Two more days passed.

Jiang Jingxing's wound condition has slowed down considerably due to the medicine developed by Jue Lao, but his various physical indicators are still rising, just at a slower pace.

The medicine works, but it's not the right cure.

His condition was relatively stable, but Su Yan's condition was much worse.

Bloodletting and taking medicine were ineffective for her; it was as if her body was resisting them.

The continuous high fever made her extremely thin, and she vomited up the medicine she had just been given in less than five minutes.

Su Yu used a towel to wipe the medicine from her mouth, feeling both distressed and annoyed. "Why are you so impulsive! If you don't drink your medicine, do you want me to just watch you die?"

Guo Ziming has also become somewhat silent these past two days because of Su Yan's situation.

"Master said that Junior Sister consumed a lot of Lola fruit, and since her body is not as robust as Commander Jiang's, the reaction was more severe."

If they can't be fed medicine, what's the point of developing an antidote? Does eating the roe fruit mean certain death?

Jiang Jingxing is still under control, but Su Yan has already escaped control. The poison in her body is worsening and cannot be stopped. Her master is so worried about this that his hair has turned completely white.

Su Yu took a deep breath and looked at his sister, whose breathing was getting weaker and weaker. The anger he had been holding in was about to explode.

He tossed the towel aside, got up, and walked out, saying, "You watch her, I'm going to make a phone call."

Reaching the basement entrance, he picked up Su Yan's cell phone and dialed a number.

It took a while before someone answered the phone.

"Who is it? How annoying!"

The voice that came through was extremely impatient.

Su Yu curled his lips into a cold laugh and cut to the chase: "Madam Jiang, I am Su Yu. You shouldn't not recognize me, right?"

Upon hearing the name "Su Yu," Qin Qin's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately panicked.

She feigned composure and said, "You...aren't you my son's comrade-in-arms?"

"Mrs. Jiang, I'm in a very bad mood right now, so I won't beat around the bush with you." Su Yu's voice was low, laced with an unprecedented ruthlessness and coldness. "What were you planning by telling my sister about Jiang Jingxing?"

"What can I possibly feel at ease with? Isn't your sister my son's girlfriend? How can she not be by my son's side at a time like this? If she truly loves my son, she should share his hardships. It's such a basic thing. If she can't even do that, how can she expect to marry into our Jiang family and enjoy a life of luxury? Why should she? I don't want such a heartless daughter-in-law!" Qin Qin became more and more self-righteous as she spoke.

She believes she did absolutely nothing wrong! She was only thinking of her son!

Why is everyone criticizing her?

Su Yu narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Madam Jiang, you must know about my sister's current situation, right?"

Qin Qin didn't care at all and said, "I know, didn't she eat that fruit? I guess she has some conscience. But even though your family has a political commissar like you, your family background is still too low. You're not good enough to be a match for my son. If they want to get married, I'll have to think about it some more."

In reality, she wouldn't even consider Su Yan!

If she had a daughter-in-law like that, she would be utterly disgraced!

She absolutely would not allow Su Yan to marry Jiang Jingxing.

"Whether my sister is worthy or not is none of your business," Su Yu said calmly. "I'm making this call just to warn you that you'd better pray my sister is safe and sound, otherwise, no matter who you are to Jiang Jingxing, I'll make sure you regret it!"

"What?"

Qin Qin was a little stunned when she heard this, but when she realized what was happening, she couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Oh my, you actually dare to threaten me? Political Commissar Su, what kind of person are you? Do you think you can sit in this position so easily?"

Do you believe that with just one word from the Jiang family, they could drag you into this quagmire and kill you? Yu Jin still has Old Master Yu protecting him, what do you have? Do you really think you're so great? How laughable!

Qin Qin had been domineering and arrogant for many years, relying on the Jiang family's status. She had only ever known fear when others fawned over her.

She didn't even consider someone like Su Yu a threat.

Despite Qin Qin's sarcasm, Su Yu remained unfazed, instead raising his eyebrows with a smile. "I was able to return unharmed and even get promoted smoothly despite the pressure from various families. How many people do you think can do that? It's fine if you look down on me, just wait and see. You'd better pray that my sister is alright."

After saying that, he hung up the phone and looked up at the overcast sky.

The weather in Beijing can turn cold very quickly. Just a couple of days ago there was only a slight breeze, but today we already need to wear cotton-padded clothes.

There are only 4 days left until the 31st, which is the day Su Yan will be reporting to school.

He let out a barely perceptible sigh.

At this moment, Wang Xiaoxin came up from the basement and said, "Political Commissar, Elder Jue has come out of the Chinese medicine room. He's looking for you."

Su Yu snapped out of his thoughts and replied casually, "I'm going back now. You need to do something for me."

Wang Xiaoxin: "Go ahead."

Su Yu took two steps forward and whispered instructions in Wang Xiaoxin's ear.

Half a minute later, Wang Xiaoxin nodded, "Understood, I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"

After Wang Xiaoxin left, Su Yu returned to the basement.

At this moment, Jue Lao was checking on Su Yan's condition.

He hadn't left his room for two days after asking the hospital director for a blood test result, but he's finally come out now.

"Elder Jue, you wanted to see me?" Su Yu appeared behind him.

Old Jue stopped his examination, turned to look at Su Yu, and said, "There's a decision I need you to make."

Upon hearing this, Su Yu felt a bad premonition.

He gave a wry smile. "I guess it's not a good thing."

"It's a mixed bag," said Old Jue. "Ayan's health has reached a breaking point, so I can't wait any longer. I have a prescription for an antidote; do you think we should give it to her?"

"Use it! Why not use it?" He felt that the old man's question was a bit redundant.

Old Master Jue then asked, "Even if the antidote formula contains juice from the 'Lola fruit,' should we still use it?"

These words stunned not only Su Yu, but everyone present.

"Old Master Jue, isn't lavender juice poisonous? How can it be used as one of the antidotes?" someone asked, puzzled.

Old Jue said calmly, “That’s why I said this decision is half good and half bad. I’m only half sure, and the other half depends entirely on gambling. Maybe there will be some surprises.”

Su Yu moved his lips, "What if it doesn't work..."

"I don't know what the consequences will be if it doesn't work, so you should consider it carefully."

When Elder Jue asked Su Yu this question, he had already given it careful consideration.

Su Yan's condition left him no room for further hesitation.
