Yu Jin, with a gloomy face, pulled Song Feiyan away from the military region.
No matter what Song Feiyan said or cursed, he didn't respond with a single word.
Only after shoving her into the car and the guard started the vehicle and drove out of the military area did he finally lose his temper and warn her, "Song Feiyan, don't forget how you got into your current unit! I can get you in here, and I can also drag you down and kill you!"
Song Feiyan, who had been cursing, immediately fell silent.
Seeing that he was truly angry, she finally backed down, pouting and saying, "I didn't do anything, why are you scaring me like this?"
Yu Jin closed his eyes, clenched his fists, and gritted his teeth as he said, "What are you doing here today? Look at what you've done! Go back and explain yourself to my grandfather, or your family's good days are over."
Song Feiyan's heart skipped a beat, and she belatedly realized that she was wrong.
"Cousin, I didn't mean it. I just lost my temper. Please give me another chance. I promise I'll do a good job this time!"
Yu Jin didn't even bother to look at her, rubbing his throbbing forehead, and said, "I'm afraid we've already alerted them. You still want to go in there? You're dreaming!"
Song Feiyan's move was a complete failure.
They're more trouble than they're worth.
Su Yu's investigative abilities were terrifyingly meticulous. Given his close relationship with Jiang Jingxing, it was impossible for him not to have informed the leaders of the 61st Regiment about his suspicions.
If he were to go back to the 61st Regiment now, he probably wouldn't even reach the edge of the basement.
"Then, what should we do?" Song Feiyan asked cautiously.
Their family owes its current success entirely to the Yu family.
Even though her mother was the daughter of the Yu family, she still didn't get away with it if she angered Yu Jin and her maternal grandfather.
In the Yu family, girls were never valued.
Ember ignored her and was already thinking about new plans.
The list of candidates recommended for promotion will be submitted soon.
Of the three—he, Jiang Jingxing, and Zhou Yuanqing—any discerning person would know that Jiang Jingxing has the highest chance of being promoted.
Not to mention that Jiang Jingxing earned a third-class merit on this mission, his accumulated merits were already enough for him to skip two ranks. In previous years, it was put on hold because he was too young, but this time it won't happen.
Moreover, he was injured and poisoned while on a mission, and the reason for the injury was to rescue hostages from the enemy.
With Jiang Jingxing around, the higher-ups would never choose him.
If you miss this promotion, it will take at least ten years to wait for the next one...
He can't wait.
Upon arriving at the compound, Yu Jin got out of the car and went straight to Old Master Yu's study.
Song Feiyan remained seated in the car.
After much struggle, she gritted her teeth and said to the driver, "Take me back to the 61st Regiment!"
...
at the same time.
basement.
Guo Ziming delivered the five ancient medical books as quickly as possible.
The moment he saw Su Yan in the Chinese medicine room, he was completely dumbfounded. "Junior Sister, what are you doing here?"
Su Yan glared at him, then turned her face away and ignored him.
Xie Jin raised an eyebrow and said, "I couldn't hide it from her."
Guo Ziming: ...I don't dare to look at my junior sister at all!
He stood guiltily behind Xie Jin, trying to avoid Su Yan's gaze.
Finally, with a somber expression, he took the initiative to explain, "Junior sister, this isn't my fault. I was just following your orders."
Amidst his busy schedule, Master Jue looked up and glanced at him. "Oh, so you mean you want your junior sister to blame me?"
"...How could I dare?" Guo Ziming was extremely frustrated.
Why was he the only one who got injured?
Is there no justice left?!
Old Jue didn't respond; he was flipping through the ancient book that Su Yan had given him.
When I turned to the third book, the contents were indeed about various types of poisons from the island nation.
Moreover, this ancient book appears exceptionally old compared to the other four, with its outer cover tattered and worn, clearly indicating that it has existed for longer than the other four.
Before turning the pages, Master Jue called to his disciples, "All of you come and read this together."
The four of them immediately gathered around.
As he flipped through the book, Jue Lao said, "This is the first time I've encountered poison from the island nation. This is something I haven't taught you. You can find time to thoroughly understand this book later, so that you won't be so aimless when you encounter similar situations in the future."
This ancient book describes each type of poison in great detail, and also includes the recipe for the antidote.
It's not very thick, only a little over a hundred pages.
Halfway through the book, there was no record of a poison similar to the one Jiang Jingxing was carrying.
The further Su Yan turned the pages, the heavier her heart became. She murmured, "Is there nothing there?"
She saw in the records a poison even more serious than Jiang Jingxing's, how could there not be...
"I've got it! I've got it!"
When he turned to the third-to-last page, Guo Ziming suddenly exclaimed excitedly.
Su Yan's eyes lit up, and she immediately looked down.
The next second.
The smile that had just appeared on her face froze again.
Guo Ziming withdrew his outstretched hand and hunched over, pretending to be an ostrich.
"How...how could this be such a coincidence?" Xie Jin stared in astonishment at the page in front of him that was missing half of the record.
The entire book has over a hundred pages, and every single page is intact.
Unfortunately, the page related to the poison in Jiang Jingxing's body was missing half of its length.
This is incredible luck!
Ye Feixu frowned and said, "Judging from the marks, it looks like it was torn off."
"The key is the half that was torn off; half of the record contains the medicinal ingredients for making the antidote," Guo Ziming whispered.
So now, besides the explanation of the poison, there's a line below listing the medicinal ingredients needed to make the antidote. There's a half-page missing at the end, indicating that some ingredients are missing and they still need to prepare them.
After a moment of silence, Master Jue patted Su Yan's shoulder and said, "It's alright, this is enough. Master will definitely prepare the antidote as soon as possible."
Su Yan took a deep breath and said, trying to sound strong, "Okay, let's study it together."
Even though they had a clue, everyone's spirits weren't high.
The missing half-page record seemed to be a cruel joke played on Jiang Jingxing's fate.
Why is this kid so unlucky?
The content of the half-page was not much, and it was quickly understood.
Jiang Jingxing was poisoned with a substance called "Lola Fruit Poison." Lola Fruit is a brightly colored fruit that looks like a small apple, but it contains a torturous poison.
If someone ingests the poison or the juice comes into contact with a wound, the poison must begin to take effect within three days. Initially, the wound will spread, causing a low-grade fever, followed by ulceration, suppuration, high fever, and in severe cases, coma.
The suppuration and ulceration are not caused by the wound itself, but by the flesh inside the wound rotting from the outside. Each time the ulceration worsens, the wound will itch terribly, causing immense suffering to conscious individuals. Those who are unconscious will experience a continuous high fever and convulsions, and even in a coma, they can feel the pain in their bodies. If the antidote is not administered within 10 days, the body will ulcerate and the person will die.
