“Hi, Miss Huo.” Chen Ming nodded and said softly, “I did not tell anyone about yesterday.”
Huo Yao’s cheeks twitched slightly. Moments later, she said, “…It’s okay.”
Chen Ming scratched his head. “Oh yes. We have already found out who was out to get your second older brother.”
He briefly explained that Li Zhensheng was already apprehended by the authorities.
Huo Yao was completely unsurprised. She simply acknowledged him softly.
Chen Ming glanced at Huo Yao and noticed the calmness on her face. It seemed as though she had known about this ages ago. He could not help feeling puzzled inside.
Huo Yao disregarded the look in Chen Ming’s eyes. She suddenly recalled a matter and asked. “Does this mean my brother can expect work injury compensation now that they have been nabbed?”
Chen Ming could not believe his ears.
Huo Yao looked at Chen Ming solemnly as she told him to take care of the compensation. Then, she went back into the hospital ward.
Huo Tingrui had yet to fall asleep. Although his ears were not the sharpest, he could clearly hear them talking about compensation. The moment Huo Yao entered the room, he glared at her.
Huo Yao raised her brow and sat back in the chair. “Since you come with high compensation, this means you are a really good lawyer.”
Huo Tingrui went quiet. He felt she was glad that he was worth some money.
Huo Tingrui glanced at his little sister once more indignantly. She should really stop denying she was squeezing every dime she could from the incident!
Huo Yao cleared her throat.
She took out her phone, tapped on WeChat, and sent out a text message: [Remember the analysis solution by the National Academy of Medicine you were talking about? Can I have a vial?]
Lei Xiao had just arrived at the research institute. The moment he heard the customized ringtone, he happily took out his phone.
After looking at the text message, he scratched his head quizzically and replied in bewilderment: [Didn’t you say things that go against nature will come to no good end?]
Lei Xiao could keenly remember telling her about the analysis solution. When he had told her about it, she unexpectedly exploded and gave him the scare of his life. For the last two days, he was unable to eat or sleep well. He was so afraid that Huo Yao would ignore him from now on.
Huo Yao typed back: [So, can you get it or not?]
Lei Xiao swiped his security card and entered the office.
After sitting down at his desk, he contemplated and replied: [I will have to find out. The analysis solution is still in its experimental stages, so I am sure they will be keeping a close eye on it.]
His department was in charge of viral research. Although he often partnered with the National Academy of Medicine to do research, it was genuinely difficult to obtain the final product of their work.
The final product was only accessible internally by members of the research team.
Since Huo Yao asked for help, he had to get his hands on a vial.
After ending the conversation with Huo Yao, Lei Xiao contemplated briefly. He opened his drawer to retrieve a report and went over to the section chief’s office.
Lei Xiao asked casually after he was done talking shop. “Oh yes. The National Academy of Medicine just created a new analysis solution. Why don’t we request for some sample?”
The section chief’s hands paused as he looked at Lei Xiao. “You are certainly well informed.”
Lei Xiao laughed. “Their research is always higher profile, so it is hard for me to miss it.”
“The Research Institute has no use for the analysis solution. Since the National Academy of Medicine did not produce a lot to begin with, you can forget about it. I suggest you focus on your work instead,” said the section chief mildly.
Lei Xiao did not keep harping on the subject. He stood up from the chair. “Got it. In that case, I am going back to work.”
“Uh huh,” acknowledged the section chief.
Just as Lei Xiao was about to open the door and leave, the section chief added.. “Oh yes. Have you been researching radiation?”
