Given the current situation, it seemed unlikely that the rift between them could ever be repaired.

Although An Siting felt somewhat regretful, he was okay with things staying the way they were as long as Nan Yan didn’t come back.

An Zhici fell silent, his eyes flickering for a moment before he said nothing further.

As for Old Master An and Old Master Lu, they were well aware of An Yaoqing’s attitude towards Nan Yan after waking up, so they didn’t even bother to look at him.

As long as he was alive, that was enough.

Visiting him would only lead to arguments and further sour their moods when they met.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Nan Yan had been at Xi Shijin’s private research facility for three days already.

During this time, she had investigated the available information on Xi Shijin thoroughly.

The truth turned out to be much simpler than she had anticipated.

Xi Shijin wasn’t the one who truly wanted her parents dead; there was someone else responsible for the murders.

However, since Xi Shijin had carried out the killings, he couldn’t escape justice.

There wasn’t much public information available about Xi Shijin, and most of it portrayed him in a positive light, highlighting his accomplishments in the field of scientific research.

Yet, Nan Yan easily uncovered numerous secrets related to him within this private research facility.

Xi Shijin used an offline computer to document all the extraordinary and horrifying experiments he had conducted over the years at this private research facility, likely to guard against hacking attempts.

Among them were experiments on human biochemistry, something that had been strictly prohibited by the United Nations.

Nan Yan had been surprised when she discovered all this, considering that she had been working alongside Xi Shijin all along, completely unaware of his activities.

Even more shocking was the fact that some of the research she had initially conducted had been used in these experiments on human subjects.

It explained why Xi Shijin had always tasked her with genetic pharmaceutical research and given her peculiar research assignments.

She had unwittingly been used by him to provide countless experimental data for these inhumane experiments.

Nan Yan felt a heavy weight on her shoulders.

All the information stored on this computer could easily destroy Xi Shijin’s reputation and make him a pariah in the eyes of the world.

However, Nan Yan had no intention of doing so.

Instead, she copied the data, intending to thoroughly investigate the person behind Xi Shijin’s actions.

“Nan Yan, when can you get hold of that drug?” Xi Shijin was becoming impatient.

It had already been three days, and there had been no news from Nan Yan’s end. He was starting to wonder if she was deliberately deceiving him. Nan Yan suppressed her killing intent, raised her head, and casually replied,

“Today.”

“I need to go out to pick up the medicine in a while. Give me access to enter and exit the underground research facility, ” Nan Yan requested.

Xi Shijin’s expression slightly tensed. He didn’t want to grant Nan Yan access to the facility.

It was too important to him, and adding another person increased the risk, especially when that person was Nan Yan.

However, the T-2 genetic drug was crucial to him. To obtain the medicine and the complete formula, he had to cooperate with Nan Yan to some extent.

Thinking this over, he nodded amiably, “Alright, you can accompany me to set it up later.”

“By the way, Nan Yan, do you happen to know Nyan?”

With Qin Lu’s plan, Xing Jia’s reputation had skyrocketed in just three days.

Originally, Xing Jia was a newcomer making a name for herself in the scientific community, with some recognition but far from being considered a scientific heavyweight.

However, after three consecutive auctions in the black market where gene drugs bearing her name were sold at exorbitant prices, her fame had surged.

Numerous research institutions now wanted to hire her at a high price.

A smile curved Nan Yan’s lips. “Of course, I know her. Mr. Qin gave me the drugs from her.”

She already knew from Qin Lu that the impersonator who took her identity was his operative.

She was fully aware of his plan. However, she hadn’t told him yet that Nyan was her.

Once she had dealt with Xi Shijin’s matter, there would be time to confess. However, one thing piqued her curiosity: why did he want someone else to impersonate her?

Did he know her from before?

As far as she could remember, she hadn’t had much interaction with Qin Lu.

Xi Shijin’s excitement grew, “Really? Can you invite her to work at my research facility? I’ll offer her a compensation package higher than any other research institution!”

Nan Yan continued to play with his emotions, smiling faintly, and added, “I’ll inquire about her opinion when I meet her today during my medicine pickup.” So, that meant she would be meeting Nyan today?

Upon learning of this possibility, Xi Shijin’s heart rate significantly increased.

If he could meet Nyan in person and personally extend the invitation, would it increase the chances of her joining his research facility?

After all, with his status and a sincere invitation, she wouldn’t refuse him.

Xi Shijin immediately seized the opportunity and asked, “Nan Yan, can I accompany you to pick up the medicine?”
