"Yuyu, what do you think?" Tang Taizhong was pleased with his two sons' support. What he feared most was the two of them going against him—that would not only offend Wei Zhao but also push the Tang family into the fire pit.
"Grandfather, I think your decisions are both correct. The cultivation world is already in chaos, and the Hidden Families Arbitration Association exists in name only. There must be a strong organization or a capable expert to overawe these forces, or everything will fall apart, and that will do us no good at all." Tang Yuyu nodded and said, "What we need is stable development. Our Tang family has always been weak; if real chaos breaks out, we will be the ones bullied."
"The words are crude, but the reasoning is sound. Yuyu's words are a bit self-deprecating, but that is the fact of the matter." Tang Taizhong nodded. "Since that is settled, from now on, whenever our Tang family has any major matter, we will report it to President Song. President Lin is too busy and may not have time to deal with us; when something really big happens, we will then go to young hero Lin for help."
"Yes!" The Tang family members quickly voiced their agreement.
In truth, Tang Yuyu very much wanted to speak with Wei Zhao in private, but there was no suitable opportunity, so he had no choice but to let it go.
The biochemically enhanced soldiers who had been sent out had not returned. An Liwen was growing anxious when he received the report from Xiao Chunjie.
"Young Master Wen, bad news—those biochemically enhanced soldiers are all dead." Xiao Chunjie rushed to An Liwen's presence.
"Dead? How? Could the serum have expired early?" An Liwen was stunned for a moment, then asked.
These biochemically enhanced soldiers all relied on Dr. Yin's biochemical serum to boost their strength, but it was not permanent—it had a time limit. Once the time passed, these soldiers were not even as strong as ordinary people. That was why An Liwen asked.
"No, Young Master Wen. According to the image data transmitted from the recording device on the van, Wei Zhao has arrived," Xiao Chunjie said helplessly.
"What?! Wei Zhao has arrived? Really? How did he come? Wasn't it only the Mysterious Investigation Bureau who came?" An Liwen was startled at the news of Wei Zhao's arrival and slammed the table as he rose. "Show me!"
"Yes, I will fetch the recording for you right away!" Xiao Chunjie hurried off to retrieve it.
The recording was brought over quickly. An Liwen watched it with a gloomy expression. He had not expected Wei Zhao to interfere again! He had chosen the Hidden Tang family because they were far from Donghai City and did not have much of a relationship with Wei Zhao. He had thought Wei Zhao would not meddle, but who could have known that Qiu Lingshan would become vice-director of the Mysterious Investigation Bureau and that Wei Zhao would come to help as well.
"How many test subjects do we have left?" An Liwen asked.
"Only six are left," Xiao Chunjie said.
Test subjects capable of being injected with the biochemical serum were not easy to find. Ordinary people could not withstand the serum's ferocity at all—they died right after injection. Only those with strong physiques would do.
In other words, the person had to possess strength approaching the Yellow Rank—not quite Yellow Rank, but still an outstanding fighter among the gangs or one of the top-ranked figures in the underground fighting pits.
Such people were simply hard to find. An Liwen had spent enormous effort to find only a dozen or so, and some of those had failed, because even with such strength, success was not guaranteed at one hundred percent.
In the secular world, such people were truly rare. After all, those who reached the level of Yellow Rank experts were as scarce as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns; these people with quasi-Yellow Rank strength were naturally extremely rare as well.
