...

It was precisely because she was at a loss that she had to try all sorts of methods; perhaps a miracle might really occur.

"Let's talk about this later. First, tell me, when did he get this strange illness... Also, where was the last place he went before he got sick?"

However, Qin Fang did not answer directly and instead asked this.

"Does this... matter?"

Chu Yunxuan was also stunned, asking strangely, "I'm not very clear on this, let me ask Aunt and them, they should know..."

"Since that's the case, let's not rush... Have you prepared all the materials I asked you to prepare last time? If we want to save him, we really need those medicines!"

Seeing that Chu Yunxuan wasn't very clear, probably busy with healing and rescuing these days, not knowing other matters was indeed normal.

"They're all ready, I'll have someone send them right away..."

Chu Yunxuan was stunned for a moment, then a hint of a smile appeared on her face. Since Qin Fang said there was hope, naturally there was still hope. As she spoke, she immediately took out her phone and made a call.

Previously, Qin Fang had already asked her to help gather various medicinal ingredients. These ingredients were materials for refining Blood Replenishing Pills and other medicines...

And regarding Wu Jian's current situation, rather than saying it was an illness, it was more like he was schemed against... It's just that the method of this scheme was extremely vicious, an extremely sinister cultivation technique.

This cultivation technique is somewhat similar to the legendary art of yin and yang harvest, except that the person who did it was very powerful and Wu Jian was too weak. The opponent didn't even have the mind to harvest, just used this method to slowly drain Wu Jian's life...

Wu Jian lay there, seemingly unconscious, with no sign of pain on his face, almost looking peaceful. But in reality, he's like trapped in a dream, unable to wake up...

And in this dream, he might be indulging with a celestial-like beauty. Despite not showing any symptoms like a wet dream outwardly, in reality, his body's vital energy was drying up rapidly with each moment of pleasure within...

Qin Fang had noticed earlier that the hospital was continuously giving Wu Jian blood transfusions, but the effect was minimal, not even enough to keep him on life support, as Wu Jian's vital energy continued to dissipate...

"Three days' life? He probably can't even hold on till then..."

According to the results given by Qin Fang's scouting skill, if the symptoms persisted, Wu Jian wouldn't last three days and would directly die—he couldn't even make it through today.

"Luckily, I returned just in time..."

Qin Fang was somewhat relieved. If he had been delayed by Gambling King He a little longer, even if he had returned, Wu Jian's life would have been over.

"Qin Fang, you must think of a way, my aunt only has this one son, you must save him..."

After finishing the call, Chu Yunxuan pleaded with great expectation.

"I have already asked them to send the medicinal ingredients, but from Ninghai to Jiangzhou, even at the fastest, it will take more than two hours..."

The medicinal ingredients were stored over in the laboratory in Ninghai. Collecting ingredients temporarily in Jiangzhou, even with Wu Jian's father being the mayor, wouldn't help, as some ingredients were extremely rare. If Qin Fang hadn't collected them long in advance, it wouldn't have been so easy to gather them.

"Don't worry, two to three hours aren't a problem... I will stabilize his condition first! Holding out through today won't be an issue..."

This time is necessary, even though Qin Fang himself was quite anxious, he was powerless to change it.

However, he could still fight for this bit of time, as he immediately took out silver needles, swiftly sealing Wu Jian's acupoints and guided him into a turtle breathing state.

Although he couldn't directly awaken Wu Jian, the loss of vital energy would slow down to an extremely low level... This was essentially extending Wu Jian's life.

Of course, this also came with its dangers.

Once today is over without a solution, the illness suppressed by the turtle breathing state would completely erupt. If lucky, Wu Jian's condition could be controlled, but he would become a "living corpse". If unlucky, he would directly die...

The delivery of the medicinal ingredients would take some time, but Wu Jian's condition was temporarily controlled and would not deteriorate further for now.

Through Chu Yunxuan's introduction, Qin Fang met Wu Jian's parents. He needed to know where Wu Jian had been, what he had done, and who he had met before being schemed against. Otherwise, even if they saved Wu Jian, it might not be enough to let him completely escape this crisis.

"Xiao Qin, you said someone schemed against Little Jian?"

Mayor Wu was already in his fifties, but relative to his position, he was still quite energetic, and given his role in a major city like Jiangzhou, his future was still promising...

But Wu Jian was his only son, whom he did not overly spoil, even being quite strict at times, but that didn't mean he didn't care.

For instance, with Wu Jian's current predicament, he had no choice but to put his work aside temporarily to do everything he could to save his son...

"Mayor Wu..."

Qin Fang thought about it and decided it was necessary to explain a few things to Mayor Wu. He even speculated that there might be a connection between Mayor Wu and the plot against Wu Jian.

"Since you're Yunxuan's friend, you're like a junior to me, so there's no need for formalities. Just call me Uncle Wu..."

Mayor Wu waved his hand, speaking politely with Qin Fang, trying to build a slight rapport. After all, Qin Fang was currently the only doctor who claimed he could save his son, Wu Jian.

Of course, regarding the exact relationship between Chu Yunxuan and Qin Fang, as an elder, he refrained from being nosy. The most important issue was his son's survival.

"Alright, Uncle Wu..."

Qin Fang didn't hold back either; having this kind of connection could only bring advantages to him, "Let's say, I'm not sure if you've had any recent grudges with someone?"

"Xiao Qin, are you saying... Little Jian ended up like this because of me?"

On hearing this, Mayor Wu was stunned, his expression becoming quite grim. His face showed hints of regret, even self-blame.

"Uncle Wu, don't get excited. I'm merely guessing; it may not necessarily be the case!"

Qin Fang awkwardly explained.

"Grudges? I highly doubt it..."

Mayor Wu Ling frowned and thought, but couldn't think of anyone with whom he could have a grudge. At his level, grudges don't really hold much weight. At most, there might be some disputes arising from political opinions or factional differences.

Yet, such disputes, no matter how intense, wouldn't escalate to harming one's family. That's why Wu Ling had that reaction.

"Uncle Wu, think carefully... and this person might be connected to Japan!"

Qin Fang thought for a bit and kindly reminded him.

It wasn't because he had any personal vendetta against the Japanese; he genuinely had evidence to support his statement...

Earlier, using the Silver Needle technique, he guided Wu Jian into a Turtle Breathing State to temporarily control the condition. At the same time, he used a special method to extract a bit of Wu Jian's essence blood for examination.

The reason Wu Jian was still alive was that his essence blood hadn't completely dried up, though not much was left... Even extracting this small amount took considerable effort for Qin Fang.

But it was worth it because he discovered that the reason Wu Jian was ambushed was due to a special toxin in his blood.

This "toxin" isn't exactly a poison since it doesn't directly kill.

Yet, it is a poison because it's insidious, capable of silencing a person without them realizing it...

Wu Jian's condition was due to this, and the toxin came from a plant known as Bloodthirsty Grass.

This plant is extremely rare, with a very limited habitat as it can only survive at the edge of the Heavenly Pool at the top of Mount Fuji in Japan.

Most people don't recognize Bloodthirsty Grass, and neither did Qin Fang, but that didn't prevent him from understanding its treacherous nature.

Bloodthirsty Grass, as the name implies, has a bloodthirsty nature...

Grinding this plant into powder and having a person inhale it can cause their blood to gradually dry up and die silently...

It's said that the Japanese once used Bloodthirsty Grass powder to ambush Master Huo Yuanjia. Though martial arts experts have vigorous vitality, the efficacy of Bloodthirsty Grass isn't as pronounced against them as it is against ordinary people.

Nevertheless, it caused Master Huo serious injuries, ultimately leading to his death in the arena...

Because the habitat of Bloodthirsty Grass is so restricted and few are aware of its existence, Qin Fang posed the question.

"Japan... could it be him?"

With Qin Fang's reminder, Wu Ling seemed to suddenly recall someone, and his face became rather grim, with a hint of anger lashing out in his eyes...

"Uncle Wu, don't jump to conclusions prematurely. It's just my guess. It would be best if you could investigate the events leading up to Wu Jian's illness. Leave the rest to me..."

Seeing Wu Ling's reaction, Qin Fang quickly advised.

The opposition having such a background and acting out like this implies they have some backing. Moreover, if they're bold enough to harm Wu Jian, they might not hesitate to do something even more brazen.

The Japanese can't be understood with a normal mindset; for some benefit disputes, they're even daring enough to plot against the Mayor of Jiangzhou's son. What's there that they can't do...?
