Tang Tian gritted her teeth as she recalled these things, "If I were at home, I would have beaten her to a pulp."

Wenwen shook her head. "It's useless. Your mother still has to stand up on her own. You are so violent. Why didn't you teach your mother all these years?"

Tang Tian was a little embarrassed. "I did all this without telling my family, not even my sister."

Wenwen covered her eyes. She was blind and had mistaken her for a clueless young lady. "Then you should call your mother often to brainwash her. Don't be too obvious. Just hint at her at first, little by little. Over time, she will change."

Tang Tian looked at her suspiciously. "Boiling a frog in warm water, how could that work? Honestly, I've given up on her changing. I'll just keep her by my side and stay away from those people."

Tang Tian sighed tiredly, "Let's give it a try. My grandpa said that my mom must return to the Lu family this time no matter what. I'm relieved."

Wenwen stood up and said, "Don't worry, you're already that old. I'll go to the lab, and if you're free, go help out in the workshop."

She continued to treat Councillor Ding and his wife in the afternoon.

I thought I was acting as a caring sister, but who knew she was a violent girl who could not overcome any obstacle. If there was one, she would just beat the person into submission.

Wenwen was sure that if the two people from the Tang family were not her elders, they would have been beaten badly.

Wenwen checked the fungi in the culture dishes, but none of them were successful. She frowned, wondering if the temperature was not controlled well.

He Hongchi saw her frown and said, "Why rush? This is how research works. There are no shortcuts. You can only explore slowly."

She knew that nothing could be accomplished overnight, but she felt a little impatient. "Master, have you made any progress here?"

He Hongchi shook his head. "I've tried countless experiments, but I'm still stuck at a critical point. However, the new drug I'm researching can be put into clinical trials after a while."

"Okay, the heart disease can finally be controlled. This is great." Wenwen swept away her previous irritability.

He Hongchi saw her smile and said, "It hasn't been clinically tested yet, and the efficacy and quality of the drug are unclear. It's too early to draw conclusions."

"Master, I believe that you are extraordinary. Master, the golden fungus I cultivated has not grown. Is it because the temperature is not controlled well?" Wenwen handed He Hongchi a culture dish with uneven mold development on it.

He Hongchi took it and examined it carefully. "Temperature is one factor. Maybe the mother plant of the mold is also too small."

Wenwen nodded. "It's difficult to control the temperature without a constant temperature chamber. We lack the necessary equipment. Often, even a small mistake can lead to a huge error. We lack precise instruments."

He Hongchi sighed, "We'll just have to take our time. Precision instruments are expensive, so it's going to be difficult!"

"Grandpa Shi and his men have gone to dig for treasures. I don't know if the Shi family's treasures are still there." The richest man is extremely rich, and I hope they haven't been stolen.

He Hongchi glared at her, "Can't you think of something better? Doesn't Brother Shi look like an unreliable person? He must be hiding something very secretive."

Wenwen was silent. Ordinary people certainly couldn't find it, but she was afraid that spies would find it. Aren't there enough things stolen from the Japanese tomb? Most of the treasures found from Qian Kun last time came from the tomb.

Seeing her silence, He Hongchi thought she was still worried about the cholera vaccine. "Vaccine research and development is extremely difficult, and as researchers, we need to be more focused."

She knew that her master was worried about her. "Master, I'm worried about how to buy equipment as soon as possible. Only with more sophisticated equipment can we research better medicines."

"There's no rush. You've already done everything you can to raise money. Aren't you planning on going abroad next year?"

Wenwen was a little distressed. "If I want to buy all the necessary equipment and production lines, the current funds are far from enough."

In the past decade or so, foreigners have cheated us out of a lot of money. It would be great if we could have our own R&D team.

Wenwen shook her head and said that she couldn't think too much anymore. She had to eat one bite at a time. Besides, she was short of funds and research and development was the most expensive thing.

Wenwen looked at the culture dish in her hand and now she should think carefully about how to cultivate good mold.

The fungi in the petri dish looked somewhat languid, lacking the expected vitality and growth. Wenwen sighed softly, feeling helpless.

After acupuncture treatment for Councillor Ding and his wife in the afternoon, He Hongchi carefully checked their blood for toxins and then took their pulses. After a while, he said to them, "The toxins have been cleared. To be absolutely sure, we'll treat them for two more days and they'll be cured."

Councillor Ding and his wife were pleasantly surprised. "Really? That's incredible, you're a miracle doctor. We are so grateful to you."

Mrs. Ding's eyes were slightly red. "Divine Doctor, can I still get pregnant?"

He Hongchi nodded. "Looking at the pulse, there's nothing wrong. But you still need to take some medicine for a while to recuperate. You can prepare for pregnancy in two or three months after stopping the medicine."

Mrs. Ding burst into tears of joy upon hearing this, "Thank you, miraculous doctor. Meeting you is the greatest blessing in our lives."

Wenwen handed her a handkerchief and said, "It's our fate to meet you. Besides, I'll need your help a lot in the future."

Mrs. Ding glared at her. "What trouble are you talking about? It's just a piece of cake. What you've done for us is nothing compared to that."

"Brother Shi has some antiques he wants to sell, and I'd like you to find a way to get them in Hong Kong." "We don't know what they are yet, but they probably aren't too valuable."

National treasures worth collecting must not be sold. At most, some gold and agate can be sold for emergency use.

Shi Fuze once told her what kind of antiques there were, but she didn't know much about them, so she could only ask Councillor Ding and his wife for help because they had connections.

Wenwen asked carefully, "Mrs. Ding, do you know the largest antique purchasing agency in Hong Kong?"

Mrs. Ding shook her head. "I heard there's an organization buying antiques from the mainland. Hong Kong is so small, and all the antiques are from the mainland."

Mrs. Ding lowered her voice, "One of my sisters once told me that those antiques are just like worthless goods. She also gave me an old item that came out of a tomb. I put it in the bank safe and dared not keep it at home."

She felt uneasy about the things that came out of the tomb, no matter how valuable they were.

She whispered in Wenwen's ear, "My little sister is the lover of a gang leader in Hong Kong."

Wenwen thought to herself, "Are all the antiques collected sold abroad?"

"That's probably right. Usually, we women don't talk about men's affairs when we are together. At most, we talk about gossip."

Wenwen burst out laughing. It was her impression. Two women, one was the wife of a gang boss and the other was the wife of a Hong Kong government official. Naturally, they would not talk about men's careers.

"Mrs. Ding, I'm sorry to bother you with Brother Shi's antique sales this time."

"Don't worry, it's just a small matter. He won't suffer any harm." Mrs. Ding agreed readily.
