"Hey, did you hear what I said?"
Seeing that Xia Anying didn't respond for a long time, Leng Wanqing asked impatiently.
"Yeah, I heard. I was just changing my shoes."
Xia Anying quickly replied.
"The stuff is in your room, right?"
"Right. Hurry up."
Leng Wanqing hung up the phone after she finished speaking. Her voice was arrogant and mean, showing no gratitude to Xia Anying at all.
But Xia Anying could only endure it.
One second she was smiling and saying "bye-bye" to Leng Wanqing, and the next second her face darkened.
She pointed at the maid who had just laughed out loud and said sharply,
"What right do you have to laugh at me?"
...
After saying goodbye to Leng Chuanjin, Xia Sanghuan went to school.
Ignoring the gossips from the students, she rushed straight to the research lab.
Yesterday, after she and Professor He prepared the medicine according to the prescription and injected it into the white mouse, it didn't have any curative or delaying effect.
This made them a bit discouraged.
But after thinking about it all night, she decided to modify the medicine on this basis.
If the current medicine has no effect, what if she adds the ingredients from the Black-bone Spiritual Treasure? Maybe there will be an unexpected chemical reaction.
With an excited heart, she quickened her pace towards the research lab.
However, just as she reached the door of the research lab, she saw Wei Linjun again.
Such frequent encounters made her suspicious.
"Professor Wei, what are you doing here at our research lab so early in the morning?"
Before he could react, she quickly walked up to him and blocked his way.
"If you're looking for Professor He, you may have to wait for another ten minutes."
She looked at him with a smile. Her tone and expression were very kind, as if she was really just an innocent junior.
But actually, she knew better than anyone else that in her mind, Wei Linjun was already guilty.
After all, it's better to believe something might be true than not.
His unexpected encounter with her caught him off guard, but he quickly regained his usual impeccable demeanor.
"It's nothing. I just want to discuss some school affairs with Professor He."
"If he's not here, I'll talk to him next time."
He originally planned to find an excuse to get away as usual, but Xia Sanghuan didn't want to let him go so easily.
"Professor Wei must have something urgent, right? Otherwise, why would you come to find Professor He so early?"
"If it's convenient, you might as well tell me first. I'll tell Professor He as soon as he comes."
The girl's eyes were curved with a smile, looking harmless.
But it was just an appearance.
Looking at her expression, Wei Linjun remembered what that person had said to him.
"No matter what, Xia Sanghuan must not be left alive."
"Go and investigate around her more. Once there's an opportunity."
"We'll immediately take action to get rid of her."
While thinking about this, he gave her a gentle smile.
"The principal asked me to tell Professor He that the guest who came yesterday has something to give him."
"Ask him to go to the principal's office to pick it up."
"Okay, I'll tell him exactly what you said."
She looked into his eyes and replied.
For some reason, there was an unfathomable look in this man's eyes.
This brief confrontation ended in such a peaceful way.
She stared at Wei Linjun's departing back and found that he gave her a deep look before the elevator door closed.
This look gave her a creepy feeling.
However, the man's expression was just a calm smile.
She would verify the information with Professor He when he came.
She was thinking like this while pushing open the door of the research lab.
She thought that Wei Linjun had made up a reason to deceive her this morning, but this assumption was overturned when Professor He returned to the research lab with a stack of materials in his arms.
She told Professor He what Wei Linjun had said. She thought he would be unaware, but he replied,
"Oh, this matter."
"I met Xiao Wei downstairs. He told me about it."
Hearing his words, she was a little surprised.
He didn't lie to her?
Seeing her stunned expression, Professor He asked with a bit of doubt,
"Sanghuan, what's wrong?"
Only then did she realize that her expression was inappropriate.
She quickly patted her face to make her expression return to normal.
She waved her hand at Professor He.
"It's okay. I just think it's such a coincidence."
"I didn't expect that Professor Wei just told me this matter, and then you met him downstairs."
This made her feel like she had been outmaneuvered by him.
How frustrating.
But anyway, the suspicion of Wei Linjun was only based on her personal speculation.
It wasn't the time to tell Professor He yet.
She glanced at Professor He who had started to get busy.
Moreover, the professor was already old. It was better not to involve him in some things.
"Professor, what are these things?"
She walked over and flipped through the stack of materials that Professor He had just brought back.
"Those? Those are actually the materials about the Black-bone Spiritual Treasure that I asked a friend to find."
"Friend? I thought it was that foreign expert..."
"He is my friend."
Professor He said with a smile.
"Although the possibility of finding information about the Black-bone Spiritual Treasure in foreign books is not high."
"I still asked him to look for it."
"After all, the more information we have, the more beneficial it is for our research."
"I didn't expect him to really find something."
She flipped through these documents in surprise and found that there were indeed quite a few English words in them.
"But he told me that only a small part of the content is about the spiritual treasure."
"Most of the rest is their country's research on tree-man syndrome."
She casually took out a few materials and buried herself in reading them.
Fortunately, her English had always been good, and she usually read some English medical magazines.
So even the technical terms in the articles, she could understand most of them.
When she encountered something she really couldn't understand, she could use her phone to translate and know the general meaning.
Although they had looked up a lot of materials these days, the information in these materials wasn't very useful.
But anyway, something was better than nothing.
While reading, she analyzed in her mind and unsurprisingly found that Western doctors indeed paid more attention to gene repair treatment for tree-man syndrome patients.
And the records of the Black-bone Spiritual Treasure mostly came from the early Western doctors who saw the content in their Chinese medicine friends and Chinese medicine classics when they came to this country for medical exchanges.
"By the way, Professor He."
She looked up from the pile of materials.
"I'm thinking, if we add some of the ingredients from the spiritual treasure to that medicine."
"Will that medicine be effective?"
After hearing her words, Professor He pondered for a moment.
Then he nodded.
"It's worth a try."
