Two more days passed in a flash, and Yuan Zhuan was still in a coma. The accompanying doctor was getting impatient and strongly suggested that Cao Ming send him to the hospital for a full examination. The nurses agreed.

Yuan and Sun have been spending most of their time in the office these past two days, and they've set up several talisman arrays in Yuan Zhuan's room.

"Grandmaster, I'm so scared." Cao Ming's anxiety on the verge of collapse successfully made Sun Dasheng empathize.

Yuan Sun had almost worn out all the ancient books in his hands, but he still couldn't find a way to wake Yuan Zhuan up, because this little ancestor had no problems with either his body or his soul, so there was nothing he could do.

"Let's take him to the hospital." Yuan Sun could no longer remain calm.

None of them could afford to lose Yuan Zhuan, and since they couldn't find the cause of his unconsciousness, sending him to the hospital was the safest course of action.

During the past few days of training, almost all the security personnel noticed that something was wrong. Their manager, Cao Ming, had a gloomier face each day, while their three coaches trained harder and harder each day.

"What's going on? It seems like President Yuan hasn't shown up for several days." After another round of extreme training, the team members were so exhausted that they lay sprawled on the ground, almost out of breath. "If this keeps going on, I'm going to die for the company."

"Wasn't it the same when you were in the army? Isn't reliving military life what you've always wanted? Now you're complaining about being tired, do you want to quit?" Rossi scoffed at his friend's complaints.

"Resign? No way, no way, I'd rather die than resign! Don't talk nonsense, if the captain hears this, I'm really dead." Upon hearing the explosive words "resign," Qian Pei rolled over, sat up, and his energy returned.

Rossi rolled her eyes, and he knew it.

The benefits and the boss's boldness at Yuan's Security are something their previous employers could never have achieved. Now, they can truly achieve a win-win situation in terms of both dreams and money; it's like a dream come true. No one would want to leave unless they were completely insane.

"Get up quickly, the captain is here." Someone shouted, and the two ended their conversation, quickly standing up straight.

After Wu Tianqing arranged all the tasks, he handed over the training hall to Sun Dasheng.

Both he and Yuansun had to go to the hospital to stay by his side; he would stay by the Yang side, and Yuansun by the Yin side.

No one dared to be careless.

Su Hao left home and ran towards the training hall. He had been delayed by something today and didn't know if the captain would beat him up. He felt ashamed for being late after getting a free pass, but if he didn't have a thick skin, he would never be able to go again.

The thought of not being able to go in the future made Su Hao's head spin.

We must go!

Even if it rains knives from the sky, I'll still go!

only……

Huh? Who is Captain Wu holding in his arms?

As Su Hao entered the alley, he saw his team leader and Coach Yuan Sun come out of the hall with solemn expressions. Team leader Wu Tianqing was carrying someone in his arms. Then, General Manager Cao, with a gloomy face, came out of the hall with a man and a woman carrying suitcases and got into the van in front.

When the team leader helped the person in his arms into the van, Su Hao saw the person's face.

It was so familiar that Su Hao was stunned.

Yuan Zhuan!!

In that instant of stunned silence, Yuan Zhuan had already been placed into the modified guardrail bed behind the business class seat.

Military hospital.

After Tu Du packed up his brother Tu Lin's hospital supplies, he went to complete the discharge procedures.

During their hospital stay, teammates visited every day, bringing them lots of food and fruit. Even though the Tu brothers tried their best to eat, there was still a lot left over, so much so that their bags and packages took up half the bed.

Tu Lin bit into an apple, looking at the packages with a headache, wondering how to pack them without taking up his hands.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in." After saying that, he put the apple down.

With a click, the door opened, and a voluptuous figure came into view. It was an elegant and intellectual young woman. "Squad Leader Tu, hello, I am Qin Xue."

When the woman announced her arrival, Tu Lin's expression darkened.

"You mean, my brother's blood type is the same as your son's, so you need our contact information so you can come and collect blood in case of any emergency?" That idiot Tu Du actually donated blood at the hospital behind his back! No wonder he's looked so bad these past few days. 400! How could he not look bad?! I'm so angry!!

He knew that his younger brother had Rh-negative blood from their father, while he had Rh-negative blood from their mother.

How dare this woman make her brother a blood slave to her son?!

Qin Xue's composed smile almost crumbled under Tu Lin's barrage, but fortunately, her years of cultivated manners allowed her to control her facial expression.

"Squad Leader Tu, that's not what I meant. I came here mainly to express our gratitude to you and your brother on behalf of the Wei family. Your brother's righteous act saved Wei Huan's life. If it weren't for Tu Du's timely blood transfusion, my son might not have made it through this ordeal. My husband and I hope that, if possible, our two families can maintain frequent contact. This way, we can help each other in some ways, which would be good for your and Tu Du's future development."

The Wei family started out making their fortune in military equipment, so they are closely connected with the military. Although they have started making civilian equipment now, the military still accounts for the vast majority of their business, since several branches of the main family hold high positions in the military.

In Qiannan Province, whether you're in politics or business, how many people don't know the Wei family?

If this were any other family, they would be overjoyed to hear the Wei family propose a friendly relationship. But this kid is different; he actually suspects her of having ill intentions.

Although she had some selfish motives for coming here, she also genuinely wanted to give something back. Little did she know that he would be so suspicious.

“Madam Wei, I appreciate your kindness, and so do my brother. But it was just a small favor, and we don’t need anything in return. If you really feel bad about it, please consider the magnitude of our kindness and give us some gold in return. That way, my brother can keep it, and it might be able to help him in a pinch in the future.” Apart from money, the two brothers didn’t need anything else.

"You..." Qin Xue, who had always been pampered, had never been treated with such hostility in her life. She was so angry that her face turned white, and her usual elegant smile vanished.

"Brother?" The conversation ended when Tu Du returned.

Tu Du looked at the unfamiliar woman with suspicion, then at Tu Lin. "It's nothing. Her son is injured and they're waiting for a bed. Have you finished your paperwork? If you have, then leave. It's almost time to get on the bus."

"Huh? Oh, okay." As soon as the train was about to arrive, Tu Du quickly walked past Qin Xue and started carrying his things.

This was also the first time Qin Xue had seen Tu Du.

Tu Lin is handsome and masculine, while Tu Du is exquisitely beautiful; both brothers have exceptionally good looks.

Tsk... Qin Xue was a little jealous. Although she didn't want to admit it, her Wei Huan's looks couldn't compare to these two brothers.

That's just the boss's personality; he's incredibly stubborn.

Thinking about her husband's plans, Qin Xue felt annoyed; she had messed things up.

Although no one in their family had any terminal illnesses, and Rh-negative blood wasn't unavailable, it's always better to be prepared. She had somewhat underestimated Tu Lin's character.

That's true. I heard he was a troublemaker in the army, daring to do things but also daring to say them. He ruined many opportunities to win the favor of the leaders with his mouth. This time he made a contribution, and according to the regulations, he should be promoted. However, some people said that it was suppressed and that they should wait and see his performance.

This time, she made her intentions very clear, both explicitly and implicitly. If it were anyone else, they would definitely have taken the opportunity to climb the social ladder, since having a good relationship with the Wei family is something many people dream of.

However, true to his rebellious nature, he didn't care at all. Judging from his expression, he didn't want his younger brother to know what she had just said.

She returned to the VIP ward, seething with anger, only to find Wei Xun already waiting for her with a smile. The look in his eyes behind his glasses clearly indicated that he had anticipated the outcome.

"You already knew Tu Lin's reaction," Qin Xue said through gritted teeth.

Her upbringing prevented her from rolling her eyes, but she still harbored a deep resentment.

"He's very protective of his younger brother, I could pretty much guess that. So, let's see how things go. Wei Huan and Tu Du are in the same grade, and if nothing goes wrong, they should both go to the same junior high school. We'll switch them into different classes then." The friendship that children build over a long period of time from childhood to adulthood is the most stable relationship.

"You already have a solution, why do you still make me go?" These words, full of resentment, cannot be ignored, even if you try to.

"Didn't you say that the Wei family's reputation works well throughout Qiannan? I'm just showing you that there are others that don't."

Qin Xue: ……

"Tu Lin said, 'Let us repay with gold.'"

"Then go back and look for it, and give it to me as you see fit." Since there's suspicion, then we'll deal with it accordingly.

The Tu brothers were unaware of what the couple was plotting, but Tu Lin's thoughtful silence made Tu Du realize that perhaps the woman in the ward was not what his elder brother had said, and had nothing to do with him.

Because the woman's expression towards him was unusual; she seemed to want to say something to him.

Since my older brother doesn't want him to know, then he won't know.

He secretly imprinted the woman's image in his mind. "Brother, I want to go to the counter to call my friend. I've already told her I'll let her know when I get back," Yuan Zhuan said, offering to pick them up.

"Go ahead, I'll watch the luggage," Tu Lin said with a smile.

Looking at his younger brother's tall and straight back, Tu Lin smiled from the bottom of his heart.

Adu has grown up and made real friends, which is the happiest thing for him.

Adu suffered a lot with him, but he never said anything. He kept everything to himself, which made him worry. But how could his older brother not see the loneliness and pain in his eyes and his longing for that woman?

As the years went by, he finally managed to let go of his feelings for that person, but he always kept to himself and became increasingly withdrawn. No matter how much he tried to comfort and accompany him, it was all in vain.

Unexpectedly, despite his long-term companionship, Adu became increasingly independent and indifferent. His departure to join the army allowed Adu to develop his own circle of friends.

Tu Lin thought that perhaps it was because he was too focused on and eager to help Adu get out of this situation that things backfired.

Letting things take their natural course seems to suit Adu's lifestyle better.

Not long after he lost in his own thoughts, Tu Du returned, though he didn't seem very happy.

"What's wrong?"

"Brother, it seems Yuan Zhuan is in trouble. Her brother answered the phone and said she's sick and in the hospital." As he spoke, the boy's eyes were already red, and his voice choked with worry.

"Adu, don't be sad, we'll be back soon." Yuan Zhuan knew that the little girl Adu always talked about on the phone was a prodigy who could skip grades and beat a bunch of upperclassmen.

"good."

Beiyu City Hospital.

Cao Ming hung up the phone and put Yuan Zhuan's mobile phone into the drawer.

"My little darling, if you don't wake up soon, your little friend will come crying to see you."

The full set of tests was completed, and thankfully, everyone was in good health, even their blood counts had returned to normal. However, they just wouldn't wake up, and the cause couldn't be found.

The factory renovation team kept calling, and Cao Ming made several calls in return, completely disregarding the volume of the calls while in the hospital room.

Wu Tianqing's brows furrowed into a knot. If the person on the bed hadn't genuinely needed to wake up, he would have asked them to leave immediately.

From the moment Yuan Sun entered the ward, he huddled on the sofa, flipping through a thick, tattered book, muttering something to himself from time to time.

It wasn't until late at night that Cao Ming gave a few more instructions before leaving.

Wu Tianqing informed the nurses' station that there was no need for ward rounds that night, and then locked the door.

When the head nurse returned from her rounds, the night nurse came to report, "Head nurse, Yuan Zhuan's family from ward 07 just came over. They said that rounds are not allowed for Yuan Zhuan's patients at night, and that they've already spoken to the hospital director." The young nurse was quite indignant. How could a patient's family be so domineering, not even allowing nurses to make rounds!

The head nurse glanced at the form handed to her, took it, carefully checked each page, and then signed it. "Yaoyao, there's no bell ringing over ward 07, so none of you should go there. I'll let everyone know at tomorrow's morning meeting."

"Huh? Oh!" Seeing that the head nurse didn't want to say more, the nurse didn't dare to ask any more questions and had to put aside her doubts for the time being.

She hadn't been there long and had encountered people with connections before, but this was the first house where room checks weren't allowed.

System space.

Yuan Zhuan's self-imposed slumber caused the system to completely compromise.

“Yuan Zhuan, I was wrong. I should have made things clear to you first. But the penalty system really wasn’t set by me; it was set by the higher-level system. I’m just a system with ordinary exchange functions, and I have no power to resist the higher-level system. Although you’ve used up all your gold coins this time and are still in debt, your merit points have increased by sixty-five.”

"Although the higher-level system punished you, the system space has some independent self-awareness. It only recognizes merit, not cause and effect, so it acknowledges your actions. Now, the space shop has added 12 types of inheritance talismans. As an apology, I've used my life's salary to set a discounted price for you: one merit can be exchanged for one ancient inheritance talisman. These are all things that your Xuanyuan clan lost in the long river of history. Aren't these what your ancestors have been pursuing their whole lives? Have you forgotten? Your father couldn't be contacted for more than two years while searching for ancient traces? I..."

The system spoke at length, but the depths of the space remained utterly silent. It seemed the person had hardened their heart and was determined to perish together with the system.

"Sigh..." The system began to show emotion. "Yuan Zhuan, I only have a little over 150 life salary. This is what I saved up before I started following you. I only got 15 during this time with you. This is what the higher system gives us to use to replace the host and extend the life after the host is in trouble. This time, I exchanged them all for ancient talismans for you. I still have five left, which means we can both live for five more days. You have five days to consider."

After saying this, the system remained silent.

The space remained silent.

For a long time... long enough that the system was ready to be completely destroyed.

"Why don't you leave me? Go find a new host for yourself?"

The system was surprised that Yuan Zhuan would respond, and a bunch of garbled characters flashed on the excited main screen.

"Host? You're finally talking to me! You've finally acknowledged me..."

Yuan Zhuan: ...

If she hadn't been in danger of causing trouble outside if she hadn't woken up soon, she would have continued to scare this damn system for a few more days.

However, she could indeed sense from its telepathic transmission that its energy and spirit were in trouble.

“I have seen too many hosts, but you are the first one who dared to go against the superior system to save people, activated the space’s autonomous consciousness and actively calculated merits, just like you.”
