The plane landed in Jin City.
But as soon as it landed, Nan Yan and Qin Lu, along with the man who had attempted to create a biochemical toxin leak on the plane, were taken to the police station.
Nan Yan had already taught the man a lesson on the plane.
Furthermore, under the torment, he revealed his name.
His name was James, an unemployed drifter.
There were two reasons he had created such a commotion on the plane.
One was that he had previously accumulated a massive debt due to drug addiction and gambling, and someone had offered him a substantial sum of money to place these items on the plane.
As for how the gun and biochemical toxin had passed security checks and ended up on the plane, someone had arranged it for him.
The second reason was that he was terminally ill, with at most six months left to live.
And he was in excruciating pain, relying on painkillers and hallucinogens to get through each day.
In his own words, for someone like him, being free from pain and quietly dying would be considered lucky.
Besides this, Nan Yan and Qin Lu didn’t extract any useful information.
He didn’t know the identity of the person he had worked for or their motives. He had just been paid to do a job and knew nothing else.
So Nan Yan also didn’t know if this person had come after her or Qin Lu. This had become a mystery, but both of them would use their own methods to uncover the person’s identity and motives.
After making a statement at the police station, the two of them had no other issues and were released.
Wu Yue happened to drive over.
Qin Lu rubbed the girl’s head beside him, his features filled with gentleness.
“How about grabbing a meal first?”
They hadn’t eaten much on the plane because the airplane food tasted terrible.
“Sure,” Nan Yan agreed.
They had a late-night meal at a local private restaurant, and then Qin Lu drove Nan Yan back to her old mansion.
Before getting out of the car, Qin Lu gently stroked her long hair cascading down her back and spoke in a soothing voice, “Yanyan, do you have time tomorrow?”
Nan Yan thought for a moment. “I should be free.”
Tomorrow was the weekend, and she didn’t have any classes.
Although she had retrieved the Fire Flintstone and Blood Lingzhi Mushrooms, the rest of the medicinal ingredients had not yet been delivered, so she couldn’t start making the medicine right away.
As for the Yu Jingshan’s national-level laboratory, it wasn’t so easy to secure a spot, and she was still waiting for news.
Qin Lu’s eyes revealed a faint, gentle smile. “Well then, see you tomorrow?”
“Yes.”
Nan Yan stood at the doorstep of the old house, watching the black Rolls-Royce drive away before heading inside.
It was already around eleven at night, and Old Master An and Jiang Nai had both gone to sleep.
The living room still had the lights on, and she realized that An Xiran was dozing off on the sofa.
She hadn’t seen him for a while now.
Most of the time, they communicated through their phones, as An Xiran was currently busy with his esports team and rarely had time to come back.
She stood in front of the sofa, looking down at the dark circles under An Xiran’s eyes, a result of staying up late. She planned to make some medicine for him to drink tomorrow to prevent him from straining his body.
“Fourth Brother, go back to your room and sleep,” Nan Yan gently pushed him.
An Xiran, in a daze, opened his eyes and yawned unceremoniously. “Yanyan, you’re back.”
He rubbed his eyes and regained some energy. “What time is it now?”
“It’s a little past eleven.”
“So late?” An Xiran suddenly woke up completely. “Yanyan, where did you go? Why are you back so late?”
“I had some things to take care of that delayed me. Why, Fourth Brother? Did you wait for me here on purpose?”
“Well, not really. Fourth Brother just missed you and wanted to see you.”
“These days have been too busy, and I haven’t had the time to accompany you.
Fourth Brother feels quite guilty about it.”
An Xiran knew that Nan Yan didn’t care much about her family’s affection.
The only ones she held close to her heart were him and Old Master An.
The people from the Nan family were scoundrels, and her parents weren’t good people in her eyes either. Her blood relations were too thin.
Therefore, he really wanted to pamper her so that she could be like other little girls, pampered by her brother like a little princess.
Originally, he had finished his work early today and finally managed to free up some time to come see her at the old house.
But he ended up waiting, waiting until now…
“I’m doing well,” Nan Yan replied softly, her voice calm. She gazed at him with clear, black eyes. “Next time you want to find me, remember to let me know.”
“I was afraid of disturbing you, and besides, I also want to spend time with Grandpa.”
An Xiran knew that Nan Yan had gone out with Qin Lu. He didn’t want to bother the two of them, so he hadn’t sent her any messages.
Seeing that An Xiran seemed to have something on his mind, Nan Yan sat across from him. “How’s the esports team doing these days?”
Whenever the topic of the esports team was brought up, An Xiran’s eyes would light up with enthusiasm.
He smiled and said, “Our team has been developing quite well. Little K and the others have fully recovered from their injuries without any lasting effects. They are currently undergoing training and preparing for upcoming competitions.”
“Oh, by the way, Yanyan, if you have some free time, why not create an account for live streaming? I’m currently expanding into this business, and you could be the face of it. All the income from the live streams would go to you. What do you think?”
An Xiran was still concerned about Nan Yan’s financial situation.
Nowadays, self-media and live streaming industries had become new ways to make money. Top influencers could earn millions for a single live stream. Although it was a far cry from the billions she needed, every bit counted, and it wouldn’t require much effort.
“Sure,” Nan Yan nodded.
For her, this wouldn’t be a difficult task at all.
Devoting an hour a day to live streaming wouldn’t be a problem.
An Xiran hadn’t expected Nan Yan to agree so readily. He had intended to persuade her further.
Seeing the slight weariness on the girl’s cool face, he felt a pang of heartache and said, “It’s quite late today, Yanyan. You’ve had a tiring day. Go back and rest early. Isn’t tomorrow Sunday? You can go to the company, and I’ll arrange the account and equipment for you.”
“Tomorrow might not work. I promised Qin Lu. Let’s do it on Monday afternoon after school.”
“Alright.”
The next day, after Nan Yan finished her workout and changed her clothes, Qin Lu’s car was parked outside the old house.
She informed Old Master An and headed out.
Today, Qin Lu was driving, and he had left Wu Yue in the office, exploiting his labor force.
When Nan Yan came out, Qin Lu was leaning against the car, calmly smoking a lit cigarette. The pale blue smoke lingered around him, giving his appearance an ethereal quality.
Upon seeing the girl approaching, Qin Lu promptly extinguished his cigarette and stood up straight.
His typically cold and ruthless demeanor softened with a hint of tenderness upon seeing her.
He walked over to the passenger side and opened the car door. “Little one, get in the car.”
Nan Yan complied, walking over and sitting in the passenger seat. Qin Lu
closed the door and went to the driver’s seat.
Once Nan Yan had fastened her seatbelt at her own leisurely pace, she turned her head, propped it lazily with her hand, and asked, “Where are we going?”
“Naturally, for a date with your big brother-
