Ji Younai felt dizzy, perhaps because her forehead had hit the ground too hard just now.
The hot stinging pain in her cheeks made her frown and grit her teeth while bearing with it.
The doctor sealed her mouth with tape.
They were afraid that she would spout nonsense in front of the media and reporters.
"In this case, can we interview her in person?"
The female reporter who was still looking at Ji Younai sympathetically, immediately retreated a little upon hearing that Ji Younai was aggressive.
"She's delirious. If you'd like, you may interview her aunt and uncle. It's the same!"
Director Wang smiled with some annoyance and looked at Ji Cuihua and her husband.
Ji Cuihua wanted to decline, but the female reporter's microphone was already right in front of her.
"Hello, Madam, may I ask if Ms. Ji had really been resurrected after death?"
Ji Cuihua looked at the camera awkwardly and said, "Um... I'm not very sure about that."
"Why did she escape the funeral parlor and get sent to the asylum then?"
Seemingly trying to build a good image in front of the camera, Ji Cuihua took a deep breath and pretended to be sad.
"This child's parents suddenly had a car accident. She suffered a huge blow and tried to take her own life. After she escaped from the funeral parlor, she went to my home and behaved hysterically. Although she did not die, she went berserk. I had no choice but to send her here. It's a huge pity."
"Her parents are dead? As far as I know, the treatment and medical bills of Ninth Asylum are hefty. Who will pay for those expenses?"
"Me! I'm her aunt. Since her parents have entrusted her to me, I'll have to take on the responsibility! She's very pitiful. I can't help it, but I'm so disappointed today. I've been so good to her, and yet, she kicked and bit me today. Look at these wounds!"
While speaking, Ji Cuihua revealed the bite mark on her arm, trying to gain sympathy.
Ji Younai's limbs were tied, and she had collapsed onto the cold, hard ground. Upon hearing Ji Cuihua's words, she slowly closed her eyes, causing her tears to flow past the corner of her eyes continuously.
'No, it's not like what she said...'
'She's lying.'
"Look, these are the medical bills! It's a VIP ward! I gave her the best conditions to live in! Yet, she still did this to me! She has no conscience at all!"
Ji Younai was tearing up even more.
However, she had completely given up on struggling and resisting.
She could sense that the media personnel was all looking at her with shock, bewilderment, astonishment, condemnation… and disgust.
She was sobbing and choking, but due to the fact that her lips were sealed, she could not take in deep breaths at all. She couldn't breathe either.
Who could help her...
No one, no one could help her.
Her closest family members had already left her.
She could now only be attacked and trampled on, with no dignity, no right to resist.
She would rather be dead.
...
Gong Siyu woke up to discover that Ji Younai was no longer around.
He waited for a long time, but she still did not return. Hence, he called Yang Zhi to accompany him to search for Ji Younai.
Coincidentally, they ran into Bai Feiran and the butler who was there to deliver breakfast to him at the elevator.
He would get the servants to prepare his food at home and deliver them because he was worried that others would tamper with his food.
He found out that Ji Younai was in the administrative office of the asylum.
Gong Siyu's pace was unhurried and languid. He headed to the office with Bai Feiran and Yang Zhi.
The alluring smile on his handsome face vanished without a trace after he saw Ji Younai who had been tied up and had her lips sealed together by tape in the office.
The air seemed to have suddenly frozen and become cold and chilly.
Gong Siyu gazed at Ji Younai, who had fallen to the ground and was already crying her heart out. His heart tensed up.
In an instant, the gaze in his eyes turned dreadfully menacing, and it was as if everyone in the office was dead. He looked around in a hostile manner and stepped foot inside.
"What are you people doing?"
His voice was even colder than the temperature in winter.
Gong Siyu strode towards Ji Younai quickly, bent down, and got ready to untie her. However, he heard a voice coming from behind.
"You can't untie her! She's insane, and she bites!"
"Get lost."
His side profile was cold, and his lips were pressed together.
Gong Siyu's chest was filled with hostility that was about to erupt. However, he did not want to frighten Ji Younai.
She looked extremely devastated and seemed to have been beaten up.
He untied her and tore away the tape on her mouth.
Ji Younai was like a broken, lifeless doll who did not even react when she saw him coming. She simply stared at one spot in a dumbfounded manner with tears in her eyes. She looked sad and miserable, dull, and unsettling.
Gong Siyu pulled Ji Younai into his arms and hugged her tightly.
She was rather lithe and light. It did not take him much effort to hold her.
Looking at the badge on Director Wang's chest with his gloomy eyes, he sneered, "You're the medical administrative director, huh? Pack up and quit. You're such an eyesore."
He was the one who said that Ji Younai was insane and had bitten others.
Looking at the handsome man who made an absurd comment while dressed in the hospital gown of the asylum, Director Wang frowned.
"Who is this!?! Which ward does this patient belong to? His illness must be acting up. Hurry and take him away!"
"Who do you think you are?"
Upon hearing the words, Gong Siyu glared at Director Wang with a cold gaze in his eyes. He smiled faintly in disdain. "Who am I?" He continued in a stern and gloomy manner, "I'm someone who can buy this hospital and get you to scram." After a pause, he added, "Anyone who touches her in this office today will have to scram."
As soon as Gong Siyu mentioned acquiring Ninth Asylum, Bai Feiran immediately took out his cellphone and started contacting the legal representative of the asylum, as if he were buying a toy.
Besides, when he saw the media personnel and reporters in the office, he immediately started handling the public relations.
He seamlessly spent a huge amount of money to delete all of the videos and voice recordings and made a copy of them.
Gong Siyu carried Ji Younai heartbreakingly and left.
Bai Feiran was left behind to take care of the remaining matters.
It seemed that Director Wang had still yet to recognize who he was.
Yang Zhi gave him a timely answer.
"He's the one who threatened the old director yesterday and insisted that he must be hospitalized."
In an instant, the medical administrative director was astonished, and he fell onto the chair.
He knew that a person with a frightening identity and powerful background had been admitted to the hospital yesterday.
He did not expect it to be that person!
The doctors in the office had sullen expressions. Ji Younai's aunt and uncle were the only ones who still had not figured out what was going on. Seeing that the reporters had been sent away, they yelled, "We can't let her stay in such an expensive place anymore! Hurry and move her to another ward!"
However, no one in the ward answered her.
Gong Siyu carried Ji Younai back to the ward and laid her down on the bed. Her eyes were bloodshot, and her pale, porcelain-like face was abnormally swollen as well. Gong Siyu discovered that there was a swollen bump on the corner of her forehead, on which there was a visible bruise.
He ordered the servants who waited on him in the ward to bring two ice packs.
Gong Siyu sat by the bed and held onto an ice pack in each hand, which he then personally placed on Ji Younai's face.
"It won't hurt once we put this on your face. Be good."
As soon as he finished speaking he was shocked to find that there was still blood at the corners of Ji Younai's mouth. His face grew sullen and he wondered, 'How hard did they hit her to make her end up like that?'
"Who hit you?" he questioned angrily.
"Uncle..." she answered in a soft and feeble voice that tugged at his heartstrings.
He thought to himself in shock, 'Uncle?'
Gong Siyu finally recalled that there were two people in the office just now who didn't look like doctors. 'Could they be her aunt and uncle?'
'Did I let the two culprits off?'
