"What's wrong?" Wang Zizai and Professor Li asked in unison upon seeing Ying Chen's expression.
However, Ying Chen did not answer. Instead, a cold look appeared in his eyes. "A mere vengeful spirit dares to cause trouble before me?"
With that, a ball of golden light suddenly illuminated Ying Chen's palm, resembling a small sun. As Ying Chen's palm lit up, a shrill cry echoed throughout the room. Yet, the cry did not come from Wang Zizai's wife, nor from anyone present. It seemed to originate from the void.
"Hmm? Interesting. You're quite fast to flee, but can you truly escape?" Ying Chen continued. "Do you think you can escape my reach by hiding deep within her body?"
Ying Chen's palm light grew even more brilliant, and his hand moved from Wang Zizai's wife's forehead towards her dantian, as if in pursuit of something. Just as Ying Chen's hand was about to land on Wang Zizai's wife's dantian, she suddenly awoke. Although she was bound extremely tightly, she somehow found the strength to break free and grabbed Ying Chen's wrist with force, opening her mouth to bite down on his arm!
"Jiahui, what are you doing? This is Mr. Ying! The Mr. Ying who saved your life!" Wang Zizai exclaimed in alarm and reprimanded her.
But Wang Zizai's wife paid no heed, baring her teeth and ferociously lunging towards Ying Chen, like an ungrateful wretch.
"Jiahui!" Wang Zizai could not bear it any longer and grabbed his wife's hair, yanking her head back forcefully. If anyone saw this, Wang Zizai would likely become a notorious domestic abuser the next day, facing public condemnation. Under Wang Zizai's pull, his wife's mouth failed to bite Ying Chen. She glared at Ying Chen as if she had lost her mind, baring her teeth continuously and shouting, "Don't touch her! Don't touch her! If you dare touch her, I'll fight you to the death!"
Seeing his wife's state, Wang Zizai's eyes welled up with tears. His hands trembling, he reached for a bottle of sleeping pills on a nearby table, poured a few into his palm, and forced them into his wife's mouth. "Jiahui, you should sleep. You're too tired. No one will harm you, and no one can harm you. Sleep, just sleep!" Wang Zizai gently patted his wife's shoulder.
A moment later, Wang Zizai's wife fell into a deep sleep. Wang Zizai turned to Ying Chen apologetically. "I'm so sorry, Mr. Ying. I never expected Jiahui to act like this. She's never attacked anyone when she's had an episode before. I really don't know what's happening this time..." He then asked, "By the way, how was your examination? Has Jiahui's old illness relapsed? Has it worsened?"
Ying Chen retracted his hand and gazed at Wang Zizai's wife, seemingly looking at something unseen. After a full minute, Ying Chen replied, "It's not a relapse of her old illness, nor has it worsened."
"Ah?" This answer left Wang Zizai dumbfounded. His wife's behavior moments ago was terrifying, so who would believe Ying Chen when he said it hadn't worsened? It was no different from lying with his eyes open.
Ying Chen seemed to sense Wang Zizai's thoughts and chuckled. "There are some things I can't explain to you now, but I can state with absolute certainty – your wife is not sick!" This statement further stunned Wang Zizai. Even Professor Li, standing nearby, couldn't help but interject, "But... Old Wang's wife's behavior just now was not like a normal person at all!"
To his surprise, Ying Chen said, "Incorrect. Your wife's behavior just now was precisely what a normal person should exhibit. It is inaction that is abnormal!"
"Ah?" Wang Zizai and Professor Li exchanged bewildered glances, utterly speechless. They couldn't fathom the logic behind Ying Chen's words. So, a person acting like a rabid dog attacking was considered normal, while someone quiet and still was not? What kind of ridiculous theory was this?
Both Wang Zizai and Professor Li felt unconvinced in their hearts, but they tacitly chose to remain silent and not argue. While they might have had the confidence to argue with others, they had none when facing Ying Chen, a divine being who had performed the miracle of bringing people back from the dead.
"Then... since my wife isn't sick, when can she return to a normal human life?" Wang Zizai deliberately emphasized the words "normal human life," fearing that Ying Chen might consider Wang Zizai's wife's current state as the expected norm for a normal human.
Ying Chen glanced at Wang Zizai indifferently. "If you're in a hurry, I can let her return to normal now. But I still suggest you wait, as there might be other discoveries..."
"What discoveries?" Wang Zizai tried to press further, but Ying Chen no longer answered. Instead, he asked Wang Zizai to untie his wife, not to restrain her, but simply to keep a close eye on her, especially at night. If Wang Zizai's wife exhibited any unusual behavior, he was to inform Ying Chen immediately. Ying Chen would stay nearby tonight, finding a hotel close to Wang Zizai's residential area.
Despite being filled with questions, Wang Zizai nodded. "Okay, I will certainly do as you say. But... what if my wife tries to jump out the window again, like she did last night?"
Ying Chen smiled slightly. "Don't worry, I guarantee your wife won't jump. Even if she opens the window, walks to the sill, or even sticks her head out, the possibility of her jumping is zero. I told you, your wife is not sick; she is a normal person. She wouldn't do something that would lead to her own death."
"..." Wang Zizai was speechless. His reason told him that he should trust Ying Chen, as Ying Chen had saved his wife's life. Yet, his emotions urged him not to trust Ying Chen, because if his wife really jumped, there would be no turning back. From the eighteenth floor, she would be instantly reduced to a bloody mess.
"I'm leaving now. Remember what I said," Ying Chen emphasized once more before turning to leave. Wang Zizai was left alone in the room, his expression contorted with indecision. Should he listen to Ying Chen or not? After a long pause, Wang Zizai gritted his teeth and stomped his foot. "When I lecture, I always tell my students one thing: Never let amateurs direct experts. Let experts do expert work, no matter how bizarre their actions may seem! They at least have theoretical basis and logical foundations that amateurs lack. And in relation to Mr. Ying, I am an amateur in the medical field. How dare I question Mr. Ying? How dare I criticize Mr. Ying? Therefore, tonight, I will act according to Mr. Ying's instructions!"
With that, Wang Zizai casually untied the ropes binding his wife and carried her back into the bedroom.
