CHAPTER 438: CHAPTER 269: THE LEAKER 1_2

Wu Kang delivered the pastries to Zhuo Yufeng, who then took them to the medical examiner. The lab results confirmed there was no issue.

After receiving a call from Zhuo Yufeng, Bei Ran knew that for now, there was nothing wrong with Ning Shuhui.

Zhuo Yufeng conveyed a piece of news: "Bei Ran, Shen Qingya is staying with the Zhuang Family."

"What?" Bei Ran was surprised, "Why?"

Zhuo Yufeng explained, "According to reliable sources, Shen Qingya is standing up for Ning Shuhui, partly to comfort her good friend and partly to negotiate their divorce with Director Zhuang."

"If you have any other news, remember to tell me." After hanging up the phone, Bei Ran fell into deep thought.

That night, at the Zhuang Family residence.

Ning Shuhui was watching TV while Shen Qingya was looking over some documents she had brought back.

"Qingya, go to the study!" Ning Shuhui suggested, "There are plenty of rooms here, you can choose any one for your study! I’m also making noise here!"

"Alright!" Shen Qingya nodded, "Also, Shuhui, didn’t you ask if I wanted to have children with him? So, you know what to do tonight, right?"

Ning Shuhui nervously looked at her: "But I... but I..."

"You are husband and wife, what do you mean ’but’?" Shen Qingya said, "It’s completely normal between spouses, don’t be silly."

"Uh..." Ning Shuhui’s hands kept rubbing together, still very nervous, although they were husband and wife, they hadn’t consummated their marriage, and if she took the initiative...

Shen Qingya found a study room next door to Zhuang Shengxian.

She opened the door to Zhuang Shengxian’s study and looked at his desk from the doorway.

"Qingya..." Ning Shuhui ran over, "Shengxian doesn’t like me messing with his stuff. He says these are all prescriptions of the medications he is researching, written down offhand. He’s worried I might move something and he’ll not find it..."

Shen Qingya nodded, "My study is missing a chair, so I was checking if there was one here?"

"Let’s go!" said Ning Shuhui, "I’ll find you a chair in the storage room!"

Shen Qingya worked late, and Ning Shuhui came to check on her several times: "Qingya, does being a woman have to be this exhausting?"

"You should go wait for him in the bedroom!" Shen Qingya responded, "I’d rather be a bit tired, it makes me feel better."

Ning Shuhui stared at her: "Actually, you still can’t let go of Gu Qingchen, can you?"

"Shuhui, you are my best friend, I’ll tell you the truth! Saying I’ve let go completely would be a stretch," Shen Qingya twisted her neck, stretching her limbs, "But this time I came back, not for love, nor to see Qingchen. I know, having left with no regrets back then, I must accept the fact he doesn’t love me anymore, you know my personality."

"I understand." Ning Shuhui cooked a bowl of dumplings for her: "Eat them while they’re hot! You are a strong woman, all about work, you should rest early! I’ll go upstairs and get ready..."

"Shuhui..." Shen Qingya watched her, "Good luck!"

"I will!" Ning Shuhui quickly ran off.

Watching Ning Shuhui’s disappearing figure, Shen Qingya looked at the steaming bowl of handmade dumplings, noting how rare it was for someone to make handmade dumplings nowadays. How blissful Zhuang Shengxian, whom Ning Shuhui loved, must be was beyond words.

In the early hours of the morning.

Shen Qingya heard the sound of a car returning outside, so she turned off the light in her study.

After Zhuang Shengxian returned, he wanted to go to his study but was stopped by Ning Shuhui.

"Shengxian, are you hungry?" Ning Shuhui changed into a sensual nightgown, showcasing her charming figure, "I made dumplings, can I cook some for you?"

Zhuang Shengxian looked at her: "It’s so late, why aren’t you sleeping? If I’m hungry, I can take care of myself."

Naturally, Ning Shuhui felt particularly wronged, her eyes turning red.

Zhuang Shengxian sighed: "Shuhui, I’ve really been very busy lately. You shouldn’t think too much!"

As he spoke, he headed towards the study.

Ning Shuhui held onto him, "Can you go to the bedroom instead? I have something to give you!"

"I really don’t have the time..." Zhuang Shengxian was extremely busy at the hospital today, and when he got home, he wanted to continue working on that medication.

"Just a moment, is that okay?" Ning Shuhui was on the verge of tears.

Zhuang Shengxian looked at her; he knew she cared about him, but this time, it concerned Bei Ran. All signs now pointed to Bei Ran being in danger, with an invisible maelstrom pulling her in.

How could he just stand by?

He would save Gu Bohan, and another purpose was that, once Gu Bohan was revived, their combined strength would be sufficient to contend with Thunderbolt Dark Emperor Long Fei.

This time, he absolutely couldn’t let Bei Ran be harmed again.

"Shuhui, listen to me..." Zhuang Shengxian looked at her, "I’ve really been very busy lately..."

Ning Shuhui looked at him and silently cried.

"Shuhui..." Zhuang Shengxian frowned.

Ning Shuhui then ran into the bedroom. Couldn’t he spare her even a moment?

Zhuang Shengxian opened the door to his study, placing the materials he brought from the hospital on his desk. He started working, but was somewhat distracted, and so, he went up to the bedroom.

After Zhuang Shengxian left, Shen Qingya emerged from her study and quickly went into Zhuang Shengxian’s study. She looked at the handwritten records he preferred, photographing these records with her phone.

The latest news report stated: "Song Pharmaceutical Factory has recently developed a new cardiovascular health medication extracted from dozens of plants listed in the Compendium of Materia Medica, now available in markets..."

Zhuang’s Hospital.

Bei Ran, Gu Qingchen, and Zhuo Yufeng had all arrived.

Zhuang Shengxian addressed them: "You’ve seen the news. I indeed know that Song Pharmaceutical Factory had been researching this new drug, but for their formula to be exactly the same as mine, and released a day earlier than ours... I believe this is no coincidence..."

Gu Qingchen nodded, "Of course it’s not a coincidence. Director Zhuang, I’ve learned from the top management at Song Pharmaceutical that they bought the formula from a mysterious person, and launched it a day earlier than you. The key is, who leaked this formula?"
