Chapter 223 The experiment has been successful.
Wei Hao stared at Tan Zhengchu's back, his eyes burning with jealousy.
He gritted his teeth, his heart filled with resentment: "Why? Why does Tan Zhengchu have everything? Career, status, looks, even Su Yingxue is devoted to him! And I can only be locked up here like a piece of trash!"
His fists were clenched tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms.
"Since I can't have you, then I'll destroy you with my own hands, Tan Zhengchu!"
Tan Zhengchu seemed to sense the gaze behind him, and suddenly stopped and slowly turned around.
A dazzling smile curled at the corner of his mouth, but that smile was like a sharp knife, making Wei Hao unable to look directly at it.
“Wei Hao, do you know?” Tan Zhengchu’s voice was light and airy, yet it carried a suffocating sense of oppression, “Su Yingqing has returned to the Su family. She is now the president of Su Corporation and has taken over all of the Su family’s businesses.”
Wei Hao's face turned pale instantly, and his lips trembled slightly: "You... what did you say?"
Tan Zhengchu chuckled and continued, "Weren't you very close to Su Yingqing and Su Yingyun before? You even framed Su Yingxue together. What a pity, now you've been arrested, while they're living a prosperous life. You risked your life to help them, and what did you get in return? All your efforts were in vain."
A flicker of panic crossed Wei Hao's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by intense hatred.
He struggled violently, the chains clanging loudly: "You're lying! Su Yingqing wouldn't do this to me! She promised me!"
Tan Zhengchu looked at him coldly, his tone full of sarcasm: "Agree? Wei Hao, you're too naive. Don't you know what kind of person Su Yingqing is? She's just using you, just like Su Yingyun. They've never taken you seriously."
Veins bulged on Wei Hao's forehead, his voice hoarse and angry: "Shut up! What do you know? Old Master Su has always valued me highly, Su Yingqing... she wouldn't do this to me!"
Tan Zhengchu's smile deepened, but his eyes were as cold as ice: "Value you? Wei Hao, you're ridiculous. Old Master Su never treated you like a son-in-law, and Su Yingqing and Su Yingyun only treated you like an obedient dog. Now that you've been arrested, they're probably overjoyed."
Wei Hao's expression grew increasingly grim, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed.
His body trembled slightly, as if all his strength had been drained away.
Seeing his reaction, Tan Zhengchu's smile deepened.
He said in a low voice, "Wei Hao, you've always wanted to be the president of the Su family since you were a child, and you even went so far as to betray Su Yingxue. It's a pity that you tried your best but ended up with nothing. How pathetic."
Wei Hao's breathing became rapid, and the hatred in his eyes almost consumed him.
He stared intently at Tan Zhengchu, his voice hoarse: "Tan Zhengchu, you...you don't get cocky! I won't let you get away with this!"
Tan Zhengchu chuckled softly and turned to leave.
His smile vanished instantly, his eyes darkened, and he muttered to himself, "Wei Hao, do you think this is the end? No, this is just the beginning."
Standing to the side, the fifth brother looked at Wei Hao's pained expression and couldn't help but whisper to Tan Zhengchu, "President Tan, your move was truly brilliant."
Tan Zhengchu did not respond, but merely glanced coldly at Wei Hao before walking away.
Wei Hao watched his retreating figure and suddenly roared, "Tan Zhengchu! Come back! You lied to me, didn't you? Su Yingqing wouldn't do this to me! You lied to me!"
His voice echoed in the empty room, but received no response.
Wei Hao's eyes were filled with despair and anger, like a wild beast trapped in a cage, unable to break free.
He lowered his head and murmured to himself, "Why...why did this happen..."
Tan Zhengchu walked out of the room, a cold smile playing on his lips.
"Wei Hao, this is just the beginning. I will show you what real pain is."
Tan Zhengchu closed the door, and heard Wei Hao's painful roar in his ears.
A slight smile played on his lips, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he thought to himself, "Pain and sorrow are just right."
Just then, the third brother walked over quickly and said in a low voice, "President Tan, Dr. Lin has come out of the laboratory and is waiting for you in the office."
Tan Zhengchu nodded, his gaze shifting slightly, and said calmly, "Understood."
As he walked, he kept thinking about Lin Quan.
Lin Quan and Wei Hao both studied medicine and came from similar backgrounds, but their character was worlds apart.
Lin Quan has never accepted anything from his family; he has achieved what he has today through his own efforts.
Wei Hao, however, is greedy and ruthless, even willing to betray any of his relatives.
Tan Zhengchu sighed softly, "We're both studying medicine, so why is there such a big difference between us?"
He pushed open the office door and was somewhat surprised to see Lin Quan standing by the window smoking.
Lin Quan rarely smokes, especially when he is alone.
Tan Zhengchu walked to the sofa and sat down, crossing his legs. His tone was relaxed but with a hint of probing: "Dr. Lin, why are you suddenly smoking? Are you under a lot of pressure?"
Lin Quan did not answer immediately, but took a deep drag of his cigarette and slowly exhaled a smoke ring.
His back looked somewhat tired, and his voice was low: "Mr. Tan, you've arrived."
Tan Zhengchu's gaze fell on Lin Quan, his tone calm but tinged with urgency: "Dr. Lin, is there any hope for me?"
Although he was indifferent to life and death, he still felt a little reluctant when he thought of Su Yingxue and the child.
Lin Quan turned around, a warm glint in his eyes, his voice tinged with relief: "The experiment has been a success."
Tan Zhengchu raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "It succeeded?"
Lin Quan nodded, walked to the table, picked up an old diary, and said calmly but with a touch of emotion, "This is the diary my parents left me. It contains information about the virus. During this time, I've been spending every day in the lab, trying to develop the drug as soon as possible."
He opened his diary, pointed to a page, and said, "The formula is ready, but preparing this medicine is a bit troublesome, and the necessary ingredients are hard to find. In particular, one of the ingredients can only be used to make the medicine on specific days of the year."
Lin Quan's tone carried a hint of relief: "We were lucky to have come at this crucial time. If it had been a few days earlier or later, we wouldn't have been able to concoct the antidote."
After listening, Tan Zhengchu smiled and said in a relaxed and confident tone, "I knew you could save me."
Lin Quan looked at Tan Zhengchu, a complex expression flashing in his eyes, and said in a low voice, "President Tan, you trust me so much, I will not let you down."
Tan Zhengchu stood up, walked to Lin Quan, patted him on the shoulder, and said sincerely, "Dr. Lin, you are one of the people I trust most. This time, we owe you a lot."
Lin Quan lowered his head slightly, his voice carrying a hint of determination: "This is what I should do."
