In the pictures accompanying the news, everyone except Leng Chuanjin had their faces blurred.
In the article, the cause of the accident was covered up with a statement that "multiple cars suffered brake failures on the way, resulting in a large - scale rear - end collision", which obviously sounded like a lie.
The public surely wouldn't accept such an explanation. But given the Leng family's status as the leading family among the world's four great families, they managed to suppress this incident within a single day.
"So, you came back so late tonight because you had to deal with this incident?"
"Yes."
She looked at his tired face and couldn't find the words to say.
"Will you attend the banquet Wanqing is hosting?" he suddenly asked.
She shook her head.
"I have no experience in such events. I'm afraid I'll make a fool of myself, so I'd better not go."
He didn't say anything more but just nodded.
"From tomorrow evening until the weekend, I may not be able to go home. During this time, you need to take good care of yourself. No matter what happens, call me. Also," he paused.
"You're very cute. You won't make a fool of yourself."
After saying that, he walked past her without giving Xia Sanghuan any chance to react.
She turned around and watched his back. A sweet yet bitter ripple rose in her heart.
The next day, Professor He successfully analyzed the components of the vial of medicine.
Looking at the component analysis report, Xia Sanghuan fell into deep thought.
The herbs in it were not common ones. In fact, except for some necessary surgeries, they were rarely used.
Because they could cause depression, anxiety, and insomnia in the human body. Sometimes, they could even lead to high blood pressure and headaches.
This was probably the reason why Second Brother had had poor sleep quality recently.
Although she hadn't taken him to the hospital for a detailed physical examination, the general situation was similar to what she had diagnosed.
However, for some reason, she always felt that this medicine was not as simple as it seemed.
She saved the file, closed the computer, and walked over.
"Professor, can you get these medicines?"
Professor He gave her a puzzled look.
"What do you want them for?"
"I want to mix them."
"To see what unexpected chemical reactions will occur."
She didn't seem to be joking.
Professor He hesitated for a moment.
"If you really want them, you can go to Old Xiao."
"He should be able to get them for you."
After all, this kind of medicine was not available on the market. Only large - scale hospitals would stock it.
She nodded and immediately called Xiao Song.
After she told Xiao Song her purpose, he readily agreed.
"Professor, I'm going to the hospital now." She said while sending a message to the driver.
"Do you want to go with me?"
Professor He nodded.
"I'll go too."
"I just want to ask about Leng Jingzhan's current condition."
Hearing this, she hesitated before speaking.
"Professor, did Old Xiao tell you that Jingzhan had high blood pressure after taking the medicine this morning?"
He sighed.
"Exactly because I know this, I want to go to the hospital with you."
"I hope this is just a small accident. Otherwise, all our efforts will be in vain."
When they arrived at the hospital, Xia Sanghuan and Professor He went straight to Leng Jingzhan's ward.
Jingzhan was still lying in bed as usual.
There was a person sitting in front of his bed. It was Lin Shan, who hadn't been seen for a while.
According to Second Brother, Mother Leng had returned to her maiden family to deal with some family affairs recently, so she hadn't come to visit Jingzhan.
Jingzhan was wearing a relaxed smile on his face and was talking to Mother Leng about something.
Not wanting to disturb this warm scene, Xia Sanghuan and He Jianyu decided to go to Xiao Song's office first.
She pushed open the door of the office. Xiao Song was already waiting for them inside.
There was a medical tray in front of him, and the medicines she wanted were placed on it.
Finally having a chance to get together, the three of them discussed Jingzhan's condition further.
When they had discussed enough, they decided to go to Jingzhan's ward again.
Xia Sanghuan carefully pushed open the door and softly called out to the mother - son pair who were chatting happily.
"Auntie, Jingzhan. Is it convenient for us to come in now?"
When Lin Shan saw her, her eyes lit up.
She stood up and quickly walked over to lead Xia Sanghuan and the other two in.
It was obvious that she had a lot to say to the girl in front of her, but in order not to disturb their work, she held back for the time being.
She professionally and seriously began to ask about Jingzhan's condition.
She wrote down the boy's answers on paper so that she could continue the analysis when she got back to the office.
She instinctively wanted to touch Jingzhan's face, but when she thought that Mother Leng was standing beside them, she stopped her hand abruptly.
She originally planned to say hello to Mother Leng and then go back to continue her research, but unexpectedly, Mother Leng stopped her.
Although the woman was middle - aged, there were hardly any wrinkles on her face.
She had a gentle smile on her face, and the cheongsam she was wearing made her look even more dignified.
On closer inspection, one could see some resemblance to Leng Chuanjin on her.
She walked up to Xia Sanghuan and grabbed her hand.
Seeing that she wanted to chat with the girl, Xiao Song and He Jianyu tactfully left first.
"Huanhuan, Chuanjin has told me everything."
"Thank you for developing the medicine that can save Jingzhan."
As she spoke, the woman couldn't help choking up.
The moment she received the news, she had wanted to rush back, but family matters had delayed her until now.
She and her eldest son had been looking for a way to save Jingzhan since he got this disease.
But they had searched for a long time without success.
So, as a mother, her gratitude and excitement were indescribable when she learned that Sanghuan had developed the medicine that could relieve Jingzhan's illness.
Looking at the woman whose emotions were a bit out of control, Xia Sanghuan didn't know what to say.
She tried to reach out and hugged her.
Lin Shan didn't expect the girl to react like this. She was stunned for a moment and then hugged her back.
The two hugged for a while before Lin Shan's emotions gradually stabilized.
Xia Sanghuan glanced at Leng Jingzhan and said to Mother Leng,
"Auntie, let's go to the corridor to talk."
"Jingzhan needs to rest now."
Lin Shan nodded and followed her out.
Looking at the lovely girl in front of her, she couldn't help but stroke her head.
"Huanhuan, is there anything you want? Just tell me. I'll do my best to get it for you. Consider it as a thank - you gift for saving Jingzhan."
