Chapter 300: Discovered…
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Elvis had been suspecting that the user ‘Diving fish’ was a thief who stole someone else’s T-1 reagent. Now, with Xi Shijin showing up at his doorstep, he couldn’t help but feel a bit uneasy.
“That’s correct,” Xi Shijin said with a stern face, showing no signs of embarrassment. “That reagent does belong to me, and it was indeed stolen.”
“Mr. Lawrence Jr., I hope you can return the reagent to its rightful owner. You should also be aware that due to significant side effects, it’s not advisable for use.”
“But…” Elvis appeared conflicted. “That reagent is important to me. I need it to save someone’s life.
Elvis had some doubts in his mind. Who exactly was ‘Diving fish’ and how did they manage to steal something from the highest laboratory? Their capabilities seemed utterly extraordinary.
However, something didn’t add up. The package he received was clearly sent from within China. If ‘Diving fish’ had taken the reagent from the highest laboratory, why would they bother sending it to him in China? Was it meant to confuse him and the people at the highest laboratory?
Elvis was having trouble understanding the situation.
Xi Shijin spoke seriously, “Recovering the stolen reagent is of utmost importance. Mr. Lawrence Jr., you were unaware of the situation, so I won’t hold you responsible for any pursuit by the FBI. However, you won’t be compensated for your loss. Perhaps you could try to identify the person who sold you this reagent on the Dark Realm.”
“Furthermore, I hope you can provide information about this individual’s identity. I’d like to hand it over to the FBI so they can apprehend this reckless thief and bring them to justice.”
Elvis didn’t dare to offend Xi Shijin, and he also wanted to avoid getting involved with the FBI. So, he reluctantly handed over the T-1 reagent that Nan Yan had given him to Xi Shijin. Afterward, he couldn’t help but feel deep regret.
Why didn’t he use the reagent as soon as he received it? Now, not only had he lost the reagent, but he also couldn’t recover the money he had spent on it. He directed his anger towards Nan Yan.
In the end, he gave Xi Shijin Nan Yan’s ‘Diving fish’ account and even showed him some of the chat screenshots between them.
“Mr. Lawrence Jr., thank you for your cooperation. I will report this information to the FBI truthfully. I apologize for any inconvenience caused,” Xi Shijin said as he left Elvis’s estate.
Xi Shijin’s face was now clouded with a sense of foreboding.
Nan Yan…
That account belonged to Nan Yan!
Once, due to a fortunate coincidence, he had seen the backstage page of her Dark Realm account. At that time, Nan Yan had no guard up against him, didn’t hide anything, and even told him that it was her account on the Dark Realm…
But, she’s supposed to be dead, right? Who could have gotten hold of that account! And they even had a T-1 reagent!
If it weren’t for him witnessing Nan Yan’s death with his own eyes and personally destroying the laboratory, he would have suspected that Nan Yan didn’t really die. Could it be related to that newcomer, Nyan, who recently appeared?
Xi Shijin had some suspicions. Was it possible that one of Nan Yan’s friends from her past life was investigating her cause of death?
This thought made his already anxious and restless heart even more uneasy. No, he couldn’t just wait around; he had to take action!
One hour and forty minutes.
Nan Yan looked at the reagent in front of her, emitting a faint blue glow, and let out a long sigh of relief.
Luckily, it was a successful attempt. If it had failed, she would have to start over, wasting time and depleting her limited resources.
She grabbed a tissue and wiped the sweat from her forehead, then carefully stored the reagent in a special test tube. She didn’t waste the remaining materials either, quickly preparing several improved T-1 reagents.
These improvements aimed to reduce side effects and ensure a more stable state for the users.
“Dr. Nan, are you done?” came a quiet inquiry through her Bluetooth earpiece.
“Yes, almost,” Nan Yan replied calmly. Her hands continued to work steadily, unaffected by the conversation.
Sighing in relief, Yun Jingshan said, “That’s good. I’ll be waiting outside for you.”
This was the first time he had violated the rules by bringing an outsider into the National Laboratory, and the pressure was weighing on him. He feared that something might go wrong if they staved too long. although under normal circumstances, there would be no interruptions during his experiments. But there was still a lingering fear of any unexpected circumstances.
“Give me another ten minutes,” Nan Yan said.
“Alright,” he hung up the phone and let out a slow breath. He was about to rub his temples to relax his nerves when he heard someone ringing the doorbell.
The somewhat jarring ‘ding-dong’ nearly startled his soul out of him. His already tense nerves reached their breaking point.
What should he do?
He anxiously paced in place, and as the person outside continued to ring the doorbell, he hurriedly headed towards the operating room inside.
“Dr. Nan, someone’s here, can you open the door?” he said urgently.
He couldn’t open the door himself because he was the scientist, and the role Nan Yan was currently playing as Xiao Qi was that of his assistant. Opening the door was her responsibility.
“Alright,” Nan Yan responded and then quickly briefed Yun Jingshan on the order and dosage of the next set of ingredients she was going to use.
Once she finished, she locked eyes with Yun Jingshan. “Have you remembered everything?”
“I’ve got it,” Yun Jingshan replied.
Facing Nan Yan, he felt an inexplicable pressure. She was significantly younger than him, yet her presence was even more imposing than his own mother’s…
It was truly baffling!
But it was understandable. She was a renowned divine doctor!
Nan Yan gave Yun Jingshan a quick glance, heard the continuous knocking at the door, and turned to open it.
Outside the door stood the talkative person he had encountered earlier and an elderly scientist who appeared to be around seventy years old.
“Why did it take so long to open the door?” the talkative person complained.
Nan Yan lowered her head slightly, trying to avoid revealing the difference between herself and Xiao Qi. “Professor Yun was conducting a critical part of his experiment just now, so I was a bit delayed in opening the door.”
Before bowing her head, she glanced at the badge on the elderly scientist’s chest, which read “Deputy Director – Chen Muchen.”
Chen Muchen’s gaze swept over Nan Yan, and in a deep voice, he said, “You were the one conducting the experiment just now.”
The aura of someone conducting experiments was distinct from that of an assistant. At this moment, Nan Yan’s aura resembled that of someone who had just stepped away from the lab bench.
It was a subtle sensation, imperceptible to the eye, but Chen Muchen could sense it.
Even when caught conducting the experiment, Nan Yan remained composed and calmly explained, “Yes, Professor Yun mentioned that this experiment is relatively simple, so he let me try my hand at it.”
The talkative person chimed in with a laugh, “Little Qi is making rapid progress; she’s already able to conduct experiments so quickly.”
Chen Muchen furrowed his brow slightly, focusing on Nan Yan’s slightly lowered face. Suddenly, he spoke up, “You’re not Little Qi.” “Raise your head and remove your mask and face shield..”
