Chapter 1130: Chapter 1130
"Hehe, Xiaoli is such a delightful character."
Xia Wei’er clutched Tang Ming’s arm, teasing with a smile.
"I think she’s a witch who fears nothing but chaos."
Tang Ming sneered, pulling Xia Wei’er closer by the shoulder: "Wei’er is better, trusting me completely and knowing I’m not the kind of scoundrel who takes advantage of women."
"You don’t even take advantage of me, your girlfriend, so how could you even think of touching someone else?"
Xia Wei’er, her face flushed, glanced shyly at Tang Ming and quickly lowered her head.
Hearing this, Tang Ming felt a surge of desire, glanced upstairs, and whispered: "It’s not that I don’t want to, but I’m just unlucky with you."
"You’re annoying, I never said you couldn’t."
Xia Wei’er murmured softly, her head down.
"Then let me kiss you to make up for earlier today."
Tang Ming eagerly leaned in towards Xia Wei’er.
Xia Wei’er’s heart raced, but she didn’t resist; she gently closed her eyes, ready to be kissed.
Seeing Xia Wei’er in such a breathless, delicate manner, Tang Ming could no longer control himself...
Just as Tang Ming was about to make his move, footsteps echoed from upstairs.
Tang Ming and Xia Wei’er, startled like rabbits, quickly separated and sat upright.
"Wei’er, come upstairs quickly. Meng Meng and I don’t want you to be bullied at home by the big bad wolf."
Li Xiaoli poked her head out, calling seriously.
"I’m coming, I’m coming."
Xia Wei’er glanced at Tang Ming, quickly stood up, and headed upstairs.
Tang Ming was frustrated; every time he tried to do something with Xia Wei’er, someone would interrupt, making getting intimate as challenging as seeking scriptures in the Western Heaven.
As Xia Wei’er was called upstairs, Tang Ming returned to his room alone in resignation.
Once inside, he immediately sat down cross-legged in meditation.
Though he had entrusted Sun Doctor with investigating the sour plum soup issue, he still needed to use his Poison Skill to explore his internal state to prepare for future encounters with such substances.
Tang Ming was anxious for Sun Doctor to study this unknown substance, partly out of sheer curiosity, especially since it could both baffle him and enhance his Cultivation. He had to get to the bottom of it.
Another crucial reason was his certainty that the student poisoning incident was manipulated by someone behind the scenes. Regular sour plum soup couldn’t have such an awful unknown substance.
Though they had temporarily resolved the students’ comas, they hadn’t caught the culprit, which meant the threat still loomed, potentially harming countless others.
Therefore, they had to quickly develop an antidote for this substance as a precaution.
Now that Honghong was already unconscious, he might not be able to save others like Liu Mengting if they were poisoned again.
Late at night, the lights in Tian’an Pharmaceutical Company’s research lab were still on.
Tian’an Pharmaceutical Company was a branch of An’s Pharmaceutical Group from Wubei City located in Songlan City. Before Tangming Group’s rise, Tian’an was the only company capable of competing with the Qin Family in the pharmaceutical industry, thanks to being an An Family business and having Divine Doctor An as its figurehead.
Unfortunately, after Tangming Group’s rise, Tian’an’s decline was inevitable.
Moreover, the An Family didn’t want to provoke Tang Ming’s displeasure, so they neglected to develop the company further, leaving it to An Sheng to manage it in Songlan City.
An Sheng followed Nangong Tianyue, standing in the lab conducting drug research. Both wore heavy protective gear, alongside several workers, all marked with the Ming Group emblem.
No one would suspect that a small company abandoned by the An Family concealed a high-cost experimental base funded by the Ming Group.
"Young master, this is the situation."
An Sheng reported behind Nangong Tianyue with resignation: "It’s not that I didn’t work hard, but Tang Ming’s Medical Skill is so legendary that he could even neutralize SNB0."
"Hmph, although I already overestimated Tang Ming’s Medical Skill, I didn’t expect him to be this formidable."
Nangong Tianyue snorted without turning, a storm of anger brewing in his heart.
After crossing paths with Tang Xin in the Imperial City, he didn’t believe Tang Ming could possess Medical Skill superior to Tang Xin’s.
But after this encounter, he had to admit that Tang Ming’s Medical Skill was indeed on par with Tang Xin’s. Yet he wasn’t discouraged because his true tactics had just begun.
"So, what do we do now? We’ve completed all SNB0’s physical research; we only need live experiments for the final synthesis."
An Sheng worriedly asked Nangong Tianyue, feeling troubled: "Originally, in my hospital role, I could monitor students’ clinical reactions. But now... without live experiment subjects, we must find another way."
"With so many people in Songlan City, why worry about a lack of test subjects?"
Nangong Tianyue dismissed the notion, "Go back to the hospital and wait. I’ve arranged for poisons to be placed elsewhere; by tomorrow, a batch of live subjects will arrive."
An Sheng took a sharp intake of breath, knowing the implications of Nangong Tianyue’s words.
Before this project succeeds, anyone involved in the live experiments is virtually doomed. If SNB0 infects many, it means many will die from poisoning.
"Young master, how many have you involved this time? If the scale grows too large, it will trigger unnecessary panic."
An Sheng couldn’t help but caution him. When a dozen students were poisoned, Old Master An nearly scolded him to death. If it leads to widespread poisoning, Old Master An would lose his temper.
"Don’t worry, can’t Tang Ming save people? I want to see how he does it."
Nangong Tianyue sneered, "It’s your fault for failing to find out how he cured those students, forcing me to take this desperate measure."
An Sheng was left speechless and sighed: "I’ll go rest, prepare for tomorrow’s reception of live lab subjects at the hospital."
After An Sheng left, Nangong Tianyue stared at the two test tubes filled with red liquid on the lab table, wearing a cruel smile.
"Tang Ming, Tang Xin, aren’t you both so amazing? This time, I want to see how you’ll face me."
Initially, he planned just a few test subjects for research, but Tang Ming saved those poisoned students.
This ignited his competitive spirit; if he couldn’t outdo the Tang brothers’ Medical Skill, he would create a Poison that even they couldn’t combat.
