Chapter 130 Poisoning

When they arrived at the agreed coffee shop, Liang Youjun was holding a box of New Year gifts in his hands. He felt embarrassed when he handed it to Shen Linglan, "Happy New Year, Miss Shen. This is what my mother asked me to give to you."

It is normal to carry things in your hands when visiting relatives and friends during festivals.

Shen Linglan was also a little embarrassed. She took the gift box and said, "Thank you and Aunt Ye. I came in a hurry and didn't bring any gifts. What do you want to drink today? I'll treat you. Also, please bring a piece of cake to Aunt Ye to express my gratitude later."

Liang Youjun nodded, but only ordered a hot American coffee.

"Isn't the laboratory run by Miss Shen near here?"

Liang Youjun was not good at beating around the bush. After Shen Linglan nodded, he asked, "You are not studying this, are you? Why are you interested in biology? And what is the meaning of your call to me?"

If it was an ordinary girl, Liang Youjun would probably just think that she was a fan of doomsday novels and movies, but Shen Linglan was not an ordinary person.

But seeing that she was able to buy a house and start a company, I knew she was not the kind of person who would do anything reckless. Maybe, like him, she had come into contact with something extraordinary and thus noticed something different about the world.

"right."

Shen Linglan seemed to have answered Liang Youjun directly, but in fact she was just perfunctory and did not resolve Liang Youjun's doubts.

"What about you, Mr. Liang?" Shen Linglan also asked her own question, "What do you think about the end of the world?"

"I'm just a fan of doomsday themes." Liang Youjun said with a smile.

The two of them were like practicing Tai Chi, neither of them willing to reveal their secrets first.

After finishing a cup of coffee, Shen Linglan raised her hand and ordered another cake, preparing for Liang Youjun to take it back.

Liang Youjun didn't expect that Shen Linglan was just asking casually and didn't say anything useful from beginning to end. According to his hunch, he could feel that Shen Linglan might know something.

His premonitions were always accurate. At least last September, his premonition saved him once.

Liang Youjun was somewhat unwilling to let it end like this. This was the first time he met someone other than his mother who knew about his "doomsday" but did not laugh at him.

Maybe, I can take a gamble and bet that Shen Linglan really has some secret.

Liang Youjun was hesitant, and suddenly remembered that Shen Linglan was studying at Q University, which was not far from his own school.

Just as the waiter brought the cake in a box, Liang Youjun asked, "Ms. Shen, you are studying at Q University. Is it on the south side of the university city?"

Shen Linglan nodded. "Q University, B University, and W Medical School are all on the south side of the university city. What's the matter?"

Liang Youjun's thick and long eyelashes fluttered, and it took her a moment to raise her head and look directly at Shen Linglan, "I studied undergraduate at W Medical College. So I have always been curious about the system in the human body that can operate and heal itself."

Shen Linglan hummed and listened very carefully.

"I have also been studying those strange diseases, such as those that can make people go crazy instantly, those that can cause the human body system to collapse instantly... and so on. Later, my teacher pulled me into a research group, where I came into contact with many incredible things."

It was only after joining that research group that I realized that genius is almost the same as madness.

And based on the enthusiasm some lunatics have for viruses and bacteria, Liang Youjun feels that the end of the world is bound to come.

"Then why do you want to study abroad?" Shen Linglan asked. She was very curious why someone who was valued by teachers and immersed in research did not stay in the country.

"Because the project team was cancelled by the higher-ups, my teacher was also sent to jail."

Shen Linglan suspected that she had heard it wrongly, and asked in shock: "Go to jail!?"

"Well, why I was in prison is a state secret, so I can't tell you."

Shen Linglan nodded, and did not press the issue further. Instead, she asked a different question, "What is your teacher's name?"

"Song Hui."

After writing down the name, she sent it to Huang Linfeng and asked him to investigate the reason why Song Hui was imprisoned.

Shen Linglan still had a question in her mind, "Since the research group was cancelled, why were you not affected by such a serious matter and were able to go abroad?"

Liang Youjun said, "It was not caused by the research group, but by a friend of my teacher..."

At this point, Shen Linglan noticed that something in Liang Youjun's eyes became complicated.

He said, "He is a madman... I admire his talent but I am also afraid of his madness."

Liang Youjun shook his head, as if trying to clear his mind. "Anyway, I went abroad to avoid the spotlight on the one hand, and to continue my research on humans on the other hand."

Shen Linglan was more interested in the "madman". She asked, "Has your teacher's friend also been arrested?"

"No. He, escaped." Liang Youjun's voice was low, making it difficult to understand his emotions.

"So..."

The two chatted for more than ten minutes, and Liang Youjun realized that he had almost finished talking, but Shen Linglan had said nothing.

"What about you? Miss Shen, why did you set up your laboratory?"

Shen Linglan took out a wet tissue from the box on the table and wiped her fingers that were dirty from drinking coffee. Then she smiled at Liang Youjun and said, "Me? I'm a businessman. I think biopharmaceuticals are the trend right now."

"Ah?" Liang Youjun was slightly stunned, "What about the doomsday theory?"

"I'm not interested anymore." Shen Linglan stood up and said, "I used to be a loyal fan of The Walking Dead."

After saying that, Shen Linglan left the coffee shop, leaving behind a dazed Liang Youjun and a bag of cake.

Huang Linfeng worked very quickly and sent a message to Shen Linglan that evening, saying that he had found out the truth.

"Song Hui, male, 46 years old, was imprisoned last year on charges of poisoning."

"Poisoning!?" Shen Linglan frowned. She didn't expect that a professor from the medical school would actually poison someone.

"He is not the mastermind, but he is close to the mastermind. The time of the crime shows that it was last September. At that time, more than half of the students in the three universities on the south side of the university city had varying degrees of diarrhea, vomiting and other symptoms. After the police investigated, in order to avoid panic, they only said that it was caused by a malfunction in the city's water purification system. But in fact, it was Song Hui and his friends who accidentally leaked the drugs in the laboratory and contaminated the water pipeline on the south side of the university city."

Last September...

Shen Linglan recalled that it seemed to be true. She was still an intern at the time, but the incident had such a huge impact that it not only made the local news, but also topped the Weibo hot search list for a day.

It turned out that it was not a malfunction of the water purification system, but poisoning... No wonder the non-self-determination bureau kept holding on to the sewer, it turned out that there was a reason.
