Chapter 298: 113 Mysterious Miss Bai_3
Before heading to Backter Street, Assistant Xu had been only half-convinced, but now his trust in Bai Lian was absolute.
Ji Mulan was somewhat stunned, always feeling that Assistant Xu’s attitude towards Bai Lian had changed again. She couldn’t help but look towards Bai Lian.
Bai Lian ignored her, passing by to find Dr. Lance.
“Does MTR have an antidote for CN?” she asked.
Dr. Lance was leisurely flipping through a medical book from Xiangcheng Hospital. Hearing Bai Lian’s voice, he finally looked up and spoke in very fluent English, “Yes, I have already had someone call it back.”
One spoke English, the other Chinese.
And yet there was no barrier in their communication.
Ji Mulan watched Bai Lian, recalling that Bai Lian had never passed an English test.
Could she understand what Dr. Lance was saying?

In the meantime,
Assistant Xu’s cell phone rang once.
It was from Xu Wenyao.
Assistant Xu hurriedly stepped outside the ward to answer, speaking with great respect, “Young Master.”
“I contacted Jiangjing Hospital,” the voice over the phone, Xu Wenyao, was too distracted to focus on studying. He was standing in the biting cold wind, holding car keys and walking outside, “There is a department willing to research it. Where are you now?”
Bai Lian took Assistant Xu and Dr. Li away so quickly that the ensuing events were too fantastical.
Assistant Xu had only just recovered his senses. He glanced at Bai Lian speaking with Dr. Lance inside the room, then paused, “Young Master, I think we might not need to return to Jiangjing after all.”
“What?” On the phone, Xu Wenyao stopped in his tracks.
Given the overly fantastical description of “neurotoxin” by his classmate, he had imagined countless possibilities.
“My father, he…”
“No,” Assistant Xu hurried to explain, his expression somewhat complex, “We just got our hands on the CN nerve agent, and we’ve confirmed the source of Xu En’s poisoning.”
He recounted the events from beginning to end.
“Bai Lian?” This was the first time Xu Wenyao had heard this name, and he was surprised, “Aunt Ji’s daughter?”
Xu Wenyao was focused on scientific research, not very familiar with Backter Street.
“Assistant Xu, you need to ensure my father will be better off staying in Xiangcheng.” Since Xu En’s life was at stake, Xu Wenyao dared not take it lightly.
The pressure on Assistant Xu was also great.
But he was willing to believe what he had seen.
“Okay,” upon hearing Assistant Xu’s assurance, Xu Wenyao slowly said, “I will come to Xiangcheng right away.”

The following day.
Xiangcheng No. 1 High School had science exams in the morning and was off in the afternoon.
The difficulty level of the science comprehensive test wasn’t high. Bai Lian completed all the questions she could, and with half an hour remaining before the answer sheets were due, she handed in hers and left.
