Chapter 246 To Find the Source
Jia Zhenzhen was choked like a chicken with its neck suffocated, unable to speak. She glared at Pei Jiuyan, but was afraid that Chen Zheng would hear her cursing, so her face turned red.
Qin Suisui couldn't help but laugh out loud. Pei Jiuyan really was... vindictive!
In just a short while, Chen Zheng had already walked over in a few steps.
This was Qin Suisui's first time meeting Chen Zheng. He was about 182 cm tall, not much shorter than Pei Jiuyan. He was wearing a crisp military uniform, with broad shoulders, long legs, and taut muscles. He exuded a strong sense of masculinity, a style completely different from Parman's, but he was certainly very eye-catching.
Chen Zheng came over, first saluted Pei Jiuyan, then greeted Qin Suisui, and finally looked at Jia Zhenzhen, a gentle smile spreading across his sunny and handsome face: "Zhenzhen, we meet again."
You went on a blind date yesterday, and you're already being so intimate today?
Qin Suisui, like a badger in a melon patch, stood beside the two of them, looking left and right, wanting to be the first to taste the melon, but Pei Jiuyan pulled her away: "Wife, come eat with me!"
When Jia Zhenzhen realized what was happening and tried to pull Qin Suisui away, she had already been pulled away by Pei Jiuyan and disappeared from sight.
Chen Zheng was left alone. She was nervous and embarrassed. She unconsciously lowered her head and gripped the ground with her toes. She didn't know what to say or what to do.
Even though I grew up surrounded by soldiers, when I saw Chen Zheng in his uniform, he looked exceptionally neat and... good-looking!
She lowered her head, her mind racing, when suddenly, a muffled laugh came from above her.
She looked up in confusion and saw Chen Zheng smiling at her: "Zhenzhen, why are your ears so red?"
Jia Zhenzhen subconsciously raised her hand to touch her ear, and then heard Chen Zheng speak again: "Do you want to go to the cafeteria for lunch? I heard they have braised pork ribs today. Don't you like that? I'll treat you."
Once the two were seated in the cafeteria, Jia Zhenzhen realized, "Wait, I already had lunch with Sui Sui! Why am I eating here again?!"
But since she was already there, she felt she could eat a little more.
Besides... I can't let Chen Zheng know that I can eat so much, can I?
Chen Zheng chuckled and glanced at the oil stain that Jia Zhenzhen had accidentally left on her collar during lunch, pretending not to notice it. He then put another piece of pork rib on her plate: "You probably don't come to this cafeteria very often, right? This chef's cooking is quite good. Eat more if you're hungry; it's good for your health."
Jia Zhenzhen originally wanted to act reserved, but Chen Zheng's words hit the nail on the head. She quickly put down the bowl she was holding and looked at him with bright eyes: "I didn't expect you to be so enlightened! My grandma back home always said that girls shouldn't think about eating all day long, but should do more work and be more diligent so that they can get married easily."
Chen Zheng chuckled: "That's perfect, the opposite of what my grandma said."
Jia Zhenzhen looked at him curiously: "What did your grandma say?"
"My grandma said that men are tough and strong, and are naturally good at working."
Jia Zhenzhen chuckled, and then Chen Zheng spoke up again: "So in our family, at first my grandfather and father did the work, but after my grandfather passed away and I grew up, my father and I did the work."
“So, you don’t need to worry.” He looked at Jia Zhenzhen, a hint of a smile in his eyes.
Jia Zhenzhen instantly understood the implied meaning in that sentence, but she pretended not to understand and muttered under her breath, "What's there to be worried about..."
Little did she know, the tips of her slightly red ears had already betrayed her.

Qin Suisui waited for a long time in Pei Jiuyan's office but Jia Zhenzhen didn't show up. She realized that Jia Zhenzhen was probably out with Chen Zheng. So she told Pei Jiuyan that she was going home first.
Although she has a talent for drug research, she is not invincible. During this period, she encountered a problem that she tried many methods without success, and she even sought help from her mentor.
But all Palon could offer was her advice: to find a fundamental solution, one should look back to the source.
The key ingredient in this antidote is the *Erigeron breviscapus* flower, which is known as the "miracle herb of southern Yunnan." Originally, it was an excellent medicine for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, but the Japanese insanely used it to make poison.
This problem had been troubling Qin Suisui for a long time, and in the last two days she finally made up her mind to go to Yunnan Province in person.
When Pei Jiuyan returned that evening, Qin Suisui told him about the decision.
She had initially thought Pei Jiuyan wouldn't agree, given how far Yunnan Province was. However, after hearing her words, Pei Jiuyan raised an eyebrow slightly. Qin Suisui noticed his expression, her brow furrowed, and she subconsciously asked, "What? You're not going to say that you're going too, are you?"
Pei Jiuyan smiled and nodded: "I was just about to tell you, do you remember Liu Jianye from Beijing?"
"The person who led Grandpa Pei down the path of jade gambling?"
Qin Suisui certainly remembered him. She not only remembered him, but also remembered that she bought 12 stones from him and found imperial green jade. Later, Pei Jiuyan even exposed the person behind the illegal iron mine because of him, obtained a whole truckload of stones, brought them back and gave them to her. As a result, she found a lot of jadeite, and her spatial ability was upgraded because of this opportunity.
"Didn't you say before that this matter had been transferred to Beijing?"
Pei Jiuyan nodded, but it was inconvenient to tell Qin Suisui more details. He only said that the forces behind them were complicated and that the capital city had entrusted Pei Jiuyan to lead people to secretly investigate and find out what was going on.
Pei Jiuyan and his group were originally scheduled to depart in two days, so Qin Suisui planned to go with him. She arrived at the medicinal herb garden ahead of time to inform Su Yunyi and the others.
Fortunately, the medicinal herbs have now been harvested and a new batch has been planted. Su Yunyi and Jia Zhenzhen are able to handle these matters.
Upon learning that Qin Suisui was actually going to Yunnan Province, Jia Zhenzhen immediately frowned: "Suisui, I heard that the border there is very chaotic, and there are many mountains and dangers. I'm worried about you going alone. Why don't I go with you?"
Su Yunyi nodded in agreement: "Yes, Sui Sui, Zhenzhen is right. I'll take care of things at the herb garden, and the brigade leader will also come to help. Why don't you let Zhenzhen go with you? Zhenzhen is strong, and the two of you can look after each other."
Qin Suisui thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, but I need to apply to the organization for this."
She went to Yunnan Province under the guise of a laboratory, but her identity couldn't be exposed, so she definitely couldn't openly use the laboratory's name. Therefore, Qin Suisui estimated that she would probably still go under the name of a military hospital.
Currently, medicinal herb cultivation is being established across the country. Many places are cultivating their own unique medicinal herbs very well, and there are also activities for mutual visits and learning between the two places, just like when she went to Changbai Mountain before.
Sure enough, the next morning, when Pei Jiuyan returned from morning training, he handed her an envelope containing her letter of introduction. As expected, her identity was listed as "Researcher of the Medicinal Herb Cultivation Project at the Military Region Hospital." In addition to her, there was another person from the laboratory.
His name is Hu Jue.
