“Dr. Zhao, he’s from Xuan Yu Pavilion. Doesn’t he need approval to come to a place like this? Besides, he’s the boss of Xingchen Group. He developed the Cancer-Dissolving Pill. Do you think he can save people?” Ling Yan retorted.
"Is he Ye Xingchen?" Dr. Zhao glanced at Ye Xingchen in surprise, then said, "Director, let's go out. Everyone, please leave so as not to disturb Mr. Ye's rescue."
"Have you heard of him?" Chen Wei asked after they went outside.
"I've heard of him. He has the medical skills to bring the dead back to life. He developed the Cancer-Dissolving Pill, and even Doctor Yuan said he was ashamed of his own inferiority." Outside the laboratory, Dr. Zhao watched Ye Xingchen save people inside with unwavering eyes.
“Then there’s hope for Wade.” Chen Wei breathed a sigh of relief. “He’s an expert we worked so hard to get. If something happens to him, who will trust me with top talent from abroad in the future?”
Ye Xingchen used acupuncture to expel the poison, and then gave Wade an antidote pill, which immediately made the guy lively and energetic again.
If he hadn't just recovered from his injuries, he would have definitely invited Ye Xingchen out for grilled lamb kidneys.
"Hello, I'm Chen Wei, the head of the lab and Ling Yan's boss." After Ye Xingchen came out, Chen Wei warmly extended his hand to express his gratitude.
"Zhao Gang, a laboratory surgery expert, I've long admired your name." Dr. Zhao also extended his hand.
"I've heard so much about you." Ye Xingchen exchanged pleasantries with the two of them: "The foreigner you invited is fine. The toxins have been cleared, and he'll be alright after a few days of rest. Don't worry."
"Thank you so much, Mr. Ye," Chen Wei said. "Dai Wei's identity is extraordinary, and he has a lot of influence. If he really dies here, we won't be able to explain it to the people we are trying to win over."
"It's nothing, I'll head back now." Ye Xingchen smiled and was about to leave.
"Mr. Ye," Chen Wei called out to him.
"Is there anything else, Director Chen?" Ye Xingchen asked.
"Since you're here, why don't you take a tour of our laboratory?" Chen Wei said with a smile.
"No, no, the security level here is too high. I'll stick to the rules and follow the confidentiality regulations." Ye Xingchen shook his head.
"Haha, don't worry about that, Lingyan. Show your fiancé around and let him have a simple meal here," Chen Wei said with a smile.
"We're not officially a couple yet, Director Chen, please stop teasing me." Ling Yan blushed. She had spoken without thinking in the heat of the moment, and now that Chen Wei had brought it up, she felt a little embarrassed.
"It's alright, you two are a perfect match, and our institute needs people like you." Chen Wei chuckled.
"Alright." Ling Yan led Ye Xingchen around the base for most of the day, introducing him to the base's main research directions.
"What you need to tackle now is limb regeneration?" Ye Xingchen listened to her introduction, which focused on this point the whole time.
“Several projects are underway at the same time, but limb regeneration is the top priority,” Ling Yan said. “This is different from limb replantation; it requires very complex gene sequencing. Currently, research and development has stalled, which is why we spared no expense and risked exposing several spies to bring him back.”
"Actually, this is not a difficult task. It was mentioned in the ancient shamanistic practices." Ye Xingchen pondered, "As long as you give me a rare and precious material, I can do it."
"You can do it?" Ling Yan asked incredulously. "What do you need? The base will mobilize all its resources to find it."
“We can’t find them. In ancient times, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was abundant, which is why we had those unparalleled natural treasures.” Ye Xingchen shook his head: “Now the spiritual energy is almost depleted, and there are no spiritual-grade medicines at all.”
"Just tell us what it is. Whether we can find it or not is our business." Ling Yan rolled her eyes at him.
"I'll draw what the Rebirth Flower looks like for you." Ye Xingchen found some paper and pen and casually drew the appearance of the Rebirth Flower before handing it to her.
Ling Yan handed it directly to the staff and asked them to upload it to the server.
"Alright, I won't keep you for dinner. The food at the research institute isn't very good. I'll take you home," Ling Yan said with a smile.
She drove her McLaren home and took Ye Xingchen back.
It was getting late, and the ring road was congested, so Ling Yan deliberately found a quiet side road.
"This road is very remote, isn't it?" Ye Xingchen said, looking at the fact that there were almost no pedestrians or vehicles on the road.
“Yes, it’s a very secluded road, I often take it.” Ling Yan glanced at Ye Xingchen: “You really want me to take you back?”
"Otherwise what?" Ye Xingchen looked at her, puzzled.
"Hmph." Ling Yan was a little displeased: "He didn't even invite me on a date or anything."
"This..." Ye Xingchen was both amused and exasperated: "Didn't you have to work?"
"Getting back to the point, when are you going to my house to propose marriage?" Ling Yan asked directly.
"Propose marriage?" Ye Xingchen asked in surprise, "We need to propose marriage?"
"Hmph, of course. In prominent families of Yanjing, a proper marriage involves formalities, including three letters and four betrothal gifts." Ling Yan glared at him. "Aren't you going to take the initiative?"
"It's not that I'm not proactive," Ye Xingchen said after thinking for a moment. "Right now, I don't even have a proper title. Wouldn't it be beneath you to propose?"
"Do you want to wait until you return to the Ye family?" Ling Yan asked.
"I never said I wanted to go back to the Ye family." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly. "The Ye family is powerful now, but I don't take them seriously. I want to rebuild the Ye family and replace them."
"You want to replace them?" Ling Yan was taken aback. "That's not an easy thing to do."
“They are powerful now, but Ye Taihe is seriously ill, Ye Chengen is incompetent, and the Ye family has no one else who can be relied upon,” Ye Xingchen said. “Like a big tree whose roots have been completely eaten away, how long can they hold on?”
"How long do you want me to wait?" Ling Yan looked at Ye Xingchen with a hint of resentment in her eyes: "Don't make me wait for ten or eight years, or I'll be an old maid by then."
"Don't worry, I will propose marriage within three years no matter what." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly: "How can you, the eldest daughter of the Ling family, marry an unknown nobody? I guarantee that within three years, I will stand at the top and welcome you into the family in a grand and glorious manner."
"Really?" Ling Yan was delighted, and then said, "You men all know how to make empty promises, but even if I know you're just making empty promises, I'm still very happy. I'll wait for you for three years, and marry me after three years."
"I guarantee it," Ye Xingchen said confidently.
"Then I'll trust you this once. It's the first time I've ever believed a man's words. If..."
As Ling Yan was speaking, suddenly, a dump truck rushed out from the intersection and crashed into her sports car.
Being a woman, Ling Yan was immediately terrified. She gripped the steering wheel and stared blankly at the oncoming dump truck, forgetting even to step on the brakes.
Ye Xingchen grabbed her seatbelt, and with a surge of his inner energy, snapped it in an instant. He then pulled her up and slammed her against the car door.
