Chapter 51: Search

The days that followed weren't particularly exciting.

Three weekends quickly passed; it was now the end of April.

Gu Nianzhi had dutifully returned to her Fengya Precinct apartment very weekend, and let Chen Lie run his tests and draw blood samples.

Every Sunday evening, Mei Xiawen picked her up and drove her back to school.

Huo Shaoheng, on the other hand, never called again.

Chen Lie had profited the most out of the past month.

He had discovered, from the health checks conducted on Gu Nianzhi over the last four weeks, that she was completely unaffected by the virus.

The horrific decline in health that had been observed in other imperial women – Oda Masao's test subjects – did not apply to Gu Nianzhi, at all.

She had miraculously recovered from the virus. Chen Lie was also convinced that Gu Nianzhi's body had produced antibodies that were 100% effective against this bioweapon.
