LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 20:
Chapter 20: Qin Ningbing Is Shocked Again—Her Body Trembles!
“Young Master Shen… thank you.”
Qin Ningbing closed her beautiful eyes and let out a soft sigh, a trace of exhaustion showing on her delicate face.
Her mother had passed away early, and her father had died unexpectedly a few years ago. Right after graduating from university, she had taken over Renshintang Pharmaceutical Company in Magic Capital—a billion-yuan enterprise.
But there was still Wang Hai, the second-largest shareholder, who rallied the upper management against her, trying to seize control and push the company to go public just to cash out.
And now, even one of the few elders she trusted—Divine Doctor Lu—had been bribed by Wang Hai.
She felt emotionally drained.
Just then, a warm hand gently held her cold fingers.
Qin Ningbing was startled. She opened her eyes and saw Shen Anyu’s warm and sincere smile.
“Darling, I told you… with me here, no one can hurt you.”
“I will protect you—for life.”
Qin Ningbing stared at him in a daze, then suddenly burst out in a soft laugh. She covered her rosy lips, her eyes twinkling as she teased, “Young Master Shen, I’m not some innocent little girl. Those sweet words and eternal promises… save them for someone else.”
[Ding! Detected increase in Destiny Heroine Qin Ningbing’s affection +10, Plundered +Destiny Points!]
Shen Anyu’s expression turned slightly strange.
Women… your name is contradiction.
Clearly, she longed for this deep inside, yet her mouth said the exact opposite.
Qin Ningbing blushed under Shen Anyu’s playful gaze and quickly changed the subject.
“Young Master Shen, how do you plan to research the Ginseng Heart Elixir?”
“Three months isn’t a lot of time.”
Shen Anyu smiled faintly and said, “Three months? I can’t wait that long.”
“Three hours should be enough.”
He planned to be all over her tonight—front and back, inside and out. Where’s the time for three months?
Give Brother Kun a three-month break, and he’ll be upset!
Yesterday there was no bloodshed. Today, the surprise must double.
What?
Three hours is enough?
Qin Ningbing was stunned. She thought she misheard him and asked in disbelief, “Young Master Shen, did I hear that right? Three hours??”
Even if the Shen family of Yanxia could summon the world’s top experts and doctors, three hours wasn’t even enough time for them to board a plane!
Was this a joke?
The researchers around them perked up their ears but remained skeptical inside.
Three hours? That was laughable. Even three months wasn’t enough.
They had spent three full years, and even with sabotage from Divine Doctor Lu, they knew exactly how difficult the research had been.
It was like fumbling through a dark maze with no clear direction.
However, since Shen Anyu had earlier summoned dozens of black-suited bodyguards with a wave of his hand, they knew he was a big figure. None dared to speak out—they just lowered their heads.
Privately, they guessed this was some rich playboy trying to woo their beautiful CEO with an absurd excuse.
He’d probably get rejected like all the others.
“Mmm, you misheard. It’s not three hours,” Shen Anyu said after a moment.
Qin Ningbing breathed a sigh of relief and chuckled, “I knew it. You gave me a scare, Young Master Shen.”
Then Shen Anyu suddenly smiled and added, “To be precise, it’ll take me three minutes to make the Ginseng Heart Elixir. The three hours are just for you to verify the results.”
Everyone: speechless.
They didn’t believe a word of it.
Yet, before their eyes, Shen Anyu leisurely walked to the herbal storage, grabbed a bunch of ingredients with lightning speed, and didn’t even use a scale.
A researcher muttered under his breath, “According to the eighteen incompatibilities and nineteen contraindications in Chinese medicine, ginseng must not be used with Five-Spirit Fat… Isn’t this totally reckless?”
“Can he really control the dosage just by grabbing things like that?”
“And in just three minutes? He won’t even have time to grind the herbs. What can he possibly make?”
Others didn’t dare to voice their doubts, but their eyes were full of skepticism. They were all waiting to see a joke unfold.
Qin Ningbing, too, felt slightly disappointed. Even she had to admit that a ripple had stirred in her heart just moments ago.
But now… it seemed like he wasn’t so reliable after all.
Well, that was actually a relief. The less capable Shen Anyu was, the safer she would be.
No need for any of that inside and out business.
However, the next scene left Qin Ningbing—and everyone else—completely dumbfounded.
Shen Anyu casually waved his hand, and a surge of inner energy burst out. Boom! The herbs were instantly pulverized into powder.
With his powerful Grandmaster-level inner strength, he heated them directly, melting them down rapidly into pill form.
In midair, the shimmering elixir balls hovered and spun.
Qin Ningbing’s rosy lips parted in disbelief—she looked as if someone could stuff something into her mouth.
“What… how is this possible?”
She was completely stunned. Is this even scientific?!
The other highly educated researchers were all wide-eyed and slack-jawed. They began questioning their entire belief system.
Their knowledge of science, medicine, and the world itself was starting to collapse.
The lab was dead silent.
Everyone stared blankly at Shen Anyu, their minds in complete disarray.
“Alright, three minutes are up,” Shen Anyu said calmly.
With a flick of his finger, each glowing Ginseng Heart Elixir flew straight into the mouths of the heart-diseased mice.
To the naked eye, those once-weak mice suddenly perked up.
It was as if they had been infused with new life.
Shen Anyu’s relaxed voice rang out again:
“I’m in a bit of a hurry, so I cheated with some inner force.”
“Now hurry up and run your tests. And if it takes more than three hours… well, I’ll know exactly who’s in league with Divine Doctor Lu.”
BOOM!
As soon as those words landed, the researchers snapped into action like machines. They raced to test the mice, drenched in sweat.
Divine Doctor Lu’s earlier fate was still fresh in their minds.
But at the same time, their eyes gleamed with fervor and excitement.
That miraculous scene had filled them with newfound confidence.
What if… the Ginseng Heart Elixir actually worked?
If so, it would rock not just Yanxia, but the entire global medical field!
And they, the research team, would share in that glory!
Finally, with the testing team working at full speed, results came in an hour early.
All the mice that had taken Shen Anyu’s elixir showed rapid and clear recovery. The effects were incredible.
With long-term use, they might even be fully cured.
Qin Ningbing stood frozen, staring at Shen Anyu in a daze. Her voice trembled as she asked:
“You… you already had the Ginseng Heart Elixir formula, didn’t you?”
Shen Anyu tilted his head with a playful smirk and replied:
“Of course. I thought you were just trying to send me a gift.”
“Darling, now it’s your turn to honor your promise.”
“A bet’s a bet—you have to accept the outcome.”
Qin Ningbing felt as if lightning had struck her. Her whole body trembled…
