Chapter 530 - A Whole Family of Crazy (2/2)

“It’s hard to imagine a child would say such things. Things shouldn’t be that simple, right?”

“Yes, I had the same thought as you.” Doctor Pei leaned against the bedside, and his eyes were dark. “I didn’t think a boy could understand so many things, and perhaps someone told him to say these things. In this family of four, the father spent most of his time working outside, and the mother couldn’t have implicated herself, so the most possible candidate who could teach these things to Jiang Xiaohu was his sister, Jiang Bai.”

Chen Ge did not interrupt and allow Doctor Pei to finish.

“Then, I called Jiang Bai in to have a private talk with her; the result was unexpected as well.

“Jiang Bai told me that the real madman was her father—Jiang Long. After Jiang Long invested in the Ming Yang Residence project, she felt that her father had changed. He would often return late and do things that she could not understand. The way that he looked at his family had changed as well.

“One time, after Jiang Long got drunk, he got into an argument with the mother. Jiang Long, who had always been a gentle spirit, raised his hand to hit Zhang Chuyu and then ran into the kitchen to grab a knife.

“He waved it in the air and scolded at a spot where no one was standing. He was like a completely different person. After that, Jiang Long returned home even less. No one knew what he was up to. He even bought an apartment for himself in Eastern Jiujiang’s Li Wan City and moved out to live on his own.

“If that was all, Jiang Bai would not have thought that her father had gone mad, but something happened later that made Jiang Bai fearful of her father.

“It happened one month before they came to me for treatment. When Zhang Chuyu was pouring water for herself, Jiang Xiaohu accidentally ran into her, and they were both injured by the hot water. Jiang Bai sent both of them to the hospital. She called her father on the phone, but there was no answer. Then she ran to Jiang Long’s home in Eastern Jiujiang to see him in person.

“When Jiang Long heard that Zhang Chuyu and Jiang Xiaohu were injured, he grumbled a few words before saying that he was busy, so he wouldn’t be visiting them. Jiang Bai was angry when she heard that. She stayed at Jiang Long’s house and would not leave until her father agreed to come with her to the hospital. That night, Jiang Long received a call and left in a hurry, leaving Jiang Bai alone at his place.

“After midnight, Jiang Bai heard movement inside the house. She thought that it was mice. She followed the sound and found a secret room behind the closet. Entering the place, she saw a steel cage, and there was a large doll trapped inside the cage!

“There appeared to be someone sewn into the doll. The person couldn’t speak, and the body was weak. When the person heard the door open, they started to curl up in the corner due to primal fear.

“Jiang Bai did not go in. She was spooked. She closed the closet and ran back to the hospital that night. She told her discovery to Zhang Chuyu and Jiang Xiaohu.

“Jiang Xiaohu was too young to understand anything, but Zhang Chuyu’s reaction was weird. When she heard there was a large doll trapped inside a steel cage, she laughed happily.

“Based on Jiang Bai’s description, both her parents were mentally unstable, but here is the problem. Zhang Chuyu said that Jiang Bai suffered from paranoia, so everything that she saw was just her imagination.”

Doctor Pei finally finished the story. “In any case, that’s the situation with the family. The mother said that the brother and the sister are both crazy, the brother said the mother is crazy, and the sister said the mother and the father are crazy. I’m not afraid of you having a bad judgment of me, but even today, I cannot tell for sure who was really lying.”
