Chapter 802: Chapter 805 Pu Minsung’s Secret

”Mr. Mengte De’er, since you’ve avenged Jun Cheng, then you must know who it was that killed him!” Li Xiangmin began with a dark expression on his face.

Mengte De’er nodded and said, ”Of course, I know. To avenge Mr. Pu Juncheng, my bodyguard Chen Jiang here has suffered an injury.”

He gestured toward Jiang Chen and continued, ”The people who pursued Mr. Pu Juncheng were two Innate Grandmasters. They seem like Beihai National people, one named Sanben, another named Yamada. If I’m not wrong, they should be from the Divine Palace of Beihai National.”

”Mr. Mengte De’er knows about the Divine Palace?!” Li Xiangmin exclaimed in shock, staring at Mengte De’er in disbelief.

Mengte De’er smirked coldly, ”So what? Is the Divine Palace that remarkable?”

Shaken internally, Li Xiangmin tentatively said, ”Mr. Mengte De’er is...”

”Mr. Li, I am here to do business with you. It is better that you do not know my identity!” Mengte De’er declared arrogantly.

Li Xiangmin’s heart trembled once more, knowing about the Divine Palace and showing such disdain, this must definitely be someone from a major power!

With a cunning glint in his eye, Li Xiangmin softly said, ”To be frank, Mr. Mengte De’er, there are members of the Divine Palace currently visiting my home. Would you be willing to go and confront them in person?”

Bang!

Mengte De’er slammed his palm down on the table, shouting angrily, ”Confront them in person? Do you doubt me, Mengte De’er? Would I, Mengte De’er, slander the Divine Palace?”

”No, that’s not what I meant, Mr. Mengte De’er,” Li Xiangmin hurriedly explained, even more convinced that Mengte De’er belonged to some secretive major power, given his disdain for the Divine Palace.

”Enough, De’er.”

Xing Fei reached out and tugged Mengte De’er’s arm, whispering soothingly, ”Mr. Li is also trying to find the murderer of his nephew. What’s the harm in confronting them? Besides, aren’t we still planning to discuss business with Mr. Li? The shares are useless in our hands, it would be better to sell them to Mr. Li, and then we can buy a small island and enjoy ourselves properly.”

Mengte De’er turned his head, looking at Xing Fei with fondness, ”Alright, as you wish.”

Turning back to face Li Xiangmin, Mengte De’er’s expression cooled again, ”I will go and confront those people from the Divine Palace, but I will not take action for you. You have to settle your own affairs!”

”Yes, of course, we cannot ask Mr. Mengte De’er’s people to take action!” Li Xiangmin quickly nodded in agreement.

Watching this scene, Pu Minsung eyed Jiang Chen suspiciously.

He was somewhat puzzled by what Jiang Chen was doing. Could it be... Mr. Jiang was really just a bodyguard for this Mengte De’er?

But isn’t he the Family Head of the Jiang family? How could he possibly be someone else’s bodyguard?

Harboring doubt, Pu Minsung mused silently, then softly said, ”Uncle Li, Jun Cheng was my brother. I would like to go along and see, perhaps I could be of help.”

”Sure!” Li Xiangmin nodded indifferently, then turned to Mengte De’er, ”Mr. Mengte De’er, it’s getting late. I’ll immediately inform the estate to prepare dinner. How about we dine together?”

”That’s fine, but my guard here has been injured and still hasn’t recovered. He needs a quiet room to rest,” Mengte De’er said, gesturing toward Jiang Chen.

Li Xiangmin examined Jiang Chen’s complexion closely, noticing the pallor, and nodded in agreement.

A few people exited the company building, got into their cars, and drove toward the Li family estate. Li Xiangmin and Li Xiangzhen shared one vehicle, Pu Minsung with his mother had another, Mengte De’er, Xing Fei, and Jiang Chen together in another, and the three Mo Bao brothers in yet another.

”Haha! Mengte De’er, you’ve really got talent, you could go grab an Academy Award! That acting was simply explosive!” Jiang Chen laughed heartily as he drove.

”Yeah! I was worried that the big guy might mess up his part, but he played it so convincingly!” Xing Fei sat in the back, wrapping her arm around Mengte De’er’s, her face radiating joy as she looked at him.

Mengte De’er scratched his head, grinning innocently: ”I just imitated Mr. Howard’s mannerisms that I observed at the Beast Fighting Arena, it was decent, wasn’t it?”

”More than decent, it was spot on!” Jiang Chen chuckled: ”Even I, I’m afraid, couldn’t have pulled off that kind of haughty air.”

Xing Fei smiled faintly: ”Brother, you have pride but dislike being overbearing, whereas Howard acts so arrogantly it’s unbearable. He only humbles himself before you, big brother, but you are much stronger than him!”

Ding-ling-ling!

A phone’s ringtone chimed, and Jiang Chen picked up his phone, connected it to the car’s Bluetooth: ”Hello, Mr. Pu Minsung.”

”Mr. Jiang, what is going on?” Pu Minsung’s voice came through the car speakers.

Jiang Chen’s gaze turned slightly stern, and his voice carried a trace of coldness: ”Mr. Pu Minsung, this matter is none of your concern.”

”Mr. Jiang, please don’t misunderstand, I have no other intention, I just want to help you, please believe me, I truly want to help you,” Pu Minsung’s voice came through urgently from the speaker.

”Help me? Why would you want to help me?” Jiang Chen frowned: ”Don’t tell me it’s just because of our business partnership.”

”It’s not...” The other side fell silent for a moment before Pu Minsung’s voice came through again, quieter this time, and somewhat somber, ”Mr. Jiang, did you destroy a genetic research base?”

”How did you know?!” A cold light flashed in Jiang Chen’s eyes, his voice tinged with a hint of murderous intent.

Xing Fei and Mengte De’er also furrowed their brows, their eyes glinting with lethal fury as they stared at the car’s speaker.

”Mr. Jiang, I... my mother and I have also received Gene Potions, we’re successful carriers of Injection No. 2, the base you destroyed was the one we were at!” Pu Minsung’s voice came through the speaker, sounding somewhat despondent.

Jiang Chen was startled and stared directly at the car’s speaker, recalling what Su Yun had said back at the base: there were three survivors of Injection No. 2!

After a long silence, Jiang Chen spoke without a trace of emotion: ”Why are you telling me this?”

”Mr. Jiang, you’re the only hope for my mother and me! I... I can only trust you, and I ask you to trust me! I genuinely want to help you. I don’t want to be a monster, and neither does my mother. We want to be free, to break away from the control of that organization.”

By this point, Pu Minsung’s voice was thick with tears.

Jiang Chen didn’t say anything, just quietly listened as Pu Minsung continued:

”But we were in utter despair because the organization is so vast, we were truly desperate. But just when we were most hopeless, we received a command from the organization to exploit Sangsen Group’s attempt to break into the Flame Dragon market as an opportunity to get close to you, earn your trust, then eliminate you, to avenge the base!”

Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow, his voice turning icy: ”Avenge?”
