“But don’t forget that Shan Yue is the recipient of the International Medical Medal. There are only three in the world. Those who can have that are the top talents in the world.” As Cheng Yan spoke, she could not help but feel a little nervous. “Are we really confident that we can develop the antidote earlier than her?”
“You don’t have to worry about that. Recently, my people have been keeping an eye on the Shan Corporation. Shan Yue has basically never left the Corporation. Moreover, I’ve also investigated the engineering map of her company. There’s no laboratory at all.”
Lang Nan was very confident in his investigation. “Then there’s only one possibility left. Only Yu Sen and the stranger at the banquet are doing research. No matter what, Shan Yue must be delayed by something now, so our chances are still very high.”
Of course, these words were just a comfort for Lang Nan. He was also sent by the National Medical Department, so he naturally knew what the International Medicine Medal represented.
As a leader, he just didn’t want to boost others’ morale and reduce his own prestige. If he didn’t even believe in himself, he wouldn’t be far from failure. However, these words instantly pulled Cheng Yan’s memories back to the night a week ago. That day, in an unfamiliar room, Shan Yue had said something similar to her.
“No one can find this place to save you because this room is not on the construction map of the Shan Corporation at all.”
This was enough to prove that a portion of the Shan Corporation’s project was not marked on the blueprint but built privately. In other words, the reason why Shan Yue stayed in the company every day was very likely because she was conducting virus research.
However, Cheng Yan did not intend to tell Lang Nan about this guess. This was because after her conversation with Shan Yue, she slowly began to be wary of Lang Nan.
Because no one would believe a person who had been arrested. If Cheng Yan did not leave enough trump cards for herself, she would probably be squeezed dry of all her remaining value until she was heartlessly abandoned.
“Cheng Yan?” Seeing that she had fallen silent at some point, a puzzled expression appeared on Lang Nan’s face. “What’s wrong? Or do you know something about their research on the antidote?”
A shout immediately pulled Cheng Yan back to reality. “Deputy Governor Lang, stop joking. How is that possible? If I knew anything, I would have told you immediately.”
“Really, Cheng Yan? Don’t hide anything from me.” There was obvious surprise in Lang Nan’s eyes, mixed with some suspicion. “Although you didn’t go in for long, only a week, when you came back this time, 1 could feel that something was wrong with you. It’s different from before.”
Cheng Yan knew that he was being very tactful. At the same time, he was giving her a warning. However, Cheng Yan, who was also experienced, was naturally not frightened by these things. She still maintained the calmness she deserved.
“You don’t doubt people when you use them. Deputy Governor Lang, you taught me this sentence.”
Cheng Yan patted her chest with one hand and acted very naturally. “I’ve been with you for so many years. If 1 had any ulterior motives, I would have done it long ago. There’s no need to wait until now.”
“You have a point, but don’t think too much about it. I don’t have any intention of doubting you. I know you’ve been with me for so many years. No matter what, 1’11 be responsible for your future life.”
Lang Nan narrowed his eyes as he downed the half cup of tea on the table. “That’s why I picked up your parents in advance long before 1 picked you up. Now I’ve specially placed them in a villa. The two of them are doing fine. You don’t have to worry about anything.”
“What did you say?”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was only a fraction of a second of reaction time. Cheng Yan immediately stood up from her seat and looked at Lang Nan angrily.
Although Lang Nan said that he wanted to bring her parents to enjoy their later years, to put it bluntly, it was to imprison them and use them as a trump card to threaten her..
