Chapter 74 Kindness Will Not Be Rewarded, Jian Ning

Xiao Heqi sat down on the sofa as she instructed.

Jian Ning carried a stainless steel basin over, placed it on the coffee table, and then sat on a futon, looking at Xiao Heqi across from her.

Xiao Heqi looked down at the stainless steel basin, which was filled with small, transparent bottles, all of which contained black pills.

He inexplicably became a little nervous.

"Jian Ning, I'll take these medications only after the medical team has reviewed them..."

Jian Ning ignored him completely, handed him a glass of water, then picked out a bottle from the stainless steel basin, looked at the label, and saw that this one had the lowest potency.

She poured out one pill and handed it over.

"Don't worry, it'll be absolutely fine."

She is now a super combination of alchemy, medicine, and medicine cultivation.

Even a minor case of poisoning is not so easy to handle.

Xiao Heqi is usually a very principled person.

After a night of nightmares, and with today being the anniversary of my mother's death, I felt rather listless. But now, feeling the presence of a living person beside me, my chaotic emotions actually calmed down.

He lowered his eyes, his defenses relaxed, and he actually had some faith in the ability of Dr. Jian, who couldn't even feel his pulse, to clearly describe his symptoms.

Anyway, he won't live much longer, so let's give it a try.

So he took the medicine, drank some water, and swallowed it.

Jian Ning herself was a little surprised that Xiao Heqi, who had such a sharp tongue, was obedient today!
Then she glanced at the task progress, which had changed from "Heal Xiao Heqi 0.001%" to "Heal Xiao Heqi 0.01%".

This is a qualitative change in quantity.

Jian Ning's eyes lit up, and a surge of joy, like a novice medical practitioner, welled up in her heart. The medicine she had concocted could really cure Xiao Heqi!
She put down the medicine bottle in her hand and then noted down 0.001 → 0.01.

These medications should be taken no more than three times a day.

She could confidently conduct three experiments without fear of problems.

This time, Jian Ning chose a stronger medicine and poured it out to hand to Xiao Heqi.

After Xiao Heqi ate it, Jian Ning glanced at the mission progress and saw it change from "Healing Xiao Heqi 0.01%" to "Healing Xiao Heqi 0.02%".

She decisively eliminated the first drug, as the one in her hand was clearly better, and noted it down.

Then, she found another bottle, the one she was most confident in.

These pills are made entirely based on the principles of detoxification, lung protection, and relaxation.

After Xiao Heqi ate it, the mission progress jumped from 0.02% to 2.02%!

Jian Ning tightened her grip on the medicine bottle and said with certainty, "This is it! I believe it won't be long before the toxins in your body are completely cleared."

Xiao Heqi looked at the sparkling light in her eyes and wanted to tease her: "Dr. Jian, how long is 'not long'?"

"That's hard to say." Jian Ning got up, took a small yellow duck-shaped cloth bag, and put all the bottles of the last medicine into the bag. "Take it with you later, one pill in the morning, one pill at noon, and one pill at night. By the way, if you're worried, you can have your medical team test it now."

Xiao Heqi looked at her leisurely: "How did you know that this last bottle of medicine was the most effective for me?"

Jian Ning said directly, "You have more than just this one question to ask."

She didn't intend to answer. She simply avoided the question.

"This medicine is enough for you for a week. If you find it helpful, come back to me next time."

Next time, it will be appropriate to bring up Su Shijian's matter.

Looking at her, who seemed to be calculating in her mind but holding back her words, Xiao Heqi's dark emotions dissipated further. He asked, "Speak, what do you want to ask of me?"

Jian Ning: "I didn't."

Xiao Heqi uttered two words: "Stop pretending."

Jian Ning: "..."

Xiao Heqi: "I know this medicine is effective. You don't need to keep me in suspense. At least I'm still interested in hearing about it now."

He knew better than anyone whether the medicine was effective. Having been sick for a long time, he had become an expert. After taking a few pills, the pain in his body was significantly relieved, the obstruction in his breathing was also reduced, and he felt much more comfortable overall.

Jian Ning asked, "Do you have enough time today?"

Xiao Heqi rubbed his fingers together. Everyone around him knew that today was a taboo day for him, and no one would disturb him, not even Xu Mingtang who was by his side, except for Jian Ning.

She knew nothing about it.

He leaned back on the sofa, concealing the sadness welling up in his eyes, and said with a hint of helplessness, "Too much."

"Then wait for me a moment." Jian Ning, wearing slippers, went upstairs with a thud, and soon came back downstairs with something in her hands.

She placed something that looked like a compilation book on the coffee table and said, "Take a look."

Xiao Heqi opened it and saw some experimental data.

"I don't have the patience to finish reading it, so keep talking."

Jian Ning leaned over and began to explain.

"These were obtained from Su Shih-chien; they are all experiments he recorded himself."

"Look at the research progress on anti-cancer traditional Chinese medicine, the research on the anti-tumor mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine, and the clinical application of anti-cancer traditional Chinese medicine. These data and experiments are fine, but look at what comes next..."

Jian Ning quickly flipped through a few pages and pointed out some of Su Shijian's annotations to Xiao Heqi.

Xiao Heqi's eyes narrowed.

The students' names were circled in red pen, with notes next to them indicating what illness they had, what their symptoms were, and how little effect drug treatment had.

On the road to academia, countless vibrant lives become stepping stones for their pursuit of fame and fortune.

Jian Ning said, "I found out that a student came forward to expose him, but the news was quickly suppressed. It's probably because they were powerless to fight back, and now there's almost no voice on the internet."

Xiao Heqi's eyes narrowed. He had long witnessed the wickedness of human nature and had seen all sorts of demons and monsters. His moral threshold had become extremely low.

Those in positions of power always look down on others with disdain, as if nothing matters to them as long as the knife doesn't fall on them.

When you do something, you should pay a price and then seek an equal return.

Xiao Heqi looked at Jian Ning, whose eyes held pity, urgency, and an almost overflowing sense of moral justice.

"You want me to help you?"

Jian Ning nodded and tentatively asked, "If it's possible?"

Xiao Heqi closed the booklet and recalled what his mother had said many years ago. Back then, his mother saw that woman being harassed in a restaurant and felt sorry for her, so she helped her out, and the two of them grew closer afterward.

My mother always said that if she had known it was a premeditated approach, she wouldn't have made a move.

Xiao Heqi said coldly, "Kindness will not be rewarded, Jian Ning."

He called her by her full name, Jian Ning.

Jian Ning lowered her eyes, her mind filled with names circled in red pen, her gaze resolute: "I've never been a good person; eighty percent of my thoughts are for myself. Su Shijian has his eye on Huayue Manor, but I will never give it up! He's a pest, and I'm trying to get rid of him, but that just happens to put me on the side of justice. How can that be considered kindness?"

Xiao Heqi looked at her and said, "You speak with great confidence, which means you actually have a foolproof plan. And I am just one of your options."

Since she had already been frank and the other party had seen through her, Jian Ning decided to lay her cards on the table.

"Yes, I have the leverage to bring him down. But if you help me, I'll have another option."

Xiao Heqi understood that Jian Ning wouldn't reveal what the bargaining chip was, and he wisely refrained from asking further, only saying, "I will suspend all investments in their team."

Jian Ning understood what he meant.

Suspending the investment was, for Xiao Heqi, a timely way to cut his losses. But he wouldn't help Jian Ning with her next move.

That's enough for Jian Ning.

She said, "Thank you."

Xiao Heqi gave her a deep look. "I should be thanking you, Dr. Jian."
