I Was Seduced Into a Marriage After Failing to Charm the Tyrannical Bigshot

268 It’s Time to Go Back

Sang Qianqian stood by a small lake on the west side of Professor Fu’er’s small courtyard, nervously watching the busy workers.

The thick layer of ice on the surface of the lake was smashed open, and the water inside was quickly sucked dry.

The excavator’s shovel moved the mud and searched carefully.

More than an hour later, a heavy metal box with a height of around two meters was dug out.

!!

The box was washed clean and transported back to Professor Fu’er’s residence. It was covered in rust, but one could still vaguely see that it was an old safe. The number on the password lock could still be distinguished.

“When my daughter passed away, I thought Fu’er was the main culprit. In my anger, I put all the treasures in his laboratory into this safe and threw them into the lake.”

Caroline carefully entered the password, and the old safety lock actually opened with a click.

She looked at Sang Qianqian, who was obviously a little nervous, and smiled. “Don’t worry, this is a specially made safe. It’s waterproof.”

However, how could Sang Qianqian not be worried?

No matter how waterproof a safe was, it would be hard to keep it safe if it was kept underwater for more than ten years.

Moreover, it was filled with medicine and instruction manuals!

The safe’s door creaked and slowly opened in front of her. Sang Qianqian held her breath.

The cabinet was filled with bottles and some yellow tags. Some of the bottles were filled with poison samples, while some were ready-made antidotes.

However, after so many years, whether or not these antidotes were still effective or not still needed to be verified.

As for the label card, it contained detailed introductions and solutions for each poison.

Due to the effects of time, the words had long faded, but fortunately, the liquids were still distinguishable.

Additionally, there was a large amount of manuscript papers in the safe.

Sang Qianqian took a glance and realized that these pieces of paper were actually Professor Fu’er’s half-written “Complete Collection of Poisons’”, which was of great significance.

It not only included Professor Fu’er’s years of induction, research, and thinking on poison, but also the analysis and solutions of many sources of poison.

Professor Fu’er was probably affected by the divorce and the death of his daughter, as he couldn’t complete this great work back then. Alas, he only managed to write one-third of it.

With Xie Shi’an’s help, the bottles and label cards were divided into different categories.

When her gaze fell on one of the transparent glass bottles, Sang Qianqian’s eyes lit up and her heart began to beat rapidly.

Her trust in Professor Fu’er wasn’t baseless. Shen Hanyu’s poison was also in Professor Fu’er’s research sample!

Xie Shi’an saw Sang Qianqian’s expression and knew that she must have found what she wanted. “You found it?”

Sang Qianqian controlled her emotions and nodded. She carefully found the corresponding label and description of the poison.

About 10 minutes later, Sang Qianqian finally found the one she was looking for.

Before the smile on her face could even relax, her heart suddenly tightened again.

Perhaps it was because the safe was soaked in water or something else, but there was data on the corner of the label card that was blurred out.

The formulation of the antidote involved a variety of chemical components, and the amount of each component needed to be precise to the milligram.

However, one of the Arabic numbers that indicated the amount of key ingredients was missing!

“This is 1.9 mg? No, I think it’s 1.8 mg…”

Caroline took a look and was a little confused. “No, why does it look like 1.6 again…”

“It’s possible that it’s 1.5.”

Xie Shi’an added with a very serious tone. “Qianqian, I’m afraid we can’t use this detoxification method until we properly decipher this data.”

Every ingredient in the antidote prescription had to be extremely precise. Otherwise, not only would the poison not be cured, but it might also cause immeasurable side effects to the victim.

Caroline also realized the seriousness of the problem. She was apologetic and uneasy. “Miss Sang, it seems the data has a problem. Is it very troublesome?”

“It is indeed a little troublesome.”

Sang Qianqian smiled. “But it’s fine. There’s only four possibilities here, so I can just try them one by one.”

Caroline wasn’t a doctor, so she naturally didn’t know what kind of price she would have to pay if she tried each of these four possibilities.

But Xie Shi’an was very clear about it. Hearing this, his voice became a little tense. “Qianqian, you…”

Sang Qianqian knew what Xie Shi’an was going to say, but she did not want to mention it in front of Caroline. She interrupted Xie Shi’an and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, I’ll find the correct data.”

Caroline clutched her chest and heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good, that’s good.”

She had specially rushed over to see Sang Qianqian, hoping that she could help her.

Ruan Xiaodie’s treatment was beyond her capabilities and she could not provide anything useful. However, if even all this turned out to be useless, then she would really owe Sang Qianqian too much.

“These manuscripts and potions are of no use to me.”

Pointing at the bottles and the large pile of manuscripts, Caroline said, “If Miss Sang is willing, you can take them all. Fu’er’s research needs a successor.”

Sang Qianqian was dumbfounded. She could not believe it. “Are you sure you want to give these to me?”

Some of Professor Fu’er’s research results had already been published in international journals and had been successfully applied to clinical medicine.

However, there were some that had never been announced to the public. Every single one of them was an achievement that could cause a sensation in the medical field, and was sufficient to bring Caroline unimaginable benefits!

“The money you gave me before, as well as the inheritance Fu’er left me, is enough for me to live. As for Fu’er’s research, it shouldn’t be used for my personal gain, but should be used to contribute to the health of human beings.”

Caroline looked at Sang Qianqian and said sincerely, “Miss Sang, I think Fu’er will be very happy to hand over his research results to you. I also believe that you will be able to fulfill his last wish.”

Whether it was Sang Qianqian’s looks, upbringing, mannerisms, the way she spoke, or her previous attitude toward Caroline, as well as her generosity, all of these showed that she had grown up in a good family and had received extremely good education.

Toward people like Caroline, she had maintained the most basic of goodwill. She was not related to Professor Fu’er in any way, but she had done her best to take care of Fu’er’s funeral.

All of these factors had caused Caroline to develop a very good impression and trust in Sang Qianqian. Handing over Fu’er’s research results to Sang Qianqian was for the best.

...

Sang Qianqian found it hard to describe her feelings at the moment. What she had received was a gift of immeasurable value.

“Thank you, Caroline.”

Sang Qianqian was moved. “I promise you, I will do my best to compile and publish Professor Fu’er’s research. I will strive to get this ‘Complete Collection of Poisons’ published as soon as possible.”

“I’ll be waiting for your good news.”

Caroline smiled as she held Sang Qianqian’s hand and hugged her gently. “I should be leaving now, Miss Sang. I wish you a safe journey, and I hope we can meet again in the future.”

After sending Caroline off, Sang Qianqian’s heart was still unable to calm down.

This trip abroad had been full of ups and downs. Although she had some regrets, she had finally received an unimaginable gift.

This trip wasn’t in vain.

It was time to go back and see Shen Hanyu.
