He Shen couldn't spare the energy to investigate Hu Xiaoting for the time being, so he lowered his eyes and told Jin Qilin: "Hu Xiaoting is dead."

"What! She's dead?" Jin Qilin was shocked, and then he sighed, "Alas, she's actually a pitiful person. Her father is not a good person."

He Shen went straight to the point: "I suspect her death was not simple. I hope you can help me do one thing - investigate the cause of her death."

Jin Qilin was shocked: "Do you mean...she was murdered?"

He Shen nodded without hesitation: "Not necessarily, but I suspect it is."

"Wait, why are you investigating her cause of death?" Jin Qilin asked in confusion, "Isn't this what the police should do?"

"This is a long story." He Shen decided to make it short. "Just think of it as working for me. I'll pay you. Don't worry, I won't let you do anything dangerous. I just want you to help me gather intelligence."

Jin Qilin hesitated for a moment, but to him, working for anyone was not working, and working for anything was not working: "Just tell me what you want me to do first."

He Shen said: "Hu Xiaoting's cause of death was apparently a failed operation. As long as her family members don't ask for it, the police won't file a case. Hu Xiaoting's father died in a car accident not long ago."

"I hope you can help me sneak into the hospital and investigate to see if there really was an accident during the surgery that day." He Shen stared at Jin Qilin's face. "This concerns a life. I hope you will seriously consider it."

Of course there are cameras installed in the hospital, but in order to protect the privacy of the patients, cameras are generally not installed in the operating room, so this time Jian Keyi is really in a dilemma.

Of course, even if there were surveillance videos, with their level of expertise, they probably wouldn't be able to tell whether anyone had tampered with the procedure during the operation. Moreover, the high-intensity surgery coupled with the massive physical exertion meant that even if the surgeon made minor mistakes, no one would be able to blame him.

Jin Qilin's righteous spirit was really aroused by He Shen's words: "Okay, I agree! What hospital?"

He Shen nodded and said, "Ningcheng First Hospital."

Jin Qilin paused: "...Ningcheng First Hospital?"

"What's wrong?" He Shen keenly noticed that Jin Qilin's expression was wrong, so he asked.

Jin Qilin was silent for two seconds, then shook his head and said, "Nothing."

Seeing Jin Qilin's expression that said "I do have something but I don't want to say it now", He Shen was immediately displeased: "Aren't we friends? What can't be said?"

"Friends? Are we friends?" Jin Qilin looked a little surprised. He glanced at He Shen in a daze, "Does someone like me deserve to have friends?"

"What's wrong with you?" He Shen raised his eyebrows, "Why are you not worthy?"

Jin Qilin murmured, "I am a piece of mud..."

His life was like a mess, and he could almost see the end at a glance. Perhaps the former "Ning Shen" made him feel like a fellow human being, but the current He Shen was so dazzling that he felt as if he would be burned just by getting close to him.

He Shen smiled gently: "You are obviously a flower that bloomed in the mud. Although the surrounding environment is harsh, you grow against the wind. One day, you may be able to soar to the sky."

Jin Qilin looked at He Shen for a long time, and then he said, "I hope so."

"...My mother has been hospitalized in Ningcheng First Hospital for several years."

He Shen suddenly realized that this was Jin Qilin's unspeakable secret. No wonder Jin Qilin worked so hard at several jobs at the same time...it turned out that it was all for his mother who was in the hospital.

Early the next morning, He Shen followed Jin Qilin to Ningcheng First Hospital.

Ningcheng First Hospital is the best hospital in Ningcheng. He Shen looked at the hospital gate and couldn't help but be in a trance for a moment. After the car accident, he was sent to Ningcheng First Hospital for emergency treatment.

But he died on the spot and was pronounced dead by the doctor shortly afterwards.

He Shen followed Jin Qilin all the way to the VIP ward on the top floor.

Then, Jin Qilin pushed the door open and He Shen saw the woman lying on the hospital bed. The woman was wearing a hospital gown, pale and thin, with her eyes closed and motionless.

He soon realized that this was a vegetable.

Facts proved that He Shen was right. Jin Qilin walked to the woman with ease, helped her turn over her body, and massaged her hands and feet. The woman did not even open her eyes during the whole process.

He Shen was surprised: "Your mother..."

While massaging the woman's hands and feet to promote blood circulation, Jin Qilin nodded and said, "My mother is a vegetable and has been lying in bed for several years."

He Shen was even more surprised. This was the VIP ward of Ningcheng First Hospital. The high medical expenses incurred by a vegetative patient lying here for several years...

It is impossible for Jin Qilin, a college student, to afford it by working several jobs at the same time.

Even if Jin Qilin worked himself to the point of gastric bleeding or sudden death, he would not be able to afford it.

"I'm quite familiar with this place. After all, I've been here for several years." Jin Qilin smiled at He Shen, "I'm just asking for some small information for you. It's no problem. Many cleaning ladies know me... Don't underestimate them. They are often the ones who know the most!"

He Shen had no doubt about this, he just found it amazing.

Jin Qilin can only afford to live in an old and small house in an old community like Xingfu Community or Heping Community, but he can let his mother live in the best ward in the best hospital in Ningcheng. This is really too contradictory.

However, He Shen did not intend to get to the bottom of it. After all, everyone has their own secrets.

"Then I'll leave it to you... I won't disturb you and your mother. I'll go out for a walk first." He Shen retracted his gaze and planned to take a look at the "second death scene" of him and Hu Jiawei.

After saying that, he turned and left, walking towards the operating room he had seen before.

Ever since he dreamed about the car accident scene, He Shen would occasionally dream about being rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment, but those scenes were even more illusory, probably because he had actually died by then, and had been floating around as a soul, so he didn't have much of a sense of reality as if he had experienced it personally.

He only remembered scenes like balls of white light. All the images were blurry like an old black and white TV, and all the voices were like distorted records. As the doctor announced the patient's death, he saw a long white tunnel in front of him, so he walked towards the end of the tunnel.

Just as he was about to reach the end of the tunnel, a voice suddenly rang out.

"He Shen! He Shen!!"

"He's not dead! He can't be dead!"

"Please! Save him!"

The voice was calling his name, and it seemed to be crying loudly, containing infinite sorrow.

Whose voice is that? It sounds familiar.

He thought blankly, then turned around and looked back the way he came...

When He Shen opened his eyes again, he had become "Ning Shen".

He Shen came to his senses belatedly. Could this be the rumored near-death experience?

What's that sound?

Everyone outside the operating room at that time should have been from the He family. His brothers and sisters probably wanted to open a bottle of champagne on the spot. Who would want him to survive?
