Chapter 259: Chapter 13: Twin Sisters (13)

Li Shuning had been at the research institute the whole time, leaving Zhong Mu unable to make a move. Nowadays, the institute is not something a crime boss like him can easily shake.

On the other hand, someone approached Li Xiangning, asking her to steal the hemostatic pill formula.

Relatively speaking, the hemostatic pill formula is worth far more than the other formulas of the Li Family.

Li Xiangning didn’t have much money; earlier in the company, she caused the company to lose quite a bit, and she had to make up for it with her own money. Once, she even asked Jiang Xiaodie to help cover the loss.

If she could steal the formula this time, the other party would give her fifty million.

The most important thing is that Li Xiangning felt that if she could steal the hemostatic pill formula, she could use it herself. When she makes the pills, if Chu Tao doesn’t treat her well, then she’ll use the pill to team up with Zhong Mu. With this golden egg that can make money, Zhong Mu and she could live quite well.

As the second young lady of the Li Family, going to the institute naturally gave her access to get in.

However, she couldn’t enter Li Shuning’s laboratory.

The door to the lab used a fingerprint lock, and there were two guards stationed outside. Even Li Xiangning couldn’t get in.

Besides, when Li Shuning was there, she didn’t want to go either.

Regarding this sister, she believed that they had already torn up their relationship and no longer wished to speak to her.

When Li Xiangning came for the first time, Li Shuning already knew Li Xiangning’s intent; she thought she was there to steal something.

However, the several formulas of the Li Family were stored in the central laboratory’s large safe.

In the storyline, when Li Xiangning expressed interest in seeing it, Li Shuning opened the safe.

Although Li Xiangning put it back after looking, she memorized the safe’s password and tried opening it the second time she came.

She then placed a counterfeit formula and swapped the real one out.

This time, Li Xiangning didn’t go to the central laboratory but came here, obviously to steal the hemostatic pill formula.

Li Shuning chuckled coldly; given the circumstances, how could she not give her dear sister an opportunity?

On this day, Li Xiangning went to the institute as usual.

She sat at the corner of Li Shuning’s laboratory, waiting for a chance. To be honest, she was already growing impatient; if she couldn’t make it work, she decided she might as well give up.

She sat at the corner because this way, Li Shuning couldn’t see her.

Suddenly, a loud alarm went off inside the institute, indicating something seemed amiss.

The two guards outside Li Shuning’s lab hurriedly ran off.

Li Xiangning pressed against the wall, feeling extraordinarily excited; she sensed her chance was coming.

The only unfortunate part was that Li Shuning was still inside the lab.

What should she do?

Right, she could call Mom to have her call her sister away.

Li Shuning, watching the surveillance video of Li Xiangning inside the lab, smiled with her lips. What should she do? If Li Xiangning couldn’t manage it, then she’d have to leave the lab herself.

Li Xiangning called Jiang Xiaodie, asking her, in any way necessary, to have Li Shuning return home.

Li Xiangning emphasized how important it was to her, urging Jiang Xiaodie to hurry as much as possible.

The more urgency there is, the more likely Li Shuning would forget to lock the door. Of course, if Li Shuning decided to lock the door on her way out, Li Xiangning would just have to do it herself.

Jiang Xiaodie certainly called Li Shuning, saying she had fallen and injured her foot, urging Li Shuning to come back quickly.

Li Shuning snorted, then rushed out, leaving the door open as she hurried away.

Li Xiangning entered the lab and began searching quickly.

Li Shuning’s lab was different from the other labs in the institute; this lab even had a small, antiquated tripod, and fortunately, some documents were placed on the nearby table.

Li Xiangning searched around, eyes lighting up, as she picked up one of the documents to read.

Upon discovering it to be the formula, she looked around and saw that the room also had a copier.

She quickly copied the document, returned it to its place, and then hurriedly left.

After leaving the institute, Li Xiangning handed the formula to the person who had approached her, but she kept a copy for herself as well.

Li Shuning returned home and saw Jiang Xiaodie sitting there peacefully drinking tea.

“Mom, weren’t you saying…”

Jiang Xiaodie quickly interrupted Li Shuning’s words: “Shuning, you’ve come back. Mom took a fall, it hurt at first, but after rubbing it, it felt much better. I originally wanted to call you to say you didn’t need to come back, but then I thought you might be driving, and calling might not be safe, so I didn’t call.”

Li Shuning snorted internally, thinking how Jiang Xiaodie unquestioningly followed Li Xiangning’s words to call her back. When she learns what Li Xiangning has done, would she regret it?

Probably not. In the storyline, Li Xiangning ruined the family’s businesses and Jiang Xiaodie never said a word of complaint.

Li Shuning spent a while with Jiang Xiaodie at home before leaving to return to the institute.

Back at the institute, she reviewed the surveillance footage and saw everything Li Xiangning had done.

However, Li Shuning said nothing.

She had tampered with the formula a bit; the pill would be effective and have marks, but after ten days, the wound would reopen just as before.

Li Shuning wouldn’t let the pills be mass-produced; after all, the medication wouldn’t affect the ones stealing the formula.

If they conducted clinical trials and noticed issues, they’d stop, which would be fine. Otherwise, Li Xiangning might face trouble.

If they couldn’t wait that long, then things would get interesting.

The people behind the scenes quickly began producing medicine after receiving the formula from Li Xiangning.

They then noticed that the formula was correct, the pills were right, and they saw patterns inside the pills. Of course, they didn’t realize the pattern was different, thinking the fifty million was well spent.

However, the pills were not easy to produce.

Once the ingredients were combined, they’d inexplicably fall apart, failing to form into pills.

Of course, they’d occasionally make one or two good ones.

The people behind the scenes strangely believed they understood the truth; maybe this was why the Li Family was reluctant to cooperate with other companies—such medicine was difficult to make.

Even though there only were about a dozen pills, they felt they could proceed.

Of course, they tried them out before launching them, finding them effective.

But, as Li Shuning foresaw, they didn’t wait very long.

With upscale packaging, they directly held a press conference.

A tiny pill was showcased in a crystal bottle, appearing very high-end.

Li Family’s medicine was limited to their hospitals; however, not everyone wished to travel far to buy medicine from the hospital.

Their medicine could be sold nationally, and the effect of hunger marketing would be great. As for the price, they would set it themselves, and when the time comes, not to mention the fifty million, heh heh…
