Before I knew it, I had turned through most of the book, and I only had a dozen pages left.

I closed the book a little tiredly, rubbing my sore temples, my heart was in a mess, seeing that the book was almost coming to an end, it was still the love entanglement between the male protagonist and several women, but it seemed that he now understood more and more what he wanted, and his relationship with one of the women had developed by leaps and bounds.

I lit a cigarette and took a puff and thought of myself.

Since the demons of the previous life, I have a lover, who pestered me to this life, and then met them, Bingyu, Xue Xiaxia, and a few girls around me, so I think about it I am similar to the male protagonist of this book, and the emotional line is very complicated.

However, I have already figured out how to go about the relationship for the rest of my life, and Xue Xiaxia is my destination.

I threw away the cigarette butt when it almost burned my hand, and I sat up suddenly, was this book reminding me?

I picked up the book and frowned and flipped through it, remembering what Ma Yuan said to me before, and telling me to finish reading this book no matter what, so he was reminding me to grasp my feelings?

If so, then why should Ma Yuan help me, he is really a character who is both good and evil.

I had planned to go to him the next day and talk to him about the book, but I was so entangled in a lot of things that I had to make another plan.

Two days later.

In the afternoon, I was in the hotel, and Xue Xiaxia called from the office landline, saying that her cousin Ling Shengfeng had come to the Second People's Hospital of Qiuying City for an internship, and invited me to dinner in the evening to get to know each other.

I'm naturally very happy, of course it's a pleasure to know my cousin, but Xue Xiaxia can't eat with us, so it's just me and Ling Shengfeng tonight.

Ling Shengfeng is the son of Xue Xiaxia's cousin, who went to medical school in his hometown and is about to graduate, originally planned to intern in the hospital in his hometown, but his parents helped him arrange an internship in the Second People's Hospital of Qiu Ying City, because the dean Sichuan is an old classmate of Ling Shengfeng's father.

I can also understand that people go to high places and water flows to low places, and Qiu Ying's medical level is one of the best in the whole province, and he can learn more by coming here for an internship.

At a quarter past six, I picked up Ling Shengfeng at the gate of the Second People's Hospital.

I was very surprised the moment I saw him, Xue Xiaxia was so beautiful, but his cousin was ...... His appearance is not good, medium height, still a little chubby, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, just like a cartoon person, but the appearance is very pleasing, and the person is also very well-behaved and sensible.

The genes between this cousin and brother are indeed a lot different, and it is estimated that the genes were damaged by that cousin, I secretly thought in my heart.

Sitting down in the hotel, we opened the chatterbox and chatted, this little guy is very cheerful and very interesting, talkative but not stealing words, when I speak, he smiled and listened quietly, and seriously combined my topic to talk about some interesting content.

In just a short period of contact, my affection for this cousin has increased dramatically.

While chatting, I talked to him about Father Xue, and he immediately sighed and his face became solemn.

My heart sank, "What's wrong?" ”

Ling Shengfeng pulled the corners of his mouth embarrassedly, "It's nothing, I just think my eldest uncle has done too much in this matter, you and my sister have such a good relationship, it is simply unreasonable for him to oppose it." ”

Ling Shengfeng usually calls Xue Xiaxia "sister", which makes me feel very kind, as if the word "table" will seem a little distant.

I smiled and shook my head, "After all, there is a generation gap between their elders and us, it's okay, the misunderstanding will always be resolved." ”

"Hey." Ling Shengfeng sighed deeply, his fists curled up unnaturally.

I frowned slightly, looking at his flickering gaze, and secretly guessed in my heart that something must be wrong with Father Xue.

"There's something I haven't told my sister, and now I'm telling you, Brother Xuan, don't tell her, otherwise she will definitely be worried." Ling Shengfeng frowned, his tone extremely uneasy.

My heart tightened, and sure enough, something was wrong.

Ling Shengfeng rubbed his temples, took off his glasses and closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and talked about the whole story in a deep voice.

Just a year ago, Xue's father felt unwell, so he went to the hospital for an examination, and found that there was a tumor in his head, which needed to be operated on as soon as possible, otherwise it would be more serious if it was delayed for a long time, first affecting his walking, sitting and lying, then the nerve center, and finally his life would be in danger.

However, there are also risks associated with surgery, the success rate is only less than 60%, and Xue's father's blood pressure has always been unstable, high and low, and it will be very troublesome if the operation is performed.

Father Xue didn't tell his wife and Xue Xiaxia, he didn't want them to worry about him, because Ling Shengfeng happened to study brain surgery and accompanied him to do several examinations, so only Ling Shengfeng knew about his situation, and he asked Ling Shengfeng to keep it secret and never reveal it to others.

Father Xue asked many experts, and they all unanimously advised him to have surgery as soon as possible, otherwise his life would be in danger, after all, the tumor had begun to deteriorate.

Ling Shengfeng also persuaded him to have the operation done as soon as possible, he was still young, and there were no other major problems in his body, so he had a good chance of success.

But after thinking about it, Father Xue still decided to treat conservatively, he was afraid that he would not be able to get off the operating table, and he was reluctant to give up his beloved family.

The effect of conservative treatment was not good, after taking medicine for two months, Xue's father's condition still did not improve, and he began to have symptoms of inconvenience in walking, nausea and vomiting, so Ling Shengfeng urged him to go for surgery as soon as possible.

However, Ling Shengfeng's attitude was still very stubborn, he insisted that if he continued to take medicine, his condition could be controlled, in short, he would not agree to go for surgery anyway.

He even said that if he had surgery, he would die, and if he continued to take medicine, if the situation was really bad, it would be a big deal, so it was better not to take that risk.

"So he never had surgery?" I asked, frowning.

Ling Shengfeng nodded, "Yes, he hasn't had surgery all along, but just three months ago, I discovered something unbelievable, he didn't have surgery, but the tumor in his brain was actually gone." ”

I was taken aback, "How is that possible, how do you know that the tumor in his brain is gone?" ”

"I really can't worry about his condition, just three months ago, a specialist came to our affiliated hospital, I called him and asked him to come over for a check-up and ask the specialist to show him, but he refused, I asked him why, he said that the tumor in his brain had disappeared on its own."

Ling Shengfeng stopped, he put on his glasses, and his face became even more solemn than before.

"I don't believe that the tumor in the brain can not be seen without surgery, it is the best situation if it does not grow bigger, under my insistence, he went to the hospital with me for an examination, and the brain CT showed that the tumor was really gone, and the doctor was very surprised and puzzled by this situation, after all, conservative treatment has no such effect at all."

"Could it be that he secretly went to another place for surgery and removed the tumor?" I asked.

Ling Shengfeng shook his head again and again, "Impossible, after a very detailed examination, there was no trace of surgery on his head at all, so the tumor in his brain disappeared mysteriously, but it was not using medical technology." ”

Sure enough, there are too many doubts in Father Xue's body, and it is likely that his changes started from the mysterious missing tumor in his brain.

"Then did you notice that this time he was different from before?"

Ling Shengfeng thought about it seriously, "Actually, I had to be busy preparing for the internship in the next few months, and I had very little contact with him, but I still found that he seemed to have become a little more irritable. ”

Getting grumpy? I was secretly a little excited in my heart, which was consistent with what Xue Xiaxia said, he had indeed become unkind from the gentle elder he used to be.

Ling Shengfeng nodded, he said that from some small things, it can be reflected that Father Xue is indeed less patient than before, for example, once he told Ling Shengfeng that he would go to the house for dinner, Ling Shengfeng was delayed and was late for more than ten minutes, but he was severely reprimanded by him, and he also dropped the dishes and chopsticks.

I asked Ling Shengfeng if he believed in a certain sect, Ling Shengfeng thought for a long time but shook his head in denial, he said that Father Xue was a partisan and an atheist, and he did not have any religious beliefs.

This meal made my heart heavy, and I drove Ling Shengfeng back to his rented house, and then returned to the hotel.

I told Zhao Heizi my analysis, and I am now 50% sure that Father Xue is no longer the real Father Xue, and the mysterious disappearance of the tumor in his brain is an important proof of the change in his identity.

However, as for whether he is a member of the demon organization or not, I don't have conclusive evidence for the time being, even so, he is definitely not a good type, and he is now using various excuses to separate me from Xue Xiaxia, which proves that his position is evil.

For now, I'm continuing to take a still-in-place strategy and see what Father Xue's next step is.

In addition, I can ask Ling Shengfeng to help me inquire about Father Xue's movements from the side, when he left, what he usually did, I asked Ling Shengfeng to keep it secret, if I let Father Xue know that I have a close connection with Ling Shengfeng, it may be very unfavorable to Ling Shengfeng.

On Wednesday, the weather was fine and there was nothing going on in the hotel, so I drove to the bookstore to meet Ma Yuan and talk to him about the book.

I walked into the bookstore, but Ma Yuan was not on the first floor, I was about to go up to the second floor to have a look, two customers walked in at the door of the bookstore, and when they entered the door, they asked loudly if there were any financial magazines for sale here.

I turned around and told them which row of shelves the financial magazines were, and one of them asked me if I was the owner of the bookstore, and I laughed and shook my head and said that I was just his friend and would look at it for him for the time being.
