"No, no, Mr. Jiang, please don't misunderstand, I absolutely don't have that intention."

Upon hearing Jiang Chen's cold retort, Pu Minsung immediately panicked:

"When I received this message, I saw hope, the hope of being rescued. You can destroy a base, you can defy that organization, you can help us escape from that organization."

Jiang Chen's expression remained cold as he asked indifferently, "What are you afraid of?"

"We fear becoming experimental subjects, becoming monsters; we fear being dissected for research."

Pu Minsung cried out, "You are our only hope, Mr. Jiang, please believe me, I really, really want to help you; we truly see you as the only hope for me and my son!"

Jiang Chen said nothing and fell into deep thought.

After a long while, he finally nodded and said in a deep voice, "Alright! I can tentatively trust you, but I cannot tell you what we must do. However, if you really want to help me, instigate a fight between Li Xiangmin and the Divine Palace when Mengte De'er and Sanben Qingfu confront each other!"

"OK! I will definitely stir up their fight!" a firm voice came from the speaker.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chen fell into contemplation; if Pu Minsung managed to pull this off, Jiang could perhaps somewhat trust him and his son.

"Mengte De'er, Xing Fei, watch Pu Minsung's actions closely, and after everything is over, report all his actions to me! Of course, also beware of his potential betrayal!" Jiang Chen instructed sternly.

"Yes!"

Mengte De'er and his companion nodded gravely, understanding the seriousness of the situation. If Pu Minsung really were trustworthy, it would be a significant advantage for them in dismantling the gene potion research base.

Whooosh... Screech!

A while later, four cars entered the Li family's estate and stopped directly in front of the Family Head's villa.

Clack, clack, clack!

Jiang Chen and a few others got out of the cars, and Li Xiangmin spoke softly, "Mr. Mengte De'er, the people from the Divine Palace are inside this villa. The banquet hall is also here; I had someone summon them to the banquet hall already."

"Good, arrange for someone to take this guard to rest; we'll go to the banquet hall, I'm quite hungry!" Mengte De'er nodded lightly.

After arranging for a guard to take Jiang Chen to rest, Li Xiangmin made a phone call, then led Mengte De'er and others into the villa towards the banquet hall.

When Li Xiangmin arrived at the banquet hall, there were four men waiting at the entrance.

"Family Head!" Seeing Li Xiangmin, the four men greeted respectfully and looked cautiously at Mengte De'er and his party.

"This is my friend, Mr. Mengte De'er."

Li Xiangmin introduced him and turned to Mengte De'er, "These four are the Innate Grandmasters of our Li family. Our Li family has a total of eight Innate Grandmasters, and the other four are monitoring the two Innate Grandmasters from the Divine Palace."

"Is Mr. Li trying to intimidate me?" Mengte De'er looked coldly at Li Xiangmin.

"No no no, Mr. Mengte De'er, please don't get me wrong, I absolutely do not mean that!" Li Xiangmin quickly explained.

Mengte De'er paid no attention to Li Xiangmin and turned to look at Mo Bao, who glanced into the banquet hall, extended a trace of Qi into it, and after a few seconds, opened his eyes and said softly, "Sir, there are four Innate Grandmasters inside, one Semi Innate Grand Master, one Heavenly Peak Martial Artist, and one Earth Grade Peak Martial Artist!"

"Mr. Li, are you sure your four Innate Grandmasters can handle the people inside?" Mengte De'er turned his head towards Li Xiangmin and spoke teasingly.

Li Xiangmin smiled slightly, "Mr. Mengte De'er, rest assured, Beihai National has the Divine Palace, and we, the Southern Country, have the Divine Mansion as well!"

"Oh!" Mengte De'er nodded, his heart stirred, and a meaningful expression appeared on his face, "So it is the Divine Mansion's people coming. No wonder Mr. Li is not afraid of making an enemy of the Divine Palace. It seems the Li family's relationship with the Divine Mansion is quite deep!"

Li Xiangmin carefully observed Mengte De'er's expression and smiled slightly, "Mr. Mengte De'er, as long as we all know what's going on, that's good enough!"

Mengte De'er smiled and did not respond. Li Xiangmin gestured invitingly with his hand, and they walked into the banquet hall.

"Mr. Li, this is..." In the banquet hall, Ta'er De and Sanben Qingfu saw Li Xiangmin walking side by side with Mengte De'er and couldn't help but express their doubts.

Li Xiangmin said indifferently, "This is my friend."

Ta'er De's companions were taken aback and slightly furrowed their brows.

"Please!" Li Xiangmin no longer bothered with Ta'er De's companions and gestured invitingly to Mengte De'er and Xing Fei.

Everyone took their seats, with Mengte De'er and Xing Fei sitting opposite Ta'er De's companions, Pu Minsung and Jin Bingyan took the two chairs to the left of Xing Fei, Pu Minsung next to Sanben Qingfu, Li Xiangmin sat next to Mengte De'er, and Li Xiangzhen sat next to Ta'er De.

The guards then stood behind their respective persons.

Seeing such an arrangement, Ta'er De's brows slightly furrowed, sensing that something was amiss.

They were there to eat, why were all the guards remaining?

But since Li Xiangmin had not ordered the Li family's guards to stand down, he naturally wouldn't order his guards to retreat either and could only watch quietly for any changes!

"Let's all have something to eat first!" Li Xiangmin called out, and the Li family's servants served up exquisite dishes.

Ta'er De and Sanben Qingfu exchanged glances, clearly sensing that something was off.

Li Xiangmin said nothing, simply suggesting they start with some food. That was precisely the most suspicious part, but they couldn't figure out what was amiss and could only continue eating while watching Li Xiangmin and Mengte De'er.

Soon, they realized that Li Xiangmin was indeed just eating, except that Li Xiangzhen occasionally glanced at Shanben Qingfu, a hint of resentment in her eyes.

This left Sanben Qingfu baffled, "Who is this woman? I don't know her at all!"

Meanwhile, after being taken to a room by a guard of the Li family, someone from the Li family brought Jiang Chen a meal.

After quickly finishing his meal, Jiang Chen closed his eyes, and a subtle yet vast aura emanated from him, enveloping the entire villa.

After a thorough investigation, Jiang Chen slightly furrowed his brows, "How come there are no other Innate Grandmasters except in the banquet hall? It's unlikely that Li Xiangmin would let Fang Mingyuan have so much freedom, right?"

He got up and went to the door, locked it, then moved to the window and glanced at the Li family guard patrolling outside.

After a squad of guards passed below his window, Jiang Chen quickly opened the window and slid down the wall, stealthily heading towards the villas surrounding the main villa.

As Jiang Chen sneaked out of the room, on the northern wall outside of the Li family estate, three figures in black quickly scaled over the wall.

Each of these three individuals, carrying large backpacks, moved silently towards the main villa.
