Little bastard...

Li Tianran was surprised. What kind of mentality could make a gentle and refined old scholar utter such vulgar words?

But Professor Nan's expression was very strange, not the anger of hatred, but an extremely complex resentment mixed with helplessness!

"Do you have a grudge against Bai Jingyan?" Li Tianran was silent for a moment, then reached out to Professor Nan and asked softly.

"It's more than just a grudge. I'd like to flay him alive." Professor Nan stood up, his face gloomy, "Does he have a little girl named Nan by his side?"

Li Tianran's mind quickly flashed back to the woman covered in bullet holes that Bai Jingyan had held in his arms.

Nan?

Professor Nan and Nan Nan both shared the surname Nan.

The surname was rare.

They were both engaged in biological research.

In an instant, countless pieces of information flashed through Li Tianran's mind.

Li Tianran seemed to have thought of something, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face: "She... is she your relative?"

"Nan Nan... is my youngest daughter." Professor Nan took a deep breath: "Bai Jingyan was once my student!"

"Fuck!" Li Tianran cursed softly, his expression incredibly complicated.

This world was too damn small!

No wonder when he first saw Professor Nan, he felt that he looked a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen similar features. Now that he recalled it, many things could be explained!

He had saved Nan Nan's life, made a deal with Bai Jingyan, and now he had taken Nan Nan's old man under his wing...

This family had not been able to escape his grasp!

"Bai Jingyan is your student?" Li Tianran raised his eyebrows: "Then why didn't he work with you at the National Institute? Instead..."

Professor Nan was silent for a moment when he heard Li Tianran's question: "Actually, I didn't want to mention this, but since you asked, I might as well talk about it."

"About five years ago, I worked at the Kyoto Research Institute. At that time, the Kyoto Research Academy sent a group of interns, including Bai Jingyan."

"I was very impressed with him. He was always taciturn and seemed very dull and timid. I didn't like him at the time."

In life, dull and silent people are always less popular than lively and cheerful people. This is a normal phenomenon.

"But as time went on, I found that he had a stronger desire for knowledge in his work than others, and he was also very diligent in his studies, even to the point of being fanatical. Moreover, he was very talented. He could understand and integrate many knowledge points after I explained them once. In just a few months, he could operate complex experiments on his own."

"At this time, my daughter came to the research institute, and I assigned her and Bai Jingyan to a group because I wanted Bai Jingyan to help her study. But I didn't expect that it was my actions that made Nan Nan develop a strong dependence and admiration for Bai Jingyan."

"Bai Jingyan's professional ability is very strong, very strong! In the few months that I was in contact with him, I could be sure that his future achievements would surpass mine!"

Professor Nan is a national academician. To receive such praise from him is definitely something that ordinary people cannot obtain.

"But later I found that Bai Jingyan's personality was very extreme. The topics he studied were all on the edge of morality, even beyond the bottom line."

"He is like a cold machine. In order to achieve his goals, he will definitely not care about anything he has done along the way."

"When I discovered this, I began to deliberately keep Nan Nan away from him, but it was too late. She was already head over heels in love with Bai Jingyan... She wouldn't even listen to me."

A trace of helplessness appeared on Professor Nan's old face.

"Later, in order to force them to separate, I found an excuse to fire Bai Jingyan... But on the night Bai Jingyan left the research institute, Nan Nan also left with him. I haven't seen her since."

Li Tianran opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

This was a very corny drama.

Forced separation of lovers.

From an outsider's point of view, Professor Nan's thinking was indeed a bit old-fashioned. He was a "stubborn element" of feudal forces, imposing his ideas on his daughter.

In TV dramas, Professor Nan is usually the stubborn villainous parent.

"If I had known, I would have broken Nan Nan's legs to keep her." Professor Nan gritted his teeth.

"That's a bit extreme. She's already grown up and has the right to choose her own life..." Li Tianran frowned.

Professor Nan glanced at Li Tianran and then asked, "If the little girl named Han Han at the dinner table earlier grows up and wants to elope with a man you don't like, what would you do?"

Li Tianran immediately raised his eyebrows: "I'll break her legs! Definitely!"

"Hehe..." Professor Nan sneered.

Li Tianran was a little embarrassed.

As the protagonist of a large double-standard scene, Li Tianran felt that he should say something to ease the awkward atmosphere.

But to his surprise, Professor Nan spoke first before he could open his mouth.

"I've always been worried that with Bai Jingyan's personality, if Nan Nan is helpful to his research in the future, he will not hesitate to use Nan Nan as a test subject..." Professor Nan said in a solemn tone.

Li Tianran was silent for a moment and then said, "You don't have to worry about that. Bai Jingyan... won't do that."

Li Tianran began to tell Professor Nan about Bai Jingyan and Bai Jingming.

When he heard that Nan Nan had been shot several times and was unconscious, and that Bai Jingyan had run all the way with her to the farm for help, Professor Nan's fists clenched silently.

When he heard that Nan Nan had survived, Professor Nan was covered in cold sweat, as if he had just fought a major battle.

"This kid... still has some conscience." Professor Nan muttered to himself.

"People always change. No one can be cold-blooded to someone they have shared life and death with." Li Tianran said softly.

"Mr. Li, I... I thank you!" Professor Nan suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Li Tianran: "Thank you for saving my daughter's life! I owe you a life!"

Pa!

Li Tianran reached out and helped Professor Nan up, saying softly, "There's no need to be so polite! I saved Nan Nan because of Bai Jingyan! If anyone owes a life, it's him!"

"That little bastard, if I ever see him again, I will definitely break one of his legs..." Professor Nan gritted his teeth.

"He's an evolver now. I'm afraid it will be difficult to break his legs!" Li Tianran smiled.

Professor Nan was stunned, and then said with great excitement, "I demand to start working immediately! That little bastard used to keep Nan Nan under his thumb. Now that he's an evolver, isn't Nan Nan going to be bullied to death by him? I want to study the weaknesses of evolver genes. I need to let him know what fatherly love is like a mountain collapsing!"

"I demand to start working immediately! I demand to work overtime!" Professor Nan was excited.

Li Tianran laughed.

From then on, Professor Nan was completely integrated.
