"Hmm?" Jin Sichen sat up straight. "What is it? Tell me."
"Do you remember the time when Lin Fan jumped into the river?" Suddenly, there was a loud noise from John Woo's side, like it was raining and there was a howling wind.
"Remember, it was her only intense stress response." Jin Sichen certainly remembered it. Among Lin Fan's daily behaviors where she didn't care much about anything, jumping into the river was particularly eye-catching.
"The reason I was able to find out about this matter in the first place was that someone called the police when she jumped into the river. After the police arrived, the incident was recorded in the system." John Woo slammed the car door shut and rushed into the hotel. The noise finally disappeared.
"Is there something else hidden behind this matter?" Jin Sichen guessed something.
"I went to the police station again recently and questioned the officers who responded to the incident in detail. I discovered that things weren't as simple as they seemed." Wu Yusen quickly returned to his room. "It was evening when she jumped into the river, and only her mother was there. But it was also after get off work, so there were quite a few people on the street."
"As soon as she jumped in, her mother screamed for help. Several people who could swim jumped in to try to save her, but they couldn't get her out."
"Didn't they say she was rescued?" Jin Sichen remembered that this was written on the document.
Could it be that Lin Fan swam to shore on his own? That's impossible. A person who can swim wouldn't choose to end his life by jumping into a river.
"Listen to me." Wu Yusen wiped his hair with a dry towel and put his phone on the table with the speakerphone on. "The river where she jumped was just opening its sluice gates, and the current was quite strong. Several people went down and looked around but couldn't find her. Everyone panicked, thinking she'd been washed downstream."
"Someone on the shore had already called the police, and they eventually showed up, but it was no use. We eventually found a boat that was salvaging garbage on the river, and used bamboo poles to paddle and fish for the person, and even used a net to fish. We searched slowly downstream. But it had been so long, how could a normal person still be alive?"
Wu Yusen knew that insisting on searching for someone was simply hoping for an opportunity or a result: "Lin Fan's mother felt bad at the time and collapsed on the spot. It was the police who took her home. But when she arrived home, crying, she found Lin Fan at home, showered, and even dressed."
"Huh?" Jin Sichen was confused. "Lin Fan can't swim, right?"
Could it be that they were all wrong? Lin Fan can swim, and she jumped into the river just to vent her emotions?
"No, of course not!" When she first took Lin Fan to see the artificial sea, she told John Woo herself that she was a landlubber. "Lin Fan's mother thought she had seen a ghost. She knelt down and kowtowed to her, admitting her mistake and saying she would never nag her again."
This reaction must be because Lin's mother had said something before, which aroused Lin Fan's emotions and made her jump into the river in a moment of despair.
Later, Lin's mother did keep her promise. It was just that the temptation of 1 million was too great, so she gave in and lost control.
"The police were also stunned for a moment, but they quickly reacted. After they confirmed that Lin Fan was a real person, the younger one felt cheated and wanted to take him back, saying that they had made a false report." John Woo roughly wiped the place wet by the rain with a dry towel, picked up his phone and sat on the bed.
This is easy to understand. A group of people were busy worrying about her jumping into the river, thinking that she had died in the river, but in fact she was fine and stayed at home. Isn't this a joke?
"The older one was stopped. After all, it wasn't Lin Fan who called the police, and she really did jump into the river. She was also sick. Wouldn't it be better if she's fine? We can't really expect her to get hurt, right?"
"He asked Lin Fan why she was at home. Lin Fan said she didn't know. She woke up on the shore and didn't see anyone around. The urge in her heart disappeared, so she walked back home to take a shower."
"And this matter..." Jin Sichen felt it was nonsensical, "Was there a kind-hearted person who saved her?"
"Everyone thought so at the time. There was no way Lin Fan had climbed up on her own. She couldn't swim, after all. And she was so determined. She didn't struggle at all after entering the water, and then she disappeared." John Woo didn't think much of it either. "So they wrote in the police report that a kind-hearted person had rescued Lin Fan, and that was the end of the matter."
"It's not really true, is it?" Jin Sichen knew without hearing what he said next that there must be something behind the rescue.
"No. When I first heard about this, I thought someone was doing a good deed without leaving their name, but then I thought it didn't make sense logically." Wu Yusen slowly shook his head. "Even if this person did a good deed without leaving their name, if they pulled someone up and they were unconscious, shouldn't they provide first aid?"
It should be common sense to perform CPR and induce vomiting of water immediately after rescuing a drowning person. How could they just leave an unconscious person alone?
At the very least, you should have called 120, right? Saving half of the life was illogical.
And there was no one around watching, Lin Fan woke up by himself.
The fact that she woke up on her own proved that her condition wasn't serious enough to cause her to lose her breath. It also proved that the person who saved her didn't mistakenly believe she was dead and leave to avoid trouble.
In short, there was a big loophole here, so Wu Yusen went to look for surveillance footage. Fortunately, he found a video from a certain angle that proved that during that time, no one passed by on that road, and only Lin Fan walked from the river bank.
In other words, Lin Fan’s so-called savior does not exist at all!
"Then how did she..." Jin Sichen was halfway through his words when he realized something.
The familiar unconscious state!
If Lin Fan could transform into a mecha at that time, she wouldn't need anyone to save her.
Although everyone thinks that Lin Fan transformed in order to save others in the past, we can't rule out the possibility that she wouldn't transform in order to save herself, right?
Of course, this inference remains to be confirmed.
"That is to say, the mecha already existed when she jumped into the river!" Jin Sichen was basically certain.
"I'm not sure if it was there before I jumped into the river, but it should have been there when I climbed out of the river," said John Woo.
"Do you suspect that something happened to her in the river?" Jin Sichen understood immediately.
"I wasn't sure before, but now that you've mentioned something on her head, I feel pretty sure it's true," Wu Yusen grinned. "The skull is incredibly hard. It's impossible for ordinary things to penetrate it, let alone get stuck."
"From the angle you mentioned, either something fell from the sky and hit her head, or she just bumped into something headfirst. Any external force from other directions, other than a violent collision like a car accident, would only cause a bloody scratch at most, but wouldn't penetrate deeply into the bones."
"My investigation shows that she hasn't experienced a car accident of that magnitude. The chances of something falling from the sky hitting her head are also very small. In that case, she would have to go to the hospital, and there would be no way that there would be no residue."
"Then it could only be that when she jumped into the river, her big head rushed down and hit something, and the tiny part got stuck in the crack of her skull. Because it was too small, her scalp had no feeling after it healed." John Woo thought this inference was reasonable.
"So your conclusion is that something she encountered in the river happened to pierce her skull, causing her body to change, leading to her transformation?" Jin Sichen had a new question. "Even if what you said is correct, how can we verify it?"
The thing on Lin Fan’s head should be just a part of it.
Because a needle-like object couldn't float vertically in water, it just happened to penetrate Lin Fan's skull. Therefore, there must have been something else connected to the needle. It was simply the excessive impact, or some other factor, that caused the thinner part to break.
However, they didn't even know what they were looking for. They had no idea of its shape, size, or color, and they weren't even sure if it existed.
Even if it is confirmed that it still exists, more than a year has passed. Could it still be waiting there?
This is another speculation that is as good as nothing, but the difficulty is increasing exponentially.
"So you have to ask Lin Fan tomorrow how much she remembers about this incident." John Woo also knew that it was difficult, but at least it was a clear logical clue.
"It would be best if she has some memory of the incident, especially whether she hit her head while in the river. I remember the pain is not easy to forget." Wu Yusen seemed to hear Jin Sichen nodding across from him. "Confirm whether her head hit anything. If so, I will go and get it out. It's not difficult if I put in the effort."
Lin Fan received a new task and also got a new clue, but whether this clue is useful or not depends on the results of tomorrow's conversation.
Jin Sichen wasn't sure how much Lin Fan remembered about the river jumping incident. But as her most intense stress response, she definitely didn't feel good about it.
Jin Sichen has always avoided touching these things because recalling negative thoughts and memories is a very dangerous behavior for people with depression.
They will inevitably fall back into that mood, and the subsequent depression cannot be easily resolved overnight.
Jin Sichen sighed and needed to come up with a plan...
The next day was another beautiful sunny day.
Lin Fan was eating his nutritious meal in the activity room, feeling comfortable and leisurely.
If you ask who Lin Fan likes the most among the 623 members, it must be Miss Wu Yi.
The little girl not only has a festive and chubby face, but also a very cute smile, like a Fuwa (a lucky doll), making her very lovable. She is also very capable and straightforward. Who wouldn't like such a girl?
After she customized a nutritious diet for Lin Fan, Lin Fan no longer had to worry about what to eat every day.
Wu Yi was also incredibly capable. Not only did she hold a nutritionist certification, she was also well-versed in Traditional Chinese Medicine. While she couldn't prescribe, she incorporated the principles of TCM dietary supplements into Lin Fan's nutritious meals, significantly improving his condition.
For Lin Fan, who cannot take medication at this stage, daily food conditioning and physical exercise are the simplest ways to improve his physical condition.
After such a long time, whether it was the dietary supplements or the exercise that had taken effect, Lin Fan's body was no longer as weak as before.
I used to have cold hands and feet and sweats even in the hottest summer, but recently these problems have completely disappeared.
If anyone says that Lin Fan is weak now, she will definitely not agree.
Weak is still weak, but the emptiness is gone.
In short, compared to others, Wu Yihuo, who helped Lin Fan gain benefits, easily won her favor.
Of course, we can't forget Song Ren.
Lin Fan had been experiencing constant joint pain since his last transformation. Doctor Xiao suspected some bone contusion, which would require massage therapy.
Doctor Xiao was not good at this and was planning to report it to his superiors and find a specialized massage doctor. But Song Ren said he could...
Well, it’s not surprising that Captain Song, who is an expert in physical training, can do massage.
So Song Ren gave Lin Fan a bone-loosening massage every day.
Lin Fan began to feel uncomfortable with physical contact with him, but there was no other good solution at that time.
Have you thought it over?
Press it when you think it’s right!
Whoever presses it doesn’t press it.
Song Ren's technique and strength are still very professional.
Later, Lin Fan started doing some calisthenics again. He was so sore all over that he couldn't even squat down to sit on the toilet...
Song Ren gave her another massage...
To be honest, Song Ren is really an expert in life!
Lin Fan gradually got used to Song Ren's touch. So, when Song Ren pulled her, she didn't react in any special way.
But there was no clue what was wrong with Lin Fan’s joint pain.
Dr. Xiao suspected it might be nerve pain, but since he couldn't use medication, he could only relieve it through massage, hoping it would subside on its own.
Jin Sichen thought about it all night yesterday, made various plans, and finally came to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan was lying on the cushion and enjoying Song Ren's massage.
To be honest, Song Ren felt really comfortable when he gave a massage. If he were to open a business, he could easily support himself with this skill.
Jin Sichen walked over with a smile: "Lin Fan, is it convenient for us to chat?"
