A breath away, an accident happened right before their eyes.

Lin Jie hurriedly stopped the car, instructed Lin Miao not to move, and got out with an umbrella.

At this moment, the motorcyclist also got up from the ground, removed his helmet, and shouted at the woman with the umbrella, "If you damn well want to die, just stand on the big road, don't drag others down here!"

The motorcyclist then turned to glare at Lin Jie, shouting angrily, "Lin Jie, in this situation, you should have turned on your hazard warning lights, don't you know?"

The motorcyclist was a young man in his mid-twenties, with dyed red hair and a large earring on his ear.

Lin Jie recognized him; it was Qin Lang from Building 11, who worked as a bartender in a bar. They only had a nodding acquaintance.

Lin Jie ignored his accusation and asked, "How do you feel? Is there any severe pain in your body?"

Qin Lang moved his body slightly and shook his head, "Not dead yet. What exactly is going on with this Chen Liang's wife, Cai Qi?"

Chen Liang's wife, Cai Qi?

Lin Jie was taken aback and turned to look!

Upon closer inspection, although the woman's hair was completely wet and her face was covered in dirty water, she still looked slightly familiar.

After Qin Lang's reminder, it indeed turned out to be Cai Qi, the wife Chen Liang married a few days ago. Lin Jie had met her a few times, so he had some impression.

By this time, Cai Qi had stopped screaming, also got up from the ground, looked at Lin Jie and Qin Lang, and said somewhat bewilderedly, "Lin Jie, Qin Lang, it's you two!"

"How did I end up here? I should be in bed sleeping, right?"

"What exactly happened?"

These questions made Lin Jie's heart sink. Could she have a concussion and be suffering from some memory loss?

He hurried forward to check her injuries.

He found that other than some abrasions on Cai Qi's left leg and right arm, her body had no other major injuries, nor were there any fractures or internal organ injuries, and there were no head impact marks.

Lin Jie asked a few more questions and checked Cai Qi's cognition, finding no signs of confusion.

Cai Qi insisted that her last memory was going to bed, and her next moment of awakening was being soaked and lying in the rain, like a nightmare.

Lin Jie thought for a moment and asked, "Have you ever had any sleepwalking experiences before?"

"Ah, sleepwalking? I've never sleepwalked!" Cai Qi insisted!

"Sleepwalking?"

Qin Lang glanced at Lin Jie with disdain and said, "Lin Jie, don't talk nonsense if you lack knowledge. This is definitely not sleepwalking; waking a sleepwalking person can scare them to death!"

"If she was sleepwalking and was scared awake, she'd be dead right now."

"Let's take her to the clinic to get checked and bandaged first!"

Lin Jie opened his mouth but held back, knowing it's not easy to persuade someone stubborn and biased against you.

But in his heart, he had already determined that Cai Qi was exhibiting sleepwalking symptoms.

Sleepwalking is a phenomenon of getting out of bed and moving while asleep and then returning to bed to continue sleeping.

It's a sleep disorder, and most patients move within their own home.

But some patients may leave their home or engage in dangerous actions like climbing out windows, driving cars, or even violent acts, including murder!

The incidence rate of sleepwalking is about 1-6%, and its causes are not fully diagnosed in the medical field. It is generally believed to be related to family inheritance and psychological stress, usually associated with mental illnesses like depression, anxiety, and OCD.

Because sleepwalkers have their eyes open and can answer simple questions during sleepwalking, their behavior doesn't significantly differ from ordinary people, often leading others to mistakenly believe they are awake.

However, sleepwalkers themselves do not remember getting out of bed or anything they did after waking up.

As for the widespread rumor that waking a sleepwalker will scare them to death, it's a serious misconception.

On the contrary, waking a sleepwalker promptly at the onset of sleepwalking can be an effective measure and treatment method.

Lin Jie first made a small detour to send Lin Miao home, then used the car to take Qin Lang and Cai Qi to the community clinic not far from their neighborhood.

Soon, Chen Liang, who received the news, hurried over.

Seeing his wife was already bandaged and her body had no major issues, Chen Liang breathed a sigh of relief and, with displeasure, complained, "Qiqi, weren't you in bed sleeping? How did you suddenly end up outside?"

"Do you know, I was just playing a game online with some friends!"

"Now look, I had to leave them to come check on you."

This left Lin Jie speechless.

They've only been married a few days, hasn't he? How could he value a game over his wife? And he didn't even bring a piece of clothing when he came, despite Lin Jie clearly telling him over the phone that his wife was soaking wet.

Lin Jie saw his wife, Cai Qi, with a darkened face, turning her head away, unwilling to look at him directly.

"Chen Liang, that's going too far!"

Qin Lang was a bit angry, pointing at Chen Liang's nose and scolding, "What damn game is more important than your wife? Your wife said she has no idea why she ended up on the street and has been confused ever since."

"This is a big problem; you should take your wife for a check-up at a big hospital! Lin Jie even mentioned that your wife was sleepwalking, which is truly laughable!"

"Sleepwalking?"

Chen Liang was stunned, then realized and said, "It might really be sleepwalking!"

"My in-laws secretly told me before that Qiqi had sleptwalked before and asked me to pay more attention at night. If Qiqi happens to get up and goes out after falling asleep at night, I should follow her to prevent any accidents."

Qin Lang was surprised, turned to Lin Jie, and said somewhat sheepishly, "You guessed right this time! Hey, isn't it true that a sleepwalker won't die if woken halfway?"

Lin Jie gave him a direct eye roll.

Cai Qi, being the involved party, was even more stunned, shouting, "How could I be a sleepwalker? My parents never mentioned this to me."

Chen Liang, a bit impatient, said, "That's something your parents have been keeping from you. They also warned me not to tell you back then."

"So I really am a sleepwalker!"

Cai Qi found it hard to accept for a moment, then suddenly turned angrily toward Chen Liang, "Since my parents told you, why didn't you keep an eye on me? How could you let me leave the house alone and wander on the street?"

Chen Liang touched his head, sheepishly saying, "We've been together for some time, and I've never seen you sleepwalk. I was careless!"

Cai Qi was instantly furious, completely infuriated, and shouted, "Careless, my ass! Let the game be your wife, I'm going home, back to my own house!"

It's night and still raining, but after much persuasion, the couple temporarily reconciled and went home together.

During the persuasion, Lin Jie also took the opportunity to share some sleepwalking therapies!

First is aversion therapy, waking the sleepwalker from the dream, breaking the sleepwalker's behavioral pattern, so this subconscious behavior doesn't reach its goal, and thus sleepwalking gradually fades away.

Second is emotional release therapy, relieving the deep-seated pressure in the patient's heart, which is crucial for treating sleepwalking.

Analyzing the current situation, Cai Qi's sleepwalking might be related to her dissatisfaction with Chen Liang's neglect due to his obsession with games.

However, seeing Chen Liang's lack of concern, Lin Jie knew his knowledge-sharing wouldn't have much impact.

After this ordeal, Lin Jie returned home almost at midnight, ate something, washed up, and quickly went to bed.

The next morning, while working out at the gym, Lin Jie received a call from An Kexin, saying the surgery team had been arranged.
