Hearing the system's buzzing urgent prompt and seeing the ominous black-red warning signs enlarging in his vision, a trace of joy appeared in Su Bai's eyes.
Before he could give orders, Jin Manfu knocked on the door.
"Come in."
Xiao Wanqing's soft and charming voice came. Su Bai, filled with excitement, turned the door handle and opened the office door.
The scene inside the office instantly appeared before Su Bai.
This was an office over thirty square meters in area.
Clean, tidy, spacious, and bright.
Right opposite the office door was a reception table and sofa; on the inner side was Xiao Wanqing's desk and a filing cabinet storing materials.
At this moment, Xiao Wanqing was behind the desk, looking through files.
Beside Xiao Wanqing's desk, facing the window, was a smaller desk where a girl who looked possibly not even twenty years old was working while lying on the desk.
Once, Su Bai thought Xiao Wanqing was already one of the toughest women he had seen. Even at her age, in Little White Building, very few could compare to her.
But, when he saw Xiao Wanqing's cousin... he truly knew what a peerless beauty was!
Her jet-black long hair cascaded down, somewhat messy and draped over her shoulders.
Her exquisite face was like carved jade, making even Xiao Wanqing beside her lose her proper color.
However, what caught Su Bai's attention most was not the girl's looks, but her temperament!
The girl's body seemed unhealthy.
Her beautiful face was somewhat pale, lacking some blood color; her petite body lay on the desk, looking extremely frail.
Even sitting still behind the desk, the girl would occasionally cough twice. Each cough would cause her brow to furrow slightly, as if suppressing bodily pain!
Generally speaking, women in pain often lack color.
But this girl was different.
Even though physically weak, without delicate makeup or lively aura, in this delicate and fragile state, the girl exuded a "pear blossoms with tears, pity upon sight" kind of weakness that made people involuntarily want to pity her!
No wonder Xiao Wanqing never allowed her cousin to go to the entertainment area.
If this girl appeared there and guests saw her, with her incredibly beautiful face and cool, delicate temperament, no one could say how many would go crazy!
While Su Bai was observing the girl, Xiao Wanqing was observing Su Bai.
This youth disguised as Black Crow, with a fierce face and cold aura, Xiao Wanqing had heard of him—after all, Jin Manfu personally brought him, and he caused quite a commotion upon arrival.
Heart Village employees said this seemingly bad youth was Jin Manfu's nephew?
However, after mixing in Heart Village for so many years and seeing countless dignitaries and nobles, Xiao Wanqing's ability to read people was no ordinary comparison.
She could immediately tell... that between Jin Manfu and this cold youth, it was this youth who was dominant!
No matter how much he disguised himself, when Jin Manfu glanced at the cold youth, the reverence in his eyes was instinctive and undeniable!
Xiao Wanqing didn't care about the youth's origins; she didn't want to know the relationship between him and Jin Manfu.
She only knew the way this cold youth looked at Ye Xinying... made her very uncomfortable!
"General Jin."
Her full red lips parted lightly, and Xiao Wanqing's tone was somewhat cold: "If you have something to say, just say it. If not... I still have work to do."
This sentence was superficially spoken to Jin Manfu, but in fact directed at Su Bai.
Before Jin Manfu could speak, Su Bai stepped forward, his gaze fixed tightly on the frail girl, making the originally timid girl even more fearful as she carefully hid behind the computer: "In this world, only I can save her!"
"What did you say?!"
A trace of doubt and shock appeared in Xiao Wanqing's clear eyes, and her tone involuntarily rose somewhat.
Taking a few steps forward, bypassing the desk, staring at this fragile girl like a quail, Su Bai whispered: "If I'm not mistaken, she is ill, suffering from a fatal disease called Deathloss Syndrome, right?"
Deathloss Syndrome is a disease similar to an urban legend.
It is considered an urban legend partly because the number of patients is extremely rare. Even combined worldwide, fewer than ten people have been diagnosed with Deathloss Syndrome.
Secondly, the disease has no external manifestations or internal causes; its only symptom is the continuous loss of vitality, making the person weaker and weaker until death from weakness.
This incurable disease without external signs or internal causes, difficult even to slow down... naturally became an urban legend.
"Xinying... she really has Deathloss Syndrome."
Xiao Wanqing did not refute this; her gaze fixed on the fragile petite girl was full of guilt and love: "Since you already know it is Deathloss Syndrome, you should also know she should not be disturbed."
A smile appeared on Su Bai's face as he said, "I said, in this world, only I can save her!"
"That's impossible!"
Xiao Wanqing was somewhat displeased.
In those years, she had taken Ye Xinying to the capital city of Great Summer country and even to Amaireka.
Even the top hospitals and medical institutions in Great Summer country and Amaireka were helpless, at best only able to slow down the loss of life with expensive drugs... So why did this mysterious cold youth claim he could save her?
"Maybe it's impossible. But as long as we try, we'll know."
Su Bai didn't argue further, only asked Jin Manfu to get a clean syringe and pour a glass of warm water.
When Jin Manfu came back with the syringe and water, Su Bai pretended to reach into his pocket, but actually took out from the System Backpack a Green rare quality [Instant Recovery Potion]!
The [Instant Recovery Potion] was made after integrating a Second-rank Life Crystal Nucleus, containing a large amount of life essence. Even second-rank beings could quickly recover their injuries and stamina with it; ordinary people would recover even faster.
Su Bai didn't know if the Instant Recovery Potion could completely cure the girl, but he knew with absolute certainty it could alleviate her symptoms and prolong her life.
However, the thing is—
You can't pump a weak body full of strong meds.
Su Bai got that.
Just to be safe, he didn't hand the pricey potion straight to Xiao Wanqing. Instead, he sucked up a tiny dose—like, a tenth of the vial—with a syringe, mixed it into warm water, and only then passed her the cup.
"Give it a shot?"
