Chapter 299: Testing The Antidote

None

In the laboratory on the top floor, the two different chemicals spun and collided crazily on the instrument panel, finally fusing into a dark purple liquid.

Qiu Xingyuan and Ye Luan did not blink as they stared at the entire concoction process. They could not help letting out low cries of joy.

They high-fived and hugged each other. The dark purple liquid meant that they had successfully tested an antidote that could stimulate the nervous system and neutralize the semi-finished modification drug!

The joy quickly faded. Qiu Xingyuan and Ye Luan reached out their hands at almost the same time, wanting to snatch the antidote.

Qiu Xingyuan grabbed the tube first. With his back facing Ye Luan, he pushed a syringe into the test tube.

Ye Luan stopped him with a solemn expression. “You’re Auntie Qiu’s son. Let me try…”

Qiu Xingyuan frowned and retorted, “I was the one who came up with the composition of this antidote. No one is more suitable than me. You are older than me. If anything happens, you have to take care of Xingqiao and Little Yu.”

“Especially Xingqiao. He may always make sarcastic remarks at you, but deep down inside, he admires you.”

The two children were very similar to Jin Yang and Qiu Tong. As they fought over the antidote, a pair of large hands descended from above and took away the test tube.

Qiu Xingyuan and Ye Luan lifted their heads in shock.

Jin Yang raised the syringe and tried to inject it into his body.

Ye Luan hurriedly jumped up and pressed down on his arm, shouting, “No! There’s a problem with this antidote!”

The argument in the laboratory woke everyone in the villa. Everyone gathered in the living room, all staring at the antidote.

Qiu Xingyuan clasped his hands and explained, “Although we specially made this antidote for the semi-finished modification drug, there are two components that Ye Luan and I are not sure about.”

“This version of the antidote might wake Mommy up or kill her.”

“But if this version doesn’t work, then the other one will definitely succeed.”

Everyone was silent. Qiu Xingyuan’s intention was undoubtedly to gamble with his life, betting on a 50% chance.

Qiu Xingyu asked with tears in her eyes, “Is that why Eldest Brother wants to test the antidote in place of Mommy?”

Qiu Xingyuan paused for a moment before nodding gently. An opportunity was right in front of him. Even if he had to use his life to try, he was willing!

Jin Yang held the test tube in his hand. He said without hesitation, “I should be the one testing it.”

Song Yan suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with confusion and anger. He asked, “There are so many death row inmates in the prison. Shao An can find any two and experiment on them! They are already destined for death, but what about you? What if something happens to you?”

“The capital will be paralyzed. What will the high-ranking officials of the various cities secretly do? Your beloved citizens might end up in a civil war!”

“You are usually so responsible and noble. Why are you so impulsive now? Put down the antidote!”

Shao An nodded in agreement and gestured to send someone to the prison to ask for subjects.

Jin Yang stopped them and said in a low voice, “It’s not safe in S City’s prison. Have you forgotten that the prison guards tried to kill Uncle Qiu? Can you guarantee that you can find a death row inmate and not a killer from the Vulture Organization?”

“The guards have suffered heavy losses. The entire villa is being guarded by less than 10 of them, as well as Ke Le and his men. We cannot withstand another attack, Song Yan, how can I risk everyone’s safety?”

Song Yan understood that his worries were reasonable, but he insisted and used the well-being of the citizens to pressure Jin Yang.

Jin Yang smirked, his eyes filled with trust as he said, “Haven’t you always wanted to be the president? Now, such a good opportunity is right in front of you. If something really happens to me, Shao An will obey you.”

“You are not like me. You will not be controlled by our father. Perhaps you can make a new world.”

With that, Jin Yang injected the antidote into his body.

The effects of the antidote spread throughout his body. Jin Yang lost his balance and fell to the ground. Qiu Xingyuan ran to his side and helped him lean against the back of the sofa, allowing him to breathe more comfortably.

Shao An wanted to bring him to the ward on the top floor, but Qiu Xingyuan stopped him with bloodshot eyes. “No!”

“Moving him will disrupt the antidote in his body. All we can do is wait…”

Over the past few days, the Qiu family had endured many desperate situations. Each of them had an expression of deep helplessness on their faces.

They thought that their hearts were already numb to death, but it still hurt.

Jin Yang’s face turned pale and ashen. He could feel the alternating heat and chill coming from his body.

Jin Yang’s body kept twitching and trembling until he lost consciousness.

Warm sunlight shone on his body. After an unknown period of time, Jin Yang slowly opened his eyes. He saw Qiu Xingyuan sleeping beside him and gently touched him. Qiu Xingyuan was instantly awakened and he immediately checked the monitor equipment.

“You’re awake. The antidote is successful!”

Qiu Xingyuan said excitedly. Jin Yang stroked his head and nodded.
