"During the operation, Deputy Chief Ha'er should know that I continually released my Qi Force to probe those two Gene Warriors, and they were completely unaware of it."

Jiang Chen answered Ha'er's question:

"When I attacked them, I intentionally erupted my Inner Qi to engulf them, and then I redirected my attack to slash through. If it were us, what would we do?" In the end, Jiang Chen asked with a smile.

Ha'er and the others blurted out, "Well, we would be able to judge the direction of the attack from the perceived Qi Force and then make the appropriate adjustment."

"Exactly!"

Jiang Chen nodded, smiling, "But those two did not notice at all until they emerged from my Inner Qi's envelopment!"

"So, this confirmed my speculation," Jiang Chen assertively continued, "Accordingly, after I killed them, I conducted an experiment on Bo'ersi, which proved that my discovery was correct!"

"Great, that's really great news!"

Overjoyed, Ha'er looked at Jiang Chen with a grateful expression: "Mr. Jiang, we have been fighting the Gene Organization for years and have never found their weakness. Your discovery is truly timely! We have clues about several bases of the Gene Organization, but we just weren't ready to act. This time, we can make our move!"

Jiang Chen was momentarily startled, then gave a slight smile, "Deputy Chief Ha'er, I hope you can keep this information confidential for now."

"Confidential?" Ha'er was slightly taken aback, then quickly understood Jiang Chen's intention, frowning slightly, "Mr. Jiang, why keep it a secret? Wouldn't publicizing this information greatly undermine the Gene Organization?"

"I will announce it, but it won't be me or the Holy Court who does it—it will be Flame Dragon who makes the announcement!" Jiang Chen spoke sternly.

Ha'er and the others were stunned again, but they all understood Jiang Chen's intent, looking at him with eyes full of relief.

Since Jiang Chen wanted Flame Dragon to announce this, but had told them before Flame Dragon did, it meant that Jiang Chen trusted them, which was very comforting for Ha'er and the others.

"Mr. Jiang, just for this trust alone, I..."

Ha'er paused, then turned to look at Fa'erxi and the others as their expressions suddenly became solemn, "Since both the Dark Church and the Gene Organization's people have come to scout this base, we must hold out here for three more days. We might be able to intercept more of these organizations' members!"

"Yes!" Fa'erxi and the others responded.

Ha'er's expression relaxed slightly, speaking softly, "The few of us here will do. There's no need to mobilize more people or make further contact with others!"

Fa'erxi and the others were momentarily stunned, glanced at Jiang Chen, and responded with a light chuckle: "Yes."

Jiang Chen looked at Ha'er with surprise, suddenly finding the little old man quite endearing!

However, he could understand; from Ha'er's perspective, knowing such news would definitely mean informing the Holy Court immediately to let them spread the word, which could boost the Holy Court's prestige and also gain goodwill from those who are also enemies of the Gene Organization.

Jiang Chen's plan to have Flame Dragon spread the news was based on the same idea, only Ha'er asked, and he wanted to see if Ha'er and the others were worthy of his trust. If Ha'er did not agree, it was no big deal—once Yan Hu arrived, he could just call Elder Qing. The reason he revealed it now, not fearing Ha'er might act first, was because he had already sensed Yan Hu's presence.

Jiang Chen did not make the call, as he wanted to discuss this and other matters in person with Elder Qing and others upon his return, which would make it easier for them to agree to his requests!

Swish!

A figure approached rapidly, Xi'er and the others squinted their eyes, looking in the direction from which the person was coming, then their expressions eased.

"Young Master!"

Yan Hu hadn't even reached Jiang Chen's side when he already cried out.

Whir!

When Yan Hu saw how disheveled Jiang Chen was, covered in injuries, a towering killing intent surged to the sky.

"Hu Zi, it's okay now!" Jiang Chen gently waved his hand.

Yan Hu reined in his killing intent, guilt written all over his face as he looked at Jiang Chen: "Young Master, I'm sorry, I should have come with you!"

"Enough, don't be so old-fashioned, let's go!" Jiang Chen gave Yan Hu a look and rose to his feet. Smiling lightly at Xi'er and the others, he said, "Then we'll be going back first!"

"Okay, Mr. Jiang, take good care of your injuries. We will all be here standing guard for the next three days!" Ha'er reminded.

Jiang Chen nodded to show he understood. Three days was the time Ha'er had given him to inform the Flame Dragon side. After three days, they would have to report to the Holy Court!

Yan Hu reached out to support Jiang Chen, nodded toward Xi'er and the others, then turned and leaped towards Longjiang City.

In the central villa of Wu Yati's estate.

Li Wuji and Zhang Wushang stood in front of the bed, Li'er stood at the doorway with an exceptionally grim expression, and on the ground knelt Ta Ta'er, pale-faced and bleeding from the mouth.

"Ta Ta'er, why on earth did you want to kill my uncle, didn't my uncle treat you well?" Li'er roared loudly.

He had been interrogating Ta Ta'er for a long time already, but Ta Ta'er had remained silent.

"Li'er, stop asking, I won't tell you. By not telling you, I will simply die, but if I were to tell you, and you guys don't kill me, then I would suffer a fate worse than death!"

Ta Ta'er sadly smiled and turned to look at Li Wuji and the others: "I really envied Wu Yati, born with noble status, being heavily relied upon just by that identity alone. I had been with the organization since childhood, struggling for many years, yet I could only serve as his guard, haha! Haha! What a mockery of justice!"

"It's not a mockery of justice, you just want too much!" a deep voice rang out as Yan Hu, supporting Jiang Chen, entered the room.

"Mr. Jiang!"

"Mr. Jiang, you are injured?"

"Mr. Jiang, how did you get so severely injured?"

Seeing Jiang Chen's terrible state, Li Wuji, Zhang Wushang, and Li'er exclaimed in shock.

Jiang Chen waved his hand, signaling that he was alright, then turned to look at Ta Ta'er kneeling on the floor: "Identity has always been an excuse for some people. My previous identity was ridiculed by everyone around, but I still relied on my own efforts and strength to get to where I am today. So, never resort to excuses."

Upon hearing these words, Ta Ta'er's face changed, his heart violently trembled, and regret flashed in his eyes.

Jiang Chen no longer paid attention to Ta Ta'er, extended his hand, and handed a vial to Li Wuji: "Inject this into Wu Yati's bloodstream."

"Yes!" Li Wuji responded, took the vial, and walked towards Wu Yati.

Yan Hu helped Jiang Chen to sit on the bedside, and after Li Wuji injected the medicine into Wu Yati's body, Jiang Chen checked Wu Yati's pulse.
