Chapter 94 How could Gu Ci possibly have known?!

The investigator sent from the research institute this time was a diplomatic officer in his thirties, and what mattered most to him was whether the matter would swell into a scandal with disastrous consequences.

And then there was the patient who had been "collaterally harmed" by the miracle drug, a case serious enough to draw the attention of the research institute in Songdu.

As for the danger of this formulation that Gu Changrong spoke of, he understood none of it at all.

In his view, the so-called miracle drug contained nothing more than an extract used to promote animal healing. How much danger could that possibly hold?

Dr. Gu was simply trying to make a mountain out of a molehill.

After all, he was only a doctor. What could he possibly understand?

With that thought, the investigator grew even more dismissive.

"Dr. Gu, I advise you to hurry and go treat that patient."

"And let me remind you, that patient's background is not simple either. If her condition is delayed, you won't be able to bear the consequences."

Hearing this, Gu Changrong was so angry he did not know what to say.

Who on earth had sent this investigator? The words coming out of his mouth were absurdly ignorant and foolish.

Yet he was, after all, an investigator dispatched by the research institute, and the search warrant was in his hands.

So Gu Changrong could only force himself to remain patient and explain.

"I've already examined that patient. First, she is not in any danger of death. Second, she doesn't need my treatment. The most urgent matter now is to investigate the amount of formulation in their laboratory!"

The investigator's face immediately darkened.

"Are you instructing me how to do my job?"

"Dr. Gu, who exactly is the investigator here, you or me? At most, you're just outside help for this incident! From this moment on, you need not interfere anymore. All you have to do is treat that patient properly. That should be enough, shouldn't it?"

Treating Gu Changrong as nothing more than an ordinary doctor, the investigator spoke recklessly and without the slightest politeness.

Gu Changrong clearly seldom encountered such unreasonable behavior, and the investigator's brazen words left him at a loss for what to say.

In Gu Ci's eyes, this was obviously someone who had never been beaten down by society.

She put away her phone, glanced indifferently at the investigator, and then, while he was still speaking at length, suddenly stepped forward!

With a swift reversal, she threw him over her shoulder and slammed him to the ground.

Then, with utter composure, she reached into his pocket and took out the search warrant.

Lying on the floor and crying out in pain, the investigator turned deathly pale when he saw Gu Ci calmly take the warrant from his pocket.

"Do you know what you're doing? I am from the research institute!"

Gu Ci did not even spare him a glance. She turned her eyes slightly to the dean and asked, "Now we have a search warrant, don't we?"

"You... how can that count? That warrant was clearly snatched from the investigator!" the director shouted, pointing at Gu Ci.

He was secretly delighted as well; Gu Ci had actually dared to hit an investigator.

One had to know, this was a man from one of Songdu's great powers, the research institute.

She was clearly determined not to live in Songdu any longer.

The dean also let out a cold laugh. "So this is your upbringing?"

Gu Ci gave a soft laugh and merely lifted the search warrant in her hand.

"Then, do you want to try my upbringing too?"

Having understood the threat in those words, the dean's face turned from green to white and he almost fainted on the spot.

Then, without changing expression, he rested his hand on the telephone.

As long as he dialed the internal line, the hospital security would come up and drag this wild girl with not a shred of manners out of here!

Seeing this, Gu Ci reminded him coolly, "If you don't want your hand anymore, you can try."

The dean was startled and instinctively removed his hand from the phone.

He did not dare gamble on that possibility.

Gu Ci did this because she had already noticed the interesting things they were doing in the hospital laboratory.

Keep playing along with them?

Sorry, she did not have the patience.

"Let's go."

This was directed at both Gu Changrong and the dean.

Gu Ci turned slowly, only to see the stunned expression on Gu Changrong's face.

Gu Ci pressed her lips together and explained, "They are stalling for time."

It was a statement, not a question.

Though she was speaking to Gu Changrong, Gu Ci was looking fixedly at the dean and the director.

The two had originally intended to drag out the time. Now that Dr. Gu had arrived here ahead of their expectations, and Gu Ci had simply gone mad and knocked the investigator down, they could not possibly let Dr. Gu reach the laboratory now.

After composing themselves, the two exchanged a look and had already put on calm expressions, but...

Those dark, ink-black eyes suddenly made both of them tremble.

In that instant, all their thoughts seemed to be laid bare before Gu Ci.

The girl continued speaking.

This time, she addressed them directly.

"Let me guess: are you stalling to dispose of the evidence, or... stalling to do something worse?"

"The formulations are not only the ones on display, are they? You've sold them privately as well, haven't you?"

"How much did you make?"

"Fifty thousand? One hundred thousand? Or... six hundred seventy thousand."

Looking at the girl before them, calm and composed, serene and unruffled, the dean could not help but break out in a cold sweat.

At the same time, a thought rose in his mind.

Something was seriously off!

More horrified than the dean was the director, Cheng Ming.

When the exact figure of six hundred seventy thousand came from Gu Ci's mouth, he nearly lost control; every hair on his body seemed to stand on end, and his entire being went taut in an instant!

The dean could still recover and force himself to remain composed, but the director's mind had already become a tangled mess.

At that moment, all his calculations vanished, leaving only one question.

These matters were not even known to the dean. How... how did Gu Ci know?!

Gu Changrong was not a fool. Hearing Gu Ci's words and then seeing the director's unnatural expression, he immediately understood most of it!

If that was the case, then everything made sense.

They had previously believed that all the formulations had already been destroyed, but in truth they had not, because the dean had secretly produced them again!

Yet neither the dean nor Gu Changrong had taken the casually mentioned six hundred seventy thousand to heart.

Had they thought carefully about it, they might have noticed something was wrong...

If Gu Ci had only wanted to toss out a random number to frighten the director, why would she have chosen such an exact figure, down to the last digit?

And the miracle drug had only just reached the clinical stage, so how could Gu Ci possibly have cited a sum as high as several hundred thousand?
