The sickly one in F4 was the group's darling.

On the other side, Bai Jiheng, who was walking through the corridor, took out his phone and sent a message to Bai Luochen.

Bai Jiheng: Send me the password for the electronic lock on your incubator.

Bai Luochen: What do you want to do?

Bai Jiheng: Curious.

Bai Luochen: You think I'd believe that?

Bai Jiheng: I'm not kidding you. Some people are timid. If your terrarium lock breaks again, I need to have a backup plan. Send me the password.

After a while, three messages popped up on the other end, almost without any pause.

Bai Luochen: Someone's here? How come I didn't know that Third Young Master Bai had changed his personality?

Bai Luochen: He used to be as unruly as a wild donkey that no one cared about, but now he's become a charming rogue who cares about people?

Bai Luochen: Mo Mo doesn't hurt anyone, there's no need for that. Don't use that as an excuse. I think you just don't like Mo Mo and are looking for trouble.

Bai Jiheng: If I wanted to deal with it, I would have taken care of it when it was bothering my sofa last time. Why would I wait until now? I simply don't want to turn the house upside down and scare people. It's not worth it.

The message was sent, but no reply came for a while. He guessed that Bai Luochen was busy packing up the research equipment and didn't have time to reply.

Bai Jiheng simply put away his phone and turned to walk towards the kitchen. Thinking of Bai Ci's flustered state after throwing the pillow, the corners of his mouth curled up again.

As he turned the corner, Uncle Chen saw him. The old butler glanced at him and asked, "Third Young Master, what are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing." Bai Jiheng's smile faded. "Make an extra serving of red date and millet porridge for lunch."

"For the young master?"

"No, it's for myself."

Uncle Chen glanced at him, his expression making it crystal clear—you can't even be bothered to lie properly. He didn't call him out, but simply bowed slightly and turned to walk towards the kitchen.

inside the room.

Bai Ci mentally poked Xiao Qi: Do you think Second Brother would like me?

Xiaoqi paused for a moment: I think the first thing you should worry about is whether Momo will like you.

Bai Ci pondered silently for a moment. There was nothing to be afraid of about his second brother himself. What truly terrified him was the giant python that had been coiled around him for years.

Seeing him sitting there blankly, looking dazed, Bai Yanzhi gently pushed the fruit plate next to him: "Eat some oranges to calm your nerves."

Bai Ci lowered his eyes and obediently picked up a segment of orange. Sunlight streamed in through the window, warming his slender hand.

The sweet fruit melted on my tongue, and the subtle sweetness spread, along with the warmth on the back of my hand, gradually easing the lingering fear in my heart.

The ferocious python in my mind seemed to have softened a bit from being immersed in this sweet fragrance.

Seeing that Bai Ci's emotions were gradually calming down, Bai Yanzhi also breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then, my phone vibrated slightly.

It was a message from Dr. Qin, the content of which was concise and solemn:

"Young Master, the medical examination report and consultation materials have all been compiled. If it's convenient for you, please come to the conference room on the first floor."

Bai Yanzhi locked his phone and put it back on the coffee table, his expression remaining gentle and calm. He glanced at his watch, guessing that Bai Jiheng would be back soon.

He got up and walked to the bedside. At that moment, Bai Ci was taking small bites of an orange, his cheeks bulging out, like a little hamster eating earnestly.

"Big brother is going out for a bit, he'll be back soon."

Bai Ci immediately looked up, a few bits of orange peel still clinging to the corner of her mouth, her eyes soft: "Where to?"

"Dr. Qin downstairs has some business to attend to, so you should lie down and rest. Ji Heng will be here to keep you company soon. Tell him whatever you want to eat or drink, don't keep it to yourself."

With a hint of dependence and reluctance in her eyes, Bai Ci said softly, "Yes, big brother, come back soon."

Bai Yanzhi nodded, gave him a deep look, and then turned and quickly left the ward.

On the first floor, in the manor's top-tier private consultation room.

The atmosphere in the room was heavy and oppressive, making it hard to breathe.

On both sides of the more than ten-meter-long table sat the true titans of the industry.

There are veterans who have been deeply involved in the field of cardiology for forty years, overseas-returned authorities specializing in rare genetic diseases, and specially appointed tenured professors from top hospitals. Each of them is a big shot who is hard to hire and whose appointments are extremely difficult to obtain.

But at this moment, these top experts, who usually command respect and bring the dead back to life, all had furrowed brows and ashen faces, their expressions revealing shock and helplessness.

On the long table, stacks of thick inspection reports were spread out.

The electronic screen in the center of the conference room was lit up, displaying different dimensions of body data in separate windows, with various test values ​​densely labeled next to it.

Those present flipped through the reports again and again, checking them over and over, but none of them could fit into any known pathological model.

All the results before them overturned their decades of medical knowledge.

"Absurd! Utterly absurd!"

The first white-haired grandmaster could not contain himself and suddenly slammed his fist on the table, pointing at the images of internal organs on the screen with a puzzled look on his face.

"After a thorough screening and repeated checks, his organs appeared intact, with no hyperplasia, lesions, or congenital defects. No organic lesions that could cause shock or fainting were found!"

"But this child has been chronically weak and frail, with an extremely poor constitution, yet all the sophisticated medical instruments couldn't pinpoint the cause of the illness, which didn't match the life-threatening emergency symptoms of that night!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another leading cardiac surgeon immediately stood up, pulled up the dynamic monitoring curve of the emergency treatment that night, his expression tense and his tone extremely solemn.

"But the emergency data from that night can't be faked! When he suddenly fainted, his heart rate plummeted to a dangerously low level, his cardiac enzymes were severely elevated, and he was in a state of cardiovascular constriction—a critical condition of severe shock!"

"This is a genuine near-death crisis, and it could be fatal!"

"We've never encountered a case before where the patient had a chronically weak constitution, yet no lesions could be found to cause illness!"

A group of experts took turns discussing the matter, but the more they analyzed it, the more perplexed they became, and the atmosphere in the room grew increasingly heavy and stagnant.

This was the most bizarre and intractable disease they had ever encountered in their medical practice.

She looks perfectly fine, but she is weak and frail, just a little thin.

But even the slightest temperature difference or emotional fluctuation can bring them to the brink of death in an instant.

Just as all the experts were in a state of extreme anxiety and had differing opinions.

Click.

The consultation room door was pushed open.

A tall, imposing figure walked in against the light.

Bai Yanzhi, dressed in a black handmade suit, stood tall and straight like a pine tree, exuding the cold and austere aura of a top leader. His steps were composed, and the noisy discussions in the room came to an abrupt halt.

All the experts stood up in unison, their expressions respectful.

"President Bai."

No one dared to be negligent in the slightest.

This head of the Bai family not only controls the family's vast business empire spanning multiple cities, but is also the supporter of this top-tier medical team.

Bai Yanzhi slightly raised his hand to signal everyone to sit down, his cold gaze sweeping over the reports on the table, and his thin lips parted slightly.

"No need for formalities, just tell me all your questions, straight to the point."

Dr. Qin immediately stepped forward, his voice hoarse: "Mr. Bai, we used all our top-of-the-line equipment and cross-checked three times. We can confirm with 100% certainty that Young Master Bai Ci has no organic lesions."

"But his cardiovascular stress response far exceeds all known stress indicators for heart disease."

"Simply put: the body appears healthy, but the attack is instantly fatal, and we... cannot find the cause at the moment."

boom!

Those three short sentences created a suffocating atmosphere in the entire conference room.

Bai Yanzhi's eyes suddenly darkened, and his usually calm and restrained state of mind was completely shattered.

He can accept that Bai Ci is born weak, that she needs long-term recuperation, and even that she has a chronic and intractable disease.

But what he couldn't accept was that his younger brother could die at any moment without warning, and despite their best efforts, they couldn't even find the root cause!

"Is this your final consultation result?"
