228 Chapter 228 Immortality
After Qian Yao lost contact with Ghost Firefly, Ah Jin broke away from their surveillance, and Long Yan secretly called the traffic monitoring system, and the monitoring showed that Ah Jin drove the car into a blind spot of monitoring, and it never appeared again. He arranged for people to investigate the area, but no trace of Ah Jin was found. He and Qian Yao both guessed that Ah Jin might also have something like an invisibility charm in his hand, and in order to avoid startling the snake, they could only hold it and stare at Ah Jin's residence, waiting for him to appear again.
The wait is five days.
During this period, Long Yan secretly arranged for people to investigate the research institute where Professor Hou worked and the Zheng family's pharmaceutical factory.
The institute was located in the area where the imperial capital and Province H bordered, not too far from the pharmaceutical factory, and they rented a large area of land in the area under the pretext of experimentation, and then fenced the area with a fence. After investigation, in recent years, the land outside the fence has also been rented by the institute, and then distributed to local residents to grow some Chinese medicinal materials.
The institute is generous, not only providing them with seeds and planting techniques for medicinal herbs, but also often buying back medicinal herbs at prices slightly higher than the market price, completely helping local villagers get rid of poverty and become rich. As a result, the local villagers are very protective of the institute, but at the same time they are worried that someone else will steal their jobs, and they are very xenophobic, and the occasional unfamiliar face will arouse their alarm, let alone want to ask them about the situation of the institute.
The control of the institute itself is also very strict, whether it is scientific researchers or ordinary employees, after entering, they eat and live in it. Long Yan secretly investigated some of the personnel announced by the research institute and found that most of them only had a few days off during the New Year, and many scientific researchers could not even go home for the New Year.
Long Yan wanted to see if he could find out a little about the situation of the institute from the mouths of the staff who had left the institute, but as a result, the institute had not left any scientific researchers for more than ten or twenty years since its establishment in the millennium. Even the number of ordinary employees who left the company was pitiful, and the few who passed away not long after leaving the company, and not long after, their family members passed away either due to illness or accidents.
This is definitely no coincidence!
After the ghost servant sent by Long Yan to investigate returned, it just confirmed his opinion.
The formation was laid around the research institute, but fortunately, one of them was a person from the Xuanmen before his death, and he had a lot of research on the formation, and he didn't touch the formation when he found it in time, otherwise it would definitely alarm the people in the research institute.
It was difficult to start on the research institute's side, so Long Yan had to work the pharmaceutical factory's side.
However, the management of the pharmaceutical factory is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, the factory adopts fully automated production, and the number of workers employed is very small, but the loyalty is unexpectedly high. Long Yan could only send the ghost servant to investigate in the factory again, fortunately, there was no formation in the factory, but there was also nothing strange about it, and the ghost servant only got some finished products, semi-finished products and raw materials produced by the pharmaceutical factory in the end.
After laboratory tests, the finished product can indeed effectively inhibit the growth of some cancer cells, and long-term injection can effectively control the disease, but there is no way to cure it. Strangely, the raw material can be completely extracted from the semi-finished product, but between the semi-finished product and the finished product, there is a very critical ingredient missing, and this ingredient is precisely the key component of the drug.
On the surface, there seems to be nothing wrong with the drug itself.
However, both Long Yan and Qian Yao felt that things were strange - the research institute and the pharmaceutical company must be inseparable from Shentu, and with Shentu's person, can he be so kind to benefit the majority of terminally ill patients? It's impossible to think about.
Shentu must have a plan!
Before Long Yan could figure out Shen Tu's intentions, Ah Jin reappeared, and Ghost Firefly also returned to Qian Yao's body.
In just five days, Ah Jin seemed to have healed, his hair had turned black, his wrinkles had decreased, and the decaying aura of his body had disappeared cleanly.
In just a few days, Ah Jin has recovered to such an extent, and in the past few days when Ah Jin disappeared, could it be that he went to see Shen Tu?
Qian Yao contacted the two little ghosts through the secret method taught to him by Dong Sheng, and the information fed back by the little ghosts confirmed his and Long Yan's guesses, and at the same time, they also provided a very useful clue - that very terrible person, his whole body was overflowing with life, but under the strong anger, they still smelled a trace of rancid stench and death.
Could it be that Shentu is approaching?
Qian Yao wanted to ask for more detailed information from the ghost descendant, but the ghost descended like a stone in the sea, and there was no response.
Qian Yao had no choice but to continue to drive the ghost firefly and stare at Ah Jin secretly. Unlike the deep and simple residence some time ago, Ah Jin began to go in and out of his residence frequently. But I don't know what's going on, every time Ah Jin goes out, Ghost Hotaru either loses or loses contact with Qian Yao, and Ah Jin probably also has an invisibility charm in his hand, and traffic monitoring can't catch his whereabouts at all.
And at the beginning, the girl in red who made Qian Yao's eyes hurt for several days at a glance never appeared again.
Just when their investigation was at a bottleneck, they suddenly received news that there were L virus infected people in many places in China, and the vaccine used earlier in Tongcheng had no effect, and the number of infected people was surging. At the same time, Zheng held a press conference to hype up the new anti-cancer drug through media and advertising, and the drug entered the market through normal channels. Due to the limited quantity of the first batch of medicines, only a few tertiary hospitals and high-end private hospitals in the imperial capital were supplied.
The effect of the drug is better than Zheng's advertisement, many patients, especially terminally ill patients, after using the drug, both the cancer pain and the spread of cancer cells have been well controlled, for a time, many patients and their families are trying to buy new drugs through various channels. Due to the limited number of new drugs on the market, prices quickly soared to incredible levels, but even this did not discourage them from seeking drugs.
Ordinary people can only buy high-priced medicines from hospitals or scalpers, and the rich and powerful people try their best to get in touch with the Zheng family and take medicine directly from the Zheng family.
However, in just ten days, Zheng's family broke free from the scandal a few years ago, and the shares of listed companies under his name began to grow to varying degrees.
Long Yan and Qian Yaoming knew that there might be problems with the new drugs, but at present, due to the resurgence of the L virus, the General Office of Special Investigation could not spare extra manpower to take care of the new drugs.
"You contact Dongsheng and tell him everything that has happened recently." Long Yan said to Qian Yao.
"Okay."
Qian Yao wrote down the recent events, including his and Long Yan's speculations, to an email address that Dong Sheng left for him before leaving, and the next day, he printed out the contents of the email and handed it to Zheng Yunyao.
After reading the content of the email at a glance, Zheng Yunyao snorted coldly: "Finally, the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, you reply to Qian Yao and tell him to let them stabilize first, and there must be something wrong with the Zheng family's new medicine, and you must not relax your vigilance." ”
"Okay."
As for the email asking them when they would go back, Zheng Yunyao didn't mention it, and he didn't ask at night.
After leaving at night, Ah Huang jumped on the table in front of Zheng Yunyao and said worriedly: "The winter cub has been in retreat for so many days and has not moved, will something happen?" ”
Since that day Dongsheng said that he would find a way to get out of the dragon's heart at the bottom of the sea, he began to retreat, and it has been more than half a month, and he doesn't eat or drink every day, if it weren't for the fact that there was often a little noise in the house, it would have to wonder if the ghost cub was already hungry and fainted inside.
Zheng Yunyao took a handful of the hair on Ah Huang's head and said, "No." Having said that, the worry in Zheng Yunyao's eyes was no less than that of Ah Huang.
Before Zheng Yunyao's words fell, the door of Dongsheng's retreat room creaked open, Ah Huang jumped up, and lightning pounced, "Winter cub, you can be counted as ......" Ah Huang's voice was suffocated, and then he screamed, turned around and ran out, jumped behind the sofa in the living room with a smoke, and said in a trembling voice: "Lao Zheng, don't go over, the situation of the winter cub is not right!" ”
Before Zheng Yunyao could react, a humanoid black shadow suddenly floated in front of him, and at the same time, a thin layer of frost rose in the room at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if the cold and terrifying coercion from hell were constantly overflowing from the black shadow.
Zheng Yunyao was slightly in a trance, a touch of scarlet appeared in the depths of his pupils, and there seemed to be a picture flashing in his mind, so fast that he couldn't grasp it at all. Subconsciously, he stretched out his hand and gently stroked the black shadow's 'face', the cold coming from the palm of his hand almost froze his soul, but he didn't care at all, on the contrary, his heart kept pouring out joy that even he couldn't say, and he couldn't help blurting out: "It's good to see you again." ”
The black shadow moved slightly to the side at the moment when Zheng Yunyao stretched out his hand, but when Zheng Yunyao's hand really touched its 'face', there was no pain as the black shadow imagined, but a hot warm touch, the black shadow seemed to like this warm feeling, and involuntarily rubbed a few times in his palm.
Zheng Yunyao not only felt that Dongsheng's current situation was very strange, on the contrary, it was clear that there was extreme coldness coming from the palm of his hand, but he had a feeling that his heart was about to melt, and there was a strange sweetness that he couldn't describe at all.
For a moment, Zheng Yunyao felt as if he had become two people.
Ah Huang stiffened his tail, cautiously walked out from behind the sofa, and meowed: "Lao Zheng, don't get tired of it, the current state of the winter cub is very dangerous, we must find a way to get him back into his body!" ”
The black shadow tilted his head slightly, and looked at Ah Huang directly, Ah Huang was so frightened that his hair exploded, and he almost couldn't help but turn around and run.
Zheng Yunyao stretched out his other hand, held the black shadow's chin, let it 'look' at him, and said softly: "Dongsheng, you should go back." ”
The black shadow stood willfully in place, his face without facial features rubbing in Zheng Yunyao's palm, inexplicably, Zheng Yunyao actually felt that the black shadow seemed to be a little aggrieved.
"Good."
The shadow still seemed reluctant, standing still and refusing to move.
"I sent a lot of seafood over just now, do you want to eat seafood barbecue?"
"Lao Zheng, don't talk about it, the winter cub can't hear it at all now......"
However, the slap in the face came too quickly, and the black shadow hesitated for a moment, and actually nodded.
It nodded!
Ah Huang was so shocked that his eyes were about to fall out, only to hear Zheng Yunyao continue: "But you are like this now, you shouldn't be able to eat barbecue, right?" After speaking, there was an aggrieved emotion in the palm of his hand again.
"Good, go back quickly, we'll go bake seafood when we wake up."
The black shadow finally rubbed twice in his palm, and disappeared into the living room in an instant.
"I'll go, that's okay?!" Thinking back then, when the winter cub was out of his body for the first time uncontrollably, the old immortal almost put his old life on the line, so that he finally let his soul return to the body, Lao Zheng said a few words, and the ghost cub went back obediently by himself, just thinking about Ah Huang couldn't help pinching a handful of sad tears for the old immortal.
This little conscienceless ghost cub is raised for nothing!
When Ah Huangwu was indignant, in the room, Dongsheng suddenly opened his eyes.
The pitch-black pupils covered the entire eye socket, and there was no whites of the eyes. He slowly let go of his fist, and in the palm of his hand were two 'live' spirit fish.
