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."

Another person in the Qin family was also trying to contact Lahaisen Hospital. This person was Qin Yufan's father, Qin Hongzhi. He was the current head of the Qin family. At the same time, he was also the CEO and chairman of the Qin Group.
Qin Hongzhi and Qin Chuan were father and son. The two of them shared 60-70% resemblance.
Qin Hongzhi looked like an aged version of Qin Chuan.
Even now, he was still very dignified. Back in the days, he was a rather popular man.
One of his cousins who was an influential director in the Qin family was ill. As a result, his cousin was in urgent need of medical attention.
His cousin had announced that he was willing to hand over all his shares in the Qin family to anyone who could cure him.
Of course, Qin Hongzhi wanted to get his hands on these shares. If these shares fell in the hands of anyone else, it would undoubtedly be a huge hidden threat for Qin Hongzhi and the entire Qin Group.
And thus, he hoped to get into contact with Lahaisen Hospital. He wanted to reach an agreement with Lahaisen Hospital as he wanted to seize those shares.
He was willing to pay a sum of money that was equivalent to the shares that were going to be given away. In exchange, he wanted ownership of the shares.
Qin Hongzhi called over Qin Chuan. He told him about his idea and asked him to be in charge of this matter.
Qin Hongzhi called Qin Chuan over to discuss this matter with him as he was more inclined to hand the Qin family over to Qin Chuan. However, this wasn't because he doubted his daughter's abilities.
On the contrary, he recognized his daughter's abilities.
However, the Qin family had passed their legacy down to their sons for generations. It would be against ancestral tradition to pass it on to his daughter.
This was the reason why a number of elders in the Qin family supported Qin Chuan.
Qin Hongzhi told Qin Chuan: "We can't let outsiders get their hands on these shares. Your uncle is currently ill and thus, he's not thinking about this clearly. However, we can't just let him hand over those shares to someone else. Therefore, we only have two options in front of us. The first option is to reach an agreement with Lahaisen Hospital. The second is to simply not treat him."
This was not something that Qin Hongzhi would have said in front of other people. However, he was rather blunt with his words in front of his son.
Then, he continued at length: "The shares of the Qin family cannot fall into the hands of outsiders. Especially, if it's such a large amount. Once an outsider holds too many shares, they will have the ability to interfere with the decisions of the Board. That's an incredibly dangerous situation for us. And thus, there are only two options. The first option is for your uncle to die. If that happens, the shares under his name will be inherited by his children. Of course, the second option is to reach an agreement with Lahaisen Hospital."
Qin Chuan frowned when he heard this. He understood what his father meant.
This was about the interests of the Qin Group.
However, his uncle held those assets in the first place. As a result, his uncle had the right to decide how he wanted to use them.
"I don't think this is right. We have no right to interfere with his decision."
"Qin Chuan, you have to be ruthless in the corporate world. Have you thought about the consequences if your uncle's shares fell into the hands of people who harbored evil intentions towards the Qin Group?"
"Lahaisen Hospital only accepts a limited number of patients each year. We don't even know if he's going to be treated by them. I don't think it matters if we don't intervene."
"Qin Chuan, you still have so much to learn! You shouldn't have such wishful thinking in the corporate world!"
Qin Chuan frowned. He didn't want to argue with Qin Hongzhi.
Upon seeing this, Qin Hongzhi said: "Ahh, go back and think about it first. Come back to me when you understand the situation properly."
And thus, the conversation between Qin Hongzhi and Qin Chuan ended unhappily.

Mo Shiyun was very busy lately.
She was busy shooting short video clips.
This was because short video clips were becoming popular on the Internet. As a result, many celebrities resorted to relying on them as a means to gain new traffic.
Mo Shiyun was also attempting to do this.
As she no longer had a team behind her to help her put forward plans and ideas, she now had to rely on herself for everything.
The process had been incredibly tough. The first few short videos that she made were not very well received even though she had bought promotion on the video platform.
People said that she was Dong Shi imitating Xi Shi's frown. They said she was merely imitating someone else's idiosyncrasies and making a fool out of herself. They said that she was too arrogant and thought too highly of herself to imitate someone else's funny videos.
When Mo Shiyun read these comments, she felt quite hurt. However, she knew that she wasn't cut out to make funny videos.
And thus, this time, she planned to follow the new trend of trying to act cool. As of now, she was trying to think of what ideas to use.
Mo Huiqin was very distressed to see how hard her daughter had been working lately.
She had prepared a bowl of bird's nest stew for her daughter.
Right now, they rented an apartment in Beijing.
At the peak of career, Mo Shiyun had bought two apartments in Hengyuan City.
She lived in one of the apartments. The other apartment was for investment.
At the same time, the amount in her savings account had approached close to eight figures.
However, Mo Shiyun's career had gone downhill. Despite that, her daily expenses were still incredibly high.
In the end, both apartments were sold. Mo Shiyun and her mother went to Beijing in search of more development opportunities.
However, things hadn't been going well. Once every few months, her daughter would be asked to do a celebrity endorsement. To make matters worse, her daughter received limited remuneration for her advertisement.
This income was sufficient to sustain an ordinary family.
However, Mo Shiyun did not want to admit her defeat. She wanted to return to the heights that she had once reached.
And thus, it cost Mo Shiyun a lot of money to maintain her appearance to the public.
As a result, Mo Shiyun and her mother had to suffer a lot of hardships.
Mo Huiqin sighed and said: "Ahhh, if only He Yan hadn't treated her son badly back then. If she didn't make things difficult for herself, then all of those things wouldn't have had to happen."
Back then, Mo Shiyun had two financial backers. One was He Yan and the other was Ms. Qian.
However, He Yan had been completely ruined by her son. Ever since then, she hadn't managed to get herself back up. Once she fell, her partnership with Mo Shiyun had been terminated. As a result, Mo Shiyun had lost a large part of her contacts and a part of her behind-the-scenes funding.
Ms. Qian had also drawn a line with Mo Shiyun for reasons that were unknown to her and her mother till this day.
However, if He Yan was a little smarter, then she wouldn't have been ruined by her son. In this regard, Mo Huiqin felt that He Yan was incredibly stupid.
If she hadn't been ruined by her son, then their partnership would have been incredibly successful. They would have been able to mutually benefit from one another.
With her daughter's potential, Mo Shiyun would have definitely been able to bring He Yan a handsome return on her investment.
"Mother, I'm fine. Don't worry about me. I'm just brainstorming ideas for a short video. It's not as hard as you think."
Mo Shiyun was okay with her investment of time and effort. This was because she didn't have much to do right now. As a result, she had plenty of time to spare.
What she cared about was the fee that she had paid the platform to promote her short videos.
If the promotion didn't work, then she would have basically wasted her money.
"Oh right. Did you ask around about that matter?"
Mo Shiyun was also inquiring about Lahaisen Hospital.
She had heard from her friends that the Qin family was trying to learn more about this mysterious hospital.
One of the big shots in the entertainment industry that she was in contact with had offered a reward to anyone that had relevant information.
Being sick was a common occurrence.
Anyone that's sick would want to get better.

When ordinary hospitals were unable to cure a patient, then patients could only resort to this mysterious hospital.
This hospital had suddenly emerged in the past year. Even if that was the case, even Mo Shiyun, who was not part of the medical circle, had heard of this hospital's name more than once.
"Shiyun, I'm useless... I didn't manage to find out anything..."
However, this was only normal.
Many large financial groups had also attempted to look for relevant information regarding Lahaisen Hospital. In contrast, Mo Huiqin could only source information from individuals that she had met when her daughter was popular. As a result, what information could she even find?
Mo Shiyun also knew that the chances of finding anything were next to nothing. However, she had to try. Maybe she would be lucky.
Mo Shiyun studied at an art school. She could only continue her career as an actress.
She had only two paths ahead of her. She could attempt to use her short videos to attract an audience. Using this attention, she could attempt to return to the public eye. Or she could attempt to find new connections. Through these connections, she needed to find another agency to sign with.
However, both these two paths were difficult to walk.

Master Zhai approached Jian Yiling directly.
The more he looked at the pretty little girl in front of him, the happier he was.
He was especially happy when he saw the jade pendant that hung from Jian Yiling's fair neck.
Her neck was so beautiful! It was as though she was naturally suited to wear their family's jade pendant!
The thin black string accentuated the fairness of her neck and the jade complemented her skin perfectly!
A jade pendant needed to be worn. It was a waste to leave it unattended in a box.
Master Zhai looked at Jian Yiling with a smile on his face. He looked like a strange grandpa.
After looking at her for a while, Master Zhai remembered the purpose of his visit today.
"Little girl, you know Zhai Yunsheng right? I know that you know that his health isn't very good. Due to this reason, I want to hire a doctor to take care of him. However, this grandson of mine has a rather strange temper. An average person can't take care of him. Previously, I've tried finding him a few doctors. However, he drove all of them away!"
Master Zhai had a distressed look on his face. He was deliberately showing this expression to Jian Yiling.
However, those words were true. His words were from the bottom of his heart.
Many times in the past, Master Zhai and the Second Master of the Zhai family had tried to arrange a doctor to take care of Zhai Yunsheng's health.
However, none of them had been accepted by him.
And now, Master Zhai knew that Jian Yiling was a medical student. He also knew that she was an excellent forensic scientist.
Although the profession wasn't quite the right one, it was still in the same general direction.
And thus, he planned to use this reason to invite her to his grandson's side. It was perfectly justifiable and reasonable.
If the person who came today was someone else, Jian Yiling would have undoubtedly refused.
However, Master Zhai had approached her. On top of that, it was for Zhai Yunsheng.
For some reason, when it came to matters related to Zhai Yunsheng, Jian Yiling would always treat it differently.
Was it because she owed him a lot?
She would have felt bad if she declined right away.
And thus, Jian Yiling pondered about Master Zhai's suggestion.
It wasn't that she didn't want to say yes. However, she didn't plan to stay in Beijing for a long period of time.
And this job was undoubtedly long-term.
When Master Zhai saw Jian Yiling's pensive expression, his brain cogs turned and started to cry out in misery:
"Ahh, I must be born under an ill star. I'm so old and I only have this one grandson. I don't want to see him die before me. That would be more painful than making me die!"

"Miss Yiling, I can't help it! I'm just an ordinary old man who wants his grandson to live in good health! I know that you're good friends with him. I also know that you were teammates who played games together. If it's you, I think he wouldn't be against the idea! You're my only hope now!"
Master Zhai said such words in a mournful and miserable manner. If someone didn't know better, they would have actually assumed that he was only an ordinary old man.
"I won't be staying in Beijing for long," Jian Yiling replied. She decided to tell Master Zhai about her situation.
"How long will you be staying?"
"Around a month."
"It's fine. Even if it's only a month, maybe when he gets used to you, he wouldn't be so resistant against other physicians in the future."
The older you get, the more experienced you are.
Master Zhai knew that you couldn't become fat on one mouthful.
Everything must have a beginning.
After that, he could make steady progress.
He had to kidnap her into his family first! The rest would be fine.
As for the matter of a month later... He would just convince her a month later!
When faced with Master Zhai, Jian Yiling was basically a newborn chick facing against a falcon that had been soaring the plains for many years. She was being eaten alive.
"Then... Okay." Jian Yiling replied.
"That's good! Let's move over there right now!" Master Zhai quickly said. He didn't leave the slightest chance for Jian Yiling to regret her decision.
He hurriedly assigned manpower to Jian Yiling.
"I'll leave these female bodyguards with you. They can help you move your stuff! You don't need to move your luggage yourself. Don't strain yourself."
Master Zhai had brought female bodyguards with him today.
He didn't want another man to touch Jian Yiling's possessions.
Especially if the girl was going to be his future granddaughter-in-law! He was not going to let another man move her possessions!
His grandson would definitely get jealous!
However, Jian Yiling did not have much luggage.
She only had a few suitcases with her.
Around an hour later, Jian Yiling moved into Zhai Yunsheng's accommodation.
As of now, Zhai Yunsheng didn't live in the Zhai family mansion. Instead, he lived by himself.
He lived on the twenty-second floor of a high-end residential building. His apartment had 200 square meters of space.
He also had a housekeeper and a caretaker.
The entire apartment was decorated in black and white.
There were a lot of vacant rooms in the apartment. And thus, Master Zhai asked the housekeeper to vacate the room opposite Zhai Yunsheng's for Jian Yiling. Master Zhai hadn't even asked his grandson for his opinion.
In fact, Master Zhai hadn't even informed Zhai Yunsheng in advance about this.
As a result, Zhai Yunsheng, who was currently at his company, was completely unaware of this.
###
In the evening, Zhai Yunsheng returned home as usual. He discovered the lights in his apartment were on as he entered.
Then, he saw a small figure in the kitchen.
Zhai Yunsheng froze in his tracks.
He had the surreal feeling that he was dreaming.
As Jian Yiling heard movement, she turned around to look at Zhai Yunsheng.
The two of them stared at each other for a while. Finally, Zhai Yunsheng realized that he wasn't dreaming.
"Why are you here?"
When Zhai Yunsheng walked forward, he saw that there was already a lot of food on the dining table.
Jian Yiling pointed at the document that was on the table and said: "Sign it."
Zhai Yunsheng froze for a moment. Sign it?
What did she want him to sign?
Zhai Yunsheng walked towards the table in a daze. He picked up the document on the table and began to read it.
