He rushed forward, took out his stethoscope, and listened carefully to Xiaoya's breathing and heartbeat.

The sound coming from the stethoscope was still somewhat weak, but it was many times stronger than before.

If Xiaoya was previously on the verge of death, she is now like someone recovering from a serious illness and regaining her vitality.

The doctor looked up at Cao Kun in shock, his eyes filled with disbelief.

The doctor's eyes widened in disbelief at what he was seeing and hearing. He quickly turned to the hospital director beside him, saying, "Director, please take a look!"

The dean was also stunned. He never expected that a single pill would have such an amazing effect.

He stepped forward, extended his aged hand, and gently placed it on Xiaoya's pulse, examining it intently.

After a moment, the dean's brows gradually relaxed, and a look of relief appeared on his face:

"Xiaoya's pulse is steady and strong. She can be discharged from the hospital after a few more days of rest!"

He was still somewhat incredulous, so he immediately called the hospital doctors and had them bring various instruments to conduct a comprehensive examination of Xiaoya.

After a thorough examination, the attending physician announced on the spot:

"Xiaoya's vital signs have stabilized, and her bodily functions have recovered far beyond expectations! This... is simply a medical miracle!"

Qian Xining's mouth was agape, her gaze shifting back and forth between Xiaoya and Cao Kun, so shocked she could barely speak.

The doctor's meaning couldn't be clearer—Xiaoya had actually been cured?

She couldn't help but take a closer look at Cao Kun.

This man is so mysterious!

Not only is his martial arts level profound, but he can also cure such a difficult and complicated disease by simply taking out a pill.

Is there anything he can't do?

Just then, a system message popped up, indicating that Cao Kun had completed the continuous tasks.

[Ding! Quest 3 is complete. You have received the quest reward: Fortune Boost Card (White) *1]

Cao Kun glanced at the time and realized that he had been holding Qian Xining's hand for a full half hour. Mission accomplished.

He released his hand without making a sound, the movement was natural.

Qian Xining's hands suddenly felt empty, and a sense of loss welled up in her heart, a barely perceptible look of disappointment flashing across her face.

She looked up at Cao Kun, only to see that he looked perfectly normal, intently watching Xiao Ya and Wang Meng.

Wang Meng, this towering man, was beaming with joy, his body trembling slightly with excitement.

He looked at the frail Xiaoya on the hospital bed, wanting to hug her, but afraid of disturbing her fragile state.

The white-haired dean slowly stepped forward, his eyes gleaming, and took Cao Kun's hand, asking, "Young man, what exactly is the origin of this pill?"

Cao Kun shook his head slightly, a smile on his face, but said nothing.

Just kidding, if the secret of the Dragon Tiger Pill were exposed, he was afraid he would be sent to the laboratory to be a guinea pig immediately!

Seeing that Cao Kun was unwilling to say more, Wang Meng immediately stepped forward, his burly body subtly separating Cao Kun from the dean, his eyes filled with vigilance.

Seeing that Cao Kun remained silent, the dean mistakenly assumed that he had some concerns and smiled gently:

"This elixir has such amazing effects, it must be priceless and cannot be revealed casually."

"I have no greedy intentions; I just thought that if I could take one to study, it might save more people in need."

The dean's words revealed his noble character and his deep concern for the patients.

Cao Kun was deeply moved upon hearing this; the old man's dedication to his patients was truly admirable.

However, the secret of the Dragon Tiger Pill was too important for him to hand over, so he could only shake his head regretfully.

The dean seemed to have anticipated this outcome. His expression was slightly dejected, but he didn't say much. He turned around, leaning on his cane, and prepared to leave.

Just then, Cao Kun had a sudden thought.

Although I can't give you Dragon Tiger Pills, I might be able to give you Dragon Tiger Wine.

He has already given several bottles to others, so giving one more to the dean should be fine.

Consider it as forming a positive connection.

But now was not the time to talk. Cao Kun leaned close to Wang Meng's ear and whispered a few words. Wang Meng nodded, indicating that he understood.

After examining Xiaoya's body, the attending physician, looking somewhat embarrassed, walked up to Cao Kun, bowed slightly, and appeared ashamed.

"Mr. Cao, it was indeed my fault just now. I almost delayed Xiaoya's treatment. I didn't expect your medicine to be so effective..."

Cao Kun waved his hand to interrupt him and said gently:

"It's nothing. Your concerns are not unfounded. If I didn't have absolute confidence in this elixir, I would have listened to your opinion as well."

The doctor was taken aback, then realized that Cao Kun was trying to exonerate him and save face. He immediately felt much better and was filled with gratitude.

Everyone present was moved by Cao Kun's magnanimity in speaking up for the doctor.

Feeling a little uncomfortable under everyone's gaze, Cao Kun waved his hand with a smile, "Why are you all staring at me? Today should be a celebration of Xiaoya's recovery!"

His words successfully changed the subject.

The attending physician suddenly snapped out of his daze and quickly echoed:

"Yes, yes, Xiaoya has just recovered and needs quiet rest. Everyone, please leave so she can recover properly."

With that, he waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave the ward.

Wang Meng stayed behind last, taking one last, reluctant look at Xiao Ya before leaving with the others.

As luck would have it, just as everyone was walking out of the ward, Su Yue arrived with several nursing professionals.

These caregivers are highly experienced and were hired by Su Yue at great expense.

With them taking care of her, Xiaoya's recovery is definitely just around the corner.

Seeing that the matter was over, Cao Kun prepared to leave the hospital with Qian Xining and the others.

They hadn't gone far when Cao Kun noticed Wang Meng silently following behind him. He was taken aback and turned around to say:

"You should go and take care of Xiaoya, don't worry about me."

Wang Meng shook his head firmly and said, "Xiao Ya is recovering now, and she has professional people taking care of her."

"I'll stick with you for now and work on thoroughly building the company's security system. This can't be delayed any longer."

Cao Kun couldn't persuade him otherwise, and thought it was a good idea. He was going to pick up Chen Lu later, and having a master like Wang Meng along would make the journey safer.

So Cao Kun said to Wang Meng, "Go to my car first and take the things to the dean."

Wang Meng nodded, and without saying a word, turned around and walked straight towards where the G-Class was parked.

As Cao Kun prepared to part ways with Qian Xining, he noticed that she seemed a little hesitant and unsure of what to say.

"Why aren't you home yet?" Cao Kun asked with a smile.

He was going to pick up Chen Lu, so naturally he couldn't let Qian Xining come along.

Qian Xining blushed slightly and lowered her head without saying a word.

She has never been attracted to any man in her entire life.

As a prodigy, she excels far beyond her peers in academics, business, and martial arts.

The men around her were always left behind, unable to catch her eye, and naturally she never thought about matters of the heart.

But Cao Kun was different.

He was handsome, tall, and his martial arts skills were even higher than hers.

His origins are mysterious; he casually took out a pill and saved Xiaoya's life.

All of this precisely struck at Qian Xining's every interest, stirring up ripples in her heart she had never felt before.

She lowered her head and murmured a few words, her voice so soft it was almost inaudible: "I... want to invite you to dinner."
