Chapter 95 The Same “Drug”
When Zhou Cheng heard him say this, his expression became a little helpless, and then he held Su Qingyan's butt and picked him up. Su Qingyan put his arms on both sides of Zhou Cheng's shoulders and wrapped his legs around his waist.
Lu Ze was in great pain, silently repeating to himself, "Don't look at anything inappropriate." When he saw them walk into the bathroom, he immediately left the ward.
"Why did your body start working at high speed as soon as you opened your eyes today? Don't you give it some time to buffer?"
Su Qingyan hung on Zhou Cheng and refused to get down no matter what.
"Not recently." Seeing that Su Qingyan was too clingy, Zhou Cheng put him on the sink.
Su Qingyan thought she would be sitting on a cold countertop, but Zhou Cheng had already laid out a bath towel. After sitting down, Su Qingyan still had her arms around Zhou Cheng's neck, her fingers dancing lightly on his back.
“If only I hadn’t been sick…”
Zhou Cheng glanced at Su Qingyan and understood his little thoughts. After letting him go, he squeezed toothpaste onto the toothbrush and handed it to him.
"Then get well soon."
"I'm sick, you brush it for me."
Su Qingyan stuffed the toothbrush back into Zhou Cheng's hand.
"You kid..."
Zhou Cheng took the toothbrush back helplessly.
When Su Qingyan heard Zhou Cheng calling him a child, he became playful again and called him brother and uncle. But when he wanted to call dad, Zhou Cheng quickly covered his mouth.
"how?"
"No wonder you can play with Lu Ze, you're so shameless."
After Su Qingyan enjoyed the one-stop service of brushing his teeth and washing his face, he was carried back to the bed. Zhou Cheng once again reminded him to rest in bed and then hurried off to the laboratory.
Zhou Cheng worked non-stop in the laboratory for several hours, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense. He confirmed the results under the microscope three times, then clenched his fists and began to think.
The specimens showed that the liver tissue of both individuals had been affected by the same drug. This wasn't entirely a bad result; at least the cause had been discovered. However, further research was fraught with obstacles, like a mountain of obstacles.
Zhou Cheng walked out of the laboratory with a heavy heart. If it was just an ordinary medicine, there wouldn't be such a big fuss.
Seeing that Zhou Cheng was finally willing to leave the laboratory, Gu Yi walked over and asked curiously.
"You don't have to be so hasty. Even if they're in a high-ranking position, you don't need to stay up all night for them. If you jump to conclusions too quickly, they'll think you're being perfunctory."
"Brother, do you have any drug samples?"
Zhou Cheng couldn't care about anything else now. He just wanted to find the target quickly so that he could give Su Qingyan the medicine.
"Of course not. Even if there were, they wouldn't be delivered to us. After all, we're an official laboratory backed by the Medical University."
Gu Yi took the tablet computer from Zhou Cheng's hand and flipped through the experimental data.
Although Gu Yi's personal life was notoriously problematic, it didn't affect his rising status in academia. The original head of the liver disease laboratory was recently promoted and was no longer able to manage the department, so Gu Yi was currently in charge of the department as a deputy and would soon be promoted to the full-time position.
"Your data...we had a research topic before, so we can refer to it."
When Zhou Cheng heard Gu Yi say this, he urged him to look for information on the computer.
"Lunch break! What do those young men have to do with you? You don't even want to sleep or eat?"
Gu Yicai would never sacrifice his rest time to do these researches.
"The young master has nothing to do with me, the other one——"
Zhou Cheng paused, swallowed what he wanted to say, and then severely blamed himself for being too concerned.
"The other is Director Li's connections. He even took the initiative to contact Professor Zhao. Isn't that obvious?"
"Hey, Zhou Cheng, that's great. Now you know how to figure out your leader's intentions. So, have you finally figured it out and want to climb up the ladder?"
Gu Yi didn't expect that he actually knew how to adapt. He always thought that Zhou Cheng was a robot in human skin.
"Hurry up, senior brother." Zhou Cheng began to urge Gu Yi again.
Zhou Cheng quickly obtained Professor Gu's unpublished first-hand information and continued to work tirelessly on his research. Gu Yi also joined in. After the two of them were on the same wavelength, their efficiency more than doubled.
"Zhou Cheng, don't go back to the clinic. Come work with me. You will be my deputy from now on." Gu Yi hasn't had such a comfortable job for a long time. He even thinks that it is not a problem to publish another T-category SCI article.
"I don't have such an idea at the moment." Zhou Cheng answered truthfully.
"Turn back into robot Zhou Cheng again?" Gu Yi said with a smile.
Zhou Cheng looked at his watch and found that it was not too late, so he made an excuse to go out and dialed Su Chonglin's number.
"Xiao Zhou, what's the matter?"
Su Chonglin signaled his special assistant to wait a moment, and the assistant and secretary tactfully withdrew.
"Mr. Su, I think I can only tell you about this."
Zhou Cheng reported to Su Chonglin concisely, concluding that the target direction has been preliminarily found, and it would be safer to obtain drug samples.
"You mean that cigarette is actually a drug?"
Su Chonglin drummed his fingers on the table, already tearing Wan Lin into pieces in his mind.
"It's most likely," Zhou Cheng pondered for a few seconds. "Director Su, the comparative experiment was conducted by me and my senior in the lab. He doesn't know who the tissue sample belonged to. I've already communicated with Director Li. The only person who might know about this is probably Professor Zhao Ting'an. What do you think next..."
Zhou Cheng knew that this matter was of great importance, and how to deal with it would have to be decided by Su Chonglin.
"Su Qingyan's situation is completely under your control. You will formulate a treatment plan, and I will handle the rest."
Hearing Su Chonglin's words, Zhou Cheng felt relieved for the time being. In this situation, he began to not trust anyone, and after much thought, he could only look to Su Chonglin for support.
After hanging up on Su Chonglin, Zhou Cheng video-called Su Qingyan. Seeing that he was in good spirits, a smile finally appeared on his face. Of course, that was except for Lu Ze's constant shouting of "Mom."
Zhou Cheng lost focus on his work after seeing Su Qingyan. His fingers gently stroked the small mole on Su Qingyan's cheek on the screen, and he didn't even notice that his expression had softened a lot.
"Zhou Cheng, what are you thinking about?" When Su Qingyan saw his expression, she knew that there was definitely nothing serious on his mind.
"I'm going to be busy. You can play with Lu Ze and go to bed early." Zhou Cheng said hurriedly and decisively hung up the video.
Lu Ze marveled at Zhou Cheng's self-control, then began to complain about Su Qingyan's lack of charm. Su Qingyan snorted and retorted, "There's nothing to say to a bachelor." Lu Ze was about to retort, but Su Qingyan threatened him with living expenses, so he shut up awkwardly.
