Fu Lingshi's tone also turned serious.
Of course he knew what Leng Chuanjin was worried about.
Since his father's death, Leng Qiuhua had never had a moment of peace. The open and covert struggles between him and Leng Chuanjin were obvious to the Fu family.
Although these recent incidents had involved Xia Sanghuan, in the final analysis, they were still internal conflicts within the Leng family.
If the Fu family also knew about it, they might choose to intervene for their little daughter.
Although this would be beneficial to Leng Chuanjin, the Fu family might also bear some bad reputations.
So it was better not to let the Fu family know too much.
"What are you going to do next?"
Seeing that the person on the other end didn't say anything, Fu Lingshi asked again.
"From the current situation, every time we are about to find the key, the clues will automatically be cut off."
"With Leng Qiuhua's power, he couldn't possibly have such great abilities."
His eyes darkened.
"He must have made some shady deals with certain people in secret."
"Do you need me to help you investigate?"
Fu Lingshi chimed in.
"No need."
"After all, you are the eldest son of the Fu family."
"At this stage, I hope you can help protect Sanghuan."
Hearing his words, he gave a soft laugh.
"At first, you were so suspicious of Huanhuan."
"Now, when our family comes to ask for her, you don't want to let her go."
Knowing that his friend was teasing him, he didn't show much of a reaction.
After hanging up the phone, he stood in front of the floor - to - ceiling window, lost in thought as he looked at the night sky outside.
Now the enemy was in the dark while he was in the open, and everything was unfavorable to him.
If it had been before, he might have just gone all out to conduct a thorough investigation.
But now there was Xia Sanghuan.
Not only because she was a young lady of the Fu family, but also...
The next morning, Xia Sanghuan went to the research lab as usual.
Different from usual, the driver and the car that picked her up were both different from before.
After asking, she found out that the new driver was sent by her elder brother.
When she arrived at the research lab, she found that Professor He was already there.
Professor He was burying his head in analyzing the report that Xiao Song had just sent him. It recorded all the physical data of Jing Zhan after the check - up this morning.
There were no problems with the data. Only a few items showed slight fluctuations around the standard indicators.
He noticed the movement behind him and looked back.
"Sanghuan."
"How's your thesis going?"
Hearing Professor He's question, she sighed helplessly.
She had already come up with the topics for the two theses, but during this period, because she had been focusing on the research of the medicine, she hadn't even written a single word.
So at Professor He's suggestion, she decided to finish the thesis first.
The end of the semester was approaching, and she also had to fulfill her promise with the school principal.
Moreover, the deadline for submissions for *Science and Technology* this year was in mid - November. If she didn't start preparing, she might miss it.
Jing Zhan's illness was certainly important, but the thesis was also urgent.
If she lost the qualification to continue researching with Professor He because she didn't submit her thesis, it would really be a great loss.
She took out a laptop that she had randomly picked, opened the document, and continued writing according to the previous train of thought.
As she was writing, she suddenly stopped as if she had remembered something.
She took out a tube of reagent from her pocket. It was the one she had begged for from the police station.
She handed the reagent to Professor He.
"Professor, can you help me test the substances in it?"
Professor He put down the test tube in his hand and took the reagent.
"Is this the one from yesterday..."
She nodded.
Although he didn't know why the girl was so persistent about this tube of reagent, he still agreed to help her test it.
For the rest of the time, she was writing her thesis in the research lab. Professor He was improving the medicine for Jing Zhan and analyzing the components of the reagent she had brought back. Occasionally, he would also come over to give her some guidance on her thesis.
Everything seemed so peaceful, as if all that had happened before was just a dream.
It wasn't until evening that she returned home as usual. When she got home, she found that there was another person sitting on the sofa where usually only Leng Wanqing was.
It was Xia Anying.
After seeing her come home, the two people on the sofa stopped chatting and started looking at her with disgust.
They even whispered to each other from time to time.
Their exclusion was obvious.
Xia Sanghuan was already used to this scene.
She was starving and now all she wanted was to have dinner and then go back to her bedroom to continue writing her thesis.
However, these two people didn't want to let her off easily.
In the past, when there was only Leng Wanqing, she would at most snap at Xia Sanghuan a few times. When she saw that Xia Sanghuan ignored her, she would shut up on her own.
But today was different. Today there was someone standing with her, so she didn't have to act alone anymore.
Sitting at the dining table, Xia Anying pretended to be sweet - voiced and said to Xia Sanghuan,
"Huanhuan, Wanqing and I are planning to hold a banquet at home on Saturday night."
"Do you want to come?"
Hearing her words, she looked up at her.
"Smiling so fake. Be careful that the air cushion on your face falls off."
Xia Anying's expression froze.
"Xia Sanghuan, how can you talk to your elder sister like that?"
Leng Wanqing beside her was not to be outdone.
"How I talk to my elder sister should be a matter between her and me, right?"
"What does it matter to you?"
"Didn't your elder brother teach you that when adults are talking, kids should not interrupt?"
She retorted without hesitation, not giving these two people any face at all.
Because she knew that the more she showed weakness to them, the more energetic they would be.
It was better to tear up the pretense with them from the beginning.
After saying this, she stood up and walked upstairs.
She didn't give them any chance to quarrel with her.
"Xia Sanghuan, stop!"
Leng Wanqing shouted at her back and was about to rush over.
Xia Anying beside her quickly pulled at her sleeve and gave her a look.
She glanced at her and suppressed the anger rising from the bottom of her heart.
She forced herself to show a rather kind smile and quickly said to Xia Sanghuan who was about to disappear around the corner of the stairs,
"Miss Xia, you will attend the banquet I'm holding, right?"
She thought she had given this stinky girl enough face. If she caused any more trouble, she didn't know if she still had the patience to talk to her.
Unfortunately, she underestimated Xia Sanghuan's ability to "not appreciate kindness".
The girl's raised leg paused for a moment. She looked down at the two people downstairs.
She just said expressionlessly and impatiently spat out a few words,
"No."
"I have to write my thesis."
"I'm not as idle as you two."
After saying that, she left without giving them another look.
Seeing her attitude, Leng Wanqing was so angry that she felt like her lungs were about to explode.
