"Well..."
Thompson was at a loss as the research on wilfordi roots had halted.
He looked at Mike Corden, who sat beside him.
Mike was present at the two recent meetings, and Thompson could tell his boss thought highly of Mike.
Crossing his legs, Mike lowered his gaze while holding a cigarette and did not meet his eyes.
Helpless, Thompson looked back at his boss.
"Sir, about wilfordi roots and other herbs with stronger toxicity-"
"I've found a capable person to experiment with those herbs.| believe it'll succeed soon,"
Mike suddenly said, looking ahead with his eyelids lifted.

Thompson was stunned.
Knowing nothing about this, he looked toward Mike in astonishment.
"You found someone else? Who's the person? How c| was unaware?"
"Professor Thompson, you should just focus on your research.You're too unadventurous, and this job isn’t for you.Just leave it
alone."
Mike snuffed out his cigarette and frowned a little while blowing smoke out of his nose.
In other words, he was asking Thompson not to involve himself in the research on wilfordi roots and others.
However, Thompson had worked hard studying them and wished to see the project through.
‘We've achieved so much because | obtained a lot of data from my studies.How can | leave it alone now?’ "| disagree with what you
said.The entire project was my idea and a result of my creativity.How could you askto leave it alone? i Besides, if I'm not
participating in the experiment, who will take 7 responsibility if anything goes wrong?"
He said it indignantly.
Mike curled his lips and gave him a sidelong look.
"Are you saying : that if you do, you'll bear the sole responsibility if anything goes ; wrong?"
Thompson was stumped, as this was not what he meant.
"Enough!"
Mr.R spoke impatiently in his husky voice.
"Mike, who : have you found to experiment? Didn't you guys say that only Lily : could do it? How were you able to find another
candidate so soon?"
"That's right!"
Thompson immediately looked toward him.
"If | even Dominic Fike's secret apprentice had failed to make it work, who else could you get? The person must not only have done
in- depth research on medicinal herbs, but also be an expert on raw materials."
This was why Thompson could not perform in certain areas, as he did not know as much as Lily did.

He had invited Lily to join them so that she could provide technical support concerning the raw materials while he would assist her
iyl with theories on medicinal herbs.
However, he later discovered that Lily did not need to consult him.
It was as if she could handle +! everything alone.
‘ Although she kept getting the wrong results, each result brought a 5 new conclusion, and after making repeated adjustments, she
"I — finally succeeded.
‘If she wasn’t pregnant and had not stopped for a while, | think she , might've succeeded even sooner"
"The person I've found possesses such a capability, and is as good as Lily."
Mike smiled and stubbed out the cigarette.
"Besides, Professor Thompson, you know the person too."
"lI do?"
Thompson was surprised.
"Who is he?"
