Lei Xiao was taken aback. He instinctively replied. "I'm... not really busy."
"Uh huh. I'm going back now. I'll call you later." Huo Yao pretended not to hear him. She waved at him and turned to walk into the estate.
Lei Xiao stood on the spot and watched Huo Yao walk away. Then he picked up the suitcase and got into the car. After fastening his seatbelt, he suddenly realized something.
They were just meeting, but Huo Yao did not mention having dinner with them.
Lei Xiao raised his head and looked out the window. There was no one in sight at the entrance of the estate. He scratched his head and started the engine in the end.

The next morning, Huo Yao received the blood test results from Lei Xiao.
He sent her a picture of the data along with a few audio recordings. Since Huo Yao was in class, she only clicked on the pictures and did not listen to the audio recordings.
As she expected, the total number of white blood cells in the blood was low, and the radiation was extremely high.
This radioactive source was not a natural radioactive element, but an artificial one. Once this element exceeded a certain standard, it would cause damage to the human immune system, and people with physical problems would suffer from chronic radiation sickness.
Hence, Fang Chen's illness was not a normal disease. It was mainly due to the radiation source.
The radiation source was related to the things the patient came into contact with, so Huo Yao was not interested in it. She was only interested in the illness.
This was because the current medical technology was far from being able to treat chronic radiation sickness.
Fang Chen was the perfect candidate for her to try out the cutting-edge methods.
Huo Yao replied to Lei Xiao with a 'thank you' before putting her phone away.

At noon, Lei Xiao pondered for a while before he called Huo Yao again.
He had already tested the blood sample last night. He found the data unbelievable, so he did not send it to Huo Yao last night.
After he arrived at the research institute, he went to look through the files. Although he did not find any information on the radiation source, he vaguely remembered that the institute had done some research on it.
It seemed that the radiation source had been used improperly in an experiment and almost caused a huge mistake. Several researchers were fired at the time, and the institute's director even banned the research.
"Hey, where did you get the blood sample?" This was the first thing Lei Xiao asked after the call went through.
Huo Yao was still eating. She mumbled, "What's wrong?"
Lei Xiao listened to the faint voice on the other end of the phone and suddenly fell silent for two seconds. "It's nothing. Blood tests usually have high levels of radiation. Basically, only people who have been exposed to radiation have it. I'm just curious about the origin of your blood sample."
Huo Yao did not reply to Lei Xiao.
Lei Xiao paused and did not pursue the matter. He only reminded, "No matter what, be careful."
Huo Yao rubbed her chopsticks and replied softly. "I know."
After chatting for a while, the two of them ended the call.
Huo Yao hung up and contemplated for a while before putting her phone away.

On the other side, in the Academic Affairs Building.
After Qi Hui came back from Academician Liu's office, he spent half an hour in his office organizing the documents. He put a key experimental document into a sealed bag and then walked out of the office with the sealed bag.
He went upstairs to the reference room.
