Chapter 226: No Progress? Sue Lincheng Intermediate Court First
Old Tang was already thinking about being discharged, but his condition was special. The doctors at Lincheng City People's Hospital were happy, yet they still planned to conduct a few more days of evaluation.
Otherwise, if Tang Fangjing were to fall into a coma immediately after being discharged, the hospital would face a whole load of trouble.
The July rain comes as quickly as it talks. Just a moment ago the sky was clear, but in the blink of an eye there was a torrential downpour, and Old Tang, standing by the ward window, even saw hail pelting down outside!
Chi Yan was looking at her phone beside him. Actually, there wasn't much for her to do at the moment, but for various reasons, she didn't feel like going back to the law firm early.
It was then that Old Tang, standing by the window, suddenly spoke up:
"Xiao Yan, what do you think it would sound like if I went out now and got hit on the head by hail?"
What the heck? Chi Yan was a bit stunned when she heard this. What did he mean by that?
But to speak or not to speak, Brother Tang's mood seemed to have improved a lot since he woke up. At least now he often jokes with others, although the jokes are a bit cold...
So, even though Chi Yan didn't understand his words, she still replied, "What else could it sound like? Just 'thud thud,' what else could there be."
When a girl has someone on her mind, even if he tells a cold joke, she will still laugh.
So, a lot of times, bootlickers are actually just fooling themselves...
Chi Yan went along with Old Tang's lead, as this was the way to draw out the cold jokes he wanted to tell.
Old Tang, upon hearing her words, pointed at his own head and said, "It's not the same. Look here, I had a damaged piece of my skull, and I got it fixed with titanium alloy, so the hail hitting it would probably make a 'dong dong' sound like knocking on metal..."
Ah, this... Chi Yan looked at Old Tang. Although she was prepared, she was still rendered speechless by the joke.
Brother Tang, do you think you're funny?
Just at that moment, the door to the ward was pushed open, and Dr. Guo, wearing a white coat, walked in, his face filled with joy as he exclaimed, "Lawyer Tang, you've finally woken up, I've been waiting for this moment!"
The excitement and happiness were written all over his face.
Upon hearing this, Old Tang turned around and immediately smiled, "Director Guo, what brings you here?"
"You are my patient, how could I not come when you woke up." Dr. Guo spoke as he had Old Tang lie down and conducted another examination.
"You're recovering well, just that your cancer seems to have gotten a bit more serious than before. Lawyer Tang, I really think you shouldn't do this anymore, your abdominal cavity can't withstand another major surgery."
Old Tang nodded silently, just about to speak, when he saw another person behind Dr. Guo.
It was none other than Director Liu Binxin from Handong Province People's Hospital, an absolute authority in the field of mental illness!

The smiling Director Liu behind him said, "I had nothing much to do, so I came over with Dr. Guo to check on you. If you have time now, I could do an evaluation for you."
To tell the truth, after confirming the existence of the "Surveillance Repair" skill, Old Tang was certain that the system was real, with no questions whatsoever.
Such an ability to create something out of nothing had to be a manifestation of the system's power.
Otherwise, no matter what he did, he couldn't have produced footage that wasn't taken.
However, he had been wanting to consult about his own psychological issues, and had been meaning to go to the hospital but never found the time.
Chi Yan and Dr. Guo were asked to leave; some matters couldn't be known to them.
Sitting down, Director Liu Binxin started, "Lawyer Tang, that... what do you call it, the panel, you can still see it, right?"
Old Tang nodded, "I can still see it. Plus, there's something else; before I could hear the system's notification sound, but now the sound is gone, replaced by notifications on the panel."
At this, the smile on Director Liu's face became somewhat strained, but he still asked, "Anything else, Lawyer Tang? Any other changes?"
Old Tang shook his head, "There have been other big changes, but the system itself isn't important. What's important is something else, Director Liu, the system's influence seems to have made me particularly inclined towards the heavy punishment doctrine."
"That is to say, as long as I see those people being sentenced, I get very happy, and the heavier the sentence, the happier I am. Do you think there might be a problem with my mental state?"
Director Liu Binxin discreetly grabbed a tissue to wipe his sweat, not leaving a trace. After some time without seeing Old Tang, he felt like Tang's condition had gotten much worse!
The key was that the other party said he was being influenced by the system towards heavy punishment doctrine. Such words might seem insignificant to others, but Director Liu was a psychology expert!
The other party's words already hinted at one thing: he believed the system was real!
Before, it was a toss-up between reality and illusion, sometimes thinking the system was a hallucination. Now, however, he had come to believe the system was real, which undoubtedly meant his condition had worsened.
What should be done about this?
Director Liu Binxin had also seen the previous video of Old Tang and believed that the scenes Tang saw must have been different from reality. Otherwise, there was no reason for him to fight so hard at that time – when one's life is gone, everything is gone.
Before Director Liu could say anything, Tang Fangjing across from him continued, "Director Liu, I personally think it must be because of the too powerful rewards given by the system."
Hearing this, Director Liu Binxin reflexively asked, "Oh? That... that system of yours, it gives you rewards too?"
"Of course, it does." Old Tang said matter-of-factly, "Look at me, I encounter danger but can't die – that must be because of the rewards from the system, otherwise, tell me how many times I've been injured."
