“What? What the hell are they up to?” The older man was appalled and somewhat angry.
Being at his age and having gone through so much, he was used to all kinds of trouble. However, after he figured out what the research institute was up to, he was shocked and appalled.
“I don't know what they're planning, but it's not improving herbal medicine for the benefit of humanity, as we first presumed they were doing.”
She held up the cup of tea and took a sip. It had a mellow taste.
The older man knew how to enjoy himself. He had tea leaves of good quality here, and both the herbs and tea leaves were gifts from nature. Thousand s of years ago, the ancestors were wise in using various herbs to treat patients.
However, they have dual therapeutic and harmful potential. Poisons and medicines were always used in tandem. Some medicinal herbs have the potential to save lives if used properly, but they also carry the risk of death if misapplied.
Lily knew about this and had always been extra careful when using medicinal herbs. However, she did not expect those at the research institute to harbor evil intentions.
‘Sometimes, human beings can be more toxic than poison.’
Somewhat unsettled, the old man rubbed his fingers together for a moment and then asked, “Are you certain that you haven’t made a mistake?”
Without waiting for Lily’s answer, he brushed off the idea. “No, no, you’ve been my student for so many years, and you’d never make such a rookie mistake. The only possibility is that they’re up to no good.”
He turned and asked seriously, “Do you know what their experiment is for?”
