"Dr. Dai, what's status report on our... little botanical project?" Her voice low and lazy as she sat on the hospital bed smiling happily at Dr. Dai.
Dr. Dai, a tall man with a calm and charming demeanor, nodded quickly. "The water hemlock cultivation is complete, Ye Chen Ling. I've extracted and concentrated the toxins as planned."
Chen Ling's lips curled into a satisfied smirk. "Excellent. Nature's own weapon, refined by our hands."
Dr. Dai checked his tablet. "The processing lab is set up in the old pharmacy on the second floor. We can finalize the toxin there."
As they climbed the stairs, Ye Chen Ling's excitement grew palpable. Dr. Dai watched her warily, both impressed and unnerved by Ye Chen Ling's dedication to her sinister cause.
Reaching the second floor, they entered the former pharmacy. Dr. Dai placed a briefcase on a dusty counter and opened it, revealing vials of clear liquid.
