Fang Lei went to Lu Lingxi to investigate the issue of communication between humans and animals. He was very busy these days because he was assigned by his superiors to investigate these issues.
At the beginning of the year, Lu Lingxi reminded Fang Lei that there would be more and more people who could communicate with animals in the future. Fang Lei kept this in mind, but he didn't expect to encounter it so soon. Just a few days ago, the police station under Fang Lei's jurisdiction reported a case. The case was an ordinary case. Several children were the kings of the school and often bullied another child in the same class. The bullied child could no longer bear it, and after being bullied again, he found helpers to retaliate against the children who bullied him.
If you look at the case from this perspective, it is not unusual. What is unusual is that the bullied child found a dog as his helper. The man and the dog worked together to teach several school bullies a lesson. As a result, the parents of the students who were taught a lesson called the police. The police investigated and soon found something wrong. If it was just this one case, it would not be a big deal. However, the police station received several similar cases one after another. These things soon attracted the attention of the higher-ups, and the communication between humans and animals also turned from the dark to the open.
Fang Lei was not in a position to say much on the phone, and only vaguely reminded Lu Lingxi not to take Dahei with him. It was still uncertain how the higher-ups would handle these matters, and for now, they had only instructed those who knew about it to keep it confidential.
"Secret?"
Fang Lei hummed, "The higher-ups don't seem to believe it. They're probably going to send experts to investigate further. They probably don't want to spread the news before the truth is revealed, fearing that it will be difficult to control the impact."
After talking about this, Fang Lei asked a few more questions about Yan Yue's recent situation and hung up the phone. He worked all night last night and just returned to the dormitory. His mobile phone was confiscated by his superiors like his colleagues, and they were only given back today during the holiday. Fang Lei knew that he violated the confidentiality rules by calling Lu Lingxi, but Lu Lingxi trusted him before and told him about the animals. He also hoped to remind Lu Lingxi if he had the chance.
Fang Lei was just about to catch up on his sleep when Little Gray, whom he hadn't seen for a few days, rushed over aggressively, jumped lightly onto Fang Lei's face, and meowed angrily.
Fang Lei was very sleepy. He closed his eyes, grabbed Xiao Hui's neck, stuffed it into the quilt, hugged it in his arms, and coaxed it, "Xiao Hui, don't make trouble. I know you are tired of eating cat canned food these days. Let me take a nap and then I will make you some fish... Shit..."
When Fang Lei mentioned the dried fish, he sat up with a start, grabbed Xiao Hui's neck and asked strangely, "Xiao Hui, what did you call me just now?"
Xiao Hui waved his claws angrily, scratched Fang Lei rudely, and meowed.
Fang Lei's expression became more and more strange. He could hear clearly that Xiao Hui seemed to be angry. Angry that he had disappeared for a while, and angry that he had told his colleagues to only feed it canned cat food. Fang Lei thought of the content of his phone call to Lu Lingxi, and felt a little amused. Unexpectedly, when he got home, he also understood Xiao Hui's cry. He was one of those people who had to keep it secret. "Okay, you want to eat dried fish, right? I'll get it for you now." Fang Lei said as he put Xiao Hui down, ready to endure his sleepiness and serve the cat first. Who would have thought that as soon as Xiao Hui left his confinement, he jumped up and gave him a paw nimbly, then squatted in front of him, licked his paw arrogantly, and meowed twice.
Fang Lei: “…”
He now felt that understanding Xiao Hui's cries was not a very pleasant thing, unless he could tolerate Xiao Hui's "stupid mortal" tone.
After getting dried fish for Xiao Hui, Fang Lei called Lu Lingxi again. This time the content was simple and clear. He could finally communicate with Xiao Hui, but was it too late for him to change a cat?
Lu Lingxi: “…”
After hanging up the phone again, Lu Lingxi turned around and saw Yan Yue. Perhaps because his expression was too strange, Yan Yue walked over and asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"
Lu Lingxi shook his head and repeated Fang Lei's accusations against Xiao Hui. Yan Yue couldn't help but sneer. Seeing Xiaoxi's bad expression, he thought something was wrong, but it turned out to be about Xiao Hui. "Next time we meet Fang Lei, bring him more Band-Aids." Yan Yue chuckled.
Lu Lingxi imagined Fang Lei's expression when he received the Band-Aid, and nodded while holding back his laughter.
"By the way, Brother Fang said that there have been several cases recently where people can communicate with animals, and the higher-ups have asked that these be kept confidential."
Yan Yue raised his eyebrows slightly, "He hasn't contacted me these days. Is he investigating these things?"
Lu Lingxi hummed, and then asked worriedly: "This kind of confidentiality is only temporary, it won't be kept secret forever, right?"
Yan Yue smiled, patted Lu Lingxi's head, and comforted him: "Don't worry, this kind of thing can't be kept secret."
As the environment of Fengcheng changes, people and animals can communicate with each other more and more, and it is impossible to keep it completely secret. Yan Yue believes that there are already reporters with a keen sense of smell who have been eyeing this news. It depends on how strong the blockade is. By the time the blockade is broken, the number of evolvers in Fengcheng will have reached a certain scale. By then, even if Lu Lingxi is found to be abnormal, he will not be too conspicuous among this group of evolvers.
After Yan Yue said this, Lu Lingxi understood and no longer took the matter to heart.
When the expert group mentioned by Fang Lei secretly entered Fengcheng, the bamboo in the laboratory could be transplanted to the mountain. On the day of transplantation, Lu Lingxi and Zheng Xinhe both got up early. The temperature was too high recently, and it was not suitable for transplantation during the day. They could only transplant the bamboo in the morning when it was still a little cool.
Zheng Xinhe took his students and a dozen villagers hired by Lu Lingxi to the mountain. They dug the pits yesterday, and today they just had to plant the plants. After a morning of work, Zheng Xinhe looked at the tender shoots all over the mountain and said to Lu Lingxi with some pride: "In a few months, this will become two bamboo mountains. When the hardness of the bamboo reaches the requirement, our production line can start."
Lu Lingxi followed Zheng Xinhe's gaze and saw the green mountains in the breeze. Imagining that in a few months this place would be a sea of rolling bamboo waves, green all year round, Lu Lingxi felt that all the hard work he had done before had disappeared.
After the bamboos were planted, Zheng Xinhe returned to Zhongjing within two days. Before leaving, he took a small piece of the finished bamboo shoot with him, saying that there was a seminar in Zhongjing and he wanted to promote it. Even Yan Yue admired his desperate spirit and told Lu Lingxi privately that although Zheng Xinhe was sometimes stubborn and annoying, he was a really good person.
Just when Zhu Gang's production preparations were on track, Su Lang and Huo Weiping also made a breakthrough in their clinical trials of wintergrass.
Early that morning, Yan Yue received a call from Su Lang, asking him if he had time to bring Xiaoxi to their agency.
Yan Yue quickly guessed something, "Is the clinical trial effective?"
Su Lang laughed on the other end of the phone, saying cheerfully, "Boss Yan invested so much money, I would be embarrassed to contact you if there is no effect, right?"
Yan Yue laughed and asked, "When do you want to go to the bathroom?"
"Any time is fine. Xiaobao has always wanted to see Brother Xiaoxi."
At the beginning of the year, Yan Yue helped Su Lang obtain the review and approval for the clinical research of the new drug. Su Lang and Huo Weiping officially began to recruit volunteers for clinical trials. At that time, Pan Xiaobao's father Pan Liang chose to let Pan Xiaobao join the clinical trial after a difficult decision. At first, he participated in the trial while waiting for the bone marrow bank to have suitable bone marrow for transplantation. However, as the trial progressed, the leukemia-causing proteins in Pan Xiaobao's body continued to degrade and die under the induction of oridonin, and his symptoms were significantly improved. Seeing Pan Xiaobao getting better day by day, Pan Liang felt relieved and has since focused all his energy on new drug trials.
During this period of time, Pan Xiaobao had suffered a lot. Perhaps it was the illness that made him mature prematurely. Pan Xiaobao was the youngest among the experimenters, but he was the most sensible. He only occasionally talked about missing his brother Xiaoxi.
Previously, it was the key to the experiment, and the institution strictly prohibited outsiders from entering and leaving. Now that the experiment has made progress, Su Lang wants Lu Lingxi to come and see. He couldn't explain the feeling in his heart, it seemed like an obsession. He knew that the two Lu Lingxi couldn't be the same person, but he couldn't help but project all his guilt for the dead boy onto the current Lu Lingxi. Including his experiment has made progress, the first thing he thought of was to let Lu Lingxi come and see.
After getting along with Su Lang, Yan Yue put away his phone and frowned slightly. Although Su Lang invited him to take a look, he mentioned Xiaoxi several times. Yan Yue always felt that Su Lang's attitude towards Lu Lingxi was a bit strange. He didn't doubt that Su Lang had guessed the secret of Lu Lingxi's rebirth, but he didn't like Su Lang's attitude of treating Lu Lingxi as a substitute. Although the two Lu Lingxi were essentially the same person.
Even though Yan Yue didn't like it, he couldn't stop Lu Lingxi from going. Especially after knowing that Mr. Zhao had joined Su Lang and his team in their research, Lu Lingxi wanted to go and take a look.
"Grandpa Zhao is very capable. The new drug trial will definitely succeed with him around." Lu Lingxi said seriously while sitting in the car.
Yan Yue hummed and added: "Now the new drug trial has actually been considered a success."
"Really? When will it be put into production?"
Yan Yue thought for a moment and said, "It depends on the country's time regulations for clinical trials. However, some special medicines will have a green application channel. I'll see what Su Lang and the others think then."
"Brother Su must be hoping to start production one day earlier. He has said before that he wants to invent a specific drug to treat leukemia, so that many people won't have to suffer." Lu Lingxi realized something after he finished speaking and looked at Yan Yue with some guilt.
Yan Yue held his hand calmly and said nonchalantly, "Su Lang seemed to have told me the same thing. Xiaoxi still remembers it clearly."
His tone was casual, and Lu Lingxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he didn't seem to have any doubts.
