“Lab?” the headmaster asked in confusion. “Why are you contacting that?”

“I have something very important that needs to be done in a lab,” Nan Yan paused and added, “I need a more advanced and larger lab, preferably with the latest experimental equipment.”

The headmaster furrowed his brow.

Nan Yan’s requests seemed quite bizarre, one after another.

A high school student was participating in professional esports competitions and now needed access to a lab. After all, in universities, specialized courses were required before entering a lab for experiments. High school students typically only performed simple chemistry and physics experiments and lacked the expertise for more complex tasks.

Nan Yan’s demands for state-of-the-art equipment and advanced experiments were far from simple.

What exactly did she know?

“I’ll think about it,” the headmaster, having a wide network and knowledge, said. This was one of the reasons Nan Yan approached him – to gauge the possibility of success.

“Well, I remember that there is a state-of-the-art lab in Jincheng, and they upgraded it with the latest equipment about six months ago.”

“Since I know someone at the lab, I’ll ask if we can arrange something better for you.”

Nan Yan smiled slightly. “Thank you for your help.”

The headmaster huffed, “Just try not to take too much leave in the future and avoid causing trouble.”

“I’ll do my best,” she replied, knowing that she could only promise to an extent.

The headmaster hung up the phone.

Nan Yan looked at her phone before flagging down a car and heading back to school.

On the way, the headmaster called again.

“Yanyan, I spoke to him, and he agreed to let you use the lab. When do you plan to go?”

“As soon as possible, it’s quite urgent.’

“How about this Saturday? You have your monthly exams starting tomorrow, so focus on those first.

“Alright,” Nan Yan agreed.

The headmaster continued, “Where are you right now?”

“On my way back to school.”

“Oh, that’s fine. When you get back to school, go directly to see Teacher Zhang.

He has something to discuss with you.”

“Okay.”

When she arrived at school, Nan Yan didn’t return to her class directly but went to the computer lab.

Feng Tianji and the other two students were engrossed in listening to Teacher Zhang’s lecture.

Nan Yan knocked on the door, and Teacher Zhang asked the students to review the material themselves before stepping out with her.

“Teacher Zhang, do you have something you want to discuss with me?”

“Yes,” Teacher Zhang’s expression became somewhat serious. “Nan Yan, could you do me a favor?”

“What is it?”

“You know, I’m a member of the MTA Computing Institute, just a second-tier member. Normally, these matters aren’t under my jurisdiction, but it’s partly my fault. I mentioned your case to the Director before…”

Teacher Zhang seemed apologetic, “The Director was quite interested in you, but due to your current academic commitments, I didn’t let him approach you.”

“But now, an M-country computing institute has challenged ours, and it’s a competition between the students. Our MTA Computing Institute hasn’t recruited many students in recent years. While the few we have are talented, they joined recently and might not be a match for the M-country students.”

“This not only concerns our institute’s reputation but also our country’s honor. So, I had to swallow my pride and ask if you could help us in this matter, help us to accept the challenge.”

Teacher Zhang was completely open and straightforward with Nan Yan.

Nan Yan remained silent after hearing his explanation.

“I know this might put you in a difficult position, but, Nan Yan, you are our only hope. For the time being, we can’t find a student with your exceptional skills. I’m begging you to help us,” Teacher Zhang said earnestly.

Nan Yan raised her gaze to look at him, her tone calm as she interrupted his words, “What is the name of the M-country computing institute?”

“CSA.”

A well-known computing institute in M-country.

A name that was familiar to her.

And, to some extent, they were her enemies.

However, the people from CSA had no idea about her true identity.

“When are they coming to challenge us? Please notify me in advance,” Nan Yan instructed.

Teacher Zhang didn’t expect Nan Yan to agree so easily and quickly expressed his gratitude. “Nan Yan, thank you!”

“It’s nothing, just a little time,” Nan Yan replied.

“You can rest assured that you won’t be helping us for nothing. Regardless of the outcome, the Director will definitely show his appreciation!”

“Okay.”

This offer made Nan Yan raise an eyebrow. Originally, she had planned to help without expecting anything in return, but now that they were offering rewards, it was only fair.

Teacher Zhang relaxed and looked at the girl’s cold and aloof face, asking, “Shall we return to class now?”

“Yes.”

At this moment, the members of the Luo family were looking at the two individuals sitting on the sofa, resembling two imposing mountains.

Qin Lu and Shen Junqing exchanged glances, then both averted their eyes, showing mutual dislike.

Shen Junqing wasn’t using his original face; instead, he wore a face that appeared stern and not to be trifled with.

Of course, Qin Lu saw through his disguise at a glance.

“Mr. Qin, Mr. Lone Wolf, may I ask why both of you have come to the Luo family together?”

Although Luo Mingfeng was the head of the Luo family, he felt a chill down his spine under the deliberate pressure from Qin Lu and Shen Junqing.

It goes without saying that Qin Lu’s identity held great importance. Even the Luo family was insignificant compared to the Qin family.

As for Lone Wolf, it was an organization that had emerged in recent years, somewhat resembling mercenaries, and it had gained significant notoriety.

Furthermore, it was known for its ruthless and brutal methods.

Luo Mingfeng had been quite shaken by the incident with the assassins yesterday, and now, facing these two individuals, he was trembling with fear.

Qin Lu’s icy tone carried a commanding pressure. “Luo Family Head, do you not know what you’ve done? Are you not aware of it yourself?”

“I… I haven’t done anything…”

Luo Mingfeng didn’t dare to connect Nan Yan with Qin Lu.

In his view, the two of them were from entirely different worlds.

“It seems your daughter didn’t tell you that I know Nan Yan,” Qin Lu’s tone grew even colder, “and you even dared to touch my people. Who gave you the audacity?”

Wide-eyed and terrified, Luo Mingfeng stammered, “The night before yesterday, it was you…”

He was too afraid to finish his sentence. His thoughts were in complete disarray.

How could this happen?

Nan Yan wasn’t affiliated with the An family?

How did she become associated with the Qin family again?

And Qin Lu had actually mentioned that they were his people…

Luo Mingfeng regretted his actions deeply.

If he had known that Nan Yan had the support of the Qin family, he would have never dared to harm her!

Suddenly, Shen Junqing cast a hostile gaze at Qin Lu. “You despicable man, did you spend the night at the An family’s old residence?”

His actions were surprisingly swift; he had actually stayed overnight at the An family’s old residence openly.

He would have to find an opportunity to visit the old residence in the future.

Qin Lu looked at him coldly. “Where I stay is none of your concern..”
