Chapter 320: An Unpleasant Request

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation      Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Old Professor Yun’s gaze briefly swept over Qin Lu, then he turned to Nan Yan and asked, “Dr. Nan, may I have a private conversation with you?”

Nan Yan replied, “Of course.”

Without the need for Nan Yan to say anything, Qin Lu voluntarily left the hospital room. Joining him was Yun Jingshan.

Once the room was empty, leaving only Nan Yan and Old Professor Yun, the professor couldn’t hide her excitement any longer. She began by asking, “Dr. Nan, did you use the T-2 serum to help me recover?”

Nan Yan’s thoughts were stirred slightly. It seemed her earlier concerns were well-founded. When Old Professor Yun was discharged, and people saw her improving health, they would inevitably start speculating about what miracle drug she had used.

Old Professor Yun was not only famous in China but also internationally renowned. Her previous diagnosis of late-stage cancer, near-death experience, and remarkable recovery had been widely reported on the international stage. She was a prominent scientist in China, receiving numerous international awards and frequently listed among the top fifty most influential scientists worldwide.

Her influence was undeniable.

Nan Yan remained silent, which led Old Professor Yun to sigh and say, “It seems my guess was correct.”

“Dr. Nan, using the T-2 serum on me feels like such a waste! If we could hand it over to our national laboratory and let them research the formula, it could benefit so many more people!”

“Over in Country M, they’re gloating over their success in developing the T-2 serum, mocking our country for its inability to do the same. This is such a golden opportunity, and I’ve wasted it…”

As Old Professor Yun spoke, she unconsciously clenched her hand, her face showing a mix of regret and frustration, emotions she couldn’t conceal.

Nan Yan listened quietly and could vaguely discern the purpose of Old Professor Yun’s request for a private conversation.

After a brief pause, Old Professor Yun regained her composure and earnestly looked at Nan Yan. “Dr. Nan, I have an unpleasant request. I’d like to invite you to join our national laboratory and participate in the research and development of a T-2 serum specifically for our country.”

“I understand that this request may be difficult for you. It’s evident that you have connections with Country M, given your access to the T-2 serum. However, I hope that you can serve our nation and contribute to the advancement of scientific research in our homeland.’

Nan Yan could clearly sense Old Professor Yun’s sincere patriotism and love for her country. Old Professor Yun had dedicated her entire life to serving her country, even leading her son onto the same path, so he too could contribute to their nation.

Nan Yan lowered her gaze and various thoughts raced through her mind. Finally, she grasped Old Professor Yun’s hand and replied with determination, “Alright.’

Her own parents had once been scientists in China, but they were eventually ostracized and slandered, ultimately being expelled from the laboratory.

When she was a child, she had often heard her parents say that their roots were Chinese, and they would always be Chinese throughout their lives.

Returning to the National Laboratory had always been her parents’ dream.

Since her parents couldn’t come back, she would fulfill their dream on their behalf.

“That’s fantastic!” Old Professor Yun said with excitement when Nan Yan agreed. Her face was filled with a smile. “I’ll call the director right away and inform him about your situation!”

Nan Yan patted her gently on the hand to calm her excited emotions. “Old

Professor Yun, a few days ago, I went to the National Laboratory, and Vice Director Chen has already applied for a special access pass for me. After my college entrance exams are over, I’ll report to the National Laboratory.” “Did you receive an invitation from Mu Chen?” Old Professor Yun asked with a smile. “Or did he act even faster? In any case, let him handle the arrangements.”

Her intention was to get Nan Yan into the National Laboratory. Since they had already reached an agreement, it didn’t matter who had taken the initiative.

Nan Yan and Old Professor Yun talked for a while longer, but then Old Professor Yun started feeling drowsy, so Nan Yan got up to leave.

Outside the room, Qin Lu and Yun Jingshan were sitting quietly on a bench in the hallway.

It seemed they didn’t have much in common, so they both had their phones out and weren’t engaging in conversation.

Qin Lu looked up as the door opened. “Are you finished talking?”

Nan Yan walked over to him. “Yes, I’m going to check on Third Senior Brother now. After that, we can go back.”

Qin Lu smiled indulgently. “Alright.’

After spending another half hour in Fu Yubai’s hospital room, Nan Yan’s expression changed slightly due to a message she received.

“Third Senior Brother, there’s something I need to attend to. I’ll visit you again when I have time. For now, I’ll head back.”

Fu Yubai replied gently, “Go ahead.”

He added, “Little Junior Sister, if you don’t have time, don’t worry about me. I’m fine here.’

Nan Yan was in a hurry and didn’t say much. She grabbed Qin Lu’s hand and started walking out.

Qin Lu, who had long legs, followed easily. He couldn’t help but ask, “Yanyan, what’s going on?”

Nan Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly. “I need to pick someone up at the airport.”

Bai Chen had just messaged her, saying he had arrived at Jin city Airport and had already disembarked.

Even though Bai Chen hadn’t explicitly asked her to pick him up, she couldn’t leave him stranded at the airport and have him take a taxi to find her.

That would be disrespectful to him.

So, she replied to him, telling him to wait at the airport for a while, as she would be there shortly.

Qin Lu raised an eyebrow thoughtfully. “A friend?”

Nan Yan nodded. “Yes, a very important friend.”

“Oh,” Qin Lu pinched her small hand. “Don’t worry, big brother will take you to the airport to pick him up.”

Nan Yan suddenly stopped and looked up at him. “Big brother, I want to go by myself. ”

“He has a somewhat special status and doesn’t like to interact with outsiders. Big brother, can I borrow your car?” Nan Yan asked.

Qin Lu hadn’t expected Nan Yan to decline his company. He sighed and took out the car keys, placing them in her palm. “Go ahead, take the car, and I’ll call

Wu Yue to pick me up.”

Nan Yan took the car keys and left Qin Lu behind as she rushed into the elevator.

Qin Lu, left behind, had an expressionless face but was grinding his teeth.

Who was this little one’s friend?

At the airport.

Bai Chen was dressed in casual white attire, pushing a small suitcase. He strolled leisurely through the airport, taking his time.

This was his first time in China.

If it weren’t for Nan Yan, he probably wouldn’t have come here in his lifetime.

Although he had some Chinese blood in him, he didn’t feel any connection to the country. He had grown up abroad and had never been to China before, so he hadn’t paid much attention to things here.

But for now, he had a good impression of it.

At least, he liked the environment and modern facilities here.

After walking out of the airport terminal, Bai Chen found a conspicuous spot and casually sat on his 18-inch silver suitcase, waiting for Nan Yan to pick him up.

It was his first time in China after three years, and he wondered how much she had changed.

Was she even more beautiful than before?

He had been waiting for about twenty minutes when a luxurious Rolls-Royce pulled up not far from him.

Subsequently, a beautiful young woman got out of the car and walked directly towards him….
