Chapter 590: Chapter 590: Do You Still Want to Compete with Your Sister on Who’s More Thorough?

“Lao San, have you lost your mind?” Chen Xinwan was incredulous.

Bai Jingrui: ??

He’s not mad!

What’s wrong now?

Chen Xinwan: “You say you’re not crazy, but how could you take the drug powder for testing yourself? Couldn’t you ask other professionals for help? Don’t you know about your sister’s health condition? What if the drug is toxic and harms your sister?”

Bai Jingrui: “…”

Alright, hearing it like this, it does sound like it’s his fault.

“Mom, I…”

“Don’t call me mom. I can’t believe I have a son like you. Why don’t you care for your sister?”

Bai Jingrui was on the verge of tears. What heinous crime had he committed?

Li Yehan: “Mom, I’ve already talked to him. Please calm down. If you get sick, Qiaoqiao would be heartbroken.”

Chen Xinwan: “Lao San, look at Ye Han, how much he cares for me, how filial he is. This kid is just so dutiful.”

Bai Jingrui: “…”

Great, now he’s become the undutiful child.

“Mom, you are my biological mother.”

Chen Xinwan: “If I weren’t your real mother, I’d have kicked you out long ago. From now on, never involve your sister in such dangerous matters. She can’t do such risky things, understand?”

Bai Jingrui sat down, thinking about how well he knew that. Of course, he knew.

Just didn’t expect that a packet of drug powder could be so lethal.

At this moment, Nan Qiao arrived.

“Mom, don’t blame Third Brother. The drug powder isn’t very harmful. I wore specially designed protective gear; there’s no problem. If it were risky, I wouldn’t have taken on this task. Third Brother asked if I could handle it, so he does care about me.”

Nan Qiao’s words moved Bai Jingrui deeply.

Sister indeed likes her third brother!

Nan Qiao continued: “Fortunately, Third Brother came to me, allowing me to discover the secret of this drug powder.”

Everyone looked curiously at Nan Qiao, curious about what was inside the drug powder.

Nan Qiao explained: “This drug powder damages the user’s body; the heightened spirit comes with the side effect of harming the body.”

Bai Jingrui: “Zhang Qin said he had it examined at a hospital, and they found nothing. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked me to seek your help.”

Bai Jingrui was full of admiration for his sister.

His sister is impressive!

Bai Jingrui: “Zhang Qin might be under surveillance, and the test results he sent out were swapped. Luckily, he knows me, and I have a sister. Otherwise, he’d have no idea how he died.”

Nan Qiao advised: “Third Brother, tell Zhang Qin to pay close attention to who his father has been associating with. Not only his father, but his mother and others in the family should also be cautious.”

Bai Jingrui: “I’ll call him and arrange to meet him tomorrow. It’s inconvenient to talk over the phone, as being overheard would only complicate things.”

Chen Xinwan: “Lao San, you’ve grown up and become more thorough in your thinking.”

“Mom, I’m older than Sister. If I’m not thorough, how can I protect my sister?” Bai Jingrui said with a mix of laughter and tears.

He is, after all, the elder brother. If he’s not mature, how can that work?

Chen Xinwan blurted out: “You really think you can be more thorough than your sister?”

Bai Jingrui: “…”

Really, there’s no way to continue this conversation.

Bai Jingrui turned and left, feeling depressed as he walked. Who exactly did he offend?

…

The moon hung high in the dark sky.

Behind a large tree, there was a hidden entrance.

Two silhouettes sneaked through the entrance, descending step by step into a laboratory.

Blood flowed on the floor, emitting a sweet and pungent smell.

On the surgical table lay a person, being injected with a pale green liquid.

A slender figure approached, speaking in a cold voice: “How is the experiment progressing?”

“It’s almost done. 74 was discovered and fell into their study. Rest assured, they won’t figure out anything. 74 doesn’t contain much, they can’t discover us.”

The woman let out a small hum: “Since 74 was exposed, you can’t afford any mistakes with 75 in your hands. Or you’ll lose your heads!”

“Boss, rest assured. We are putting all our efforts into 75, and we’ll make it the most perfect experiment.”

The woman said nothing, continuing to walk inside.

In one room, a huge display showed a photo of Nan Shan and his various physical data.

“Nan Shan is missing. I went to Qing Shan to find him, only to learn that he had left long ago, sneaking away on his own.”

The woman frowned: “Did he go looking for Nan Qiao?”

“No, Nan Qiao doesn’t know about Nan Shan’s disappearance yet.”

The woman crossed her arms, carefully examining the data on the screen.

“Since Nan Qiao doesn’t know, inform her about it. Nan Qiao is capable; let her help us find Nan Shan quickly.”

The speaking man brightened with admiration.

This is good news!

They won’t have to hunt extensively or worry about exposure. They only need to follow Nan Qiao and pick up the trail.

The woman took out her phone, scrolling through the received messages.

“Is Nan Qiao’s identity confirmed?”

“Boss, it hasn’t been confirmed yet. When the doctor was killed back then, the data was destroyed, and we can’t verify it. If the doctor were still alive, he could help us confirm the results.”

“Incompetent fools!” the woman shouted, kicking out.

The man knelt on the ground, blood trickling from his mouth.

“Keep investigating. If you can’t find results, bring your head to me!” The woman turned and left angrily.

…

Nan Qiao, who was sleeping, suddenly opened her eyes and sat up.

Li Yehan almost immediately awakened, sitting up as well.

“Qiaoqiao, did you have a nightmare?”

Li Yehan reached over to turn on the bedside lamp.

Sweat was on Nan Qiao’s forehead, her brow furrowed, and she looked quite unhappy.

Li Yehan held her hand, speaking softly: “Don’t be afraid, it’s just a dream. Dreams and reality are opposites.”

Nan Qiao hugged Li Yehan, leaning against his chest, speaking in a muffled voice: “I’m fine.”

Li Yehan held her, gently patting her back.

The gentle actions calmed Nan Qiao’s emotions.

After a while, Nan Qiao pulled back from Li Yehan’s embrace.

“Li Yehan, I’m fine now.”

Nan Qiao lay back down, but Li Yehan pulled her up: “You definitely can’t sleep. Come, lean on the sofa for a while. It’s uncomfortable for your body to keep lying down.”

Nan Qiao looked at Li Yehan beside her with gentle eyes. He really was considerate, thinking of everything.

There’s no denying that Li Yehan was truly very thorough.

Leaning on the sofa indeed felt much better than lying down.

“Qiaoqiao, what did you dream about?” It was the first time Li Yehan saw Nan Qiao so frightened by a nightmare.

Li Yehan didn’t want Nan Qiao to recall those things, but he needed to know what the dream reflected in reality.

Li Yehan pulled Nan Qiao close, embracing her, using his body to soothe her restless emotions.

Nan Qiao recounted honestly: “I dreamed that I was lying on a surgical table in a laboratory, with someone injecting drugs into my body.”
