Chapter 191: Someone Is Impersonating Her

Qin Lu burst into laughter.

Reading the message from Nan Yan, he ran his tongue over his itchy teeth.

It seemed like the little one’s perspective needed a bit of realignment!

Nan Yan waited for nearly half a minute, but when she didn’t receive any more messages from Qin Lu, she let out a soft snort and put her phone away. Half an hour later, the car pulled up outside the Cheng family’s gate.

Cheng Yanzhao was waiting for her there.

“Miss Nan,” Cheng Yanzhao greeted her as she got out of the car.

He was a refined and elegant man, exuding an air of aristocracy, carrying himself like a walking etiquette guide.

“Hmm,” Nan Yan replied casually. “Let’s go inside.”

Cheng Yanzhao listened to her assertive words but only responded with a gentle smile, saying, “Certainly.”

The driver from the Qin family was signaled by Nan Yan to return to the Qin residence. Someone else would send her back later.

Inside the Cheng residence, Old Master Cheng and He Zhizhou were engaged in a game of chess.

After a few days of medication, Old Master Cheng’s condition had improved significantly. Although still weak, he looked much better than before, with a touch of healthy color returning to his complexion.

“No, no, I just made a mistake. I didn’t place it in the right position!” He Zhizhou picked up the chess piece he had just put down and hesitated, trying to figure out where to move it.

Old Master Cheng was growing exasperated with He Zhizhou’s chess skills. He tossed his own piece onto the board and playfully scolded, “I’m done playing. You lousy chess player, i’s too infuriating.

“Hey, how can you call me a lousy chess player?” He Zhizhou protested. “No, I can’t accept this. Today, I must determine a winner between us. Quickly, pick up the pieces.”

“I’m done playing, and I won’t change my mind.” Old Master Cheng, with a stubborn personality, pushed the chessboard aside. “I reckon the young doctor will be here soon, and the two of us old men shouldn’t embarrass ourselves in front of her.’

He Zhizhou pouted. “Fine, I won’t play anymore.”

As the servants came to clear the chessboard, Cheng Yanzhao led Nan Yan into the room.

“Yanyan!” He Zhizhou’s face lit up upon seeing Nan Yan, and he immediately got up and walked over to her.

“He Zhizhou.”

Nan Yan nodded.

“You, girl, are always so busy. It’s hard to see you even on normal days! If I hadn’t come to find Old Cheng at the right time, I probablv wouldn’t have bumped into you again.”

He Zhizhou, although delighted to see her, couldn’t help but voice his grievances.

Nan Yan gave a faint smile. “You said it yourself, I’m busy.”

Old Master Cheng was still weak and couldn’t stand or walk on his own. He sat on the sofa, watching the exchange between them.

After some small talk, Nan Yan finally took her seat.

Under Cheng Yanzhao’s arrangement, the servants brought in tea and fresh fruits.

Cheng Yanzhao politely asked, “Miss Nan, could you please take a look at Old

Master Cheng again?”

In fact, they could all see that Old Master Cheng’s condition had visibly improved since he started taking the medicine. His moments of clarity were becoming longer, and the pain he experienced had lessened.

However, since Nan Yan had come all the way to the capital and personally visited the Cheng residence, they hoped she might offer further assistance. Nan Yan naturally agreed.

After examining Old Master Cheng’s pulse, she said, “Old Master Cheng’s condition is gradually improving. Continue with the medication, and once he finishes the current course, I’ll adjust the prescription for the second phase of treatment.”

“Thank you, Little Miracle Doctor. I already feel much better,” Old Master Cheng expressed his gratitude.

He felt the most direct impact on his body. Since taking the medicine Nan Yan provided, his condition had improved significantly. For the first time in many years, he had felt this relaxed.

“Don’t mention it. As medical practitioners, it’s our duty to heal and save lives,” Nan Yan replied modestly.

Cheng Yanzhao added, “Even though it’s your duty, you still need to be paid. Miss Nan, feel free to name your price. As long as it’s within our ability and not unreasonable, we’ll agree.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll ask for the fee when the time comes,” Nan Yan replied casually. She hadn’t decided yet, so she didn’t want to rush it.

“Very well. ”

He Zhizhou, after Nan Yan finished examining Old Master Cheng, finally took her aside for a private chat.

“Yanyan, in M Country, it seems like someone has guessed that you didn’t die and is looking for you.”

Nan Yan’s fingertips froze as she received the message, a hint of unease flashing in her eyes, quickly returning to normal. “How did you find out?”

She had been trying to hide her identity to avoid anyone from that side discovering she was still alive. She had been deliberately avoiding any connections from her past.

Aside from the chance encounter with Marcus, she had not contacted anyone from that side.

So how had she been exposed?

Surprised, He Zhizhou asked, “After your rebirth, did you pay little attention to what was happening in M Country?”

“Yes, I didn’t pay much attention.”

“You should take a look at the news from that side. Your name has been openly mentioned in academic circles.”

Nan Yan’s first reaction was that it couldn’t be true.

She took out her phone and logged into the academic website she had only visited once since her rebirth.

Upon entering the page, she saw her name prominently displayed in several related posts: ‘Nyan.’

It was the name she had used when she was with Xi Shijin.

She clicked on the posts one by one and read through them.

By the end, she breathed a sigh of relief.

“It’s not that someone knows I’m alive,” Nan Yan’s tone turned cold. “Someone is impersonating me.”

He Zhizhou was astonished. “Impersonating you?”

“Yes.”

In Western academic circles, Nan Yan was not particularly well-known. She didn’t care about such recognition and was passionate about research, always seeking challenges and engaging in various hobbies.

Due to her trust in Xi Shijin, she had allowed him to take all the credit and honors, focusing solely on her research and leaving him to deal with the outside world.

Xi Shijin was now a renowned figure with both fame and fortune, enjoying supreme glory. He had become the winner of life, while she had become an ordinary high school student.

Before her rebirth, she had been obscure, and after her “death,” she wondered who was using her identity to stir up such a storm in Western academic circles.

“What do you plan to do, Yanyan?”

“Ignore it for now. I’ll investigate further once I’m certain.”

Nan Yan wasn’t sure of the impersonator’s motives or which party was trying to stir up trouble.

“Alright, since you’ve distanced yourself from that circle, there’s no need to worry too much,” He Zhizhou said with a firm tone. “Yanyan, it’s not convenient for you to go to M Country. I’ll have someone keep an eye on the situation there.”

“Thank you, Mr. He.”

He Zhizhou’s face turned stern. “You girl, why be so polite with me?”

“Are you available tonight? Let’s have dinner together.”

Although they had eaten lunch together, there were still family members present. He wanted to invite Nan Yan for a private dinner.

Nan Yan ran her fingertip along the edge of her phone frame, apologizing, “I might not be available tonight. I already have plans with someone else.”

“Alright…”

In Jin City.

An Xiran got off the plane and headed directly to the location where he was supposed to meet Bai Haoxuan and the two investors for the contract signing. He was still wearing yesterday’s clothes, and his tie had somehow disappeared.

In his state of frustration, a few buttons on his shirt collar were left unbuttoned, and his silver-gray short hair was all messy and disheveled.

Reaching the entrance, he casually ruffled his hair a few times before pushing the door open forcefully….
