Qin Lu nodded faintly.
Reconciliation between them was likely impossible.
If it turned out that the person Caesar had mentioned was indeed the Qin Zhixiu mentioned by Old Madam Qin, then their conflict would escalate.
However, he didn’t want to discuss these matters with his grandmother until everything was thoroughly investigated.
“Grandma, I have some matters to attend to, so I won’t stay at home for long. I’ll come back to keep you company once I’m done,” Qin Lu said.
His grandmother glanced at him and coldly stated, “I don’t need your company; I want Yanyan to be with me!”
Qin Lu:
Back in the United States from China, Qin Lu met up with Li Yuan.
Two men whose actions could influence the global financial arena and easily trigger financial storms began working together against the Seven Deadly Sins.
The headquarters of the Seven Deadly Sins was breached within a day, but upon entering, they discovered that the Seven Deadly Sins members had already evacuated.
Only some insignificant individuals were left behind.
All the experimental subjects and research data in this place had been destroyed, leaving nothing behind.
“We arrived a step too late,” Li Yuan remarked, his expression dark.
The leak of information about the Seven Deadly Sins headquarters, along with the infiltration by outsiders, meant that Nolan, with his character, couldn’t afford to stay there any longer.
After visiting Nan Yan at the hospital and returning, he began the process of relocating.
When he left the hospital, the words he had spoken to Nan Yan bought them time, and within three days, the massive laboratory had been completely moved.
During those three days of seclusion, Qin Lu had overlooked one crucial detail.
What he hadn’t anticipated was that, aside from the exposed location, there was also a hidden exit at the Seven Deadly Sins headquarters.
So, under Qin Lu’s surveillance, they moved out calmly and composedly, even leaving a taunting message behind: a demolished ruin and a listening device implanted in Strelar’s internal organs…
Qin Lu had been played by Nolan, and his anger was nearly palpable.
However, being angry now was or no use.
They had missed their opportunity and lost their lead, leaving them with no choice but to continue the investigation.
Qin Lu and Li Yuan went to Merck Biotech to meet with Nan Yan.
When she emerged from the laboratory and they told her about the Seven Deadly Sins being evacuated, Nan Yan listened quietly for a moment before saying, “We were too careless.”
She hadn’t considered this possibility. Nolan was cautious, opportunistic, and skilled at profiting in the shadows. There was no way he would leave his headquarters exposed without taking action.
Her exhaustion from dealing with Shen Junqing and Bai Chen’s conditions had caused her to overlook potential flaws in her plans.
But it was a missed opportunity, and she couldn’t help but feel a bit regretful. It would have been an excellent chance for revenge.
Despite her slight regret, it didn’t affect her overall mindset. For her, the top priority was saving Shen Junqing and Bai Chen. The matter of revenge could wait since she had now identified the real culprit.
Her emotions remained calm.
The progress on finding a cure was slow and had even temporarily stalled. Nan Yan had to change her plan, stabilizing their vital signs for the time being. After that, she decided to go to the Imperial University to find Zong Jinqi.
Zong Jinqi was the dean of the biology department at the Imperial University and was also her father’s mentor.
When she had originally decided to attend the Imperial University, her main reason was to become his student and learn from him. She still had a year left before she would take the college entrance exams and enter the university.
However, it seemed she couldn’t wait that long now. She intended to take their independent admission test before the start of the new semester and become a student at the Imperial University. Then, she could ask Dean Zong for assistance in researching the cure.
With her decision made, Nan Yan entrusted the care of Shen Junqing and Bai Chen to Marcus.
Marcus, whom she had personally trained and who had decent skills, received help from Mu Feng, sent by Qin Lu, to assist him.
After hearing Nan Yan’s plan, Li Yuan and Li Yuan both expressed their understanding and advised her not to put too much pressure on herself.
Zui Gui earnestly said, “Yanyan, I believe Bai Chen wouldn’t want you to push yourself too hard. We can all wait, whether it’s one year, two years, three years, or even five years, we can wait, you know?”
Nan Yan looked at him and shook her head slowly. “I won’t let them sleep for so long.”
One year was the maximum time she could give herself.
She couldn’t let them remain in their current state indefinitely!
