Chapter 124
After a whole night of hustle and bustle and treatment, it was not until dawn that Li Jitu withdrew his innate power with some fatigue.
Yin Shiwei on the bed looked miserable and sweaty, as if she had been fished out of the water. However, her expression had finally calmed down, and after she was no longer in pain, she fell into a deep sleep.
Li Jitu breathed a sigh of relief. He had finished his research mission early this time just to personally treat Yin Shiwei. Fortunately, he made it in time. He had just returned home when he learned that Yin Shiwei had a relapse. So without even taking a break, he rushed to the Rose Courtyard and worked all night. Her relapse was finally over.
But... this time, Shiwei's condition seemed to have eased, and even the duration of the illness was shortened a lot.
Although Li Jitu was Yin Shiwei's primary therapist, he didn't personally treat every attack. As a master of advanced light therapy, he had trained a professional team of therapists to serve the Yin family. As he aged and had apprentices, he rarely treated Yin Shiwei himself.
The reason he personally used his innate power to treat Yin Shiwei this time was, firstly, because Yin Shiwei had been on the brink of death the previous time, and he was worried about what might happen next. Secondly, Li Jitu had been thinking about the time he saw that little girl use a strange sharp metal to pierce the body, and miraculously save Shiwei. At the time, he thought it was some new method for treating gene collapse syndrome, but afterward, he couldn't help but recall that incident. Thinking about it more carefully, he became more and more curious about that strange method. Moreover, he felt that he had missed something important...
"Ah!!!" Li Jitu just walked out of the Rose Courtyard and suddenly stopped. He slapped his forehead and suddenly realized.
"Teacher, what's wrong with you?"
The group of people following Li Jitu saw him suddenly stop, and they also stopped quickly. One student asked in confusion.
Li Jitu suddenly became excited. With a strange set of sharp metal, that little girl was able to save a patient with genetic collapse syndrome who he had already sentenced to death. Moreover, this time, Shi Wei's symptoms and duration of illness were much alleviated. This... how many experimental results had he seen before, and how could there be such a miraculous effect? Forget saving the patient, most of them couldn't even alleviate the condition. Even if they did, there were extremely strong side effects. On the surface, the onset of the disease was less painful, but in reality, the gene chain broke down more quickly, and the person died faster...
But this time, he personally checked Shiwei's physical condition and found that the speed of the gene chain breaking had not increased. In fact, it was much slower and more stable...
What does this mean? Li Jitu's eyes lit up, his breathing became a little rapid, and he looked up at his disciple behind him:
"What about the little...oh, no, what about the little master?" Li Jitu asked his eldest disciple.
"Teacher, what little master?"
Xu Ze looked at his teacher, whose eyes were shining, and asked him excitedly. He was confused. What little master? He had never heard of it.
"That little girl from last time, the one who saved people with a sharp piece of metal."
Xu Ze: “…”
"Forget it, you nerd, you're not as well-informed as me, an old man! I was just too excited and lost my mind. Why am I asking you? Does anyone else know?"
Li Jitu looked at Xu Ze who had a confused look on his face, and suddenly thought of his last disciple, a real nerd who knew nothing except professional research.
Li Jitu’s inner thoughts: I thought it was pretty good before, why do I feel a little…disgusted now…?
Xu Ze, who was suddenly disliked by the teacher: "..."
"Teacher, are you looking for Miss Mu Jiao who was brought back by the leader?" a female student asked.
"Yes, yes, it's her, the little master. Do you know where she lives?" Li Jitu's eyes lit up.
"Ahem... Teacher, you didn't know since you just came back, but Mu Jiao was found to be a spy. A few days ago, her plot to assassinate Miss Shi Wei was exposed. She was supposed to be dragged to the central square and executed in public, but someone rescued her the night before the execution. She is now missing. The whole city is still searching for her these days, and a wanted order has been issued..." The female student was stared at by the teacher with an embarrassed look for the first time, and she nervously told what she knew.
"What did you say? The young master murdered Shiwei? How is this possible?!" Li Jitu asked in surprise.
"It's true, teacher. Some time ago, Miss Shiwei drank a bowl of soup sent by Mu Jiao's slave, and suddenly vomited blood and fell into a coma. If she hadn't been sent to the treatment chamber in time, she would probably be dead. Later, the guard team detected that there was a poison in the soup..." Seeing that the teacher didn't believe it, the female student recounted the whole story in detail.
"What about now? Any news?" Li Jitu's face turned completely dark after hearing this. He didn't expect that so many things would happen one after another after he had been away for just a short while.
Having lived for most of my life, I am naturally better than many people.
He was a man of insight, and he absolutely did not believe that the young master would poison anyone.
Although I met her briefly last time, I can tell that she is a good girl with clear eyes and righteousness. She looks like a young girl who has not experienced much of the world. How could she poison others? What's more, if she wanted to harm Shiwei, why not just save her last time? Why bother preparing a bowl of poison?
After hearing what the female student said, Li Jitu's face darkened and he stood there for a long time without saying a word, scaring the group of students next to him so much that they dared not breathe.
I wonder what's wrong with the teacher? Last time, he used that girl as an example, telling them with a serious face that they absolutely must not take "unorthodox" paths and must focus on the righteous path. And now, just now, he's suddenly bringing that girl up and calling her "Little Master"? What the hell is going on? The group of students behind Li Jitu, who had been as quiet as chickens, were roaring inwardly.
"Teacher? Are you okay?" Xu Ze realized belatedly that the teacher was in a bad mood and asked.
"I'm fine… I'd be surprised if I were fine!!!" He felt like he'd been on a bumpy starship, plummeting from the heights to the bottom. He'd seen a highly suspected breakthrough in a cure for Genetic Collapse Syndrome, beckoning him, waiting for confirmation. But now… not even a beckoning, the person was gone. Pah… vanished, nowhere to be found… How could he possibly be fine? This was a serious matter! If he couldn't find the Little Master, he might lose twenty years of his life!
With his hopes dashed, Li Jitu was no longer in the mood to carry out the originally planned courses. He simply sent a group of students to investigate the news, and he returned to the laboratory with a depressed look on his face.
