Chapter 282 - 280: Contributing to the Advancement of Human Medicine

Yang Xun clicked open his email and skimmed through the pages of information, his brows gradually knitting together.

Su Mei, a Zhonghai local, had no registered properties or businesses under her name, yet her bank statements were highly active with frequent, large-sum transactions. Her registered address was in an old residential building, but according to neighbors, she hadn’t lived there in a long time. She had no steady job, yet frequented high-end venues and constantly switched between luxury cars.

This woman was definitely not simple.

Yang Xun put his phone away and headed downstairs after a quick wash. Xu Yue had already left for work; she was bound to be incredibly busy during this period. He realized his plan had to be put on hold for now. With Xu Yue so swamped, she wouldn’t have time to visit the bathhouse. He would have to wait until this busy spell passed before luring her over to witness the affair.

Zhao Linglong was sitting in the living room, looking to be in good spirits. Seeing him come down, she asked, "Dr. Yang, do you still have to go to work today?"

"Yes. Will you be okay at home by yourself?" Yang Xun replied while eating his breakfast.

Zhao Linglong nodded with a smile. "Of course. I’ll go hang out with Xiaocai. She’s super outgoing, and we’ve already made plans to go shopping this afternoon."

"That girl has been sick for a long time and doesn’t have many friends around," Yang Xun said. "Get along well with her."

After finishing breakfast, Yang Xun changed his clothes and left the house.

The moment he reached the entrance of the bathhouse, he spotted Yang Cai squatting on the steps, clutching a small bottle. Seeing him arrive, she immediately stood up, her eyes sparkling.

"Brother Yang, you’re finally here! I’ve been waiting for you for so long!"

Yang Xun paused his steps, letting out a sigh of relief only after confirming he was wearing his mask. His gaze landed on the bottle in her hands, and his mouth twitched slightly. So the little girl was here to pick up the goods again. Having been away for the past few days, he had completely forgotten about this matter.

"Let’s go inside first," Yang Xun lowered his voice and quickly walked into the bathhouse.

Yang Cai followed close behind, slipping into the lounge like a little tail. As soon as they entered, she couldn’t wait to shove the small bottle into his hand. "You weren’t around the past few days, and the stock over there is almost gone. Hurry up and get me a bottle!"

Yang Xun took the bottle and gave her a helpless look. "This isn’t something that can be rushed. Go outside first."

"Let me help you; it’ll be faster that way," Yang Cai shyly leaned closer, her small face turning slightly red.

Yang Xun froze for a moment, suddenly feeling a surge of annoyance. He thought, "What on earth are you messing around with all day, girl?" To actually offer to help a strange man relieve himself—if his animalistic instincts flared up, wouldn’t she be the one suffering a loss?

"No need, I can do it myself."

Hearing this, Yang Cai spoke confidently and reasonably, "But the lady at the front desk told me this is more efficient. You have clients later, so I can’t delay your time."

Yang Xun took a deep breath, feeling like he would lose ten years of his life if he continued arguing with her.

"If you still want it, hurry up and wait outside. I’ll do it myself." Saying that, he pushed Yang Cai out of the lounge and shut the door behind her.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, he looked down at the visibly larger bottle in his hand and sighed helplessly before starting the manual operation. But for whatever reason, he struggled for a long time today without any sign of release.

Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside. Yang Xun’s hand trembled in fright. He instinctively covered his crotch and looked up, only to find that the person who entered was actually Song Xiaohua. He breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn’t Yang Cai.

Song Xiaohua clearly already knew what he was doing. Her cheeks were slightly flushed, but she didn’t avert her gaze. Instead, she took two steps forward with a hint of curiosity.

"Brother Yang, what are you doing?"

Yang Xun coughed awkwardly and quickly pulled at his hem. "Why did you come in?"

"Oh, I passed by and saw Yang Cai waiting at the door, so I asked her a couple of questions. She said you were busy inside, so I wanted to come in and help you," Song Xiaohua said, glancing at his lower body again, her voice carrying a teasing smile. "It looks like you’re not having a very smooth time! You promised before that you’d let me touch it when you had time. Why not let me touch it now? I can even help you relieve yourself. Isn’t that killing two birds with one stone?"

Looking at her watery eyes and that round face with a mischievous smile, Yang Xun hesitated for a few seconds before finally nodding helplessly. "Fine, but don’t go blabbing to anyone else."

Song Xiaohua grinned broadly, quickly walking up to him and squatting down. "Don’t worry, my lips are sealed."

Half an hour later, Yang Xun finally let out a heavy breath in relief and handed the bottle filled with "tadpoles" to Song Xiaohua. "Give this to her for me and tell her to leave quickly."

Song Xiaohua took the bottle, her fingers rubbing against the glass. She asked curiously, "What does a little girl like her want with this stuff? Could there be some magical use for it?"

"She’s a medical student and needs it for an experiment. The young girl is thin-skinned and has never been in a relationship, so this was the only solution she could think of," Yang Xun lied with a straight face, even elevating his own image. "I guess you could say I’m making a contribution to the progress of human medicine."

Song Xiaohua nodded thoughtfully, not doubting him in the slightest. She just smiled and said, "Then if she comes again next time, I can help out too. I’ll contribute my own effort."

Yang Xun didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at her words. This girl was getting addicted to touching it.

After sending Yang Cai off, he got busy with work. He had two clients booked for today, both regulars, and they were very satisfied with his services. Although there were no special services, he still absorbed quite a bit of Primordial Yin Qi, providing his body with immense nourishment.

While eating lunch, Yang Xun was scrolling through his phone when he suddenly saw a pushed news notification. The headline glared at him: Ninghua Cream Accused of Containing Illegal Ingredients! Multiple Consumers Report Allergic Reactions!

Yang Xun’s expression instantly changed. He set down his chopsticks, clicked on the news, and quickly skimmed through it, his brows knitting tighter the more he read. The article stated that the new product launched by Xu Yue’s company had received numerous complaints. The health department had already intervened to investigate, suspecting the product contained excessive heavy metals and illegal additives.

He thought, "Someone is setting her up."

Yang Xun put down his phone and immediately dialed Xu Yue’s number. No one answered. He called two more times, but it was still a busy tone. Without further hesitation, he got up, walked outside, and flagged down a taxi, heading straight for Xu Yue’s company.

When the taxi pulled up downstairs at Xu Yue’s company, Yang Xun could see a crowd gathered at the entrance from afar. They were holding up signs with scribbled yet striking words: False Advertising, Return Our Hard-Earned Money! Heartless Merchants, Toxic Products!

A few security guards were struggling to maintain order, but the crowd was only growing larger, with some people even holding up their phones to livestream.

Yang Xun couldn’t squeeze his way in, but he was truly worried about Xu Yue.
