"Right."

Jiang Chen nodded.

"This..."

"Mr. Jiang, what, what kind of qualification is this! When we met, you were still..." Yue Zhenfeng stammered in surprise.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, then quietly asked, "When should we go?"

"This... Mr. Jiang, can we go at the end of this month?" Song Wanqiu looked at Jiang Chen with hopeful eyes.

Yue Zhenfeng was startled and said in surprise, "You mean to... Miss Song, that's a bit harsh!"

"What's the matter?" Jiang Chen looked at the two in confusion.

"It's not that," Song Wanqiu hurriedly explained. "Mr. Yue, don't misunderstand, I don't want to refuse during the old man's birthday. I want to propose breaking off the engagement after wishing Elder Yue a happy birthday."

"A birthday wish?"

Jiang Chen paused for a moment and then a hint of deep meaning flashed in his eyes as he turned to Yue Zhenfeng. "When is Elder Yue's grand birthday?"

"The 28th of this month," Yue Zhenfeng replied softly.

Jiang Chen nodded, his eyes narrowing slightly as he asked again, "At Elder Yue's grand birthday, will all the people from the hidden family clans be there?"

"That's not certain. The exchanges between hidden family clans are actually not that frequent. Those who attend are mostly our Yue Family's subsidiary clans and the other two big clans along with their subsidiaries. Some clans might not come. Of course, some more active clans will come uninvited!" Yue Zhenfeng shook his head.

"Those who qualify will be there, right?" Jiang Chen chuckled.

Yue Zhenfeng smiled and nodded.

"In that case, I must attend this birthday banquet!" Jiang Chen spoke meaningfully.

Yue Zhenfeng paused for a moment, looking at Jiang Chen suspiciously. "Mr. Jiang, you seem to be implying something. Can you explain? You're making me anxious!"

Jiang Chen was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Zhen Feng, I greatly respect your ancestor. I can tell you a bit out of respect for him, but I hope you won't shame your ancestor."

Yue Zhenfeng's brow furrowed, and his expression became stern as he stared intently at Jiang Chen.

"I can't give you the specifics, but let's just say, within the Martial Dao World, some global powers are uniting in an attempt to take control of Flame Dragon. I'm not referring to the Flame Dragon Martial Arts World, but the entire Flame Dragon," Jiang Chen said gravely.

"What?!"

"This..."

Yue Zhenfeng, Song Wanqiu, and Wang Zongming all looked at Jiang Chen in amazement.

Jiang Chen turned to Song Wanqiu and said quietly, "The pharmaceutical companies under the large Flame Dragon enterprise and some other pharmaceutical companies controlled by Flame Dragon are slowly being transferred into my hands. You're aware of this, Miss Song, right?"

"I know, wasn't it done by people from the Flame Dragon Group?" Song Wanqiu responded quietly, and then suddenly realized: "They..."

"Right, since they are doing this, don't you understand? There are some things that the Flame Dragon Group can't handle directly, so we have to do it ourselves!" Jiang Chen remarked lightly.

"Do you mean... your recruitment of people to acquire pharmaceutical companies is related to what you were talking about?" Song Wanqiu asked earnestly.

Jiang Chen nodded lightly: "Yes, otherwise, do you think the Flame Dragon Group would have readily provided me with two trillion in funds?"

"This..." Song Wanqiu looked startled and then quickly apologized: "Mr. Jiang, I'm sorry for the acquisition all this time, I..."

"I understand, it's natural human behavior. Our relationship isn't that deep yet, but I really appreciate your financial support," Jiang Chen chuckled.

Song Wanqiu, full of guilt, replied, "No, I've failed Mr. Jiang's trust. Now I realize, when Mr. Jiang first pulled me into the group, it was such a sign of trust."

"Haha!" Jiang Chen chuckled lightly. "If you weren't Mr. Song's granddaughter, I wouldn't dare to pull you into the group!"

Song Wanqiu chuckled gracefully, her heart set on a decision.

Jiang Chen's expression shifted slightly. He knew that the upcoming acquisitions would be easier. Song Wanqiu's Jinhuan Clubhouse was one of Flame Dragon's most elite commercial clubs. The business channels she controlled were unimaginable.

With Song Wanqiu going all out, the acquisition speed could at least double.

This is also why Jiang Chen revealed his purpose for acquiring pharmaceutical companies today. The crisis facing Yi Chen made him realize that the opponent might have suspected something; the speed of acquisitions must be sped up!

"Mr. Jiang, which family do you suspect?" Yue Zhenfeng and the others finished talking and looked solemnly at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen pondered for a moment, then shook his head softly: "I can't tell you now, lest you act prematurely and alert the enemy. We are only suspecting at this point and have not yet obtained concrete evidence, but... it's very likely."

"Mr. Jiang, may I have your phone number please? If you confirm it, please notify me. Our Yue Family will definitely help out," Yue Zhenfeng earnestly offered.

Jiang Chen nodded: "Okay."

The two exchanged contact information.

Ding-a-ling!

A cell phone ringtone rang out. Jiang Chen took out his phone, raised an eyebrow, and answered the call: "Hello, Hu Zi."

"Young Master, that guy definitely has a problem. After leaving the office, he went to Xinlan Bar. The bar isn't even open, but there are people inside, seemingly waiting specifically for him. I sensed them; none have significant strength, but their eyes are very sharp—not ordinary people. I suspect..."

"Gene Organization!" Jiang Chen quietly continued Yan Hu's words.

"Right, I suspect it's them!" Yan Hu nodded.

"It seems this crisis with Yi Chen is indeed their doing. Be careful. Since they dare come to Dingjing, there's likely a strong presence overseeing, and they know that Supreme Hu Sha has left here. Be careful not to be discovered. I am bringing people over right now!" Jiang Chen urgently advised.

"Yes!"

After hanging up, Jiang Chen furrowed his brows in thought and dialed another number.

"Hello, Mr. Jiang." A hoarse voice came from the other end.

"Elder Wu, where are you?" Jiang Chen asked softly.

"I'm with Elder Yao!"

Jiang Chen spoke softly: "Don't let Elder Yao notice. He's already so tired, testing so many medications and researching new herbal combinations every day. Gather Mengte De'er and Fei'er at Yi Chen's headquarters lobby."

"Yes!"

After hanging up, Jiang Chen called Li Wuji, directing him and Zhang Wushang to find Yan Hu directly.

Putting away his phone, Jiang Chen stood up and said, "Miss Song, please wait here for a while. Once Jing Yi and the others finish their meeting, let them take you to rest at my house. I need to handle something."

"Okay."

Song Wanqiu nodded. Having heard Jiang Chen's phone conversation, she understood the underlying reason for acquiring the pharmaceutical companies—it was to counter the Gene Organization.

To Song Wanqiu, the Gene Organization was not unfamiliar; it was an organization that always sat on Mr. Song's desk.

At this moment, Song Wanqiu fully believed Jiang Chen's words!
