487 Strange Patient
Qin Xi walked downstairs and glanced at Han Shi. She looked at Gu Qing and said calmly, “Why are you looking for me?”
Gu Qing tried his best to calm down. He stared at Qin Xi, as if he wanted to see through her. His voice trembled slightly as he said, “You…”
He wanted to ask Qin Xi, “Are you really married?”
However, for some reason, this question seemed to be stuck in his throat and he could not bring himself to ask her. Perhaps he was afraid of hearing an answer that he didn’t want to hear, or perhaps he was just trying to escape.
“Can you help me treat someone?” Gu Qing said after taking a few deep breaths. “There’s a strange patient in the hospital. I couldn’t treat him, so I came to find you.”
If he had known that Han Shi would drop this bomb on him, he would not have set foot here.
“A strange patient? How so?” Qin Xi ignored the pain and sadness in Gu Qing’s eyes, looking no different from usual.
“Everything about this patient is normal, but his brain is shut down. According to the patient’s family, he lost consciousness for no reason. They tried countless methods, but the patient just couldn’t wake up. This special state is very different from a vegetative state. At least a vegetative person has their consciousness, but this patient… is like a body without a soul. It’s very strange.”
Speaking of this, Gu Qing’s expression became serious. “Science can’t explain this phenomenon, so I came to see if you have any clue.”
Qin Xi’s expression darkened slightly as she pondered. “No soul… It’s indeed quite strange. How about this? I’ll go and take a look after breakfast.”
Gu Qing nodded and stood there awkwardly. He wanted to ask something, but because Han Shi was present, he could only force a smile. “Then, I’ll go back and wait for you.”
After he left, Han Shi held Qin Xi’s hand and said in all seriousness, “Xi, who is this person? I think he’s looking at you improperly. You have to be careful. The people in the city are different from those in our village. They’re good at sweet-talking. Don’t be fooled.”
Qin Xi looked at Han Shi speechlessly. “…What are you thinking? He’s a doctor and a friend of mine. He’s not as scheming as you think.”
Han Shi touched his nose in embarrassment and muttered softly, “You treat him as a friend, but he might not treat you as a friend. Also, you have to be wary of him. That man has the potential to be a gigolo. Don’t fall for his appearance!”
“What are you talking about…” Qin Xi couldn’t be bothered with him and walked towards the small kitchen. “Have you eaten? If not, eat with me.”
Han Shi followed her. “Ok!”

The Vitality Water was not effective on these spiritual herbs. After being watered last night, they did not seem to have grown at all. Helpless, Qin Xi decided to return to the herbal field to get more herbs another day.
Since the Vitality Water was useless, Qin Xi could only increase her strength as soon as possible before the mastermind discovered that the herbs were missing. It was best if she could reach the fifth level, which was a major realm.
As for Han Shi and the others, it was best if they could reach the Connate Realm. This way, they would have the strength to help her..

At Qingshan Private Hospital.
Qin Xi got out of the taxi. There were many small cars parked at the entrance of the five-story private hospital. It seemed that most of the people here were rich people!
Just as she was about to walk in, she was stopped by two security guards at the door.
When the security guards saw that she had alighted from the taxi, they looked down on her.
The people who came to Qingshan Hospital to get treated all came in cars with chauffeurs. However, they were definitely not people who took taxis.
