Era: You're asked to cook a home-style dish, but you cook Wellington.

Su Wanqing's face froze instantly, all color draining from her face. For the first time, fear and disbelief appeared in her usually calm eyes.

These words struck like a thunderclap, echoing throughout the room.

Gao Yang's smile froze instantly, and Lin Zheng's teacup also stopped abruptly, spilling a few drops of tea.

Su Xiaoyu was also startled by this sudden change and quickly came over.

"Sister, what's wrong? What happened?"

Su Wanqing took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down. She turned to look at Qian Miao, her voice regaining some of its authority, but still unable to hide her urgency.

"What are the specific details? What did the doctor say? When did it start?"

Qian Liu then spoke slowly.

"According to the housekeeper who delivered the message, the old man suddenly fell into a coma last night and has been lying in the emergency room all day. His condition is critical, and they are doing everything they can to save him."

"The Su family is in complete chaos. All my uncles and cousins ​​are at the hospital, but you're not there."

Su Wanqing frowned deeply.

"Why are you only telling me now?"

"Someone deliberately blocked the news from getting out. If it weren't for the old man's clever butler, we'd probably still be in the dark."

Upon hearing this, Su Wanqing immediately understood that someone was deliberately blocking her from going home.

"Wanqing, you should go home right now and see what's going on."

Lin Zheng was the first to react.

Su Wanqing nodded, crossed her arms over her chest, and gripped her arms tightly.

Seeing his boss so anxious, Qian Liu quickly said, "Boss, the doctor on the old man's side said that he needs a hundred-year-old ginseng. If we don't have it, even a god can't save him."

"Then quickly get one from the family storeroom!"

Su Wanqing stood up from her seat, quickly put on the coat that Gao Yang handed her, and looked puzzled.

For a behemoth like the Su family, a century-old ginseng, though precious, is not something they cannot afford.

"Is it possible that the Su family can't find a single century-old ginseng in their entire warehouse?"

"this……"

Qian Liu was in a dilemma.

"I just called and asked. The family said that of the remaining two ginseng roots, one was bought by the Wang family a few days ago, and the other was transferred to the capital by the eldest young master the day before yesterday, but it went missing on the way."

Upon hearing this, Su Wanqing stopped in her tracks instantly.

"Are you saying that our Su family can't even find a single century-old ginseng root?"

She felt a throbbing sensation in her head, her vision went black, and the world spun around her.

Gao Yang quickly supported her and asked with concern:

"How are you feeling?"

Su Wanqing had no other thoughts. She clenched her teeth tightly, forcing out the words through the gaps:

"It was intentional; they definitely planned it in advance."

Lin Zheng finished his phone call and slowly walked over.

"Mr. Lin, is there any news about the Lin family?"

Su Wanqing's voice was hoarse.

Old Lin shook his head, his eyes filled with sympathy.

"boom!"

Like a bolt from the blue, the powerful figure who remained calm even when Mount Tai collapsed before him was now as helpless as a child.

Su Wanqing sat in the chair, her eyes vacant.

Her brain was working frantically, names popping up one after another, only to be personally eliminated by her.

She was originally the illegitimate daughter of the third branch of the Su family. She was abandoned outside from a young age and no one cared for her. It was the old master of the Su family who personally took her back and taught her business knowledge, which is how she was raised to be the powerful and influential person she is today.

Upon hearing this news, Su Xiaoyu froze on the spot, looking up blankly and glancing left and right.

Gao Yang also frowned deeply.

He recalled two news items from his past life.

The first item is that entrepreneur Su Wanqing will jump off a building, and the date will be three days later.

The second story is about how a 200-year-old ginseng was unearthed in the Cangmang Mountain of Yuncheng, which shocked the whole country and caused quite a stir at the time.

right!

"There are ancient ginseng trees in the vast mountains!"

The memories of his past life and the reality of his present life overlapped instantly, and Gao Yang's eyes lit up as if he had grasped the only chance of survival.

He stood up abruptly, his voice firm and loud, breaking the deathly silence in the room.

"Yes! There are old ginseng roots in the Cangmang Mountains!"

Everyone turned to look at him instantly, and Su Wanqing also suddenly raised her head, a faint light finally igniting in her empty eyes.

She asked, her voice trembling.

"Gao Yang, what did you say? Cangmang Mountain really exists?"

Lin Zheng also stepped forward quickly, his expression excited.

"Gao Yang, don't talk nonsense! This is a matter of life and death! The Cangmang Mountains are so vast, and old ginseng is extremely rare and hard to come by; it's not something you can just find anywhere!"

"You need to think this through. This is not an easy place to wade into. If you're not careful, someone will scheme against you and ruin your reputation."

"I'm not making this up!"

Gao Yang spoke with certainty, his eyes filled with unwavering resolve.

"I heard from an old man who went into the mountains to collect medicinal herbs that there are two-hundred-year-old wild ginsengs in the deep forests of the Cangmang Mountains. If we set off immediately, we will definitely be able to save the old man!"

He couldn't reveal the secret of his past life, so he could only use the old herb gatherer as an excuse.

Upon hearing Gao Yang's description, everyone's first reaction was disbelief.

After all, century-old ginseng is not so easy to find.

It should be noted that even a large family like the Su family only has two remaining.

Yet this certainty made everyone present believe him to some extent.

Looking into Gao Yang's clear and determined eyes, filled with sincerity and hope, Su Wanqing instantly shattered the despair in her heart.

She suddenly stood up, grabbed Gao Yang's hand, her palms were covered in cold sweat, but she held on tightly and refused to let go.

"Alright, let's head to Cangmang Mountain now! Qian Liu, prepare the car immediately, take several reliable people with you, and bring the necessary tools for the mountain. Let's set off right away!"

"Sister, I want to go too!"

Su Xiaoyu also quickly stood up, indicating that she also wanted to contribute.

"No, Xiaoyu, you stay in Yuncheng, follow Elder Lin, keep an eye on the alley hotel, don't wander off, and wait for me to come back."

Without a second thought, Su Wanqing rejected Su Xiaoyu's request.

Looking at that glimmer of hope, she regained her former decisiveness in her tone.

"Okay, then be careful."

Su Xiaoyu understood the seriousness of the matter, so she didn't make a fuss and looked at Su Wanqing with a serious expression.

"Then I'll go home first, sister. I'll wait for you at home."

Lin Zheng also spoke up immediately.

"I'll make arrangements right away. I'll have someone I know in the mountains meet you in advance and guide you. The terrain in the Cangmang Mountains is complex, so please take care of your safety!"

"Understood! Elder Lin, I will definitely find the old ginseng and bring Wanqing back safely."

Gao Yang gripped Su Wanqing's cold hand tightly, his eyes resolute.

At the critical moment of life and death, without the slightest hesitation, the group immediately sprang into action, completely shattering the deathly silence in the room.

At that very moment, thousands of kilometers away...

"Boss, it seems like the news I spread worked. Su Wanqing and the others are heading to Cangmang Mountain to find ginseng."

Inside the small house, a middle-aged man held a phone, his voice brimming with excitement.

The voice from the other side rang out.

"Very good. Send a few more people, find the right opportunity, and remember, either don't make a move, or if you do, hide your tracks well and don't give yourself away."

"I understand, boss. Just watch. Su Wanqing made me lose the Yicheng connection last time, and now it's her turn to pay the price."

The middle-aged man's vicious voice echoed in the empty room.
