He is the decisive business emperor, and she is a charming, soft, and adorable student. Due to a mistaken blind date, he and she became the closest people on the household register.
From then...
Finally, Xin Zikai moved into the Shen family villa without any trouble.
Xiang Zhilan couldn't understand why Shen Muzhi, such a stingy guy, would suddenly agree to let a wolf into the house.
Did he just assume that Xin Zikai was inferior to him?
Moreover, he even arranged for Xin Zikai's room to be next to theirs, with only one wall separating their beds. What exactly is he trying to do?
After settling Xin Zikai into his room, the three of them had lunch together.
“Don’t worry about the lab. I already made arrangements before I came here. The Institute of Biology at Yihai University can lend me their lab, but they have one condition,” Xin Zikai said to Xiang Zhilan after finishing his meal.
"What are the conditions?" Xiang Zhilan asked, puzzled.
"You'll see when the time comes." Xin Zikai wiped his mouth, stood up, and said, "Come on, let's go see your friend."
"Okay." Xiang Zhilan quickly got up. She was taking good care of herself and the pregnancy was stable, so she could still handle the back-and-forth travel.
"I'll go with you." Shen Muzhi already knew that the antidote no longer existed, so he ordered his men to be withdrawn from Yunmian and gave all his subordinates who had stayed up all night watching the surveillance footage a day off.
The three of them went to the hospital together. Xiang Zhilan remembered her promise to Ni Sitian, so she didn't dare to bring Xin Zikai directly so that Xu Tingchuan would see her. She wanted to call Ni Sitian out, so only she and Shen Muzhi went in, while Xin Zikai waited outside.
When Xiang Zhilan went in, she saw that Xu Tingchuan had already woken up, while Ni Sitian was still asleep. He looked at her with a very sad expression, his fingers gently combing her hair.
His expression suggested he knew Ni Sitian hadn't...
"There's no antidote, is there?" Xu Tingchuan didn't even look up, yet he knew who had come in, and spoke softly.
Xiang Zhilan closed her eyes; she couldn't hide it from him after all. She hadn't expected him to find out so quickly.
“Yes, Sitian doesn’t want you to know that you risked your life to get that box, which only contained photos,” Xiang Zhilan said frankly, taking a deep breath.
Xu Tingchuan gave a bitter twitch at the corner of his mouth. His head still ached when he woke up in the morning, so he didn't think about it in particular.
But when he woke up again just now and looked at Ni Sitian's sleeping face, he suddenly realized something was wrong. He suspected that Ni Sitian was lying to him to reassure him.
As expected, it has now been confirmed that he did not obtain the antidote.
"Don't be sad yet. I have a friend who might have a way to cure the poison." Xiang Zhilan told Xu Tingchuan about Xin Zikai's connection with the developer of the AK501, and then said, "He's outside right now. I'll go and call him over."
Xu Tingchuan's eyes lit up when he heard there was hope. "Then quickly invite him in."
Xiang Zhilan turned and left the ward, and soon after, Xin Zikai brought her over.
Xin Zikai carried a hard leather suitcase on his back. After entering, he put the suitcase down and first bent down to examine Ni Sitian. He checked her eyelids and heartbeat, and his brows gradually furrowed.
"How is it?" Xiang Zhilan couldn't help but ask anxiously.
"I'll draw her blood first and take it back for testing." The tests he does are different from those at the hospital; he needs to collect two tubes of blood for a toxin test.
Xu Tingchuan could only place his hopes on this professor who looked younger than him, hoping that he knew his teacher well enough to create an antidote.
After collecting the blood sample, Xin Zikai packed up his box and said, "I'll get the test done as soon as possible."
He had traveled such a long distance and hadn't rested yet, so Xiang Zhilan felt very bad about having to go to the lab immediately. She suggested, "Let us take you there."
