Return to before death

"If no problems were found during hospitalization and observation, it's either due to the doctor's negligence or there's something wrong with the situation."

Looking at Yan Ran's calm expression, as if he had seen something, he played with the strands of hair that were scattered on the shoulders of the person next to him, and casually mentioned his analysis.

She stepped aside and dodged the restless claws of the person next to her. "That's right. The child's attending physician admitted that he had been preoccupied with family matters during that time and neglected her because her symptoms were not obvious. In the end, he also took the initiative to resign."

Sheng Xuanling watched the strands of hair slip from her hand without getting angry, as if nothing had happened. She continued to express her opinion with a serious expression, "Don't you think... this plot seems familiar? It's very similar to the situation Ye Ting and Zhang Xinyi were in. It was a medical malpractice case related to the attending physician's private life, and then they turned themselves in to take responsibility."

"In short, the doctors have always been the scapegoats. No, it's also possible that the doctors were bribed by the Zong family..." Yan Ran lowered her head and pondered for a while, then sighed softly and continued, "Never mind, there's no evidence right now."

Looking up at Sheng Xuanling, she asked in a low voice, somewhat unwilling, "Could you... find a way to get her bloodstained belongings for me?"

"The attitude of asking for help..."

That bastard! He's using the same trick again, always so high and mighty, always acting like he's manipulating people.

Suppressing his anger, he forced a smile and agreed...

"it is good."

Take a deep breath and calm down. Yan Ran told herself this in her heart.

"Mr. Sheng, could you please help me find Shen Yuxin's bloodstained belongings?" He then added emphatically, "Thank you so much!"

Yan Ran's appearance clearly satisfied Sheng Xuanling's wicked sense of humor. One corner of his mouth curled up, and he crossed his arms, looking down at the person in front of him, and said, "Of course, but there's no such thing as eating without paying. How do you plan to repay me?"

"...What do you want? Anything but sex. But I know you, Young Master Sheng, aren't interested in women like me. But who knows if you might suddenly become lustful one day and start taking anything?"

Seemingly recalling the awkward situation from that day, Sheng Xuanling pursed her lips somewhat uncomfortably.

Even if I were starving, I wouldn't choose you.

"you!"

……

The air suddenly went silent, and the scene became extremely awkward.

"Forget about that, what are your requirements besides what I just mentioned?"

Her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, as if she had thought of something amusing, her words full of teasing, "Heh, alright, since you put it that way, then..."

He placed his hands on Yan Ranying's shoulders and uttered ambiguous words in a low, husky voice...

"tonight……"

Feeling a warm breath caressing her soft hair from above, Yan Ran froze, feeling both embarrassed and angry.

Seeing that the person in front of him seemed to be suppressing his anger, he leaned down and whispered in her ear, "How about having dinner with me? So many women want this opportunity but can't get it."

She took a deep breath, then turned and pushed away the always frivolous man. "So many women want to pick up a gun and point it at you right now..."

He made a gun gesture with his hand, pointed at his head, tilted his head slightly to the side, and chuckled softly...

"Oh!"

Seeing Yan Ran's unusually playful demeanor, Sheng Xuanling was somewhat stunned, but quickly came to her senses and couldn't see anything amiss.

He chuckled and replied, "Including you?"

“Including me.” He shrugged, picked up his handbag from the sofa, and said, “Stop talking nonsense and let’s go.”

……

Wu Yue Private Kitchen on Xinghua Road.

This is a private restaurant hidden in Shenxiang. Unless you have connections, you generally can't get to eat here. But because the food here is so delicious, people with a sweet tooth often go out of their way to ask for help just to get a taste of it. So it is considered a very famous "high-end private restaurant" in the city.

Zong Zhengqing had brought her here before because of the "legend" surrounding the store, but now... it can only remain a memory.

Pick up a fried milk roll with chopsticks. The golden-brown crust is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside when you bite into it. The milk jelly inside melts in your mouth, sweet but not greasy, leaving a faint milky aroma.

The people who come have changed, but the restaurant remains the same, and the food is still delicious. It's truly a case of things changing and people being different.

While chewing delicious food, my mind is always preoccupied with other things, and I can hardly taste the food.

Seemingly sensing her thoughts, Sheng Xuanling handed her a box: "Here, this is what you wanted."

They saw the box as soon as they came in. Yan Ran was a little puzzled at the time, but seeing that he didn't seem inclined to explain, she didn't ask.

Seeing Yan Ran's suspicious look, Sheng Xuanling picked up his chopsticks and placed a piece of lean stewed meat on Xiang's plate, saying calmly, "Open it and take a look."

Yan Ran frowned and opened the box. Inside was... a small hospital gown, and upon closer inspection, some faint bloodstains could be seen.

"Shen Yuxin's belongings?" The moment Yan Ran saw the hospital gown, she thought of the promise Sheng Xuanling had just made.

"Yes, I instructed someone to borrow it from my family before I got on the bus." Sheng Xuanling raised an eyebrow and smiled. "You really don't want to have dinner with me? I kept my promise, what about you?"

"Aren't we having dinner together right now?" Hearing his teasing, she instinctively retorted, but for some reason, she felt a little unsure of herself as she spoke.

Is this person concerned about themselves?

How could that be? He's probably just annoyed that the people he's having dinner with seem distracted.

However, I do indeed...

She picked up a perfectly cooked piece of stewed meat from her bowl, sighed softly, and smiled, "Alright, let's eat. We'll talk about Shen Yuxin's matter after we finish eating."
