Are You Crazy? He's only an Intern Lawyer?-Chapter 25 - Conclusion and Hospitalization, I Need Psychological Counseling
25: Chapter 25 Conclusion and Hospitalization, I Need Psychological Counseling
25 -25 Conclusion and Hospitalization, I Need Psychological Counseling
Two days later.
Dongfang Capital City Hospital, Emergency Room Ward.
The same familiar ward, the same familiar bed.
“Damn it, you bunch of losers!”
On that same bed number 1 that he had once occupied, Zhang Wei suddenly opened his eyes and cursed loudly on the spot.
He sat up tensely, but after 0.5 seconds, his expression collapsed with regret…
He regretted it deeply.
Feeling the tearing pain coming from his waist, his face twisted into a “joyful” pretzel.
His shout also frightened awake the Simple-minded person who had been dozing off beside his bed.
This time, however, the Simple-minded person was not angry but instead looked delighted.
“Zhang Wei, you’re awake!”
“Yeah, I’m awake…”
Zhang Wei rubbed his swollen head, which ached from being unconscious for so long.
Looking down, he found that this time he was relatively normal, except for the bandage wrapped around his waist, unlike the first time when he was bound up like a mummy.
It seemed that the doctors had been merciful.
“That’s great, that’s great, I just knew that good people have a natural lifespan!” Xia Qianyue almost jumped for joy.
Once she confirmed that Zhang Wei was alright, she naturally beamed with happiness, her charming face and bright, sunny smile made Zhang Wei feel that his sacrifice was worth it.
“Right, Captain Wu Yong said that if you woke up, to let him know, hold on!”
Xia Qianyue said, and immediately sent out a message.
Zhang Wei inwardly sighed with pity.
He had wanted to spend some time alone with the Simple-minded person and deepen their connection, but now they had to involve some extra third wheels.
But then he remembered he was the injured one, and with the Simple-minded person’s incredible strength, things could easily get out of hand if emotions ran high.
If she couldn’t control herself and used any move like “Demon Subduing Punch” or “Exterminate Kick,” he would be doomed.
Considering that, having extra third wheels around was actually not too bad.
At least there would be more people, making things livelier and safer…
In less than 20 minutes, Captain Wu Yong and his team arrived.
The Serious Crimes Unit, a total of four people, Captain Wu Yong, his deputy Old Xing, and Subordinate Ah Ni came.
As for the subordinate called Tamu, he didn’t come.
The Serious Crimes Unit, being part of the Martial Association Investigation Department, had official work to do, but someone had to stay at their post, and Tamu, not being good at socializing, became the one “left behind to hold down the fort.”
“Good lad, you’re really okay!”
Seeing Zhang Wei awake, Captain Wu Yong was very happy.
“Captain Wu, nice to see you all!” Zhang Wei greeted them with a smile.
“You did well, kid.
According to your girlfriend, it was you who found the clue with the tattoo, and after following it, you found Sister Dong’s Bar along with the suspects Xu Dong and her boyfriend Tao Rui.
This series of cases could be solved all thanks to you!”
Without taking credit, Captain Wu Yong specially thanked Zhang Wei.
However, when he mentioned “girlfriend,” Xia Qianyue blushed, embarrassed and unconsciously lowered her head.
Even the Simple-minded person has moments of shyness…
“It was a team effort.” Zhang Wei didn’t dare to take all the credit, promptly adding a comment.
“What credit do we have?
We just acted on your tip and came to support immediately.
Although we were the ones who arrested them, it was you who found them, and that’s an undeniable fact!”
Captain Wu Yong said, but then he added with some concern: “However, we haven’t made your information public out of consideration that you might not want to attract too much attention.
Of course, if you want the honor, we can immediately hold a press conference and announce your deeds.”
“No, no, no, I don’t want that kind of honor, being too high-profile isn’t good, I like keeping a low profile, it’s quite nice.” Zhang Wei quickly shook his head, declining the offer.
Although such publicity could bring great fame, it didn’t align with his future plans.
Moreover, by assisting the Martial Association and the Serious Crimes Unit, he had established a good relationship with them, which could help him in the future.
If he took all the credit, the members of the unit might look down upon him, and this favor would be considered repaid, which in the end was more disadvantageous than beneficial.
Seeing Zhang Wei’s refusal, Captain Wu Yong did not insist.
Some people simply do not care for honors, and you have to let them make that choice.
In fact, compared to those empty titles, Zhang Wei cared more about something more practical.
“Captain Wu, how is the criminal doing, has the Procuratorate’s Office charged them yet?”
After all, he had been injured in return for this, and he definitely didn’t want to have sacrificed in vain, so he naturally cared about the situation with the killer.
“Of course, Xu Dong and Tao Rui, involved in three first-degree murders, with Xu Dong also inciting murder, on top of producing counterfeit currency, possession of counterfeit currency, intentional injury, attempted murder, illegal gang activities, and so on, they’ll never see the light of day again!”
“That’s great, my sacrifice has led to the criminals being brought to justice.
This life of mine is worth it!”
“Zhang Wei, what nonsense are you spouting?
If you sacrificed yourself, what would I do!”
Hearing Zhang Wei’s words, Xia Qianyue at his side became unsettled.
Looking at the Silly person glaring at him, Zhang Wei chuckled mischievously, “Then you, can only be a widow…”
“Drop dead!” The Silly person flew into a rage.
“Hahaha…”
Captain Wu Yong and the other two laughed along, filling the hospital room with a joyful atmosphere.
After exchanging pleasantries with Zhang Wei for a moment, Captain Wu Yong’s expression suddenly became serious, “Speaking of which, kid, with such skills, have you thought about developing a career at the Martial Association?”
This was a form of invitation, working at the Martial Association meant joining their official team.
Suitable enough, Zhang Wei studied law, and his major matched perfectly, joining the Martial Association wouldn’t be a problem.
And by joining the Martial Association, he could even work with Xia Qianyue as colleagues, since in the Martial Association, there were no rules against office romances.
When Xia Qianyue heard Captain Wu Yong say this, she looked up with anticipation.
“Captain Wu, I actually want to become a lawyer, my battlefield isn’t the crime scene, it’s in the courtroom…”
However, Zhang Wei firmly refused, which made Xia Qianyue unable to hide her disappointment, her eyes dimming slightly.
While his heart fluttered a bit at the offer, Zhang Wei knew that the path of a lawyer was the right one for him.
“Well, to each their own.
Since you want to be a lawyer, it’s your freedom to choose.
But remember, Team 7 will always remember your help!”
Captain Wu Yong nodded in agreement, not insisting further.
But this time, they truly owed Zhang Wei a big favor.
Team 7 had always been undervalued in the major crimes unit, or else their members wouldn’t have been troublemakers from the Martial Association.
Especially since the internal restructuring, with former Teams 4, 5, and 6 splitting off to other jurisdictions, Team 7 had become like the relatives nobody loved or cared for.
On the other hand, Teams 1, 2, and 3 had abundant access to Martial Association resources to assist with cases, and their members were full of drive.
Team 7, on the other hand, couldn’t catch cases on a regular basis, and their success rate in solving crimes wasn’t increasing, lacking the necessary resources and stuck in a vicious cycle.
Zhang Wei’s involvement had helped them crack three murder cases and a counterfeit currency case in one fell swoop, significantly boosting their performance.
And during the days Zhang Wei was hospitalized, the higher-ups had even organized an awards ceremony, giving commendations to the entire Team 7.
This honor delighted Captain Wu Yong, but it also made him feel even more guilty towards Zhang Wei.
Because it was Zhang Wei who had solved the case and found the killer, and he had merely tied up the loose ends, yet he now received the credit.
“Alright then, the doctor said you need more rest, so we won’t disturb you any longer.
But Zhang, remember, if you ever face any trouble in the future, let us know.
Team 7 will always have your back!”
Being addressed as “Little Zhang” also indicated that he had grown closer to Captain Wu Yong.
Finally, after adding each other on WeChat, Captain Wu Yong took his leave, since the patient needed to rest.
With Captain Wu Yong and the others gone, only Zhang Wei and the Silly person were left in the hospital room.
“Silly person, pass me my phone, I need to make an appointment.”
“Oh~”
Xia Qianyue complied, but then realized, “What do you need an appointment for?
The doctor said you need to rest for a week before you can move around, and you can’t be discharged in the next few days.”
“Humph, you can’t trust what doctors say, my body feels great.
As for the appointment, having gone through such an ordeal, of course, I need some psychological counseling.”
Zhang Wei’s reasoning was flawless, and Xia Qianyue also felt that after such an event, he indeed needed to talk to a professional counselor, so she didn’t suspect anything.
But she still urged Zhang Wei not to push himself, since there was still time before the subjective portion of the legal examination, and a few more days of rest wouldn’t hurt.
Xia Qianyue, after all, had her own internship.
After spending half the day with Zhang Wei, she left reluctantly.
“Finally gone!”
But Xia Qianyue’s departure let Zhang Wei breathe a sigh of relief, now he was finally alone.
The ability he couldn’t use in front of others could finally be put to use.
The next day.
“Doctor, I want to be discharged!”
“What, you want to be discharged again?”
In the hospital ward, the attending doctor looked at the lively Zhang Wei and was once again shocked.
He remembered clearly that it was this very guy who had been discharged early last time, and unexpectedly, today he was…
In the end, after a series of tests, the doctor had no choice but to agree to Zhang Wei’s discharge.
After being discharged, Zhang Wei hailed a taxi and headed straight for Lin Mansion.
There was no helping it; he hadn’t been home for days and was worried that there might be problems.
Although there was someone else at home, he knew all too well the kind of person Zhao Xiaoxiao was; she certainly didn’t make a good roommate.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhang Wei returned to Lin Mansion, he saw the kitchen floor littered with stacks of takeout containers.
It seemed that in the days he hadn’t been there, the girl had resorted to takeout meals.
“Thump thump thump!”
Zhang Wei went upstairs and knocked on the door.
“Who is it!”, a sound of rustling clothes came from inside the door.
“It’s me, Zhang Wei!”
Hearing it was Zhang Wei, the noise inside stopped immediately, and Zhang Wei heard someone lying back down on the bed.
“Where have you been these past few days?
I haven’t seen you at all.”
“Me?
I did a good deed, got a bit hurt in the process, but it’s all in the past now.
I’m back to tell you to stop ordering so much takeout.
You should get out more.”
“Mind your own business!”
Hearing Zhang Wei’s lecture, Zhao Xiaoxiao inside the room immediately got angry.
“Fine, fine, I’m not your dad.
It’s up to you what you do anyway.
But no more takeout after I get back.
It’s not clean, and eating it too much isn’t good for you.”
“I got it, why are you nagging just like my dad!”
“Alright then, remember to come down for lunch!”
“Okay, got it!”
From inside, an impatient voice sounded again.
Zhang Wei shook his head with a sigh and eventually went downstairs to the nearby South Gate Street market to buy groceries.
After being discharged, he simply had to cook himself a meal as a treat, and this time, in a good mood, his cooking skills greatly improved, resulting in a table full of delicious dishes.
“Hmm, I can’t let my skills go to waste.
I’ll watch for the time tonight and bring some to Dr.
Jessica to try.
I wonder if she’s used to Dragon Country cuisine?”
Zhang Wei chuckled to himself, took out specially prepared takeaway boxes, and packed up a portion of the meal.
Then he called upstairs and indulged in a hearty meal all by himself.
“I’m heading out!
This food should be enough for your lunch, but I took some for myself.
In case you run out tonight, I’ve prepared some noodles for you; can you manage cooking a bowl for yourself?”
“I know, you’re so long-winded…”
Upstairs, Zhao Xiaoxiao’s impatient response came once again.
Zhang Wei was used to it by now.
After all, her father had already paid for her living expenses, so it was only right for him to take care of her, having taken the money.
With that thought, Zhang Wei left the house.
Next door, Zhao Mansion was still tightly shut, obviously Zhao, the blacksmith, was living outside.
Next to that, there was no sound of boxing from Zhang’s Martial Arts School, but as Zhang Wei passed by, he could faintly smell the aroma of food, indicating that it was mealtime inside.
“Judging by the scent, the cook’s got some skills, not as good as me, of course, but should be up to par for homestyle dishes!”
Zhang Wei judged the chef’s ability inside with a “professional chef’s” eye.
After that, he left East Gate Street and took the subway straight to the Inner Ring City Center.
United Financial Building, 41st floor.
Because of yesterday’s appointment, he had been scheduled for this afternoon.
However, when he arrived at Dr.
Jessica’s psychology clinic, he actually saw many male patients.
They were all dressed in suits and ties, looking anxious, and they kept glancing at the office door from time to time.
Whenever the assistant called out their names, these men would immediately put on a smile, their expressions becoming overly excited.
Their eyes betrayed their true intentions.
These people are truly despicable, acting as if they’ve come for treatment, but clearly, they’re lusting after Dr.
Jessica’s body!
Zhang Wei inwardly despised these men, each and everyone claiming to be a business elite, yet all acting like this, it was disgraceful.
Several hours passed by in waiting, and in the blink of an eye, it was already 5 p.m.
The receptionist, Cui Xi, glanced at the schedule and called out, “Mr.
Zhang Wei, it’s your turn!”

“Oh, coming, coming~”
Zhang Wei’s expression became exceedingly excited, barely containing his anticipation as he darted into the office.
The room was as spacious and bright as always.
Dr.
Jessica was reclining by the desk near the window, her blonde hair cascading over her shoulders, revealing her flawless figure set against the backdrop of the setting sun, resembling the goddess Venus reborn, captivating to anyone who spared even a glance.
Still in the tight white blouse and black pencil skirt paired with black stockings and high heels, although it was a uniform professional outfit, on Dr.
Jessica it became an irresistibly suggestive uniform temptation.
Zhang Wei felt that he could never tire of seeing her, such was the charm of a woman with a good figure.
Dr.
Jessica was perusing a book, wearing a pair of thick black-framed glasses, which added an intellectual beauty to her.
“Zhang Wei, you’re here again?”
Seeing Zhang Wei, Dr.
Jessica appeared slightly surprised, a smile gracing her face.
“I had no choice; the dangers I’ve faced these past few days were such that I had to seek your psychological comfort.”
While saying this, Zhang Wei set down the food container he was holding and asked, “Doctor, I’ve made some food, do you have a kitchen or a microwave here?
Would you like to try my cooking?”
“You cook?” Dr.
Jessica was very surprised, the young man Zhang Wei actually knew how to cook.
“I had no choice, I got used to living on my own from a young age.
To take care of myself, I had to pick up a few skills.”
“Then, I am honored.
As it happens, I do have a kitchen here, come with me!”
Dr.
Jessica seemed quite pleased and was about to stand up, but then seemed to remember something, quickly walked to the desk, and picked up the phone.
“Cui Xi, did you cancel those dinner invitations?”
“Miss, I’ve taken care of them as usual.”
“Mmm, okay.”
After hanging up the phone, Dr.
Jessica then led Zhang Wei to the adjoining kitchen.
Zhang Wei silently mourned for his fellow men who had extended those invitations; clearly, Dr.
Jessica received many dinner invitations every day, enough that she refused them all.
Sometimes, to win over a woman, it’s better to cook a meal for them than to invite them to a restaurant— the effect is quite different.
For dinner, Zhang Wei prepared three dishes: stir-fried pork, Kung Pao chicken, and Yu Xiang pork strips— a balance of meat and vegetables.
After heating up the food, he and Dr.
Jessica sat at the kitchen dining table and began to eat.
To Zhang Wei’s slight surprise, Dr.
Jessica was very adept with chopsticks; even the kitchen was specially equipped with these utensils.
“My clients are all from Dragon Country, and having lived here for many years, some of my habits have changed.”
Perhaps noticing Zhang Wei’s puzzled look, Dr.
Jessica explained with a smile.
As she spoke, she conveyed a piece of stir-fried pork to her mouth, her luscious red lips closing gently, delicately chewing.
Zhang Wei instinctively swallowed, hastily stuffing a mouthful of pork strips into his own mouth.
“Mmm~ very delicious.
Zhang Wei, you’re a good cook,” Dr.
Jessica praised his cooking highly.
Perhaps she was used to the high-end restaurants in the city center, and suddenly tasting homemade food offered her a refreshing change of pace.
Hearing the compliment, Zhang Wei modestly replied, “Thank you for the compliment, but these are just simple homemade dishes.
I can’t cook anything gourmet.”
“Don’t say that, you’re a very good cook.
If you get married in the future, I might be quite envious of your other half.”
“No need for envy, you could try it yourself…”
“…”
Caught off guard by Zhang Wei’s flirtation, Dr.
Jessica’s hand paused with her chopsticks, but then she quickly smiled broadly, “Sure, I just don’t know how I would become your girlfriend, hmm?”
Holy moly, that direct!
Zhang Wei: “???”
He was dumbfounded; he hadn’t expected such a move from the beauty before him.
“Giggle, I’m just kidding, don’t take it seriously~” Dr.
Jessica laughed again, her words lightening the mood.
Zhang Wei breathed a sigh of relief, but he felt a tinge of disappointment in his heart.
He thought to himself that it actually wouldn’t be so bad if it were true.
It’s not that I’m lusting after your body; just thinking, if I were your boyfriend, I wouldn’t need to pay for consultations in the future, what a good deal that would be for free…
