Chapter 863: Spirit Spring Water Saves a Life

He Yuzhu said nothing more, hung up the phone, and sat down on a chair at the entrance of the operating room.

He tilted his head back, stared at the incandescent light on the ceiling, and muttered to himself over and over: Man Yatou, you have to hold on for me. Our enterprise is still counting on you.

To tell the truth, in all the years since He Yuzhu transmigrated here, he had never been this panicked. He had lived an easy life, and the reason he got the chip industry off the ground was because of people like Man Yatou—not only did she inherit the knowledge from his previous life, but she could also develop it further on her own. Without her, he truly didn't know who he would find to take over.

Just as he was thinking this, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck his mind—didn't he still have Spirit Spring Water in his space?

He had been drinking this water for years and had his family drink it too. When his mother was young and gave birth to He Yushui, she was left with a body full of ailments, but after years of drinking Spirit Spring Water, she was nearly eighty and her body was as sturdy as a sixty-year-old's; all her problems were gone.

He hurriedly shouted to the system in his mind: "System, can you concentrate that Spirit Spring Water in my space for me? I need to save someone, their life is almost gone. This person is too important to me, you have to help me."

The system replied instantly: "Host, you've never mentioned this in all these years. Spirit Spring Water is indeed useful for a patient's recovery, and the effect is more obvious if it's concentrated. But if you want that kind of extreme concentration, you have to trade gold for it."

"I'll pay whatever it costs! I just want that concentration that can make someone recover rapidly."

As soon as the words fell, with a "ding-dong" sound, a ton of gold in his space vanished instantly.

He Yuzhu cursed in his heart: This system is truly unscrupulous.

But the next second, a glass bottle appeared in his space, the water inside crystal clear; it looked extraordinary.

He Yuzhu was incredibly excited. He walked quickly out of the corridor, found a secluded corner, and asked again: "System, can I soak a ginseng root in the water? If I just take a bottle of water, the doctor will definitely be suspicious."

The system answered crisply: "You can. You have Centennial Korean Ginseng in your space; put it in, it won't affect the effect of the Spirit Spring Water."

He Yuzhu thought to himself, this system sure talks big, saying it "won't affect the effect."

But he couldn't afford to overthink it and stuffed the ginseng directly into the bottle.

When he returned to the corridor, Jiang Mei was standing at the door with a pale face.

Liu Suman had already been pushed out by two nurses; she was still unconscious, covered in tubes, and wearing an oxygen mask.

He Yuzhu handed the bottle of water with the ginseng to Jiang Mei, leaned into her ear, and lowered his voice: "No matter what method you use, hurry and get Man Yatou to drink this bottle of water."

Jiang Mei had always known that He Yuzhu had some unknown abilities, and seeing the ginseng soaking in the water, she didn't ask any more questions, nodding: "Technically she shouldn't be drinking water right now... but Brother, I trust you."

Liu Suman was pushed into the intensive care unit. Outside the door, seven or eight Bodyguards in black stood in a row, and there were two officers from the Public Security Bureau guarding as well.

Jiang Mei pushed the door open and went in, glanced at the young nurse by the bed, and said softly: "You go out first, I want to stay with her alone for a while."

The young nurse nodded and retreated silently.

Jiang Mei took a small baby bottle out of her pocket, which contained the Spirit Spring Water He Yuzhu had given her.

She unscrewed the cap, brought it to Liu Suman's lips, and squeezed it into her mouth little by little.

At first, Liu Suman had no reaction at all. Her face was as white as paper, and there wasn't even a hint of color on her lips.

Jiang Mei's palms were sweating with nervousness—she knew what she was doing was against the rules, but she just believed that He Yuzhu wouldn't harm anyone.

After half the bottle was squeezed in, an unusual change occurred.

Liu Suman's previously expressionless face suddenly furrowed its brows, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, as if she were enduring immense pain.

Jiang Mei's hand shook, and she nearly dropped the bottle.

But immediately after, that pained face slowly relaxed again, the brows smoothed out, and the corners of her mouth even carried a trace of serenity.

A few minutes later, something even more incredible happened.

Liu Suman's complexion, from the deathly pallor caused by excessive blood loss, began to flush with a rosy hue bit by bit—just like a drop of cinnabar dripping onto rice paper, slowly spreading out.

Her breathing also became steady and strong, and the rhythm of her chest rising and falling became much more even.

Jiang Mei widened her eyes, staring at the baby bottle in her hand in disbelief: "Is this Millennium Ginseng? It doesn't look like it... Siqiang once said that Millennium Ginseng can truly extend a life..." She paused, then sighed, "Brother Zhuzi has really gone all out this time; he probably saved this ginseng to save his own life, and yet he actually took it out this time."

Ten minutes later, Jiang Mei began to check the numbers on the monitors by the bed—heart rate, blood oxygen, blood pressure.

She looked at them one by one, and the more she looked, the brighter her eyes became. Compared to ten minutes ago, it was as if she were a different person.

She walked quickly out of the ward.

At the end of the corridor, He Yuzhu was leaning against the wall smoking.

Seeing her come out, he immediately stubbed out the cigarette and went up to meet her.

"Brother Zhuzi!" Jiang Mei's voice was clearly happy, "This Korean Ginseng you gave me, it looks like it's only a hundred years old, how is the effect so great?"

He Yuzhu smiled: "This ginseng has a history; I dug it up during the Korean War, and it's stained with my blood! Therefore, it is different from the rest."

Jiang Mei was half-convinced after hearing this, but the effect was right there and undeniable, so she smiled bitterly: "Brother Zhuzi, Liu Suman is saved."

As she finished speaking, tears wouldn't stop falling.

She and Liu Suman had always been close.

He Yuzhu had a habit: whenever he considered someone a friend, he would gather them together to eat a few meals every year, and over time, these friends had also formed ironclad relationships with each other.

So Jiang Mei's anxiety for Liu Suman was sincere and genuine.

He Yuzhu patted her shoulder and asked in a deep voice: "How much certainty do you have now? Can Man Yatou recover and be healthy?"

Jiang Mei wiped away her tears and thought for a moment: "Before, I thought at most four or five out of ten, but now... I feel it could be seven out of ten."

He Yuzhu nodded, his gaze sinking as he looked toward the window at the end of the corridor: "Fine. I'll wait here for two more days. Two days later, I will drag those people who tried to assassinate her out one by one."

Two days later, Liu Suman finally left the danger zone.

He Yuzhu breathed a sigh of relief, but didn't dare to be careless; he brought in several more experts to guard outside the ward, layer upon layer, so that not even a fly could fly in.

He himself ran to the command center of the Public Security Bureau.

Tian Dan had been keeping watch there for the past few days.

"Dan, I want to go into the mountains to find them." He Yuzhu requested to join the fight directly.

Tian Dan pointed to the map and said: "These people are very cunning; they have been hiding in Si Jiu Cheng since the incident. This morning they suddenly drove north. Our people chased after them, they opened fire and wounded several of our men, and they entered the mountains right there near Xiahuayuan."

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and said: "Decades ago I fought in that area, I know it very well. I want to go into the mountains to find them."

Tian Dan cautioned: "Be careful, they should have people meeting them in the mountains; this was a retreat route planned in advance."

He Yuzhu was puzzled: "Technically they should have run south, why did they go north instead?"

Tian Dan shook her head: "I can't figure this out either. But these few people have the faces of people from Southeast Asia, so they can't take a car or a plane. It's possible they want to escape to Outer Mongolia and run from there."

"Whatever." He Yuzhu's eyes turned cold, "I don't care where they are; even if they go to heaven, I will find them."
