Grew up in an orphanage, with average looks, and worked tirelessly for 30 years, accumulating six million in savings. Just as she finally achieved financial freedom without spending a dime, Su Yan ...
"Jiang Jingxing!"
Su Yan touched his pale face, tears instantly blurring her vision.
The man, who was once full of vigor, was now so weak that he seemed ready to disappear at any moment.
He didn't react at all, lying in bed, extremely vulnerable.
"Jiang Jingxing, please pay attention to me, okay? I've come to Beijing. Open your eyes and look, I've come to find you!"
"Why are you as annoying as my brother? Why didn't you tell me?"
"What will I do if something happens to you? Are you just going to abandon me like this? Waaaaah..."
...
She buried her face in the crook of his neck, suppressing her sobs.
Why do I feel so bad?
Su Yan has always believed that money is paramount, and love cannot shake the importance of making money in her heart.
But when she saw Jiang Jingxing, she suddenly felt that nothing was more important than his being alive.
So, she doesn't like him.
She loves him.
This man, without her even realizing it, had somehow managed to invade her heart.
She only just realized how she felt.
Su Yu turned her face away, forcing herself not to let her tears fall.
The little girl was crying her eyes out, kneeling on the ground in a tiny ball, a heartbreaking sight to behold.
Master Jue quickly said, "Ayan, don't cry. Even if it costs me my life, I will save this boy!"
Upon hearing this, Su Yan wiped away her tears, got up, and said, "Master, I want to work with you to research the antidote!"
Before Elder Jue could speak, Xie Jin said, "But Junior Sister, you're still only a half-baked expert. You can't be of much use here. Why don't you go back and wait for news?"
Xie Jin felt that Su Yan knew nothing and had no experience, so keeping her around would only cause trouble.
Instead, everyone has to consider her feelings.
After a moment of silence, Jue Lao said, "Ayan, the poison that Commander Jiang was poisoned with this time is different from the one your brother was poisoned with. Its power is evident. I have never even encountered this kind of poison before."
There were clues to Su Yu's previous poisoning.
But the poison in Jiang Jingxing's body... there's still no clue.
Su Yan shook her head and stubbornly said, "Master, you all do your thing, I'll do mine. I promise I won't bother anyone."
Xie Jin frowned, about to say something, when Su Yu spoke up, "Let my sister stay; she won't cause any trouble for anyone."
Upon hearing this, Xie Jin had no choice but to give up, but his first impression of Su Yan was not good.
Too stubborn, and doesn't understand anything.
At this moment, Jiang Jingxing on the bed vomited up the medicine he had just drunk again.
Old Jue's brows furrowed even deeper, and he sighed almost imperceptibly, "It's still no use."
He then beckoned Xie Jin and Ye Feixu to the Chinese medicine room. As they left, he looked at Su Yan and said, "Ayan, would you like to study with your master?"
Su Yan thought for a moment, then declined, "No, Master, I won't go in and disturb you and my fellow disciples."
Old Master Jue did not force her.
Right now, she definitely wants to stay by Jiang Jingxing's side.
After Elder Jue left, Su Yan looked at Su Yu and asked, "Brother, can I see his wounds?"
Now is not the time to be sad; she must pull herself together.
She was determined to find an antidote, no matter what.
Her brother is the one in charge here now. If she asked someone else, they definitely wouldn't agree, so there's no need for her to go through the trouble.
Looking at his younger sister's tear-streaked face, Su Yu couldn't bring himself to refuse, and said helplessly, "You see."
"This won't do!!"
The Western doctors present could no longer remain calm.
"Political Commissar Su, although your sister is Elder Jue's last disciple and Commander Jiang's girlfriend, you can't just let her do whatever she wants! She has no experience after all!"
"Yes, if something goes wrong, how will we explain it?"
Before Su Yu could speak, Su Yan shouted, "I don't need your explanations. I'll bear any consequences myself!"
After saying that, she directly removed the gauze from Jiang Jingxing's stomach.
The next second, her pupils suddenly constricted, she froze on the spot, and her hand holding the gauze trembled uncontrollably.
The wound on the man's abdomen was the size of a coin. Most importantly, a thick layer of white pus had formed around the edge of the wound, mixed with rotten flesh. As he breathed, blood would seep out along the wound.
"My God! I just cleaned the wounds this morning, how come so many have sprouted so quickly?"
"Yes, the situation looks even more serious than yesterday."
"Quick, quick, go check if the size of the wound has changed!"
...
One minute later, the doctor examining the wound said, "It's 1.5 millimeters wider."
When Su Yan came to her senses, someone had already helped Jiang Jingxing treat the white pus.
She closed her eyes, pulled Su Yu to a corner, and asked, "Brother, tell me the whole story of how he was poisoned."
Knowing he couldn't escape, Su Yu had no choice but to tell the whole story.
Su Yan's eyes stung with tears.
She turned to face the wall, braced herself against it, her breathing quickened, and she lowered her head, choking back tears, saying, "So he was already injured that night, and I didn't even realize it."
Looking back now, he used to dawdle for a long time before she was about to hang up the phone, but that night he was unusually quick to do so.
Su Yu said with heartache, "This is not your fault. Don't take it upon yourself. Nobody expected the enemy to be so cunning!"
"Brother, I have to save him!" Su Yan wiped away her tears and said earnestly, "I must find the antidote!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a series of uneven footsteps and voices suddenly came from the basement entrance.
It was quite a commotion.
Su Yu patted Su Yan on the shoulder, "I'll go take a look."
He had only taken two steps when the person who had come was already at the door.
It was the leaders of the 61st Regiment and... the embers.
Besides, standing next to Yu Jin was a beautiful young woman, and a man carrying a suitcase standing behind the woman.
"Sir," Su Yu saluted, then looked at the woman, "And this is?"
The leader of the 61st Regiment introduced, "This is Yu Jin's cousin, Song Feiyan. She is a researcher at a foreign virus research institute. She came back from her vacation and learned about Jiang Jingxing's situation by chance, so she applied to come and see if she could help."
Song Feiyan raised her chin, her exquisitely made-up face filled with arrogance.
Su Yu frowned and said, "Leader, Elder Jue and his most outstanding disciple are both here, and even they can't do anything about Song..."
"That's them, not me!" Song Feiyan interrupted him impatiently. "I'm a member of the Virus Research Institute. Don't compare me to those people, okay? Especially traditional Chinese medicine doctors! Traditional Chinese medicine is obsolete; it's like a tortoise!"
"presumptuous!"
A furious shout echoed throughout the basement.
Everyone was startled.
Only when they realized what was happening did they see that Elder Jue had come out of the Chinese medicine room at some point, his face extremely gloomy, and he was furious.
Xie Jin and Ye Feixu also looked coldly at Song Feiyan, who was spouting wild words.
