Then, Lu Yuan asked Jian Yiling out of curiosity: “By the way, aren’t you curious about Lahaisen Hospital as well? When you were studying abroad, did any of your fellow classmates talk about the hospital? Is it just as famous over there?”

“Hmm, perhaps. I’m not really sure,” Jian Yiling replied. Her voice was rather quiet.

Nowadays, she was a little better at small talk with strangers. She would no longer stumble over her own words. However, when she had to speak with them, she still felt a little uncomfortable.

When Jian Yiling was overseas, she hadn’t spent much time at university.

And even during the time she stayed at university, she didn’t work on projects with the other students. Professor Hyde typically gave her independent tasks.

This was because Professor Hyde did not think that Jian Yiling was suited to conduct research with other university students.

And thus, Jian Yiling rarely had the chance to listen to gossip. This meant that she had little chance to hear what other students had to say about Lahaisen Hospital.

However, Lu Yuan continued asking her: “Well, aren’t you curious about the hospital? Are you not interested in working at Lahaisen?”

Lu Yuan assumed that everyone in the medical industry was more or less curious about Lahaisen Hospital.

If they were somewhat capable, they would also try to have further contact with individuals from Lahaisen Hospital.

Professor Huang was an example of this.

“I’m not really curious,” Jian Yiling replied.

However, Lu Yuan wasn’t very convinced.

She had already discussed this with most of the students in their class. There was not a single one of them who wasn’t curious about this mysterious hospital.

Hmmm… Maybe Jian Yiling was a genius. A genius that didn’t really know the ways of the world. Maybe that was the reason why she wasn’t curious about Lahaisen Hospital.

Professor Huang greeted a very important guest in his office.

It was Qin Yufan from the Qin family.

Qin Yufan was aware of the news that someone related to Lahaisen Hospital had arrived in Beijing.

However, she didn’t manage to attain any more information. The security at Lahaisen Hospital was very well maintained.

And thus, Qin Yufan approached Professor Huang. Professor Huang was a renowned professor at Beijing University. She hoped to get more accurate insider information from him.

After hearing Qin Yufan’s request, Professor Huang also expressed his frustration:

“Miss Qin, I want to help you with this matter. However, I might not have the ability to do so. I know very little about Lahaisen Hospital as well. As of now, I only know that a member of their hospital may appear at an academic exchange conference that’s going to be held in Beijing. However, I have no idea what kind of person is attending the conference. I don’t even know whether they’re male or female and whether they’re tall or short.”

Professor Huang also wanted to get more information. However, he had no means to do so.

All of the information about Lahaisen Hospital was highly confidential.

Their employee database was stored on the mysterious island.

In fact, the communication between the members was through a special channel. The members used separate communication equipment and communication software. In fact, they also used a different server. This meant that there was no way for outsiders to access any of their information.

“Hmm, then could you bring me to the academic exchange conference?”

Qin Yufan made a new request.

Only those from the medical circle were typically invited to such an academic exchange conference.

“I may not be able to do that either,” Professor Huang replied frankly. “However, if you really want to attend, you can find a way to contact the organizer. I believe the organizer can allow some people from the business circles to attend the conference.”

“Understood. Thank you, Professor Huang. If there is any more news related to Lahaisen Hospital, please let me know about it.”

“Okay, I’ll keep an eye on it.”
