Become a one-time character in a comic

Xu Yan asked Huo Ting to find the woman's location. After getting the location, Xu Yan went to find the woman.

The hotel breakfast was a buffet, so Xu Yan went in and had his meal too. He ate in the restaurant for an hour before he finally saw the woman.

The woman took the tray and found a corner to sit down. Xu Yan went to order some more food, then sat down opposite the woman with the tray.

"When did you meet him?"

The woman was about to drink her porridge when she heard the question from the person sitting opposite her. She looked up in confusion and found that he was looking at her. She asked in confusion, "Are you asking me?"

"otherwise?"

The woman put down the spoon and leaned back defensively: "I don't think I know you."

Xu Yan watched her act calmly: "We met yesterday."

"I don't know you," the woman took her breakfast and went to another place, secretly cursing "lunatic" before leaving.

Xu Yan felt strange. He had clearly seen him yesterday and they had a conversation, but today it was as if he really didn't know him.

He told Huo Ting about this, and Huo Ting laughed. Xu Yan was very upset: "What are you laughing at?"

"I told you before, you can't find anything, but you insist on going. Why bother asking for trouble? Hahaha," Huo Ting laughed until tears came out and he slapped his thigh with laughter.

Xu Yan became even more annoyed and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

"You should drink less. Don't you have surgery tonight?"

Xu Yan glanced at his phone and said disdainfully, "It's only half past ten now. I have an operation at 7:30 in the evening. It won't bother me."

Huo Ting didn't pour wine into his glass, but only poured a little for himself: "I didn't expect that he really had a partner first between us, and it's so strange." He put the bottle away from Xu Yan: "You want to investigate his partner because there is a betrayer on the 'road'."

Xu Yan didn't answer. Huo Ting handed the wine glass to his mouth: "You don't have to worry about this. Sister Mingyue is here."

"Huh?!" Xu Yan asked in surprise, "Are you really here?"

Huo Ting raised his eyebrows while drinking: "really, she got off the plane on the day we were rescued, and chatted with Gu Mingxing's partner for a while. If that woman really approached Gu Mingxing for something on the 'road', Sister Mingyue would have dealt with her long ago. Obviously, that woman is not the one, and the betrayer is from within us."

"Can you find out who is behind the betrayer?"

"If I had found out, I wouldn't be drinking here now, I'd be in the warehouse."

There was only a sip of wine in Huo Ting's glass. After drinking it, there was only a spherical ice cube in the glass. He put the glass on the table: "Do you want to see how the first person who betrayed us is doing now? Sister Mingyue is here too."

"The scene is cruel, I don't want to watch it."

Huo Ting shrugged and left.

Afterwards Xu Yan also left.

Xu Yan went straight back to the hospital. Aunt Xu was in the director's office. Xu Yan walked in and asked, "Mom, you're back?"

"Well, there was an academic seminar recently and I was invited to attend, so I came back." Aunt Xu looked up at him and said, "I heard that you were kidnapped recently. Where are you injured?"

"The injury is not serious, it has been treated."

"That's fine," Aunt Xu waved for him to come over. Xu Yan walked over and saw the information on the computer screen. He took a quick look and looked at his mother in shock.

"Mom, this is..."

Aunt Xu nodded: "This is the recipe for 'tea powder'."

Xu Yan couldn't help but frowned: "You never showed this to me before, why today..."

“Because the market of this country will start from you later.”

Xu Yan’s eyes went dark in an instant, and he couldn’t believe what he saw and heard.

Aunt Xu smiled and said, "Gu Mingxing and Huo Ting have done well in the past few years. They have gradually stabilized in this country and have a good reputation. It is very suitable to develop 'Xiaolu' to expand the market. By then, our 'tea powder' will be the most popular product in the world."

"Mom, can't we just stop?"

"Xu Yan, what are you talking about?"

It is said that one's scariest moment is when one's parents call one's full name. Xu Yan could sense his mother's disbelief and doubt.

"Xu Yan, this is something your father and I have been researching for thirteen years. We have finally found a market in other countries. Now you say you want to stop. Do you know what you are saying?"

Xu Yan knew what it meant for a researcher to develop a usable drug, and he also knew how much it meant to be happy to want to develop something after spending more than ten years of hard work and achieving results.

However, this drug is a mind-controlling drug, and people are very sensitive to the dosage and time of use of this drug, even to the point of always stepping on the red line.

"Mom, I don't want to do this..."

Xu Yan had never dared to go against his family's arrangements, but when this matter was placed in front of him, he didn't know where the courage came from.

"Aren't our roots and the lessons of history enough? Why does it have to be this? The existence of this drug itself does more harm than good."

Aunt Xu was furious and slapped Xu Yan in the face: "Xu Yan! You are my son! Your father and I developed this thing not only for us, but also for you. You know that if you don't have a life-saving device on this 'road', you will die at any time!!!"

She poked the screen and said, "This! This is what can save our lives. Only our Xu family can make these things. Do you understand?!!!"

Xu Yan was stunned by the slap. He covered his face in disbelief, lowered his hands, lowered his head and smiled: "I understand."

In fact, Xu Yan didn't understand. He couldn't comprehend what his parents did. They had a great reputation in the medical community and their medical skills were also well-known, but they spent more than ten years researching this "tea powder". This medicine could calm people down, but if the purity and quantity were wrong, it would cause irreversible damage to the person's nerves. When the purity was high, it could directly lead to death, and that would only take less than three seconds.

You obviously have the ability to make a living, so why do you still need this thing to survive?

This is not for him, but for themselves. They are reluctant to abandon their research results and do not want their research results to be suppressed by the word "banned" and never see the light of day.

He instantly understood why Gu Mingxing did those things, and why Huo Ting was setting up his own intelligence network instead of relying on his own family's intelligence network.

This "road" is full of sin, but they don't want to be contaminated by it.

That night, Xu Yan sent a text message to Gu Mingxing: I want to build a research institute and a hospital.

Gu Mingxing had told Xu Yan and Huo Ting about his ideas a long time ago, but at that time only Huo Ting was willing to stand with him, and Xu Yan was still on the "road".

After seeing Xu Yan’s message, Gu Mingxing immediately replied: Okay, I will pay the full amount.

That night, Xu Yan sat in front of his desk, looking at the "tea powder" formula displayed on the computer screen and cried for a long time, so long that he couldn't remember whether there were tears in his eyes.
