Nan Yan stood directly in front of Bai Chen.

Bai Chen initially thought that this young lady had come to find him. However, seeing her standing firmly in place without any intention of leaving, he couldn’t help but ask, “Little sister, do you need something?”

Although he was aware that he had quite a handsome appearance, he wore a black mask and a hat for the sake of staying low-key. How had this young girl discerned the top-notch looks hidden beneath the mask?

“Bai Chen,” Nan Yan called him in a clear voice.

Bai Chen’s expression suddenly turned astonished. “How do you know my name?”

“Are you… Nan Yan?”

Bai Chen scrutinized her from head to toe, puzzled. “Even if you had undergone plastic surgery and changed your appearance, it wouldn’t explain why your body shape, figure, and age have all changed, right?”

“This seems quite impossible…”

Nan Yan indeed appeared much younger. At most, she looked around twenty years old. However, Nan Yan’s actual age was twenty-five. Moreover, her true self possessed the alluring mature charm of an elder sister. No matter how she disguised herself, it was impossible for her to look like the current innocent girl.

Bai Chen’s eyes started to display a bewildered curiosity.

Nan Yan’s gaze subtly shifted.

She knew that Bai Chen had many questions for her, but this wasn’t the right place for a conversation.

“Let’s get in the car first.’

After saying this, she turned and went back to the car.

Bai Chen stood in place for a few seconds, holding his small suitcase before following her.

Since the suitcase was not large, they didn’t put it in the trunk; it was placed directly on the rear seat. Bai Chen took the front passenger seat.

“You…” Bai Chen looked at Nan Yan, her face showing no traces of cosmetic alterations. He furrowed his brows at the center of his forehead, wanting to ask something but holding back upon meeting her indifferent and composed gaze.

Let’s wait a bit first.

It wasn’t suitable to talk while driving. They could discuss things in detail after they reached their destination.

Because Bai Chen hadn’t eaten yet, Nan Yan drove directly to a restaurant. After ordering the dishes and having them served, she closed the private dining room’s door. Bai Chen couldn’t hold back any longer and fixed her with a sharp gaze:

“Who exactly are you?”

“You’ve already guessed, haven’t you?”

Nan Yan picked up her utensils, her cold gaze devoid of any concealment, letting him scrutinize her.

Bai Chen stared at her for several minutes, then scratched his own hair in frustration. “What’s going on? How did you become like this?”

He believed that the person in front of him was indeed Nan Yan. After all, he had come to Jin city, China, and only Nan Yan knew about it. Moreover, he felt a strange familiarity from her.

“During that big laboratory fire back then, I was inside, and I was shot in the heart before the fire started.’

“I thought I was undoubtedly going to die, but after the world fell into darkness, I woke up and became like this.”

Nan Yan’s tone was very calm, indifferent as if she were talking about someone else’s story. She didn’t care whether sharing such a mind-boggling story would make Bai Chen think she was crazy.

But based on her understanding of Bai Chen, he could accept her resurrection.

“Is it Xi Shijin, right?”

Bai Chen’s complexion completely darkened, and he exuded a somewhat terrifying aura.

“He actually dared to lay hands on you; he’s truly seeking death!”

The handsome and elegant man now appeared like a demon, emanating a chilling and murderous intent.

Nan Yan calmly cut a piece of foie gras and placed it in her mouth, her voice carrying determination. “I will seek my own vengeance. He belongs to me, and none of you should interfere.”

“So, what are your plans?”

“Lately, the President of the United States has started to doubt Xi Shijin’s ability because he hasn’t delivered the T-2 serum. Once the President confirms that he can’t produce the T-2 serum, all the honors he has received will be revoked.”

“At that time, he’ll be expelled from the highest research institute. I plan to kill him, easily.”

However, she wouldn’t let him die so easily. The grudges of her parents, combined with her own vendetta, meant she would make him suffer, bringing him to destruction in the depths of despair.

Crack—

Due to her intense killing intent, she applied too much force with the knife in her hand, causing the porcelain plate to split in half.

She merely glanced at it and calmly removed the broken plate, replacing it with a new one.

Bai Chen:

Sure enough, even if she changed her appearance, she was still herself!

“Alright, if you have a plan, then follow it. But if there’s anywhere you need help, be sure to let us know.”

“I’ll immediately inform Li Yuan and the Zui Gui about your situation.”

“Go ahead…”

Nan Yan knew that with Bai Chen’s arrival, her true identity couldn’t be concealed any longer. Moreover, she had no intention of keeping it from them any longer.

The three of them had a deep bond and had faced life-threatening situations together, making them completely trustworthy.

“How long do you plan to stay in Jin city?”

After sending the message, Bai Chen put down his phone and asked, “It depends on the situation. I have some free time recently anyway, so I’ll keep you company.”

“Okay.”

When Wu Yue returned to the Lantis Hotel with Qin Lu, he received a phone call.

“Young Master, one of the four directors of the Dark Realm, Bai Chen, secretly came to China today, and it seems his destination is Jin city!”

“Are you sure it’s Bai Chen?”

On the other end of the phone, Qin San’s tone was serious. “Yes, after multiple confirmations, we’ve confirmed Bai Chen’s identity!”

Qin Lu’s expression slightly stiffened.

The several directors of the Dark Realm were formidable figures in their respective areas, and Li Yuan and the Zui Gui had revealed some information about them to the outside world. Bai Chen and the Pioneer were the most mysterious among them.

Bai Chen had occasionally appeared in public before, while the Pioneer, ever since the founding of the Dark Realm, had only been mentioned among the names of website administrators. Apart from that, there had been no other information leaked about the Pioneer.

Why had Bai Chen suddenly come to Jin city? What was his purpose?

“Find out his objective. If it doesn’t concern us, we don’t need to provoke him.”

“Yes, Young Master.”

After a momentary pause, Qin San continued, “Young Master, regarding the Seven Sins member, Strelar, whom you asked me to track last time, his body has already healed. He has started to contact some members within the organization, and so far, there is no news of him posing a threat to us or Miss

Nan.”

“Continue tracking him. Inform me immediately if there’s any news.”

“Understood.”

Qin Lu hung up the phone, bent down, and pulled out a cigarette from the pack on the coffee table.

The crisp sound of a lighter flicking, and a cluster of faint blue flames appeared at his fingertips.

After lighting it, Qin Lu stood by the floor-to-ceiling window.

Outside, the sky had already turned completely dark, and he didn’t know if the little one had picked up her friend.

What is she doing right now?

Qin Lu couldn’t help but feel a pang in his heart when he thought about how the child refused to take him to see his friend, and out of anxiety, she left him at the hospital.

She’s really an ungrateful little brat…

After finishing their meal, Nan Yan planned to accompany Bai Chen to the hotel he wanted to stay at when she received a call from An Xiran.

“Yanyan, do you have some free time now? If you do, could you come to the company and test out some equipment?” An Xiran’s tone was indulgent and carried a hint of request.

Nan Yan remembered that An Xiran had asked her to come to the company for a live broadcast earlier.

She did have some free time, but….
