Rebirth: Once Again With You

"There is a way."

Chu Kong's words got her revived again. Then, he casually pointed at the red capsule inside the plastic bag. "This isn't much, but I tried to make a medicine that imitated your blood's attributes. I used the sample you gave me last time. But even after that, I could only manage to make one."

Meng Renshu also stared at the medicine curiously. "And this medicine is supposed to be able to help Xiaohua's condition."

"This is merely a prototype, so further research is necessary. Theoretically, although this medicine can't cure her, it should be able to lessen the burden on her brain at least. I still need to monitor the reaction Li Chunhua will give after taking this."

Meng Renshu frowned. "I'm sorry, but I won't allow you to give Xiaohua that medicine with that kind of explanation. What if it made her condition worsen?"

Chu Kong didn't answer and only turned his head to Detective Tang, which had been silent since earlier. "Your suspicion is reasonable. Then, why don't you take this medicine to be analyzed first? As long as it got the approval from your people, it shouldn't be a problem for you, right?"

Meng Renshu considered his proposal. A knowing smile crept up on his face. "You are very cunning, Detective."

Li Caiyi, who couldn't understand what happened, stared at them alternately in confusion. Meng Renshu opened his hand in front of Chu Kong, urging the latter to give the plastic bag to him.

"I'll play along with you two for the time being. Don't worry. I'm not that stupid to use Meng Pharmaceutical company to analyze this. I'll ask an acquaintance of mine for this small favor instead."

Detective Tang grinned widely. "Your intelligence saved a lot of time for us. I hope you won't get offended by this, and we are looking forward to future cooperation from you."

Meng Renshu nodded briefly as he shoved the plastic bag into his pocket. "Is there anything else we need to know?"

"After you finished analyzing the medicine, Kong needed to observe Li Chunhua's reaction so he could improve the formula. And to do that, we'll need a sample of her blood and from the little miss as well."

Meng Renshu pondered a bit before he shifted his gaze to Li Caiyi. "When was Xiaohua's last check-up at the hospital?"

"Oh! I remember it was a month ago. She'll need to go to the hospital again within this week."

Meng Renshu nodded. "Then I will ask the doctor in charge to give some of her blood samples when she comes for a check-up."

"Ah, that's a really brilliant idea! Everything becomes easier when we have a powerful person on our side." Detective Tang said flatteringly.

Li Caiyi was also dumbstruck. He had just been informed about everything today, and yet he quickly grasped the core problem and actively made a plan to tackle it. He had complete control of the situation, and he didn't hesitate when he made his decision.

Li Caiyi felt she could see a glimpse of his adult version in his teenage self. His experience as the CEO undoubtedly trained him to be able to develop a plan even in the direst situation. Meng Renshu didn't inherit the company only because he was the son of the Chairman. He proved himself worthy of sitting in that position.

Once again, she had a newfound respect for him.

"Then Xiaoyi, sorry, but do you think you can donate some of your blood again? Will you be fine?" Meng Renshu asked guiltily. "I hope there is a way without having to burden you, but your blood is the key to solving this problem."

"Don't worry! You know I'm as healthy as a bull. Mr. Chu, please draw my blood as much as you please!"

"As much as I appreciate your enthusiasm, that'll be bad, little miss. We'll take just the right amount for his research."

"Yes!"

While Chu Kong drew the blood from her arm using the same method as before, Li Caiyi glimpsed Detective Tang and Meng Renshu. The conversation between them seemed very serious, considering the slight frown on their faces.

Li Caiyi felt she had been left out of the loop. She wanted to listen to what they were saying but couldn't move from her seat.

"Hey, Mr. Chu. Will the cure for my sister's condition take long before it is finally completed?"

"It won't be easy. But I'll make sure to do it as fast as possible."

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to pressure you or anything." Li Caiyi felt apologetic now.

"You are impatient because your sister is very important to you. I understand, and I plan to do everything I can to help her too."

His voice sounded rather sad. Was he trying to comfort her just now?

Li Caiyi hadn't talked much with him, but she always had a gut feeling that Chu Kong was a kind person. Now that she thought about it again, maybe it was because he somewhat resembled Dai Zhiqiang with the way he silently watched and cared for people around him.

Li Caiyi sighed inwardly. It had been almost a week since she had been avoiding him. She was so upset that she became stubborn. Perhaps she should at least give him a chance to explain once again.

"There, it's done." Chu Kong said. "Make sure to eat food that contains irons after this."

"Yes. Thank you, Mr. Chu."

"Are you done?" Meng Renshu came over and checked on Li Caiyi's condition. "Do you feel dizzy or uncomfortable anywhere?"

"Brother Renshu. I'm fine. You worry too much."

"I can't help it. You have a bad habit of hiding your pain, after all."

After that, they bid goodbye to Chu Kong and returned to the surface. To avoid a scene like before, Li Caiyi followed closely behind Detective Dang and gripped the edge of his sleeve before Meng Renshu could offer his hand again.

Thankfully, Meng Renshu didn't try to pursue the issue.

"Ah, it feels great to see the sun again. So, what are your plans after this? I can give you guys a ride home if you want."

Li Caiyi politely refused. Since the false rumor about her was spread, she promised not to randomly go inside another person's car. She was thinking of taking a bus and probably visiting the hospital.

She had been so busy that she didn't have time to visit Dai Bolin. Maybe talking to the older man would give her a clue on how to deal with Dai Zhiqiang.

"I also have to politely decline your offer too. My chauffeur will be here any moment to pick me up." Meng Renshu said politely.

"Alright, if you say so." Detective Tang shrugged before waving his hand and entering his car. It drove off and quickly disappeared from sight.

Suddenly being left along with Meng Renshu made her feel awkward. She carefully glanced at him before asking, "You seem to be taking everything well."

"Whatever do you mean?"

"No. It's just you seem to be pretty calm about this. Almost alarmingly so."

Meng Renshu laughed dryly. "Did I look like I have my act together? I'm glad, then. I can't show weakness in front of people I can't trust yet."

That was so like him. Li Caiyi sometimes felt bad for him. He enjoyed abundant wealth and the best lifestyle anyone could ever wish for, yet he had to always walk on his toes. Being constantly watched and targeted, he couldn't allow himself to relax at all.
