A subtle change in Nan Yan’s eyes.

Surprisingly, Xi Shijin was also among the Seven Deadly Sins.

This was unexpected for her.

The Seven Deadly Sins had always been extremely low-profile, and they had never appeared in front of the public eye, remaining hidden in the shadows.

Perhaps, if it weren’t for her implanting a listening device in Strelar, they might not have surfaced until now.

However…

She gazed at Qin Lu with a cool expression, “Any leads on the other party?”

“Not yet,” Qin Lu replied.

It was quite strange for him too.

In this world, there were things he couldn’t find.

How secretive must those leads be if even his influence couldn’t uncover them?

Or perhaps, did that faction even exist?

Nan Yan’s expression became slightly more serious, “It looks like we need to investigate thoroughly.”

Xing Jia stood by, completely bewildered, not understanding what the young master and Miss Nan were talking about.

However, as a competent subordinate, she only needed to follow orders and didn’t have to worry about things she didn’t understand.

Nan Yan was quite interested in this unknown faction, and she was prepared to invest some effort into the investigation. In the past, she had focused solely on Xi Shijin, but it seemed she had wasted half a year due to her narrow focus.

But starting today, she had a new target, one that would require a significant amount of her energy.

With her new target set, Nan Yan pondered and asked, “Brother, aren’t you busy with matters in your homeland?”

Qin Lu held her small hand and reassured her with warmth in his eyes, “No, someone else is handling things.”

It seemed like he had guessed her intentions, and Qin Lu, with a loving expression, said, “Whatever you want to do, go ahead. If anything happens, I’ll support you.”

Xing Jia was already on the brink of madness, shocked by the gentleness and affection displayed by the usually cold and fierce young master.

Then, with trembling hands, she messaged Wu Yue: “Isn’t the young master being too doting towards Miss Nan? My goodness!”

Was this the same young master who was usually ruthless and godlike?

He clearly appeared to be a lovesick madman!

Wu Yue replied: “Get used to it. Miss Nan is the apple of the young master’s eye!”

She’s treated with extreme care and highly valued by the young master.

Although Miss Nan herself was already incredibly capable, the young master was always afraid she might suffer even the slightest grievance or setback!

Of course, he had no intention of telling Xing Jia about these feelings now. It was quite challenging to be the only one in this dogged pursuit of love, and having one more companion wasn’t a bad idea.

Xing Jia, after reading the message from Wu Yue, became even more determined. She was determined to cling to the future Mrs. Qin’s thigh!

In the evening, Nan Yan finally returned to Xi Shijin’s underground research facility.

Xi Shijin had been waiting for her.

When he saw her return, he felt like he could finally breathe easy. He stood up and walked over. “Nan Yan, did you bring the medicine back?”

“Here you go.”

Nan Yan handed him a vial of the drug.

It was a drug she had guided Mu Feng to concoct. It was slightly different from T-2 but much more effective than T-1.

With their recent plan, Nan Yan had effectively shifted Xi Shijin’s suspicion away from her and onto Xing Jia, who had lured away most of his attention. This allowed Nan Yan to work more covertly to investigate him and the forces behind him.

Xi Shijin excitedly accepted the vial and quickly rushed to his laboratory.

He wanted to personally analyze the ingredients and effects of this drug.

Nan Yan watched his retreating figure, her eyes revealing an ever-changing glint. A sinister curve slowly formed at the corner of her lips, sending shivers down one’s spine.

Subsequently, she returned to her own room, turned on her computer, and rapidly typed on the keyboard.

She intended to uncover all the secrets hidden within this laboratory.

Inside the laboratory, Xi Shijin carefully extracted a drop of the drug from the test tube and placed it into the analysis device.

With bated breath, he waited for nearly ten minutes until the device finally analyzed the components and effects of the drug.

“It’s not T-2…”

Xi Shijin’s face fell with disappointment.

While the efficacy of this sample was indeed good, it couldn’t match the sheer potency of T-2.

But it’s also not comparable to T-1.

In fact, he had already anticipated this result in advance. Even with the formula and manufacturing method left by Nan Yan, he had struggled for so

long without successfully reproducing another batch of T-2.

Although Nyan had obtained Nan Yan’s formula and production method, pharmaceuticals were a delicate matter, and the slightest deviation could result in errors.

Her achievement was already quite commendable.

As long as Nyan could contribute to his research facility, he could report to Mr. President and continue to secure his position.

However…

This drug didn’t meet the organization’s requirements; it needed further enhancement.

Xi Shijin pinched his forehead in frustration.

He was just about to find Nan Yan and inquire about Nyan’s arrival at the research facility when his phone rang.

He took out a non-smart phone with a simple black button and a two-inch screen. Seeing the incoming call on the screen, he didn’t dare to delay and quickly answered.

On the other end, Nan Yan, who was investigating him, noticed that he was answering a call. Her eyes narrowed, and she attempted to intercept his call.

Her intuition told her that this call had something to do with the Seven Deadly Sins.

Her typing speed became faster and faster, leaving virtual traces on the keyboard. Her actions were so rapid that the computer’s response speed couldn’t keep up with her pace. Often, she had already moved on to the next command before the screen displayed her previous action.

In just fifteen seconds, she forcefully infiltrated Xi Shijin’s call and established a connection with her computer. The ongoing conversation from the call transmitted to her computer.

Through her Bluetooth earpiece, she could hear the voices of two people talking.

“It’s not her,” Xi Shijin’s tone was decisive. “Although both of their names are Nan Yan, she is not Nan Mingxuan’s daughter.”

“Nan Yan was dealt with by my own hands initially. Her body was burned to ashes, dead beyond resurrection. There’s no possibility of her coming back to life. I’m now more suspicious of Nyan!” Xi Shijin continued.

“Nyan?” Lawrence asked.

“Yes, the one who’s been making headlines lately, Nyan. She should be Nan

Yan’s friend. She has the formula for T-2 and has even produced a lower-grade version of the genetic drug. Although it doesn’t meet our requirements, if we strengthen it and find the right formula, we can definitely reproduce the genetic drug that Nan Yan created!”

Xi Shijin’s tone was excited and even tinged with anticipation. For the sake of this drug, he regretted killing Nan Yan too early, which had led to a suspension of the headquarters’ plans.

He had almost become the organization’s scapegoat.

But how could he have known that the wretched Nan Yan would play a trick on him before her death, not leaving the real formula for him?

Could it be that he unintentionally exposed his identity, arousing her suspicion?

Thinking about these things now was too late. She had been dead for six months, and he couldn’t possibly dig her out of the ground and whip her body.

Lawrence asked, “Xi Shijin, are you sure she can reproduce the genuine T-2 drug?”
