Awakening the Phoenix Flow System after the breakup, I'm so happy!

He deliberately took a detour, winding his way through the nearby alleys.

The electric vehicle nimbly weaved through the crowds at the morning market and darted into a narrow alleyway that could only accommodate one tricycle at a time.

The van behind was blocked at the alley entrance. The driver honked the horn twice, then reluctantly turned off the engine.

By the time the people in the van got out and chased into the alley, Chen Yang had already ridden to the other end of the exit.

He leisurely turned onto the main road and bought two meat buns from a nearby steamed bun shop as a snack on the way.

When I arrived at the agreed intersection, a black Maybach S-Class sedan was already waiting by the roadside.

Qin Xue stood by the car door.

She wore a sharply tailored black women's suit, her hair styled in an elegant low bun, making her look like a knife sheathed.

A pair of sunglasses perched on his nose, covering most of his face.

Seeing Chen Yang riding over on a shared electric scooter, Qin Xue took off her sunglasses and sized him up.

Chen Yang's attire today was indeed not very presentable.

He wore a faded T-shirt, jeans with mud stains from last night's market, and gray canvas shoes.

"Does Mr. Chen always ride this when he goes out?" Qin Xue's tone was emotionless.

Chen Yang parked the car on the side of the road and took out his phone to scan the code to return the car.

"It's convenient, avoids traffic jams, and saves money. Miss Qin, would you like to give it a try?"

"No, thank you." Qin Xue opened the back door of the car. "Please get in. I've already made arrangements at the hospital."

Chen Yang was about to get on the car.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw in the rearview mirror that another black sedan was slowly pulling over to the side of the road.

It wasn't the same van as before; they changed the car, but the method of tracking was exactly the same.

The car was parked next to a newsstand, with neither the engine turned off nor anyone getting out.

He bent down and squeezed into the back of the Maybach.

The moment the car door closed, Qin Xue got into the car from the other side.

The carriage was quiet, and the leather seats emitted a faint leather smell.

The soundproof partition between the rear seats and the driver's seat was raised.

Mr. Chen doesn't seem too nervous.

Qin Xue spoke first, sitting upright with a manila envelope in her hand.

"When you saved my grandfather at Taihu Villa last time, I thought you were a martial artist. But after checking, I found out that you are Yang Mi's private secretary."

When she said the words "private secretary," there was a subtle implication in her tone.

Chen Yang leaned back in the soft seat and crossed his legs.

"Can't a personal secretary know some medical skills?"

"That's not what I meant." Qin Xue placed the file folder on the seat between the two of them.

"It's just that your information is too clean. After checking, all I can find is information from the last few months. Your previous resume seems to have been deliberately erased."

"Perhaps Miss Qin's investigation is in the wrong direction."

"Maybe."

Qin Xue didn't press further and instead got down to business, "The expert consultation concluded that the parasites in my grandfather's body cannot be removed through conventional means. Currently, we can only keep his vital signs stable, but if a solution isn't found within 48 hours, his organs will fail one after another."

Chen Yang nodded.

"What specific step have you taken so far?"

"My heart rate dropped sharply at six o'clock this morning."

Qin Xue's fingers unconsciously clenched the hem of her suit jacket, but her face remained expressionless. "Although she was saved, the attending physician said that she might not be so lucky next time."

Chen Yang glanced at her.

From the moment she got on the bus until now, every word she uttered was steady and composed, and her posture was upright. Only the slight movements of her fingers betrayed her nervousness.

"When we get to the hospital, I'll check on the old man's condition first."

Chen Yang lowered the car window a crack to let in the morning breeze. "After he was suppressed last time, did he come into contact with anything special?"

Qin Xue thought for a moment.

"After Grandpa was discharged from the hospital, he returned to the old house. The servants said he went through some old things. I don't know the specifics, but I can have someone check."

"Let's check it out first."

The car stopped at the main entrance of the hospital.

Qin Xue got out of the car first and went around to the other side to open the car door for Chen Yang.

This action caught the attention of several security guards at the entrance, who looked at Chen Yang with undisguised surprise in their eyes.

After all, there are very few men in the entire Jiangcheng who can make Miss Qin personally open the car door.

Chen Yang didn't seem to care, and as he walked, he looked up at the towering hospital building in front of him.

Building No. 1 of the Military Region General Hospital.

The red cross on the rooftop was particularly eye-catching in the sunlight.

The glass door opened automatically, and a rush of cold air mixed with the smell of disinfectant hit us.

Qin Xue walked ahead in her high heels, the clattering sound echoing on the marble floor.

As I walked through the lobby, patients and their families queuing to register made way for me.

As the elevator ascends, the numbers change with each floor.

Qin Xue suddenly spoke again, her voice softer than before.

"Mr. Chen, if you can cure my grandfather, my Qin family will owe you a favor."

Chen Yang turned his head to look at her.

"You already gave me your business card last time."

"A business card is one thing, personal relationships are another."

"My grandfather has never owed anyone anything in his life; others have always owed him. If his life can be saved, I can grant you one request on behalf of the Qin family."

The elevator reached the thirteenth floor.

With a ding, the door slid open to both sides.

The corridors of the VIP ward area are spacious and quiet, with gray carpets on the floor that make no sound when you step on them.

When the two nurses on duty at the nurses' station saw Qin Xue, they both stood up and nodded in greeting.

Qin Xue led Chen Yang to the end of the corridor.

Two tall bodyguards in black suits stood at the entrance to the medical facility; they were the same two who had been paralyzed by Chen Yang's finger at Taihu Villa last time.

When the two bodyguards saw Chen Yang, their expressions became somewhat complicated.

Especially the one who was acupunctured last time, who subconsciously took half a step back.

Qin Xue waved her hand.

"Open the door."

The bodyguard quickly opened the door.

The various instruments in the ICU emitted steady ticking sounds, and green waveforms danced on the screen of the electrocardiogram monitor.

The old man lay quietly on the hospital bed, with various tubes connected to his body.

His face was like damp yellow paper, and his lips were an unnatural purplish-black.

Chen Yang walked to the bedside, lifted his eyelids to look at him, and then checked his pulse.

After a while.

"Last time I said it could suppress the symptoms for half a month, right?"

Qin Xue nodded.

"It's only the fifth day now." Chen Yang withdrew his hand and turned to look at Qin Xue.

"During the few days your grandfather was back home, did he come into contact with any ancient artifacts of unknown origin, especially bronzes?"

Qin Xue was stunned.

"That's right. The maid just told me that Grandpa looked at some old antiques."

Chen Yang pointed to the unconscious old man, "When I diagnosed him last time, there were only three poisonous worms in his body. Now there are two more, and the two new ones were obviously artificially accelerated."

"This method is exactly the same as the one used by the poisoner at Taihu Villa last time, or even more ruthless."

"They planted a worm queen inside your grandfather's body. As long as the worm queen is still there, other poisonous insects will keep crawling into his body."

Qin Xue's expression finally changed.

"Then what should we do?"

Chen Yang didn't rush to answer.

He recalled the section on poisonous insects from the newly acquired "Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica" and quickly browsed through the relevant records about insect mothers.

The spiritual spring water in the spiritual spring space has the effect of curing all poisons. When combined with internal energy massage, it can theoretically force out the worm mother.

But this takes time, and the process is quite dangerous.

Just then.

A series of noisy footsteps came from the other end of the corridor.

The nurses at the nurses' station were trying to dissuade someone in a low voice, but they were shouted back by a gruff voice.

"I was one of Old Master Qin's old subordinates. Who gave you permission to stop me? Don't you have any manners?"

The ward door was pushed open.

A middle-aged man wearing a military green shirt strode in, his hair neatly combed and a gold watch on his wrist.

Behind him followed an old man carrying a medical kit, with gray hair, wearing a Zhongshan suit, and an arrogant face.

The middle-aged man frowned immediately upon seeing Chen Yang.

"Xiaoxue, who is this?"
