Tang Ganwen drank his half bowl of soup in one gulp and placed the bowl in front of Professor Chu. "If you really can't finish it, I'll help you drink it."
After saying that, he smacked his lips and said, "This soup is so delicious. No wonder you didn't want to let me drink it! You're eating it all by yourself!"
"If you keep talking nonsense, I won't cook for you tonight."
Tang Ganwen quickly shut up and ate his meal obediently, while Professor Chu just watched with a smile.
After dinner, Professor Chu suggested going to the Huai River, so the four of them went to the Huai River together.
Looking at the several thousand-meter-long section of the Huaihe River where the riverbed was exposed, Professor Chu couldn't believe that there would be any shipwreck remains in such a place, but the fact is that there are.
"Xiao Tang! What's going on outside? We haven't found the exit yet. Don't let anyone with ulterior motives find out anything! Have those R people been caught?"
Tang Ganwen shook his head. "There should be one or two more dens. I'm also worried that they will show up and make our work more difficult."
"Ling Ran, do you have any clues?"
Ling Ran also shook his head. "No, those people are hiding too deeply. They get married and have children here, living the lives of ordinary people. It's hard to find them."
"Then tell the team members to be alert. Absolutely no suspicious individuals are allowed in. No family members are allowed to visit, and of course this includes the Zhou, Ling, and Kong families."
Tang Ganwen scratched his head. "Two people from the Kong family have come. I detained them and confiscated their communicators. They also know Zhou Xiang's other identity. We really have no way of finding out where the Kong family has infiltrated."
Professor Chu's expression was also unhappy. "The conditions offered by the Kong family are too generous. The meeting unanimously agreed to their return. So, Zhou Xiang, it seems that your identity may not be hidden for much longer."
Zhou Xiang said nonchalantly, "Whatever! I didn't intend to keep it a secret for long. Now that the focus isn't on me, it's not bad for me to provide cover."
Professor Chu smiled and said, "Yes! It's so true and false that it confuses people."
On returning to his residence, Professor Chu ran into Kong Xianxian and stopped. "Ms. Kong, please warn Ms. Kong Youran. There's an old saying that goes, 'Misfortune comes from the mouth.' If you let her off this time, you won't have a chance next time."
Kong Xianxian wanted to ask Zhou Xiang for mercy, and even wanted to take advantage of Professor Chu's sympathy, but before she could even open her mouth, she was given a cold shoulder.
"Yes, I will warn her, I..."
Before she could continue, Professor Chu waved his hand and said, "Alright, I won't talk to you anymore. Let's wait until your family head arrives."
Four people walked past her, leaving her alone and disheveled in the wind.
Zhou Xiang turned around and made a face at her, which made her face even paler with anger.
The next day after breakfast, Zhou Xiang handed a paper bag to Tang Ganwen, "Captain, give this to Kong Xianxian and tell her it's what she wants."
Tang Ganwen took the paper bag and asked, "Poison?"
Zhou wanted to roll his eyes. The captain was definitely doing it on purpose.
Ling Ran scoffed at him, "Why don't you try it? Shennong even tasted hundreds of herbs! Don't just learn the basics of everything. Just give up other research and focus on making medicine. Kong Youran from the Kong family really looks down on you."
Actually, I look down on you too. Your powder can only be used in small amounts. Overdose can be fatal, and it's easy to overdose if you're not careful. And there's no antidote yet, not even half a bucket of water. Did you add other substances to make it more effective?"
Tang Ganwen said angrily, "Go away, stop interrupting! At least I can make it. Can you? Zhou Xiang, what on earth is this?"
"Antidote."
"Really? You're planning on giving me the antidote right now? Aren't you going to fight for a few rounds?"
"Captain, you want to watch the fun, right? The first round is over, I win. Could you please come over?"
"Okay, okay, I'm on my way." Tang Ganwen was afraid that if he said more, he would be rebuked by his sister-in-law.
Professor Chu smiled, "Yes! We should be more generous and teach them a lesson, but don't take their lives so easily."
"Teacher, don't worry. If they don't provoke me, I won't start trouble first. I'm not afraid of anything in the world if I'm right. I just like to fight back. It feels the best to fight back against the opponent's strongest point."
"Kid, I used to say you were too tough, but now I'm not afraid anymore. You have made such a great contribution, so it's better to be tough."
Kong Xianxian was stunned when she received the paper package from the captain, "What is this?"
"Zhou wanted to give it to me. He said you asked for it. Okay, the things have been delivered, and the words have been delivered. I should go and do my work."
Kong Xianxian took the paper bag and found Kong Youran. "Youran, Zhou Xiang had someone deliver this. Do you dare to try it?"
Kong Youran took the paper package and said, "Let's try. If it's true, I don't dare to try. With Zhou Xiang's bad temper, I'm sure there won't be another dose of the antidote."
Kong Haoran was a little worried, "We didn't see her take it out with our own eyes."
Kong Youran shook his head. "Brother, what if I saw her take it out with my own eyes? Even if I saw her prepare it with my own eyes, I wouldn't be 100% sure it's the antidote. Given the current situation, I have to believe it even if I don't want to. I don't dare to gamble."
Kong Xianxian nodded. "That's right. When you do things in the future, you should also think more about it like this. Okay, you'll know the truth after taking it."
Kong Youran opened the paper bag and swallowed the small amount of medicine powder without hesitation.
In just a few seconds, Kong Youran felt a warm current flowing down, "Brother, get out, this antidote is real, I'm not as good as Zhou Xiang."
After Kong Haoran left the room, Kong Youran quickly went behind the curtain to take care of herself. Kong Xianxian said to the curtain, "Youran, don't be too discouraged. In the family, you have the highest talent. From now on, concentrate on studying medicine and don't think about anything else.
Given Zhou Xiang's personality, she wouldn't drug you unless you provoked her. Since she can give you the antidote for the fake pregnancy drug, she wouldn't drug you or your brother. After all, you're both minors. If she did, she might give it back to you, but she'd have to have a chance. So, don't provoke her, and give her a reason to give it back to you."
Kong Youran parted the curtain and walked out. "Auntie, don't worry! For my brother and me, I won't give in easily. Before, I was admired by everyone and I thought I was the best in the world. From now on, I will focus on making medicine and stop causing trouble."
Kong Xianxian nodded with relief. After this incident, it was good that her nephew and niece could learn their lesson. "Zhou Xiang's words were harsh, so you have to be patient. I have also seen that she is the kind of person who will give in to soft words and not hard ones. When you and your brother went to ask for medicine, she actually softened her heart and didn't give it to you in person. She also wanted to teach you a lesson and let you know that some things cannot be obtained by begging on your knees.
If you can be patient and not argue with her, she will stop picking fights after a few times."
Kong Youran nodded. "Yes! When you said that Zhou Xiang had someone send the powder, I understood. She is at least more compassionate than my father."
