Just after Gao Fan left, Jing Shaoqing came running in with furrowed brows. From his expressions, it was clear that there was a serious matter which needed to be attended soon. "Brother, Boss is here but he is …" He spoke with some urgency and concern before pausing in the middle like he didn't know how he had to complete the words.
Jing Wei Jin looked at him with some lack of interest before asking, "What happened to him now? Isn't he already back?" Since Feng Shufen has already said that he would be sending him back, then he would never doubt his words. He was sure that by now the man must have already been resting in their base.
Seeing him act so coldly, Shaoqing's suppressed disappointment burst out like a volcano. Not just in age, his level of maturity was also young. He has a lot of stubbornness laced with arrogance, something about which Wei Jin could not help him but only let the time help him learn the things.
"Brother, how can you be this insensitive? Did you forget who Uncle Pan is for us? He has been the guardian who has looked after us when we were left alone in this world. Yet you are behaving worse than a stranger with him. Do you really have to be like this with him, especially when he is in such a pathetic state?"
He said and Jing Wei Jin just turned to look at him. He seemed unfazed with his words as if his such outburst was not something new to him. "Pathetic state? What happened to him?" He simply asked, his words held no emotions. It seemed he was just taking care of some formality that was his unsaid responsibility.
Seeing his brother still like that, Jing Shaoqing didn't know what else he could say to make him change his attitude. So at the moment, giving more importance to something that was a really important concern now, he said with a huffing sigh, "Come and take a look at him and you will know. We have called the doctor as well and he must be here soon". Then leading the way he left with Jing Wei Jin following behind.
After some time, in some well-lit room, on the bed laid an unconscious man that looked all weak and demented. Just a gaze on him could make anyone realize his state. The doctor sitting on his side was checking on him while few people were standing around, among whom Jing Wei Jin and Jing Shaoqing looked more familiar.
Checking on the man the doctor stood up to turn around. As he turned, Jing Shaoqing was the first one to come forward to ask, "What has happened to him? Why is he like that? Is it due to some drug?"
The doctor turned back to look at the man sleeping on the bed before reverting back to answer, "It's hard to say what has actually done to him. He has been tortured but the way of torture has not been physical to say. No drugs seemed to be injected into him but at the same time, a treatment worse than any drug is given to him that has caused him to almost go into such a state of insanity."
"What do you mean doctor?" Someone asked from the other side while Jing Wei Jin just patiently waited to hear all.
"Given to the complexion he is in right now, it's easy to tell that for a good number of days he was kept in the darkness. Extreme darkness! I think of that, although I am not too sure. The way he is still surviving such treatment, I would say the limits were maintained very strictly, in a way where it was made sure that he doesn't die or go completely insane."
The doctor replied according to his understanding of the situation. And his words only made people around furrow their brows. Jing Shaoqing turned to look at his brother who was still looking the same as if even hearing everything had not changed much in him.
"Doctor, have you given him the meds? Or should we refer to some other doctor?" Jing Wei Jin asked in the middle of everyone's silence. His brows were furrowed slightly but it was hard to tell what was his real feeling inside.
The doctor looked at him before adjusting his specs with some thought. "He has not yet gone insane so it's fine for me to treat him. I have given the meds to him and that will help him recover soon but until he recovers you all have to take care of him".
He said and Jing Wein Jin nodded at him before saying to others. "You all have heard it, right? Take care of him if you all want to see him fine." Then he left the room like he never belonged there.
The people were all shocked. Though they have heard about the crazy aloofness of the man, they have still not expected it to be like this. There seemed some kind of suppressed anger in him that he seemed to be carrying all by himself without revealing it to others.

While on the other side, Li Xue, WeiWei, and Feng Shufen were still in the car, on the way to reach Our Paradise. Gao Fan was driving but in every alternate second, his eyes were moving to look at the rear mirror to check on the people behind. The air was oddly silent, with no one speaking and it was kind of getting hard for him to drive in such an environment.
Little Li Wei was also feeling the same but she was also a little scared to voice herself out. But still finding the courage, she said fiddling with her fingers, "Mama, did you do something wrong again? Why does Daddy Angel look upset with you?"
