Chapter 393: Success

On Saturday night, after several days of work in the laboratory, Song Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief as she looked at the final analysis report of the equipment. It was a success.
She gazed at the pale red liquid in her hand with excitement. This was one of the experiments she had conducted in her previous life—extracting certain nerve-paralyzing toxins from plants, purifying them multiple times to create a drug similar to an anesthetic. However, due to the presence of toxins, those who ingested it would immediately exhibit symptoms of poisoning.
The poison would circulate through the bloodstream, causing organ failure and immediate signs of deterioration.
As the poison primarily targeted the nervous system, the poisoned individual might experience symptoms like paralysis and vomiting.
Having previously experimented with mice, although the toxicity was not strong, the symptoms were very evident. Song Fan was confident that even someone like Jason wouldn’t be able to detoxify quickly, so he would use Snow Red Flower to prepare the antidote.
“Can we have dinner now?” came the voice of Gu Chen through the intercom at the door.
In fact, for the past few days, not only Song Fan but even Gu Chen rarely went to the company. Gu Chen felt at ease only when Song Fan was by his side, even at the Gu residence. He wanted to keep an eye on her at all times.
Back then, to prevent the laboratory information from being leaked, Gu Chen intentionally didn’t install surveillance. The security system was also the most comprehensive.
However, this led him to fret every day. He didn’t dare to disturb Song Fan in the laboratory at will. He could only call her once a day during meals.
Song Fan turned her head and saw Gu Chen anxiously looking into the laboratory at the door.
He had never rushed Song Fan before, at most reminding her to eat every day.
He didn’t let anyone disturb her, and even the matters related to the Song Group’s banquet were all handled by him. He entrusted everything related to contacting others to Lan Yue, just to give Song Fan enough time to focus on her research.
Thinking about how anxious he must have been these days, Song Fan smiled, raised the test tube in her hand, and said, “Come in; I’ve succeeded.”
Gu Chen opened the laboratory door, but he didn’t walk directly toward her. He was already a bit wary of various poisons, and he had already been poisoned several times. He didn’t want to get poisoned again.
Seeing his slightly fearful expression, Song Fan mischievously took a step forward, placing the test tube in front of him. As expected, Gu Chen quickly leaned back, but he resisted the urge to step back. He truly trusted Song Fan.
“Rest assured, this liquid is only effective when consumed. It won’t poison you through other means,” Song Fan put away the test tube and said, “The poison is ready, and I also have the antidote in my hands. The mission is accomplished! Shall we go out for dinner?”
After several consecutive nights of work, she had some dark circles, but her complexion remained lively. The thought of obtaining Snow Red Flower put her in a great mood, and she even ate two extra bowls during dinner.
Seeing her wolf down her food, Gu Chen coughed lightly, but Song Fan completely misunderstood his meaning. Instead, she said to Uncle Zhong, “Uncle Zhong, can you please serve me another bowl of spare rib soup? Today’s soup is delicious.”
“Ah? Oh, okay,” Uncle Zhong responded somewhat awkwardly, then exchanged glances with Gu Chen, silently asking if Song Fan had eaten too much.
“Song Fan, tomorrow is Sunday. Tomorrow is the banquet,” Gu Chen reminded her.
Song Fan took another bite before nodding. “I know. Haven’t you arranged everything?”
Gu Chen supported his forehead and said, “The banquet has been arranged, and your dress has arrived. However, if you continue eating like this, I’m afraid I’ll have to make them work overtime to alter your dress.”
Looking at her slightly bloated belly, Song Fan licked her lips and sighed,
“Being a woman is tough. Can’t I just wear a loose hoodie to the banquet?”
“If you’re willing, there’s no problem,” Gu Chen indulgently said. “But if you attend the banquet in a hoodie, Jason will surely keep a close eye on you.
Wouldn’t that make it easier to expose our plan?”
In reality, Song Fan wasn’t too concerned about what she wore to the banquet. However, considering the inappropriateness of attending such an important event in casual wear, she dismissed the idea.
Gu Chen’s subsequent words made her more alert. “By the way, this dress was sent to your company by Kevin. He specifically reminded you to wear this dress; otherwise, you will bear the consequences yourself.”
Thinking of Kevin’s expression when he said this, Song Fan awkwardly smiled. “I know. I will not disappoint him..”
