One day later.

Su Yu brought back the Lola fruit.

The lavender fruit has a bright red exterior, looks like a tomato, and is exceptionally translucent, making it very tempting.

However, lavender is from an island nation and is not easy to find; I only brought back four.

Su Yan took two and then locked herself in the Chinese medicine room.

For a whole day and night, she neither ate nor drank, and except for one trip to the toilet, she did not leave the Chinese medicine room.

Apart from Su Yu, who was a little worried about her, everyone else was in a slump.

Jiang Jingxing has been poisoned for eight days now, and time is running out. The antidote still hasn't been developed, and the atmosphere on site is inevitably tense.

The Western doctors had no choice but to administer medication to Jiang Jingxing, as they had to disregard everything else.

After only a few days of research, the president of Peking Union Medical College Hospital reappeared in the basement with noticeably whiter hair.

After administering the newly developed medicine to Jiang Jingxing, the dean walked to Elder Jue's side and asked, "Elder Jue, are you still clueless?"

Given the dean's age of 50 and his status as an elder, it is only right that he be addressed as "you."

Old Man Jue didn't even look up, his gaze fixed on Jiang Jingxing's direction, looking as if his soul had been ripped out.

Seeing this, the dean looked at Guo Ziming with a puzzled expression.

Guo Ziming pursed his lips and explained, "Dean, Master has been in this state since yesterday, just like my junior sister. He's either in the Chinese medicine room or sitting here watching Commander Jiang absentmindedly. I suspect they're both about to go mad!"

"Your junior sister?" The dean had almost forgotten.

"She's Political Commissar Su's sister, and Regiment Commander Jiang is her boyfriend. The day she came back from Laurago, she went crazy, not eating or drinking, and started researching. Don't you think she's playing with her health?"

"Third brother, junior sister is worried about Commander Jiang," Xie Jin said, frowning.

Aside from the Jiang family, Su Yan was definitely the one most worried about Jiang Jingxing.

Upon hearing this, the dean thought for a moment and then walked towards the Chinese medicine room.

When he got to the door, he knocked, but no one answered.

The dean simply pushed the door open and went inside.

The instant he looked up, his pupils constricted sharply, and he suddenly shouted in a panic, "What are you doing?!"

Su Yan was stunned, not expecting anyone to suddenly barge in, and stood there dumbfounded, holding the half-eaten llama fruit.

Those who heard the dean's voice rushed over and were completely dumbfounded by what they saw!

Xie Jin and Guo Ziming squeezed through the crowd.

Seeing the juice on Su Yan's lips and the half-eaten llama fruit, he instantly knew what had happened.

Guo Ziming was furious, his face turning ashen. He rushed forward, slapped the fruit out of her hand, grabbed her shoulder, and roared, "Junior sister, are you crazy? You'd risk your life for Jiang Jingxing?"

Su Yan was a little confused.

She has indeed gone a bit mad.

These past few days, all I can think about is the antidote formula and the lavender.

She racked her brains but couldn't figure out what went wrong, so she decided to try the lavender fruit herself, hoping that the juice might contain some kind of ingredient.

She originally intended to finish eating before opening the door, but the dean barged in.

At this moment, Su Yu, having finished his work, came to the basement.

When I came down, I saw a group of people gathered at the entrance of the Chinese medicine room, and the atmosphere was not good.

A sense of foreboding suddenly rose in his heart.

"What are you all doing here?" he asked, quickening his pace as he walked over.

When people saw him, their expressions were hesitant, as if they wanted to say something but couldn't.

Xie Jin looked at Su Yan with a deep gaze, took a deep breath, and said to Su Yu, "Junior Sister... she ate a laurel fruit."

Su Yu's blood froze, and the expression on his face changed from confusion to shock.

He took a step back in disbelief and laughed, "Are you kidding me? How could my sister do such a thing?"

How could Ah Yan, who is so calm and composed, possibly do something so impulsive?

"Go in and take a look," Xie Jin said, unsure of what to say. "I'll go find my master."

In fact, based on the behavior of those present, Su Yu already knew that Xie Jin had not lied to him.

He closed his eyes briefly, suppressing his emotions, and strode inside.

Su Yan had just recovered from Guo Ziming's questioning when she met her brother's cold eyes, which seemed to be brewing a storm.

She panicked immediately, stood up from her chair, and said, "Brother, don't be angry, I can explain!"

She was not afraid of her three senior brothers, nor was she afraid of her master.

But when she faced Su Yu, thinking about how sad and angry he would be, she was afraid.

Perhaps this is a suppression stemming from bloodline.

Perhaps she was afraid that Su Yu would be disappointed in her, and she was afraid of losing this family bond.

Su Yu stared at her, his eyes gradually turning red, and he gritted his teeth as he said, "No reason is justified for you to hurt yourself! Su Yan, I really underestimated you!"

"I...I..." Su Yan was speechless.

Seeing her brother's face flush red at a visible speed and hearing the disappointment and anger in his tone, she couldn't utter a single word in her defense.

"I just want to try the juice of the lavender; maybe I'll discover something new."

"Foolish!" Old Jue stormed in from outside, looking at the disheveled Su Yan with both heartache and anger. "The juice can be extracted and tested. How could you do such a despicable thing! What if we really can't find an antidote? Are you planning to die with Jiang Jingxing?"

Did you think about your family when you did this? Did you think about your teacher? If something happens to you, how will your brother explain it to your mother? How can you face them? How can you face yourself?

If Xie Jin hadn't told him, he would have been completely unaware!

The old man's accusations made her think much more clearly.

Su Yan lowered her head in shame, tears streaming down her face. "Master, brother, I'm sorry, I know I was wrong..."

Despite his burning anger, Su Yu couldn't bring himself to yell at her because of her pitiful state.

He raised his hand and pinched his throbbing forehead, then asked, "Elder Jue, how confident are you?"

Su Yan was his only sister, and he could never lose her.

Old Jue gritted his teeth, "No matter how confident I was before, I must be 100% confident now!"

If he can't even save his own disciples, what kind of master is he?

Ultimately, Su Yan was arranged to receive treatment next to Jiang Jingxing.

She turned her head to look at the gaunt man beside her, and her restless heart, which had been agitated for many days, suddenly calmed down.

Do you regret it?

Actually, there is one.

She felt sorry for the people who loved her, but at the same time, she couldn't accept that the people she loved were leaving her.

Su Yan's physique is not as good as Jiang Jingxing's.

Within three hours, he developed a high fever, which made him delirious and confused.

She felt as if thousands of ants were slowly devouring her body, making it increasingly difficult to breathe, and her strength was being constantly drained away by her fever.

She was in so much pain that she had suicidal thoughts.

So that's how he's been getting by these past few days.
