Chapter 509 Two Rice Grains
Upon learning that Han Ying and Lu Yuan had returned, Lei Minghu, Li Ping and Liu Hefeng took turns reporting to them about the farm's situation this week.
The two were very happy to see that the farm was running smoothly during their absence.
After Lei Minghu and the others reported their work and left, Gu Yuanping learned that they had returned and actually came to the farm in person.
Han Ying was a little surprised to see Gu Yuanping, because he looked very bad at the moment.
In the past, Gu Yuanping was usually accompanied by two people when he traveled, but today he drove here by himself.
Seeing that Gu Yuanping looked so bad, Han Ying guessed that it was because of Professor Li's failed operation.
"Did you see the message I sent?"
Gu Yuanping was referring to Professor Li’s matter.
Han Ying could tell that Gu Yuanping's voice was a little tense.
She knew that Gu Yuanping had a good relationship with Professor Li.
The first time I met Gu Yuanping was on the day when he bought a new mobile phone at Pengcheng Base.
At that time, Professor Li was in Gu Yuanping's office, asking him to give two places no matter what.
At that time, the entire base had only 20 quotas for purchasing new mobile phones. The fact that they were able to reserve two quotas for Professor Li despite the pressure from the entire base showed that their relationship was indeed strong.
"I see. Didn't they say that you should take care of your body first before the surgery? How come the news of the surgery failure came out?"
Lu Yuan still remembers the last time he went to see Professor Li. At that time, Professor Li said that he would take care of his body before going to Kyoto.
The surgery will be performed when the body is ready for it.
That is why, after knowing the effects of the spiritual liquid these two days, Lu Yuan thought about finding an opportunity to go to Kyoto.
But I didn’t expect how long it had been since we arrived in Kyoto?
Why did the operation fail?
"That was the original plan, but Professor Li's condition suddenly worsened within two days of his arrival. We had no choice but to perform surgery immediately."
Gu Yuanping only learned about Professor Li's failed surgery last night. He was completely stunned.
Because he didn't expect to have the surgery so soon.
Seeing that the two people opposite him also looked unacceptable, Gu Yuanping continued: "I killed him. If I hadn't sent him to Kyoto, perhaps..."
As he spoke, Gu Yuanping put his hands on his eyes, and Han Ying saw water stains between his fingers.
When Gu Yuanping heard last night that Professor Li had to undergo surgery ahead of schedule due to worsening of his condition, he wondered if it was because of the fatigue from the journey from Jiangcheng to Kyoto that caused his condition to worsen?
If that's the case, then he was responsible for Professor Li's death.
"Deputy Base Commander, although it was you who suggested going to Kyoto for treatment, it was Professor Li who agreed to it himself."
Seeing Gu Yuanping's self-blame, Han Ying felt helpless.
She saw that Gu Yuanping seemed to be getting stuck in a rut and was even taking the blame for Professor Li's death on himself.
She was also sad about Professor Li's departure, but it was definitely not Gu Yuanping's fault.
Under the circumstances at that time, Jiangcheng did not have the conditions to treat Professor Li.
Although we know that there might be a solution in Kyoto, the chances of curing a brain tumor are actually not high.
If Professor Li had not been sent to Kyoto and had died of illness in Jiangcheng, Gu Yuanping would definitely regret not sending him to Kyoto for treatment.
The most important thing is that Professor Li's condition stabilized before leaving Jiangcheng.
After all, it doesn't matter whether he died in Jiangcheng or was sent to Kyoto for surgery.
As long as the final result is not good, Gu Yuanping will regret it.
"Before he left, he told me to give this to you if he never came back."
Gu Yuanping quickly adjusted his mood and handed a palm-sized box to Lu Yuan.
The box was small and there was a lock on it.
Gu Yuanping did not give the key to Lu Yuan because Professor Li did not give him the key when he gave him the thing.
Of course he knew what was inside, because Gu Yuanping watched Professor Li put the things in.
As for why Professor Li gave that thing to Lu Yuan instead of taking it to Kyoto, Gu Yuanping was still a little puzzled.
But he did not stop him, thinking that he just wanted to give Peng Lai another chance.
Lu Yuan took the box, picked up the lock and looked at it, then he knew where the key was.
The key was in the two iron boxes that Professor Li gave him when he and Han Ying went to see Professor Li for the last time.
Inside are all the keys to the entire farm.
He and Han Ying matched each key to the lock, but in the end there was one extra key.
I didn't expect that the key was actually used to open this small box.
"I delivered the stuff. You just got back. Have a good rest."
After saying this, Gu Yuanping left, but his mental state did not look very good.
Seeing Gu Yuanping leaving, Han Ying called Liu Hefeng.
She asked him to send Gu Yuanping back because his mental condition looked really bad and Han Ying was afraid that something might happen on the way.
After hanging up the phone, Han Ying saw Lu Yuan studying the small box.
It was a small wooden box, somewhat similar to the small jewelry boxes of ancient times.
Lu Yuan took out the extra key and opened the small box in front of him.
The things inside made the two of them feel a little strange.
There was actually a small glass bottle in the box, and there seemed to be something inside the glass bottle.
Lu Yuan took out the glass bottle and looked at what was inside, and found that there were actually two grains of rice.
"This is?"
Han Ying raised her hand and gently shook the small glass bottle in Lu Yuan's hand.
“It’s really rice.”
Rice is still easy to recognize. Although the color of this rice looks a little different from ordinary rice, the two still recognized it.
There is no way Professor Li would just give Lu Yuan two grains of rice. This thing must be very complicated.
Maybe it's a new type of rice or a mutant rice.
However, the possibility of the two knowing about the new type of rice is relatively small, because if it is a new type of rice, there must be news about it at the research institute.
