"Mom, what do you mean?"
An Li smiled mysteriously: "The secret cannot be revealed! Anyway, you go back and do what you need to do. I have my own way."
Seeing his mother's confidence, Lu An Ning felt more at ease. Since she didn't say anything, Lu An Ning didn't ask any further questions. But Liu Lin still blamed herself for this matter. Even with An Li's comfort, she still blamed herself.
At the entrance of the experimental base, Liu Lin had a bitter face and tears in her eyes.
"An Ning, I really didn't expect Xiao Han to do something like this. Do you think he has any difficulties?"
Lu Anning frowned, remembering Xiao Han's arrogant look in the box. She really didn't know how to comfort Liu Lin. She had known Xiao Han for so long and had always considered him a confidant. Now, being betrayed by someone closest to her must be a tough feeling.
She patted Liu Lin's shoulder gently: "People change. Perhaps we never really knew him."
Liu Lin nodded absentmindedly, apparently not listening to Lu An Ning's words.
"Things have already happened, and we have to learn to accept it. Now that he has made his decision, then you..."
"No! We can't just let this go. Even if Professor An doesn't blame me, I can't just sit there and do nothing. Xiao Han is my man. Even if Professor An doesn't pursue the matter, I'm going to go find him and get to the bottom of it."
After she finished speaking, Liu Lin had already gotten into the car, and it was too late for Lu An Ning to stop her.
Seeing Liu Lin's complicated expression, she said nothing more.
The relationship between these two people is too complicated. Perhaps it would be better for her to see Xiao Han's true appearance with her own eyes.
Soon, Gong Pharmaceutical announced that it had successfully developed the latest anti-cancer drug, which is expected to completely cure cancer patients, minimize toxic side effects as much as possible, and free patients from the pain of the disease.
This news brought hope to countless families in dire straits. Online, calls for this anti-cancer drug to be released soon were surging.
Gong Pharmaceuticals took advantage of this momentum to hold a press conference, announcing that it would publicly sell anti-cancer drugs to patients for clinical verification. It also emphasized that all drugs involved in this clinical trial would be distributed free of charge, and called on patients in need to register.
This news instantly caused a sensation in the entire medical community. At the beginning of the year, the team led by Professor An and a major domestic company had just started a new project. The main research direction was ancient prescriptions that could cure cancer. It was said that this project had entered the final verification stage and would soon have results.
Unexpectedly, before Professor An received any news, Gong Pharmaceuticals had already succeeded in its research.
Naturally, no one cared whether the formula was Western medicine or traditional Chinese medicine; what mattered to everyone was the effectiveness and cost. Gong's family even claimed to be distributing the medicine for free, and immediately, many people flocked to the hospital, hoping to use this opportunity to heal themselves or their families.
In just a few days, Gong's Pharmaceuticals received rave reviews from everyone.
"I heard that the expert who developed the drug will be present at the press conference. He's a very young man!"
"It really benefits everyone! The boss of Gong's is such a kind person, they will definitely be blessed with great fortune."
"While it's still in the clinical trial stage and free, hurry up and fill out the information to grab a spot. Otherwise, once this drug is actually on the market and you pay to buy it, who knows how expensive it will be."
Of course, there are also rational people who question the Gong family's behavior.
"Since it's still in the clinical trial stage, doesn't this mean publicly recruiting participants? This involves taking risks. If anything goes wrong during the trial, will the Gong Group be held responsible?"
However, such voices were quickly drowned out by the praises and went unnoticed.
Lu Anning was recuperating at home and had heard a lot of news about the Gong family. Seeing how much they were promoting the news, he was still a little worried.
In just one month, Xiao Han was reportedly already the leader of Gong's R&D team, enjoying considerable respect. After all, he had been at the experimental base before, so was it possible that he had taken the ancient formula from his mother?
She was so lost in thought that she didn't even notice Tang Jingyuan had returned home.
"What are you thinking about? Why are you so absorbed?"
A gentle voice came from behind, and Lu Anning finally came back to her senses. When she turned around, she saw Tang Jingyuan standing behind her. She opened her arms towards Tang Jingyuan out of habit, and Tang Jingyuan took her in his arms and sat down.
Lu Anning leaned on him, looking lazy.
"You should come back early today."
"I brought my work back home because I was worried you'd be bored. But when I came in, I saw you sitting on the sofa in a daze. Are you feeling unwell today?"
Lu Anning stretched and shook his head.
She has not felt any discomfort since she became pregnant, but she has become much lazier and doesn't like to move. She can sleep all afternoon after lunch, but before ten o'clock in the evening, she starts to feel sleepy again.
Fortunately, when she went to the hospital for a prenatal check-up, all the indicators were good, so she was not too worried.
"I saw the news about Gong's family."
Tang Jingyuan raised an eyebrow: "Are you still worried? It's all within Mom's expectations, so don't worry about it. If you're bored, I'll take you to the Gong family's press conference tomorrow to see something exciting."
Lu Anning suddenly became excited: "Can we go?"
He waved the invitation in his hand: "The Gong family father and son are too arrogant. They specially sent me an invitation. Mom also has one."
"This is a deliberate attempt to irritate us."
"That depends on whether they have the ability."
With nothing to do, Lu Anning decided to join in the fun.
The press conference the next day was even grander than she had imagined. All the famous journalists and weekly magazines in Kyoto came, and the entire venue was packed inside and out.
Lu Anning, wearing a loose-fitting long skirt, was carefully escorted by Tang Jingyuan into the venue through the VIP channel. A reporter spotted the two and tried to approach for an interview, but was stopped by Lin Tao.
"Everyone, today is Gong's Pharmaceuticals' press conference. Don't forget the theme."
Lin Tao smiled politely, but his eyes were intimidating enough to easily scare away the reporters who rushed forward.
Tang Jingyuan's appearance had already made the atmosphere become subtle after everyone thought about it carefully. An Li's appearance made everyone present understand the intention of the Gong family.
It has been heard for a long time that Gong's most trusted expert was poached from Professor An's experimental base. It is conceivable that he poached not only this person, but now he also invited his rival to attend the press conference. His intention is self-evident.
An Li didn't care about other people's looks at all. After sitting down, she was only concerned about Lu An Ning's physical condition. She saw that her face was rosy and her eyes were full of smiles.
But after a while, the real owner also appeared.
Under the spotlight, Xiao Han and the Gong family father and son stood side by side on the stage, all three of them dressed in suits and ties, making them look well-dressed. No one cared what kind of heart was hidden behind their bright and beautiful appearance.
