Chapter 2596 Want to Take a Look?

The laboratory here is not like the shared Animal Experiment Building; it’s locked when no staff are present. Duan Sanbao carries a key to the mentor’s office, suggesting that when Doctor Cheng mentioned he was tired and sleeping in the lab, he was actually in Immortal Brother’s office.

Before reaching the destination, they encountered Dr. Han in the corridor.

Is it a coincidence? Hard to tell. Repeated chance encounters make it seem like they have some kind of fate with Doctor Mu Yongxian.

Duan Sanbao felt tense; he is not Doctor Cheng nor Boss Cousin, and he is unsure how to handle competitors while accompanying a group of young students.

"Hello everyone." Dr. Han greeted them warmly, "Here to visit the teachers’ laboratories, right? Want to take a look at our Dr. Mu’s lab?"

"Yes." Wei Shangquan raised his hand.

The other students looked at him in surprise.

Why not? Given a chance to visit, even if they are competitors, you can report back to your mentor, helping them gather intel on rivals’ research.

You’re overthinking it, Student Wei. Same hospital and medical school, neighboring laboratories — it’s impossible not to know what’s happening next door. Boss’s experiments require academic exchanges with colleagues, meaning what’s shareable is already shared. Confidential research information won’t be exposed to outside students.

"No need, thank you, Teacher." Pan Shihua quickly declined on behalf of Student Wei, not forgetting they were scolded by Doctor Cheng last time.

"What are you afraid of?" Dr. Han seemed startled, chuckling, "Afraid your Teacher Cao will scold you? He won’t. You all know your Teacher Cao’s nature. He’s like an immortal, unconcerned about trivial matters."

Problem is, this Cao Immortal isn’t as others thought recently.

Seeing them seemingly unresponsive, Dr. Han suddenly offered something to entice the students, "Not letting you watch the experiment. Ongoing experiments can’t be shown. But our Dr. Mu has some treasures, want to see, want to visit?"

"What treasures?" Again, it was Student Wei who couldn’t resist asking first.

Beside him, Student Pan couldn’t restrain his impulse.

"Thousands of human cardiac pathology slides, a private collection accumulated by our Dr. Mu over a long time."

"Cardiac pathology slides, we’ve seen them in Teacher Ren’s anatomy room before."

"Can your school’s anatomy room cover all types of cardiac disease pathology slides?"

Dr. Han’s rhetorical question caught all the students off guard.

Xie Wanying’s heart raced rapidly.

The more cardiac cases you encounter clinically, the more you realize that the endpoint of cardiac sudden death is actually in the myocardium. It’s crucial to know what the myocardium looks like before it dies; perhaps from here, you can find clues to hard-to-trace causes.

"Can I see them?" Xie Wanying asked.

Hearing her speak, Dr. Han’s eyes lit up with undisguised excitement, thinking: Mu Yongxian was right, Guoxie’s female academic star would be interested.

The other students blinked at her; it was rare to see Student Xie proactively express interest in seeing something.

Duan Sanbao snapped back to reality, rushed to block her, saying: "No need to go over. Teacher Cao has these as well."
