Chapter 115 The Leaked News
The fluorescent dots on the petals fell into the liquid of morning dew and nectar, floating on it, as if the stars had descended, quiet yet distant.
Shen Zhao carefully used instruments to lock the fluorescent lights in ice crystals. There was a fluorescent light in each ice crystal. She didn't know the function of each fluorescent light yet, so she had to proceed to the next experiment.
That tiny amount was so small that Shen Zhao was even reluctant to use it on mice.
She extracted the fluorescent light into liquid and then used an instrument to make it into a powder with extremely tiny particles, which made it easier to use and control the dosage.
She injected a small amount of the drug into a blank mouse. As soon as the mouse's blood mixed with the drug, its whole body suddenly began to twitch, its eyes became bloodshot, and it foamed at the mouth. Then a stream of sticky blood spurted out of its mouth. After that, its body stiffened and it died in the glass box. Its death was extremely horrible, and the glass box was still covered with turbid and sticky dark red plasma.
Of course, the people outside the glass partition also saw this scene, and everyone showed a look of horror on their faces. Lin Han swallowed his saliva and glanced at Mu Yanchen who was standing beside him with a calm face, "Boss, do you really want to give these precious medicinal materials to Miss Shen for research? Judging from the effect, I don't know if it is a poison or an antidote."
"Your poison is my honey. Do you think I have any other choice?"
Lin Han lowered his head. He really had no right to question. With his boss's physical condition, he would grab hold of any glimmer of hope.
Besides, I believe there are no more than three people in this world who can think of this medicinal ingredient and know where to pick it.
Shen Zhao reduced the dosage again. Every experiment had to be recorded. She wanted to control the dosage at the most appropriate level!
That was Mu Yanchen, her closest person, and she could never treat his life as a joke.
As if she felt a burning gaze, Shen Zhao looked back and saw Mu Yanchen staring at her intently. There was complete trust in his eyes and he was not frightened by the bloody scene just now. Shen Zhao curled the corners of her lips. How long had it been since she felt such wholehearted trust?
She felt as if her whole body was infused with some kind of power, giving her the courage to face any difficulties in the days to come.
While Shen Zhao was conducting experiments day after day, news came from Shengjing that Mu family head Mu Yingfeng was critically ill. The letter was of no use at all. The head family seemed to be unable to wait and immediately summoned those with inheritance rights scattered across the country to return to Shengjing, including the exiled seventh son of the Mu family, Mu Yanchen.
Situ Rui listened to the tone of command, "Boss, it seems that we really can't delay this time, but Miss Shen has just made some progress."
Yes, Shen Zhao had just tested out the dosage that would not cause the mice to die tragically, and this progress had cost three fluorescent lamps, and a night-thirsty plant had only collected more than twenty in total. Obviously, this task was more arduous.
Moreover, Mu Guichao had been watching the banquet with concern, fearing that something big would happen during this banquet.
Mu Yanchen tapped the table. "I think the news has leaked out. Regardless of whether Mu Yingfeng is seriously ill or not, their intention to eat flowers at night is true. In fact, this time, I think their appetite has grown. They probably want to kidnap our only researcher as well."
"You mean their target is Miss Shen?" Situ Rui was shocked. "Miss Shen is very capable, but how could they associate her with a student who just entered college?"
Mu Yanchen glanced at him with an inimitable sneer in the corner of his eyes. "Just because she followed me and my physical condition is getting better day by day, I have also left the manor several times recently. It is difficult for them not to find me. After all, Mu Guichao regards me as the number one threat, so they would rather kill the wrong person than let me go."
"Even if she is really an ordinary student and has no effect on my condition, removing one student will not have much impact on them. On the contrary, if she is really capable, then they can use her as they please. It's a good plan!"
As Situ Rui listened, he felt a chilly wind blowing, as if someone was about to get into bad luck.
This banquet was a grand one, after all, it concerned the heir of the Shengjing Mu family. Li Chengyi was naturally also among the invited guests, and even Li Rao, who had just woken up, was also invited.
Li Chengyi sat in the side house and looked at the contents of the letter solemnly, and said quietly, "Mu Yingfeng personally invited me this time, I can't refuse to go..."
"Master, how should we arrange it?" Mei Bai's face was also solemn. If they had just invited the master, it would have been fine, but now they wanted to bring Miss Li Rao, who had just recovered from a serious illness, along as well. It was obvious that they wanted to kill Miss Li Rao!
"Let's take it one step at a time. Bring the best medical resources just in case." Li Chengyi looked in the direction of the main house with a complicated expression. "I believe that person will have a bigger headache than me. Miss Shen is the target of many pursuits. It's like whoever gets her will give birth to her. Who in that family wouldn't want her?"
"But what if Miss Shen doesn't cooperate?" Mei Bai couldn't help but ask.
A flash of pain flashed across Li Chengyi's eyes. "Then she might be wiped out by that family. But not every family is as simple as ours. They are places that eat people without leaving any bones."
Mei Bai hesitated but still asked: "If they really do that to Miss Shen, will you save her, Master?"
"If Mu Yanchen doesn't have that ability, I certainly don't mind."
Juhong hid in the shadows. After listening to their conversation, she couldn't help but feel pain in her heart. After all, the master treated Miss Shen differently. He could choose not to fight, but if Miss Shen really needed him, perhaps he would really give her his life...
She pursed her lips and walked out. She had to pack her things. She believed that the master would leave the manor soon.
Mu Yanchen rarely appeared at the gate of the manor to see Li Chengyi off. Even in the hot summer, he was still wearing a coat. He stood under the scorching sun without a drop of sweat, as if other people were from two different worlds. His cold white skin looked even more translucent under the sunlight, and even the blue blood vessels hidden under the skin were clearly visible.
Li Chengyi didn't want to go through all that formality, and even disdained to shake hands. The two of them were already enemies, and if it weren't for Shen Zhao, they wouldn't be able to stand together.
But Li Chengyi still reminded him, "If you can't protect her, let go now. Otherwise, when we get to Shengjing, I'm afraid she will be eaten to the bone!"
Mu Yanchen had a sneer on his face, "Then don't bother with you, an outsider. I believe that even if I can't do it, I'm better than someone who can't even protect his own sister!"
"You!" Li Cheng waved his sleeves, "It's torture to stay with you for one more minute. I don't know why Li Rao was so crazy before!"
"Isn't Li Rao awake? You can go ask her."
