Chapter 261: Chapter 261 Doubting Your Life_1

After a pause, Song Yunuan continued, "They will say my uncle is aggressively overbearing and will curse you out as being vicious and shameless. In the end, there are no winners, only losers.

I know this, so how could Shangguan Yunqi not understand it? It’s all an act of feigned confusion, but surely, some attitude of yours gave her the wrong impression."

Song Yunuan ranted a bit, then asked Xia Xindong, "Uncle, do you have anything to add?"

Xia Xindong replied, "I have nothing to add. Little Nuan is right, I remember every scene and her expressions and words, I want her attitude!"

Song Yunuan asked Xia Bowen, "Is my request too much?"

Xia Bowen really wanted to say, then why not go directly to her, why make such a big fuss?

Xia Bowen couldn’t quite articulate his feelings but felt a deep wariness of Song Yunuan.

In fact, this is not a good sign.

But this girl is sharp-tongued and quick-witted, and talking to her, you really have to choose your words carefully, almost as if speaking from a textbook.

Otherwise, she’ll debate you into questioning your life.

Xia Bowen immediately responded, "Not too much."

He then continued, "If she remains unrepentant, you do what you must and don’t worry about any consequences."

Song Yunuan sneered, "Why would she remain unrepentant? Does she think your other three children are not human, or does she believe she’s making you happy by acting this way?"

Xia Bowen decided to leave.

If he continued sitting there, this young girl would infuriate him to death.

After all, he now knew what Xia Xindong wanted.

It was reasonable enough, but not when it came to Shangguan Yunqi.

Xia Bowen’s expression grew much calmer, and at this moment, he finally realized that Shangguan Yunqi still hadn’t taken the others seriously.

What would happen tomorrow?

Xia Bowen had no idea.

He stood up, saying it was getting dark, and he should be going. They would meet in the meeting room tomorrow.

Song Yunuan actually had quite a bit of respect for Xia Bowen, who was in fact rather inscrutable.

And he knew when to bend.

Too bad, though, his arrogant capitalist wife would drag him down to hell.

It would be pretty good to be locked up like that, actually.

After everyone had left, Team Leader De asked Xia Xindong about the formula for the No. 06 experimental drug and requested the experimental data, as well as how they intended to reveal it.

This wasn’t a formal conversation; before this, it had always been Xia Bowen who handled these matters, while Xia Xindong had been resting.

Team Leader De wanted to know Xia Xindong’s demands on behalf of his side. They would meet tomorrow to prioritize the investigation, with Shangguan Yunqi having already turned herself in. Although the details were not clear at the time, the procedure was in place, and even if she went crazy and cursed people out in the middle, the procedure would still be carried out to the end.

The documents were in the hands of Police Officer Liu.

If reconciliation was possible, that would be best. If not, then they would see what Xia Xindong wanted.

Next, it was about the formula.

Xia Xindong’s involvement in the experimental development was required.

Only after the drug was produced and its effects proven, could this be brought to a conclusion.

After all, there were still many people claiming they’d been scammed.

Just like that, should they believe it?

Isn’t it possible that Xia Xindong was using them for revenge?

They also said they were too stupid, being completely played by Xia Xindong.

Anyway, there was a lot of different talk.

The reason the working group set off is actually because of Xia Bowen’s influence; he was not yet confused and chose to tell the whole truth.

The initial breakthrough medicine had indeed been developed under the leadership of the teenage Xia Xindong, who had also recounted his conversation with Shangguan Heng.

Along the way, Team Leader De had been watching Shangguan Yunqi’s pretentious behavior and actually felt nauseated.

Of course, this was his personal opinion deep down; he couldn’t let personal feelings interfere, otherwise, he would want to throw Shangguan Yunqi off the train.

As for Xia Bowen, he was also an old fox.

He didn’t know how Xia Bowen would decide in the end.

And after finishing his spiel, Team Leader De eagerly looked at Xia Xindong, hoping to get some sort of information from him.

Xia Xindong said, "I’ve simulated the drug formula countless times, I have the theory and the data, just lacking practical operation. I too hope it can be put into production as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Team Leader De was overjoyed.

This was what mattered most.

In any case, they mustn’t let anything affect the emergence of the medicine.

A lot of people thought the same.

On the train, Old Mr. Gong was probably genuinely worried; waking up from his bunk, he saw Xia Bowen go to the restroom. Deliberately, in front of Shangguan Yunqi and another person, he said, "Anyone who dares to obstruct or destroy the medicine’s development, I will take them down with me."

Everyone also knew of the old man’s tragedy.

At first, no one really understood; they even thought his younger son had gone abroad. Some accused Old Master Gong of abusing his power—they shouted about how his own child was sent off to toil in the countryside, yet in less than a year, unable to endure the hardship, he was sent abroad.

Many said that senior leaders protected Old Master Gong, but the truth was that Gong Yahui had been infected while transporting a patient, no. 06, to the hospital.

Now that the truth had come out, many felt guilty and understood Old Mr. Gong’s feelings. It was said that Yahui had a very strong will, was still in the midst of drug trials, and seemed not yet at a stage of severe deterioration; yet, it was still utterly despairing.

Now there was hope, and Old Mr. Gong would not allow anyone to ruin it.

Team Leader De clenched his hands excitedly; he had to return now. Old Mr. Gong must be eagerly waiting.

But he didn’t really understand what simulation meant, and too embarrassed to ask, he left Erdao River Village with an anxious Xia Bowen.

On the way, they encountered a car which made De Ming pause for a moment. That car, it seemed to be Gu Huai’an’s.

He had seen it a few times before.

It made a particularly deep impression.

Gu Huai’an had reached a cooperation agreement, was he back?

But then...

De Ming thought there shouldn’t be so many buts. Doing his job well, completing the mission seamlessly was his greatest wish.

Meanwhile, Shangguan Yunqi met with Old Qi.

Old Dou was hiding in the shadows, only Old Qi came forward.

Dressed as a middle-aged woman, Old Qi spoke with Shangguan Yunqi.

Shangguan Yunqi asked with venomous accusation, "Why are you dawdling until now, not having dealt with that bitch yet? You’ve taken so much money and enjoyed so many benefits from me, and now, you can’t even handle this little task—are you not too incompetent?"

Old Qi replied, "We have to be cautious, who could have anticipated this condition in Nanshan County Town. It’s a mass cleanup, everyone mobilized, every household is under inspection. Pretending to be monkey handlers, we used to be welcomed everywhere, but now we have been warned not to go out, the monkeys can’t urinate and defecate everywhere, or else we receive fines. Moreover, we need to report our whereabouts if we go out and even take care of plants and flowers."

"I originally planned to meet Liying then found that the inn’s Manager Niu was eyeing us like plainclothes police; we could only find an excuse to leave without even seeing them. However, they are certainly safe. We stopped going because we heard Xia Xindong is an important figure; I suspect someone is protecting him in secret and wouldn’t dare to act rashly."

As Shangguan Yunqi’s face grew increasingly unsightly, Old Qi advised, "A wise man does not fight when the odds are against him. At this critical juncture, madam, you cannot afford to lose your temper."
