I Can Infinitely Synthesize Transcendent Genes - Chapter 149: The Strong Dragon Emerges from the Pass (Thanks for the reward support from the elegant &*heart)_1

“Young man, do you regret it now?”

The elder outside the door, dressed in a Tang suit, had his hair meticulously combed. Separated by a mere door, it felt as though they were worlds apart.

And in fact, it truly was so.

To the people of the Jiang family, Pei Jinye was a youth with no background whatsoever, no different from an ant at the foot of a mountain.

They only knew that Pei Jinye seemed to have some connection with Zhou Weiren, but even that connection had become a joke after this morning’s phone call.

The elder in the Tang suit seemed to want to mock the slender youth behind the door.

But just thinking about how his dearly beloved grandson had died at the hands of the other party, the mocking smile couldn’t quite appear on his face, as the annoyance and resentment in his eyes was all too clear.

“Regret what? Are you asking me to neglect justice for my own benefit?” Pei Jinye looked over strangely and then calmly said, looking away, “I don’t know who you are, and I don’t care to know. Since this morning, after being continuously interrogated and questioned, I’ve finally realized something—the world really has no shortage of idiots. And don’t doubt it, that includes you.”

“How dare you!”

No sooner had Pei Jinye finished speaking than someone at the elder’s side immediately shouted loyally in anger.

Pei Jinye didn’t bother with the other party’s furious look, merely lifting his gaze slightly, “Have you heard my oath, ‘I devote my blood to Xuanyuan’? If not, I’ll put it simpler, have you heard ‘evil shall never prevail over good’?”

“Sto” The middle-aged man outside raised his hand intending to point at Pei Jinye’s nose and scold him, but the words that followed were suppressed back by a look from Pei Jinye.

By the time he realized what had happened, he was furious with embarrassment.

He had actually been scared by a mere boy.

Before he could say anything more, the elder in the Tang suit raised his hand to signal him to stop, and the middle-aged man dared not speak again.

“Youth inevitably comes with fervor and naivety… Little Tiger was the same as you back in his day.” The elder in the Tang suit showed no hint of being affected by Pei Jinye’s sharp words, “But reality is reality. Young people always feel like they carry some sort of zealous mission, but attempting to challenge the established order can lead to unimaginable consequences.”

“So what? What does all this have to do with his breaking the law? If he hadn’t broken the law, none of this would have happened, right?” Pei Jinye interrupted bluntly.

The elder in the Tang suit halted his next words, staring intently at Pei Jinye, “At first, I thought your targeting Little Tiger had some ulterior motive. Now, it seems I was overthinking it.”

He turned to leave,

Apparently feeling there was no longer a need to talk.

But he still left a remark.

“Young man challenging authority is commendable for its courage, yet it is ultimately foolish in the extreme. You might not care about your own life, but what about the people around you?”

Just as the elder in the Tang suit finished speaking and was about to leave the corridor, he suddenly heard a question come from the solitary confinement room.

“Old Uncle, what’s your name?”

The elder in the Tang suit stopped. He thought Pei Jinye was considering surrender and pleading.

But unfortunately…

His most beloved grandson was dead.

Dead at the hands of that young man in the room.

But one must face the consequences of their wrongdoings.

At the door.

Xie Zuxin stood in his spot, watching the elder in the Tang suit silently.

Neither of them greeted each other.

As the elder in the Tang suit stepped forward, Xie Zuxin lowered his head towards the ground, his hands hung before him in a submissive manner that often resembled a student in front of their principal.

Without saying a word, the elder left with his companions from Xie Zuxin’s side.

Xie Zuxin waited for a moment, then slowly lifted his head.

He fell into deep thought.

“The old man has lost a grandson… He seems very angry.”

He withdrew his gaze.

And approached the door to Pei Jinye’s solitary confinement room.

Just as the guard was about to fetch the keys to open the door again, Xie Zuxin suddenly took out his phone, waved his hand as a signal, and then left the solitary room.

“It’s me… the city hall is convening an emergency meeting tonight? I understand, I’ll be there immediately…”

The guard put the key back.

As if he hadn’t seen anything that evening.

With such important figures coming one after another because of that young man inside the room… to be frank, he felt sympathetic, but he also knew that the people outside were the ones he absolutely couldn’t offend.

Thirty minutes until the change of guard.

The guard handed over the keys after his shift and left.

The two new arrivals seemed familiar with each other. Suddenly, one of them said, “Old Lin, I left my walkie-talkie down in the office, I’m going to get it. If the squad leader comes, just tell him I’ve got a stomachache.”

“Don’t worry about it.”

Once he made sure no one was coming,

Lin Junheng suddenly knocked on Pei Jinye’s door, opened it, and slipped in.

“Brother Kui said he’s been targeted by Xu Tian and can’t make it here, but he asked me to tell you that the Jiang family has already made their move. Sun San has been dismissed, your parents’ business has been banned, and the Ma Gang Chamber of Commerce might even have received instructions from the Jiang family. However, Boss Cai from the Black Mountain Association is standing off against them, so a confrontation won’t happen right away. Brother Kui means he’ll try to mediate…”

Pei Jinye listened quietly as the other man described the situation at home.

After a moment, he looked up, “Thank you.”

Lin Junheng seemed somewhat embarrassed, as if feeling guilty for not being able to help Pei Jinye, “I also heard that the city hall is convening a high-level internal meeting tonight about your case…”

“Tonight?” Pei Jinye suddenly said enigmatically.

“Yes, tonight. I saw our squad leader’s schedule; it will probably go on until after midnight.” Lin Junheng looked on, “Is there anything else I can help you with?”

“Can you tell me what time it is now?” Pei Jinye lowered his gaze.

Lin Junheng had no idea why Pei Jinye suddenly asked for the time and honestly glanced at his watch, “It’s eleven twelve now, if—”

“Thanks. I’ll buy you a drink to apologize later.”

Before Lin Junheng could react, Pei Jinye’s hand suddenly rested on his shoulder.

“Into dreams.”

“Forget all this…”

“Old Lin, what’s wrong with you, are you feeling unwell?” His partner returned to see Lin Junheng in a daze and looked at him with hesitation.

“I’m fine, just might not have rested well…” Lin Junheng looked down, somewhat troubled, scratching his head, “I seem to have forgotten something.”

He opened the peephole to the cell and looked inside.

The person inside was lying down, his back turned to him.

He closed the peephole again.

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing… I guess I just didn’t rest well at noon.”

Under the cover of night, a shadow swiftly moved.

“Ma Gang… Jiang family… Xu Tian… Xie Zuxin…”

Pei Jinye silently recited these names in his mind.

Murderous intent boiled within him.

Did they really think he was so easy to provoke?

Inside a rental house.

A young female archer was practicing her shooting in the yard.

The young Swordsman rambled on about last night’s big battle in West Suburb, “I heard quite a few people died. The Federation doesn’t know what the hell it’s doing, even using loudspeakers to call for a retreat. How idiotic.”

The bespectacled man listened quietly, noticing that all information online had already been erased.

“So, is it confirmed about that person from the Jiang family?”

“It should be… Plus, when I was flipping through the news this morning, I found someone was whitewashing Jiang Suhu. They even dare to take such dirty money,” the young Swordsman said, despising evil.

The bespectacled man wasn’t surprised: “The Jiang family’s foundation in Da Peng City is too solid. If it weren’t for the First and Second Houses splitting, the Jiang family might indeed have been able to cover the sky with one hand.”

“Brother, do you think the Jiang family will swallow this grievance?” the young Swordsman asked curiously.

“If it’s the First House, my answer is yes. But the Second House… That’s difficult, they’re used to being domineering,” the bespectacled man shook his head.

“But if Jiang Suhu really broke the law, why would the Jiang Family Second House dare to go against the Federation’s decree? Where do they get the courage?” the young Swordsman didn’t understand.

“The Jiang family never goes against the law per se, but rather plays tricks within the order… Jiang Qingcang is an old fox,” he said.

As the bespectacled man spoke.

Suddenly, the computer screen went black, and a line of text appeared.

“Can you take down the boss of Ma Gang tonight?”

One sentence, and both the bespectacled man and the young Swordsman felt a chill in their hearts.

The two exchanged a glance.

“What happened? Such a strong killing intent.”

“Brother, should we accept it?” the young Swordsman inquired.

The bespectacled man got up: “Grab your tools!”

Shortly after.

The address information of Ma Gang’s Boss Xiong appeared on the screen.

In the city center.

Sun San was anxiously pacing on the balcony. His phone quickly rang, and he immediately answered, “This is Sun San… Still no news about Brother Pei? Thank you, please be sure to tell me if there are any updates.”

After hanging up, Sun San looked hesitant.

He couldn’t find Pei Jinye’s whereabouts even with all his connections activated.

Could it be…

“No, that’s not possible…”

He had already learned that Director Li had been dismissed.

If something had really happened to Pei Jinye, they wouldn’t have taken action against the director so quickly.

But where exactly did Pei Jinye go?

To a secret agency?

As Sun San was filled with doubts.

Cars were confronting each other at the corner not far from the building. The muscular leader held a phone and then handed it over to Cai Weiqian across from him.

“Boss Cai, a call from our Boss Xiong.”

Cai Weiqian gestured, and the bald man Old Wei took the phone from the other’s hand and passed it to Cai Weiqian.

“Boss Xiong, I know what you want to say, but you cannot touch the person in this building… No offense, but you just can’t. I’ve made a promise!”

Cai Weiqian showed loyalty for once.

If it hadn’t been for Sun San’s call for help, he wouldn’t even have known that there was trouble at Boss Pei’s home. With such an opportunity to show his worth, even if it meant waging war against Ma Gang, so be it.

Boss Pei had quite a few Transcendents under him.

He made up his mind, he would definitely protect Boss Pei’s parents tonight.

“It’s too much to involve family in Jianghu affairs, don’t you think, Boss Xiong? I’m laying it down here tonight; if you dare to make a move, I’ll dare to lead people into battle against you!”

Boss Xiong was very annoyed: “Do you know whose idea this is? This is the Jiang family’s doing.”

“The Jiang family?” Cai Weiqian was taken aback.

He had thought the Jiang family mentioned by Boss Xiong was different from the one he knew.

He swallowed uneasily.

Cai Weiqian hesitated.

The Jiang family was a top-tier magnate in Da Peng City.

Going against such a powerhouse was not just about not gaining favor, but whether he could even survive was questionable.

Turning around.

Cai Weiqian walked into the shadows and spoke softly, “Boss Xiong, give me the real scoop, what exactly happened?”

Boss Xiong said nonchalantly, “What else could it be? Don’t you know about what happened last night in West Suburb?”

“I… only heard a part of it.” Cai Weiqian had been busy entertaining guests last night and went to sleep early, really not knowing what had transpired.

“The old man’s most beloved grandson is gone, killed by that Pei kid! I heard the old man even smashed his favorite porcelain antique. The Pei family must pay with their lives this time!”

“Sss!”

Cai Weiqian drew a sharp breath.

That Boss Pei was really damn ruthless, daring to kill a member of the Jiang family, and it was that person’s grandson.

Boss Xiong asked again: “Now that I’ve said this much, can your men step aside?”

Cai Weiqian narrowed his eyes.

Under the night.

He pondered for a moment.

Then he raised his head.

“Sorry, but I can’t comply. Out in the world, a man must not break his word. And besides… misfortune should not extend to family members.”
