Grocery Store No.514

In Yan Yu’s ward, Jiang Chengyan tells the information he took from his phone, “based on the records on it, he should have died of congenital heart disease.”

Ling Hua’an looked at Ma Xiaohan, who was in a depressed mood, and asked, “Xiaohan, did you remember something?”

Ma Xiaohan nodded and said, “en, I used to take medicine often. There was always a voice shouting ‘take medicine, take medicine’ in my ear.”

“Congenital heart disease, unless found a suitable heart transplant, generally they don’t live long. Many people die before reaching adulthood.” Ling Hua’an paused and said, “Xiaohan, you don’t need to be sad. Death is not the end but the beginning of another reincarnation. When you are reincarnated, you will have a different life. In that life, you may have a healthy body, a happy family, and possibly everything.”

Ma Xiaohan’s eyes instantly lit up, and he said, “Is everything you said true?”

Ling Hua’an said frankly, “It’s true that you will have a new life. As for what it will be like, I’m not sure.”

“I see.” Although Ma Xiaohan was a little disappointed, there was still excitement in his eyes.

Ling Hua’an looked at Jiang Chengyan and said bluntly, “Captain Jiang, I still need you to check Ma Xiaohan’s information. Also, I want to contact his parents.”

“Okay, I’ll call Li Tong now.”

Jiang Chengyan took out his mobile phone and called Li Tong, asking him to investigate Ma Xiaohan’s identity information. He received a piece of information in his mailbox without much effort.

“Ma Xiaohan’s father is called Ma Donghai, his mother is called Qiao Hui, and Ma Donghai’s phone number is 131****0938.”

“Ma Donghai?” Yan Yu frowned and said, “Is he from Yan Company?”

Jiang Chengyan was startled, looked at the information on the document, and said, “Yes, he does work for the Yan Group. He is the general manager of Yan Hotel.”

“It’s really him.” Yan Yu’s brows frown even tighter.

Ling Hua’an looked at Yan Yu and asked, “What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with this Ma Donghai?”

“I found out that there is a problem with the hotel’s accounts. I have been checking accounts before, but I got into this car accident just after I checked on it.”

“Your suspicious target is Ma Donghai?”

Yan Yu nodded and said, “en, I suspect Ma Donghai and the accountant made false accounts together, but there is no evidence yet.”

Ling Hua’an looked at Ma Xiaohan and saw that he didn’t respond, so he couldn’t help frowning slightly. Then he remembered that he didn’t have any memory of his life, so he felt relieved. He handed the phone to Jiang Chengyan and said, “Captain Jiang, you can call Ma Donghai. I’ll talk after you connect.”

“Okay.” Jiang Chengyan called Ma Donghai, then handed the phone back to Ling Hua’an.

“Hello, who is it?” Ma Donghai’s voice was a little hoarse.

“Is this Mr. Ma? My surname is Ling. I’m Xiao Han’s patient friend. I want to pass on some of his things to you. Do you have time?”

“If it’s not something you have to hand over, you can leave it as a memory.”

“Xiaohan told me before he died that if he couldn’t survive this time, he asked me to pass it on to his family. Xiaohan told Mr. Ma’s cell phone number.”

“Okay, where are you now? I’ll come over to find you.”

“I’m at the hospital. If Mr. Ma has time, let’s meet at Guangde Tea House opposite the hospital in half an hour.”

“Okay, I’ll pack up and go.”

Ling Hua’an hung up the phone, looked in Yan Yu’s direction, and said, “Yan Yu, you hurt your leg, and I can’t help you much. It’s too tiring for Sister Zhang to take care of you alone. Let’s hire a nurse.”

“Okay, Sister Zhang will come over later, and I’ll ask her to look for it.”

“Let’s meet Ma Donghai first. Tell Zhang Mian to pick me up tomorrow morning, and I’ll go to the Haunted Hotel.”

“The money problem is already settled, so there’s no hurry about the hotel. You can go back after a few days of recovery.”

“Listen to me.” Ling Hua’an made the decision sharply, stood up, and said, “I gave the pendant to carry with you, get well, and leave the hotel matter to me.”

Ling Hua’an got out of the hospital with the help of Jiang Chengyan, went directly to Guangde tea house opposite the hospital, and ordered a private room according to Ling Hua’an’s instructions. Two people and a ghost went upstairs together. Jiang Chengyan helped Ling Hua’an to sit down and looked at his pale face. He worried and asked, “Hua’an, your face looks is not good. Is your wound hurt again?”

“I’m fine. After all, I lost so much blood, and it’s normal to look a little pale. Captain Jiang, go back to the police team. Before he calls the police, don’t get involved in this matter.”

Jiang Chengyan understood that Ling Hua’an was good to him. After all, he was a police officer on the criminal investigation team. If people knew that he also followed feudal superstitions, there would definitely be trouble.

“But you’re alone. I’m not uncomfortable with it.”

Ling Hua’an squeezed Jiang Chengyan’s palm, and said comfortably, “I’m not alone, isn’t there Ma Xiaohan with me? Don’t worry, Captain Jiang, I won’t let myself have an accident again.”

“Give me your phone.”

Ling Hua’an didn’t ask any further and handed the phone to Jiang Chengyan.

“Hua’an, unlock the lock screen.”

“Your birthday.”

Jiang Chengyan was stunned, followed by his reaction before clicking with his birth date, and the screen really unlocked. He couldn’t help raising the corner of his mouth, opened the address book, found his name, and dialed it out. The phone in his pocket vibrated. He took it out, clicked the answer button, and said, “The phone remains connected. I’ll find an empty room next door to hide so that if something happens, I can come over as soon as possible.”

Ling Hua’an felt both moved and helpless, “Captain Jiang, you only took a morning off.”

“Nothing is happening in the team now, so I can ask for leave again.”

“Okay, I will listen to Captain Jiang. It will be bad to bump into him later.”

Jiang Chengyan turned around and walked out the door. Ma Xiaohan asked curiously, “Uncle, you and that police uncle are good friends?”

Ling Hua’an nodded and said, “En, very good friends.”

“I really envy you…“ After Ma Xiaohan finished speaking, he was stunned for a while, then recovered and said sadly, “I didn’t have any friends before.”

“When you die, this life is over. What you need to see is the future. There is no need to dwell on the past.”

“Uncle, although I don’t quite understand what you said, thank you anyway.”

Before Ling Hua’an could reply, the private room door was knocked on, and he replied, “come in.”

The room door was pushed open, and a man in his thirties walked in. Ling Hua’an had been observing Ma Xiaohan’s reaction and found that Ma Xiaohan’s face appeared blankly, staring blankly in the direction of the door.

“Is this Mr. Ling?” It was the same voice as  Ma Donghai’s voice from the phone.

“Yes, Mr. Ma, please have a seat.” Ling Hua’an stood up and looked in the direction of the door.

The door was closed, followed by footsteps, and Ling Hua’an guessed Ma Donghai’s position from Ma Xiaohan’s sight until the other party stood opposite and said, “Mr. Ling, sit down.”

“Mr. Ma, I’m sorry, I’m blind, so please forgive me for my thoughtlessness.”

Ma Donghai subconsciously waved his hand in front of Ling Hua’an’s eyes, then reacted and said, “Mr. Ling, what did Xiao Han give you? You can take it out now.”

Ling Hua’an said bluntly, “I met Xiaohan in the hospital, and although not for a long time, we are considered very good friends. I was very sad to hear that he passed away, and at the same time, I was a little unsure about the cause of his death. Mr. Ma, did Xiaohan really die of illness?”

Ma Donghai was stunned, then reacted and said, “Mr. Ling, what do you mean by that? Do you know something? Could it be that the doctor made some mistake during the rescue?”

Ling Hua’an asked instead of answering, “Mr. Ma, do you still want to see Xiao Han?”

Ma Donghai was stunned again and asked blankly, “Mr. Ling, what exactly do you want to say?”

Ling Hua’an placed the bull’s eye tear on the table and said, “Mr. Ma, all you have to do is put a drop of this and wipe it on your eyelids, and you will be able to see Xiao Han again. Of course, if you are willing to see him.”

Ma Donghai looked at Ling Hua’an and then looked at the vial on the table. If it were okay, he would have picked up the tea on the table, splashed it on the other side, and then cursed ‘liar’, but today he hesitated. 

Ma Xiaohan was diagnosed with congenital heart disease at a very young age. Ma Donghai has always cared for him, spoiling him like a baby. He tried his best and still failed to keep his son. The reason why Ma Xiaohan’s body is still in the hospital morgue, one that there are still procedures to be completed, and the second is that he didn’t dare to face the fact that he lost his son.

Ling Hua’an could not see Ma Donghai’s expression but could imagine his struggle at the moment. With the change of emotions on Ma Xiaohan’s face, he could judge Ma Donghai’s final decision.

Ma Donghai picked up the vial in Ma Xiaohan’s expectant gaze, put a drop on his eyelids, and when he opened his eyes again, he saw Ma Xiaohan standing beside him. He wanted to rub his eyes in disbelief but stopped in fear and looked at the son in front of him with wet eyes. He choked and said, “Hanhan, really…is it really you?”

Father and son are linked, and although Ma Xiaohan’s impression of Ma Donghai is still very fuzzy, he still can’t help but shout ‘Dad’.

The cry of ‘Dad’ made Ma Donghai’s tears flow instantly. He reached out to hug Ma Xiaohan, but his arm went straight through his body, and he was stunned.

The room suddenly became quiet. Ling Hua’an seemed to have seen everything that happened just now and explained, “Mr. Ma, Xiaohan is dead. What you see is his soul. Ghosts and mortals cannot touch.”

“Dad.” Ma Xiaohan shouted again.

Ma Donghai’s emotions completely collapsed, looking at Ma Xiaohan, crying bitterly,”Hanhan, I’m sorry. Dad is useless… Dad couldn’t save you, Hanhan, I’m sorry…”

“Dad, don’t cry, Hanhan doesn’t hurt anymore, Hanhan is fine now, and I don’t need to take medicine anymore. Don’t cry…” Ma Xiaohan also whimpered, but he was a ghost and couldn’t shed tears.

“Okay, Dad won’t cry. Hanhan, don’t cry too.” 

Although he said that, Ma Donghai felt even sadder when he heard what Ma Xiaohan said, and his tears couldn’t stop flowing out.

Ling Hua’an sighed and said, “Mr. Ma, although the father-son bond between you two is over, Xiaohan can still reincarnate and start over his new life. In this life, he has gone through hardships, and in the next life, he may be able to get his happiness. So Mr. Ma doesn’t need to be so sad.”

“Reincarnation? Mr. Ling, is there really a thing such as reincarnation?” Ma Donghai looked at Ling Hua’an expectantly.

“Yes, but because Xiao Han died in vain and has grievances in his body, he cannot be reincarnated for the time being. He must find out the truth and dissolve the grievances in his body before he can return to the underworld and start a new life.”

“Died in vain? “Ma Donghai looked at Ling Hua’an in shock and said, “Mr. Ling, didn’t Hanhan die of illness?” Is it medical malpractice?”

The author has something to say.

There are many kinds of heart disease, and Ma Xiaohan’s is the most difficult to treat.

I’ve been sick for the past two days and have a hard time every day, but I still have a little draft left, so I hope I can get better soon.
