Chapter 383 - There Were Blood Clots in the Brain

“Doctor.” Jiang Rui kicked away Bai Kai and Bai Weirong who still wanted to reach for him. He stopped the nurses who wanted to get in and said, “Be quick, my wife passed out.”


The nurse who walked behind the doctor was still the one with the round face. She shouted, “Officer Jiang’s wife got hurt!”


Then a crowd of reporters rushed in and everything was out of control. At last, Jiang Rui shouted, “Whoever blocks the way will be locked up for three months.”


Then the crowd went away. Before the doctor could check on Bai Weirong, he was taken to the other room by Jiang Rui. The doctor wanted to listen to her pulse when he was pushed away by Jiang Rui, who said, “You are not needed here. Just wait there.”


“Officer Jiang! Officer Jiang!” The round-faced nurse was particularly talkative that day. She said, “This is the best director in aural sugery in our army. You should relax and allow him to examine her!”


The best director in aural sugery shook his head modestly. “Not quite. I’m still lacking of clinical experience and need to learn more.”


The round-faced nurse wanted to continue her compliments when the director grimly stared at her.


“Why do you have so much words to say? It’s tough to give medical advice to the wife of an officer. What if she blames all the strange and difficult illnesses on me?” The director lowered his head and played dead. A while later, a man in a military uniform walked in.


“Master.” Hua Tuo frowned and asked, “Your wife got hurt?”


Jiang Rui looked at him. “I think so.”


Hua Tuo blinked and took Chen Chen’s pulse for three seconds. “Um, it’s an internal injury. There are blood clots in her brain.”


“What? Blood clots in the brain?” The director was too excited to say a word. The man was the best doctor in the army and was in charge of all kinds of strange illnesses.


Jiang Rui slightly glanced at him.


“Don’t worry, officer. We’ll be cooperative with the treatment. And if Hua Tuo has any instructions, I’ll be at your service!” The director became normal and serious again.


Hua Tuo nodded. “You can leave now. From now on, this place is a restricted area and can’t be approached by anyone.”


“Yes!” The director saluted and then left with a group of doctors and nurses. There were already a few soldiers by the door. He thought for a minute and said to the others, “Be careful and don’t come here without an order. If anything happens, nobody can protect you.”


In the room, Hua Tuo carefully looked at Chen Chen again and said, “It’s just a bump on the forehead and will be alright in a few days.”


“You can open your eyes now,” Jiang Rui said.


The person in bed didn’t move.


“Chen Chen?” Jiang Rui pushed her. “All right now. You don’t have to pretend.”


Still no reaction.


“Hua Tuo!” Jiang Rui said hurriedly, “What’s wrong?”


Hua Tuo thought for a second and said calmly, “She fell asleep.”


… Jiang Rui took a deep breath. He said, “Okay, I will have to trouble you in the next few days. You should brief them in the way you just said.”


“When your wife wakes up, don’t forget to tell her to pretend to be in a coma and stay in bed.” Hua Tuo carried his medical box and continued, “I’ll cope with the reporters.”


He turned to leave without asking Jiang Rui for a reason. As a soldier, it was your duty to be obedient. The reporters were driven to the entrance of the elevator and all went to him the minute they saw him.


At home, Ying Cheng was braiding the hair for Tuan Zi and Hei Zi. Just then, Bear pushed the bell downstairs to tell them that they had to go to the hospital immediately, because Chen Chen was hurt.


Tuan Zi cried all the way to the hospital and Ying Cheng held her. Bear was at the front to drive away all the reporters. When they arrived in the VIP floor, they saw Hua Tuo playing on the phone.


“Damn it. You are still playing here now that Mrs. Jiang is hurt?”


Hua Tuo looked at him, “You’d better be quiet when you walk in.”


Bear looked at him in surprise and saw Chen Chen lying in bed with her eyes closed when he walked in. Officer Jiang sat on the opposite sofa and stared at her as if she were a criminal.


“Dad, what happened to mum?” Seeing the situation, Tuan Zi didn’t dare to speak aloud. She held back her tears and rushed to Jiang Rui’s arms.


Jiang Rui frowned and held her up. “Why did you cry?”


“Oh, your mum is fine. She’s just asleep.”


Ying Cheng was almost scared to death. He was just wondering whether to call Xin Qing about it or not. And he felt relieved by those words. “Brother, what happened to her?”


“Nothing. You saw it. Just a hump on the head.”


Tuan Zi got closer to Chen Chen to look. “Mum is just asleep!”


“My God!” Bear sat next to Jiang Rui and asked, “Then why did you tell me that she was hurt and asked us to be here immediately? Tuan Zi was so scared that she cried all the way here.”


Ying Cheng thought his brother had to be scheming against someone. “Bro, where did the hump on her head come from?”


“Bai Weirong.” Jiang Rui took a look at his watch, “Tuan Zi, you should get something to eat with your little uncle and bring something back for your mother.”


Tuan Zi nodded and asked him when she was about to leave with Ying Cheng, “Daddy, do I have to pretend to be sad?”


Jiang Rui gave her ‘thumbs up’!


“Master, you want to be against the Bai family?” Bear frowned and thought it might not be a good idea.


Clenching his fists, Jiang Rui looked at Chen Chen who was sound asleep and said smilingly, “I came up with this solution because it’s not easy.”


“No wonder you came to the hospital.” Bear was about to smile when he found something wrong about it. “And your wife…?”


Jiang Rui shook his head and said, “It was an accident. I wanted her to pretend to pass out. But she really got hurt.” His eyes became dark. “I’ll remember Bai Weirong for this. I’ll let her pay and let her feel how it is to have a hump on her forehead.”


“You have to explain to her later.” Bear reminded him, “Or she may think you also schemed against her.”


Jiang Rui lifted his eyebrows and wondered whether she would think like that. He felt it not possible…


Hua Tuo yelled at the door, “Master, Mr. Bai wants to see you.”


“Let him in.” Jiang Rui looked at Chen Chen who was still asleep and despised her inside again. She hadn’t woken up in such a noisy condition; that made her like a pig not only mentally, but even more physically.


Bai Kai paced in. He had already seen the director, and knew there was something wrong with Chen Chen’s brain and she was still in a coma.


“Jiang Rui, she…” Seeing Jiang Rui ignoring him, Bai Kai changed the way he called Chen Chen. “How is your wife now?”


Jiang Rui glimpsed at him. “You’ve asked the doctor already.”


“You see, it was an accident. Nobody can expect such a big problem with just a knock!” Bai Kai quietly stood by the bed and found she was in fact under a deep sleep.


“So you mean my wife’s head is too fragile?” Jiang Rui smiled coldly. “The Bai family asked me to apologize, so I came in person with my wife. But she was seriously hurt by you and is still in a coma.”


He stood up from the couch immediately and the grim atmosphere surrounded Bai Kai. “Now, it’s your turn to give me an explanation.”


“Jiang Rui, it… it was an accident and you can’t blame us for it.” Bai Kai felt terrified under his keen eyes. He stepped back and his eyes didn’t evade. He couldn’t lose in front of the younger generation.


“Drop the nonsense.” Jiang Rui sat close to Chen Chen and touched her face. “I’ll talk to you when my wife wakes up.”


Bai Kai’s attention was on Jiang Rui and didn’t notice the woman in bed whose eyelashes trembled. He had no choice but to nod. “Okay, we can talk about it when your wife wakes up.”


“Bear, guard by the door.” After Bai Kai was gone, Jiang Rui waved his hands.


Bear had already seen Chen Chen’s hands moving and knew she was awake. He thought his master would give her some sweet talk and ran out after a reply to his words.


The room became very quiet. Jiang Rui waited for a whole minute and found that the person in bed didn’t move. So he reached out his hand to pinch her nose. The moment he touched it, his hand was slapped away, “Do you want to murder me?”


Chen Chen opened her eyes to stare at him, “You know I’m awake.”


“I don’t know.” Jiang Rui lifted the ends of his lips. “You didn’t open your eyes. How would I know you’re awake?”


“I’m too tired to quarrel with you.” Chen Chen stretched her arms to yawn; the sleep had been enough for her, so she didn’t feel dizzy anymore. Um… except for the hump on her head. She felt it with her hands and found a layer of gauze there.


Jiang Rui took her hand down and said, “Don’t touch it. Hua Tuo applied some of his specially made medicine.”


“That’s right!” Chen Chen smiled happily, “It doesn’t hurt.”


“But you must stay in bed. You can’t get up at all,” Jiang Rui said seriously, but Chen Chen just laughed in return. “Do you think I’m an idiot?”


A hump in the head had nothing to do with walking!


Jiang Rui asked her in reply, “Are you not an idiot?”


“You’re an idiot.”


“If you weren’t an idiot, you wouldn’t have hurt your head.”


“Would I be so unlucky if you hadn’t brought me here?” Chen Chen talked back, “Have you finished talking? You just want me to be cooperative to your scheme. You can just tell me directly.”


Jiang Rui nodded, “You’re more clever than before. So I’ll stop this nonsense. You can just stay in the hospital for two days.”


“Hahahaha!” Chen Chen revealed a grim smile. “I won’t!”


“Why did I have to follow your words? You took me to the hospital in the morning and got me hurt by mistake.” Chen Chen thought inside that Jiang Rui would ask her to pretend to be hurt even if she wasn’t. He must have planned to scheme against the Bai family.


“Hum, it would be too easy for you. I won’t pretend to be ill. I will go home right now!”


Chen Chen uncovered herself from under the quilt and was about to leave. And she proudly smiled to Jiang Rui.


“Are you sure you want to leave?” Jiang Rui’s arms encompassed his chest and looked at her calmly.


“Sure, of course, definitely!” Chen Chen put her shoes on. Jiang Rui nodded and said, “Um, okay. Then if Bai Weirong hired someone to kill you and knock you with a car, it will be none of my business. Anyway, go right ahead.”


Chen Chen took her foot back and turned around with a stiff neck. “You did it on purpose?”


“No.” Jiang Rui looked at her and said, “Intentionally.”


Tuan Zi pushed the door open and saw Chen Chen staring at Jiang Rui with great anger.


“Mum, what do you want to do to dad?” The little girl quickly stood in front of Jiang Rui.


Chen Chen covered her chest and looked at Tuan Zi with a hurtful expression. “What do you think I can do to him judging from our strength?”


“It’s not for sure.” Jiang Rui suddenly said, “You climb onto my bed every night, especially last night when you forced to sleep under the same quilt with me. This morning when I was bathing, you sneaked in to look at me by pretending to pee.”


Chen Chen was speechless…


Tuan Zi felt joyous.


Bear and Ying Cheng were quite confused and shocked.
