Yang Can’s eyes shone with admiration: "Miss, do you have a way?"
"I have a pretty impressive friend. Let ask if he can get it." Lu Yutian started fiddling with her phone. Anyway, her thod was bound to be more reliable than anyone else present here.
If she couldn’t count on them, she’d just have to rely on herself.
"I’ll make a call first." Lu Yutian turned and headed to the end of the hallway.
Zero took off her mask, curled her red lips slightly in confusion, and looked towards Lu Mian: "Brother Mian, what now?"
"When is Mr. Lu’s surgery scheduled?" Lu Mian pulled out her phone.
Zero calculated, "They’re currently giving him an IV to stabilize his condition temporarily. I’ll need to discuss the surgical plan with the team, but within three hours, no problem."
"Alright." Lu Mian got the answer she wanted, glanced at the digital watch on her wrist, and dialed a number.
Yang Can and Yang Tao were completely baffled.
Was it possible that Lu Mian could get the special drug?
Before they could react, Lu Mian’s call had already connected.
Without any unnecessary words, she spoke directly: "Team Leader Pan, please imdiately send two vials of the RE Factor reagent to Jinjing. It’s urgent."
The person on the other end said sothing. Lu Mian nodded. "Alright, soone will be there to retrieve it."
She hung up the phone.
Lu Mian turned to Xiao Qimo and said, "Director Qi, can you arrange a private jet from the farm to Jinjing to transport the RE Factor?"
Finally being of use, Xiao Qimo didn’t hesitate. Without even making a call, he just sent a text ssage directly.
"Done."
Lu Mian nodded. "Good."
The crowd nearby: ... That’s it? It’s done?
That took less than a minute from start to finish!
Zero finally felt at ease. "Then I’ll go work on the surgical plan now."
She spoke as she moved, pulling Ye Jinwen along with her. "Co help."
"Right on it, Zero!"
"..."
Yang Can and Yang Tao, father and son, stood with their mouths agape, unable to believe it.
That was a special drug! After exhausting all their efforts, they couldn’t even find a single vial. Yet Lu Mian had settled it with a single phone call?
How was that possible?!
That speed—faster than buying cabbage at a market!
"People who act all high and mighty will slip up sooner or later," Yang Can mumbled under her breath, pouting. "We’d better wait for the Young Miss’s news instead..."
Lu Mian and the others couldn’t even be bothered to acknowledge Yang Can.
Yun Sang floated incredulously to Lu Mian’s side, repeating like a broken record: "Sis, you can really get the special drug?"
"Sis, is this for real?"
"Sis, is it really true?"
Lu Mian extended her pale finger and poked his shoulder, pushing him back a ter away.
"Do I look like I’m joking?"
Yun Sang was at a loss for words. "No, but the way you went about it, it seed like a joke..."
Lu Mian shot him a glare.
If it weren’t for the fact that the person lying on the bed was Yun Sang’s biological grandfather, she wouldn’t have gone to so much trouble to get the drug.
Fortunately, those around her were reliable and close, unlikely to press her for specific details.
——
anwhile, at the end of the hallway, Lu Yutian was whispering into her phone, speaking in a low voice.
"I don’t care how you do it. You must get the special drug as soon as possible."
The person on the other end said sothing, making Lu Yutian a little anxious. Her tone wasn’t very friendly either. "You’re so capable, yet you can’t even handle this? Last ti I asked you to investigate Lu Mian’s background, you ca back with nothing. What can you actually do?"
The other person’s voice filtered through the phone’s speaker, processed by a voice changer. Still, one could discern the cold indifference in their tone.
"There’s always soone better. There are plenty of things I can’t do."
"What’s your attitude? My father asked you to look after , and this is how you do it?"
Lu Yutian’s long-maintained deanor of being cultivated and composed had completely shattered. Keeping her voice low, she spoke with a slightly threatening note: "Don’t forget, our families have a cooperation agreent..."
The person on the other end paused before replying, "But I really can’t do it."
"How about this—if you can help get the special drug, I won’t bother you during my ti in Jinjing. Deal?"
Lu Yutian made her final concession.
In truth, Lu Yutian didn’t know who she was talking to. She only knew that the other party was part of IEG, and not just any mber—this person was the commander of Team Three. Their rank and influence were just below that of the leader and the commanders of Teams One and Two.
Their authority and ability were unimaginable to ordinary people.
The last ti she tried to investigate Lu Mian, she had gone through this person.
This was a bargaining chip given to her by her father, ant to handle difficult situations.
Her father had said that the Lu Family and Team Three’s family had a cooperation agreent. If she encountered trouble, she could directly contact this person to resolve it, so she wouldn’t feel isolated and helpless in Jinjing.
She was in trouble now. Her grandfather was lying in a hospital bed, urgently needing the special drug.
So she called the commander of Team Three.
If the IEG commander couldn’t get the special drug, then no one in the world could.
On the other end, the commander of Team Three seed hesitant, as if moved by her conditional offer.
"I’ll see what I can do. Wait for my update."
Lu Yutian finally sighed in relief. Since the other party said that, there was hope.
She reverted to her elegant, poised deanor and said with a smile, "Then I’ll trouble you. The sooner, the better."
"Even so, it’ll take at least a day."
"...Fine." Lu Yutian held back her frustration. "As long as you can get the drug, I’ll postpone the surgery for one day."
After hanging up, Lu Yutian stared through the window and exhaled deeply.
Since childhood, she had carried lofty expectations, shouldering pressure and burdens disproportionate to her age.
Her father had pinned all his hopes on her. Her brother’s intelligence and abilities were diocre, unable to match hers. The Lu Family could only rely on her.
She wanted to recruit Yun Sang as her right-hand man.
She wanted her uncle and aunt to fully support her in opening a branch company and developing new businesses.
She wanted the Lu Family to dominate not only foreign markets but also beco a leader in the dostic software and intelligent technology industries.
She wanted to wipe away the stigma of stealing achievents from her branch of the family and make them the pride of the industry.
However, after arriving in Jinjing, none of her plans had gone smoothly.
Whether it was winning over Yun Sang, cooperating with the Watson Consortium, or launching intelligent robots—none of it progressed as she had envisioned. The challenges were constant.
What’s more, her uncle and aunt were still searching for their long-lost daughter.
If they truly found her, her uncle’s family would be even less likely to support her! And the special treatnt she enjoyed as the Lu Family’s only girl would be taken away.
Thinking of this, Lu Yutian beca even more determined to get rid of her illegitimate sister Lu Mian first. Once she was out of the picture, everything could be sorted out within their family.
With this thought, Lu Yutian adjusted her clothes and restored her graceful, noble expression. She clicked her high heels back to the ergency room area.
Several people’s gazes naturally landed on her.
She waved her phone in her hand and said proudly to the group, "I’ve already made arrangents for the special drug."
