"Brother, I've thought about it, and I won't leave. I was planning to come to the hospital to get a check-up anyway."
Shi Xinxin walked towards them as she spoke. Sheng Chenjin's face immediately showed concern. He frowned, "Are you feeling unwell somewhere? Why didn't you tell me in advance?"
Shi Xinxin suppressed her disappointment and forced a smile. "My stomach suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable. I might have drunk too much cold water."
In Sheng Chenjin's heart, Shi Xinxin had always been the most important. So, without much thought, he gently took Shi Xinxin's hand and carefully led her into the hospital.
Shi Xinxin didn't forget to look back at Yan Hao. Yan Hao's face also showed obvious anxiety, but for some reason, he hesitated to approach.
Shi Xinxin glanced behind him and pretended to ask casually, "Brother, who exactly are you waiting for? You've been waiting for half an hour, and they still haven't arrived."
Yan Hao smiled. "It's an old friend. We agreed to meet to discuss something."
For some reason, as soon as Yan Hao said that, Shi Xinxin felt that something was not that simple.
She didn't ask further and watched Yan Hao's receding figure, walking away in silence.
Sheng Chenjin rushed to register Shi Xinxin and contact the hospital's best doctor.
Shi Xinxin sat on a chair in the corridor, the fluorescent light illuminating the expression on her face.
She frowned, recalling the scenes she had just witnessed.
Sheng Chenjin and Yan Hao had always been at odds. Even after their life-or-death bond in the secret passage, what secrets were there between them that Shi Xinxin couldn't know?
Thinking about the way Sheng Chenjin and Yan Hao looked at each other, every glance was filled with hidden meaning.
Sheng Chenjin walked over with the medical slip, interrupting Shi Xinxin's thoughts. "Xinxin, I'll accompany you to see Director Li."
Shi Xinxin came back to herself, remembering that Director Li was the most outstanding and authoritative doctor in this hospital. She nodded silently.
On the way to the office, Shi Xinxin thoughtfully pinched the strap of her bag.
Sheng Chenjin was very attentive to her, treating her very well, doting on her as his unique treasure. During the time they had spent together, Shi Xinxin could clearly feel his sincere love.
But perhaps, it was precisely because of this intense love that Sheng Chenjin hid things from her.
Shi Xinxin's gaze suddenly fell on Sheng Chenjin. Without any warning, Sheng Chenjin turned to look at her, scrutinizing her condition. "What's wrong?"
Shi Xinxin curved her lips slightly. "Nothing, I just suddenly wanted to ask you, is there anything you're hiding from me?"
Her question was direct and caught him off guard.
Sheng Chenjin did not hesitate. "No, there's nothing I'm hiding from you."
A bitter smile bloomed in Shi Xinxin's heart. She nodded and didn't continue the conversation, walking along with him. Her slender shoulders couldn't bear the bewilderment in her heart at that moment.
Because Sheng Chenjin had made arrangements in advance, Shi Xinxin's diagnosis and prescription collection went smoothly.
Sheng Chenjin listened intently to the doctor's words, even asking about related matters and things to avoid.
Shi Xinxin, as the patient, waited for him outside the office.
While waiting for him to come out, Shi Xinxin leaned against the cold wall, her gaze drifting aimlessly. Suddenly, she noticed a figure in the stairwell.
Yan Hao! Shi Xinxin's heart leaped.
This was an excellent opportunity to find out the truth. Disregarding Sheng Chenjin, Shi Xinxin lowered her head and hurriedly followed Yan Hao's figure.
She watched Yan Hao's back disappear down the stairs. Her heart sank. Just as she suspected, Yan Hao was hiding something, or he wouldn't be in such a secluded place during working hours.
It seemed he had arranged to meet someone.
Shi Xinxin slowed her pace and entered the stairwell. It was dark, with only the emergency exit lights casting an eerie glow.
Yan Hao was on the floor below in the stairwell. Shi Xinxin stood at the entrance, faintly hearing his voice.
"You're here. Did you find it?" It was Yan Hao's voice.
Another female voice immediately followed, "Not yet, but I found some places he's been recently."
Hearing this familiar voice, which matched the person in her memory, Shi Xinxin froze in place.
Yin Xue? Why was she here? And conspiring with Yan Hao in secret!
Shi Xinxin's heart pounded uncontrollably. The indistinct conversation from below made her vaguely recall the last time she unexpectedly encountered Yin Xue in the dimly lit passage and her odd expression.
And now, Yan Hao and Yin Xue, two people with no apparent connection, were plotting together. This was something Shi Xinxin could never have imagined!
What secrets did they share? Could it be related to her lost memories...
Shi Xinxin steadied her mind and listened carefully to the voices below.
Yan Hao: "I've checked those places, but I haven't found any clues."
Yin Xue said somewhat dejectedly, "Then how can we find him in this vast ocean of people?"
They both knew that Old Feng was cunning, and in such a populated city, finding him was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
With this last possible lead gone, Yin Xue didn't know where to start.
She suddenly thought of something. "What about Sheng Chenjin? Is he also looking for Old Feng?"
Hearing Sheng Chenjin's name, Shi Xinxin's nerves tensed instantly.
Yan Hao replied, "Sheng Chenjin is on the same side as Xinxin. He's currently dedicating a lot of manpower to find Old Feng."
"That's good," Yin Xue said, a hint of joy on her face. "Sheng Chenjin has many capable people under him. If he's involved, the probability of finding Old Feng at least triples."
Yan Hao paused and then said, "Just now, Xinxin came to the hospital to find me, and Sheng Chenjin was with her."
Yin Xue also paused, countless thoughts flashing through her mind. "Did she discover something?"
"It seems so. Xinxin's expression was very strange, as if she had something on her mind, or perhaps she suspected me."
"That's it, she must have sensed something. No, that matter must not be revealed to her, or it will only cause her more pain," Yin Xue said.
Shi Xinxin clenched her fists.
What were they talking about? Why couldn't she know? What did they mean by causing her more pain if she knew?
More doubts swirled in Shi Xinxin's mind, her vision blurred. In the darkness, it seemed only the green emergency lights were shining.
"Let's leave it at that for now. If you have important matters to discuss in the future, contact me, but don't arrange to meet at the hospital," Yan Hao said in a low voice.
Yin Xue also felt that their plan was flawed this time and nodded. "I understand. Stick to the usual contact method, and remember to check your messages promptly."
"Okay."
Then, just as Shi Xinxin was about to collapse, they both exited the lower stairwell door. The stairwell was empty, and all sound had disappeared.
