"what?"
Chen Bin immediately grasped the point of the conversation and asked quickly.
Zhou Ying shook her head with a sad look on her face, "I don't know, it's just a password box, not big, with a six-digit password lock on it. I don't know the password, so I can't open it at all."
"I understand. It seems that the two mutants are here for the contents of the lock box."
Chen Bin took a breath and said, "If I guess correctly, your ex-boyfriend was probably murdered because he was trying to protect the contents of the lockbox."
"What did you say! Is my ex-boyfriend..."
After hearing Chen Bin's words, Zhou Ying became even more excited and stood up from the sofa.
"Don't be nervous, it's just a guess, it may not be true."
Chen Bin held her shoulders and said, "Let's do this. When you get back, show me the lockbox and maybe I'll know what's going on."
"...Okay." Zhou Ying nodded calmly. Just at this time, her phone rang. When she looked at the caller ID, she found that it was Zheng Xin. She quickly stood up and said,
"Xiaoxin called me. She probably wanted to ask about my situation. How about you stay and listen together?"
"Forget it, just tell her what happened for me."
Chen Bin yawned. He really didn't want to face Zheng Xin's nagging at this time. The best friends probably had a lot of private things to say, so he got up and left, and ran to the hotel lobby to find a sofa to take a nap.
The room rates in star-rated hotels were too expensive. He didn't have the money to buy two rooms, so he had to give the only room to Zhou Ying and make do with it by himself.
Fortunately, it dawned soon, and Chen Bin did not forget what Dr. Huang told him. He immediately took the medicine he got there and took a taxi to Pang Tao's home.
On the way, he called Pang Tao. When the other party heard that it was Chen Bin who came to deliver the medicine in person, he immediately smiled and expressed his welcome.
After arriving at the place, Chen Bin got out of the taxi and saw three familiar figures standing at the door of the villa to greet him.
The person walking at the front was Pang Tao, holding in his arms a child with a tiger-like head and a thick head, who was his little nephew.
Behind Pang Tao was a beautiful woman with white skin and a graceful figure. She was Dr. Huang's student, Zhao Jia.
Chen Bin's eyes lit up, he walked up to the two of them and said in a slightly teasing tone, "You won't live together anymore, right?"
"Nonsense, where can it be?"
Zhao Jia couldn't help but roll her eyes at Chen Bin. The relationship between her and Pang Tao was indeed very good, but it was limited to the friendship between old classmates. If there was anything, she wouldn't have waited until now.
Pang Tao also smiled and said, "Zhao Jia is here to help. He will go with us to my eldest sister's recuperation place later."
Chen Bin said oh, then turned his eyes to the child in Pang Tao's arms. He couldn't help teasing him, and praised how cute he was, and then asked,
"Your eldest sister has been in a coma for three years, and the child has been left in your care?"
"No, most of the time the servants take care of me, but occasionally they come to my house to do homework." When talking about this topic, the smile on Pang Tao's face suddenly froze.
Chen Bin realized that he was talking too much and quickly said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
"fine."
Pang Tao adjusted his mood and pointed to the car next to him, "Let's go to Sister's nursing home together."
After getting in the car, Chen Bin got into the passenger seat, while Zhao Jia took Pang Tao's little nephew and sat in the back seat of the car.
While driving, Pang Tao talked to Chen Bin about his eldest sister.
"A few years ago, after the fossil was unearthed, the Pang family spent a lot of money to buy it and kept it in the laboratory warehouse."
At that time, Pang Tao was not in charge of the family's business, and the fossils had been managed by his eldest sister.
"My eldest sister is also studying biological sciences and will personally conduct some important experiments. There has never been any problems before. Until three years ago, when she was studying the fossil alone, she suddenly fainted for some reason and couldn't sleep. Wake up, it’s been going on for three full years now.”
Pang Tao has a very good relationship with his eldest sister. He has been trying to decipher the secret of the fossil in the past few years, but no matter how hard he studies, he can't come to any conclusion. He has no choice but to publish the fossil for an exhibition. He originally hoped to invite the elites in this industry. We made plans together. I didn’t expect so many things to happen at the last exhibition.
Chen Bin nodded thoughtfully, then smiled,
"Don't worry, Dr. Huang has agreed to help and asked me to bring him his latest reagent, which should be effective."
"I hope so."
Pang Tao smiled bitterly and shook his head, still with a worried look on his face.
It didn't take long for the three of them to go to the sanatorium. It was a very luxurious building. It was more like a large resort manor than a sanatorium.
The entire sanatorium is divided into several parts, with a dedicated experimental base, reception area and various recreational facilities.
There is an independent three-story attic building behind the nursing home. The security measures are quite tight, and there are several uniformed staff standing guard at the door.
Under the leadership of Pang Tao, Chen Bin followed him into the depths of the attic, walked through the long corridor, and then came to a very exquisite room.
Pang Tao stood outside the door and sighed to Chen Bin, "Ever since my eldest sister fell into coma, she has been placed inside. I only come here to take a look every now and then."
At this time, Pang Tao's little nephew suddenly tugged on his sleeve and said in a sweet voice, "Uncle, mom will get better soon."
"Well, I definitely will!"
Pang Tao forced out a smile, kissed his little nephew on the cheek, and called the staff here to take the children to play outside, and then opened the door to the room with a complicated expression.
The first thing that comes into view is a clean and bright room, about thirty square meters, with some flowers planted on the windowsill for decoration. The petals may have withered due to neglect.
As soon as he entered the room, Chen Bin caught an uncomfortable breath. It felt weird, but he couldn't describe what was strange.
He looked at the layout of the room. There was a hospital bed facing the window in the middle of the room. Lying on the bed was a middle-aged woman in her thirties. She was pretty and had delicate facial features, but her skin was dark yellow and her eye sockets were slightly sunken. , the hair is yellow and curly, and the haggard and sick look is distressing.
"Is this Pang Tao's eldest sister?"
Chen Bin frowned slightly and walked to the hospital bed to wait and see. I don't know if it was an illusion. As the distance got closer, Chen Bin actually caught a rather cold breath on this female patient. Her whole body felt like she was in a cellar, every pore They all felt the uncomfortable cold.
The closer he got to the hospital bed, the stronger the cold aura became, making Chen Bin's hair stand on end.
On the other hand, Pang Tao and Zhao Jia were completely unaware and did not appear uncomfortable at all.
Chen Bin stopped, feeling very puzzled, but he didn't hesitate to ask more questions, so he took out the reagent given by Dr. Huang and handed it to Zhao Jia.
"Come and give her the injection."
Zhao Jia nodded, took the reagent, walked slowly towards the woman on the bed, and slowly injected the medicine into the woman's arm, which was as skinny as a bamboo pole.
Chen Bin and Pang Tao stared at the patient's reaction with wide eyes.
As the medicine was injected, the woman still had no reaction. The only thing that made Chen Bin feel strange was that the cold aura emanating from her body seemed to become more obvious.
At first, Chen Bin thought it was because the air conditioner in the room was turned on too low, but now he finally confirmed that the aura that made him feel extremely uncomfortable was emanating from this woman who had been sleeping for many years!
