Chapter 941: Chapter 941: Drug Trial (4)
"Didn’t you leave?"
When Song Ning returned to the lab, she was somewhat surprised to see him.
"You have other plans." Bai Youchen wasn’t surprised to see him.
Earlier, when Gu Annan suddenly decided to reanalyze the antidote, he sensed there must be another plan.
"Experiment with the drug." Gu Annan didn’t mince words, "There’s still some of the drug left, right? Try it on others first, if it succeeds, then give it to Wen Qiao."
Ji Shaoyang had certain feelings for Wen Qiao and didn’t want to resort to coercion unless absolutely necessary.
Moreover, if something went wrong after Wen Qiao tried it, he’d never dare to give it to Lu Wanwan.
The safer approach was to experiment on others first and then have Wen Qiao try it.
At least this way, everything would be foolproof.
"Who do you plan to use for a live experiment?" Bai Youchen furrowed his brows, "No one knows if the antidote will work. But if we give this poison to someone else and the antidote fails, it’s an unnecessary sacrifice."
Gu Annan’s lips curved into a ruthless arc, "There are some people whose sacrifice wouldn’t be regrettable."

"Let me go! Please, let us go!" Upon hearing someone entering, Xue Ru cried and pleaded, "We truly won’t dare to do anything wrong again."
Mu Bei, accompanied by several others, walked into the basement.
This was the Gu Family’s basement, where Shuman, Gu Yunsi, and Xue Ru were held.
Although they hadn’t been tortured, they had no idea what fate awaited them each day.
"Pleading with them is useless." Shuman, hands bound, didn’t beg.
Xue Ru ignored her, "How long are you going to keep us here? We really know we were wrong!"
"Take them away." Mu Bei ordered his subordinates.
Gu Yunsi began to cry loudly, "Don’t take me, where are you taking me? Don’t touch me!"
"Get away, don’t touch my daughter. Where is Gu Annan? Where is Lu Wanwan? Where are they?" Xue Ru screamed like a madwoman, "I’m his aunt, how could he do this to me?"
Shuman snorted coldly.
"It’s all because of you, your own fault dragging us down too!" Xue Ru said bitterly.
As the men approached, Shuman stood alone, "I can walk myself, I don’t need your help."
Mu Bei glanced at them; sending them back to Manchester required discretion, temporarily keeping it from the Shu Family.
"Where is my husband? Where is my husband?" Xue Ru shouted, her cries mingling with Gu Yunsi’s sobs, echoing within the basement.
Mu Bei spoke indifferently, "Mr. Gu Fangming? Your divorce agreement is already being drafted. Soon, you will have no ties with the Gu Family. It’s useless to yell, Ms. Xue Ru, better save your energy."
"I want to see grandma..." Gu Yunsi cried, "Even if she divorces dad, I’m still dad’s daughter. I don’t believe grandma would be so heartless. Are you going to kill us?"
This dark place had held them for several days; she constantly feared her life was nearing its end.
"What are you doing!" Gu Yunsi screamed sharply, seeing someone approach with a syringe.
Even Shuman’s face was drained of color, cold sweat pouring down, "He wouldn’t dare do this, he must not dare."
After being sedated, all three had already fallen asleep.
The three were secretly transported away, arriving in Manchester that night.
Xue Ru woke groggily to see masked doctors under the spotlights, approaching once again with syringes, causing her to faint from fear.
