Chapter 768: The Last Step Of The Experiment
Yun Ling recalled something all of a sudden and asked Gu Mang, [If Lu Chengzhou and Ye Junci were related in that way, why did he send people from Red Flame to Jijing Island? He could have just used Ye Junci’s men.]
The Ye family was very influential on Jijing Island.
Gu Mang turned to Lu Chengzhou.
The window by the driver’s seat was fully down. Lu Chengzhou was resting his arm on it casually and holding the steering wheel with one hand as he stared straight ahead.
“Do I look good?” Lu Chengzhou suddenly said with a smile, not looking at her. “Can’t take your eyes off me?”
Gu Mang raised her eyebrows a little and did not reply. Lu Chengzhou answered his own question.
“Why are you asking the obvious? You are the best looking person I have ever met,” he responded in a fake flirtatious and affectionate tone.
Gu Mang remained silent.
Fine.
I don’t feel like giving him attention. Gu Mang looked down and replied to Yun Ling’s message.
Since Lu Chengzhou did not hear her response, he slanted his eyes to look at her. “Why aren’t you speaking? Are you… tired of looking at me?”
“Yeah.” Gu Mang tapped on her phone screen.
The smile on Lu Chengzhou’s lips stiffened. “…Yeah?”
He pulled over and turned to look at her firmly.
…
The next morning.
Gu Mang was looking at some books in the library when her phone suddenly vibrated. Yu Zhongjing was calling her.
She got up and walked out of the reading room. Gu Mang picked up the call at the library’s front balcony.
The moment Gu Mang picked up the call, she heard Yu Zhongjing’s voice on the other end. “Master!!! We have deduced the chemical molecular structure of the last substance!!!” ”
He sounded really excited.
When Gu Mang heard this news, she was stunned. After a second, she said, “Send me a photo of the structure.”
Yu Zhongjing answered, “Yes, right away.”
The experiment has finally reached its last stage! Initially, they thought that there were three components in the herb but Gu Mang discovered the fourth. The other three were very unstable. Even if they were extracted from the herb, there was no way to store them. They had suspected that the last substance was a stabilizer so they had been researching it.
Yu Zhongjing did not dare to recall the amount of effort and money this project had cost them.
Fortunately, they had some results.
They wonder what kind of properties the last substance would have. But the important thing was that they had made some progress.
After hanging up, Gu Mang received the photo from Yu Zhongjing. It was a very complicated chemical structure that she had never seen before. They had been forced to deduce the structure based on chemical reactions and properties.
They could not tell if it was man-made or a natural substance. Gu Mang had memorized many structures in the past, including the new complex chemicals that had been synthesized in the past two years.
The one in the photo was very unfamiliar. The complex had many unstable functional groups. It was a pretty strange substance.
After thinking about it, Gu Mang sent a message to Yu Zhongjing. [I’m going to the research institute in the afternoon.]
Yu Zhongjing said, [Okay, Yu Mufeng will come over this afternoon, I’ll ask him to wait for you.]
[Okay,] she replied.
…
The 4pm class.
Yu Mufeng waited for Gu Mang next to the classroom block. The bell rang and after a while, all the students swarmed out. It was surprisingly packed.
Gu Mang’s aura was particularly eye-catching.
Yu Mufeng walked to her in a few steps. “Little Grandmaster.”
When the students who passed by saw the School Hunk and the School Beauty together, they were so excited that they took out their phones to snap photos.
Gu Mang and Yu Mufeng ignored them and walked ahead calmly.
There was a major breakthrough in the experiment. Yu Mufeng was also excited. “Little Grandmaster, now that the last molecular structure has been determined, we will surely be able to study that medicine this time, right?”
Gu Mang answered mildly, “Let’s go over and have a look first.”
Although Yu Mufeng was very happy, he could not let his guard down. People who had never studied drugs would not be able to imagine how strange they could be.
He nodded. “Alright.”
Yu Mufeng’s car was in the parking lot provided for students by the school. Gu Mang got in the passenger seat. Yu Mufeng started the car and drove away from the school, zooming past the electric gate.
Just then, Gu Mang’s phone suddenly rang. She took it out from her pocket and looked at it.
It was a call from Yang Tianming.
“Gu Mang, are you still coming to the lab in the afternoon?” Yang Tianming had just gone to the Medical Informatics lab and Gu Mang was not there.
