Chapter 682: Another Big Move
Director Qian was overjoyed to hear that. He had admired the Miracle Doctor for a long time and had long wanted to meet him in person.
Lu Chengzhou looked up and his tone was rather cold. “I want daily progress reports from you.”
Director Qian swallowed his words and lowered his head. “Yes.”
…
Lu Chengzhou, Lu Yi and Lu San left the research institute.
He was on the phone. “That’s all. Prepare everyone well.”
Lu Yī and Lu San looked at Lu Chengzhou. The look in their eyes made them seem as if they had something to say. When they walked to the front of the car, Lu San opened the car door.
Lu Chengzhou hung up and got into the car. “Back to No. 14.”
Lu Yī sat in the driver’s seat. “Yes.”
Lu San sat in the passenger seat and made eye contact with Lu Yī. Without words, the two came to an understanding.
Currently, experts from Red Scorpion, Red Flame, and the top ten provinces were all working on a project at the Blood Institute. There were hundreds of researchers.
The last time their Master made such a big move was when Young Master Gu called and said that Ms. Gu had gone missing.
This time…
Lu Chengzhou unbuttoned his shirt and said with a deep voice, “Conceal the news. Get Red Scorpion to send some people over. Keep it confidential.”
“Yes,” the two of them answered respectfully.
Lu Yī started the engine and turned the steering wheel around to reverse the car. Lu San called Lu Wu to arrange follow-up measures at the Blood Institute.
…
Meanwhile…
Other than eating and sleeping, Gu Mang had been at the research lab working for several days.
At 10pm, the purification process ended. Dozens of people came and went from the laboratory.
After Gu Mang had told someone about the experimental findings, the two of them discussed the results. Yu Zhongjing walked over with some data.
When they finished the discussion, Yu Zhongjing handed over the document. “Master, take a look. These three substances are really unstable, and up to now, we have only extracted one of them. The other two are still being screened for the selection process.”
The Chinese Medicine team had spent four months selecting one potential treatment among over a hundred. They had done 216 experiments before successfully extracting the compounds they wanted.
Gu Mang flipped through the experiment report and did not say a word.
“Oh, right.” Yu Zhongjing thought of something and added, “You said that there were four substances. That means we have not found out what the other one is.”
Over the past few days, they had done so many experiments and yet they had not discovered the other substance.
Yu Mufeng stood off to the side and watched.
After looking at the document, Gu Mang returned it to him. “There’s not much of a problem. Let’s just figure out the chemical structure of the last substance.”
“Alright.” Yu Zhongjing took the document and his hand hung low.
Gu Mang took off her plastic gloves and threw them into the wastebasket. “Select the other two substances first.”
“Alright.” Yu Zhongjing turned around and walked towards the experiment table.
Yu Mufeng looked at Gu Mang. “Little Grandmaster, are you returning tomorrow?”
Gu Mang nodded and took out her phone. There were a lot of unread messages.
She selected some to reply to and opened up the chat room with Lu Chengzhou. The most recent message had been sent ten minutes ago.
[Is it tiring? When you return, I’ll take you out to eat nice food.]
Gu Mang did not even notice the corner of her lips curling up. He coaxed her as if she were a three year old.
Yu Mufeng was about to explain that he would return with her, but he was stunned when he saw the smile on Gu Mang’s face. After realizing whose messages she was looking at, he felt a little full for some reason.
Gu Mang tapped on the screen twice and started a voice call. Then, she turned and walked out of the laboratory.
Lu Chengzhou picked up very quickly. “Are you free now?”
Gu Mang brushed her hand through her hair. “Ah.”
On the other end, Lu Chengzhou was leaning on the bed. He put the laptop on his lap aside and asked, “Have you eaten?”
Gu Mang sounded rather exhausted. “I’ll have some warm milk later.”
Lu Chengzhou’s eyes were gentle. He answered softly, “Sure, what time do you want me to pick you up tomorrow?”
When Gu Mang heard his voice, she felt impulsive for some reason.
She asked, “What about now?”
When Lu Chengzhou heard that, he was stunned. When he finally responded, he sat up straight.
