After Shangguan Wu finished speaking, he heard Gu Yunzhen sigh softly from the phone: "Wife, so you lied to me and didn't lose anything!"
"Hmm?" Shangguan Wu blinked, her tone languid. "So what do you want me to lose?"
Gu Yunzhen on the other end of the phone felt her skin tighten instantly.
"If my wife loses even a single hair, it's my fault. How can there be any loss at all? As your husband, I'm the first to object!"
"..."
Master Meng was indeed eavesdropping, but he didn't expect that Gu Yunzhen, who seemed like such a cold man, would be talking so affectionately with his wife, as if he had become a completely different person, which made him frown.
He had expected to hear news about Qin Yiheng, but all he got was flirtatious banter. Meng Ye took off his headphones and threw them on the table in frustration.
Little did he know, his every move was already under Gong Wujue's surveillance.
He can't escape this time!
Gong Wujue gestured to Gu Yunzhen to continue, hoping to lower Meng Ye's guard. He needed to throw out some useful bait so that the fish would take the bait.
Gu Yunzhen understood and asked in a low voice, "Wife, what's Heng's condition now? Has he woken up? Will this affect his lifespan?"
At this moment, Shangguan Wu was standing at the entrance of the pharmacy. When she saw her older cousin who had just woken up, she wanted to say that he was awake, but after hearing this, her intuition told her that something was a little strange.
How could it shorten lifespan?
Is he talking nonsense?
Thinking that he was searching for Master Meng's whereabouts, Shangguan Wu felt that it was inconvenient for him to speak.
"Sigh." She left the pharmacy and sighed, "If only my master were still here, someone could discuss things with me and tell me if I did the right thing. This is the first time I've encountered such potent drugs; they wreak havoc in the body, destroying cells..."
Shangguan Wu spoke for ten minutes about relevant medical knowledge, then for five minutes about his master, before finally saying, "During the treatment, my older cousin woke up briefly, but quickly fainted again."
Gu Yunzhen's excited voice rang out: "Heng-ge is awake? That's a good sign!"
"It's hard to say," Shangguan Wu denied. "I need to study for another two or three days before I can completely clean the toxins out of Heng Ge's body."
"You can save Heng Ge in just two or three days? Honey, you're amazing!"
Gu Yunzhen praised his wife with a nonchalant expression, then suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahaha, that old man would never have dreamed that you would rescue Heng Ge so quickly! Wife, you are my pride, you're amazing!"
"Old man? Are you talking about Master Meng?"
Shangguan Wu blinked; she seemed to understand why he was talking nonsense.
"Honey, please don't tell anyone about my cousin's condition yet. I'll observe him for a couple more days. I've been researching that life-extending drug before; maybe it can solve the problem that has been troubling me for so long."
"..."
Gu Yunzhen's pupils contracted sharply. Did his wife know what she was saying?
She must have guessed his purpose, so she took the initiative to increase her stakes to restrain Master Meng?
Upon hearing the words "extend lifespan," Master Meng, who was listening in, immediately sat up straight.
"etc!"
Master Meng stopped his trusted aide from turning off the listening device.
Although the Gu residence is monitored every day, it is not kept on all the time, because it would be easy to be exposed.
The past few days he had only heard nonsense. He originally just wanted to hear about Qin Yiheng's situation, but now he was hearing words like "life-extending drugs".
At this moment, whether Qin Yiheng lived or died was no longer important to him!
Master Meng knew that Gu Yunzhen and the others had taken the rest of the materials, so he guessed that Shangguan Wu might have seen them, but he didn't expect her to have studied them in depth.
This saved him a lot of trouble!
She must have often run into difficulties and scratched her head while doing research alone, right?
If she were to conduct research with a group of people, she probably wouldn't be able to resist such a huge temptation!
After all, developing a life-extending drug is such a great invention; people all over the world will remember her name!
The more Meng Ye thought about it, the more excited he became, as if he could already see the scene of being adored by hundreds of countries. He held the headphones with both hands and listened carefully to Shangguan Wu's words.
Who knew that every time Shangguan Wu said something, Gu Yunzhen would chime in with two sentences, all of which were worthless nonsense. Why did he talk so much nonsense?
Master Meng was so angry he wanted to smash his headphones!
But he had no choice but to endure it just to hear Shangguan Wu talk about the life-extending medicine!
Gu Yunzhen said with a hint of melancholy, "Wife, I've realized that apart from having some money, I seem to be unworthy of you in every other way."
Shangguan Wu chuckled softly: "Actually, I have quite a bit of money too!"
Although not as wealthy as Gu Yunzhen, it's enough to support a family for ten lifetimes without spending all the money.
Gu Yunzhen said guiltily, "Now that you say that, I feel even more like a useless person."
Master Meng thought to himself: You really are a piece of trash!
These words left Gong Wujue and the others speechless.
If even the president of the prestigious W Group says he's a good-for-nothing, then what about the rest of them?
Let him stall for time, but don't let him spout nonsense!
"Honey, don't think like that. You're very handsome. Seeing your face every morning makes me happy!"
Shangguan Wu seemed to be comforting him, but then again, she didn't.
Gu Yunzhen's lips twitched twice, and she sighed, "So now I have to rely on my looks?"
He patted his face: "Honey, when are you going to give this face some skincare..."
Just then, Gong Wujue gave him an OK sign.
Has Master Meng's whereabouts been found?
Gu Yunzhen changed the subject and steered the conversation toward medicine, saying, "Or how about you let me live a little longer? When others are forty, I look like I'm twenty; when others are eighty, I look like I'm forty. What do you think?"
Shangguan Wu coordinated with him: "Well... the main problem is that we've lost some very crucial data, and since I'm the only one doing the research, progress is bound to be slow."
Gu Yunzhen asked casually, "Will I be able to see it in my lifetime?"
Shangguan Wu chuckled, then said seriously, "Actually, it won't take that long. My current research direction is correct. It should take about ten years. I believe I can develop it!"
Gu Yunzhen said confidently, "Wife, I believe you can succeed!"
Hearing this, Master Meng felt a surge of excitement in his heart.
He truly deserves the title of "Little Miracle Doctor"!
They actually claimed that a life-extending drug could be developed in about ten years. If the young miracle doctor had been there during the initial research, wouldn't it already be on the market by now?
ten years!
He can definitely wait!
Master Meng couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Hahahaha..."
Bang!
Bang bang bang!
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out outside, and Master Meng's laughter stopped abruptly, as if it had been paused.
"Master Meng, something terrible has happened! We're surrounded!"
His trusted aide rushed into the tent to report.
Suddenly, something popped into Meng Ye's head. He stared at the earphones in his hand and slammed them hard to the ground.
"Burn it down, then let's go!"
Master Meng refused to believe that these people wouldn't put out the fire first!
Unfortunately, as soon as he stepped out of the tent, he was met with more than a dozen gun barrels pointed at him.
Gong Wujue spat out the grass he was holding in his mouth and said sternly, "Put your hands up!"
