Chapter 415: 415 The Photos in the Phone Were Restored
Even though my eyes were wrapped with gauze, I had no perception of day or night.
Had it not been for my ability to hear, I would be unable to distinguish between day and night.
“Dr. Ding, this is the patient from yesterday.”
The voice carried respect and reverence.
It showcased the visitor’s dignity.
It was the aura of Dr. Ding Yinuo.
Even from a distance, I could feel his presence,
And his extremely reluctant and perfunctory attitude.
I knew that he was probably here for rounds today to check on my recovery, seeing as I was his patient.
Actually, I was no longer in pain, but when he checked my wound, he deliberately tore at the hurt part, causing a fiery pain to surge through me.
I turned my head to one side.
“Dr. Ding, the surgery is done. If you don’t want to check on my injuries, you don’t have to come.”
My tone was somewhat harsh.
It seemed I had touched Dr. Ding Yinuo’s sore spot.
He tossed the forceps he was holding into the tray and snorted disdainfully,
“Do you think I want to see you? If you weren’t so despicable, I wouldn’t bother coming here.”
Having said that, he turned around,
“Let’s go, to the next ward.”
“Dr. Ding, does this patient need to change their dressing? The recovery of the wound…”
“Forget about her!”
After saying that, the sound of footsteps gradually faded away.
A moment later, the doctor came back and began scolding me,
“Hey, not to lecture you, but as a patient, don’t you have any self-awareness? If you want the doctor to treat you, you have to keep a low profile! Otherwise, what was the point of your surgery?”
I was somewhat angry,
“Which doctor is so arrogant? His attitude is wrong! Yes, I’m a patient, but I’m not a beggar. I’m not groveling for his help, I can’t do such a thing.”
“Hey, what are you talking about? Do you know who Dr. Ding is? For him to perform this surgery on you is like smoke rising from your family’s ancestral grave. You know, he’s the only person in the city who could perform this operation.”
“His attitude is a problem; his job is to treat and save people, not to dispense charity to a beggar!”
I always harbored hostility towards Ding Yinuo because my eyes were damaged by Jiang Jiaying, and his treating me was akin to atoning for her.
Instead of compensating me on Jiang Jiaying’s behalf and being aware of it, he was posturing with me, which was intolerable.
“It’s not quite like that; actually, Dr. Ding used to be a very nice person. They say he’s been this irritable only since his girlfriend got kidnapped.”
Such an explanation shocked me,
“Jiang Jiaying was kidnapped?”
“Ah, I just heard rumors; I don’t know the details… Come on, don’t move, let me change your dressing.”
After the resident doctor applied the medicine, he left in a hurry, not elaborating further on Ding Yinuo’s situation.
But hearing such news shocked me, and I couldn’t recover from it for a long time.
Around noon.
Wenya came.
At that time, Jian Jing had just brought me a bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge, of which I had eaten half.
Wenya held my hand and asked,
“I heard Dr. Ding Yinuo performed your surgery?”
I calmly replied, “He nearly killed me! I don’t know if it was on purpose or not, but they only gave me half the dose of anesthesia. The anesthesia wore off before the surgery was even over. The second half was excruciatingly painful.”
“Fuck! He actually took personal revenge under the guise of official business, so shameful… But, I heard that Jiang Jiaying was kidnapped.”
“Who told you that?”
“Who else but Su Peisheng? Don’t forget, they run in the same circles. According to Su Peisheng, Jiang Jiaying suddenly disappeared the night before last, and it wasn’t until yesterday morning that the kidnappers sent a ransom note, with Jiang Jiaying’s hair inside.”
“What are the kidnapper’s demands?”
“Definitely not extortion! Because there’s been no news about the Ding Family scrambling to gather money. The Ding Family didn’t report it to the police, nor did they make it public. After discussing it with Su Peisheng, we reached a conclusion.”
“What conclusion?”
“We’re thinking, the condition the kidnapper offered might be to perform surgery on you.”
“Huh? Is there evidence?”
“Yes, there is, look, didn’t they perform surgery on you? Think about it, before, he absolutely refused to operate on you. Now he finally agreed…”
Wenya analyzed logically.
Jian Jing couldn’t help but say, “I thought he had a change of heart!”
“Bullshit, what change of heart could he have? Let me tell you, men in business to the core are heartless, they are all about profit.
I also suddenly understood why Ding Yinuo was so reluctant to give me more anesthesia.
Turns out, he was forced, he did it unwillingly.
No wonder his attitude was so bad when he did his rounds, his temper so volatile.
“Heh, I actually want to know who kidnapped Jiang Jiaying!”
Jian Jing said, “I guess it was Shen Yishu!”
Wenya immediately denied it, “Impossible, Shen Yishu is a scholar. Even though he is now a boss, deep down he is still a coward, he doesn’t have the guts to go against the Ding Family. Besides, he doesn’t have any background, doesn’t even have friends in the underworld, do you think it’s easy to kidnap such a big living person without the Jiang Family or the Ding Family getting wind of it?”
Jian Jing was stunned for a while, “Then I have no idea!”
Wenya looked at me, “Ayun, can you think of who it might be?”
I nodded, “I can pretty much guess who it is, have the pictures on your phone recovered?”
“They’re fixed!”
“Help me look at the photo, did it capture anyone?”
At this moment, I was a little excited. I couldn’t wait to confirm my own guess.
Wenya handed her phone to Jian Jing,
“Actually, when I came here, I had already looked at it on the way. But I can’t be too sure, you take a look, too.”
Jian Jing took the phone and after looking for a while said,
“Hey, you took so many pictures, they’re all of the back, or else it’s a side profile.”
“You can’t make out the face?”
“Not a single front face, but I can still recognize it!”
“Is it Gu Yuanzhou?”
“No!”
The last two words were said by Wenya and Jian Jing in unison.
The two spoke with one voice, simultaneously denying it.
I felt very disappointed,
“How is it possible? If not Gu Yuanzhou, then who?”
Jian Jing said, “Ayun, don’t be anxious! This person does look a bit like Gu Yuanzhou, but… it’s not him. Anyway, just wait until your eyes are better and you can see for yourself.”
“Can you take another close look? His clothes, his manner, are you sure it’s not Gu Yuanzhou?”
Wenya hesitated for a while, “How do I put this? Ayun, after being married to Gu Yuanzhou for so many years, can’t you feel it’s not him?”
I took the phone from Wenya’s hands, “Okay, let’s leave it at that!”
Jian Jing on the side encouraged me, “I asked the doctor, you can remove the dressing in a week. Then you can see for yourself.”
