"It's not a Blue Flash butterfly." Ai ShuQiao corrected me, "It's a subspecies of the Blue Flash butterfly, the Blue Moor Armenia butterfly."
"It doesn't matter if it's a Blue Flash butterfly or a Yamete butterfly." I yelled into the phone, "What's important is what are you planning to do with the $500,000 bounty? Don't tell me it's for collection! "
"To make new drugs." Ai ShuQiao gave me a simple answer and explained before I asked any further questions:
"You probably heard from various sources that I'm not satisfied with the entertainment industry, so I'm trying to make a breakthrough in the pharmaceutical industry …"
"It's not just the pharmaceutical industry, right?" I mocked, "Aren't you also working with gangs to sell firearms?"
"You can't speak carelessly. Also, firearms business has a high threshold. Even if I have some connections, I can't compete with the largest firearms dealer, the US government. The pharmaceutical industry is more reliable."
I suddenly realized that Ai ShuQiao had a plan to recruit Professor Yu's senior, the 'Poison King', to her side a long time ago.
"What kind of medicine is the Blue Flash butterfly used for? It's highly toxic! I almost died immediately after eating it! "
"Every medicine has poison. An appropriate amount of arsenic can treat rheumatoid arthritis, but an excessive amount of steroids can kill people. The Blue Flash butterfly is highly toxic, so it can't be used as medicine in its original form. It has to be refined and processed … Eating it directly like you is a reckless move."
Hmph! So what if I eat it! This is Sparta! We Sparta are brave and fearless!
"The reason why I posted a reward on the 'Butterfly Collector' forum was to prevent people in the medical field from realizing the medicinal value of the blue flash butterfly subspecies. The second reason was that the blue flash butterfly subspecies was extremely rare. It would be difficult to capture a live butterfly unless one was a professional."
I became suspicious. "From what you're saying, you already knew that the Blue Flash Butterfly subspecies has medicinal value? How did you know? "
"Ha, I'll have to thank your father."
I instantly thought of He Ling's father, He Gousheng.
Don't misunderstand, this is different from the movie 'Big Head Son, Small Head Father' where the son doesn't look like his father, but he looks like Uncle Wang next door.
I only remembered that my dad once told me that he had come to Cuisong Mountain with his roommates (including He Gousheng) during his university days. He had even seen a species that looked like a Blue Flash Butterfly.
Did he really bring Ai ShuQiao along at that time? At that time, he would never have thought that his girlfriend would abandon him like a rag in the future!
"You've seen Blue Flash Butterflies in Emerald Pine Mountain?" I blurted out. "Maybe you even caught one alive!"
"Unfortunately, you guessed wrong." Ai ShuQiao seemed to be holding her phone as she turned over on the bed. Her tone was slightly lazy. "Ye YuanFeng didn't bring me along to Cuisong Mountain. He only picked up a dead Blue Flash Butterfly's wing. He thought it was very beautiful, so he gave it to me as a gift. I admit that I was quite happy at that time."
"But I didn't keep the wing. Instead, I ground it into fine powder in a grinder and analyzed its chemical composition. By the way, you should already know that I majored in organic chemistry, right?"
Who knows! My dad never told me, and I never asked … So I am the descendant of a physics teacher and a chemistry teacher! No wonder I can learn science so easily. It turns out that I have such a heaven-defying inheritance!
"The chemical composition of this wing is very interesting … Looking at its molecular structure under an electron microscope is more fascinating than looking at the beautiful blue wing directly. But later on, I got my hands on a few live Blue Flash Butterflies, but I couldn't find the same molecular structure no matter how hard I tried. Later on, I realized that the wing that Ye YuanFeng gave me came from a subspecies of Blue Flash Butterfly. "
I don't know why, but Ai ShuQiao seemed to be in a particularly good mood today. She couldn't help but talk non-stop.
"Even when I arrived in America, I still couldn't forget the wonderful molecular structure. Later on, I showed the molecular structure to Klinger, and he said that this structure was unique in nature. If we can get a living subspecies of Blue Flash Butterfly, we might be able to develop a revolutionary new drug."
When I heard the European name "Klinger", my first reaction was that he was a German soccer player. But I soon realized that Klinger was referring to Dr. Yu's senior, the leader of the Three Swordsmen at Stanford University.
Among the Three Swordsmen, the "King of Poison" Klinger was the closest to Ai ShuQiao. The two of them also cooperated the earliest. It must be because of Ai ShuQiao that he wasn't willing to give me the antidote.
"Just say it. What do you and Klinger need my blood for? What kind of harmful drug do you want to develop? "
"Don't be so extreme. Businessmen are after profit. If we can develop a special drug to cure cancer, why would we use dishonest methods to harm people?"
"The Blue Flash Butterfly's poison can cure cancer?"
"It's a subspecies, and don't forget the 'if' in my previous sentence. In short, if we use the Blue Flash Butterfly as a research subject, we might be able to develop a special drug that can't be found on the market. My pharmaceutical department would be able to amaze the world. The profits of the pharmaceutical industry aren't any less than the arms trade, and it's easier to manage than the entertainment industry. It's already very exhausting for me to manage your sister. "
Is that why you wanted to make a deal with me? Once we make a breakthrough in the research of the Blue Flash Butterfly, the value of Ai Mi and other celebrities won't be that important, right?
"Hey! I'm not a Blue Flash Butterfly, I'm a human that ate a Blue Flash Butterfly! "I complained," You're so rich, you can always catch other Blue Moor Armenians! Go to Armenia and catch them! Why are you targeting me? "
Ai ShuQiao sneered: "Do you think I haven't caught other Blue Flash Butterflies? Just a week ago, the Armenians sent two live butterflies at once, and I did observe the special molecular structure, but — "
"The toxicity is too strong. Even Klinger can't neutralize that kind of toxicity. Once the toxicity is forcibly neutralized, the medicinal value will be reduced to the level of normal saline. Just as we were feeling frustrated, we found a breakthrough in the frozen blood sample sent by Dr. Yu."
"After passing through your digestive system, the poison of the Blue Flash Butterfly was diluted in your blood, but the medicinal value did not decrease because of that, but instead increased. That's why I said that you're now a better experimental material than a live butterfly. As long as you provide us with enough blood samples, it won't take too long for us to develop a priceless new drug. "
"A new drug for euthanasia?" I still had my doubts. "Professor Yu showed me the video of the experiment on the mice. When the extract is injected into the mice twice, they will die after half an hour of pleasure."
"Ye Lin, are you trying to say that euthanasia drugs have no value? It's only a rough purification, but it already has this kind of effect … It's hard to imagine what it can do after complex processing. At the very least, it can be a super painkiller that can greatly improve the quality of life of terminal cancer patients. "
"I don't believe you care about cancer patients! Are you really only going to use my blood to develop a painkiller? "
"Nonsense, of course I don't care about cancer patients! But a super effective painkiller can help me open up a smooth path in the pharmaceutical industry! Ai Mi won't always be popular as an idol, but humans will always need painkillers! "
I was speechless for a moment. Ai ShuQiao's reason was indeed sufficient. Regardless of whether I stole the causality calculation program from Fang Xin or not, my potential value in her eyes was not inferior to Ai Mi's because my blood was an indispensable material for developing a super painkiller.
Was this a blessing in disguise? Although I fell into a bear trap and ate a Blue Flash Butterfly to satisfy my hunger, I almost died and suffered from a viral heart disease. But in the end, I gained some initiative and Ai ShuQiao had no choice but to rope me in. She didn't even hesitate to use Ai Mi's freedom to exchange for it.
I never thought the difficult task of saving my sister would be accomplished through such an inconceivable method. I originally thought I would have to fight a protracted battle with little hope for many years, but the dawn of victory was right in front of me! I didn't need to harm anyone, I just needed to copy a program from the great trickster Fang Xin and let Dr. Yu draw some of my blood on time!
Although Ai ShuQiao might be insatiably greedy and never let Klinger cure my heart disease, I'm not an idiot. As long as she doesn't let Ai Mi completely leave the entertainment industry and doesn't give Ai Mi her freedom, I can go on strike! I can even drink too much and take the risk of becoming brainless to eliminate the Blue Flash Butterfly toxin in my body. That way, my blood can no longer be used!
Ai ShuQiao, didn't you tell me not to drink because you were afraid of this?
I felt like I already had the initiative, so I verbally reached a deal with Ai ShuQiao that was related to Ai Mi's freedom.
She said she would give me the necessary support after I entered the Scientific Happiness Church. I would give her a copy of the causality calculation program, which would be considered as completing half of the deal.
The other half of the deal was that I would continue to provide blood samples for Dr. Yu and Klinger to study. When I handed over the causality calculation program, Ai ShuQiao would stop all of Ai Mi's commercial performances other than the filming of "The Magic Cauldron".
Once a new drug was created using my blood and entered the market, Ai Mi could officially announce her retirement from the entertainment industry. Ai ShuQiao promised not to interfere with our lives and would even use the profits of the pharmaceutical company to give us a monthly bonus.
Although I didn't trust Ai ShuQiao, I still felt that it was worth a try since the decision to donate blood was in my hands. Since Ai ShuQiao had come to find me, it meant that she couldn't replicate the same situation as me. She didn't die after eating the Blue Flash Butterfly.
I admit I was overly optimistic and a bit thoughtless.
I was the only person in the world who didn't die after eating a Blue Flash Butterfly, but Ai ShuQiao clearly didn't need to make a deal with me. With her ruthlessness, she could easily kidnap me, hide me in a secret place for the rest of my life, and use me as an actual "experiment material".
She didn't kidnap me because she needed me to infiltrate the Scientific Happiness Church and steal the causality calculation program. But the main reason was hidden from me.
While hiding this reason, she became more considerate towards me in various aspects. If I didn't know her well, I might mistakenly think she found her conscience and wanted to compensate me for the motherly love she owed me.
I didn't understand why she did this. She clearly knew I wouldn't truly reconcile with her just because she showed a bit of kindness.
But no matter what, Ai ShuQiao inexplicably started to protect me, as if my good mood was extremely important to her as a biological mother.
