Chapter 271: Feeling Uneasy

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation      Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Can you save my mother?”

The middle-aged man by the hospital bed asked anxiously after hearing what Nan Yan said.

“There’s no way to cure her; I can only extend her life by a few months.” Nan Yan met the middle-aged man’s gaze squarely. “But as you’ve seen, her current existence is full of suffering. Are you sure you want to pursue treatment?”

The pain of a cancer attack is like a thousand arrows piercing the heart, and

she has already developed immunity to most painkillers. Even the strongest anesthetics would have little effect on her.

“Can you at least make her wake up?” The middle-aged man’s eyes turned red. “My mother still has a lot of research experience to offer. If she leaves like this, it will be a loss for our country!”

“My mother has devoted her entire life to serving the country, ensuring that our country does not fall behind in technology compared to other nations. She has poured her heart and soul into her work.”

“Her experiences are invaluable, the result of countless days and nights of effort. If we can retain that knowledge, we can save so much time and effort.”

“If you have any way, please, I beg you…”

Nan Yan felt a heavy weight in her chest, causing discomfort. If it were two months earlier, she might have had a way to extend the old woman’s life by at least three years. Unfortunately, now it was truly too late…

Unless…

Nan Yan was in a dilemma.

The T-2 drug had a ninety percent chance of saving the old woman!

However, if the T-2 drug appeared, the western countries would definitely discover her existence.

Moreover, Xi Shijin only had one final dose.

He had thought that with the finished product and the formula, he could produce T-2 in large quantities. But now he must have realized that even with the formula in front of him, he couldn’t successfully replicate it. That one finished dose could be considered a unique product in the world…

Nan Yan closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then opened them. “I can save her.”

It was impossible for her to stand by and let someone die, especially considering the old woman’s selfless dedication to her country.

Before the middle-aged man could show his excitement, she continued, “But I need your assurance that you won’t tell anyone that it was me who cured her.”

“If someone asks, you should come up with reasons, but don’t involve me. I dislike trouble.”

“Thank you, thank you, Little Miracle Doctor!” The middle-aged man nodded eagerly, agreeing to her terms.

Even Tao Qingming appeared somewhat surprised. “Nan Yan, can you really cure late-stage cancer?”

Nan Yan shook her head. “It’s not a complete cure; I can only alleviate her condition, so she doesn’t have to endure this pain anymore.”

“And, I can only guarantee that she’ll have at least three more years.”

The middle-aged man, tearful with gratitude, said, “That’s already more than enough. Thank you, thank you so much!”

He couldn’t find words other than ‘thank you’ to express his gratitude to Nan Yan. Even if it were just three months, he would be grateful. Moreover, Nan Yan had mentioned that she could relieve his mother’s pain.

“I’ll send her a medicine shortly, and after she receives the injection, her pain will lessen. Afterward, I’ll need access to a top-tier laboratory.”

The Shen family’s laboratory didn’t have the required level of equipment. It could barely produce T-1 drug, but the standards for T-2 were much higher, and that laboratory couldn’t meet them.

The middle-aged man replied, “The laboratory where my mother works has the most advanced equipment in the world.”

Nan Yan then inquired, “How’s the confidentiality? I need to enter alone, and no images or information should leak out.”

He assured her, “The confidentiality in a national-level laboratory is absolutely guaranteed. When you and I enter, no information will be disclosed.”

She asked further, “Are you also part of the national laboratory?”

The middle-aged man nodded. “To be honest, I don’t have my mother’s talent, but I barely qualify as a research scientist.”

Tao Qingming chimed in, “Mr. Yun is too modest. Being a national-level researcher isn’t considered talented? Then what is considered talented?” Yun Jingshan shook his head. “In terms of ability, I still have a long way to go.”

Nan Yan didn’t pay much attention to their conversation. She found a piece of paper in the hospital room and listed the items she needed. Since she could access the national laboratory, gathering the necessary materials should be relatively easy. For some more unique components, she would search for them in the dark domain herself.

After finishing the list, she handed it to Yun Jingshan. “Contact me once everything is ready.”

Yun Jingshan, after seeing the listed materials, had a moment of surprise in his expression, followed by a focused gaze fixed on Nan Yan. It took him a while before he nodded and said, “I can obtain all these materials.’

With the plan in place, Nan Yan returned to her old mansion. Later, she visited the unconscious elderly woman in the hospital to administer the T-1 drug injection.

As she sat in the car on her way back from the hospital, Nan Yan remained silent. Qin Lu turned his head to look at her and gently caressed her head, asking, “Yanyan, is something bothering you?”

This time, Nan Yan didn’t react negatively to his touch on her head. Instead, she leaned against his shoulder wearily and muttered:

“Brother, because of a decision I’ve made, our peaceful days may become a thing of the past…”

She hadn’t originally planned to confront the Western side so soon. However, with the appearance of T-2, even if she didn’t reveal her identity, it would draw their attention.

Thinking about her group of enemies, Nan Yan was feeling uneasy. Qin Lu’s expression darkened slightly as he inquired, “Is there a danger?”

He wasn’t clear about Nan Yan’s full identity, but from her demonstrated abilities, it was not hard to see that she had many secrets behind her. Nan Yan hadn’t disclosed these secrets, and he respected her decision not to share them. “That’s possible,” Nan Yan bit her lip. “But who will be in danger remains to be seen. I won’t just sit there and wait for them to cause trouble. I might take the initiative.”

“Do whatever you want to do; you have your brother by your side,” Qin Lu said, patting her head. “You’re a quite mysterious little kid.”

Nan Yan protested, “Well, your identity is pretty mysterious too”Do you want to know? I can tell you everything,” Qin Lu said.

Nan Yan replied,

The problem was that she didn’t want to know! The more she knew, the deeper the bond between them would become, and it would be even harder to separate from him in the future.

How could she continue to be a “bad girl” if that happened?

So, she simply pretended to be dead, leaning on Qin Lu’s shoulder and avoiding the topic.

Qin Lu, helpless and amused, after a while, asked her, “Heading home?”

“Yes.”

M Country.

The highest research institute.

Xi Shijin pointed at a group of researchers and scolded, “You bunch of idiots, do you all lack brains? Why is it taking so long, and you still haven’t synthesized T-2?”

“Do you know how valuable those materials are? We’ve wasted so much, and not a single finished product to show for it. How are you going to explain this to me!”

He truly couldn’t believe it. Even with the formula he obtained from Nan Yan, he couldn’t replicate T-2 according to the formula. The President had provided him with all sorts of resources, and if he still couldn’t produce it in the end, what would he do?

Could it be that Nan Yan, that vile woman, had deceived him?
