A few minutes later, the effects of the drug began to take hold, and Nan Yan slowly “woke up.”

She opened her eyes with confusion and asked, “Who… are you?”

Xi Shijin had been staring at her all along.

Seeing the genuine confusion in her eyes, without any signs of pretense, he suddenly snorted coldly and said, “Stop pretending. You know who I am.” Nan Yan hesitated for a moment, and her voice turned cold. “You’re Xi Shijin?”

“You kidnapped my parents and used them to threaten me to come see you. What’s your purpose?” Her attitude was completely unfamiliar, and there was no sign of acting.

Xi Shijin couldn’t help but start to believe that she genuinely didn’t recognize him.

But how could he explain the fact that the people he had sent before still hadn’t reported back?

Was she deliberately pretending not to recognize him, or did she genuinely not know him?

Xi Shijin was momentarily at a loss.

He decided to assume that she genuinely didn’t recognize him.

“That’s right, I am Xi Shijin.” There was a glint of coldness in his eyes, and then he asked sternly, “Now, tell me honestly, who are you?”

“You had people investigate me. Wouldn’t you know who I am?” Nan Yan chuckled and raised her chin slightly. “I am Nan Yan.”

She pretended not to recognize Xi Shijin and denied her true identity.

But she wasn’t acting foolishly.

Besides, since Xi Shijin had sought her out, he must have thoroughly investigated her identity before taking action against her.

Xi Shijin felt a sudden tightness in his chest, an inexplicable coldness that came and went quickly, disappearing in an instant.

“You have the same name as one of my students,” Xi Shijin said, as if reminiscing about the past. His gaze rested on Nan Yan. “She was also a Chinese national, just as beautiful as you…”

Nan Yan secretly pinched the palm of her hand, using the pain to remind herself not to lose control and kill him.

In contrast to Xi Shijin’s nostalgic expression, Nan Yan’s emotions remained unchanged.

She simply raised an eyebrow as he spoke softly, “So where is she now?”

“She’s gone,” Xi Shijin sighed, lowering his gaze. “Six months ago, there was an explosion in the laboratory. She was inside and couldn’t escape in time, perishing in the blaze.”

Nan Yan sneered inwardly.

He was counting on her being dead, with no second witness and no evidence left behind, so he could manipulate right and wrong, black and white, as he pleased.

Now, right in front of her, he used this false display of compassion, but she was willing to play along.

“That’s truly unfortunate,” Nan Yan replied with a tone devoid of sympathy, then shifted the conversation, “But what does that have to do with you kidnapping my parents and forcing me to meet you?”

“Mr. Xi Shijin, we live in two different countries, you’re a renowned scientist known worldwide, while I’m just an ordinary high school student. It seems there’s no connection between us.”

In response to Nan Yan’s questioning, Xi Shijin had long prepared a response.

“It’s because of something very important that I wanted to discuss with you in person. However, it seems there are people around you secretly protecting you, and my people couldn’t bring you here. Regrettably, I had to resort to this method.”

“But don’t be angry, I just had them put on a show, I wouldn’t really let them do anything to your parents.”

Nan Yan subtly curled her lips.

“Well, please explain then, how did they get those injuries?”

“Also, if you wanted to meet me, why didn’t you just say so directly? Why did you have to resort to such despicable means? It seems beneath your status.”

Although she didn’t have any affection for those two individuals, she also didn’t want others to harm them because of her.

“These are all accidents,” Xi Shijin replied. He didn’t expect Nan Yan, who looked like an inexperienced young girl, to be so difficult to deal with. He had run out of patience for this conversation filled with trivial details.

“Nan Yan, the reason I’ve come to you this time is to ask you what kind of drug you used to cure Professor Yun.”

After asking, he stared at Nan Yan, not missing any change in her expression. “It was given to me by someone else, and I don’t know what it is.”

Nan Yan had already guessed that the appearance of T-2 would bring her trouble, but she had no intention of admitting to it.

Xi Shijin urgently asked, “Who gave it to you?”

Nan Yan hesitated for a moment when she heard a voice coming from her Bluetooth earpiece. She then replied with two words, “Master Qin.” “Which Master Qin?”

“The head of the Qin family in the Imperial Capital of China, Qin Lu.”

Nan Yan hadn’t specifically investigated Qin Lu’s identity, and what she knew was only what he had shown in front of her.

Her Bluetooth earpiece had been in a connected state all along, so he could hear everything from this side as well. Just now, it was Qin Lu who told her to say it was him.

This way, she could avoid exposing herself.

Xi Shijin’s expression suddenly became solemn.

“It’s impossible…” he muttered to himself.

How could Master Qin have T-2?

Since Nan Yan had developed this drug, he had taken it directly into his hands and eradicated her, uprooting her entirely. Besides the one he had, there was no way for it to have spread outside.

Nan Yan said with an unchanged expression, “Indeed, it was him who gave it to me. If you don’t believe it, you can ask him.”

The problem was, he dared not ask him…

“Nan Yan, can you ask Master Qin for another dose? I want to study that drug. It’s a special medicine that can cure illnesses and save lives. If we can mass-produce it, it will benefit humanity in the future!”

“I can ask him, but whether he’s willing to give it or not depends on his decision.”

Xi Shijin didn’t completely believe Nan Yan’s words. He couldn’t be absolutely certain that it was T-2 because he had never seen it before. However, considering that ordinary drugs wouldn’t have any effect on her body to cure Professor Yun, the likelihood of it being T-2 was very high.

Could it be that when Nan Yan first developed T-2, the first person she informed wasn’t him, but someone else, and she even shared the formula with that person?

Was that person Qin Lu?

Thinking back to the information he had found when investigating Nan Yan’s identity, Qin Lu seemed to be protecting her, almost sealing her off from the outside world.

Perhaps he had transferred his feelings for Nan Yan to this Nan Yan in front of him?

This thought began to take root in his mind.

Xi Shijin paced around the room for a few laps, then suddenly returned to face Nan Yan and said in a deep voice:

“Nan Yan, if you can produce that drug, I can take you as my student and make you a world-renowned scientist. How about it?”

Nan Yan pinched her palm firmly, suppressing the surging desire to kill.. Then, she pretended to be emotionally excited and asked, “Is your proposal serious?”
