Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Nan Yan returned to her office and retrieved some items she needed from the safe. Before she could finish and close the safe’s door, her office door was pushed open again.
“Brother?”
Nan Yan turned around, feeling somewhat surprised to see the man who had suddenly appeared at her door.
“How did you get here?”
Qin Lu walked over to her and without saying a word, he hugged her.
Nan Yan hesitated for a moment, sensing the slightly heavier breath of the man near her ear. She could also feel his strong heartbeat through the layer of fabric, and it seemed like his emotions were quite unstable.
“What’s wrong, Brother?” Nan Yan’s hand hesitated before finally resting on his slender waist.
“Yanyan, don’t leave me,” Qin Lu said, his voice calm but filled with an underlying intensity.
Nan Yan wasn’t entirely sure why Qin Lu was suddenly showing his emotions like this, but she trusted her instincts. She wrapped her arms around his waist and made a sincere promise, “Okay.”
She had never cared about anyone like this before. Before her rebirth, she had never been involved in romantic relationships and had never thought that one day she would fall into a man’s gentle trap like an ordinary girl.
But she knew that Qin Lu was someone she could trust unconditionally.
Qin Lu found that all his restraint and self-control were on the verge of breaking in this moment.
He genuinely wished to become one with her, never letting go again.
Finally, his rationality won out, and he didn’t make any inappropriate moves. After all, she was still young, and those things would have to wait until she went to college.
His extraordinary self-control helped him regain his composure.
He released Nan Yan and smiled, asking, “Did you get what you wanted?”
Nan Yan didn’t tell him what she had taken but nodded, “Yes, Brother. Do you have anything else to do? If not, can we go back?”
“Let’s go. They’ve been waiting impatiently,” he replied, referring to Shen Junqing and Bai Chen.
These two guys, Nan Yan couldn’t figure out what was going on with them, but as soon as they met today, he felt that something was off. Every time they looked at each other, it seemed like they were not on good terms. When one spoke, the other would definitely make sarcastic remarks…
Nan Yan also noticed the strange interaction between the two of them and thought for a moment before saying, “Brother and Bai Chen must have had an argument, right?”
“Maybe,” he paused, “it won’t affect the main business, let them argue as they please.”
“Okay.”
Nan Yan automatically reached out her small hand, letting Qin Lu hold it, and the two of them returned to Marcus’s office together.
Shen Junqing rubbed his chin and asked Qin Lu, “When you went out, did you go to find Yanyan?”
This dog of a man, he never missed an opportunity to be alone with Nan Yan!
Although he knew he had no chance and understood Qin Lu’s relationship with Nan Yan, he wouldn’t interfere. However, he had objections to Qin Lu’s cunning and scheming nature.
But this also indirectly proved that to win a girlfriend, you had to shamelessly pursue her. No wonder he lost to him. That shameless dog of a man!
Qin Lu didn’t know that in the brief moment, so many thoughts had flashed through Shen Junqing’s mind. He replied calmly without going into further detail.
The reason for coming to Merck was not only to retrieve her belongings but also to discuss matters concerning dealing with the Seven Deadly Sins with Marcus. Nan Yan realized that she had forgotten about Marcus when she went to get her things earlier. She had specifically asked him to wait for her and come back together. However, when Qin Lu left, she completely forgot about it.
She went back to find Marcus, who was still unaware of the situation. When he returned with her in front of everyone, he intentionally praised her, showing a clear infatuation.
Now that everyone was here, Nan Yan laid out her plan clearly and systematically. The key was speed. Whoever could uncover the other’s secrets faster would gain an advantage. And she was determined not to lose.
“When it comes to the Seven Deadly Sins, I have a piece of inside information.” Marcus said, his expression turning solemn after Nan Yan finished speaking.
Nan Yan asked, “What’s the inside information?”
Marcus replied, “I heard it by chance at a medical banquet once. Someone said that the Seven Deadly Sins are conducting biochemical experiments, and they have now developed biohumans.”
This news made everyone present look grave.
Human genetic experiments, in simple terms, meant altering the genes of normal individuals. It was entirely different from cloning technology.
Cloning involved replicating the cells and genes of a mother organism to create a clone with 100% identical genes. Genetic modification, on the other hand, was completely different.
It defied the laws of nature, forcibly changing the genetic makeup of living organisms. For example, giving a person wings like an eagle, scales like a snake, or claws like an armadillo…
Those examples were relatively tame compared to the more horrifying human experiments, which aimed to create super soldiers or human weapons.
“Generally, insider information tends to be confirmed in the end. It seems that the Seven Deadly Sins have made significant breakthroughs in genetic modification,” Qin Lu said, gaining agreement from everyone. “It appears we need to accelerate our progress,” Nan Yan said decisively. “Since that’s the case, let’s magnify the bait and lure them to expose their vulnerabilities more quickly.”
“Xing Jia, you will use Nyan’s identity to publicize the existence of the T-2 genetic drug, stirring up this otherwise calm pond.”
The fact that Xi Shijin was so obsessed with T-2 indicated that the Seven Deadly Sins highly valued this drug. Six months had passed, and they hadn’t found a substitute for it. When Xing Jia brought out the real T-2, it would undoubtedly capture their attention.
However, Xing Jia’s safety might also be at risk. The Seven Deadly Sins would stop at nothing to make her join their organization, whether through coercion or temptation. The end result would be the same.
Xing Jia, being a clever person and understanding Nan Yan’s plan, nodded, saying, “Alright.”
Meanwhile, Shen Junqing and Bai Chen took over Marcus’s role and made contact with the other group..
