"Young Jiang, you've finally woken up!" Supreme Hu Sha exclaimed with a face full of surprise as soon as he arrived, looking at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen bowed to the two Venerables, expressing his gratitude, "Thank you both for your assistance!"

"Haha! No need to thank us. The important thing is that you're awake, really awake!" Supreme Hu Sha said joyfully.

Ming Que, however, looked at Jiang Chen with a strange gleam in her eyes and said with a light laugh, "Mr. Jiang, don't you recognize me?"

Jiang Chen paused slightly, looking at Ming Que with a blank expression.

Without saying anything more, Ming Que took off the black veil from her face.

"Su Yun?!"

Jiang Chen was suddenly stunned, looking at Ming Que in astonishment.

This Ming Que looked exactly like the famous movie star, Su Yun, whom Jiang Chen had encountered the first time he had destroyed the base of the Gene Organization!

"How could it be you? How are you so strong?" Jiang Chen looked at Su Yun with disbelief plastered all over his face.

"Hey, hey, hey, Ming Que, don't play young!" Hu Sha gave Ming Que a glance and said with annoyance.

"Old thing, shut up!" Ming Que glared fiercely at Hu Sha, turned to smile at Jiang Chen, "It's good that you still remember this face, you've not let down my granddaughter who has been constantly thinking about you!"

"Granddaughter? You…" Jiang Chen was baffled for a moment, staring dumbfoundedly at Ming Que.

Always thinking about him?

This...

Jiang Chen blinked, somewhat unsure how to respond to this revelation.

Ming Que smiled slightly, "I am Su Yun's grandmother, Su Wanru. The reason I still maintain this appearance is that when I broke through to the Venerable Realm, I chose to use the Heaven and Earth Vital Energy to permanently preserve my appearance at that time!"

"Oh! Oh!"

Jiang Chen nodded in understanding, taking a careful look at Su Wanru. He indeed noticed some differences between Su Wanru and Su Yun.

Although they looked exactly alike and Jiang Chen mistook Su Wanru for Su Yun at first glance, upon closer examination, there were differences.

Su Yun had a pure gaze, while Su Wanru's eyes carried a hint of world-weariness, and Su Wanru carried an air of arrogance that Su Yun did not have.

Su Yun was the gentle and refined hot spring girl, while Su Wanru was the aloof and enchanting Medusa Queen.

"Let's head back first," Jiang Chen said, having distinguished between Su Yun and Su Wanru, and promptly changed the subject.

"Alright!" Hu Sha responded, and Su Wanru also nodded.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Everyone quickly headed towards Dingyun Lake.

...

Dingyun Lake Villa!

Jiang Chen and the others were seated on the sofas in the living room.

"Young Jiang, the Gene Organization really values you highly, eh? They actually sent so many people to kill you! Your operation has been exposed this time!" Supreme Hu Sha shook his head helplessly.

He hadn't experienced a life-or-death battle in a long time, and he hadn't expected that what he thought might be a boring mission would turn out to be so thrilling from the start!

"Senior Hu Sha, I actually think that the Gene Organization might have just coincidentally launched an attack, rather than having discovered our purpose," Jiang Chen pondered and spoke softly.

"Coincidently? They coincidentally sent such a powerful lineup?" Hu Sha couldn't believe it, his eyes widening.

Jiang Chen opened his mouth but said nothing, instead staring straight at Supreme Hu Sha.

Supreme Ming Que nodded and said, "I also don't think it was a coincidence. Otherwise, how would they know this old guy Hu Sha was here? They must have investigated beforehand. However, if even Hu Sha's whereabouts can be thoroughly investigated, the Gene Organization's intelligence network is a bit too terrifying!"

Supreme Hu Sha hadn't reacted when Jiang Chen was staring at him in silence, but he immediately understood after hearing Supreme Ming Que's words.

With his face burning hot with embarrassment, Hu Sha said somewhat ashamedly, "It really wasn't because your operation was exposed?"

"Senior Hu Sha, how many people in your Flame Dragon Group are aware of this?" Jiang Chen thought for a moment and asked softly.

"Not many. I knew about it because those two old bastards, Long Huang and Feng Luan, wanted me to come—that's the only reason I knew. I assume it's the same for Ming Que. So besides the two you informed, Little Qing and Little Bai, only the four of us know!" Supreme Hu Sha shook his head.

"Then there's no chance it was exposed!"

Jiang Chen shook his head again, "Only a few people know about this matter: me, Elder Yao, Hu Zi, Elder Qing, Elder Bai, and a few of you Supremes. Don't look at Qiangqiang and Ling'er being here; they have no idea what I'm up to."

Speaking to this point, Jiang Chen frowned slightly, his thoughts continuing, "My friends only know that I asked them to acquire medical companies; they also don't know what I'm up to. The probability of our operation being exposed is very slim. After all, acquiring medical companies isn't something that would arouse suspicions of the Gene Organization. Especially since the Secular World has just experienced a global disease outbreak!"

"That's true, but... how did they come to assign a warrior at the pinnacle of the Venerable Realm?" Ming Que interjected with a puzzled look, "These people should be the strongest force left in Flame Dragon. If there were more, they would have acted earlier. How do you explain this? Apart from knowing Hu Sha was here, there's no other explanation! Knowing Hu Sha is here but unaware of his purpose seems illogical, right?"

Supreme Hu Sha's old face reddened, reluctantly admitting, "It's... it seems I did indeed unwittingly give away the news of my arrival to them."

"What? Hu Sha, you old fool, you actually colluded with the enemy?" Ming Que was surprised for a moment, half-jokingly looking at Hu Sha.

Hu Sha's face turned urgent, just about to explain, when he suddenly remembered what happened before Jiang Chen lost consciousness, his expression darkening as he lowered his head, "I... seem to have indeed unintentionally colluded with them!"

"This..." Ming Que was taken aback; she was only joking, but didn't expect Hu Sha to actually agree with her. Her brows tightly furrowed, her voice suddenly turning cold, "What exactly happened?!"

"Senior Ming Que, it's not Senior Hu Sha's fault, it's that the people from the Gene Organization are too... too cunning!" Jiang Chen quickly tried to smooth things over.

"Speak!" Ming Que ignored Jiang Chen, her gaze piercingly fixed on Hu Sha.

Sigh!

"Here's what happened: I called my great-grandson Lin Meng this time, wanting him to build a good relationship with Young Jiang. After all, both you and I know that if Young Jiang succeeds, he would be a great benefactor to Flame Dragon. But who could have guessed..." Supreme Hu Sha explained the situation briefly.

The people in the villa fell into silence.

"Hu Sha, does Long Huang know about this?" Ming Que broke the silence.

Hu Sha nodded lightly, "Long Huang knows. He gave me a good scolding."

"You old muddlehead deserve it! After dealing with the Gene Organization for so long, your own closest..." Ming Que began to scold Hu Sha, but halfway through, seeing the dejected look on Hu Sha's face, she found herself unable to continue.

"Young Jiang, aren't you working on..." Ming Que's eyes shifted, turning to look at Jiang Chen, but she stopped halfway through her sentence, glancing at Lou Qiangqiang and the others.

"Let's go to Elder Yao's villa at the back!" Jiang Chen understood and spoke softly.

Jiang Chen, Medicine Saint, Hu Sha, Ming Que, and Yan Hu stood up and walked out of the villa, heading towards the separate villa that had been built for Elder Yao behind it.
