The girl was obviously startled. She staggered a bit and quickly turned around.
After seeing that the person was a student, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"I'm here to find Professor Wei."
"To find Professor Wei?" Xia Sanghuan was taken aback.
Why at this time?
Normally, except for her and Professor He, all the teachers and students in the school should be on winter vacation at home.
Moreover, for safety reasons, the principal doesn't open the research labs in the school during the vacation.
Seeing the suddenly solemn look on her face, the girl asked cautiously, "What's wrong?"
Xia Sanghuan noticed her tone and resumed her usual self.
She gave her a gentle smile. "It's okay. I'll go with you to find him."
"Where is he?" Xia Sanghuan asked while subtly glancing at the documents in the girl's arms.
"He's in his office. I'm here to return these documents to him."
"It's still the vacation now," Xia Sanghuan said. "Why is he in such a hurry to get them back?" Her tone was light, as if it were just a casual chat.
"Yes, I'm also quite confused. He gave this material to me right before the winter vacation and told me to study it well during the holiday."
Just as the girl was about to press the elevator button, Xia Sanghuan suddenly said, "Could you help me hold my bag? I need to go to the restroom."
She looked at her apologetically and handed over her backpack.
"Sure." The girl accepted without hesitation.
The moment Xia Sanghuan turned around, her expression changed instantly.
If she remembered correctly...
She quickened her steps in the other direction. She bypassed the restroom and came to the main power switch. She opened the cover of the switch, quickly identified it, and then pulled down the lever that controlled the elevator's power.
As the lever moved, the elevator slowly came to a stop.
On her way back, she went into the restroom to wash her hands, pretending that she had just come out.
When she returned to the elevator area, she saw the girl's troubled face as expected.
She walked over pretending not to know anything. "What's going on?"
She took back her bag and asked in surprise.
"The elevator is broken. Did I accidentally press the wrong button?"
Xia Sanghuan bent down and pretended to check, then patted her on the shoulder comfortingly. "It's okay. It's just a power outage. It might be a circuit breaker trip."
As she said this, she walked towards the stairs. "It seems we have to take the stairs."
Watching the girl climbing the stairs with a bitter face, Xia Sanghuan felt a bit guilty, but dealing with the important matter was her top priority.
"What's your name?"
"Shen Ya." The girl gasped for breath and replied.
"Did you join Professor Wei's project midway?"
"No." She shook her head. "I'm not a student here. I'm an exchange student sent from another university."
When she heard the name of the university, Xia Sanghuan's eyes widened slightly. Isn't this Xia Anying's school?
"Are you also in the medical field?"
The girl nodded. "To be more precise, I'm a pharmacy major."
"My name is Xia Sanghuan. I'm from the medical department." Out of courtesy, she also briefly introduced herself.
After chatting for a while, seeing that they were getting closer to the floor, Xia Sanghuan decided not to beat around the bush anymore.
"Shen Ya, can I take a look at your materials? I'm facing some obstacles in my current research and want to learn some knowledge from your pharmacy major." She said seriously while making up nonsense. She was extremely talented in drug research and didn't need to learn pharmacy knowledge at all because she had mastered it thoroughly when she was a child.
Shen Ya had never met such a kind - hearted person like Xia Sanghuan. Without much thought, she handed over the materials.
Xia Sanghuan took the documents and stood in the stairway, carefully flipping through them. She even asked Shen Ya a few questions in the middle to make herself look like she really didn't understand anything. Although she was asking about the content in the materials, actually, the moment she opened the first page, she noticed the seemingly meaningless numbers and symbols in the blank spaces. She really wanted to take pictures of these things, but if she did, Shen Ya might suspect her. For safety's sake, she suppressed this thought.
She quickly flipped through the materials and then returned them to Shen Ya. "Thank you."
When they reached the floor where Wei Linjun's office was, Xia Sanghuan didn't go with her. After a simple goodbye, Shen Ya walked towards Wei Linjun's office.
As soon as Shen Ya's figure disappeared, Xia Sanghuan rushed back downstairs. She pulled the elevator's power switch back, and the elevator started running smoothly again.
Taking the elevator upstairs, the first thing Xia Sanghuan did after arriving at the research lab was to write down what she had memorized in her mind. Most of the content consisted of the English abbreviations of drugs, some chemical formulas, and a few strange numbers. She classified them and tried to combine them. However, there was no connection between these characters. Putting them together was like a jumble of codes and made no sense at all.
Just as she was struggling on her own, Professor He came. The two of them exchanged the latest information to prepare for future work.
She had thought that the professor had been resting at home for the past half - month, but he actually took out a schedule of Leng Jingzhan's illness episodes.
...
"Any leads?" Leng Chuanjin stood outside the door, looking at Yun Ye who was walking out of the bar.
Yun Ye shook his head. "No. Almost everything inside has been emptied."
Since the bar was confiscated, the man had come here to search whenever he had time. His subordinates had almost turned the bar upside down in the past few days, but they still hadn't found anything substantial.
Was his judgment wrong? He fell silent.
After a long while, he nodded at Yun Ye. "That's it for today."
After saying that, he got back into the car and started thinking about what to do next.
After Xia Sanghuan left the Leng family, Leng Qiuhua came to visit. Actually, his uncle came back home once a year. It was just because of his grandfather's last will. Whenever this happened, Leng Chuanjin was in a bad mood. Before, when Jingzhan and his mother were at home, he could just pretend not to see his uncle. Now, his mother had to take care of Jingzhan in the hospital, and only he and his younger sister were left in the Leng family.
His mother came back home on Chinese New Year's Eve. She first cooked a few dishes, accompanied Leng Chuanjin and Leng Wanqing for a while, and then went back to the hospital with a thermos. Before leaving, she also gave her son a piece of information. The information showed the investors and the company behind the Luna Bar.
