When she woke up, she had no idea how much time had passed. It was dark.
She was still not very conscious. In a daze, she asked Long Xian, “What did you inject me with?”
“Don’t be in haste.” Long Xian brought her a question. “Read this first.”
Tong Qin thought for a moment, and her head pounded. She murmured very softly, “I can’t do it.”
Long Xian sighed. “I failed for the first time.”
Tong Qin sat up slowly. “What the hell is it?”
Long Xian watched her closely. “As I said, all you have to do is bring that girl to me and make her my test subject. She’s very alert. I need to refine a drug that’s colorless and odorless so that she’ll be unaware of it. At the same time, I can’t damage her in the slightest, or she won’t be my most perfect test subject.”
Tong Qin’s head still hurt. Hearing Long Xian speak with such emphasis, she hammered her head. “So, my body doesn’t matter?”
Long Xian looked at her with amusement. “It was decided from the start, wasn’t it?”
Tong Qin was speechless.
It was indeed her decision from the beginning. She thought about how she was alone in this world and had been an orphan since she was young, which was why she let Tong Ang use her.
When she was down and out, Long Xian was the one who helped her. Although she already knew that it was impossible for him to be sincere, she still felt indignant.
They were both girls, but why was Sheng Yang treated so well by Long Xian even though they were both subjects of his experiments?
Tong Qin admitted that her mind was a little twisted now.
She was so lacking in love. She just wanted to receive a little of it.
“This is for you.” Tong Qin’s temples still hurt. She suddenly heard Long Xian’s voice. She looked up and saw that Long Xian had handed her a box.
She opened it to reveal a crystal bracelet. Tong Qin looked at him in surprise.
“This was given to me by someone else. I have no use for it in my laboratory. You came a few times and stared at it each time. You’d stare at it for no less than 10 seconds. I guess you like it.” When Tong Qin didn’t take it, Long Xian was about to take it back when Tong Qin snatched it away again.
Long Xian placed his hands behind his back and looked at her. “As long as you do your job well, I won’t mistreat my experiment subjects. I can help you get whatever you want.”
The Tong family was already an arrow at the end of its flight. A mere Tong family was not worthy of his attention.
The next day, Sheng Yang went to discuss something with Lan Ran.
This time, she didn’t go to the more secluded places. Lan Ran directly invited her to his house.
Lan Ran’s home was very different from what Sheng Yang had imagined. When she talked to Lan Ran before, although their views were different, their thoughts were very similar.
Sheng Yang assumed his house would have a lot of books, experimental equipment, labs, and whatever.
Hence, when they arrived at Lan Ran’s house, Sheng Yang slowly said, “Your house is bare.”
Lan Ran was speechless for a moment, then pointed at the wall. “You’re belittling my genuine Van Gogh painting, The Starry Night?”
Sheng Yang didn’t look at the painting. She was still shaking her head. “You’re too poor.”
Lan Ran whispered to her, “I have a base with hundreds of bookshelves and research labs. They’re all underground.”
Sheng Yang’s eyes sparkled. “Why don’t we talk there?”
“…”
This time, the two of them talked about Sheng Yang’s company being robbed of its business. Moreover, Sheng Yang mentioned that she had recently found a good expert to help her. However, from her words, it seemed that the expert was just alright.
Lan Ran was very interested when he heard this. He probed, saying, “It seems to be someone with a say.”
