I Can Infinitely Synthesize Transcendent Genes

Chapter 248: Wu Family, so what? Kill the heir as well (asking for monthly tickets at the end of the month)_1
One night, a bloodshed incident at Mist Mountain, the Cloud Whale Steel hijacking in Storm City, the fire incident at Da Peng City’s smart brain hub…

Every event that occurred here sent shivers down Cai Weiqian’s spine.

He could at least be certain that “Brother Jia” must be related to the hijacking, as for the other two incidents, he was praying they had no connection whatsoever.

“Boss, about what happened at Mist Mountain… it’s said that at least three organizations in Storm City lost their backbone, and apparently a big shot from Nagano died too,” Old Wei said.

Cai Weiqian’s eyelid twitched at Old Wei’s words, his response tinged with irritation, “If they’re dead, they’re dead, what’s it to us? How’s the retrofitting of the transport ship coming along?”

“All in accordance with your orders, boss. Completely revamped; even its own father wouldn’t recognize it,” came the reply.

“Good, that’s very good.”

As Cai Weiqian was about to light himself a cigar, the clamor of sirens suddenly erupted from the street outside, making his heart tighten inexplicably, “What’s happening out there?”

“I’ll go check.”

Old Wei stepped out and rapidly returned saying, “It’s the Night Patrol Department, they’re catching criminals… We received a warrant this morning, it’s probably related to last night’s hub fire.”

Cai Weiqian nodded thoughtfully.

“By the way, boss, New Year’s is next month, should we go get the New Year goods now?” Old Wei inquired.

Without a second thought, Cai Weiqian scribbled a note: “Let the brothers all have a good New Year.”

“Thank you, boss.”

After a moment of contemplation, Cai Weiqian sent a message to Brother Jia: [Brother Jia, the goods have been retrofitted very thoroughly. Do you want to inspect them?]

The message, once sent, vanished like a stone into the sea.

…

Jiang ancestral home.

Within the back mountain.

After a substantial replenishment last night, Pei Jinye’s three attribute values were skyrocketing.

It was this morning when.

He finally reached the threshold for his second Blood Refining breakthrough, naturally distractive from responding to Cai Weiqian’s message.

With a surge of breath,

Pei Jinye officially stepped into the Martial Artist Realm of Third Blood Refining.

He scrolled down his attribute panel.

Now his panel was brimming with a dense array of talents.

Last night’s devouring spree was even more satisfying than shopping for New Year’s goods.

He contemplated his numerous extraordinary abilities.

For spiritual power, he had Blood Moon which could devour memories, Qi Sense Tracking for tracking, and Crow which could drive people insane…

All these could be the trump cards for close distance deception.

He had now assembled the elemental abilities of Water Arrow and Fiery Flame.

Lately, he mostly used abilities related to his system, on one hand for enhancing blood energy and strength, on the other for protective defense.

“So, I have Light Slash for ranged attacks and am invincible in close combat…”

“Against Transcendents who haven’t cultivated martial arts, as long as their abilities aren’t too bizarre, killing them would be as easy as flipping my hand!”

“Encountering those who have practiced martial arts… that calls for careful consideration. There are many sly old foxes among martial artists…”

Pei Jinye retracted his gaze.

When he stepped out of his room, he had already switched back to the identity of Jiang Qingcang.

“Young master, several violent incidents occurred sequentially last night in our Da Peng City and Storm City…” The middle-aged butler bowed and reported the events of the last night, yet he noticed that the young master seemed utterly indifferent.

He hesitated before saying, “The fire at the smart brain hub is currently suspected to be the work of the Starfire Army,”

Pei Jinye slowly lifted his head, paused his meal and asked, “Wasn’t the Starfire Army’s target always the Star Ring? Why are they turning their attention to Xing Tian now?”

“Yes, hence everyone finds it quite baffling. If the Starfire Army was merely planning to infiltrate from a subsystem of Star Ring, wouldn’t it be more convenient for them to take action in the Western Continent?” The middle-aged butler was also confused, bowing as he added, “I’ll arrange for a Confidential Clerk to inquire further, perhaps an issue we’re unaware of has arisen in the Western Continent…”

“No need,” Pei Jinye gestured dismissively, seemingly nonchalant on the surface, but deep down, he was secretly pondering…

The smart brain hub was where smart brains were stored; any damage to it could potentially prove fatal to Xing Tian.

However, Xing Tian had many smart brain hubs, situated in various cities throughout Central State.

But there was only one primary hub, located in the Central Continent Capital City, heavily guarded by elite forces.

Yet Pei Jinye truly couldn’t understand why the Starfire Army would suddenly decide to target Xing Tian?

Last night, he had encountered the Starfire Army on the way to Storm City, and then, by a stroke of fate, again at Broken Cloud Mountain in Da Peng City.

[“It seems the Starfire Army’s invasion plan didn’t succeed. What if I were to invade?”]

A wild idea tested the waters once more in Pei Jinye’s mind.

This wasn’t the first time he had contemplated invading a smart brain.

Of course, for Pei Jinye, the objective was not control, but sharing resources.

More and more information indicated that the Federation Headquarters had indeed started hoarding cultivation resources from early on… Pei Jinye was not keen on being at the mercy of others.

Of course, keeping up appearances as the amiable high school student was still a role to play normally.

In secret, if he really could hack into the smart brain, then in the future…

“Young master? Young master?”

The butler’s call interrupted Pei Jinye’s further musings.

He looked up, his gaze calm, “What is it?”

“Are you all right? Should I call the family doctor over?” The middle-aged butler looked over with some concern.

“No need.” Pei Jinye composed himself, just as he was about to pick up the last piece of meat on his plate, the middle-aged butler received a message and spoke in a low voice, “Master, the representative from Cloud Whale Steel, Zhong Yun, is right outside the door. She wishes to have a word with you.”

Pei Jinye, unfazed, picked up the slice of meat, “If it’s about last night’s incident, tell her to go find the vice president.”

“Understood, Master.”

The middle-aged butler went down to make arrangements and returned after a short while.

“Miss Zhong has left, but… there has been quite a commotion in the main house these past two days because of the heir issue, and many people from city hall have been sending messages, hoping you would step in.”

“Didn’t they seek help from the Wu Family? Have they not fished the person out yet?” Pei Jinye asked knowingly.

“It’s said that someone sent a message to the Investigation Team last night, but it fell on deaf ears,” the middle-aged butler spoke in a low voice. “Master, since the Investigation Team is ultimately in his hands, if the main house truly offends them to death, wouldn’t we be implicated?”

“The ones above aren’t that foolish.” Pei Jinye calmly wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth, “How’s the progress on the business affairs?”

“We have already secretly acquired 2% of the stock rights,” the middle-aged butler spoke softly. “However, if you wish to become a major shareholder, you’ll need to devour the shares held by Jiang Pinghe, who currently has no intention of letting go.”

“Ruin their reputation; do I need to teach you that?” Pei Jinye looked over slowly.

The middle-aged butler quickly bowed his head, “I understand what to do.”

At that moment, someone announced from outside the door, saying that the young master Wu Zicheng from the Wu Family was waiting outside.

Pei Jinye’s eyebrows raised slightly.

At their next meeting.

This heir from the Wu Family was rather reserved, pushing the wooden box in his hands forward, “This is a Thousand-Year Spirit Ganoderma that my father gathered from North Continent, please accept it with a smile, Grandfather Jiang.”

Looking at the young master in front of him calling him grandfather, his attractiveness was even less than that of the Thousand-Year Spirit Ganoderma.

“You are very kind.”

“Elder Jiang is too modest. I’ve heard of your exploits in Nan Du City, and I’ve always had immense respect and admiration for you,” Wu Zicheng praised generously.

Pei Jinye remained unmoved.

After Wu Zicheng beat around the bush eighteen times, he finally got to the point, “I’d like to ask you to intervene in Xi Qing’s issue.”

Pei Jinye looked at him, unruffled, “What, the face of your Wu Family doesn’t carry as much weight as mine?”

Wu Zicheng laughed awkwardly, “After all, this is your home ground, and your face still carries weight here.”

“Unfortunately.”

Pei Jinye pushed the Ganoderma back.

Wu Zicheng’s complexion changed slightly, “You?”

“The matter of the main house, after all, is not for you, an outsider, to meddle in. If they really wanted my help, they should be the ones appearing before me now, not you,” Pei Jinye said indifferently. “Go back.”

Wu Zicheng stood up, speaking in haste, “Elder, you misunderstand. I will be engaged to Lingsu at the end of the month, so it doesn’t matter whether I get involved sooner or later. If there is any misunderstanding between our two families, we can sit down and talk.”

Pei Jinye’s gaze remained calm.

“A Thousand-Year Spirit Ganoderma as a meeting gift isn’t stingy, but if you think that it can change the internal issues of the Jiang family, you’re being overly optimistic.”

“Elder Jiang, I have come here with sincere intentions this time.”

“Show him out.”

Wu Zicheng was shown out of the Jiang ancestral home.

Standing in front of the main entrance.

The long-waiting middle-aged confidential clerk stepped forward and draped a coat over the young master’s shoulders.

“Young master, what’s the verdict? Did he agree?”

Wu Zicheng shook his head.

He got into the car.

Wu Zicheng frowned deeply, “As expected, I underestimated the problems of the Jiang family. Today I saw his condition, his vitality seemed somewhat inflated…”

The middle-aged confidential clerk, upon hearing this, consoled him, “Young master, don’t get discouraged. Elder Jiang was indeed a hero in his youth, but it’s inevitable to lose reason with age. Besides, there are many rumors out there saying he won’t live much longer. If you successfully take control of the Jiang family this time…”

“Watch your words.” Wu Zicheng suddenly interrupted.

The middle-aged confidential clerk quickly shut his mouth.

Wu Zicheng sighed, his brows relaxing as he closed his eyes, “The time left for me is actually not much… Jiang Lingsu is my only breakthrough.”

The sedan left the Jiang ancestral home.

On the roadside electric pole, a row of birds chattered noisily.

Pei Jinye stood under an old pagoda tree in the back mountain, where a giant python was devouring flesh, its midsection bulging roundly.

A nimble Bluebird perched on Pei Jinye’s shoulder, chirping away at something.

Pei Jinye pondered.

“Sure enough, the Wu Family is eyeing the Jiang family’s meat… It’s a pity he covets what is mine, and that cannot be forgiven.”

He slapped the large body in front of him irritably.

“Eat slower, don’t burst from overeating!”

He turned around.

He whispered a few words to the Bluebird.

…

That same evening.

The Wu Family’s motorcade met with a car accident, resulting in 11 injured and 1 dead on the scene.
