Xu Hao and Shi Shaowei walked quickly toward the conference room.

Pushing open the door, Xu Hao found Su Qing already sitting inside, waiting. She was dressed in a simple black suit, her long hair tied up high, revealing a cool and beautiful face. Xu Hao's gaze was involuntarily drawn to her, and his heart began to race slightly.

Wow, what a dashing and beautiful young lady!

Unlike Lin Ya and Zi Yu, who are gentle, Su Qing gives off a more capable vibe.

“This is our new colleague, Xu Hao,” Shi Shaowei introduced. “He has developed a new medicine that may help with your injury.”

Su Qing's sharp gaze swept over Xu Hao, carrying a hint of scrutiny and wariness. Xu Hao couldn't help but feel a little nervous, his palms sweating slightly.

“I’ve heard of you,” Su Qing said, her voice cold. “It’s all over the bureau now. They’re saying that the ZZ branch found a treasure. You can make medicine and create a kind of talisman that ordinary people can use to deal with strange things. Even headquarters knows your name.”

Xu Hao scratched his head. He had only just started refining medicine, and his reputation was already so great? It might not be a good thing.

He then nodded and said, "As a newcomer, I am always appreciated by the leaders. Teacher Su, this Flame Fusion Pill was specially made for you."

He carefully handed over the jade box.

Su Qing extended her slender fingers and accepted the jade box from Xu Hao. Her movements were swift and decisive, yet carried a touch of elegance. Her delicate fingers gently traced the surface of the box, feeling the warm, smooth texture of the jade.

She slowly opened the box, and a faint medicinal fragrance immediately wafted out. Su Qing frowned slightly, carefully examining the pills inside. The Flame Fusion Pill was deep red, with a smooth and rounded surface, and faint golden patterns could be seen flowing within it, as if flames were dancing inside the pill.

Su Qing's gaze lingered on the pill for a moment, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. She gently touched the pill with her fingertips, feeling a warm energy emanating from them. She couldn't help but look up at Xu Hao, the wariness in her eyes lessening slightly, replaced by a trace of curiosity.

"This can really cure me?!"

Xu Hao noticed the doubt in Su Qing's eyes and explained softly, "This pill is specifically designed to treat ice-type injuries. It contains fire-type energy, and the dosage is strictly controlled. It can repair damaged meridians and internal organs."

Su Qing remained silent for a moment, her gaze sweeping back and forth between Xu Hao and Shi Shaowei. Finally, she took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind.

"Alright, I believe you." She said, carefully taking the pills out of the jade box.

Xu Hao and Shi Shaowei held their breath, watching Su Qing's every move with bated breath. Su Qing's slender fingers picked up the pill and carefully placed it in her mouth. She chewed it gently a few times, and the pill quickly melted in her mouth, turning into a warm liquid.

Su Qing felt a warm current slide down her throat, quickly spreading throughout her body. She involuntarily closed her eyes, carefully sensing the changes within her body. The warm current, like tiny flames, traveled along her meridians, gradually easing the stiff and painful areas it reached.

Her brows furrowed slightly, then gradually relaxed. Her expression shifted from tension to surprise, then to relaxation. After about two or three minutes, Su Qing slowly opened her eyes and took a deep breath.

“I feel…much better,” she said softly, her voice tinged with disbelief. Su Qing raised her arm and moved it gently. “The pain has significantly lessened, and that bone-chilling cold has disappeared. I can feel a warm current continuously repairing my injuries. It’s like countless tiny flames are moving through my body, slowly dispelling the chill and repairing the damaged meridians.”

Her gaze returned to Xu Hao, her eyes sparkling with surprise and gratitude.

Although she had contemplated suicide, Director Zheng's words still had an effect on her.

My life was bought with someone else's life. How can I just throw it away like that? How can I face...the one who sacrificed...him?

Xu Hao breathed a sigh of relief, a relieved smile spreading across his face. "Great, it seems to be working well," he said. "However, I'll need to continue taking it a few more times until the cold toxins in my body are completely expelled. I've made more than 20 pills this time, one a day. That should be enough to get rid of it completely."

Su Qing nodded, her wariness completely vanishing, replaced by gratitude and admiration. "Thank you, Xu Hao," she said sincerely. "I owe you a favor."

Shi Shaowei reached out and patted Xu Hao's shoulder hard, so hard that Xu Hao swayed slightly.

"Well done, brother!" Shi Shaowei said with a smile. "I knew you could do it."

He turned to Su Qing, his smile widening: "Su Qing, it seems you'll soon be back on the front lines. Our ZZ branch will have another great general! Brother, everyone in our branch remembers your kindness!"

Just as the three were talking, Shi Shaowei's phone suddenly rang. He took out his phone, glanced at it, and frowned slightly.

"It's Zhao Miaomiao," he said, pressing the answer button.

"Hey, Miaomiao, what's up?" Shi Shaowei asked, his tone serious.

Zhao Miaomiao's urgent voice came from the other end of the phone: "Team Leader Shi, something's happened! A strange attack has occurred in Qingshan Village on the outskirts of the city. Three people have been injured and are in critical condition!"

Shi Shaowei's expression instantly turned serious, his brows furrowed, and a hint of alertness flashed in his eyes. He gripped his phone tightly, his voice low and urgent: "What are the specifics? Tell me in detail."

Zhao Miaomiao took a deep breath and quickly reported, "About half an hour ago, villagers in Qingshan Village began to call the police. According to witnesses, several pale-faced, stiff-moving humanoid creatures were wandering around the village. It attacked several villagers who were out, injuring three people. The injured are showing symptoms similar to cadaver infection and are being taken to the hospital."

She paused, then continued, “The villagers are terrified and are hiding in their homes, afraid to go out. We have already sent two members of our action team to the scene, but they said the situation is very complicated and they need more support. Director Zheng has just issued an emergency order, requiring all members of the action team to rush to the scene immediately. He emphasized that the situation must be brought under control before dark, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.”

After listening to the report, a look of seriousness flashed in Shi Shaowei's eyes. He quickly glanced around, his gaze lingering on Xu Hao and Su Qing for a moment, as if weighing something. Finally, he said into the phone, "Understood. We'll leave immediately. Notify the others to assemble at the bureau in ten minutes to prepare their equipment."

"Understood," Shi Shaowei replied in a deep voice. "We'll set off immediately."

After hanging up the phone, Shi Shaowei turned to Xu Hao and Su Qing with a serious expression: "The situation is urgent, we must go to Qingshan Village immediately. Xu Hao, you should come too, take your talisman, it might come in handy."

Xu Hao nodded in agreement, feeling both nervous and excited. This would be his first time participating in a real operation.

Shi Shaowei looked at Su Qing: "How are you feeling? If you're not feeling well, you can stay at the station."

Su Qing took a deep breath and said firmly, "No, I'm fine. Xu Hao's medicine is very effective, and I can move around now. I'm going."

Shi Shaowei nodded: "Okay, let's set off immediately. I'll explain the situation in detail on the way."

The three quickly left the meeting room and hurried towards the parking lot. On the way, they encountered other members of the action team, whose expressions were grave as they quickly regrouped. Soon, several police cars roared out of the police station and sped towards Qingshan Village.
