A flashlight shines inside a house, illuminating the beautiful lettering.

Page after page, line after line.

It was shocking to see.

"This, this is unbelievable. How can there be a madwoman like Xu Manzhi in the world? She's practically playing with viruses and bacteria. How does her brain work?"

A cold, mocking laugh came from the shadows.

"What, are you also ashamed of your own inferiority?"

"you--"

The flashlight was slammed onto the table, and the man slammed his notebook shut, his tone noticeably weaker: "Once I make the medicine, you'll see how powerful I am."

"I couldn't have gotten it."

...

Dai Chunying applied several times to join the review of the documents, but was rejected each time.

She was furious.

But just five days later, all three booklets were placed on her desk. The leader said, "Take these back, but production is not allowed. The higher-ups won't approve it. They also contain viruses that could cause serious harm."

Based on this alone, it is basically confirmed that Xu Manzhi is problematic.

With the current level of medical expertise, even many renowned medical experts who have returned from studying abroad say they cannot understand it; it is beyond their comprehension.

I wonder what the final product will be.

Dai Chunying looked at her strangely and said frankly, "Viruses and bacteria do exist. It's been confirmed in medicine for a long time. They are a double-edged sword. It all depends on how humans treat them. If you thought there was a problem, you would have arrested the people long ago, wouldn't you?"

Although she didn't understand the situation, she always believed that for medicine to develop, it needed an innovative spirit, and Xu Manzhi just happened to fit all her dreams.

Then why is it not feasible?

The leader said coldly, "Don't worry about it. This is just a warning: don't produce recklessly, or you'll be going to jail."

Dai Chunying was a little annoyed.

But she was powerless to do anything about it, so she took the notebook and went to find Xu Manzhi.

Xu Manzhi looked completely unconcerned.

She carried the coal stove to the backyard and even opened the door.

Under Dai Chunying's puzzled gaze, she opened the bottom cover of the coal stove, and flames quickly rose up.

Then, Xu Manzhi threw the three thick notebooks into the fire.

"Ah, no—"

Dai Chunying was extremely anxious and ran to grab it, constantly stepping on the sparks, but she still burned off a small part of it, and what remained was also incomplete.

“Why did you burn it? If this had been published, it would have caused a worldwide sensation,” Dai Chunying said with heartache.

She blew on the book while patting it.

Xu Manzhi chuckled and said, "You see, the notebook has been burned. From now on, don't think about production anymore, just leave it alone."

Dai Chunying is going crazy.

If she felt it was unnecessary, why bother writing it down?

“This is a pill called Hongyao, mainly for Alzheimer’s disease. You can try it; it should pass the review.” Xu Manzhi took out another notebook.

Dai Chunying took it and looked at it.

This medicine is divided into two parts: Chinese medicine and Western medicine. Different treatments are available for different symptoms.

She was stunned when she saw it.

"Wow, you're amazing! You even thought of how to use this medicine. I need to apply for production right away."

It benefits all mankind.

Dai Chunying took the notebook and went back, looking rather dazed.

As soon as the person left and Xu Manzhi closed the door, she saw several stars before her eyes and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The pill comes at the cost of burning one's life.

Working day and night, she had to recall all her previous records and experiments, each day a painful ordeal. In her prime, however, it was all just a minor setback.

It's very difficult now.

She glanced around and, after receiving feedback from a group of snakes confirming that the surveillance personnel had left, she hurriedly took out a handkerchief from her spatial storage and wiped the bloodstains off the ground.

Yan Lin must not find out.

After wiping herself, she swallowed another pill.

Only after her strength returned to her body was she able to resume work for the next period.

It's no longer possible to copy all three notebooks.

Based on this, she had to modify the original production method. Not to mention the difficulty, the workload had to be drastically reduced, and it was no exaggeration to say that she had to put in a lot of painstaking effort.

The news that Xu Manzhi burned her experimental results still drew considerable attention when it spread among the upper echelons.

Even Secretary Ling showed a hint of surprise.

He took a sip of tea, looked up and asked the person next to him, "I heard that this special medicine was meant to help Yan Lin. It took her several months to develop. How could she bear to burn it?"

"I don't know. She probably gave up because the higher-ups didn't allow production."

Secretary Ling shook his head.

In his eyes, Xu Manzhi was not someone who gave up easily, so that shouldn't be the reason she burned the records; it might have been a feint.

"Then you keep a close watch and don't miss anyone who gets close to the forest."

"yes."

The courtyard where Xu Manzhi and Yan Lin lived was originally an old courtyard that had been confiscated and had a name called Lin Garden. It was only after Yan Lin and Xu Manzhi performed meritorious service that it was allocated to them.

The courtyard was large enough, and there were many houses; it belonged to an old landlord.

Since the Xu family's case was launched, there have been spies hidden inside and outside Lin Garden, monitoring her almost 24 hours a day. But after so long, the Xu family's informant has not made contact with her.

I don't know if the information was leaked.

Secretary Ling also worried whether investing so much time and energy in putting all the eggs in one basket was feasible...

Unfortunately, he couldn't make the decision.

When Yan Lin heard that his wife had burned the notebook, he specially brought home a string of meat and said with joy, "I'm happiest that you're not busy with this. I specially bought meat to celebrate."

Xu Manzhi couldn't stop smiling.

She readily agreed: "Okay, okay, let's not be busy anymore. I'll make some other medicines and sell them to the military hospital, and make a little money on the side. Is that alright?"

Just as the two were celebrating, a figure rushed over.

Zou Xiaozhou shouted, "Brother Yan, Brother Yan, something terrible has happened! A small clinic in the north of the city has been hit by a huge explosion. We have to participate in this rescue operation."

Upon hearing this, Yan Lin immediately forgot about cooking.

He quickly reassured Xu Manzhi: "Stay at home and don't go anywhere, understand? Safety first."

Xu Manzhi smiled and readily agreed.
