Chapter 304: We Can Only Try to Save a Dead Horse
The phone was disconnected with a beep, and the room was dead silent.
They finally understood that everything was part of Bai Yujin's plan. This included their plan to obtain the medicine and gradually free Lu Yi from the drug's control by reducing the dosage. Bai Yujin had predicted this in advance.
She took the initiative to deliver the potion to the door, as if announcing to everyone with confidence - even if you get the potion, you can't save Lu Yi, you can only push him into the abyss step by step with your own hands.
Everyone's eyes fell on Meng Anran, but she turned her head to look at Lu Heng: "Your dear brother, you decide."
Lu Heng shirked responsibility: "Isn't his life under your care?"
Meng Anran: “…”
Actually, I don’t really want to care.
Meng Anran took a deep breath, her fingertips gently stroking the two green ampoules. She raised her head, her eyes flickering between Lu Heng and Elder Zhao. "No matter what, we can't just sit there and wait for death."
If you want to break this nightmare, you have to face the demon that created it.
"What are your plans?" Qin Mu asked. No matter what An Xiaoran planned, he would definitely support him.
"Remember I invested in the Haiyang Biotechnology Research Institute under the Lihai Group a few years ago?" Meng Anran raised his eyebrows, a plan in mind, "After so many years of investment, it finally came in handy."
Qin Mu immediately understood her idea: "Are you planning to use the research institute's equipment to do a genetic test on Lu Yi to see if you can analyze the toxins in his body?"
"I hope it works. Right now, we can only try our best." She turned to Lu Heng and said, "Take a dose of the medicine to your research institute and analyze the ingredients as soon as possible."
Since Bai Yujin took the initiative to deliver the medicine to their door, they must make good use of it. Maybe they can analyze the formula of the medicine and there will be hope of finding the antidote.
Lu Heng raised his eyebrows: "You are good at making arrangements."
Meng Anran was too lazy to waste time arguing with him. When she turned to look at Zhao Cizheng, she slowed down her tone and said, "Master, it's too late now. I will take you to the Yandu Hotel to spend the night, and then take you back to Yatang tomorrow."
"Why are you replying?" Zhao Cizheng waved her hand and glared at her angrily, "I'm staying right here! If Lu Yi attacks again, can you handle it with your half-baked medical skills?!"
Meng Anran's eyes trembled slightly, and a grateful smile appeared on her lips, "Thank you, Master."
Zhao Cizheng proudly flung her wide sleeves and snorted, "If you had continued to study medicine with me, you would have become a master by now!"
These words were said to Lu Heng. Meng Anran was very talented in medicine. If she had not been forced to leave Yatang, she would not have stopped here.
Zhao Ci Zheng only accepted this one disciple in her life, and he turned out to be just a half-baked one. How could she not be deeply resentful towards Lu Heng?
"Master, let's talk about this later." Meng Anran gently stroked Elder Zhao's shoulder and said soothingly. Then she winked at Lu Heng, who understood immediately, took a potion, and strode out.
Zhao Cizheng glanced at Meng Anran dissatisfiedly: "You are still protecting her."
"No, I'm just worried you'll get sick from being angry."
"You're really good at playing nice!" Zhao Cizheng couldn't do anything with his apprentice. He got angry for a moment, then waved his hand: "Alright, go and do your thing. I'll stay here and watch over Lu Yi."
"Thank you, Master." Meng Anran turned to look at Qin Mu and said, "You stay here with Master. Zhang Tao, come with me to Haiyang Biology."
"Okay." Qin Mu had no objection. He knew that what An Xiaoran was most worried about at the moment was Zhao Ci Zheng's safety. She asked him to stay here and watch because she was afraid that Lu Yi would suddenly go crazy and hurt someone.
Meng Anran pursed her lips and smiled. She knew that Qin Mu would always understand what she meant.
A long needle was inserted into Lu Yi's arm, and after drawing a tube of blood, Meng Anran put the blood into the refrigerator.
The remaining potion was left in Old Zhao's hands. If Lu Yi had convulsions again, he could use it when necessary.
The night was as dark as ink, and the two cars were driving in different directions.
On the way, Meng Anran called Song Xu.
"Miss An, don't you check the time before calling? What's going on so late that can't be discussed tomorrow?"
As soon as the phone was connected, Song Xu's tired and resentful voice came from the other end.
Meng Anran glanced at the time on the LCD screen in the car - 0:32.
"So what?" She didn't care, not feeling the slightest bit guilty about disturbing someone else's beautiful night. "If I'm not mistaken, you're still working overtime at the company, right?"
Song Xu: "...Tell me, what's the matter."
"Borrow Haiyang Biological's pass."
"What kind of pass do you, the major shareholder, need? You can just go there tomorrow."
"Now."
Song Xu was really tired after a day of work. Hearing Meng Anran's request, he scratched his hair in annoyance. "You really have nothing to do so late at night. What are you testing for?"
"Blood genes."
"Okay, there's someone else in Lab 10. I'll have someone open the side door for you."
"You don't ask me what I want to do?" Meng Anran raised her eyebrows, as if she didn't expect Song Xu to agree so readily.
Song Xu calmly turned a page in the document in his hand and said leisurely, "Sometimes knowing too much can be dangerous."
In the world of fame and fortune, the most taboo thing is to ask too many questions.
"Thank you." Meng Anran hung up the phone first.
Zhang Tao gripped the steering wheel tightly, his knuckles turning white. Uneasy, he looked through the rearview mirror at Meng Anran, who was sitting in the back seat holding the cooler. His expression was solemn, "Miss, if this is Bai Yujin's trap..."
"Then let's jump in and take a look." Meng Anran's voice was as cold as ice. "If she wanted Lu Yi dead, she wouldn't have gone to so much trouble to send medicine."
The lights at the Haiyang Biological Research Institute were brightly lit. Professor Zhou had been waiting at the side entrance. Seeing Meng Anran, he immediately came forward. "Mr. Song has made all the arrangements. The gene sequencer is already preheated."
Inside the lab, the precision instruments emitted a gentle hum. Meng Anran and Zhang Tao sat on chairs to one side, to avoid accidentally bumping into the instruments and affecting the results.
"Can genetic abnormalities be detected?" Meng Anran stared at the data jumping on the screen.
"It'll take time." Professor Zhou adjusted the parameters. Suddenly, he gasped, his voice filled with surprise. "This...this gene sequence is too abnormal! Has the original body been injected with banned drugs?"
Meng Anran hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Yes, the body has turned white."
Professor Zhou frowned with a complicated expression, "Generally speaking, drugs won't cause gene mutations. This situation has already caused irreversible damage to the original body."
At the same time, in Lu Heng's laboratory, the analysis results were also shocking.
During the video call, his researcher pointed to a molecular structure diagram and said, "Based on the composition, this is a neurological drug that will destroy a person's autonomous consciousness. It also contains a large amount of banned chemicals that will cause great harm to the human body."
"Speak human language." Lu Heng glanced over coldly.
The researcher shuddered and said simply, "This isn't used to treat mental illness. It's an attempt to alter a person's consciousness. If combined with hypnosis, it could cause even greater damage to their nerves. Just like... when Second Young Master Lu was ill."
Meng Anran's hair stood on end. She didn't dare to think too deeply about how evil Bai Yujin's purpose was.
"Remember that document you found in the basement of the Bogu Art Museum?" Lu Heng asked abruptly, his eyes growing darker. "Bai Yujin's 'White Dove Project' has never stopped."
