Lord Yan, The Little Ancestor Has Fallen Off The Horse Again!-Chapter 498: Forbidden for Many Years

"Master, who has upset you?" Fei Canqing asked cautiously.

Yun Yue frowned tightly with a hint of spite, her voice lacking warmth, "How’s the research going on the medicine I asked you to study? Is there an antidote?"

"I’ve worked it out, but I forgot to tell you earlier because I was busy. The medicine from D Laboratory is a forbidden drug, and an antidote is even more unlikely. Short-term usage can cause headaches and memory decline, while long-term use can lead to irreversible brain damage that is difficult to repair," Fei Canqing said curiously, looking at her.

Such medicine could cause brain decay; anyone who took it long-term wouldn’t live past fifty.

Yun Yue’s eyes narrowed slightly, D Laboratory again!

"But this drug was completely destroyed over twenty years ago. Where did you get it?" Fei Canqing asked earnestly.

Back then, there was an abundance of forbidden drugs in D Laboratory, but the harmful ones were all destroyed, leaving only those that could save lives.

Yun Yue did not answer him. She already had an answer in her mind and turned to leave directly.

Fei Canqing was filled with questions. Seeing Yun Yue’s demeanor, he feared that someone close to her had been dosed with this drug.

He just didn’t know how long they had been taking the drug.

In fact, this drug was also a slow poison that could not be cured if taken for more than twenty-five years.

As long as the dosage in the body did not meet a certain threshold, it wouldn’t be fatal; early detection would lead at most to a headache, memory decline, or other side effects.

Xiao Chen had been waiting at the first-floor elevator entrance, having just finished a call when Yun Yue came out.

Her face was cold and emotionless, wrapped in an oppressive aura.

Xiao Chen ended the call and covered her icy hand with his palm, "What’s wrong? Did you make a new discovery?"

"There are some things I hope you can give me an answer to," Yun Yue said, looking up to meet his gaze.

In Xiao Chen’s eyes, he saw the bloodthirst and frost at the bottom of her eyes. She had never spoken to him with such an alienated tone. He grasped her hand more tightly, "Tell me."

"Are you currently in charge of D Laboratory?"

"Yes."

"Who was in charge twenty years ago?"

Yun Yue knew her grandfather had been in D Laboratory more than twenty years ago and that the drug had leaked from there. Her grandfather would never have researched such harmful medicine—or perhaps he had been coerced!

Xiao Chen’s expression flickered, and his thin lips pursed slightly, "Do you really want to know?"

Yun Yue insisted, "I must."

"Alright," Xiao Chen said with some reluctance. He knew that even if he didn’t tell her, she would find a way to uncover the truth.

He held her hand gently, his expression serious: "I don’t know much about what happened more than twenty years ago either; I only heard it from my elders.

At that time, Elder He’s eldest son, He Yao, was managing the laboratory."

"He Yao?" Yun Yue knitted her brows, having never heard that Elder He had a son. She thought He Lv and Aunt Zhen were his only children.

"Yes, back then, He Yao somehow found the Ghost Doctor and developed a number of special-effect drugs in D Laboratory, which could save or harm people.

He coerced the Ghost Doctor and some medical research experts into studying bio-medicines, aiming to change human physical structures or control mankind through drugs.

After his actions were discovered, the Four Major Families persuaded him to stop these medical developments because the drugs exceeded human understanding and violated natural laws of life and death. If these drugs were mass-produced, it would be a disaster for the entire earth.

Still, He Yao didn’t listen, so the Four Major Families had no choice but to unite and take away his management rights of D Laboratory. He disappeared overnight, and it’s unknown if he’s dead or alive. The Four Major Families’ Family Heads personally supervised the destruction of these harmful drugs, keeping only the ones used for treating and saving people.

Elder He disowned him from the He Family, and this matter has always been a taboo in Beijing, known only by a few core members of the Four Major Families. My father told me what I know."

After hearing Xiao Chen’s account, Yun Yue clenched her fists until they cracked loudly.

Her grandfather had indeed been coerced.

For some reason, she had an intuition that this He Yao was definitely not dead!

Perhaps one day they would stand before each other as enemies!

"Are you asking all this because Aunt Xiang’s illness is related to the drugs from D laboratory?" Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes.

She wouldn’t be asking about this without reason, the most likely explanation was that Lin Xiang’s illness was related to D laboratory.

"Yes, over the years someone has been controlling the Lin Family with this drug, including Aunt Xiang’s father," Yun Yue replied softly.

The timelines matched.

If He Yao had always been the one controlling the Lin Family, where was he now?

Xiao Chen looked shocked, as the ban on those drugs meant they should have all been destroyed. How could they still exist?

"We must keep this a secret, and not mention it to anyone," Xiao Chen said soberly, his dark eyes inscrutable.

If the other major families were to know, it would undoubtedly lead to unnecessary panic.

"Don’t worry, the most important thing right now is to treat Aunt Xiang," Yun Yue said, her smile not reaching her eyes.

When she just now took Aunt Xiang’s pulse, she could only tell that her physical condition was somewhat poor, with deficient qi and blood. As for the specific illness, they would have to wait for the test results.

In the hospital room, Lin Xuanze stayed vigilantly by Lin Xiang’s side, fearing that if he left even for a moment, he might never see her again.

Xiao Chen had other matters to attend to and left, heading straight to Song Yu’s office.

Song Yu was working when he heard a knock and called out, "Come in."

He looked up and realized the visitor was Yun Yue, pushing up his glasses, "What brings you here?"

Yun Yue took a seat on the sofa beside him, "I need to talk to you."

Song Yu chuckled lightly, "It’s true what they say, no one visits a temple without a cause. What’s the matter?"

"Lin Xiang, my current stepmother, I need her medical report today. You will be in charge of her treatment," she demanded.

Song Yu’s expression became serious, "Okay, no problem."

Yun Yue rubbed her brow lightly, glanced at the time, and said, "Thank you."

"No need to thank me, I’m expecting to be just an assistant anyway," Song Yu said, watching her.

He knew that she would personally perform surgery on those she valued, and he was more than willing to learn from her, considering his medical skills weren’t as good as hers. freewēbnoveℓ.com

Yun Yue returned to the hospital room to find that Sister Li and Liu Lanfang were not there, leaving only Lin Xuanze and Lin Zhonghai.

Zhonghai looked at Xuanze, who seemed as tight as a drawn bowstring, and felt some heartache, "Xuanze, it’s getting late. Why don’t you head back to rest? You have classes tomorrow."

"I’m not going back. I’ll just stay here, I’m not moving," Lin Xuanze gripped Lin Xiang’s hand even tighter, shaking his head rapidly.

Zhonghai: "..."

"Is this room 602?" A familiar female voice came from outside the door. They looked up to see a group of people pushing a patient into the room.

Zhonghai was a bit startled, "Are you guys mistaken? This is supposed to be a private room."

He was sure he had booked a private room.

There couldn’t possibly be a second bed!

Hearing Zhonghai’s voice, Bai Hui turned around, also seemingly astonished, "What are you doing here?!"

Zhonghai had no good feelings toward this woman, and frowned, "This is the room we booked. Please take your people and leave."
