Second pregnancy, sixth child: The beloved mom's disguise has been exposed again.

Chapter 146 A look of frustration and helplessness.

Ning Yao was helpless. Old Master Wen absolutely refused to let her detoxify Old Madam Wen. She sneaked into the ward, but was caught red-handed by that纨绔少爷 (spoiled young master) Wen Tingxian. It would be difficult for her to sneak into the old lady's ward again in the future.

After leaving the room, Ning Yao was sweating profusely. There were only two days left, and if she didn't try now, she was afraid it would be too late.

Just then, Hu Mingyu also came out from the old man's place. As he passed by Ning Yao, he greeted her.

"Dr. Hu, I have something to tell you. Are you free now? Let's talk."

"Okay, come this way with me."

Hu Mingyu led Ning Yao into his office, asked her to sit down, poured her a cup of tea, and handed it to her in a friendly manner.

"The old man said your medical research team has made a breakthrough. When will the old lady wake up?"

“This…” Hu Mingyu frowned hesitantly; he wasn’t good at lying.

"As expected, the old man was just making up an excuse to fob me off." Ning Yao said knowingly, and Hu Mingyu's words did not surprise her at all.

Ning Yao looked down and took out a bottle of antidote water she had prepared with the spiritual spring last night from her bag, and handed it to Hu Mingyu.

"This is an antidote I prepared based on the toxin sample. Please take it and have the old lady try it."

Hu Mingyu suspiciously held the medicine bottle up to his eyes and shook it. The clear liquid inside was crystal clear, just like mineral water.

Does this stuff really have an antidote effect?

Ning Yao noticed Hu Mingyu's hesitation, so she advised, "You don't have a better solution right now, do you?"

“If I were to handle the old lady’s condition entirely, I would be willing to give it a try. But the old man disagrees. Even if I give it to him, he will never allow the medicine to be used on the old lady,” Hu Mingyu said with a sigh.

"Don't give it to the old man, give it to the old lady directly," Ning Yao suggested.

"Are you sure this medicine can really save the old lady's life?" Hu Mingyu stared into Ning Yao's eyes, as if trying to see if she was lying.

"I'm not sure, but this is the most effective antidote I can come up with. I'll have to try it to see if it works," Ning Yao replied truthfully.

Hearing Ning Yao's uncertain answer, Hu Mingyu felt much more at ease.

He would find it strange if Ning Yao were to immediately confirm that the medicine could save the old lady.

"Alright, I'll take it and try it. But I need to test the ingredients in this bottle to make sure it's harmless to the human body before I can give it to the old lady."

After much deliberation, Hu Mingyu decided to take a gamble.

After all, their research team had truly exhausted all their options, trying every possible method, almost all of which ended in failure.

“Of course, no problem. If it doesn’t work, feel free to ask me if you have any suggestions for improvement.” Ning Yao couldn’t be happier that Hu Mingyu was willing to help her, which would save her from having to sneak into the ICU at night again.

After seeing Ning Yao off, Hu Mingyu hurriedly went to the laboratory with the medicine.

To avoid being discovered by others while he was researching potions, Hu Mingyu deliberately found a secluded location.

Hu Mingyu took two drops of the medicine and put them into a test tube. He then carefully placed the test tube into the instrument and let it stand for a while. Hu Mingyu successfully obtained the medicine's composition report.

Several of the ingredients are not found in existing medical records, and Hu Mingyu did not know what they were.

So they decided to extract this component separately and tested it on several mice.

Mice injected with this ingredient not only did not die, but became even healthier.

Hu Mingyu still felt uneasy, and after hesitating for a moment, he injected the ingredient into his body again.

Before long, he felt clear-headed and refreshed, and his body not only felt no discomfort, but also felt much more comfortable.

Hu Mingyu was extremely excited. This unknown element had not yet been discovered by any institution, making it a major breakthrough in medical history.

Having confirmed that the medicine's ingredients were harmless to the human body and did not cause any adverse reactions with any other medications in the old lady's body, Hu Mingyu quickly grabbed the medicine bottle and hurried off to find Grandpa Wen.

Grandpa Wen was still by Grandma Wen's bedside, his face filled with worry. Hearing Hu Mingyu's movements, he turned his head heavily.

"The antidote has been developed. If you think it's okay, just sign this agreement, and I'll inject the antidote into the old lady's body immediately," Hu Mingyu said to Old Master Wen with a smile.

In just one day, Mr. Wen heard similar words no less than ten times, but he showed no excitement whatsoever.

"Give me the pen." Old Master Wen took the pen from Hu Mingyu and wrote his name on the agreement.

Hu Mingyu drew the medicine into a syringe, released a small amount of the medicine at the thin, sharp needle, and then inserted it into the old lady's vein, slowly pushing the medicine into her body.

Grandpa Wen watched Hu Mingyu's movements from the side, and only after he finished did he ask in a deep voice, "What should we pay attention to?"

"It takes some time for the medicine to react in the body. I will come back in three hours to draw blood for the old lady for testing. During this time, the old man should not let any doctor give the old lady any medication, as I am worried that there may be a drug rejection reaction."

"Okay." Old Master Wen readily agreed, then sat down again by the bedside, took Old Madam Wen's hand, and hope was rekindled in his heart.

Hu Mingyu returned to the lab and immediately called Ning Yao. After she answered, Hu Mingyu said, "I've already injected the medicine into the old lady. We'll draw blood again in three hours to test if the toxins have been cleared."

Ning Yao narrowed her eyes suspiciously, put down the company documents, and raised an eyebrow to look at the computer screen on her boss's desk.

Since the results won't be available for another three hours, is he calling her now just to let her know that he has already given the old lady the medicine?

"I detected several unknown elements in the potion. I would like to ask Miss Ning Yao how this antidote was prepared?" Hu Mingyu stated his purpose.

If these elements could be artificially developed, they would certainly advance domestic medicine, solve intractable diseases, and benefit the people.

"I added a small half-bottle of my mother's family-inherited medicine to the antidote. When I was a child, I was seriously ill, and my mother gave me that medicine to drink, which made me better. I just made a bottle of antidote on a whim, and I don't really know how it was prepared."

The Ning family's affairs caused quite a stir in the capital. Hu Mingyu knew, of course, that Ning Yao's mother had been tortured to death by the villains and had passed away.

"I'm sorry, I brought up something that hurt your feelings..."

"Here's what we'll do. I'll let you know once the old lady's blood test results are in."

Hu Mingyu was somewhat disappointed. He made the call to inquire about the origin of these unknown elements, but unfortunately, the person who knew the formula had passed away, and no one knew how these unknown elements were extracted. It was such a pity.

After finishing speaking, Hu Mingyu was about to hang up the phone when he suddenly heard Ning Yao's voice.

"Dr. Hu, thank you for your trust."

"I tested it and confirmed that there were no problems before using it, Miss Ning Yao, you don't need to thank me," Hu Mingyu said with a smile.

"The fact that you're willing to accept my medicine already shows that you trust me..."

“Mr. Hu, if you ever need my help in the future, please don’t hesitate to ask. Consider this a favor I owe you.”

Ning Yao spoke sincerely, each word carrying exceptional force.

Three hours later, at the Imperial City Private High-End Hospital.

The results of Madam Wen's blood test showed that all the toxins in her body had been completely cleared, leaving no residue.

Strangely, the old lady showed no signs of poisoning, yet she remained unconscious in her hospital bed...

This really worried Grandpa Wen. Hu Mingyu and several attending physicians were also standing by, looking frustrated and helpless.
