Chapter 766 -765: Just in Case

Regarding the sudden brain death of the deep coma patient, Yan Feifan did exactly as he had told Li Yun he would: he stayed completely out of the investigation and pretended he knew nothing about it.

The main reason was that he was just too busy.

On Thursday, two brain tumor puncture and injection surgeries.

On Friday, another phalloplasty.

On Saturday, the eighth experimental infrasonic resonance stimulation treatment for deep coma patients number three and six, and the third ultrasonic oscillation therapy for deep coma patients number two and five.

On Sunday, the first workday after the end of the National Day holiday, Yan Feifan flew to Jingcheng early in the morning again and completed three puncture and injection surgeries at Baining Hospital.

Let’s just say that every single day, Yan Feifan was either performing surgery or preparing for it.

In his scattered moments of free time, Yan Feifan mostly read books, kept up with the latest medical papers, and pursued other forms of study.

Of course, he also dedicated some of his time to exercising and to recreational activities that helped him regulate his mind and body.

After all, his body had already sounded several serious alarms.

Yan Feifan, in the prime of his life, was still very much afraid of dying. He didn’t want to be mourned and remembered by the world for an early death.

On Sunday, shortly after six-thirty in the evening, Yan Feifan had a smooth trip back from Binhai International Airport to his residence at Zuimo Court, arriving nearly an hour earlier than usual.

As soon as he got home, Tian Yu, who had come over for dinner, trotted up to greet him.

“Mr. Yan…”

After calling out to him, Tian Yu’s lip quivered, and an extremely wronged expression appeared on her face. The rims of her eyes began to turn red, and it looked like tears were about to stream down.

This was the first time Yan Feifan had ever seen her like this.

In the past, even when Mrs. Tian gave her a sound beating, she would just cry loudly with teary eyes for a bit. He had never seen her look so wronged and heartbroken.

“Xiaoyu, what’s wrong? Did someone bully you?”

Yan Feifan asked with concern, then looked questioningly at Yu Suye, who had followed her over.

Yu Suye suppressed a smile and said, “She got criticized by her teacher at school and was made to stand as punishment.”

She chuckled and added, “Feifan, Xiaoyu is still closer to you. When she told me about it, she acted like it was no big deal.”

“But the moment she saw you, she couldn’t hide her grievances anymore and let it all out.”

Yan Feifan reached out and patted the head of the silent, head-bowed Xiaoyu. “Xiaoyu, let me change my clothes and wash up. You can tell me all about what happened while we eat, okay?”

Tian Yu nodded in agreement.

A few minutes later, Yan Feifan, Yu Suye, and Duan Yu were sitting around the dining table, listening to Xiaoyu recount her tale of woe.

“During geography class this afternoon, Mr. Yin was teaching us, and as soon as he opened his mouth, his accent was a little weird…”

Tian Yu recalled, “He couldn’t pronounce his consonants properly, and he dragged out his vowels. It sounded like a foreigner trying to speak Chinese.”

“I thought he was doing it on purpose, so I couldn’t help but laugh out loud.”

“But who would have thought…”

Tian Yu said indignantly, “Mr. Yin suddenly flew into a rage, made me stand up, and asked me why I was laughing.”

“So I told him the truth—that his funny voice made me want to laugh.”

“He said I was mocking him and being disrespectful, so he made me go stand at the front of the classroom.”

Tian Yu said pitifully, “It’s been so long since school started, and I’m the first person in my class to be criticized by a teacher. I was even made to stand there in front of everyone.”

“I’m the Youth League branch secretary for our class. How am I supposed to command any respect after this?”

“Mr. Yan, Su Ye, Miss. Yu, I feel so, so humiliated, WAHHH…”

As she spoke, Tian Yu burst into tears.

Yu Suye quickly comforted her, “Xiaoyu, don’t cry, don’t cry. Your teacher went too far.”

“How can he speak in such a bizarre way and not let others laugh? And punishing you like that so arbitrarily.”

“Xiaoyu, after dinner, I’ll go to the school with you. We’ll find the school leadership and demand an explanation for you.”

Yan Feifan quickly stopped her. “Su Ye, don’t add fuel to the fire. Are you trying to blow this out of proportion?”

He looked at Tian Yu and asked, “Xiaoyu, are you sure this Mr. Yin of yours didn’t used to talk like this?”

Tian Yu wiped the corners of her eyes and nodded. “Mr. Yin’s Mandarin was perfect in class before. I don’t know why, but his accent suddenly changed today.”

She added resentfully, “Mr. Yan, I wasn’t the only one who laughed. Several other students laughed too, but the teacher singled me out.”

Yan Feifan bluntly exposed her, “You were definitely the one laughing the loudest. I know you!”

“Mr. Yan…” Tian Yu’s mouth formed a huge pout.

Yan Feifan said thoughtfully, “To be able to teach at Bin University High School, the teachers have to be of a certain caliber.”

“For this Mr. Yin to make you stand for something so minor, it seems like an overreaction to me. It feels like he flew into a rage out of embarrassment.”

“He probably knows his accent has changed but can’t fix it, so he’s very sensitive to how others react.”

He then asked, “Xiaoyu, did he speak with that strange accent for the entire class?”

Tian Yu grunted in affirmation. “He spoke like that for the whole class. After he made an example of me, none of the other students dared to laugh.”

Yan Feifan asked again, “Did Mr. Yin explain why his accent changed?”

Tian Yu shook her little head. “He didn’t!”

Yan Feifan let out an “Oh,” and said, “The sudden change in your Mr. Yin’s accent might be involuntary. He might have Foreign Accent Syndrome.”

“Mr. Yan, what’s Foreign Accent Syndrome?” Tian Yu asked, her face full of curiosity.

Yu Suye said thoughtfully, “Feifan, now that you mention it, I do have some recollection of Foreign Accent Syndrome. It’s related to a brain lesion, isn’t it?”

Yan Feifan hummed in agreement and began to explain. “Foreign Accent Syndrome is a clinically rare condition.”

“The condition is caused by a stroke, head trauma, or other factors that affect the brain’s speech control center. This, in turn, affects control over the lips, tongue, vocal cords, and breathing, causing the patient’s accent to become distorted.”

He said with a grave expression, “The distorted and abnormal accent is just a symptom. The root cause is a brain injury.”

“Xiaoyu, when you go back to school, find Mr. Yin and ask him if he knows the reason for his abnormal accent.”

“If he doesn’t, tell him to go to the hospital for a detailed brain examination as soon as possible.”

With a look of sudden realization, Tian Yu said, “So the teacher’s weird way of talking is because his brain is sick.”

“If that’s the case, then I’ll be the bigger person and forgive him.”

Yan Feifan rolled his eyes. “Xiaoyu, it’s just a guess. Maybe your teacher is having an allergic reaction that’s making his tongue swell, or he has a lesion on his vocal cords or in his throat, or maybe he just bit his tongue. All of those are possible.”

“Besides…”

Yan Feifan chided, “You were laughing loudly during class. You were in the wrong to begin with. The teacher was right to criticize you.”

Tian Yu snorted defiantly, ignored Yan Feifan, and buried her head in her food.

Yu Suye couldn’t help but smile.

She placed a piece of food on Tian Yu’s plate with her chopsticks and reminded her, “Xiaoyu, when you talk to your teacher about this, try to be tactful.”

Tian Yu said casually, “Mr. Yan’s reputation is already well-known. I just have to tell the teacher that this is my Mr. Yan’s diagnosis, and he’ll obediently go to the hospital for a check-up for sure.”

“It’s just a guess!”

Yan Feifan corrected her again. “Xiaoyu, be more precise with your words. This is just my analysis based on the available information.”

“Let’s put it this way: I’m operating under the principle of ‘better safe than sorry,’ just in case. I’m leaning toward the more serious possibility.”

“Most likely, it’s just a false alarm. Xiaoyu, don’t you go deliberately scaring your teacher.”

Tian Yu giggled. “I know, I know. I’ll be tactful with my teacher.”

“The thing is, Mr. Yan, aren’t you always one hundred percent right? You’ve never been wrong, have you?”

Yan Feifan chuckled. “That’s just been a lucky streak. What doctor can go on forever without making a single mistake?”

“To be honest, I really hope my analysis is wrong this time…”
