In the laboratory, Professor Dong stared nervously at Bai Jing. “Is there a problem?”

He had forcefully snatched this medicine bottle from Director Xu. It hadn’t left his sight the entire time, so there wouldn’t be any mistakes!

However, there was no joy on Bai Jing’s face.

Professor Dong was a little flustered. “Is there a mistake in the composition ratio?”

“No.”

The moment Bai Jing tested the drug, she guessed that the bottle was the one that Qi Mei and Bai Yue had hidden.

However, she did not expose it directly. Instead, she suggested to Professor Dong, “Since it’s effective on lymphoma, why don’t we ask her to contribute the composition table and mass produce the drug? Not only can it save countless cancer patients’ lives, but it can also make a lot of money.”

“That makes sense!”

Professor Dong nodded and praised her for her benevolence as a doctor. He called Bai Yue on the spot to discuss with her.

In the hotel suite, Bai Yue and Fu Heng were watching a movie on the sofa. When she heard the vibration of her phone, she wanted to reject the call, but she hesitated the moment she saw it was Professor Dong.

Fu Heng caressed her waist and asked her to stay close to him. However, his eyes were fixed on the actress who looked like Bai Jing on the screen. This was unacceptable to Bai Yue!

She knew that Fu Heng wanted to win Bai Jing back.

Bai Yue wanted to use Professor Dong to raise her status and get his attention, so she answered with the speakerphone!

“Hello? Professor Dong! What’s wrong?”

Bai Yue gently pressed her index finger against Fu Heng’s thin lips and heard Professor Dong speak on the other end of the phone, “Bai Yue, the treatment drug you developed is very excellent.”

She proudly saw the admiration and brilliance in Fu Heng’s eyes.

But the next second, Professor Dong continued, “Bring the ingredient list to the school tomorrow. I’ll invite the leaders of the Drug Administration to study and discuss the mass production and clinical application of the drug!”

“What?”

Bai Yue was a little flustered. She pushed away Fu Heng’s thin lips when he wanted to kiss and stood up abruptly.

She stepped on the carpet nervously and bit her nails as she thought of a countermeasure. Where was the ingredient list? She didn’t have the formula at all!

Even if she tested it, she could only find the main ingredients!

In a panic, Bai Yue rejected Professor Dong’s suggestion.

“I’m not feeling well. I’m afraid I won’t be able to go to school for the next few days…”

“There are quite a few ingredients needed. I still want to adjust them, I’ll contact you in a few days. Goodbye, Professor Dong!”

She couldn’t hold back her pounding heart and squatted on the ground, hugging her head.

Fu Heng noticed her strange behavior and pulled her up. He stared into Bai Yue’s eyes and asked, “What’s going on? Is that drug yours or not?”

As a cunning person, Fu Heng was extremely sensitive to the problem and interrogated her.

“It’s mine!” Bai Yue stammered.

Fu Heng narrowed his eyes and stared at her. “I want to hear the truth.”

Soon, she couldn’t bear the pressure and changed her words. She said softly, “It… It was developed by Bai Jing.”

After Bai Yue finished speaking, she was very nervous. She was afraid that Fu Heng would get angry and make her apologize to Bai Jing or look down on her!

But none of that happened…

Fu Heng pondered silently for a while. His eyes gradually revealed a greedy look. He took the initiative to lift Bai Yue’s chin and kissed her lips.

“Baby, this is our chance!”

Fu Heng poured two glasses of red wine and handed it to Bai Yue. He gently hugged her and whispered into her ear with the melodious waltz music, “As long as we can get Bai Jing’s formula, we can earn lots of money! We can buy a yacht, go abroad, and do whatever we want!”

“But she won’t easily tell us.”

Bai Yue was filled with anticipation for the beautiful future that Fu Heng had described, but she replied with some worry.

Fu Heng thought of Bai Chen and said to Bai Yue, “We can use her weakness, the person she cares about the most…”

In the evening, Bai Jing put a few pots of mutated orchid seedlings into the incubator. She received a call from Bai Chen’s attending physician, who informed her very seriously.

“Bring Bai Chen to the hospital for a follow-up. Now! According to our long-range monitoring, his condition is likely to worsen!”

“?”

Bai Jing confirmed several times that the other party was not a swindler. She carried Bai Chen to the hospital and did a series of checks.

In the office, Doctor Cui’s expression was grave. He even sighed repeatedly to heighten the atmosphere. He handed a few reports to Bai Jing and looked at Bai Chen, who was being watched by the nurses outside the door.

“The situation is more serious than we expected! His cancer cells are spreading non-stop, and they even have the tendency to spread throughout his body. He can only be hospitalized for treatment now, and can not be moved anymore!”

“I’ll arrange for someone to help you with the hospitalization procedures now.”

As Doctor Cui said this, Bai Jing raised her hand to stop him.. “There’s no need.”
