“Brother, let it go. Shaohua didn’t know,” An Tongtong tugged at An Tingjun’s sleeve.
An Tingjun’s expression darkened. “Let it go? This is about Grandpa’s life. How can we just let it go? Ye Shaohua, remember, you’re back now. This isn’t the kind of place where people eat anything and everything. There are plenty of people who want to harm Grandpa. You—”
“Wait, Tingjun, hold on!” The family doctor, after double-checking, finally recognized the symbols on the medicine. Hearing An Tingjun’s words, he shook his head. “Miss Ye is correct. The medicine’s origin is legitimate.”
The family doctor’s words left everyone in the room stunned.
“Are you sure?” The most skeptical was An Tongtong. She even shot a suspicious glance at the family doctor, suspecting he was in cahoots with Ye Shaohua.
Her look made the family doctor pause. He gave her a cold glance and chose not to respond.
“Old Master, may I take a look at the medicine?”
Old Master An handed it to him.
He carefully took the medicine, examined it for a while, and finally confirmed it was a new drug from a prestigious research institute.
As for why it ended up in Ye Shaohua’s hands…
“Miss Ye, are you studying… medicine?” A thought suddenly struck him. He recalled someone telling him a few days ago, as a joke, that the An family’s eldest daughter wasn’t studying management or economics but had instead chosen medicine.
Now, it seemed she wasn’t a laughingstock but had made a far better choice.
“Correct,” Ye Shaohua glanced at the emblem and didn’t deny it.
After all, it wouldn’t be a secret for much longer. “Grandpa, I have some matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave.”
“Miss Ye, let me escort you!” The family doctor bid farewell to everyone present, except An Tongtong, leaving her in an awkward position.
The An family’s family doctor was no ordinary person; he was the director of a military hospital.
He served as the An family’s doctor solely because Old Master An had once helped his family.
Typically, he only attended to Old Master An’s health.
Seeing him almost fawningly follow Ye Shaohua out left everyone puzzled.
Ye Shaohua spent her last summer before university in the laboratory.
Meanwhile, An Tongtong had been busy with Go tournaments all summer. Out of 50 participants, each had to play 50 matches. For the final round, the organizers even brought in players from R Country.
By the time school started, the tournament still wasn’t over.
Although An Tongtong wasn’t physically present at B University, she had been appearing on TV frequently. The business and management department students all knew of her.
She was a hot topic on the school forums.
Some even called her the campus belle of B University.
A month after the semester began, An Tongtong finally secured a spot in the finals, and the An family planned a grand celebration.
Grandpa An personally sent An Tingjun to pick up Ye Shaohua.
An Tongtong tagged along.
Lately, she had been feeling uneasy.
Even though she was famous now, she had started realizing something—the higher the level of Go players she faced, the harder it was to predict their moves.
She was nervous about the upcoming world championship.
Her fans had such high expectations—what if she lost miserably?
When she heard Grandpa An mention Ye Shaohua, she decided to come along. She wanted to see how the “phoenix raised in a chicken coop” was doing.
She had heard that medical students were extremely busy.
The butler even said that Ye Shaohua hadn’t visited Grandpa An in nearly a month.
Curious, An Tongtong had browsed B University’s forum but didn’t see any posts about Ye Shaohua.
Looks like she wasn’t doing too well.
“You’re An Tongtong from next door, right?”
Even in B University, many people recognized An Tongtong.
But An Tingjun and Yan Xu were the true campus legends.
With three of them walking together, they attracted attention.
Someone enthusiastically led them to the medical department.
“You’re looking for the top student?” A few students adjusted their glasses. “You’ve got the wrong place. Shaohua isn’t in the classroom—she’s always in the lab. Even the professors don’t want to let her go. Why would you think she’d be in a regular class?”
The medical lab?
Yan Xu and An Tingjun were stunned.
They had heard of that place before.
But Ye Shaohua was only a freshman… and she was already allowed in?
“I’ll take you there.” A junior student from the medical department led them to the underground research lab.
An Tongtong hesitated but followed them into the high-tech facility.
Since An Tingjun and Yan Xu had recognizable faces, the staff let them in after hearing they were related to Ye Shaohua.
The research lab was different from the rest of the university.
Every student here was a top talent.
Even Yan Xu and An Tingjun seemed ordinary in comparison.
Through a glass window, they saw Ye Shaohua inside.
She wore a white lab coat and held a test tube filled with a half-blue liquid.
A tall male student stood beside her, handing her petri dishes.
“Wait… isn’t that Yun Sheng?” An Tingjun almost shouted.
He recognized the young man assisting Ye Shaohua.
Mo Yunsheng—the top-ranked student from their year.
A prodigy with an influential background.
Ever since he entered B University, he had been a campus sensation.
He was also known for being arrogant.
Yet here he was, assisting Ye Shaohua?
“Shaohua seems pretty impressive, huh?”
An Tongtong still didn’t grasp the significance of the lab.
She was focused on preparing for the world championship.
She didn’t think medicine had much of a future, anyway.
She was already at a level that most people her age couldn’t surpass.
Even the news in the capital city was praising her.
“Of course! Ye Goddess is our medical department’s genius! The dean even asked her to give a lecture on her first day! Today is the first time
