I was pushed by Luo Bo into Lin Han's hospital room. Chang Dachun had persistently invited an old professor, and several directors were discussing the situation. Upon seeing me, Da Huang silently took over Luo Bo and quietly told me, "See her one last time."
Lin Han was on a ventilator, her life being sustained. The doctors said that a brain-dead person was already dead; even spending thousands of yuan on medical expenses daily was merely maintaining a false semblance of life.

A dead person is dead!
I held Lin Han's hand and whispered, "You promised not to let me go this time, why did you let go first?"
After speaking, I felt Lin Han's hand move, as if she wanted to hold my hand but lacked the strength. This reminded me of her condition in the hospital. She had clearly lost consciousness, yet after I held her hand, she instinctively trusted me, followed me, and escaped that devilish hospital.
"Doctor, Doctor, she moved, she moved."
"Impossible, she's just..."
That doctor probably intended to say that she was brain-dead, and this was merely a spinal reflex.
However, the old professor Chang Dachun had invited immediately walked over and examined the readings on Lin Han's various monitors.
"Ask the family to leave first."
Chang Dachun, Da Huang, Luo Bo, and I were all asked to leave. We couldn't see what was happening inside. At this moment, even Da Huang, who usually loved to joke, couldn't utter a word. All we could do was pray.
The moment I held Lin Han's hand, I felt as if I had sensed her soul, as if she was lost between life and death, unable to find her way home. The instant I held her hand, she sensed me and found her way back.

...
The door opened. Several doctors followed the old professor out in haste. A director walked over to explain the situation, saying, "This is truly a medical miracle. After being a doctor for so many years, I've never seen someone brain-dead come back to life."
I was speechless, only able to cry desperately...
Chang Dachun and Da Huang were similar to me, too emotional to know what to do. Luo Bo was relatively calmer and asked the doctor, "Will Lin Han become a vegetable?"
"No, medically speaking, she has woken up. Although she doesn't have consciousness yet, that's just a matter of time. However, because she was brain-dead, there might be problems with her brain."
"What kind of problems?"
"We don't know that. We'll only know after she wakes up. However, there's one thing I must say in advance: the patient's brain suffered a severe shock. She might become mentally impaired."
Chang Dachun quickly stepped forward to press, "Doctor, is Professor Dong saying the same thing?"
The director gave a wry smile, "Professor Dong is the best neurologist. She's awake now, aren't you satisfied?"
...

Lin Han waking up was good news for us. The possibility of her becoming mentally impaired was just a doctor's assessment. I could feel Lin Han was back!
...
Three days later, Da Huang rushed into my hospital room like a child, shouting at me, "Lin Han, she can be seen now, she can be seen now! She's not mentally impaired, she's not mentally impaired."
When I arrived at the room, Chang Dachun was tearfully talking to Lin Han. However, upon seeing me, Chang Dachun made space for me.
At this moment, I noticed a hint of confusion in Lin Han's eyes as she looked at me. I grabbed her hand, but she forcefully pulled it back with all her might, her gaze turning somewhat cold as she asked me seriously, "Who are you?"
"I..."
I couldn't finish my sentence and turned to look at Da Huang.
Da Huang was also extremely bewildered. He quickly patted Chang Dachun, who looked flustered, "I'll go ask the doctor."
"Brother, don't go. Do I know this person? Did I meet him these past few months? I don't remember what happened in these months. Is he a friend?"
"Sister, don't scare me. What few months? You've known each other for six years. He proposed to you in January. We were all witnesses. He's Tang Nan!" Da Huang couldn't hold back.

Lin Han shook her head, "My head was injured, but I'm not stupid. Six years ago, I didn't like him. I liked my Zhi Qiu."
Chang Dachun was completely dumbfounded, "Who is Zhi Qiu?"
"Brother, can we not talk about sad things?"
Mentioning Zhi Qiu, Lin Han suddenly appeared heartbroken. Da Huang wanted to ask more, but I stopped him and smiled, "Lin Han, hello, I'm Tang Nan, the one who went through the ordeal with you."
After speaking, I extended my hand. Lin Han nodded politely and shook my hand.
We held each other's hands like that, neither wanting to let go first. In the end, it was I who gritted my teeth and released her hand, showing a smile that was uglier than crying, "Since you're fine, I won't disturb you any longer."
"Okay, handsome guy, what was your name again?"
"Tang Nan!"
"Oh!"
Da Huang pushed me. As we reached the door, I heard Lin Han say to Chang Dachun, "That handsome guy's hand was so strange, like it had magic. For some reason, I just didn't want to let go."

Chang Dachun listened, tears streaming down his face. He pursed his lips, not daring to explain.
Da Huang stopped. I said, "Let's go, Brother Da Huang. There will be time. She's alive, and that's what matters most."
The moment I closed the door, I heard Lin Han ask again, "What was his name again? Tang Nan? Why can't I remember his name?"
...
A few days later, I could already get out of bed. I stood before Lin Han's hospital room and watched her through the crack in the door. She was recovering well and often had a smile on her face. Today, Da Huang, in a burst of inspiration, brought those diamond rings, hoping to jog Lin Han's memory. But Lin Han looked at the diamond rings and shook her head, "These aren't mine. But they are real diamonds. Which young master has taken a fancy to me? Is this a marriage alliance? Second Brother, go tell them, business can be done, but marriage alliances are out of the question."
"Alright, alright!"
Da Huang awkwardly put the diamond rings back into his bag. Lin Han thoughtfully looked at her slender fingers, "Second Brother, when you saved me, did you not see the one my Zhi Qiu gave me?"
"No."
Hearing Da Huang say this, Lin Han got angry and pounded the bed, "These pyramid scheme peddlers! I'm so beautiful, why aren't they after my body, but my money? If you want money, just say so, I have plenty."
"Don't get excited, don't get excited!" Da Huang stopped Lin Han with a wry smile.

At some point, Chang Dachun appeared behind me and asked helplessly, "Who exactly is this Zhi Qiu?"
"It's me!" I answered seriously.
"You? When did you get such a nickname?"
"Brother Chang, don't you remember? 'One Leaf Knows Autumn,' your online handle that you chatted about for two months."
"Oh~"
After Chang Dachun suddenly understood, he became dejected again and sighed, "Teacher Wang Ren has already examined Lin Han. She said Lin Han might never recover."
"A lifetime is a long time, Brother Chang. I beg you one thing. After Lin Han is discharged, take the child and move to Xi'an to live, and take care of Lin Han. Da Huang will also be sent to Tianjin to help Brother Pang establish the Tianjin branch. Beijing will be managed by professional administrators."
"Why?"
"I'm going to turn this place into a battlefield for a decisive battle with 'Goblin Forest'."

Chang Dachun said seriously, "I don't object to sending Lin Han back, but I think we should stay and help you. More hands mean more strength."
"No need. All things in heaven and earth are not owned by anyone; all things in heaven and earth are used by me. Without emotional ties, I can do better."
"Alright, we'll always listen to you anyway!"
...
In the afternoon of the same day, I met Teacher Wang Ren.
"Uncle-Master, would you mind checking if there's something wrong with my brain?"
Teacher Wang Ren shook his head, "Regarding your situation, Yu Xiaoluo has already reported it to the higher-ups. The leaders consulted me and asked if there's such a possibility."
I gave a wry smile. There was no other way. After all, using drugs to control people to kill sounded like a science fiction movie; it was too alarming.
"There are only two ways to achieve hypnosis to control someone. First, the person has absolute trust in the hypnotist. Second, the consciousness of the person being hypnotized has been completely destroyed."
"What do you mean?"

"To build another building on the site of this building, the only way is to level the original building to the ground before a brand new building can be erected."
"You mean, if my consciousness wasn't destroyed, they couldn't completely control me."
"The subconscious mind has strong defenses. Even an ordinary person's is not so easily destroyed. They give you medication every day, trying to destroy the instinctual defenses in your subconscious. This defense is related to willpower. Therefore, people like you and Lin Han, with strong willpower, weren't completely hypnotized despite being trapped for over two months."
"Will Lin Han be alright?"
"Lin Han's situation is like this: she was resisting the person hypnotizing her in her subconscious, but she also realized that she wasn't as strong as that person. So, she adopted an avoidance strategy, just like ordinary people use other methods to stimulate themselves after a breakup to stop thinking about their lover."
"Is Lin Han like that?"
"Based on the description you gave, I guess 'Goblin Forest' wanted you to kill Cao Shi. Similarly, 'Goblin Forest' wanted Lin Han to kill you. Lin Han couldn't forget your name, so she chose a substitute and, in her consciousness, made it seem like you had already died."
I listened, dumbfounded, "Can it be done like this?"
"If it were before, I would tell you it's impossible. But it's different now. Lin Han's case is right before us. She suffered psychological trauma and then experienced brain death. Her brain is like a poisoned computer; shutting down, restarting, repairing the computer—this process seems like nothing was done, but a lot was lost. The brain is the same. Don't expect Lin Han to recover. It's already a blessing from your ancestors that she hasn't become a fool."
Hearing Wang Ren say this, I again remembered what Lin Han had said to me: "Hold my hand, don't let go this time."
This novel is first published on Tadu Novel App.
This time I didn't let go, but Lin Han let go!
Perhaps this is fate. In our long lives, we have parted ways once again, but I believe this is not the end. After I resolve 'Goblin Forest,' I will go to Xi'an. It doesn't matter that she doesn't remember me. I believe she remembers the love between us.
