"How is it? Can it be done?"
The person examining the blood is Doctor Song's daughter-in-law. It was the ti when Doctor Song's son's life was hanging by a thread, and Doctor Song was busy rescuing soone else when Xiaofan stepped in at the right mont and saved Doctor Song's son.
So, hearing that the matter pertains to Xiaofan, Doctor Song's daughter-in-law tirelessly helps out every day, doing all she can, and is always ready when called.
Though this little deed may not repay the favor owed, it is at least an opportunity to repay it.
"The toxic active cells are still increasing. There's no sign of reduction or stopping...
"Is it still not working?"
Ye Aotian is the most anxious. Although such results were expected, they still leave him a bit disappointed.
He enters the ward and gazes at his prospective granddaughter-in-law.
"It's not working, right…" Shen Zuimo asked softly.
Ye Aotian sighed lightly, stepped forward again to feel Shen Zuimo's pulse; the pulse remains the sa, there's no improvent.
Ye Aotian is a seasoned traditional dicine doctor, more familiar with poisonous herbs than many others. If he were to research a poison specifically, the other party would be helpless to counter it with antidotes.
Forty-plus days seems like plenty, but it's possible that ti would unknowingly slip away during the process of preparing the antidote.
"Grandpa, call him back. I want to see him…" Shen Zuimo's voice had a pleading tone to it.
"I..."
"Excuse , is Mr. Ye Aotian here?"
Just then, a voice suddenly ca from outside the door.
"Hmm, co in." Ye Aotian stood up and said softly.
The ward's door was slowly pushed open, and three n in crisp suits walked in slowly.
Suits are rare within Yanhuang Soul's ranks, unless attending sothing important in full dress. Usually, from Principal Fan Lingtian down to ordinary mbers, even newcors, nobody wears suits.
aning, these people likely aren't from Yanhuang Soul.
"Who are you? What's your business with ?" Ye Aotian slowly asked.
"Hello, I'm Liu Xu, the Chief of the Planning Section of the National Security Bureau. We want to discuss sothing about your grandson, Ye Xiaofan..."
This Liu Xu looks just over fifty, with a typical square face. His back is reasonably straight, though his belly is sowhat uncontrollable.
"Oh, you're the one who placed Elder Fan under house arrest, Liu Xu, correct?" Ye Aotian asked with indignation.
"Oh, Mr. Ye, you jest. I'm just a humble chief; how dare I place Old Mr. Fan under house arrest? It was an order from above, and I'm rely following orders..." Chen Xu spoke to Ye Aotian in a rather genial manner.
"Then why are you looking for regarding Xiaofan?" Ye Aotian's expression was far from friendly.
"Oh, it's like this, what Ye Xiaofan is doing now I need not elaborate, surely you're more aware than I am. I've co today hoping you could think of a way to have him bring back HLY007..." Chen Xu said with a smile.
"If I had a way to call him back, do you think I'd have so many white hairs?" Ye Aotian pointed to his head and retorted.
"There's a way, but it's just a question of whether you're willing to cooperate, Mr. Ye." The man beside Chen Xu cut in.
"If you have a way, why ask to cooperate? Just go get him back yourselves." Ye Aotian said indifferently.
"No, no, no, he's your grandson, and his relationship with Miss Shen Zuimo is extraordinary. Now Miss Shen Zuimo is poisoned, and his purpose in Japan is to find an antidote. If you call and say you can cure Shen Zuimo's poison, then his stay in Japan would be pointless, and the issue would be instantly resolved." The man continued.
"Then, the girl's life, can be tossed away just like that?" Ye Aotian asked bluntly.
"This..."
The man imdiately exchanged looks with Chen Xu. The situation seed awkward...
Indeed, in their eyes, as long as HLY007 doesn't fall into Japanese hands, Shen Zuimo's life is entirely dispensable. Of course, if she survives, it's a cause for celebration, but even if she dies, she dies for Huaxia, they wouldn't lose anything...
'Ringing ringing...'
Just then, the phone at Shen Zuimo's bedside rang.
"Hello... Xiaofan..."
Shen Zuimo's first words caused everyone present to hold their breath.
"Zuimo, how's it? Has the result co out?"
With the urgency in the tone, Shen Zuimo's heart trembled slightly.
She looked up and glanced at Ye Aotian and the others.
This glance left Ye Aotian surprised; he saw in the girl's eyes a look of casting everything aside.
"Yes, it's out. The toxic active cells have been completely controlled, and if tried a few more tis, it should be able to kill those toxic active cells."
Shen Zuimo's answer was indeed within Ye Aotian's expectations. While Chen Xu and the others were slightly surprised, they couldn't help but smile joyfully.
"Really? That's great. Really great." On the phone, Xiaofan was also joyful.
"Yes, hurry back then. I can't wait to see you..."
"Alright, I..." Suddenly, Xiaofan paused, seemingly realizing sothing was amiss: "Grandpa is beside you, isn't he."
"Hmm? He... is." Shen Zuimo hesitated a mont but spoke truthfully.
"Give the phone to Grandpa; I have sothing to say to him..."
"He's busy right now; could you call back in about five minutes?" Shen Zuimo stalled a bit. Actually, she wanted these five minutes to persuade Ye Aotian to conceal the truth for her.
"No, no matter what he's busy with, have him pause. It's urgent..."
"Alright then..." Shen Zuimo reluctantly handed the phone to Ye Aotian, then looked at him with expectancy, hoping he would help her cover up the lie.
Chen Xu and the other two were even more eager for the phone to be in their hands now, ready to tell him that Shen Zuimo was no longer in danger, urging him to return imdiately...
"Hello..."
"Grandpa..."
"Hmm."
"Is Zuimo's poison truly controlled?"
"..."
Sure enough, the first question is about this...
Speak! If only you say it's controlled, Chen Xu's mission would be complete.
"No, it's completely out of control, and though I've tried my best, unless the next batch of dicine works miracles, I'm powerless. So, this girl's life is in your hands now."
Upon hearing this, everyone present changed their expressions. Is this a real grandfather? Knowing there's danger, a lie to lure him back would solve everything, but why... Ye Aotian, why say specifically like this?
