After successfully escaping, she took leave from school and didn't go back. She left all the investigations and consultations to the principal, while she went to the research lab with Li Yao. Right now, the most pressing issue is still the antidote.
Lin Weiwei arrived at Li Yao's office, which was filled with books and contained only a small sofa of less than ten square meters. A round table by the window caught her attention, with a portrait on it.
It was a childhood photo of Xiao Se and him. Next to them stood a kind-looking woman, pale-faced but with features resembling Xiao Se's. She wore the same clothes as him and looked to be around fifty years old. There was also a thick diary; flipping through it, it was clear it was written by Xiao Se. Why was it here?
October 1, 1967
My grandfather passed away, leaving me the mansion behind Mangxing University as his heir. It holds so many childhood memories for our family, and I vowed to protect it. My mother, however, said that since Grandpa was gone, they had too many houses and should sell this old one. I absolutely refused to sell it and cried for a long, long time…
The diary ended there, which was really his style—lazy enough to stop updating and end it hastily. Just as she was about to close it, a falling leaf caught her attention.
January 3, 1977
I started writing a diary when I was three years old. Now, at 21, which is my birthday, I'm starting to write in my diary again because it's the second year since my mother passed away, and today is the anniversary of her death. I still can't believe it. When I found my mother's jewelry box, a colorful stone caught my eye. I'm wondering if it's poisonous. My grandfather and mother didn't die of illness, but from poisoning.
There was this stone in my grandfather's glasses case, and there was also this stone in my mother's jewelry box. When I met Lin Weiwei, I became afraid of this thing. Should I tell her?
turn out to be……
At the time, he stole the colored stone without thinking, because he thought it was terrifying. That means that the earliest discovery of helium was on Earth.
His brows furrowed, and he took out the key to Xiao Se's old villa from his pocket, giving her such a valuable item. Xiao Se... his expression darkened.
"You saw it?" Li Yao placed a cup of coffee in front of her and handed her a piece of bread, but she had no appetite at the moment.
“I am Grandpa Xiao Se’s apprentice. It was because of him that I became interested in hematite. When the old man found this thing when the meteorite fell, he secretly did research on it without reporting it. I discovered…”
Li Yao looked at Lin Weiwei for a while, then paused and took out a medical report and a death certificate from the bookshelf. The medical report showed that helium reacted with oxygen and released a large amount of toxic gas. The death certificate stated that Xiao Se's mother died of poisoning. In order not to affect his studies, he was the only one in the family who did not know.
"Prolonged contact with this substance can cause infection, and I discovered that Xiao Se currently has this substance in his body. The antidote can accelerate the growth and reproduction of the hematite in his body, and he could die at any time."
This news was like a bolt from the blue. Why?! The people of Mercury often come into contact with this thing without any problems, but humans get poisoned upon contact. Oh, and Mercury has no oxygen.
"Then let's kill Xiao first, and then remove the substance from his body. I think my blood can be supplied to him then." She has type O blood, which is suitable for any blood type.
This fool, knowing it contained toxic substances, still dared to steal it.
After hearing her words, Li Yao's eyes lit up as if he had seen something new, and he became curious, looking Lin Weiwei up and down.
Have you seen enough?
"No, the power of love is truly amazing. You were already with Xiao Xiao before you even accepted my advances."
Things are getting more and more interesting. This Lin Weiwei is really something else. With a simple wink and a raised chin, she could charm countless girls, yet her expression remained unmoved. "Weiwei, can you tell me your story?"
"No comment!"
She got up, picked up the diary, and put it in her bag. If Xin really was harmful to Earthlings, then wouldn't Earth be in danger if Xiao brought so much of this thing?
"I need to see the president. Can you let me arrange a meeting with him?"
It seemed she had become wary. Li Yao put away the report on the table. "Lin Weiwei, you're both still university students. Go back and study hard. We researchers value solid evidence. If something is certain but there's no way to verify it, the president isn't someone you can just see whenever you want."
You really know how to whet her appetite, piquing her interest while simultaneously detaching herself from it. She clenched her fist, shoved it into her pocket, grunted, grabbed her backpack, and left the research lab.
Since you won't help with introductions, I'll rely on myself.
She hailed a taxi and looked out the window at the scenery. The setting sun reflected on the lake, creating a shimmering, colorful scene. The air in the mountains was naturally much fresher, and a gentle breeze blew through her hair, giving her a slightly cool feeling.
At this moment, while driving on the bridge highway, the car gradually slowed down because there was a traffic jam ahead, as if a car accident had occurred.
"Look! Angels are flying in the sky!"
The drivers all got out of their cars and started taking pictures with their phones. Lin Weiwei immediately got out of her car and looked in the direction they were filming. Sure enough! It really was him.
Xiao Se was carrying a box and wearing a faceless mask. There was someone around his neck from behind. That person was Han Han. The two of them flew in the sky towards the riverbank.
Damn it...
"Call an ambulance immediately! Student council member Xiao has been in a car accident up ahead!"
In the crowd, she saw the Xiao family's butler, his hands covered in blood, his face slashed by broken glass. He struggled to climb out of the driver's seat, calling for help everywhere. But amidst the car accident, people were more focused on the angels dancing in the sky.
Upon seeing this, Lin Weiwei immediately called an ambulance and rushed to the accident scene. The ground was littered with shards of glass; both front and rear windows were shattered, thick smoke billowed from the trunk, the front of the car was severely damaged, and gasoline was dripping out, posing a constant threat of explosion. The back seat, damaged by the violent impact, was deformed and impossible to open; Xiao Aotian lay inside, his face covered in blood.
She forcefully opened the car door, trying to wake the person sleeping inside, but there was no response. So, she grabbed their arms and forcibly dragged them up, carrying them on her back, and placed them at a wide intersection before turning back to rescue the housekeeper. Both her legs were broken, and she collapsed to the ground, trembling with fear, as if she had just returned from the brink of death.
Xiao Se... come back soon!
She was screaming in her heart, desperately trying to resuscitate her father, whose heartbeat grew weaker and weaker. But she didn't give up, continuing with four more resuscitation attempts before she saw the man on the ground slowly open his eyes, then close them again after seeing Lin Weiwei. The ambulance had arrived by then.
