From Sidekick to Bigshot

Chapter 59: Research Institution (2)

“I want to go in,” Jian Yiling said as she pointed at the place where the access card was swiped.

“I’ve told you already. You guys can’t go in. You must follow the proper procedure. If everyone was like the two of you, everything will be a mess. Please take your mother away. You won’t achieve anything doing this.” The security guard attempted to persuade her.

“She’s not my mother.” Jian Yiling replied.

“How is she not your mother? Both of you came at the same time. I saw it with my own eyes! Why else would a junior high school student come to our research institution? Don’t lie to me. Are you saying this so you can run past me when I’m not paying attention?”

The security guard was determined that Jian Yiling was the daughter of the woman.

“I made an appointment with the person inside,” Jian Yiling replied. Her face was calm and collected. Her demeanor was completely different from the woman who was crying and wailing on the ground.

“Who did you make an appointment with? Don’t be so shameless. Why are you lying now?”

The security guard looked and sounded quite done.

Made an appointment with the person inside? This reason was quite impossible. Why would someone in the research institution have an appointment with a child?

After he finished speaking, the security guard looked at the woman who was lying on the ground. In his mind, he told himself that this mother taught her daughter badly.

He sighed internally.

At this exact moment, someone in the research institution sent a message to Jian Yiiling. The messaged asked about her location.

[Dr. F.S, where are you right now?]

Jian Yiling returned a message: [I’m at the door. But I can’t get in.]

The other party immediately replied: [Wait there, I’ll pick you up at the door.]

After waiting for about five minutes, the door of the institution opened.

As soon as the door opened, the woman who was lying on the floor reacted first.

She jumped up and rushed towards the door.

The guard responded promptly and quickly grabbed at the woman.

The woman made a fierce cry before she started to throw a tantrum again. “Let go! Let go! I want to see the head of your institution!”

A slender man in a white coat walked out of the door. He was wearing glasses that were rimmed in gold.

He was relatively thin and appeared to look educated and cultured.

His hair was cut short and his skin was pale. The color of his skin was probably due to staying inside the research institution all year round.

“Doctor, doctor! Please save my husband!”

Although the woman was stopped by the security guard, she kept trying to throw herself at Cheng Yi.

It resembled a cheetah trying to pounce at its prey.

Cheng Yi glanced at the two women in front of him. Out of habit, his index finger pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses.

“What’s the matter?” Cheng Yi asked the guard.

“This lady brought her daughter to ask for medicine to save her husband. She said that she had already registered on the website.” The security guard explained.

And thus, Cheng Yi explained to the woman and Jian Yiling, “Please calm down. If you’ve already registered but not yet been notified, it’s because the patient details do not meet the conditions for our new clinical trial.”

However, the woman wasn’t listening to any of the explanation, “You’re lying! You say that you don’t charge money but you’re probably just secretly collecting money! You probably gave the entire quota to those people who paid you in secret!”

Cheng Yi felt a headache coming. He turned around and spoke to the guard, “If it doesn’t work, please call the police. I have an important guest today.”

Once the woman heard that the police might get contacted, she became much quieter. However, she refused to leave the door.

Cheng Yi looked around. Dr. F.S said that he’d already reached the door. Why was he nowhere to be seen?

Cheng Yi asked the guard, “Apart from this mother and daughter, has anyone else visited today?”

The guard shook his head and replied, “Other than people from the institution, it’s only been these two.”

“That’s strange. He clearly sent me a message saying that he reached the door...”
