My whole family treats me like a dog, but this time I will never turn back!

The woman was lying on the ground. She picked up a cigarette butt that had been tidied up next to her, lit one, and smoked it. Then she stared blankly ahead.

When she raised her face, Ye Kai saw it clearly!

Although she is different from the strong and capable eldest daughter I remember, her features are exactly the same!

"How...how could this happen!"

Ye Kai felt terrified, utterly terrified.

In his memory, Ye Ruqing was the most capable, the best at studying, the most reliable in handling affairs, and the most insightful!

He never imagined that his once proud daughter would become a beggar instead of returning home!

What on earth is going on?

"Ruqing, what are you doing!"

Ye Kai rushed over anxiously and stood in front of Ye Ruqing!

He thought Ye Ruqing would be surprised to see him, but Ye Ruqing only glanced at him before looking in another direction!

Her eyes were empty and blank, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, as if Ye Kai were not a person, but a cat or a dog!

"Ruqing, it's me, Dad! Dad!"

Ye Kai grabbed Ye Ruqing's shoulders excitedly and shook her repeatedly: "What did you do? How did you become like this? Who hurt you? It was Ye Jianchen, it must be Ye Jianchen! He's the one who turned you into a beggar!"

He roared and cried at the same time, feeling as if his heart was being cut back and forth by a knife!

Although he knew Ye Ruqing wasn't his biological daughter, they had lived together since childhood, so how could he not have feelings for her?

However, Ye Ruqing remained like a puppet, giving him no response whatsoever!

Moreover, because Ye Kai shook it so hard, the dead cat in Ye Ruqing's arms fell down!

"Baby, baby!"

Ye Ruqing screamed like a madwoman, picked up the dead cat, and continued to hold it in her arms, stroking it with a look of heartache.

Ye Kai and Wang Ma were so frightened that they took a step back, their lips trembling, and neither of them could utter a single word!

Because they had just discovered that the dead cat Ye Ruqing was holding was already stinking, like a dried cat!

Their brains short-circuited; they found it hard to believe that this woman was really Ye Ruqing!

You should know that Ye Ruqing was perfectly normal just a month ago!

Just then, the rescue center's vehicle arrived, and several men in white coats jogged over.

It's her!

"He seems a bit mentally unstable!"

"Let's take him to the hospital first!"

They stared at Ye Ruqing, then tied her up with specially made straps!

A man who appeared to be the director looked at Ye Kai and Wang Ma and asked, "Do you know her?"

"I know her, she's my daughter!"

Ye Kai's eyes reddened, and he really didn't want to say those words, but the truth told him that this was his eldest daughter, Ye Ruqing!

"It's good that we know her. We're also planning to find her family so they can come with us to the hospital and see what's going on!"

The director nodded slightly and called Ye Kai and the others to leave together.

A few hours later, at the provincial capital hospital!

Ye Xu, Ye Ke'er and the others also came. After learning about Ye Ruqing's condition, they even invited the best doctors to examine her!

Ye Kai paced back and forth in the corridor, feeling anxious and filled with a deep sense of fear!

"Dad, how could this happen? We just had dinner together not long ago!"

"Dad, my eldest sister has always lived with you, why didn't you keep a close eye on her?"

"Where's Fan Junjie? He must have done something bad!"

Ye Xu looked at Ye Kai pacing back and forth and couldn't help but complain.

"I don't know, I really don't know!"

Ye Kai's mind was in turmoil.

Ye Ke'er and Jiang Tiannan sat on the chairs in the corridor, neither of them speaking. Ye Ke'er's hands were ice-cold, and her lips were pale with fright!

She didn't know what had happened, but all four of them—Ye Ruqing and Ye Wanrou—had already suffered. Ye Yuxuan seemed to have disowned them and left the place!

Now, she's all alone!

She felt lonely and lost!

At this moment, the doctor came out of the room and looked at Ye Xu, saying, "Mr. Ye, the patient's test results are in. She is very weak, has parasites in her body, and her stomach, liver, and other organs are damaged. Most importantly, I suspect she has acute stress disorder!"

"What's the meaning!"

Ye Xu frowned slightly.

"The term 'Dati' means a mental disorder caused by a severe shock, which is essentially a mental illness!"

The doctor said, "This condition usually improves within a month or several months. If it doesn't improve, it can develop into PTSD, or post-traumatic stress disorder, which requires psychotherapy and medication!"

After hearing the doctor's diagnosis, the entire corridor fell silent!

Ye Kai, Ye Ke'er, and Ye Xu all stared at the doctor in shock!

They never imagined that Ye Ruqing would go insane!

"Okay, I understand. No matter what, we must help her recover!"

Ye Xu took a deep breath. His feelings were complicated. Although he and Ye Ruqing were competitors, Ye Ruqing had been with him for more than ten years. It was very strange that this perfectly normal person had suddenly gone crazy!

"Can we see her?"

Ye Kai asked excitedly.

The doctor thought for a moment and said, "The patient's emotions are not very stable yet, so I don't think it's very suitable. Of course, it's still okay to look at him through the window!"

Then the nurse led Ye Kai and the others to the window!

Looking through the window, one could see Ye Ruqing tied to the bed. At first, she resisted fiercely, but later she twisted her body like a fish, constantly shouting "Baby!"

She was very thin, with sunken eyes, and looked much older than her age, like she was in her fifties. She was quite frightening!

"Woo!"

Upon seeing Ye Ruqing's appearance, Ye Ke'er instinctively touched her mouth, tears streaming down her face.

Her heart ached terribly; she didn't want to admit that the crazy woman in the ward was the beautiful, capable, and competent older sister she remembered!

"Ruqing!"

Ye Kai was also heartbroken, so much so that he almost fainted!

"We will begin treatment today, and we hope that the patient's condition will improve after several courses of treatment!"

The doctor said from the side, "Then you will be able to get close to her. If you do it now, the biggest risk is that it will worsen the patient's condition!"

After saying that, he glanced at Ye Kai and the others, then left with the nurses!

"Why is this happening? Big sister, what triggered this?"

Ye Xu suddenly said coldly, "It's Ye Jianchen? It must be Ye Jianchen!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Ke'er was absolutely certain of Ye Xu's guess: "Ye Jianchen, how ruthless! What methods did he use to drive my eldest sister insane? He's so cruel, he's not human!"

Thinking of the meeting in Yanjing that day, Ye Xu sighed, "It's a pity. Even though I know it was him, he can hardly bear the punishment of the law. I will call Mom about this. Mom may be coming back to the South. She will not let Ye Jianchen off the hook!"

Ye Kai then interjected, "It might not be Ye Jianchen; it could be Fan Junjie. In any case, finding Fan Junjie will give us the answer!"

He paused, then looked at Ye Ke'er: "Ke'er, you and Tiannan go back and rest first. I'll stay here tonight!"
