Chapter 581: Chapter 579 What’s Wrong_1

Ning Xiaoyou felt both envious and jealous at this moment, and upon thinking of the value of Medicinal Wood Flower, she suddenly grew anxious, "Dad, I’ve heard that Medicinal Wood has strong detoxifying properties. Now that Xia Ningxing has Medicinal Wood, what if she is the first to come up with an antidote to fight the epidemic?"

She had been planning to make a name for herself with this opportunity, seeing it as critical to her inheritance of the Ning Family. But now, it seemed Xia Ningxing was about to find a cure for the epidemic before her.

At this point, Ning Xiaoyou truly wished she could kill Xia Ningxing.

However, Ning Xiaoyou soon thought of a plan, "Wait, Dad, I’ve come up with a great idea, even if the Medicinal Wood is currently in Xia Ningxing’s hands, so what..."

Saying this, Ning Xiaoyou leaned in and whispered a few words into Mr. Ning’s ear, her eyes constantly rolling, shimmering with a malicious cold light.

After hearing her out, Mr. Ning patted his thigh, praising her with satisfaction, "You are indeed my daughter, you’ve come to the same conclusion as I have! Marvelous!"

Feeling praised, Ning Xiaoyou lifted her chin with pride and took his hand, promising, "Dad, rest assured, I will come up with a medicine before Xia Ningxing and my cousin, and then earn Auntie’s favor to become the Ning Family’s inheritor."

"Good, good, good!" Mr. Ning loved to hear these words; Ning Xiaoyou had spoken to his heart’s content.

Xia Ningxing had already entered the laboratory building by then.

She was about to conduct an experiment but heard that there was going to be a media conference.

Why such a meeting at this ungodly hour?

Although puzzled, Xia Ningxing locked the Medicinal Wood in a cabinet, ready to find out what was going on.

Accompanying her to the meeting were other traditional Chinese medicine practitioners and members of the Ning Family.

However, Ning Xiaoyou was conspicuously absent.

"How come Ning Xiaoyou is not here?" Xia Ningxing seemed to ask casually, but no one noticed a swift flash of cold light in her eyes.

She had a suspicion forming in her heart.

After exchanging glances, someone from the Ning Family replied, "Xiaoyou isn’t feeling well due to her period."

Hearing that, Xia Ningxing and the others didn’t pursue the topic further.

When the meeting began, Xia Ningxing saw the leader seemingly stalling for time with unnecessary verbosity, further confirming her suspicions.

She guessed that the person who had been eyeing her earlier was either Ning Xiaoyou or perhaps Mr. Ning.

Or if not the two of them, then certainly someone from the Ning Family.

With their keenness, it wouldn’t be difficult for them to notice the existence of Medicinal Wood, so was this all a ploy to distract her?

Xia Ningxing did not know what she was thinking, but a cold laugh rose within her.

Upon returning, Xia Ningxing noticed signs that someone had tampered with her drawer.

Although the Medicinal Wood was still there, two of its flowers were missing.

Her face showed no surprise; instead, there was a sneer.

Did the Ning Family really think that by obtaining the Medicinal Wood Flower, they could cure Golden Dagger Poison?

If so, they were terribly naive!

But soon, Xia Ningxing was "proven wrong."

Suddenly, Ning Xiaoyou, who supposedly was unwell due to her period, stood in front of the experimental table, shouting with excitement, "I did it! I succeeded!"

"What succeeded?" Others asked instinctively.

Ning Xiaoyou, swallowing her excitement, stuttered, "Of course, it’s the medicine I’ve developed to fight ’S’!"

"Really? Are you serious?" Everyone was simultaneously stunned by her declaration.

"How could I possibly joke about such a thing?" Ning Xiaoyou spread her hands in frustration, "If you don’t believe me, just look at the lab mouse for yourselves!"

"This laboratory mouse was infected with Golden Dagger Poison, but after taking my medicine, it soon recovered. If you still don’t believe it, then I’ll do the experiment again for you all to see!" Saying that, Ning Xiaoyou proceeded to work once more.

First, she grabbed a mouse that was poisoned and barely alive, then she drew a black traditional medicine into a syringe, and finally fed it to the mouse.

As she completed these actions, traditional medicine experts and others couldn’t help but stare wide-eyed at the mouse, not blinking once.

Several experts who heard the news also fixed their eyes on the experimental table.

Could it really be successful?

In that instant, everyone’s hearts rose to their throats, filled with anticipation, apprehension, and nervousness.

Except for Xia Ningxing, who remained unperturbed, casually sipping tea.

About fifteen minutes later, the once sickly mouse miraculously recovered, bouncing and leaping around.

And when they looked at the equipment, the mouse had indeed returned to normal!

The crowd erupted—

"It worked! It really worked!"

"To think a traditional medicine practitioner of a Traditional Medicine Family could be so impressive!"

"Exactly! We haven’t managed to find a cure in nearly a month, and they did it in less than three days!"

"Incredible! And to be so young, truly the younger generation is formidable!"

Hearing the praises, Ning Xiaoyou and the Ning Family members wore proud expressions, their chins lifted and lips curled arrogantly.

Especially Ning Xiaoyou, who could already envision her glorious future.

After years of rivalry with her cousin, she was finally going to defeat her.

Fantastic! Marvelous!

Surely her aunt would regard her differently because of this, and come the time for the Family Head assessment, she might even get a break.

At this moment, Ning Xiaoyou was so ecstatic she felt like howling with joy.

"Now that the antidote is ready, what are we waiting for? Let’s inject the infected right away, and once we get the antibodies from the tested subjects, we can produce Detoxification Needle!" An expert urged, unable to contain his excitement.

Every second counted as more people were getting infected and losing their lives, and seizing the moment was tantamount to seizing life.

The reason for making Detoxification Needle was its ease of preservation and low cost; otherwise, not to mention the need to brew the herbal medication, there was also a plethora of expensive herbs involved. If everyone had to take the traditional medicine, where would Star Shine find enough herbs, and the costs would be prohibitively high.
