It turned out to be Ai Yousheng, the uncle-in-law of my childhood friend, Second Brave.
Before the New Year, it was Second Brave's uncle-in-law who had added Zhang Yuchen on WeChat.
Now that he was calling me, it was probably related to Zhang Yuchen not having returned.
Their holiday lasted until the tenth day of the lunar month, and today was only the eighth.
So I said to Ai Yousheng over the phone:
"That won't be a problem, but I'm still working at the hospital right now.
You can give me an address, and I'll come take a look after I get off work."
But after hearing that, Ai Yousheng hurriedly said:
"No, no. My friend has already been diagnosed with a mental illness.
His family is looking for a psychiatric hospital to send him to.
I'll let them know and have his family bring him straight to your hospital.
But his family doesn't believe in this stuff.
My friend secretly called me and asked me to help him.
So, Master Jiang, please keep this confidential! When we meet, don't reveal that you're a master."
I understood that, so I simply replied with a hum.
"Don't worry. Bring him over and I'll take a look.
If he really has mental issues, our hospital can treat him too.
If it's something evil, I can take care of that as well."
After everything I had experienced, encountering this sort of thing again left me calm and composed.
Ai Yousheng repeatedly agreed.
"Alright, alright, alright. I'll get it done right away. Master Jiang, sorry to trouble you."
"It's nothing. Just call me when he gets here."
"..."
After that, I exchanged a few perfunctory words with him and gave Ai Yousheng the number for the inpatient department, telling him to contact them himself.
