Has Lu Jinsheng taken gunpowder? Wasn't he fine last night?
Shen Jianyi chewed her gum, staring at Lu Jinsheng in puzzlement until he got into the car. The black Maybach sped away. Then she opened the door and jumped out.
The driver even poked his head out and asked from behind, "Do you still need the car?"
Shen Jianyi waved her hand to let him leave and then entered the research institute.
The research institute seemed extremely unremarkable on the surface. Located in this commercial center, with just a simple signboard, it would never catch anyone's attention.
But once you walked inside, it was a whole new world.
After passing through the iron gate and walking inside for another two minutes, the dim sight gradually brightened up.
Shen Jianyi stuffed her hands into her pockets and walked inside while chewing gum.
A woman wearing gold - rimmed glasses saw Shen Jianyi coming and immediately reached out to stop her. She asked coldly, "Do you have an appointment?"
Shen Jianyi glanced at her, took out a certificate from her pocket and threw it on the woman's desk.
The woman took a look at the certificate, immediately withdrew her hand, and respectfully handed the certificate back to her.
"Come in, please."
Shen Jianyi expressionlessly put the certificate back and continued walking inside until she reached a completely white wall. She skillfully groped for a hidden switch on a certain part of the wall, and it went dark.
The once seamless wall suddenly opened, revealing an elevator.
Shen Jianyi stepped in and pressed the button for the second basement floor.
When the elevator arrived, she took off the black hair tie on her wrist, tied up her long hair high, and walked out of the elevator. She familiarly patted the shoulder of the man sitting in front of the microscope.
"Long time no see, Fa Cai. You've gained weight again."
The man with the nickname "Fa Cai" was startled. The glass slide in his hand almost fell and broke.
He turned his head and was about to scold, "My name's not Fa—Damn it, why are you back?!"
Shen Jianyi turned around and rolled her eyes at him.
Fa Cai's real name was not Fa Cai. His real name was Wang Qijun, which was hard to remember. But he was very good at making money, so Shen Jianyi gave him the nickname "Fa Cai".
He was also a member of the organization. Compared with Shen Jianyi's all - round abilities, Wang Qijun seemed a bit one - sided.
How one - sided was he? He was probably completely ignorant of everything except medicine.
The professor thought he was a disgrace and kicked him out. But he was smart. Relying on his medical skills, he established a private studio and specialized in treating the rich and powerful.
Now he had made a fortune.
"Help me take a look at something."
Shen Jianyi took out the medicine she had poured out from Lu Jinsheng's medicine bottle from her pocket and handed it to him.
Fa Cai took it. After just one look, his face turned a bit grim. "How did you get this?"
"You know it?"
Shen Jianyi sat on the sofa, crossing her legs on the coffee table.
The others in the research institute seemed to have gotten used to her behavior and continued to be busy with their own work.
Fa Cai endured his cleanliness - obsession and obsessive - compulsive disorder and managed to hold back from slapping Shen Jianyi's legs off the coffee table.
"I made this medicine. How could I not know it?"
Tsk, so it was Fa Cai's medicine.
She thought that was why she couldn't figure out what it was by just smelling it.
She squinted her eyes, sat up straight, and raised her eyebrows at Fa Cai.
Fa Cai's alarm bells went off. He put his hands in front of his chest in a defensive posture, looking like he was afraid of being bullied by her. "What are you doing? Don't even think about getting anything from me!"
Shen Jianyi: "..."
The saying that a doctor cannot treat himself was really true. This guy didn't even check his own brain.
"I came to you for two things today." Shen Jianyi resumed her nonchalant look. "First, tell me what this medicine is for. Second—"
She elongated her voice and smiled wickedly. Her originally cold face suddenly became vivid.
Fa Cai had a hunch that it wasn't going to be a good thing. He turned around and wanted to run, but a dagger was thrown over, pinning the tip of his leather shoe to the carpet.
After half a second of silence.
"Shen Jianyi, don't go too far!"
His imported Persian carpet and his brand - new shoes!
"Run. If you do, I'll burn down this research institute."
Shen Jianyi leisurely lay on the sofa, her tone as relaxed as if she was discussing the weather.
Fa Cai gritted his teeth. I'll endure it!
"What's the second thing?"
"Borrow some money."
"You're dreaming."
"Then I'll set it on fire."
"..."
Although his nickname was Fa Cai, it was actually this woman who was a real money - grubbing dog!
Fa Cai resigned himself again. "How much?"
"One hundred million." After saying that, she thought it was a bit too little and held up another finger. "Make it two."
It was as easy as saying two dollars.
Fa Cai wanted to roar. "You're—"
"Then I'll set it on fire."
"..."
She was definitely a bad friend! If it weren't for Shen Jianyi saving his life several times in the organization, he would have thrown her out.
Fa Cai tried hard to recall all the kindness Shen Jianyi had shown him. He sat back down, and his still somewhat childish face gradually calmed down.
"Okay, I can lend you the money, but forget about the medicine. It's a rule. I can't disclose the patient's privacy. You can't afford to offend this patient either. Please, I'll add another one hundred million for you. Just forget about the first thing, okay?"
"Not okay."
Shen Jianyi flatly rejected his proposal. "I came for this. You think I'll leave empty - handed? No way."
Fa Cai finally understood.
This woman didn't come to ask for his help. She came to take his life. He should have let the professor poison or strangle him back then.
"Although I don't know where you got this medicine, you really can't afford to offend this person. Please." Fa Cai emphasized helplessly. When he saw Shen Jianyi's tightly pursed red lips, he sighed helplessly. "Okay, I can only tell you that this person has bipolar disorder. He has always wanted me to develop a medicine to cure it completely, but I really can't cure this disease."
Bipolar disorder?
It seemed that Lu Jinsheng's illness had flared up just now, and that was why he came to Fa Cai to develop the medicine.
"Did you take his job?"
Shen Jianyi asked.
Fa Cai shook his head. "I couldn't take it, please. It's a mental illness. Unless I brainwash him, the only thing I can do is use medicine to relieve the symptoms. I'm a doctor, not Buddha."
"I'll take it."
Fa Cai was still muttering when Shen Jianyi's words choked him so hard that he coughed several times.
"You'll take it? Shen Jianyi, are you crazy? Do you know who that person is?"
"Sure. It's just treating a disease. Since you won't do it, I will."
Fa Cai saw that she wasn't just saying it on a whim, so he finally didn't say anything more.
...
Lu Jinsheng leaned against the back of the car seat, with an undisguisable look of hostility between his eyebrows.
He didn't rest well last night. He didn't expect that when he returned to the Lu Corporation today, there were so many things waiting for him, which directly triggered his bipolar disorder.
Still no way to cure it? What if Yiyi saw...
Thinking of the way she was scared by him before, Lu Jinsheng felt extremely irritated.
Just then, his phone vibrated.
A text message came in - Mr. Lu, our studio has taken your order.
