Chapter 403: Lu Yunxiao

The secret base was very spacious. Immediately after the plane parked at a clearing, several individuals with aggressive auras and anxious expressions walked over in a hurry.

“Second Young Master, the Third Young Master has begun to reject all foreign objects starting from the middle of the night. Please go and take a look.”

Lu Jingye’s expression changed at the news.

Zi Yi grabbed his hand and noticed that he was slightly trembling. She hastily said, “Ah Jing, don’t worry. It’s not too late.”

Only then did the few of them notice Zi Yi standing next to Lu Jingye and a trace of surprise flashed past their eyes.

Their Second Young Master had unexpectedly brought a woman here.

Lu Jingye held her hand and pulled her as they strode forward.

While walking, he said to the several men, “Tell me more about Yunxiao’s condition in detail.”

One of the men spoke up. “Everything happened as per usual and we have been infusing nutrients into his body. At 1:45 a.m, his body suddenly revealed signs of rejection and purple spots surfaced in many areas.”

“Did you check the composition of the nutrient solution?” The first thing Lu Jingye thought of was that someone had added chemicals into the nutrient solution and his aura instantly changed, as it became sharp and cold.

“No, the composition is the same as before.”

The news caused Lu Jingye to grip Zi Yi’s hand tighter.

Zi Yi thought about it for a moment and explained. “The brain cells are basically the main system controlling the whole body and with the lack of the most important system, many instructions are unable to be conveyed to other parts of the body, even with the help of the current medical equipment. As time passes, it’s normal for such signs to appear.[1]

The few people who were tagging behind them looked at her in surprise.

Lu Jingye asked, “What’s the worst consequences if this happens?”

“With good medical skills, you’ll be able to allow him to continue on for another 24 hours. If the medical skills are lacking, then since last night, there are chances that he might die at any point in time.”

Her words caused the expression of several people to stiffen.

Lu Jingye gripped her hand even tighter. He was clearly trying to control his emotions and yet, he still asked in a rather calm manner, “Yiyi, do you have any means?”

“Yes, don’t worry. I’ve said that your younger brother will see this dangerous time through.” Zi Yi reassured him.

“Okay.”

Their footsteps hastened even more and they soon entered a white building.

The building was like a boxed-shaped bungalow.

There were wards and laboratories inside and Lu Yunxiao was lying there.

When Zi Yi walked in, she asked him, “Is the building coated with materials that makes it invisible? Are there numerous security systems installed here?”

Her words had surprised the people around her once again.

“Yes. It can protect against a 15 magnitude earthquake and 20 magnitude explosion. In case of special situations, the building will automatically close down and there’s a support system inside that can avoid any monitoring devices.”

Zi Yi nodded her head. From these facts, she could see how important Lu Yunxiao was to Lu Jingye.

The few of them continued heading forward after they entered the building. They headed deeper and deeper, and it was obvious that they had arrived at an underground basement.

After reaching the basement, they continued walking for some time before they arrived at a door.

The people who were following them had stopped in their tracks. Lu Jingye entered a string of instructions in the door and it opened. The two of them went inside.

As soon as they went inside, they were faced with a big hall. However, it was unlike those seen normally, as it was designed as an operating room.

The hall was filled with the most advanced medical equipment around the world. On the left-hand side facing the entrance was a very special transparent cover. Within the transparent cover lay a man who resembled Lu Jingye and there were tubes all over his body.

This person was Lu Yunxiao.

Lu Yunxiao laid there quietly. Even with the most advanced medical equipment in the world, his body was extremely thin. Coupled with the sudden purple patches that surfaced on his body, his appearance looked creepy.

Lu Jingye let go of Zi Yi’s hand and he walked over in large strides.

His hands pressed onto the transparent cover and he lowered his head without saying anything. However, he was shrouded in extreme sadness.

Zi Yi walked over and grabbed his hand. “Go and get Elder Hu to come here, I’ll discuss the process with him.”

Lu Jingye nodded and hastily pressed a button somewhere.

In less than two minutes, they saw a man whose hair had turned half white, with severe dark circles under his eyes. Yet, he appeared to be spirited.

The moment he came in, he saw Lu Jingye and Zi Yi standing over there.

His gaze landed on Zi Yi and he furrowed his brows and said, “Why didn’t you wear sterilized clothes when you came in? What if you brought in bacteria with you?”

Speaking of this, he said to Lu Jingye sternly, “You know that your younger brother is in a special condition right now, why did you bring a girl over?”

Zi Yi was too beautiful and those who did not know her would usually think in a negative direction.

Similarly to right now. Elder Hu felt that it was because this woman was too beautiful and Lu Jingye had been entrapped by her. Thus, he had brought her here.

Zi Yi pursed her lips in dissatisfaction when she heard that. She pointed at Lu Yunxiao lying inside the transparent cover and said, “The purple patches on his body are constantly increasing, you clearly don’t have a single method to control it. Rather than suspecting me, shouldn’t you be thinking of a solution!”

Elder Hu glared at her. “You’re an outsider, what do you possibly know?”

“Outsider?” Zi Yi smiled. However, her smile did not reach her eyes. She then said a series of professional terms related to brain dead symptoms and in the end, she mentioned some problems and the reason behind why the current era was unable to resolve them.

The more Elder Hu listened, the wider his eyes got. In the end, he seemed to be holding his breath and he pointed at Zi Yi, with his face and neck flushed red. “Y-y-you… how do you know so much about this field?”

“I only mentioned the tip of the iceberg and Elder Hu is so excited already?” Zi Yi glanced at him.

Elder Hu’s face was as red as a rooster. However, at the thought that Zi Yi was knowledgeable about the medical field, he simply changed tunes. “Dear friend, the both of us are trying to save Lu Yunxiao as quickly as we possibly can. Why don’t we sit down and have a good talk?”

Zi Yi could not be bothered to waste time on this and said, “Sure, but I have a condition. When the time comes, I will be the attending doctor and you’re to assist me.”

Elder Hu was stunned at first. He was the Mt. Tai[2] of the medical field and no one has ever dared to speak to him like this. Even though he was unhappy deep down, he did not immediately explode. He merely said with a serious expression, “Then it’ll depend on whether you have the skills to convince me.”

Zi Yi started to tell him about the treatment plan she had designed for Lu Yunxiao.

When she mentioned using several specialized medical equipments, Elder Hu who had a shocked expression throughout the entire time, could not resist any longer and interrupted her. “Is it true that the medical equipment you mentioned has been developed in this world?”

“That’s right.”

Zi Yi turned around and glanced at Lu Jingye.

Lu Jingye said, “The equipment has already been delivered. It’s placed in another room.”

Elder Hu slapped his thigh and said excitedly, “Then what are we waiting for? Based on Lu Yunxiao’s current condition, we can’t waste a single minute!”
