I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

"Why are you all staring at me like that? Am I wrong?"

"Removing the problematic gene sequence is unrealistic, but silencing it and preventing its expression is still feasible, right?"

"Or make it unreadable and untranslatable; even if it exists indefinitely, it's essentially useless."

Qin Ge expressed his thoughts, which drew strange looks from Lin Yao and the other two.

Yu Xiangmin and Sun Shizheng both shook their heads secretly, feeling that they shouldn't have such high expectations of Qin Ge.

Yu Xiangmin has been researching for decades without much success, so expecting Qin Ge to come up with a solution in a short time is really asking too much of him!

Lin Yao's lips twitched a few times, then she explained, "The teacher tried this approach, but it turns out it's much more difficult!"

"The teacher tried many methods, but was unable to accurately pinpoint the problematic gene sequence."

"If we indiscriminately silence genes, almost none of them will be expressed, and the mice will only die faster!"

"I have an idea that we might be able to try." Qin Ge pondered for a moment and continued, "There is a record in ancient medical books about a disease called muscle contracture or muscular atrophy, which should be ALS."

"This disease is caused by a leak in the vital energy that governs life activities."

"Ancient medicine could not explain the pathology of ALS from a microscopic perspective, but it did record methods of treatment!"

"I have a recipe here, would you like to try it?"

Lin Yao raised her eyebrows. "Are you serious?"

"Isn't it a bit of a fantasy to treat ALS using traditional Chinese medicine methods, and just a prescription at that?"

Qin Ge laughed and said, "Let's give it a try, what if it works?"

"Are you reluctant to part with those lab mice?"

After Lin Yao brought over paper and pen, Qin Ge immediately began writing the prescription.

Although Yu Xiangmin and Sun Shizheng also felt that it was unrealistic to treat ALS with just one prescription, they still curiously came over to watch.

With just a glance, the two of them showed surprise.

A typical Chinese medicine prescription simply includes the name of the medicine, its dosage, and the method of preparation. However, the prescription Qin Ge is writing now specifies the year each medicine was required to be produced.

Three years, five years, ten years, each is different. The most outrageous thing is that it contains precious medicinal materials such as wild ginseng that is a hundred years old and dendrobium that is a thousand years old. These are things that can only be found by chance!

Qin Ge wrote three full pages before stopping. "Remember, all the dosages of the medicine must be precise, without the slightest error."

"Moreover, all the medicines must be naturally grown, that is, wild; cultivated or farmed ones are not acceptable."

"Non-wild medicinal herbs have poorer medicinal effects, which means that the amount used is reduced, thus affecting the overall proportion of the prescription."

Seeing how seriously Qin Ge spoke, Lin Yao and the others, who had initially held little hope, began to have a glimmer of expectation again.

Yu Xiangmin has studied for so many years and tried all sorts of methods countless times, but nothing compares to Qin Ge's experience this time.

But collecting all the ingredients listed in Qin Ge's prescription is no easy task!

......

Guo Wenzhou hadn't figured out a solution yet when he received a lot more phone calls.

During one particular period, almost all the calls came from students who had been taught by Yu Xiangmin. In addition to informing Guo Wenzhou that he would not be attending the school anniversary celebration, they also questioned him about the three students who had been expelled from the medical department.

Yu Xiangmin's students are the elite of the elite, and some of them wield far more power than Guo Wenzhou.

Guo Wenzhou was under immense pressure from such questioning, and he knew that Yu Xiangmin must have intervened.

It's really strange. How could Lin Yao, a little girl, persuade Yu Xiangmin to do something like this?

Yu Xiangmin has focused on scientific research all these years and has never interfered with these trivial matters!

After much deliberation, Guo Wenzhou decided to meet with Qin Ge first.

Once it's confirmed that Qin Ge is the one who saved Xia Siyuan, we'll try to coax him and get him to help persuade the Xia family.

If Xia Siyuan agrees to attend the school anniversary opening ceremony tomorrow, then the Shen family will likely come as well.

If the Xia and Shen families agree to come, things will be much easier. Those who followed suit will change their minds out of consideration for the two families.

Just as he picked up his phone to call Qin Ge, an anonymous email notification popped up.

Guo Wenzhou habitually swiped it away as spam, but his finger paused slightly halfway through the swipe when he saw Zhou Xing's name.

"Zhou Xing, you bastard!"

After reading the email, Guo Wenzhou grabbed a pen holder from the table and threw it at Zhou Xing.

"Principal, what are you doing?" Zhou Xing asked, completely bewildered.

"What are you doing?" Guo Wenzhou pointed his phone at Zhou Xing. "Look at the mess you've made!"

The email he received was an anonymous tip-off, and the person who tipped him off was Zhou Xing.

The above lists all the despicable things Zhou Xing has done in recent years by abusing his position, detailing exactly when he received money from whom and what he helped with.

Guo Wenzhou had always known that Zhou Xing was definitely not clean, but he never expected that Zhou Xing would be so shameless.

He's done every bad thing imaginable over the years.

He's even capable of threatening female students who fail his courses to sleep with him and then helping them change their grades!

"Slander! This is slander!" Zhou Xing went berserk on the spot after reading the email, his mind racing with thoughts of fireworks.

He did those things so discreetly that no one else should know about them except him and the person involved. How did the person who sent this email find out?

And who is opposing him and collecting evidence against him?

"Brother Wenzhou, you can't just abandon me!"

"Now you're the only one who can give me a hand!"

Zhou Xing pleaded with Guo Wenzhou, looking pitiful.

"Didn't you say that was a slander against you?" Guo Wenzhou sneered. "You've done so many good deeds, and yet someone has used something against you. How am I supposed to help you?"

After a moment's thought, Zhou Xing had an idea. "I'll find the person who sent the email to report it. As long as you pretend you know nothing, Brother Wenzhou, I'll take care of that person."

"I happen to have a friend who's a hacker; it shouldn't be difficult for him to check the IP address that sent the email!"

Guo Wenzhou was amused and exasperated. "Zhou Xing, you're really something!"

"Your abilities truly exceed my expectations. You haven't harmed me all these years; shouldn't I thank you?"

Zhou Xing smiled awkwardly, then made a phone call.

A few minutes later, he received a reply text message that made his eyes widen: "The Academic Affairs Office?!"

After making two more phone calls to confirm, Zhou Xing was certain that the email sent to Guo Wenzhou did indeed originate from the Academic Affairs Office of Dongda University.

The computer that sent the email belonged to Tang Yurou!

Zhou Xing couldn't figure it out. After reading the email, his first thought was that it might be related to Qin Ge.

Why Tang Yurou?

Qin Ge got full marks in all nine subjects, and the person who reported the situation to him was none other than Tang Yurou!

Zhou Xing decided to fire Qin Ge directly after receiving feedback from Tang Yurou.
