The CEO's Substitute Wife Is A Genius-Chapter 388: Shocking Experiment Results, It’s Not Sheep Placenta, It’s Human’s
Chapter 388: Chapter 388: Shocking Experiment Results, It’s Not Sheep Placenta, It’s Human’s
In the hall, Chen Anna sat beside Jiang Man and grabbed a cup of tea to drink.
"Manman, what do you think they are talking about?"
"I’m not sure," Jiang Man sipped her tea and speculated; could the nation be planning to deploy arms in Antarctica?
That shouldn’t be it.
The nation isn’t lacking in arms; why bother buying from abroad?
Even she couldn’t guess her fifth brother’s intent, which was the first time she was filled with curiosity.
Finally, the door to the tea room opened, and Wu Yingfan came out, making faces at Jiang Man.
Jiang Man raised an eyebrow. After many years of tacit understanding between them, Wu Yingfan just had to stick out his butt, and she would know what kind of "shit" he was up to.
"I’m going to the restroom," she said.
"Together, I’m heading to the restroom as well."
Seeing the two leave together, Chen Anna couldn’t help but chuckle: "One to the men’s room and one to the ladies’, and they’re still companions?"
Hu Xianyun didn’t speak but picked up the now-cold tea on the table and downed it in one gulp.
"Ah? Manman drank from that..." Chen Anna wanted to stop him, but it was already too late.
Hu Xianyun glanced at the empty cup: "It’s fine, I don’t mind."
His mind wasn’t on the tea but on the departing figures of the two.
Clearly, Mr. Wu wanted to discuss something with his sister. But what was it?
Was it possible that Manman also knew Dr. M?
"Oh, right," Chen Anna remembered her own pressing matter: "Do you know where I can find a professional laboratory? Can you get me into one?"
Since her fifth brother-in-law was a scientific researcher, he surely knew many in the scientific community.
Hu Xianyun wasn’t very interested in his sister-in-law’s affairs, but he was surprised when she asked for a laboratory.
"A laboratory can be borrowed, but I’d like to know what you need it for and for how long?"
"It’s not for me," Chen Anna waved her hand: "It’s for Manman."
After a pause, she continued: "We want to investigate whether that bottle of rejuvenating serum truly contains Dr. M’s formula."
"Didn’t you obtain the serum? Do you know its ingredients?"
"I bought the serum from Dalin Pharmaceuticals, and the ingredients are listed on the bottle, but they only listed the main formula. The rest, you don’t know, and neither do I," Hu Xianyun said truthfully.
Chen Anna pouted: "You, the organizer, don’t even know? If I could buy the rejuvenating serum from you, I would’ve just gotten it directly. Instead, you set up an auction, and I didn’t manage to secure it."
"What’s the purpose of using this banquet to lure someone out? Does Manman’s friend know the person you’re looking for?"
"Sister-in-law, don’t ask about things you shouldn’t know," Hu Xianyun said coldly.
This remark caught Chen Anna off guard, her smiling face freezing.
Outsiders all say the fifth son of the Hu family is aloof, not getting along well with his brothers at home.
In the past, she wondered, how bad could it really be? After all, they shared the same blood.
Today she finally understood that this man was indeed cold-hearted, speaking so impolitely even to his own sister-in-law.
"I’ll inquire about the laboratory for you now," Hu Xianyun said with furrowed brows, turning to make a call.
...
Jiang Man and Wu Yingfan didn’t head to the restroom; instead, they went to the end of the corridor.
"What’s up?" Jiang Man folded her arms and raised her brow, her gaze cool and distant.
"Your fifth brother is looking for you," Wu Yingfan paused, correcting his phrasing: "He’s looking for you, or rather Dr. M, it seems like there is something very important he needs your help with. I asked him what it was, but he wouldn’t say, mysteriously claiming it’s a national secret."
"He’s looking for me?" Jiang Man frowned, not sure what kind of research Hu Xianyun was really doing and thus, unable to guess why he was seeking her out.
"So, his request for help, will you oblige?" Wu Yingfan blinked.
"You, at that time you were mistaken for Dr. M, why didn’t you just agree? If you admitted you were Dr. M, you would have known his intentions on the spot."
"How could I dare to admit that? If he takes me to the laboratory to conduct an experiment, won’t I be exposed right away?"
"Forget it, just play it by ear and try to get more out of him later."
Hu Xianyun had returned this time to find Dr. M.
Jiang Man’s affection for this fifth brother was different from that for her other brothers.
Perhaps it was because the fifth brother had placed national justice above kinship, love, and all other emotions, which made her admire him.
...
When they returned to the private room, Chen Anna’s tea was almost finished.
She stood up excitedly, "Manman, Xianyun has already helped us find the laboratory. He said his college classmate is a doctor who specializes in clinical trials, and he has his own laboratory that he can lend to us."
"Okay," Jiang Man nodded.
...
The laboratory was about half an hour’s drive from the banquet hall.
When the group arrived at the hospital’s laboratory building, Hu Xianyun’s classmate was already waiting at the entrance.
Jiang Man entered the laboratory with the equipment, while the others waited outside.
The classmate and Hu Xianyun hadn’t seen each other for many years and naturally had a lot to catch up on.
They found a rest room and sat down, and the classmate simply poured a cup of boiled water for Hu Xianyun.
"How have you been these years?" the classmate asked.
Hu Xianyun took a sip from the cup and replied, "The same old."
"You, huh," the classmate shook his head.
Back in school, Hu Xianyun was known as a study maniac.
At the time, he was first in his class, and with his handsome looks, countless girls pursued him.
But he ignored them all, devoting himself entirely to his studies.
After graduation, he went straight to the Antarctic research department and had been out of touch ever since.
"You really are disconnected from the mortal world, so lofty and detached," the classmate said with a sigh. "If it weren’t for your third brother and sister-in-law’s wedding, you probably wouldn’t come back, would you?"
Hu Xianyun didn’t respond.
His return was to search for Dr. M and to see his grandfather; it had nothing to do with the wedding of his third brother and sister-in-law.
"By the way, who is the young girl who entered the laboratory?" the classmate changed the subject, curious.
Hu Xianyun’s eyes suddenly sharpened, and he glared at him, "I advise you not to have any ideas about her. She’s my seventh sister and she’s already married, with a husband."
"Your seventh sister?" The Hu family’s affairs had long become a well-known tale in the port city; everyone knew it.
"Your seventh sister doesn’t just look like a member of the Hu family, she’s quite beautiful. What a pity that she married so young," the classmate shook his head. "What does she do for work?"
Hu Xianyun paused, thought for a moment, and decided not to reveal her identity as the Divine Doctor. Otherwise, once the classmate knew that his sister was the one they worshipped in the medical field, he would probably pester her and disturb her peace.
"She’s still in university," Hu Xianyun said before glaring at the classmate again, "Didn’t I tell you not to take too much interest in her?"
"Okay, I won’t ask, I won’t ask," the classmate said awkwardly with a smile.
He couldn’t help himself.
Who wouldn’t be moved by such a beautiful young girl?
While they were talking, the sound of the laboratory door opening was heard.
Chen Anna was dozing off on the bench, almost asleep.
Hearing the noise, she lazily opened her eyes, "Manman, how did it go?"
"From Yanli’s sample, we detected quite a bit of placenta ingredient, hyaluronic acid, peptides, retinol, and complex vitamins..."
Jiang Man recited the formula like a treasure.
Finally, she concluded, "This isn’t Dr. M’s secret formula."
She paused, then added, "The placenta ingredient in it isn’t from sheep, it’s human."
At those words, Chen Anna’s face turned deathly pale.
Ever since she got pregnant, she had become extremely sensitive to this kind of thing...
