Xu Zixi wiped away her tears and lifted her head from Yan Yincheng's embrace. There, outside the observation room, she saw Bai Xuanhe and Alex.
She knew that the two had been staying in Yuncheng these days. Presumably, they had gone to pay their respects at Mr. Tang's tomb.
Perhaps it was the glimmer of hope seen in the experimental results that made her resentment towards them fade a little.
Forget it. Since Brother Cheng had made his choice, she would no longer dwell on the past. Otherwise, how would she be any different from Bai Xuanhe?
Without hesitation after getting the experimental results, Xu Zixi immediately gathered everyone in the research lab for a meeting.
"A week ago, Professor He and I modified the drug - ratio parameters based on the previous experiment and made another drug. This drug has greatly shortened the experiment time from fifteen days to seven days, with a 100% cure rate. I believe we've met the conditions for the clinical - trial stage."
As she spoke, Xu Zixi showed everyone the experimental results in her hand.
Sure enough, seeing all the experimental subjects regain their eyesight, the meeting room erupted in deafening cheers. Some even jumped up from their chairs.
Xu Zixi was infected by the mood and became excited again.
Clinical trials are the real challenge in drug research. When a drug is used on experimental subjects, it is diluted according to their weight to ensure the best effect.
The human body is several times more complex than experimental subjects. It's very possible that a drug that is successful on experimental subjects may have disappointing results on humans.
So, the success of a drug on experimental subjects doesn't mean it can cure diseases. They will also adjust the ratio parameters according to the drug - rejection situation of clinical patients to ensure the drug's effectiveness reaches 95%.
This stage can take at least a few months and at most several years.
But at least they had taken an important step. Even though Bai Xuanhe had tampered with the initial parameters, one experimental subject was still successfully cured, which meant their research direction was correct. As long as they kept going, they were sure to succeed one day.
Due to this major progress in the research, Xu Zixi was so happy that she immediately gave everyone an afternoon off.
As everyone was leaving the research lab one by one, Xu Zixi called Bai Xuanhe to stop.
"Xuanxuan asked me to invite you to our home as a guest."
Bai Xuanhe was stunned for a moment. He thought she wouldn't talk to him anymore. Surprised, a warm current flowed through his heart. "I'm honored."
Looking at Alex, Xu Zixi paused and said, "And you, Alex."
Alex was both surprised and delighted. "Can I still get close to Xuanxuan and teach him medical knowledge?"
Yan Yincheng said indifferently, "If you don't want to come, you don't have to."
Then he took Xu Zixi's hand and walked out.
Bai Xuanhe and Alex, of course, couldn't refuse and quickly followed.
In the morning when they were going out, Xuanxuan had indeed expressed his intention to invite Bai Xuanhe and Alex to their home to Xu Zixi and Yan Yincheng.
In this life, having received all the love from Xu Zixi and Yan Yincheng and having caring relatives and friends, the two kids had extremely pure hearts.
In their world, the bad shadows only occupied a very small part. Most of the time, it was filled with sunshine.
Once someone was included in their circle, they would be treated whole - heartedly.
This was exactly the purpose of Xu Zixi and Yan Yincheng's second chance at life.
On the streets of Fengcheng, the Maybach and Alex's Porsche drove one after another towards Xu's mansion.
On the way, Yan Yincheng said to Xu Zixi, "Wife, I have another good news for you. Today is also the day when the Yuantianlei couple are released from prison."
Xu Zixi narrowed her eyes slightly, recalling her previous speculation.
She suspected that Yan Zhen's death was related to the Yuan family. But since the Yuan couple and Yuan Ya'er were all in prison before, they hadn't found any useful clues.
Now that the couple was out of prison, it was a good opportunity for them to start the investigation again.
This could be considered a "double blessing".
"Wei Shu, send someone to keep a close eye on them. Maybe we'll get some unexpected findings."
Wei Shu immediately replied, "Yes, Madam."
Strangely enough, as if luck was on Xu Zixi's side, as soon as their car turned onto a road, Wei Shu in the front passenger seat said in surprise:
"Third Master, Madam, those two people in front seem to be the just - released Yuan couple."
Xu Zixi looked out of the window and saw the Yuan couple arguing with a woman in a red dress on the street.
Getting into trouble right after getting out of prison? This was quite exciting! It seemed that the Yuan couple had offended a lot of people.
Xu Zixi raised her eyebrows, told the driver to stop by the roadside, then pulled Yan Yincheng out of the car. With her arms crossed, she stood by the roadside watching the show.
They weren't too far away, and it was enough for them to hear what they were arguing about.
The general idea was that Father Yuan had promised the red - dressed woman some conditions but had never fulfilled his promise and given her the reward she deserved.
In short, she was here to ask Father Yuan for money.
"Tsk tsk. I didn't expect Father Yuan to still have a scandal after being in prison for two years at his age."
Xu Zixi was quite surprised.
Behind them, Alex and Bai Xuanhe saw Xu Zixi and Yan Yincheng stop the car and get out to watch the show, so they also got out of the car to join in.
For a moment, the Yuan couple and the red - dressed woman were surrounded by a circle of people, all enjoying the drama.
However, when the woman turned around and showed her face, the smile on Xu Zixi's face disappeared instantly.
She remembered this woman!
She was the woman that Yan Zhen had sacrificed his life to save when the accident happened!
Without time to explain to the others, she immediately said to Wei Shu and A Qiang, who was driving:
"Quick, arrest the Yuan couple and that woman!"
Her face was serious, and her voice was cold. Without much thought, Wei Shu and A Qiang stepped forward with her to separate the fighting Yuan couple and the red - dressed woman and then control them.
"Let me go! I haven't broken the law. Why are you arresting me?" Having just been released from prison but being arrested again, Father Yuan was extremely agitated due to his fear of prison.
The red - dressed woman also struggled and said, "I'm just trying to get the reward I deserve. Why are you arresting me!"
"Not broken the law? Just asking for a reward?" Xu Zixi sneered. "Fine. Let's go to the police station and let the police mediate for you."
Hearing this voice like a nightmare, Father Yuan looked up and saw Xu Zixi and Yan Yincheng standing in front of him. His face changed several times instantly.
What a small world! How could they run into these two devils here!
Wait, what did she just say? Take them to the police station?
No! Absolutely not! If they went to the police station, everything would be over!
But it was too late. Right in front of them, Xu Zixi dialed the phone number of Wang Hao, the captain of the criminal police team of Fengcheng Police Station, and said:
"Officer Wang, before we told you that we suspected Yan Zhen's death was not an accident. I now have very important clues. I'm afraid you need to bring your people here immediately."
Mother Yuan roared hysterically, "Yuan Xi, you unfilial daughter! Isn't it enough for you to send us to prison once? You still want to send us there a second time! Are you worthy of the eighteen years of upbringing we gave you?!"
Xu Zixi said coldly, "Ms. Qin, have you forgotten that I have nothing to do with you anymore?"
The police came quickly. It only took about five minutes from the time they received Xu Zixi's call to their arrival. Seeing the three people being controlled, Wang Hao couldn't help but whistle.
"Yo, old acquaintances."
Sure enough, the just - released Yuan couple was arrested again.
Only after seeing the Yuan couple and the red - dressed woman being handcuffed did Xu Zixi suddenly remember something. She turned around and found that Bai Xuanhe and Alex had disappeared.
Presumably, because of their sensitive identities, they were afraid that the police would notice something and had hidden themselves somewhere.
