"Young Master, when we arrived in the Southern Country, we rushed to Mr. Pu Minsung's estate, but we were attacked by a powerful entity. We had no ability to resist and were knocked unconscious. When we woke up, we saw you all!"

Spirit You succinctly explained what happened to them, then looked at Jiang Chen with confusion: "Initially, we thought it was an ambush by the three major organizations, but... no one was hurt, this..."

"What's going on here?"

"Yeah! Just knocking them out without harm?!"

"This is really baffling!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Hu and the others all furrowed their brows.

"Something's not right!"

The Emperor's eyes slightly changed, turning to Jiang Chen: "Just now, the person we were chasing clearly had such strong power, could easily shake us off, yet he kept almost letting us catch up, until you spotted them and he suddenly sped away, this..."

"It means he was leading us here!" Jiang Chen spoke gravely.

Everyone's faces changed.

The person found them, didn't harm anyone, and instead led them to wake Spirit You and the others. What is this about? Helping? If helping, why knock them out? If an enemy, why not harm them?

Ring ring ring!

A cell phone rang, Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow, took out the phone and glanced at it.

His heart skipped a beat, an ominous premonition surged through Jiang Chen's heart, he quickly answered the phone: "Hello, Pu Minsung, what's wrong?"

"Mr. Jiang, Mr. Mengte De'er and my mother are missing!" Pu Minsung's anxious voice echoed from the receiver.

"Mengte De'er and your mother are missing?!" Jiang Chen's face was full of shock, his brows furrowed tightly, he exclaimed urgently: "What happened after we left?"

"After you left..."

After listening to Pu Minsung's account, Jiang Chen's brow twisted into a knotted frown, speaking in a low tone: "Head to the west forest, there are too many people here, going to you could easily expose us, I'll call Mengte De'er right away."

"Okay!"

After hanging up, Jiang Chen found Mengte De'er's number, just about to dial when a thought suddenly struck him.

Easy to expose? Could it be that the person who knocked out Spirit You and the others was worried they'd be exposed?

Jiang Chen's brow furrowed tightly, he pressed the dial button.

"Mr. Jiang, I'm sorry!" The receiver emitted Mengte De'er's apologetic voice when the call connected.

Jiang Chen's eyes shifted slightly, he promptly commanded: "Continue."

"Mr. Jiang, I'm not satisfied! I want to return to headquarters. Don't let my presence hinder the attack on headquarters, I am now at Venerable Realm Late Stage strength, stronger than the peak of the Venerable Realm. Unless it's a Saint, no one can harm me!"

Jiang Chen's eyes flashed with anger, he shouted: "Mengte De'er, if you go back, you'll die!"

"I won't! Mr. Jiang, I haven't been exposed yet, and even if you start the operation, Mr. Jin Junming has a plan to let me return safely, you don't need to worry about this!"

"However, once I return this time, I can't communicate with you freely. Wait for my call, once I contact you, it's the day I've found Fa'erxi!"

"Mr. Jiang, thank you, thank you for your care and trust, I understand your intentions, you want to protect me, but I am different from Pu Minsung, although he is also a Gene Warrior, he's always been involved in commercial activities, but I..."

"I have blood from various influences on my hands. From the Flame Dragon Group, to the Holy Court, people have died by my hand, I can't go back. Please take care of my brother for me, thank you! Beep beep..."

"Mengte De'er! Mengte De'er!" Jiang Chen urgently shouted, but the dial tone signaled the end of the call!

Swish!

A figure swiftly appeared beside Jiang Chen, urgently speaking: "Mr. Jiang, did you get through to Mengte De'er?"

Jiang Chen grabbed Pu Minsung by the collar, growling out: "Who is Jin Junming? Exactly what kind of person is he?"

Pu Minsung was slightly stunned, frowning: "Jin Junming is the true head of the Gene Organization in the Southern Country, and also the patriarch of my mother's family, Mr. Jiang, what's going on?"

"The patriarch of your mother Jin Bingyan's family?" Jiang Chen's brow furrowed, his mind racing.

Ding dong!

A message alert sounded, Pu Minsung took out his phone, glanced, and quickly dialed a number.

"Beep beep... Hello, the number you are dialing is temporarily..."

Pu Minsung hung up angrily, dialing again.

"Hello, the number you are calling is turned off!"

Pu Minsung's face immediately turned quite grim.

"What's happening?" Jiang Chen solemnly asked.

Pu Minsung's eyes gradually moistened, he opened a text message on his phone and handed it to Jiang Chen.

"Child, mom is leaving, don't look for me, follow Mr. Jiang back to the Flame Dragon, apologize to Mr. Jiang for me, Mr. Mengte De'er is leaving with us, he doesn't want to leave just like that, and neither do we. The patriarch is taking us back to the Gene Organization headquarters, we can blend in."

"Tell Mr. Jiang, we are looking forward to him truly destroying the Gene Organization, the Gene Organization destroyed our family, killed dozens of our family, this vengeance must be taken, Fa'erxi must die!"

After reading the message, Jiang Chen fell silent, he suddenly realized some things, yet more questions arose.

Jin Junming knocked out Spirit You and the others to prevent them from reaching Pu Minsung's estate, thus ensuring that Pu Minsung, Jin Bingyan, and Mengte De'er would not be exposed.

Letting Pu Minsung leave was to retain some chance of survival for the Pu family, and for the Jin family.

But how are they to gain the Gene Organization's trust?

Does one battle at headquarters truly allow them to infiltrate safely?

Whew!

Jiang Chen exhaled a long breath, now he could only believe in them, believe they wouldn't be discovered, there was no other way, a Saint Realm late-stage Jin Junming was not someone they could contend with.

Moreover, their urgent task now is to annihilate the several strongholds of the three major organizations in the Southern Country!

"Mr. Jiang, I..." Pu Minsung stated with a hint of determination in his eyes, speaking earnestly.

"I know what you want to say, but you can't go look for them!" Jiang Chen interjected.

Pu Minsung looked anxiously, staring straight into Jiang Chen's eyes, with a trace of pleading in his gaze.

"No way!" Jiang Chen shook his head, reiterating firmly.

A trace of loss and pain appeared in Pu Minsung's eyes, he gritted his teeth and lowered his head.

"Pu Minsung, you can't join them, when the matter in the Southern Country comes out, they'll undoubtedly suspect you!"

Jiang Chen patted Pu Minsung's shoulder, gently explaining: "If you go back, you'll just make them more dangerous. If you don't go back, and go back to the Flame Dragon with me, maybe they can shift the blame of betrayal onto you, reducing their risk. So, don't think about leaving silently, that's not helping them, that's harming them!"

Pu Minsung suddenly looked up at Jiang Chen, with a touch of contemplation in his eyes, then solemnly nodded.
