Chapter 513: Chapter 513: Dead girl, tired of acting? Let me take over for a couple of episodes.

Li Yehan hadn’t arrived at the restaurant when Nan Qiao’s phone rang.

The caller was Professor Han, with Director Nie from the National Security Bureau standing beside him.

Professor Han sounded both excited and somewhat resentful: "Senior Sister, we did as you suggested and tracked down the person in contact with Li Xia. It’s Qin Rong."

Director Nie of the National Security Bureau spoke on the other end: "Miss Nan Qiao, this is Director Nie from the National Security Bureau. Could I trouble you to come over? There are some matters I’d like your help with."

"I’ll head over now."

Nan Qiao hung up, and Li Yehan had already changed course to the National Security Bureau.

Nan Qiao was a bit excited: "The reagent is so useful, we must speed up production and have everyone try it."

Quickly identifying Jiang Linyu’s superior would be the best outcome.

Li Yehan let out a knowing smile and couldn’t help but praise: "My Qiaoqiao is indeed amazing."

Nan Qiao smiled, busy replying to messages and sending texts.

Li Yehan, driving, teased her: "Qiaoqiao, you’re busier than I am."

Nan Qiao returned a smile: "Being busy is how you make money."

"I’ll support you," Li Yehan said.

"I don’t need you to support me. I can make money myself. I’m used to being busy; if I stop, I don’t know what to do."

Nan Qiao put her phone down, leaned back in her chair, and looked at the sky outside.

...

Nan Qiao and Li Yehan arrived at the National Security Bureau and met Director Nie.

The three sat down.

Director Nie said, "My name is Nie Cong, and I’m the director of the National Security Bureau. I heard about the reagent from Professor Han and am aware of Qin Rong being a spy. Miss Nan Qiao, is this reagent something you developed?"

Nan Qiao nodded: "Yes, my team and I developed it to identify those who have been in contact with the poisonous insect."

Nan Qiao had discovered that Jiang Linyu’s superior would use poisonous insects to control people.

Thus, she utilized this method to find those connected to the superior.

Director Nie’s eyes lit up, barely containing his excitement: "Could you help us make such a reagent? Rest assured, we will pay you in full. This effort is for national security."

Nan Qiao listened with increasing curiosity. Jiang Linyu’s superior is also a spy?

Jiang Linyu, Li Xia, and Li Ye are all spies?

Li Yehan voiced what Nan Qiao wanted to express.

"Are they connected with the spies?"

Director Nie lowered his voice: "Qin Rong has ties with people overseas. We’re just speculating at this point and still investigating."

Nan Qiao understood: "Director Nie, the reagent isn’t easy to make, but I’ll return and have them work on it as quickly as possible to get you a batch."

"Thank you. I’ll ensure you’re compensated."

Nan Qiao laughed: "No need for payment; it’s the duty of every citizen. I also hope for my country’s prosperity."

Nan Qiao was generous.

Director Nie couldn’t help but look at Nan Qiao with admiration, impressed by her sense of duty.

"The state won’t exploit the people, and I’ll report this matter accordingly," Director Nie said seriously.

"Director Nie, I’m not sure if the reagent will really work, so let’s hold off on reporting it until we’re certain."

Nan Qiao didn’t want to draw attention; she preferred a low-profile life.

However... sometimes it’s hard to stay low-profile.

Thinking of something, Nan Qiao spoke in a low voice: "Director Nie, could I trouble you with a request?"

"What is it?"

"The circumstances of the laboratory in Xiao Xi Shan eighteen years ago. I’d like to know who was involved in the experiment back then."

Nan Qiao knew that what she couldn’t find out, the state could!

She added, "If it’s too difficult, forget it. I’m sorry for requesting so much, Director Nie."

As Nan Qiao was about to stand and leave, Director Nie agreed.

"No problem, I’ll help you investigate. You’ve helped me a lot, and I need to reciprocate."

After reaching a consensus, Li Yehan took Nan Qiao away from the National Security Bureau.

"Qiaoqiao, Grandpa messaged me, asking if you could come to the old house tonight for a family reunion dinner."

"Sure."

She had no problem with that, preferring to eat more and talk less on such occasions.

...

Li Tianyi’s family of four waited in the living room for dinner.

Old Mr. Li went to the kitchen, declaring he wanted to personally oversee the preparation of the hand-rolled noodles to let Li Tianyi taste the flavors of his childhood.

At this moment, a servant led a woman in a professional suit inside.

The servant said, "Place it here and wait for the master to inspect it later."

The manager stood aside, anxious and silent.

She kept her eyes down, afraid to look around randomly.

If she hadn’t come to deliver jewels worth millions, she wouldn’t have set foot in the Li Family’s old house.

The reputedly well-feng-shui and well-decorated villa district—it was exhausting just getting there.

Finally, she had taken a shuttle car, and the ride had lasted long.

The bright lighting and luxurious interior astonished her.

The precious marble, seen as simple decor to them.

And then she heard Li Ning’s voice.

"Daddy, Mommy, is Grandpa planning to give me a gift?"

Mei Tian Sha Zi also noticed the valuable mark on the box.

Li Tianyi spoke softly: "It might not be for you."

"If not for me, then who else? It’s definitely a gift from Grandpa for our meeting," Li Ning insisted.

The manager, her head lowered, was dumbfounded.

Jewels worth millions, escorted by six bodyguards, just to give to this girl?

Manager: You brat, tired from acting? Let me take over for a few episodes.

At this moment, Li Ning pointed to the manager.

"Tell me, how many pieces of jewelry did Grandpa order from you?"

The manager slowly lifted her head, meeting Li Ning’s smiling face, and politely replied: "Old Mr. Li ordered two sets of jewelry worth fifteen million dollars."

Hearing this answer, Li Ning’s smile grew even wider.

Overjoyed, Li Ning whispered to Mei Tian Sha Zi: "Mom, I told you, Grandpa definitely got the gift for us. He treats us so well. I’m so happy."

Li Tianyi’s expression didn’t change at the mention of the jewelry, as he pondered.

Were these two sets really meant for Mei Tian Sha Zi and Li Ning?

From what Li Tianyi knew, custom jewelry couldn’t be completed this quickly.

Li Ning stood up and went over to the table.

"Dad, can I take a look at the jewelry now?"

Li Tianyi refused: "Without your grandfather’s permission, you can’t open it. Ask him when he arrives."

As he spoke, Old Mr. Li and Uncle Fu came in together.

Old Mr. Li was in especially good spirits.

Li Ning happily went over: "Grandpa, thank you for the gift."

Old Mr. Li was taken aback: "What gift?"

Li Ning pointed at the box on the table: "Grandpa, the gift has already been delivered. No need to surprise me anymore."

Old Mr. Li: "..."

Huh? This...
