The Big Boss laughed heartily. "You little girl, aren't you even a bit shy? Talking about 'fighting evil and protecting the good' so openly."
"Where have I not done that?" Zhu Yanyi smiled. "I just keep a low profile and don't talk much."
The Big Boss noticed that Zhu Yanyi had become much bolder over the past two years. She shook her head helplessly. "It’s good you’re here. Your Grandma Feng’s illness has been waiting for you."
Hearing this, Zhu Yanyi’s smile faded, and her expression turned serious. "I came specifically for the old lady. If not for this, I would have gone to Wudang Mountain long ago. I need to replenish some medicines there."
"Then let’s go now." Hearing that Zhu Yanyi had come specifically for her wife, the Big Boss ignored the matters at hand.
"Alright, let’s go." Zhu Yanyi agreed readily. The Big Boss was a good man. Although she was stepping down next year, everyone still respected and valued her greatly.
Yan Aohan remained silent throughout. This was Zhu Yanyi’s domain, and he would not interfere with her duties. Moreover, it was safe here, so he did not worry about her safety.
The Big Boss currently lived in the central building of the compound, known as Building One.
She led Zhu Yanyi directly into their house and up to the second floor, where their master bedroom was located.
The Big Boss’s wife lay in bed. Her complexion looked decent, but Zhu Yanyi could see that her internal vitality was already beginning to decay. If Gu Jingtian’s "Thirteen Needles of Reviving the Dead Wood" had not been used earlier, the old lady might have already lost her life.
"Junior Sister." Gu Jingtian was there as well. She came every day for routine maintenance, practically living at the Boss’s house. She knew the old lady’s condition well and was deeply worried. Seeing Zhu Yanyi, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Senior Brother." Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly to Gu Jingtian. "We can talk later. Let me examine the old lady first."
Gu Jingtian knew that with his junior sister here, there was more hope for the old lady’s illness. He nodded quickly. "Then hurry and examine her."
Zhu Yanyi stepped forward to take the old lady’s pulse. She also used her special ability to observe the old lady’s body. Although she had already seen the situation earlier, this was a close-up confirmation.
The vitality within the old lady’s body was indeed in severe decline, just as she had noticed upon entering. Most shockingly, there was a type of bacteria called "chameleon bacteria" inside. After examining it, Zhu Yanyi understood the truth and spoke up. "The old lady was injured when she was young."
"Yes. She suffered a lot to save me back then. Some injuries were from taking care of me." The Big Boss sighed. In that era, medical resources were scarce, leaving many of the older generation plagued by illness.
Zhu Yanyi nodded in understanding, then released her hand from the pulse. "The old lady did not recover well after a miscarriage in her youth, and combined with her injuries, her internal health was already poor." Her tone grew heavy. "But who would have thought that someone implanted chameleon bacteria into her body? From her pulse, I can deduce that this chameleon bacteria has been hidden in her body for nearly twenty years."
The Big Boss’s face changed slightly. "Yanyi, what exactly is this chameleon bacteria?"
