Chapter 400 Investigation Ends
Finally, unable to persuade Qimingxing any further, Ling turned her attention to Yixuan, hoping that Yixuan could help her persuade Qimingxing not to go to such a dangerous place.
At the same moment, the instant Ling turned her head, Yi Xuan had already composed himself and said seriously, "It's alright, let her come along."
Even Ju Fufu couldn't stand it anymore and quickly told Yi Xuan to take back what she had just said and properly persuade Qi Mingxing.
Yi Xuan then remembered that Ju Fufu didn't usually watch live streams, so naturally she didn't know what had happened that day.
So he changed his approach and said that he had just consulted the oracle, and that not only would Qiming not be in trouble when he went to investigate the production accident, but it would also help them gain more.
“Since you’ve said so, Master… then I have no objections. But Miss Morning Star and Mr. Lor, please make sure you stay close to me so I can protect you properly.”
Seeing that Tachibana Fukufu had said so, Rin, as the junior sister, naturally didn't say anything more. She could only sigh and start leading everyone to the coordinates Eric had mentioned.
Along the way, Ling also began to obtain information from Dr. Lor, who also frankly told her everything he knew.
This included how he found the abandoned production line, and how he then researched it and spent money to ask friends for help in modifying it, which led to the successful production of a low-cost corrosion inhibitor, which Dr. Lor called the "Forget-Me-Not Water".
Kiana became interested in the idea that the workers could enjoy affordable treatment and forget their troubles, so she asked Dr. Lor if he had any forgetfulness potion on him.
Yes, we do. Is there a problem?
"It's nothing, I was just thinking that Dr. Lor managed to reduce the cost of the corrosion inhibitor. You know, the materials needed for the corrosion inhibitor happen to contain a certain component of pyroxene ore, and it's the irreplaceable kind. And that's the real reason why the production cost of the corrosion inhibitor remains so high."
Upon hearing Kiana's words, Dr. Lor frowned and asked, "So, what is Miss Morning Star trying to say?"
"Hehe, could you sell me a bottle of your Forget-Me-Not Water?"
"Oh?" Dr. Lorre perked up upon hearing this. "Could it be that Miss Morning Star is also suffering from the Erosion Syndrome?"
"No, but I do have a friend who has erosion, so I was thinking if I could buy a bottle from you to take home and try."
"Oh, so you're a friend. I understand, I understand. In that case, I'll give you a bottle for free."
"This...isn't this inappropriate?"
"It's alright. This Forget-Me-Not Water is still in its newly invented state. To promote it, we need to make a name for it first. But it's not a long-term solution to keep it confined to Weifei. It just so happens that your friend, Morning Star, is suffering from erosion disease, and I need to make a name for my Forget-Me-Not Water. It's a win-win situation, isn't it?"
As she spoke, she took out a bottle of purple potion from her handbag. Kiana took the bottle of purple potion, which was called the Water of Forgetfulness, and began to examine it.
They accepted it with smiles on their faces, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the scene of the accident. The group began to search for clues.
The investigation eventually confirmed that the production accident was indeed very similar to a chain reaction caused by an outbreak of corrosion disease, and Dr. Lor also detected quality problems in the abandoned, unopened corrosion inhibitor.
However, to confirm whether it was true, they needed to go back and conduct detailed tests. So, the group carefully picked up the well-preserved, unopened corrosion inhibitors from the ground and handed them to Dr. Lor before starting their return journey.
Upon returning to Chenghuiping, Dr. Luo immediately stated that he needed to send the medicine to the professional institution where his friend worked for testing, and the results should be available by the afternoon if all went well.
After Dr. Lor left, Rin finally couldn't contain her curiosity and asked Kiana if what she had said earlier was true.
“I don’t have a friend like that.” Kiana shook her head and then took out the bottle of Forget-Me-Not. “Actually, I thought there was something strange about this Forget-Me-Not, so I lied and asked him to give me a bottle so I could analyze the ingredients.”
Yi Xuan asked, "I see. But how did Miss Morning Star determine that there was definitely something wrong with this Forget-Me-Not Potion?"
"Actually, I can't be sure that there's something wrong with this potion of forgetfulness, but my intuition as an intelligence dealer tells me that there's something fishy going on."
“Indeed, upon closer examination, the fact that the corrosion inhibitor requires a certain component from pyroxene ore to make the solution is no secret. Even Mr. Otto couldn't solve this problem, so how could an ordinary doctor possibly overcome it?” Ling agreed.
"That's why I need to obtain a bottle of Forget-Me-Not Water. Only in this way can I use my connections to thoroughly investigate its ingredients."
"So... Miss Morning Star, you suspect that Dr. Lor has ulterior motives?" Yi Xuan asked.
Kiana nodded and said, "That's right. After all, it just so happens that there are ways to provide low-cost treatment and to do everything possible to help workers get compensation at this time. Although it's not good to suspect people casually, it's all too coincidental."
“Indeed, better safe than sorry,” Yi Xuan agreed. “Anyway, whether he has other motives or not, we will be able to get the information we want this afternoon. Miss Qiming, you will need to put in more effort to find out the ingredients of the Forget-Me-Not Water.”
"Of course! Don't worry, I'll definitely get it sorted out for you!"
After saying that, Kiana turned and left. In fact, Kiana already knew the ingredients of the Forget-Me-Not Potion the moment she got her hands on it, but in order not to make too much of a fuss, she needed to wait a while and produce a very professional-looking report to increase its credibility.
After all, the identity of the Morning Star is just that of an intelligence broker who has no power to kill a chicken. He is completely clueless about pharmacology and it is really not appropriate to say it in public.
Moreover, she wanted to take this opportunity to help those who had already used the Forget-Me-Not Water, to help them regulate their bodies and cleanse the impurities accumulated in their bodies.
Yes, one of the ingredients that makes up this Water of Forgetfulness is Filth. Although Filth does have the effect of suppressing the erosion, it is only a superficial disguise.
This specially treated foul breath will accumulate and lie dormant in the user's body, waiting for the right opportunity to be triggered all at once.
At that time, a large-scale leak of foul air from the void will inevitably occur, and by then it will be too late.
Kiana, who could come up with such a method, could only think of one organization. Without a doubt, the friend that Dr. Lor mentioned was a member of the Praise Society, and he himself might even be a member of the Praise Society!
