Chapter 543 Shifting the Blame
The next two days were filled with joy in Qingshui Village.
Zhou Shanshan had a general understanding of the protein structure of this toxin. Although she hadn't yet developed a specific antidote, she could use some immunoglobulins to alleviate the patients' mental conditions by targeting the toxin.
The hope of treatment for over a dozen mentally ill patients in Qingshui Village brought continuous banquets for Chen Yang and Zhou Shanshan.
As for Wang Zhiqiang and Li Gang, their whereabouts remained unknown, and the discovery of Ah Niu's corpse outside the village made everything even more mysterious.
The police took over the case. Subsequently, it was discovered that Professor Wang was not actually a professor at Jinling University, and Li Gang was the one who contacted Professor Wang. Therefore, both were suspects.
Their sudden disappearance led to widespread speculation.
While Qingshui Village celebrated, the entire Changbai Mountain region was in turmoil.
The Heavenly Doctor Hall systematically eliminated all members of various organizations who had come to the Changbai Mountain region in search of treasures.
Meanwhile, in the valley far from Qingshui Village, excavators were continuously at work.
Before long, the treasury was opened. Crates of experimental data, gold, jewelry, and even ammunition and weapons were transported into containers. Powerful helicopters lifted the containers directly from the mountains and flew them to the riverside, where they were loaded onto a ship. After two days and two nights, the underground base was emptied. The ship, trailing black smoke, left the Yalu River and sailed along the coast towards Modu.
The three major dark organizations in the Changbai Mountain region were wiped out.
At this point, the members of the dark organizations heard that Wang Zhiqiang had found the underground base and had transported away all the treasures from it.
Even Wang Zhiqiang's portrait and his past identity were exposed.
Numerous members of the dark organizations began to track Wang Zhiqiang.
The trail was completely diverted, and no one paid any further attention to Zhou Shanshan and Chen Yang's medical team.
Modu First Martial Arts School.
Lin Sangeng organized his men to transport the containers, crate by crate, into the warehouse of his martial arts school. As the head of the First Martial Arts School, Lin Sangeng held significant sway in Modu, and these containers were easily handled by him.
More importantly, Lin Sangeng now fully understood Chen Yang's identity. The thought of having had dealings with the leader of the Heavenly Doctor Hall filled him with a sense of pride. He also understood that his current attainment of the Grandmaster realm was entirely thanks to Chen Yang.
Lin Sangeng sat on the sofa, watching a soap opera, a smile playing on his lips.
At this moment, a beautiful girl skipped out, it was Lin Xichen.
Lin Xichen approached and began to massage Lin Sangeng's shoulders, asking, "Daddy, why are you smiling so happily? You've been beaming these past two days, are you perhaps looking for a stepmother for me?"
Lin Sangeng burst into laughter at her words. Since their return from the ship last time, the father and daughter's relationship had significantly improved, and this was the filial piety Lin Sangeng had always longed for. Previously, his daughter had always harbored resentment towards him, believing he had caused her mother's death. With Chen Yang's help, his daughter had finally acknowledged him as her father from the bottom of her heart.
Lin Sangeng replied, "It's not that I'm looking for a stepmother for you, it's that that kid Chen Yang has exceeded my expectations. He's stored a batch of goods at our martial arts school recently, and only then did I realize his identity is extraordinary!"
Upon hearing Chen Yang's name, Lin Xichen's eyes lit up. She immediately sat down on the sofa and asked Lin Sangeng, "Daddy, what is Chen Yang's identity?"
Lin Sangeng paused, shook his head, and chuckled, "I can't tell you that."
Lin Xichen pouted and murmured, "I don't care to know. But since he's storing his things with us, why didn't he come to us?"
"This guy hasn't even called me since he returned, as if he's completely forgotten about me. Hmph, it's outrageous."
Lin Sangeng glanced at his daughter and smiled, shaking his head. After all, in Lin Sangeng's heart, his precious daughter was the loveliest girl in the world. No man was good enough for her. It was only with Chen Yang that, at this moment, Lin Sangeng felt his daughter was perhaps not quite good enough for him!
Lin Xichen bit her lip and checked the time, saying, "If he doesn't call me soon, I'll go to Qingzhou to find him in a few days, or I'll just join their Yangyangyang Company. Since Sister Yueyu can work at the company, I'm sure I can too."
Lin Sangeng couldn't help but laugh heartily.
Chen Yang and Zhou Shanshan had already left Qingshui Village. After arriving at Changbai Mountain Airport, Lin Shanshan flew to Hanwu City, while Chen Yang flew directly to Qingzhou City.
Upon returning to Qingzhou City, Chen Yang couldn't wait any longer and quickly headed back to his villa.
Only Su Ya was home, busy in the kitchen wearing a nightgown.
Chen Yang walked in, saw Su Ya, and greeted her, asking, "It's so late, hasn't Liu Ran finished work yet?"
Seeing Chen Yang return, Su Ya pouted and said, "You rascal, going to the Northeast to have fun alone for so many days, and you still care about Liu Ran!"
Su Ya continued, "Liu Ran is currently following up on two projects and is in negotiations with manufacturers. She should be home in about an hour. I'll prepare dinner for her first."
Chen Yang nodded and said, "Thank you, Senior Sister Su Ya. I'm going to my bedroom. Please don't disturb me in the bedroom."
After speaking, Chen Yang headed straight to his bedroom.
Su Ya snorted and watched Chen Yang's retreating back, muttering, "This guy is so mysterious, I'll uncover your secrets one day."
Chen Yang entered his bedroom and, unable to wait any longer, took out the Mother Cauldron. The Mother Cauldron had previously absorbed two other cauldrons, and two sets of runes on them had lit up, leaving six runes dark.
Chen Yang took out the third cauldron he had obtained in Qingshui Village from his backpack and placed it into the Mother Cauldron. The two cauldrons quickly merged.
The next moment, a ball of flame surged from the Mother Cauldron along his arm and into Chen Yang's body. This time, the ball of golden flame did not enter Chen Yang's internal organs but spread throughout his body along his bones and muscles.
Chen Yang had anticipated considerable pain, but he hadn't expected it to come so suddenly, so intensely, and over such a vast area, with every cell in his body being scorched by the golden flame.
Chen Yang collapsed to the ground with a thud, curling up. Sweat poured out of him, accompanied by a foul odor. Chen Yang clenched his fists tightly, enduring the sudden, excruciating pain. The previous two cauldrons had reinforced his heart and kidneys, respectively. However, he had not expected that this third cauldron would not strengthen his internal organs, but instead spread throughout his skin, bones, muscles, every cell, burning his entire body.
