Return to before death

"Okay, go ahead."

After receiving Sheng Xuanling's reply, Qin Zhiyuan stepped towards the door.

Zhang Xinyi's case is still under investigation, and now Ye Ting has come along, so it's normal that he's extremely busy right now.

Yan Ran had already returned home. She opened the door and found that Yu Xiao and Ji Wenhai were not there. She was stunned for a second, but then she felt relieved.

The young couple naturally had their own things to do, and she hadn't informed them at all during her long hospital stay. These past few days, Yu Xiao had been calling them from time to time, but she had always made up some excuse to brush them off. The two of them assumed she had run off to have fun and didn't think much of it.

She lay in bed sorting out what had happened recently.

and many more!

Her initial purpose in getting involved was because of a man's assassination attempt on Zong Zhengqing, and the reason for the assassination was that his wife, Zhang Xinyi, had an incident at the Zong family's hospital.

The man's intermittent words suggested that Zhang Xinyi's death was caused by the hospital's haphazard use of medication.

Judging from Ye Ting's words, Zhang Xinyi was eventually removed by a doctor. Before being removed, Zhang Xinyi's reaction was one of strong resistance. Logically speaking, shouldn't she have complied with the treatment she received?

Then came the news of Ye Ting's death. Before the previous case could be solved, another case came rushing in.

Their attention was immediately drawn to the murder case.

Why did Yan Ran feel that the other party was intentionally trying to divert their attention?

Yes, the initial goal was to find out if there was anything wrong with the hospital, but now all I can think about is who killed Ye Ting.

Her eyes narrowed slightly, and she subconsciously had a feeling that Ye Ting's death was definitely related to Zhang Xinyi.

However, the murderer clearly premeditated the crime. Putting aside the fact that he was familiar with the strange building and used the terrain to confuse them into thinking that the murderer was sniping from the opposite balcony, the step of finding Ye Ting lying on the sofa watching TV and hitting her with one shot is definitely not something that can be determined hastily.

Taking into account other factors and a series of subsequent calculations, it will take at least ten days to half a month to implement.

Ye Ting revealed that the key piece of evidence she possessed regarding the hospital's innocence—Zhang Xinyi's blood—was from the day before her death.

Therefore, the murderer's motive for the crime does not match.

Even so, it shifted their attention from Zhang Xinyi to Ye Ting, causing them to overlook their original purpose.

The more Yan Ran thought about it, the more horrified she felt. If the murderer was really as she suspected, then this scheme was truly terrifying.

Oh, right, that doctor!

Yan Ran suddenly remembered that Zhang Xinyi had been moved by a doctor and she had never seen her since. If that was the case, then that doctor must be suspicious.

And then there was her last conversation with Zong Zhengjing. If she remembered correctly, he was a famous attending physician at the hospital. Even if he didn't interfere in the management of the hospital, there was no way he wouldn't know anything.

She carelessly overlooked such an important matter, which clearly indicates that Zongzheng Jing was hiding something from her, or that he knew the truth but simply did not want to tell her.

It seems she needs to make another trip to her uncle's place.

Without hesitation, Yan Ran got out of bed, ignoring her fatigue, her eyes gleaming with excitement.

Now that the case has finally made progress, how can she continue to slack off?

She picked up her phone and called Zong Zhengjing.

"Uncle, where are you now? I have some questions for you."

As soon as the call connected, Yan Ran revealed her purpose.

On the other side, Zong Zhengjing, who was sitting in his office reviewing documents, rubbed his temples.

"I am at the hospital."

As expected, she wouldn't visit unless she needed something. If there was nothing wrong, she would never remember him. Zongzheng Jing helplessly tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled.

"Okay, I'll be right there." Yan Ran replied softly and hung up the phone.

She had originally planned to go to the hospital after asking some questions, but unexpectedly, Zong Zhengjing happened to be there, saving her an extra trip.

But then I thought about it again, and it was perfectly normal for Zong Zhengjing to be at the hospital at this time. As the attending physician, he naturally had a lot to do.

She quickly packed her things, grabbed her bag, hailed a taxi upstairs, and headed straight for the hospital.

The source of the incident was this hospital.

"Knock knock knock."

Zong Zhengjing looked up at the door from which the sound came. He felt that he had only hung up the phone not long ago, and Yan Ran had arrived so quickly.

He lowered his head to tidy himself up, making sure there was nothing amiss before gently parting his thin lips: "Come in."

The person who pushed open the door was not Yan Ran, but a doctor.

If Ye Ting were here, she would definitely recognize that this doctor was the one who pushed Zhang Xinyi away back then.

"What's wrong?" Zong Zhengjing's eyes flashed with disappointment, but he quickly concealed it.

"A woman was left lying at the hospital entrance, barely alive. What should we do? Ignore her or bring her in for treatment?" The doctor frowned slightly, his tone somewhat displeased.

There are always some people who, because they don't have the money to treat their loved ones, leave them at the hospital entrance, only to come looking for them again after they've recovered.

What's most infuriating is their attitude; they'll say that.

"It's your hospital that wants to save me, not me. Why should I pay for it?"

Once there's one, there's bound to be another. They tried their best to minimize the problem and make it disappear, with Zongzheng taking the initiative to cover the costs of treatment.

They thought the matter was over, but unexpectedly, every now and then a person who was about to die would appear at the hospital entrance.

Some were left barely clinging to life, dying before hospitals could provide timely treatment, and those people immediately started causing trouble.

Zongzheng sighed. He had seen these things many times before, and as a doctor, he couldn't just stand by and watch someone die.

However, the medicine needed to save lives is not free, and the hospital has already incurred a lot of unnecessary costs because of this.

"Bring him in. We can't let him die outside the hospital." In the end, Zong Zhengjing waved his hand, telling the doctor to quickly bring the patient in.

Yan Ran, who was standing at the door, saw this scene. Zong Zhengjing's character was far better than Zong Zhengqing's.

only……

She always remembered what they had done to her.

She stepped into the room, brushing past the doctor. A very faint scent wafted into her nose, and she paused slightly, glancing at the doctor with a suspicious look on her face.

Why does she think she smells blood?

"Ranran, you're here?" Zongzheng Jing followed her gaze. "What's wrong?"

Yan Ran shook her head, indicating that she was fine.

Perhaps it's because I've been under a lot of stress lately that I'm having this illusion.

Perhaps the person had just finished surgery and rushed over, and the wound wasn't cleaned up properly in time; these things are quite normal in hospitals.

Yan Ran closed the door behind her and sat down in the chair in front of Zong Zhengjing, looking somewhat like a patient seeking advice.

But she remained silent, her gaze fixed on the person in front of her.

"What was it you were talking about on the phone just now?" Zong Zhengjing finally couldn't help but ask.
