"Mayor..."
The young man with the mysterious illness stammered, clutching his abdomen with trembling hands.
He seemed to be in extreme pain, struggling even to speak clearly.
"What happened?"
Shen Donglin noticed the young man's distress and hurried forward to assist him.
"Is your body uncomfortable? Do you want to rest for a while?"
"..."
The young man's teeth chattered as he tried to speak, but he couldn't squeeze out a word.
The pain in his abdomen seemed to reach a bizarre "threshold," causing him endless agony yet preventing him from passing out completely.
"I...I..."
After a long while, he finally overcame the spasms in his throat and managed to utter a few broken syllables.
He dared not hesitate and immediately opened his mouth, attempting to reveal everything he knew to Shen Donglin.
Just as he was about to utter the third syllable, the young man suddenly froze in place, as if perceiving something inconceivable.
