Chapter 725: The Sanatorium Is Full of Joy 10

Shen Yan almost lost control of his expression, only reacting after several seconds, feeling puzzled and confused.

Sheng Jiping and Qiao Qing were even more frightened, and Sheng Jiping hurriedly said, "His words aren't reliable; when he has a flare-up from anxiety, he feels pain everywhere."

"Not at all! It really hurts!"

Jin Chen snorted, poked at that wound, muttering, "This spot hurts the most; every time it hurts, I can't sleep."

He glanced at the two nervous people out of the corner of his eye, inwardly scoffing.

You're drenched in sweat, old timer!

Shen Yan cupped his hand and blew on it; now wasn't the time to lay everything out, so he went along with Sheng Jiping's words.

He's probably muddle-headed from the pain; otherwise how could his head trigger his hand?

He said that, and Sheng Jiping immediately felt much more relieved.

"Exactly, that's it."

Shen Yan handed the syringe back to them, saying, "This medicine isn't needed; if Jin Chen has another episode, just give him ordinary suppressant pills."

Jin Chen nodded, "My wife is right."

Qiao Qing could no longer keep a straight face, "In that case, Doctor Shen still needs to look after Jin Chen more closely; among the five patients, his condition is the worst."

They had suspected before that Jin Chen was the carrier of the second crystal, but countless tests turned up nothing.

So they could only stabilize his condition first, then continue the investigation.

"Alright, I'll take him downstairs to rest first."

Shen Yan smiled at the two, took Jin Chen's hand, and headed downstairs.

Qiao Qing immediately straightened her face, stared at Sheng Jiping, and said, "I told you we shouldn't have looked for another doctor; it's too dangerous."

"Alright, recently someone came to investigate our sanatorium, saying we have too few doctors; if those higher-ups find out, that would truly be dangerous."

Sheng Jiping held Qiao Qing and coaxed her with a few words, "Our people looked into his background; it's clean."

"Even if he really discovers something, we'll just kill him and find a replacement."

Qiao Qing snorted, kissed the cheek Sheng Jiping had brought close, and said, "You're just too quick to trust others."

"Don't be angry; your body has only just recovered, go rest a bit."

Although Qiao Qing's cancer cells have all been cleared, Sheng Jiping still worries about his health; this trip to headquarters for work will surely tire him out.

Downstairs, Shen Yan directly brought Jin Chen back to his own room.

This is one of the few rooms without surveillance.

"How are you now?"

Shen Yan had Jin Chen sit on the sofa, poured him a cup of warm water, and handed it over.

Jin Chen drank the water, diluting the bitterness of the medicine in his mouth, thought for a moment, and said, "It hurts."

"Just a little pain."

He set down the cup, lifted his head, opened his arms toward the standing Shen Yan, his eyes clear but tinged with grievance.

"Wife, hug me."

Shen Yan lowered his head, met his gaze, suddenly chuckled, leaned forward, and embraced him.

"You idiot, you're in this state yourself, yet you still think you can protect me."

【Detected emotional fluctuation of the villain toward the host, triggering Heartbeat Value, Heartbeat Value 5, total 5!】

"I'm very capable."

Jin Chen was dissatisfied, rubbing against Shen Yan's shoulders, "I can protect my wife; that's my duty!"

"Your duty should be to look after yourself; frequent headaches are dangerous."

Shen Yan said softly, and meanwhile patted his back.

"Also, I told you not to call me that."

"Alright, Yanbao."

Jin Chen readily changed his address.

Shen Yan: "……"

He almost forgot there was still this matter.

He sat on the sofa, pulled away to end the embrace.

"Let me see your hand."

Jin Chen extended both hands, "Here."

Upon touching the wound just now, Shen Yan could confirm there was an E-crystal inside.

But why is Jin Chen's condition worse than the other four people's?

Is he the carrier of two E-crystals, or a special traitor?

At this moment Shen Yan couldn't help but admit he hoped Jin Chen was the former, someone on the same side as him.

"Besides here, does anywhere else hurt?"

Jin Chen knew what he was asking with that question.

It would also be good if Shen Yan knew they were on the same side; then the two of them could find the traitor more quickly.

"Yes, but I remember, this must not be told to others."

Jin Chen's voice instantly dropped, he warily glanced at the doors and windows a few times, "Exactly, I mustn't let others know, but I can't remember who told me."

Shen Yan's expression shifted slightly, he felt a pang of sympathy.

Probably during the lab explosion, when Jin Chen was gravely wounded yet still conscious, knowing he would pass out, his mind would surely suffer severe trauma.

This was his final warning to himself.

He brushed the bangs from Jin Chen's forehead, "Then, can you tell me?"

It's okay, you're not someone else.

Jin Chen spoke firmly, paused a few seconds, then grabbed Shen Yan's sleeve and urged, 'Yanbao, don't tell anyone.'

Shen Yan felt soft-hearted from his expression, and didn't correct the address again.

Alright, let's just treat it as our little secret.

It hurts here too, and no one else knows.

Jin Chen took off his clothes, pulled his hand over, and pointed to a spot on his back, which was the position of the spine.

Shen Yan saw another wound here, but it was smaller and finer, no different from an ordinary mole.

He immediately stopped his hand, incredulously turning his head to look at Jin Chen.

The wound being smaller means the side effects aren't that big, so another E-crystal is inside Jin Chen's spine.

This was implanted during the laboratory explosion, with no anesthetic.

According to the superior's information, an E-crystal implanted in the human body will quickly control the nerves in a short time.

During that period, the human body will feel the pain of cells being reorganized; a special anesthetic is needed to suppress the pain until the wound heals automatically.

Shen Yan couldn't even imagine how painful the implantation would be, or how much willpower it would take.

It hurts so much.

Jin Chen rubbed his hand, murmuring, 'I don't know why, but it feels awful.'

Shen Yan's hand trembled slightly as he gently touched that mole, and a feeling of sourness welled up inside him.

His current task is to protect Jin Chen well and awaken his consciousness.

When it hurts again in the future, remember to tell me.

Shen Yan curved his smile, as if promising, 'I won't let Sheng Jiping hurt you again.'

Okay!

Jin Chen responded, hugging Shen Yan tightly.

I've remembered.

【Detected Villain Heartthrob Value 5, accumulated 10!】

Thump thump thump.

The knocking sound interrupted their embrace.

A nurse was shouting outside.

Doctor Shen! Jiang Qiu has had an accident!

——

When Shen Yan and the other arrived, Jiang Qiu was already half-dead, lying on the bed, with a crowd of people swarming the room.

"What's wrong with him?" Shen Yan asked.

Jin Chen looked left and right curiously, wondering if this kid actually succeeded in suicide.

Jiang Qiu's Nurse Team twitched the corners of their mouths in unison, beginning to respond one by one.

"He took advantage of our inattention, ran to the kitchen and grabbed a frozen fish to attempt suicide."

"But that frozen fish had been sitting in the corner of the fridge for a long time."

"He kept knocking it against his forehead, and after it thawed, he fainted dead from the stench."
