Chapter 125: Is Mental Illness Contagious?

After finishing the call, Shen Jingchuan threw his phone onto the bed.

After speaking a few words with Shen Jinghe using this phone, he felt annoyed by it, just like Shen Jinghe.

Wen Yan witnessed her phone being tossed to the end of the bed and said, "............"

"What did my phone do wrong? She's still hooked up to the IV. How can she take her phone?"

But Wen Yan didn't need to say anything.

Shen Jingchuan immediately realized his mistake and picked up the phone to hand it to Wen Yan.

"Here, take it. I heard that Shen Jinghe insisted on coming to see you in the hospital. You're willing to let him come, right? Your mouth... well, you can wear a mask anyway."

Wen Yan: [You're asking me now? What were you doing earlier!!!]

Shen Jingchuan awkwardly touched his nose. What could he do? His mouth was faster than his brain, and sometimes it was hard to control.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to change the topic.

"By the way, do you know those two people from the tea garden earlier? Well, I forgot, you can't talk right now."

But as soon as Shen Jingchuan finished speaking, Wen Yan's phone suddenly emitted an emotionless robotic female voice.

"He introduced himself as Hou Wenbin, a producer who arranged a meeting with me and drugged me. But I don't know the other guy. Did the police tell you anything?"

Shen Jingchuan: "...This is possible? What app is this?"

The emotionless robotic female voice: "Hahaha, it's unusual, isn't it? You've missed out on so many apps during the few years you've been abroad. But it's better in China, the moon is rounder here. As long as I type, the software can read these words."

"I downloaded this when I was filming last time. I played a deaf-mute character, so I downloaded this software while learning sign language. How is it? Not bad, right?"

Shen Jingchuan gave a thumbs-up. "I think you're more amazing. You type really fast!"

Emotionless robotic female voice: "Of course, my typing speed is impressive. You haven't shared with me yet. Did the police tell you anything? Is the guy we beat up Hou Wenbin's accomplice?"

"I don't know," Shen Jingchuan pulled up a chair and sat next to the hospital bed, saying, "The police didn't reveal much when they came this time. They mainly came to check if you were fit for a statement and to return your bag. But I've already declined on your behalf."

"And it seems like they have found out the name of that man. His name should be Qiao Qinglang, and they asked if we knew him."

Qiao Qinglang? Wen Yan fell into deep thought.

The name sounded familiar, like she had heard it somewhere.

"What, do you really know this guy?" Shen Jingchuan asked.

Emotionless robotic female voice: "I'm not sure, but it's somewhat familiar. I felt a bit familiar when I first saw him at the tea garden. But I just can't remember where I've seen him before."

"Can't remember? Is it like forgetting something from your childhood, amnesia?"

Emotionless robotic female voice: "No, no, it's not that familiar."

"Then think again. Do you want some water? I'll pour you a glass."

Emotionless robotic female voice: "No, I can't drink. I have medicine on my mouth, so I can't drink now."

Shen Jingchuan sympathetically looked at the bottom half of Wen Yan's face covered by a mask and sighed.

"Alright, I won't drink either, so you don't have to watch me longingly."

Wen Yan: [....I didn't expect him to be so chivalrous, but it's not necessary to be thirsty for a sip of water.]

But who exactly is Qiao Qinglang?

Thinking about it, the only Qiao she knew was Qiao Kexin.

Just a few days ago, she had a conflict with Qiao Kexin at the banquet, so...

Emotionless robotic female voice: "I remembered, this person is Qiao Kexin's stepbrother. If I remember correctly, he is the second son of Qiao Family. Her stepfather has two sons, and Qiao Qinglang is the second son."

"So you think today's incident is related to that girl named Qiao Kexin? You mentioned her when you asked me to lend you ten million to compensate a classmate's mother for her bracelet," Shen Jingchuan said.

"Right. Although I don't remember the past, I did mention Qiao Kexin's name in the chat records you showed me."

"So what's the deal with their Qiao family? Did you offend the Qiao family or that girl?"

"Qiao Kexin."

"Why? Tell me more about it."

"............" Wen Yan fell silent, and the emotionless robotic female voice also fell silent.

Shen Jingchuan, who had been waiting for a few seconds without any continuation, became anxious. "What's wrong? Why aren't you speaking? Even typing a few words with your fingers would do."

Wen Yan shook her head.

"Don't be like this. The more mysterious you are, the more interested I become! Just tell me, or I'll have to guess."

Wen Yan continued shaking her head.

Shen Jingchuan said, "Is it because you two were competing for the same man and she lost to you?"

Wen Yan: "............" Unable to bear it anymore, she rolled her eyes at Shen Jingchuan.

Rolling her eyes wasn't enough. Wen Yan quickly typed on her phone.

Emotionless robotic female voice: "What the hell, I'm speechless. Why would you have such thoughts? I thought you were different from others, with a broader mindset. How could I possibly compete with her for a man?"

"If I find a man in the future, he definitely won't give other women the illusion that they can take him away from me. Otherwise, he can leave. Why would I want someone who makes me feel miserable?"

"...So, what's the reason then? Do you want me to continue guessing?" Shen Jingchuan asked.

"Fine, it's nothing, really. It's just that I rejected a ridiculous request from her. Speaking of which, it does have something to do with you."

"???" Shen Jingchuan furrowed his brows. "What does it have to do with me? I don't even know her."

"Because her stepfather wants to marry her off to an old man, and she doesn't want to. So she found me and wanted me to convince you to pretend to be her boyfriend. Then her stepfather wouldn't force her to get married."

"?????" Although Shen Jingchuan was handsome, at this moment, he had the same shocked expression as an elderly person on a subway looking at their phone.

"Is she sick? Did she just escape from a mental hospital? Does she have a screw loose in her head?”

"I also thought the same thing. You don't know how shocked I was at that moment. I refused her, and she even threatened me. Maybe it's because of this incident that she resents me now."

"I never expected that she could talk her second brother into helping her. In my impression, her relationship with her stepbrother wasn't good. No, it seems like her relationship with the entire Qiao family is bad."

"That's why she is jealous of me, jealous of how you treat me well. Before, she used to give me bad advice, and I did some foolish things by listening to her."

"Vicious!" Shen Jingchuan commented on Qiao Kexin, his face filled with disdain. "They are truly disgusting. The Qiao family is doomed!"

Emotionless machine female voice: "Yes, absolutely disgusting."

Wen Yan: *exhales* Thankfully he didn't ask how Qiao Kexin threatened me back then, I wouldn't know how to answer.

Shen Jingchuan: "I have another question. You mentioned earlier that she threatened you. How did she threaten you and with what?"

Wen Yan: *Is he a mind reader? Why does he know exactly what I'm thinking?*

Shen Jingchuan: "............" Well, what do you know, he does.

Wen Yan shook her head.

Emotionless machine female voice: "You misheard me earlier, I didn't say that."

"Is that so? But I have evidence."

Because Wen Yan had been using the method of text-to-voice communication with Shen Jingchuan, all the messages she had typed were recorded on her phone.

Shen Jingchuan leaned closer, swiping her screen and tapping with his index finger. "What do you have to say now? Still want to argue?"

Wen Yan shook her head.

Emotionless machine female voice: "She was just being threatening, saying that I would regret everything in the future."

Shen Jingchuan squinted at Wen Yan, his gaze full of seriousness. "It's not entertaining. I thought we had patched things up and returned to how we were before. We spent so much time chatting by the river that day, I thought we had developed a bond."

Emotionless machine female voice: "That's right, we did."

"Don't try to please me like this!" Shen Jingchuan's expression turned stern. "Actually, I know that you sold the car because I went home today. Do you know how I managed to reach you in such a short time from the moment I received your location to finding you? It took me only a little over ten minutes.

"Because I forgot that you had plans with someone else tonight, I foolishly bought barbecue and crayfish to bring home for you. But then I remembered that you wouldn't be home tonight.

"The moment I realized you sold the car to transfer 5 million to me... I... I immediately called you. Do you know how worried I was when I saw you covered in blood lying on the ground?

"I was really damn worried! I thought you were dead! If... if I had found your corpse today, what would you have wanted me to do?"

Shen Jingchuan had a hot temper, and his words came out hurriedly, but each one came from the depths of his heart. His eyes reddened as he spoke.

Wen Yan had been smiling, but upon hearing Shen Jingchuan's words, her chest suddenly tightened. But soon, that constricting feeling turned into warmth, flowing into every part of her body like a gentle stream.

No wonder when Shen Jingchuan carried her into the car, she thought she smelled the scent of barbecue. At that time, she thought it was just an illusion, but it turned out to be real.

"Thank you for your concern," Wen Yan said.

"............" Shen Jingchuan's intense emotions were immediately undermined by Wen Yan's vague response.

"You should let your tongue rest and type instead. No need to thank me, you did well yourself. Even if I hadn't arrived in time, you would have handled it. The one who should be thanked is me, thank you for the 5 million."

Emotionless machine female voice: "No need to thank me. It was actually my debt to you."

"I've said no need to thank me, consider that 5 million as your investment. I'll give you a share of the profits in the future. Now, tell me, how did that Qiao person threaten you?"

Wen Yan: *............* Damn it, how did we end up back on this question?

Emotionless machine female voice: "Is this place soundproof? Can't be heard by others? Are people coming and going outside?"

"No, it's a VVIP area, I paid a lot of money."

Emotionless machine female voice: "Can't we not talk about it?"

"Why can't we discuss it? I already know about your memory loss, so what's the big deal about a little more?" Shen Jingchuan asked impatiently.

Wen Yan: Giving her older brother drugs is not a small thing.

In the end, she chose to type instead of using the voice function.

After reading it, Shen Jingchuan's expression changed dramatically.

After a few seconds of silence, he found his voice again.

"What did you just say? Told me to open my eyes? You guys really went all out... You played quite recklessly... Giving drugs to my older brother is not a small thing, you know?"

Wen Yan knew the consequences, even before she transmigrated, because drugging Shen Jingxi crossed the Shen family's bottom line, she was sent back to her original self and eventually ended up in despair and committed suicide.

"You would have suffered a terrible fate. In the future, don't even think about coming up with such wicked ideas!"

"You will definitely die a miserable death. Don't even think about such bad ideas in the future!"

"Of course, I won't think about it anymore. Besides, I can't be kicked out of the Shen family now."

"If you ever encounter such a thing again, come to me directly. If you insist on using someone from this family, I should be your first choice, understand?"

Wen Yan: [Sob, he's so good!]

"Because other people may not pay attention to you."

Wen Yan: [No need to worry, it's not impossible. Shen Jinghe might also be an option.]

Just think about Shen Jinghe if you want.

As soon as Shen Jinghe arrived at the door of the hospital room, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Wen Yan's voice in his heart.

There is still a voice and breath, so it should be fine.

Shen Jinghe quickly pulled down his black mask and pushed open the door of the hospital room, walking in briskly.

Wen Yan and Shen Jingchuan were both startled.

But they quickly reacted.

Wen Yan smiled and raised the hand without the infusion tube, waving at Shen Jinghe.

Shen Jingchuan, on the other hand, turned his head and didn't even make eye contact with Shen Jinghe.

Upon seeing Wen Yan wearing a mask, receiving an infusion, and having red marks on her neck, Shen Jinghe immediately walked over.

He stood by the bedside, slowly reached out his hand, wanting to remove Wen Yan's mask. "Let me see."

Wen Yan quickly waved him off and turned her head sideways.

Shen Jinghe was surprised to see her reaction.

"What happened to you? Why aren't you talking?"

After saying that, he turned to look at Shen Jingchuan, realizing that it was inconvenient for Wen Yan to speak.

"What happened to her? Did something happen?"

Shen Jingchuan's eyes sparkled with anger when he looked at Shen Jinghe. "Is this your attitude when you come to ask about something?"

"Shen Jingchuan!" Shen Jinghe was a little angry. "Is this the time for you to throw a tantrum?"

Oh, he's throwing a tantrum, huh?! Whatever, it's all for Wen Yan.

"She was drugged by someone impersonating Hou Wenbin, and in order to stay conscious, she sprayed pepper spray into her mouth. Now her tongue is swollen, and her mouth looks like two sausages, so she can't speak."

Wen Yan: [Thank you, fortunately, you don't know that I drool when I open my mouth.]

Shen Jingchuan: ...too late, I already know.

Shen Jinghe frowned at the information and asked Wen Yan, "Was it the person pretending to be Hou Wenbin who did this?"

??? Shen Jingchuan stood up from his chair, his fists clenched. "You already knew about this?!”
