Chapter 1966 Did the other side succeed?
Seeing Zhang Ran brew the tea, Qiu Yu sat up, picked up a cup, took a small sip, put the cup down, and then lay back down contentedly. She subconsciously asked, "So how long are you planning to act? Ten days or half a month?"
"A lifetime," Zhang Ran said calmly.
Qiu Yu suddenly froze, twitched the corners of her mouth, and ultimately said nothing, leaving only the aroma of tea filling the room in silence.
The next day, Zhang Ran went to school with a pile of documents to get her graduation certificate. She took out her phone and made a call, only to find out that Tang Shuang and the others were not in the lab at all, but were all at the hospital.
After hanging up the phone, he looked at Dongchan and said, "Let's go to the hospital."
Tang Shuang told her over the phone that Yan Jiu had been in a car accident and was in the hospital.
Upon arriving at the hospital, as soon as they got out of the car, they saw Tang Shuang and Bai Shanshan waiting at the main entrance.
When Zhang Ran approached, she saw that both of them had red eyes, obviously having cried. Their hair was messy, and they looked very unwell. It seemed that something unknown had happened while she was away. Yan Jiu's car accident was probably not an accident. If it were just an ordinary car accident, these two wouldn't have been so frightened that they cried.
"Sister Ran, you're finally back." Tang Shuang's eyes lit up as if she had found her pillar of support when she saw Zhang Ran.
“Yan Jiu is seriously injured,” Bai Shanshan told her. “He’s in the intensive care unit. The doctor said if he doesn’t wake up within three days, he might never wake up again.”
On a hot and humid summer day, with people coming and going at the hospital entrance making it difficult to talk, Zhang Ran suggested, "It's almost noon, let me treat you to lunch."
The two followed Zhang Ran to a private restaurant, booked a private room, and talked with the door closed.
After sitting down, Zhang Ran looked at the two of them and asked, "What did the police say? Was it an accident or intentional?" With such a serious collision, they must have called the police.
With red eyes, Tang Shuang recalled what the police had said: "After the investigation, the police said that the driver was driving while fatigued and that it was an accident."
Bai Shanshan retorted, "We both believe it was man-made."
“Reason.” Zhang Ran tapped her fingers twice on the smooth tabletop, making a crisp sound.
Tang Shuang suddenly burst into tears: "We had just developed a special drug to treat stomach cancer, and the next thing we knew, someone was approaching us, wanting to buy out our research results."
For the past few years, they've been eating and spending Zhang Ran's money. If they dare to sell their research results, Zhang Ran says they'll have to pay off their debts with their bodies.
At the time, she had the wrong idea and shyly asked how she could repay him with her body.
Zhang Ran said that they ate their flesh, drank their blood, skinned them, pulled out their tendons, sliced them into salmon, fed their bones to the dogs, and scattered their ashes.
In any case, they would never sell their research results without permission and betray Zhang Ran.
“After we refused, several people contacted us privately.”
"No matter how high the price they offered, we firmly refused."
"After that, we all had one accident after another. We received threatening text messages, threatening phone calls in the middle of the night, packages containing the bodies of abused animals, and we were beaten up for no reason while walking on the street." Tang Shuang's tears flowed uncontrollably. "I was so scared that I moved in with Sister Shanshan." She broke down in sobs as she spoke.
Bai Shanshan continued, "We reminded Yan Jiu not to travel alone recently, and he got hit by a car. This was definitely not an accident!"
Tang Shuang composed herself, wiped away her tears, and nodded in agreement, "The other party must have deliberately caused the car accident to steal the research results. We told the police everything, but after the investigation, the police still said it was an accident."
"Did they succeed?" Zhang Ran asked, getting to the heart of the matter.
