Chapter 301 - 301: Nan Yan’s Identity Exposed
Under Chen Muchen’s request, Nan Yan had no choice but to remove her face shield and mask.
Her identity was exposed.
“Who are you?” Chen Muchen’s gaze was sharp as he looked at her sternly.
“Hello, Deputy Director Chen, I am Nan Yan.”
Nan Yan calmly introduced herself to him.
The talkative person next to them stared at Nan Yan in disbelief, muttering to himself, “So, I didn’t make a mistake earlier…
He had felt that Little Qi’s height had suddenly increased, which seemed unusual.
“How did you end up here? Does Yun Jingshan know your true identity?”
“You better be clear about your intentions and motives! Otherwise, the most severe interrogation awaits you!”
Chen Muchen’s tone grew increasingly severe, almost as if he could see through Nan Yan.
“Could you please give me another five minutes?” Nan Yan remained composed, showing no signs of panic or confusion from being caught impersonating someone. “My experiment is in its final stages. After I complete it, I will fully cooperate with your inquiries.”
Inside the laboratory, Yun Jingshan, who continued to work on the experiment, had been growing anxious about the commotion outside. However, he couldn’t afford to interrupt the experiment. The materials used for preparing the medications were extremely precious, and any wastage would result in significant losses.
Even though he had broken the laboratory rules by bringing an outsider in, he was doing it to save his mother. He believed that once everything was explained, he would, at worst, face some disciplinary actions but not severe punishments.
Upon hearing Nan Yan’s words, he quickly shouted from inside the laboratory,
“Deputy Director Chen, I also share responsibility for this matter. I invited Dr. Nan to assist us. Please, give us another five minutes!”
Nan to assist us. Please, give us another five minutes!”
Chen Muchen’s stern and commanding gaze continued to scrutinize Nan Yan.
Nan Yan remained calm.
After a brief moment, Chen Muchen spoke, “Continue with your experiment for now. Once you’ve completed it, come with me immediately for questioning.”
“Thank you.”
Nan Yan nodded slightly and then returned to the lab.
“Mr. Yun, I’ll take over from here. Please go and explain the situation to Deputy Director Chen.”
“Alright.” Yun Jingshan’s expression was serious. “Dr. Nan, don’t worry. I won’t let anything happen to you!”
Five minutes later…
Nan Yan divided the prepared medication into special test tubes and carefully placed them alongside the T-2 reagent she had previously created. After some consideration, she took out a T-1 reagent, which she intended to hand over to Deputy Director Chen later. She had no immediate plans to share the T-2 reagent with anyone, but T-1 could be provided to the National Laboratory for ingredient analysis.
After leaving the laboratory, Nan Yan and Yun Jingshan were brought to Chen Muchen’s office.
“Do you believe she can save Old Professor Yun?” Chen Muchen looked at her with a skeptical expression, as if he had heard an unbelievable tale.
Old Professor Yun had late-stage cancer that had already spread throughout her body. Even experts from the top hospital in the capital had determined that her condition was beyond treatment.
Nan Yan corrected him, “Not cure, but I can extend Old Professor Yun’s life by three years and alleviate her suffering, allowing her to live more comfortably in her remaining years.”
“Deputy Director Chen, do you know Tao Qingming?”
“The President of the Chinese Medicine Association, Director Tao?”
“That’s him. You may not believe what I say, so let Mr. Tao explain my identity to you.”
Nan Yan recognized that her youthful appearance was deceiving, making it difficult for normal people to believe in her abilities. Therefore, she preferred to have qualified individuals vouch for her.
Chen Muchen’s expression grew solemn as he took out his phone, found Tao Qingming’s number from his contacts, and dialed it.
“Old Chen? Why do you have time to call me?” Tao Qingming’s voice contained some curiosity, but he soon understood, saying, “Have you encountered my little friend, Nan Yan?”
Chen Muchen’s gaze landed on Nan Yan as he replied, “Yes, Yun Jingshan brought her here and secretly conducted experiments in the National Laboratorv. I discovered them.”
“How is Old Professor Yun’s condition under your care now?”
Tao Qingming had already guessed the purpose of Chen Muchen’s call when he received it.
He chuckled and said, “Hehe, if you want to know about Old Professor Yun’s condition, you should ask Nan Yan. She is Old Professor Yun’s attending physician, responsible for her treatment.”
“Are her claims true, that she can extend Old Professor Yun’s life by three years and alleviate her suffering?”
“Old Chen, let me tell you, despite Nan Yan’s young age, her medical skills surpass mine. She even saved that individual from the Cheng family.”
Tao Qingming paused for a moment and spoke with unwavering trust, “If she says she can do it, then she absolutely can.”
“Furthermore, Old Chen, Nan Yan borrowed the laboratory from Yun Jingshan for the sake of Old Professor Yun. I understand your institution’s rules don’t allow outsiders into the laboratory, but considering the respect we have for Old Professor Yun and me, please don’t make things difficult for her.”
“After all, she is not doing this for personal gain but to save Old Professor Yun.” Tao Qingming’s words added complexity to Chen Muchen’s gaze as he looked at
Nan Yan.
“I’ll consider it carefully, Mr. Tao. For now, I’ll end the call.”
After hanging up the phone, Yun Jingshan spoke up, “Deputy Director Chen, if there’s any blame to be assigned, you can place it on me. It was my request that brought Doctor Nan here to save my mother.”
“She’s not at fault; the blame lies with me.’
“Jingshan, please be quiet. I have questions for Miss Nan.”
Chen Muchen’s tone was stern. “Miss Nan, I need to know about the medications you prepared in the laboratory.”
“I understand it was for the purpose of saving Professor Yun, but this is a matter of regulations. I need to document it.”
“Deputy Director Chen, I’m sorry, but I can’t tell you.” Nan Yan took out the vial of T-1 reagent that she had set aside and handed it to him. “This is the only medication that can save Professor Yun, and it’s a formula that hasn’t been publicly disclosed worldwide, so it can’t be made public.”
“I’ll leave this bottle of medication in the National Laboratory for your research, as compensation for my use of the laboratory.”
Chen Muchen accepted the vial and examined it, furrowing his brows. “What is
Nan Yan replied calmly, “T-1.”
Both Chen Muchen and Yun Jingshan were stunned.
“T-1 has been improved to reduce side effects. Once you decipher the formula, it can be put into mass production.”
This was something Nan Yan had been wanting to do after further refining the
T-1 reagent. Mass production of T-2 was not feasible at the moment, not just because the raw materials were too precious but also because the ownership of
T-2 currently rested with Xi Shijin.
Only when she exposed Xi Shijin and reclaimed the honor that rightfully belonged to her would she be able to use the T-2 formula legitimately to benefit society.
T-1 was not as sensitive, and even if it were exposed now, it wouldn’t attract too much attention from the United States.
“Miss Nan, are you not joking?”
Yun Jingshan had personally assisted Nan Yan in several steps of the experiment, and only now did he realize that he had been involved in preparing T-1.
Nan Yan raised an eyebrow, smiling defiantly. “I never joke..”
