Jiang Wan didn't even look up, only saying, "I want them alive."
A moment later, Cheng Zhen brought back two college students, a boy and a girl.
"I don't have time right now, tie their hands." Jiang Wan was preparing to mix the medicine and didn't want them to add anything unexpected later.
Cheng Zhen did as instructed.
The two worked together seamlessly, and Pingjiang couldn't help but glance at Cheng Zhen again.
Yu Fen was already used to it. He stared at Jiang Wan's movements for a long time but couldn't understand anything, so he went to chat with the twins.
"Hey little brother, do you know what your mother is doing?"
Jiang Xiaoshu flipped through her comic book, completely ignoring him.
Jiang Xiaoxin snorted and said arrogantly, "Xinxin is not going to tell you! You only ask your brother and not Xinxin. Don't discriminate against me because you favor boys! You're not a good person!"
Yu Fen was completely taken aback by the two children and couldn't help but say to Cheng Zhen, "Hey, boss, these twins of yours are interesting!"
"Shut up!"
"Shut up."
Two voices spoke in unison: one a warning from the ruthless captain, the other a look of disdain from the expert who was diligently conducting the experiment.
"Hey! Who are you? Why are you in our school's lab? What are you doing?" The girl asked.
Their hands were tied, but their mouths weren't gagged. After watching for a while, they were quite surprised to see how skillfully she operated the equipment, how precisely she controlled the various proportions, and how she didn't even need measuring cups, but went straight to the point where she was more experienced than their instructor. They exchanged glances.
"I'm making herbicide." Jiang Wan finally raised her eyelids, glanced at them slightly, then quickly turned back to concentrate on her work. "What's your major? What year are you in?"
Upon hearing that she was making herbicide, the two men's expressions changed drastically, and they struggled to their feet, trying to pounce on her.
"Hey, hey, hey?" Yu Fen kicked one of them over. "Behave yourselves, I'm asking you a question, tell me the truth!"
Cheng Zhen stayed by Jiang Wan's side, while also keeping an eye on the twins, who were watching with wide, curious eyes, as if they were watching a play.
Are these two children precocious or just incredibly carefree? Despite being in such a dangerous situation, they didn't cry or make a fuss at all, and showed no fear or tension whatsoever.
As soon as the commotion started, he looked up and saw Pingjiang's thoughtful gaze as he looked at the twins. He instinctively stepped forward to block Pingjiang's view.
The result was a joint complaint from the two little ones: "You're blocking my light!"
"Ugh, you smell awful! I'm going to throw up!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Fen immediately recalled yesterday's "stinky man" theory and burst into unkind laughter!
After being glared at by Cheng Zhen, he awkwardly touched his nose and suppressed a laugh.
Distracted like this, the two college students naturally didn't say anything.
Jiang Wan calmly finished preparing a bottle of reagent, then removed her protective goggles and mask, put on gloves, and walked over to them with the bottle of yellow medicine in hand.
She crouched down, her gaze sweeping over the two of them to make sure she didn't recognize them, and asked, "Now tell me, what exactly happened?"
A man and a woman shook their heads together: "I don't know, I don't know anything!"
Jiang Wan held up what she was holding and showed it to them: "Don't know? Then you should recognize this thing I'm holding, right?"
Both of them shook their heads, but their ashen faces and constricted pupils indicated that they knew and were familiar with the medicinal properties.
If that's the case, then things are much easier.
Jiang Wan deliberately moved closer to their faces: "From now on, I'll ask you questions, so think carefully before you speak. If you say even one wrong word and I'm not satisfied, I'm not sure if I'll get angry and my hand will tremble..."
As she spoke, she deliberately waved the reagent bottle in their faces.
The boy turned deathly pale with fright, while the girl screamed with her eyes closed, "Ahhh!!!"
The twins were startled and covered their ears in unison.
Jiang Wan said impatiently, "Shut up!"
"If you shout again, I'll test the effects of this medicine on you first!"
The girl immediately shut her mouth, and her screams stopped abruptly.
Jiang Wan first turned around to check on the twins, making sure they weren't frightened, before continuing to ask, "Did you tamper with the dodder's mutation?"
The two were about to shake their heads when Jiang Wan interrupted them, saying, "I don't have much patience. It doesn't matter whether you talk or not. As long as we have this medicine, we can get out safely."
"As for you, since you are traitors to humanity, then you may keep company with the dodder! It's just a waste of a little more potion."
As she spoke, she gestured to Cheng Zhen with her chin, indicating that he should drag the person out.
The two were truly terrified and spilled the beans: "We...we didn't mean to...we just wanted to avenge Professor Qin. This was written in his notebook, saying he wanted to cultivate new varieties, so we followed his instructions. We just don't know how it happened, and before we knew it, it just...like this..."
Cheng Zhen frowned: "So this mutated plant at your school was really created by you?"
The two nodded together, crying. They were filled with remorse for doing something wrong, creating the mutated plant, and harming everyone in the school.
They hid in the laboratory building trying to figure out a solution, but before they could find one, the others came in.
"You were just trying to stop me from mixing the potion. Do you even know what it is?"
The two looked confused and hesitant, but still honestly said, "We did it exactly according to Professor Qin's notes, without making a single mistake... Are you going to kill these dodders? But, but if we do that, we won't be able to find the murderer who killed Professor Qin!"
Jiang Wan frowned and stared at them, finding their speech incoherent and somewhat abnormal. After a long while, she asked, "Professor Qin? Is it Qin Ye? Where is his notebook?"
The two exchanged a glance and shook their heads together. Professor Qin's notebook was their most precious possession, and they would never hand it over!
Jiang Wan didn't waste any words and directly pulled out the stopper of the medicine bottle. A pungent smell instantly entered the nostrils of the two of them.
The girl was the first to lose her temper and said, "It's in the safe!"
Jiang Wan wasn't good at opening combination locks, so she left that task to Cheng Zhen.
Cheng Zhen cleaved the briefcase open with a single sword strike, but inside there was nothing but some gold bars.
"Where is it? Where's the professor's notebook? It's right here!"
Seeing that they didn't seem to be faking it, Jiang Wan asked again, "Where is the host of the dodder?"
Actually, she could have gotten the answer by asking Jiang Xiaoxin, but she didn't want her silly girl's special ability to be exposed, so she simply went to the trouble of asking them.
"You followed Professor Qin's notes, but you ended up with mutated dodder. Don't you want to think about why?"
Jiang Wan was about to persuade them again when suddenly a stem pierced through the window and rushed straight at them. Cheng Zhen and the others reacted instantly, attacking and protecting Jiang Wan. When they came to their senses, they saw two dodder stems piercing the skulls of the two college students.
