Chapter 1819 So, we're just waiting for you to fall into the trap!
In the office on the fifth floor of Nianwei Hospital.
The aroma of tea wafted through the air, and the fruits were plentiful. Li Xiangnan had been sitting in his seat waiting for quite some time.
Soon, Xu Jiaxin, dressed in a smart business suit, rushed over in a hurry.
"Dean Li, you finally remembered me! You promised me an exclusive interview after Chen Hanguo's case was over!"
Li Xiangnan poured her a cup of tea and said with a smile, "I just learned how to make Gongfu tea. Try it, it's Biluochun!"
After saying this, he said with an apologetic look, "I'm so sorry, Reporter Xu. Things have been one after another lately. I thought I could rest for a while after returning from Nanwan, but unfortunately, I was delayed again! I asked you out today for two reasons: first, to fulfill my promise and tell you what I promised to tell you; and second, because I really have something I'd like to ask for your help with!"
"Dean Li," Xu Jiaxin said with great admiration, "you always make sure my trip is worthwhile!"
"Hahaha!" Hearing a hint of 'complaint' in her tone, the two looked at each other and laughed.
However, knowing Li Xiangnan's character, Xu Jiaxin quickly took out her notebook, ready to take notes, and said with great anticipation, "Then please tell me about Chen Hanguo first, I'm so curious!"
Li Xiangnan pondered for a moment, his gaze seemingly traveling through time, returning once again to that bizarre and agonizing case.
From the initial discovery of Chen Hanguo's personality disorder by doctors in Nanwan Province, to the entire expert team meticulously uncovering his second personality, and then to the discovery upon his return to Nanwan Province that he was connected to an old case.
Finally, there, they had a dialogue with another soul on a psychological level, and successfully uncovered the case from back then, solving the problem that had plagued the entire southern Anhui province.
He did not hide the strangeness and inexplicable aspects of it, and even revealed many of the illogical parts without reservation.
Xu Jiaxin was also informed of Chen Hanguo's transformation, his final calm, and the signs of improvement in his mental illness.
Xu Jiaxin listened intently, her pen moving rapidly across the paper. She would look up from time to time, and occasionally take a sip of tea out of nervousness, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
After Li Xiangnan finished recounting the whole story, she couldn't help but put down her pen and take a deep breath.
"Dean Li, according to you... there really is another soul inside him? That's too bizarre!"
Li Xiangnan picked up his teacup, gently blew on the tea foam, and shook his head with a deep yet calm gaze.
"There are some things I don't know either. Science has its limits, and human understanding is constantly expanding. Perhaps one day in the future, we will find a perfect answer to all the phenomena that we cannot explain now. As for Chen Hanguo's case, instead of obsessively exploring his soul, we should reflect on the lessons this case teaches us! Human nature is complex!"
He paused here, looking meaningfully at reporter Xu across from him, and said, "Perhaps time will give us all the answers to the truth."
Xu Jiaxin nodded thoughtfully. As a senior reporter at CCTV, she had encountered countless news stories, but this was the first time she had heard such a bizarre and thought-provoking story.
Such stories, with their underlying depth and humanistic concern, undoubtedly possess immense news value!
"Thank you so much, Dean Li, for sharing the inside story with me!" Xu Jiaxin knew the weight of his words and said without any hesitation, "It's all thanks to you that the wronged souls from back then were able to find the truth. You are an amazing person!"
"Don't say that! I was just completing the task assigned by my superiors!" Li Xiangnan put down his teacup, completely absolving himself of any credit, then changed the subject seriously, saying, "But, Reporter Xu, as I just mentioned, there's actually another favor I'd like to ask you for!"
"I'll listen to your story in exchange for a favor. I'm willing to help! It's obviously worth it!" Xu Jiaxin said without a care. "But what kind of thing is it that's worth you asking, you big boss?"
"Haha!" Li Xiangnan laughed before saying, "In my capacity as the head of the pharmaceutical factory, I would like to invite you to help report on the pharmaceutical factory and the snake venom research institute!"
"Huh?" Xu Jiaxin was slightly taken aback, then sighed, "This isn't really a favor! What you've done is a good thing that benefits the country and its people, and we in the media have a responsibility to publicize it!"
Li Xiangnan smiled slightly, as if the previous poisoning incident and the theft of the snake venom serum had never happened, and explained, "The main structure of the pharmaceutical factory is now complete, and the interior decoration and equipment installation are underway. The production line will soon be put into assembly. The snake venom research institute led by Jiang Qitao has gathered the top domestic technology and equipment and the Jiang family's heritage. We want to build a first-class factory in China with internationally leading R&D and serum production bases. This is something that needs to be publicized!"
Li Xiangnan got up and poured Xu Jiaxin another cup of tea. He continued, "Once this factory goes into production, we will not only be able to produce highly effective single serums, but also overcome the challenge of broad-spectrum snake venom serums! At that time, snake venom patients across the country will be able to receive faster and more precise treatment, saving countless lives and families!"
His words immediately moved Xu Jiaxin deeply.
"Dean Li, what you have done is truly a meritorious deed for the present and a benefit for future generations. It is no exaggeration to say that you will be remembered for eternity!"
Xu Jiaxin's admiration for him grew even more. After closing her notebook, she asked, "If you were to report on this, which aspect would you prefer to focus on?"
Li Xiangnan's voice became even more solemn: "Then let's emphasize 'everything goes smoothly' and 'full of confidence.' We must stress that our equipment is the most advanced, all the construction schedules are on track, our technical team is top-notch in China, and the market prospects and social benefits will definitely be the strongest!"
He laughed and said firmly, "We must let society and the public know that our pharmaceutical factory is poised for takeoff and has a bright future!"
Xu Jiaxin sensed the emphasis in his words and guessed that it might not just be a publicity stunt, but had a deeper strategic significance. She didn't point it out, but nodded and said, "I understand. I'll make a call and have the crew arrange a cameraman right away. I'll start filming today! I'll work out the shooting script!"
Li Xiangnan pushed the phone towards her, "Please, Reporter Xu!"
Hearing her start making a phone call, Li Xiangnan finally breathed a long sigh of relief, a barely perceptible smile curving his lips.
He went to the window, lit a cigarette, and slowly exhaled the smoke.
Once Xu Jiaxin's report is published, it will inevitably cause ripples, like a stone thrown into a lake.
If the person who sabotaged me and stole the snake mother liquid was Sun Qisheng or someone else, how would they feel seeing such a triumphant report?
He would definitely doubt whether the previous sabotage had been effective, and he would definitely feel uneasy and anxious because of Li Xiangnan's composure.
What will inevitably follow is that they will be forced to take more drastic actions, which are also more likely to expose them.
So, we're just waiting for you to fall into the trap!
