Thinking of those past events, Lin Yuan was a little stunned.
When he came back to his senses again, Gu Yan on the opposite side was stirring the coffee with a silver spoon, while Yan Suizhi took another sip of honey milk, his eyes fell on him, gentle and calm.
They should still have a lot of questions to ask. After all, the content of the conversation just now was unknowingly biased towards Lin Yuan, and for them, there are still many things that are still hidden in the clouds and unclear.
But none of them meant to urge.
It was as if they were simply here to accompany Lin Yuan to have a breakfast and to accompany him to recall an old friend.
Lin Yuan suddenly felt that the previous communication had become blurred.
These are two good men with a gentle heart, who fit all his definitions of "friends".
That's enough, nothing else matters.
"It's too far, I'm a little distracted." Lin Yuan said apologetically.
"It's okay." Yan Suizhi smiled: "I don't think recalling these people and things is taking up time, is it Teacher Gu?"
Lin Yuan was a little confused: "No, wait, who is the teacher? You are not... what... the dean?"
When he mentioned the word "Dean", he lowered his voice subconsciously, and hummed very vaguely. After he finished speaking, he realized that there were no miscellaneous people around, so he didn't need to be so careful.
Yan Suizhi had said this before, but Lin Yuan thought it was because he was not sure of his identity and knowledge, so he was careful not to reveal the name.
Now, it doesn't seem like that at all.
"I am." Yan Suizhi drank the milk slowly and said, "But some people used to pull their faces when they were students, and they might want to rebel. After all, I'm very open-minded, and I don't mind letting him have fun. "
"… "
Who's going to rebel
Gu Yan glanced at him helplessly.
But thinking about it for a while, this is true in a sense.
So Lawyer Gu moved his lips, but in the end he didn't refute, he raised his eyebrows and calmly raised his coffee cup.
Dr. Lin said in his heart that it was just a joke after a long time of trouble. I really don't understand teachers and students like you at all.
"Okay." Lin Yuan asked again, "I know you have more to ask, what to say."
"You said before that helping me with genetic modification was entrusted by an elder?" Yan Suizhi asked, "I'm curious about who your elder is, why did he save me, and where did he learn that I might Will it be dangerous?"
"He said it was because he heard a communication, and he was reluctant to say more specifically, because he would really mess me up if he talked too much. By the way, he is Jacques' adoptive father." Lin Yuan explained subconsciously.
After he finished speaking, he realized that the two opposite people were not familiar with the name "Jacques". "Last time you said that I was a little impressed. The curly doctor in the same office as me was originally going to give you a genetic test."
"Oh, Dr. Curly Hair?" Yan Suizhi and Gu Yan both nodded, indicating that they remembered.
"Yes, his adoptive father."
This is strange, Yan Suizhi doesn't know the curly doctor at all, and all his impressions of him are just casual glances passing by. Who is his adoptive father? Is the pole fork a little far
"You shouldn't know him." Lin Yuan said, "He said that when he asked me for help. You don't know him."
Yan Suizhi felt even more strange: "I don't know him? Why did he save me if he didn't know him, but also because of the case he took over before?"
"No." Lin Yuan shook his head and said, "He said he wanted to repay the debt, but I don't know the specifics."
"Repaying the debt?" Yan Suizhi found that Lin Yuan didn't know much better than them, and was a little dumbfounded. "You didn't ask clearly at the time, so you came to the muddy waters? What if you were deceived."
"That won't happen." Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Uncle Braid... Oh, although that elder is a joker and is quite uninhibited, he is very reliable at critical moments. I have known him since I was very young. Well, at that time, I had an accident because of my playfulness. I lived in the hospital for two months. I happened to be in the same ward with him as Jacques, which is what you call Curly Hair. When he came to accompany Curly Hair, he would always play along with him. I've gotten to know me right away. If it wasn't really a good thing, I should have been kidnapped and sold at that time."
"He taught me a lot of things. Before I went to college, I learned simple wound treatment, first aid bandaging, etc. from him. After I went to college, I would ask him if I didn't understand some majors. Count me as half a teacher."
It could be seen that Lin Yuan respected that elder very much.
Will teach professional stuff...
"Also a doctor?" Gu Yan asked.
Lin Yuan said, "Yes, it used to be."
"Why do you say it used to be?"
"Later, I quit my job because of a medical accident." Lin Yuan said, and added, "This is the only topic he doesn't like to bring up, so I don't know much. It seems that the success rate of the operation is not high, and the patient has passed away. I later thought that it was probably a genetic surgery. At that time, the success rate of this kind of surgery was very low. But I think this kind of thing has little to do with him. After all, he is not the doctor in charge of the surgery. He squatted every day. In the research lab, even medical malpractice can't be linked to him..."
After he muttered, he looked up, but found that Yan Suizhi's eyes fell on a certain point in the void, as if he was thinking about something. He seemed to have a change in his mood, at least not as relaxed and gentle as before, because his eyebrows were wrinkled.
"What's wrong?" Lin Yuan shook his hand in front of him.
"Huh?" Yan Suizhi came back to his senses, his frowning brows still remained firm: "When did he resign?"
Lin Yuan thought for a while, "It's been a long time, I can't remember the exact year, maybe twenty-five or six years ago?"
Yan Suizhi was silent for a while.
It's hard to tell what he's thinking just from his face, which makes people feel a little uneasy.
Lin Yuan hesitated and was about to ask a few questions when he caught a glimpse of Gu Yan holding Yan Suizhi's hand on the table.
Um…
Is the teacher-student relationship so good
Lin Yuan's open mouth closed again.
He heard Gu Yan ask in a low voice, "What?"
The expression on Yan Suizhi's face softened, and it could be seen that he didn't intend to say anything at first, but after being asked by Gu Yan, he still replied: "I think of my parents, they also had some problems with the operation."
He said, patted the back of Gu Yan's hand in relief, and his eyes fell on Lin Yuan again, saying, "Maybe I think too much, but the timing is indeed a coincidence."
But... Combined with the reason that the elder said to save him - to pay off the debt.
Are there more coincidences
Yan Suizhi asked, "Do you have the contact information of the elder? Help me dial a message. I want to talk to him."
Lin Yuan dug out the one marked "Uncle Braid" in the address book, but unfortunately, no one answered the call four or five times in succession.
"I'll try it in a while, maybe I'm busy now." Lin Yuan said.
"So, is there a picture of him?"
Lin Yuan: "You wait."
He didn't dare to think about the relationship between medical malpractice and Yan Suizhi's parents, because he was worried that the respected elder really had something to do with Yan Suizhi's parents' surgery. Lin Yuan turned on his smartphone and searched with great concentration. On the one hand, he hoped that he could find something to divert Yan Suizhi's attention, and on the other hand, he hoped that he could help the other party a little more.
However, there is something in this world called Murphy's Law.
He was worried that he couldn't find the photo, so he really didn't.
I searched all the corners of the smartphone, but I was stunned that there was no one.
"It's really not there, and it's true... I've known him for so many years, but I haven't even taken a group photo. I even checked his social platform, and it's empty for thousands of years without a single state, let alone a photo. ."
Yan Suizhi reminded: "What about curly hair? Does he have it?"
Lin Yuan's smile became even more embarrassing, "This... It's not easy to ask."
"how?"
"When I was a child, Curly had a very good relationship with his adoptive father, and he was very close. But when Curly graduated from college, they somehow broke down. Later, Curly's biological parents came to him to restore contact, which made it even more difficult. Embarrassing. In short, the two of them are in a state of almost severed relationship now. Uncle Braid in front of Curly Hair and Curly Hair in front of Uncle Braid... I can't say which one is more courteous. Otherwise, Uncle Braid would not choose to ask me for help. You have done genetic modification, so you must first look for curly hair, do you think so?"
He explained it, and then showed some shame: "I'm really sorry for that, but I'm basically an outsider in this matter other than doing genetic modification for you. It would be nice if I could give you more information. now…”
Lin Yuan struggled for a while, and finally called up the information interface and dialed a communication for Curly Hair.
The expression waiting to be connected is like entering a hearse.
Fortunately, the other party did not let him lie in the hearse for too long.
"Hello? Jacques?"
"Ah yes, no, I'm not busy, so don't rush back. Are you still in the central hospital recently? How is the old man?"
"Oh, that's alright, don't worry. What... ask you something."
"Do you have a picture of Uncle Braid, send me one? I can't get through to his communication-"
As soon as he finished speaking, he put on a face with a blown hearse and took off his ear buckle, "He just hung up the communication..."
But Yan Suizhi grabbed another word: "Wait, did you say the central hospital? You mean the district central hospital? Where is the curly hair?"
Lin Yuan nodded, a little dazed at his focus: "Yeah, did I tell you last time? Someone in his family died because of an accident in a small workshop, er, it was his biological family. Then his maternal grandparents He was too sad and went to the hospital, but he didn't seem to be willing to transfer to Chun Ivy, so it's normal for him to be a little worried and hang up the communication, but the photos may not be available."
Yan Suizhi glanced at Gu Yan again, their eyes met, and they remembered the same thing.
The blue-eyed doctor I met at the bar at the time also went to the District Central Hospital.
But... In his impression, Doctor Curly's eyes seem to be light brown, or golden brown? It's not blue anyway.
Just as he was trying to recall these things, Lin Yuan's smartphone shook.
"The sun came out from the west, and he actually sent me the photo!" Lin Yuan looked at the new message with surprise.
After being stupid for two seconds, he simply turned the screen over and stretched it out in front of Yan Suizhi and Gu Yan, "Hey—Uncle Braid looks like this, where have you seen it before?"
Yan Suizhi looked at the screen silently for a moment, then said dryly, "It looks familiar."
"Really?" Lin Yuan was surprised.
Gu Yan also looked at him, "Familiar?"
Yan Suizhi nodded, his tone unwavering, "It's a coincidence, he looks exactly like my landlord."
Gu Yan: "..."
Lin Yuan: "…"
