Return to before death

Standing against the wall, watching Yan Ran take out her bloodstained clothes and amulet, he said softly, "Let's begin."

Although I've traversed this route many times, I still feel nervous about the unknown that lies ahead. I close my eyes and take slow, deep breaths to calm myself down.

"All things arise from causes and conditions."

A dazzling light burst forth in an instant, and the feeling of weightlessness made me lose my balance. I subconsciously reached forward to find a point of support... and it was a wall.

After regaining my balance, my eyes seemed to calm down from the blinding white light, and I opened them to look around.

It was a hospital corridor, but I had clearly never been here before. I wasn't sure if it was the Zong family's, but if the amulet was correct, then it should be.

The most urgent task now is to find Shen Yuxin; she should be in the operating room undergoing surgery right now...

Thinking of this, I turned to look at the operating room I had caught a glimpse of while observing earlier... It was a very strange-looking operating room. Within a semicircle with a radius of about ten meters centered on the door, there were no fewer than ten cameras, and a person in a security guard uniform was sitting on the waiting chair that belonged to the family members...

Upon suddenly seeing someone sitting in the chair, Yan Ran's mind went blank for a moment. She gasped and quickly covered her mouth with her hand, worried that she might make a sound.

Wait... the guard seems to be asleep in his chair? It looks like I haven't disturbed him yet.

If we keep quiet and walk over, it shouldn't be a problem. The problem is that the security looks very tight, and we might have already been discovered. We need to hurry.

Holding my breath, I carefully and gently took a few steps, reaching the operating room door as quickly as possible. I glanced at the guard beside me with lingering fear... still asleep, undisturbed.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Quietly tiptoeing, I peered through a small observation window in the door.

A somewhat familiar figure in a white coat was busy at work, seemingly performing surgery on a child.

Wearing blood-stained sterile gloves, she removed a bloody, unidentified object from the child's body, which appeared to be an organ. She turned and handed it to the nurse next to her, who immediately put it into a "bottle" filled with liquid... and then walked towards the door.

Yan Ran was startled and hurriedly stepped back. However, perhaps because she was too nervous, she lost her balance and tripped over herself, falling forward violently.

With a loud "thump!", Yan Ran managed to steady herself by holding onto the door.

He immediately turned around and ran towards the corner of the corridor.

But the loud noise of the impact with the door had undoubtedly alerted the guards nearby, as well as the people in the operating room.

"Halt!" A strange voice came from behind; it was obvious it was a guard.

The sound grew closer, and from the other side of the corner, one could faintly hear hurried, dense footsteps... The surveillance camera showed that another group of her guards was now approaching.

Caught between two forces, Yan Ran was trapped in the corridor. Knowing she had no way out, she stood there, slightly out of breath, and stopped running... After all, five minutes would soon pass.

Yan Ran was pinned down by the guards, who then twisted her arm and subdued her on the spot.

At this moment, several people walked out of the operating room, and the face of one of them made Yan Ran's pupils shrink.

The figure that seemed somewhat familiar to her was none other than the General Political Department's Jing!

The General Political Department officer looked up and glanced over, then waved to the nurse beside him to go first. What the nurse was holding was a "glass bottle" containing internal organs.

A guard saw the General Political Department's competition and ran up to him to report the situation.

The General Political Department officer frowned, looking in the direction of the crowd, and asked, "What's going on?"

"Doctor Zong, was there any unauthorized intruder?" the guard answered cautiously, then added as if remembering something, "And, it seems to be Madam Zong..."

Upon hearing this, the General Political Department's face showed utter astonishment: "Sister-in-law?"

He quickly stepped forward and saw Yan Ran being held down by her arm. He felt extremely sorry for her and ordered the guard, "Let her go. She is Madam Zong."

He paused, then added, "Everything's alright now, you can go back."

As soon as Yan Ran was released, General Jing rushed forward to support her and let her nestle in his arms.

Although still shaken, Yan Ran declined his offer of help, steadied herself with him, thanked him, and then rubbed her temples, waiting silently for the person beside her to ask her questions.

Seeing Yan Ran's rejection, the General Political Department's staff felt a pang of pain in their hearts, and their expressions turned somber and sorrowful...

As expected, she was still no match for her older brother; he wouldn't even let her lean against her for a moment.

The General Political Department member sighed inwardly, then voiced his question, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing here?"

Yan Ran calmly replied with the excuse she had just come up with, "I came to check on the hospital, but I accidentally got lost."

After thinking for a moment, he added his own question: "What's the situation here? Why is the security so tight and why are there guards?"

General Political Commissar frowned with some concern, his eyes filled with worry as he looked at Yan Ran. "This... is the intensive care unit and the medical experimental area. In short, it's very dangerous here. Sister-in-law, you should go back first. Leave the situation at the hospital to me."

His sister-in-law was so well protected by him and his brother that she knew nothing about it...

Seeing that the General Political Department's Jing remained silent about what had just happened, Yan Ranxin roughly guessed what was going on with this so-called "experimental zone," but it seemed that the attitude of the person in front of her would not allow her to get the information she wanted.

“Okay, then…” Just as he was nodding in agreement, Yan Ran suddenly disappeared from the spot, vanishing without a trace.

……

When I opened my eyes again, the dining table in front of me was still the same one, and this time my memory remained unchanged.

But she had some clues, and also some questions.

Seeing that the person was unharmed, Sheng Xuanling secretly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled gently, "How was it? You didn't get beaten up this time, did you?"

"You...don't worry, I'm not you."

You can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth.

Yan Ran didn't want to continue arguing with him, so she frowned and analyzed what she had seen. "The Zong family is definitely doing something shady, most likely organ trafficking."

"Is there any evidence?" His words carried a hint of doubt and disbelief.

Sensing his doubts, Yan remained firm and said, "No, but we should be able to find it. It's in the intensive care unit and medical laboratory area of ​​Zong's Hospital."

To dispel Sheng Xuanling's doubts, he paused and continued to recount what he had just witnessed: "I just saw the doctor who treated Shen Yuxin, Zong Zhengjing. He took out something that looked like an organ and put it in a 'bottle,' and immediately had it sent away."

"The organs have been sent away immediately..." Upon hearing her words, Sheng Xuanling softly repeated the key information, connecting all the clues in her mind.
