A month later, Jian Yiling’s research team began to achieve initial results.

As Qin Chuan’s condition was critical, Jian Yiling decided to use drugs that had not yet been fully clinically tested on him.

If she was just trying to win against Zhang Xin, she would not have rashly used the medicine on Qin Chuan before the results of the competition came out. After all, if she did this, she would be essentially revealing her research progress to the Zhang family.

Naturally, Qin Chuan trusted Jian Yiling. He was willing to try the drugs that had not been repeatedly verified through experiments. On top of this, he specifically asked to sign a waiver agreement.

He did not want Jian Yiling to be held responsible for his condition if it deteriorated.

After trying the new drug developed by Jian Yiling, Qin Chuan’s condition improved significantly.

Qin Chuan’s mother was delighted to see this. The members of Jian Yiling’s team were also very happy.

Upon learning this news, the person Zhang Xin arranged to be in Qin Chuan’s ward immediately informed him.

Zhang Xin was utterly furious.

After an entire month of experiments, their team made little progress.

However, Jian Yiling’s team somehow achieved such a huge breakthrough.

If Jian Yiling did multiple experiments with the new drug and it was proven to be effective, this meant he was going to lose the competition.

No. He couldn’t afford to lose.

If he lost to Jian Yiling, this would mean the Zhang family would actually end up losing their reputation and status in the medical industry.

And this was something he absolutely could not tolerate.

On top of this, his family elders would definitely blame him.

Therefore, he could not lose. His pride would not allow him to fail. The definition of failure did not exist inside his dictionary.

“What’s going on?”

When Luo Xiuen entered the research lab in the morning with Jian Yiling, she discovered everything was in ruin.

All their papers had been burned.

In addition, the computers they used to store data had been completely trashed. It seemed as though particular care was put into destroying the memory and storage.

Furthermore, all the flasks inside the lab were all knocked over, and various liquids were spilled on the table and floor.

Inside the small room belonging to Liu Ting, his collections of bottles and jars were also all smashed. Formalin solutions were spilled all over the floor and strange organs and tissues were all exposed to the air.

It seemed like the entire research room just encountered an intense battle.

“The Zhang family must have done this!” Luo Xiuen exclaimed in anger.

Other than the Zhang family, no one else would achieve anything from destroying their research progression.

“They’re so damn despicable! I’m going to go and settle a score with them! I will beat the hell out of them!” Luo Xiuen refused to tolerate what happened.

As she was also pregnant, her temper was a little more irritable than usual

“Don’t go,” Jian Yiling called out as she stopped Luo Xiuen.

“Yiling, don’t stop me. I can’t stand this.”

“No,” Jian Yiling firmly said as she opened her arms to block Luo Xiuen’s way. She did not want her sister-in-law to act impulsively.

“Yiling… I…” Luo Xiuen started.

“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it,” Jian Yiling calmly reassured Luo Xiuen.

Upon hearing this, Luo Xiuen gradually calmed down.

“But Yiling… That was almost a month of research data… It’s been completely destroyed. We would have to start from scratch… It will take us at least half a month to return to where we were. We were so close to achieving results…”

When she thought about their hard work that got destroyed, Luo Xiuen felt incredibly angry.
