"Him? Judging from the circumstances of his death, it's been at least half a month. What happened?" Li Jin asked.
“Just now, this person attacked me, and I fired several shots at him but he was unharmed,” Bai Zilin said. “If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t believe that such an unbelievable thing could happen in this world.”
"This person attacked you? How is that possible? He was a corpse." Li Jin was stunned, a look of disbelief on his face.
“Can something I’ve seen with my own eyes really be false? Senior brother, there are too many things in this world that we can’t understand. I believe Ye Xingchen can definitely handle this. Let him give it a try,” Bai Zilin said.
Li Jin had nothing to say and could only let Bai Zilin push all these girls into the sunlight.
Ye Xingchen rolled up a girl's sleeve and saw that her arm was covered with dense, blood-red symbols.
The edges of these symbols gleamed with gold, but under the sunlight, the color of these blood-red symbols slowly faded.
Soon, these symbols completely disappeared under the sunlight. Ye Xingchen formed a hand seal and gently pointed into the void.
A beam of spiritual light formed in mid-air, and several beams of light descended from the sky, enveloping the surroundings with a cool sensation. As this coolness spread, the unconscious little girls slowly awoke.
"She's awake! She's really awake!" Bai Zilin said happily.
"They were just a little frightened, nothing serious. Let's wait until they recover before interrogating them," Ye Xingchen said.
"Okay, thank you." Bai Zilin nodded, then called to the people and took the girls to the hospital. Next, they would notify the families to take the girls home.
Back at the Xia Mansion, Ye Xingchen stood in the pavilion in the backyard, gazing at the artificial lake, remaining silent for a long time.
A fragrant breeze wafted behind him, and Si Qianyu arrived.
"Why are you here?" Ye Xingchen's eyes showed a hint of surprise when he saw Si Qianyu.
She should be with her parents right now.
"My father is cured." Si Qianyu said with a slight smile, "Thank you this time."
"Why are you being so polite with me?" Ye Xingchen smiled. "They're going back now, right? Why don't you go back with them and stay for a while?"
“I was originally going to go back with them for a short stay, but if I leave, you’ll be all alone in Yanjing.” Si Qianyu said slowly, “There are too many enemies, and I’m afraid you won’t be able to handle them.”
"In Yanjing, there is no enemy I cannot handle," Ye Xingchen smiled.
“That won’t do either.” Si Qianyu rolled her eyes at Ye Xingchen: “The Ye family has invited the Ghost Doctor of the Underworld Mountain. Although Jiang Yongkang is not a threat, he is still known as the Ghost Doctor and has many strange skills. We must be wary of him.”
"Besides, judging from your expression, it seems you've encountered some new problem?"
“We just rescued a few girls and encountered zombies. This is no ordinary kidnapping case,” Ye Xingchen said. “Moreover, I saw blood-weeping demonic patterns on their arms. If I’m not mistaken, this is a method used by Yinshan.”
"The Three Heroes of Yinshan have come to Yanjing?" Si Qianyu frowned slightly.
"I'm afraid so," Ye Xingchen said. "That old man from the Zhou family is from the same lineage as Yinshan. They will definitely blame me for the Zhou family's downfall."
"Those three from Yinshan, although they haven't left Yinshan for a long time, are well-versed in evil arts and have always been elusive. Their presence in Yanjing is likely to stir up some trouble."
“Then I can’t leave even more.” Si Qianyu said with a light smile, “In Yanjing, you have too many people you care about and too many enemies. You really can’t handle it all by yourself. Let me stay in Yanjing and help you.”
Ye Xingchen gently took her hand: "Thank you."
"You gave me my life, why thank me?" Si Qianyu smiled faintly. "By the way, Ms. Xia is meeting with a guest, who seems to be from abroad. Would you like to meet them?"
"Overseas?" Ye Xingchen was slightly taken aback, then remembered that his mother was talking to the head of Nuoxing Laboratory about some projects related to the laboratory's establishment. He nodded and said, "I'll go over there."
In the reception room of the Xia Mansion, Xia Jingyi was talking with a foreigner.
The foreigner was none other than Hughes, whom Ye Xingchen had met at the hospital. He was speaking fluent Mandarin with Xia Jingyi.
“Ms. Xia, I believe you are sincere in making the laboratory a reality, but if I may be frank, I have inspected major hospitals in Yanjing and I feel that almost all of them are contrary to the original intention of establishing the Nord Laboratory.”
Hughes said with some regret, "So, thank you for your hospitality, but this time, I'm afraid we really can't cooperate."
“Mr. Hughes, I am aware of the situation in China.” Xia Jingyi said with some regret, “We have been trying to change the status quo, but it will take some time.”
“Laboratory cooperation is related to people’s livelihood, and China’s pharmaceutical research and development capabilities are also first-class. I hope you can seriously consider it.” Xia Jingyi made a final effort: “Or, we can set up a dedicated laboratory outside the hospital.”
“No, Ms. Xia, given the current situation in China, I think you need some time to change things.” Hughes shook his head and picked up his tea: “Your tea is very good, thank you.”
Xia Jingyi felt somewhat helpless, but she knew that once foreigners made a decision, it was generally impossible to change it.
She made a lot of effort for this collaboration, but the domestic medical institutions really didn't stand up for themselves at all.
"Mom." Just then, Ye Xingchen walked in.
"You're back?" Xia Jingyi said with a smile. "Mr. Hughes, let me introduce you. This is my son, Ye Xingchen. He runs a traditional Chinese medicine company."
"Oh, teacher, it's you?" Hughes looked shocked and quickly stood up.
"You two know each other?" Xia Jingyi looked at the two of them with some surprise.
“I know him. We met at the hospital the day before yesterday. We even made an appointment for him to teach me Traditional Chinese Medicine,” Hughes said with a smile.
He is a very eager learner, especially fond of traditional Chinese medicine. Unfortunately, he can only learn the basics because advanced medical skills are based on experience. Besides, he is a foreigner, so how could anyone teach him advanced traditional Chinese medicine?
"That's great, son, come here." Xia Jingyi was overjoyed, not expecting that there would be a turning point in the matter.
"Mom, you don't need to say anything, I understand." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly: "Hughes, I think you should reconsider the matter of the laboratory."
"The pharmaceutical company I run is Xingchen Pharmaceuticals. We have an anti-cancer drug that has already been launched. I think you must have been aware of it, right?"
"My God, you wouldn't happen to be the founder of that cancer-reducing pill, would you?" Hughes exclaimed in surprise. "I know about that drug. Our lab even bought it and conducted experimental analysis, but we can't reconstitute or replicate its ingredients."
