Xi Shijin spoke firmly, “Of course, with her possession of the real formula and my team’s expertise, we can absolutely create a genuine genetic drug!”

Until now, he had been doubting if the formula left to him by Nan Yan was a fake.

Unfortunately, it was indeed the real one.

Nan Yan had wholeheartedly trusted him back then, so why would she play such tricks on him?

Nan Yan, who had eavesdropped on their conversation, let out a cold sneer from her red lips.

Trying to create a genuine genetic drug? In your dreams!

She tapped her Bluetooth earpiece and danced her fingers on the keyboard once more. Her goal: pinpoint Lawrence’s location, the one who was conversing with Xi Shijin.

Lawrence suggested, “In that case, let’s find a way to bring her into the organization and make her work for us.”

Xi Shijin agreed, “I’m thinking the same. But we need to investigate her background first, understand her weaknesses and desires, and then we can make her obedient to us and work for our cause.

Lawrence nodded, “Alright, it’s up to you. Hurry up and produce the genetic drug. Headquarters is getting impatient, and if this keeps dragging on, you might face consequences.”

Upon hearing the word ‘consequences’ from Lawrence, Xi Shijin involuntarily shuddered, and fear flashed in his eyes. He quickly shook his head and replied,

“I understand.”

The call was then disconnected, and Xi Shijin put his phone away.

On Nan Yan’s end, after listening to their conversation, she devised a plan.

Of course, this plan required Xing Jia’s cooperation.

She would seek Xing Jia’s opinion and proceed only if she agreed.

The next day, Nan Yan came to find Qin Lu and the others.

She had obtained permission from Xi Shijin to speak favorably on his behalf to Xing Jia.

Upon hearing Nan Yan’s proposal, Xing Jia’s expression turned serious. “Miss Nan, are you asking me to infiltrate the enemy?”

Nan Yan stirred her coffee and nodded, “Yes, but it’s your decision. If you disagree, I’ll think of another way.”

Xing Jia instinctively glanced at Qin Lu.

She didn’t have any objections herself, but she belonged to Young Master Qin, so she needed his approval before proceeding.

Qin Lu’s tone was casual. “Xing Jia, from today onwards, you’ll follow Yan Yan’s arrangements.”

Xing Jia hesitated for a moment.

Swoosh!

It felt like an arrow had struck her heart.

Did her young master just hand her over to the future madam of the house?

How heartless!

But this also gave her a chance to cling to the future Mrs. Qin!

Her fleeting grievance vanished, and as soon as Qin Lu finished speaking, she stood up and said to Nan Yan, “Miss Nan, I’ll follow your orders.”

She raised her eyes, shining brightly, as if saying, “Miss Nan, please favor me.”

Thinking that she might be nervous about the task’s potential dangers, Nan Yan reassured her, “You don’t need to worry; I’ll ensure your safety.”

Xing Jia replied, “Thank you, Miss Nan!”
