Chapter 21 The Heiress in a Wealthy Family (20)
After settling in, Dean Yan had Old Master Yang sign the agreement.
At first, the two elderly people were full of worries, but Huo Jue persuaded them with his own real experiences.
Yang Tongtong was very sensible and comforted his grandparents, saying, "Grandpa and Grandma, don't worry, I'll take my medicine very well."
When Grandpa Yang picked up the antidote pill and fed it to him...
He obediently opened his mouth, and the medicine melted instantly in his mouth, startling him so much that he cried out, "Grandpa, the medicine went in..."
Everyone present was watching his expression closely; Dean Yan was even prepared to perform emergency resuscitation at any moment.
The two elderly people were holding hands tightly, and upon closer inspection, their hands were trembling slightly.
Ten minutes later, Yang Tongtong suddenly sat up. "Grandpa and Grandma, my head doesn't hurt anymore, and my stomach doesn't hurt anymore. I want to eat!"
Does this mean everything is alright? Dean Yan stepped forward and began to examine Yang Tongtong meticulously.
After the examination, the previously purplish fingers and weak pulse had returned to normal.
The nurse drew a few more vials of blood for testing. Huo Jue took out the bread he had bought and gave it to Yang Tongtong so that he could have something to eat first.
A short while later, the nurse came in with the lab results, which showed that all the indicators had returned to normal.
"Uncle Yang, Aunt Huang, Tongtong is all better," Dean Yan handed the lab results to the two elderly people.
Although Mr. Yang couldn't understand the technical jargon, he recognized the word "normal" written on it.
He immediately covered his face and wept bitterly, repeatedly saying, "That's wonderful, that's wonderful!"
Huo Jue was genuinely happy for this family; now that the antidote pill had successfully passed the drug testing,
Dean Yan will submit a detailed report to the commander, but he still wants to share this good news in advance.
Before leaving, Huo Jue stuffed the 2000 yuan into Old Master Yang's hand and ran off, ignoring their calls after him.
Just when all hope seemed lost, the sunlight that pierced through gave Yang Tongtong's family a new lease on life.
Commander Xu obtained Dean Yan's detailed report on the clinical trial of the antidote pills, and he took the report and the antidote pills to see his superiors.
When he came out of the leader's office, the antidote pill in his hand was gone.
His forehead was still covered in sweat. "My god, these old scientists are insane! They're all in their seventies and eighties, how can they move so quickly..."

"Xian'er, I just went to a meeting, how come you've already completed 95% of the task? What have you been doing?"
Xiao Ba, who hadn't been online for a long time, was stunned when she suddenly logged in and saw the task progress bar!
"I didn't do anything, I was just doing the same thing as usual,"
How would Huang Xian'er know what was going on? She hadn't done anything special.
"Then tell me what you've been doing during this time, and I'll analyze it for you!"
Huang Xian'er used the live stream to save He Mingzhu, and the antidote saved Huo Jue.
The story of handing over the remaining antidote pills to the military was also briefly described.
"Waaah... My host is so capable, I feel like he doesn't need me anymore." Little Eight sobbed.
"Little Eight is the cutest, don't cry, don't cry," how can a system be so prone to crying?
With Huang Xian'er's comforting words, Xiao Ba calmed down again. Once calm, Xiao Ba repeatedly made her request...
Huang Xian'er must call it promptly if she needs anything, otherwise it will feel like it's a failure to create a system.
If Huang Xian'er had completed the task on her own without its help, it would have lost face among its kind.
"Ah..." Xiao Ba, who had just been muttering to herself, suddenly screamed.
"What's wrong, Xiao Ba!"
"Xian'er, we've struck gold! How did we get so many...points?" Xiao Ba's excited voice was a little slurred.
Huang Xian'er also became curious, "Xiao Ba, explain more clearly, how many points do we have?"
Xiao Ba solemnly replied, "Xian'er, it shows 100 million points."
A system screen appeared in front of Huang Xian'er, next to system number 3328.
The points were displayed in bright red, so bright it was almost blinding.
"Xian'er, now that we have points, we can redeem whatever we want," Xiao Ba said with great pride and excitement.
"I don't need it for now, I'll contact you when I do!" Points are hard-earned, so we should spend them wisely.
"Ah...really, we don't need to?" Xiao Ba's mood became a little down.
"Xiao Ba, think about it, I don't lack anything right now. I have money, and my family cares about me a lot. I don't lack anything materially for the time being."
"But I can't guarantee that I won't encounter any accidents in my lifetime in this world. What if I do encounter an accident and don't have any points?"
Xiao Ba suddenly understood her worries, and quickly cheered up again, "Okay, Xian'er, I understand!"
Huang Xian'er thought that handing over the antidote would end the matter, but unexpectedly, the military sent Huo Jue to find her again...
When the maid informed her, she thought she had misheard, put down her book, and quickly went downstairs.
Looking down from the second floor, Huo Jue, dressed in his uniform, still maintained an upright posture even while seated, making him a very pleasing sight.
Beside him was a thin, middle-aged man with a scholarly air.
The man wasn't wearing a uniform, so Huang Xian'er wasn't sure what his profession was.
Seeing Huang Xian'er come down, Huo Jue stood up and said, "Xian'er, I'm sorry to bother you again. This is researcher Chen Shan. He has some questions he wants to ask you in person."
Huo Jue was filled with unease, but the research and development of the antidote pill had made little progress.
The amount Huang Xian'er provided was insufficient to cover the soldiers throughout the entire border region.
When she learned that her superiors needed to send someone to find her again, Huo Jue volunteered to go to the Huang family.
He knew he had developed feelings for Huang Xian'er from their very first meeting.
His profession simply doesn't allow him the time to pursue Huang Xian'er like those rich second-generation heirs.
He never expressed his feelings, not because he was afraid of rejection, but because he was afraid he wouldn't have time to nurture the relationship.
I originally intended to keep it to myself, but after hearing the news, I couldn't help but want to see her, even if it was for work...
"Hello, Mr. Chen, what brings you here?" Huang Xian'er greeted him briefly before asking directly.
Chen Shan knew that the person who came to see him today was a woman, but he didn't expect her to look like this.
It was indescribable. It took him a while to react and then he continued speaking in the same vein as Huang Xian'er.
"Hello, Huang Xian'er, I am a researcher of the 'Antidote Pill'. I am here on behalf of the research institute to make a request," Chen Shan said nervously, rubbing his hands together.
Huang Xian'er vaguely guessed what the problem was, but her expression remained unchanged. "Mr. Chen, please speak!"
Chen Shan explained his purpose: the antidote pill had its ingredients analyzed, medicinal proportions determined, and the drug synthesized by their research institute.
Although a replica of the antidote pill was made...
During the experiment, the mice either died on the spot or died halfway through; the longest-living one only lived for two days.
This has left everyone perplexed. They followed the steps outlined in the analysis, but they still don't know where the problem lies.
Several different pharmaceutical experts were brought in to re-analyze, re-formulate, and re-synthesize the drug, but the result remained the same.
So the people above sent him to ask the person in charge if there was a prescription.
