After half an hour had pa.s.sed, Jing Huaduo came out with the results and handed them to Xu Xiyan.
“There’s a huge amount of quinidine and tubocurarine chloride in the medicine,” Jing Huaduo said.
“Isn’t quinidine used to cure heart attacks?” Xu Xiyan asked.
“Yes, the quinidine is used in curing atrial premature beats, atrial fibrillation, paroxysmal SVT and more, while the tubocurarine chloride is a neuromuscular blocking drug that can prevent muscle atrophy. But the side-effect of using quinidine is myasthenia gravis. If you mix these two together, even a normal person could become crippled if they are exposed to it long enough.”
Jing Huaduo finished explaining, and his face darkened.
“Yanyan, where did you get this from?” he asked.
“Actually, grandpa, this is Huo Yunshen’s medicine,” Xu Xiyan explained. “I’m lucky to have you examining this before having him take it, or else he would have been in huge trouble.”
“Is someone trying to hurt this kid from the Huo family?” Jing Huaduo asked in surprise.
“Wow! Grandpa! You’re really smart!” Xu Xiyan smiled and grabbed her grandfather’s hand. “You’re like the reincarnation of Sherlock Holmes! There’s nothing that can escape your eyes.”
Jing Huaduo was lost in thought. Even if he and Huo Xun were rivals, Huo Yunshen was still Yun Meng’s grandson.
Even if Yun Meng had been pa.s.sed for several years, there was no way that Jing Huaduo was gonna sit still and let someone hurt Huo Yunshen.
“How about this,” Jing Huaduo said, grabbing Xu Xiyan’s hand. “I’ll give you a few of my homemade Bone Strengthening Pills and let him take them periodically. At least it’s better than the poison you’re holding.”
“Wow, thank you, grandpa! Now, you’re like the reincarnation of Jesus!” Xu Xiyan clapped.
Xu Xiyan definitely knew of the Bone Strengthening Pills made from Jing family’s secret recipe. Her grandfather would only make 100 bottles each year and would only sell them to old customers.
It was something that money couldn’t buy.
Xu Xiyan had always wanted to get some for Huo Yunshen, but with how her grandfather hated the Huo family, she knew she had no chance. That was why she thought of this plan and got her grandfather to give Huo Yunshen some by his own will.
“Stop with the flattery!’ Jing Huaduo scolded, handing her a few bottles of pills. “Remember, you can work by his side but never fall for him, do you hear me?”
“Yes, sir!” Xu Xiyan saluted, and it made Jing Huaduo crack up.
“All right, hurry up and go do your stuff,” Jing Huaduo said.
“Okay, goodbye, grandpa,” Xu Xiyan said and left.
But after she ran a few steps, Jing Huaduo called out to her.
“Hey, where’s Ying Bao? Is she not with you?” Jing Huaduo asked.
“Huh? Oh! She’s with Orange,” Xu Xiyan lied. If her grandfather knew that Ying Bao was with Huo Yunshen, he’d definitely explode.
“I see, all right then. Be careful on your way back,” Jing Huaduo said.
“All right.”
Xu Xiyan left his grandfather’s clinic and drove back to the set.
…
A van stopped in front of the set of “Root of Evil.” A woman wearing a black dress and a jacket over her shoulder could be seen sitting inside it. She was wearing sungla.s.ses, and 10 centimeter high heels on her feet. She got out of the van with the help of her a.s.sistant.
The crew noticed that it was Huang Yanran and quickly greeted her.
Huang Yanran returned the greeting with a fake smile. Her left wrist, covered in bandages, could barely be seen under the jacket.
