Dragon Clan: Force me to be reborn and slay dragons

Chapter 436 Go find your junior brother Lu and sleep with him!
The news of Lu Mingfei's night raid on the Chen family's three secret research institutes was like a fisherman frantically casting his bait on a calm lake, instantly drawing the attention of countless mixed-race families.

He was already a focal point in the eyes of various powerful forces, and his every move affected the nerves of countless people, let alone such a thunderous and undisguised act of violence.

The news first spread like wildfire through the elite family networks in Beijing, and then continued to spread throughout the country.

Kassel College branch base.

Professor Mans practically jumped up from his chair. After listening to his subordinate's urgent report, his face, which had already been shocked by Lu Mingfei several times, was still filled with disbelief.

"The Chen family...how dare they?!"

Mans' voice was somewhat hoarse, finding it hard to believe that the Chen family, with whom he had maintained close contact, was even more despicable than he had imagined.

I was so stupid, really. I only knew they were constantly flirting with the edge of illegality and crime, but I never imagined they would go this far and be so utterly shameless!

He recalled the bloody and insane underground laboratory that he had seen in Tokyo, belonging to Herzog. According to intelligence reports, the research institutes that the Chen family had secretly invested in were even more professional than that German madman's!
The branch manager sat opposite him, his face equally grave, as dark as Ni Ge's.

He had been in charge of domestic dragon-related affairs for many years and had dealt with the Chen family quite a bit. He thought he understood the Chen family's ambitions and their control over the gray areas, but now he realized that he was still too naive.

Right under his nose, in the capital city where he thought he had the greatest influence, such a shocking thief was hiding.

"I have to report to the principal immediately!" Mans calmed down, picked up his phone, and dialed Angers' number.

Meanwhile, in the presidential suite of the Hilton Hotel, Angers had just ended an encrypted communication with Fingel and was looking at the encrypted file package that Fingel had just transmitted with a furrowed brow.

Inside were numerous disturbingly clear photographs and detailed analysis reports about research institutes and some of their research findings that the Chen family had openly or covertly invested in, suspected of conducting illegal or even unethical dragon blood biological experiments.

The photos are somewhat blurry, obviously taken from a distance or from a hidden location, but you can still make out the twisted half-human, half-dragon creatures in the incubation chambers, as well as some hybrids with dull, lifeless eyes, filled only with numbness and despair.

On his way back to the hotel, Lu Mingfei had already made a series of frantic calls to wake up Finger, instructing him to hand over this potentially outdated intelligence to Angers.

Just now, Fingel said on the phone with a grin that this intelligence was a friendly gift from Lu Mingfei, and asked him to deliver it to the principal before the news spread.

The intention is self-evident; this is a choice that Lu Mingfei is presenting to Angers and the Kassel College, or rather, to the Peruvian Party.

Is it better to sever all ties with the Chen family and stand on the side of righteousness, or to stand by and watch coldly, or even secretly obstruct, for the sake of the long-standing cooperative relationship with the Chen family?

Angers was pondering whether Lu Mingfei had any ulterior motives when his phone rang again; this time it was Mans.

He pressed the answer button, and Mans's steady yet urgent voice came through: "Principal, just now Lu Mingfei...

After briefly and concisely reporting the events of the night to Angers, Professor Mans spoke with a complex tone, it was hard to tell whether it was lingering fear or relief:

"No wonder when the head of the Chen family contacted me before, wanting me to persuade Nuonuo to return the key, you told me not to interfere in the Chen family's affairs."

Now it seems you were quite prescient, knowing that the Chen family's affairs were far too complex and murky.

Angers readily accepted the compliment, although at the time it was more of an intuitive feeling based on experience and a superficial understanding of Lu Mingfei.

"So, what do you think Kassel College should do next?"

Angers himself would have preferred to ignore everyone else, but since the Chen family and the Secret Service had always cooperated fairly well, and they had also maintained business dealings with Professor Mans's family, he wanted to hear his subordinate's opinion.

Mans was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone, clearly thinking rapidly.

His private relationship with the head of the Chen family was indeed acceptable, and his family was also closely related to the Chen family. However, on matters of principle, he could distinguish between what was important and what was not.

"Principal, the core mission of Kassel College is to slay dragons and maintain the balance and safety between hybrids and the human world."

The Chen family has crossed the line. I believe the academy must sever ties with them, and if necessary, even uncover their other Dragon Blood experimental bases!

Although there is no substantial evidence to prove that those research institutes are backed by the Chen family, everyone is not stupid. The Chen family's chief steward has already been sent out, so what are they pretending for?

“That’s the principle.” A hint of appreciation flashed in Angers’ eyes. “But Mans, you need to understand that this is a power reshuffling within the Eastern mixed-race population.”

The Zhou family has clearly sided with Lu Mingfei and has taken over the scene before we have.

As outsiders, Kassel College's intervention is neither legitimate nor justified, and may even cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

"What do you mean?"

“Let the branch participate under the guise of an independent investigation.” Angers scrolled through the shocking photos with his mouse. “As for the reason, say it’s to investigate a criminal organization that endangers public safety and illegally conducts dragon blood biological experiments.”

After all, handling matters related to dragons has always been one of Kassel College's strengths.

Of course, this is just what is said on the surface.

Intelligent people can naturally understand the attitude represented by Kassel College's move.

"Understood!" Professor Mans relayed Angers' meaning directly to him after he hung up the phone.

The branch manager nodded slightly: "Just as I thought! At a time like this, we must make our stance clear!"

The fact that the Chen family caused such a huge incident in the area he was in charge of, and that he had failed to notice it beforehand, is a serious dereliction of duty. The negative impact is roughly equivalent to a dragon king sneaking into the world-famous dragon-slaying arsenal, Kassel College.

Now that the Chen family has revealed their true colors, if they do nothing, Kassel College's reputation will be damaged.

Of course, it doesn't matter if the headquarters' reputation is damaged, but their branch cannot be looked down upon.

So that the mixed-race families who already look down on them won't look down on them in the future.

He immediately picked up the phone and called the Zhou family's former representative in Beijing, but the latter said that the person in charge of matters in Beijing now was Zhou Minhao, who had saved Mans and the others in Shancheng.

After several transfers, the call finally reached Zhou Minhao, who was frantically coordinating manpower to deal with the mess at the two research institutes and also had to arrange Isabella's whereabouts.

"Hello Mr. Zhou, I am Ye Liangchen, the head of the China branch of Kassel College." The branch head's tone was warm but with just the right amount of apology. "Please allow me, on behalf of myself and the branch, to express our sincerest gratitude for your righteous act of saving my men in Shancheng!"

Zhou Minhao hated this kind of bureaucratic talk the most. Hearing this, he just gave a perfunctory "hmm" twice, glancing at the golden-haired beauty next to him out of the corner of his eye.

Lu Mingfei returned, but he didn't forget to give Isabella to him, asking him to decide whether to send her to stay with Jiang Wanzhi or to Spain to reunite with her best friend.

The branch manager sensed the perfunctory tone in his voice and almost forgot that this man, in the secular world, was the young CEO of the Southern Company, not a person of officialdom, and couldn't appreciate such greasy manner. He decisively changed his tone, becoming sorrowful and indignant:
"I am very sorry for the illegal experimental base discovered in Beijing tonight."

It's my dereliction of duty that such a huge safety hazard existed in the area I was responsible for, and I was completely unaware of it before!
Our branch hopes to do our part to find the person behind this, make up for the previous oversight, and jointly maintain the safety and stability of the region! Although he tried very hard not to use official jargon, he inevitably became like a ( ) in this melting pot.

Zhou Minhao held the phone, his lips twitching slightly. What the hell was this idiot talking about?
Helping? Making up for oversights? That sounds so noble.

Whose connections enabled the people and equipment from Kassel College to enter the country smoothly, and even almost bring in the Moniach?
It was the Chen family who secretly intervened!
Now that the Chen family has just shown signs of death, you can't wait to jump out and distance yourselves, and even ask to assist in the investigation?

They really played their cards right, managing to clear themselves of any wrongdoing while still getting a piece of the pie, and at least gaining a reputation for having the right attitude.

He mentally cursed these foreigners, saying they were all scoundrels who turned on him faster than flipping through a book, complete ingrates.

But reason told him that, given Kassel College's consistent stance of slaying dragons, their actions were beyond reproach. They were not wrong in terms of right and wrong, and could even be considered politically correct.

“I appreciate Mr. Ye’s kindness.” Zhou Minhao’s tone was flat, revealing neither joy nor anger nor sarcasm. “However, I would like to confirm whether this is Principal Angers’s intention or your branch’s decision?”

This is a crucial question. If Angers directly authorized it, then the situation becomes one where a powerful figure of mixed European and American ancestry attempts to intervene in the internal affairs of the Eastern mixed-race community, which the Zhou family and other local aristocratic families would never agree to.

However, if the decision is made by the domestic branch based on its own responsibilities and bloodline identity, then there is much more room for maneuver, at least it is acceptable on the surface, since the staff of the branch are basically all Chinese.

The branch manager on the other end of the phone clearly understood the deeper meaning and immediately stated that it was a decision made by the entire branch as a whole, and that everyone is Chinese, and Chinese people do not lie to other Chinese people.

Zhou Minhao sneered inwardly. It sounded so convincing, but he didn't expose him. He made an excuse that the matter was of great importance and that he needed to consult with the head of the family before he could give a reply.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Minhao rubbed his temples, feeling that talking to this bureaucratic guy was more tiring than fighting a dragon servant.

He glanced at Isabella, who was sitting quietly not far away, sighed, and decided to send the foreign woman to keep Jiang Wanzhi company first, and then work on the rest all night.

Meanwhile, the heads of the other four mixed-race families in the capital who were authorized to host banquets for Lu Mingfei the next day also received word of the news through various channels.

"A swift and decisive move by Lu Ming—he truly intends to uproot the Chen family!"

"The Chen family is likely doomed this time. It's time for the Zhao family to speak up!"

"My previous decision was absolutely right! If I don't try to build connections and curry favor now, when will I ever get another chance?!"

"Someone, give me another gift for tomorrow." One of the family heads pondered how to leave the best impression on Lu Mingfei.

Suddenly remembering how much Lu Mingfei valued his red-haired girlfriend, he decided to prepare an extra generous gift, thinking that perhaps Lu Mingfei would bring his girlfriend along tomorrow.

Since ancient times, China has had a tradition of social interactions involving wives.

Unfortunately, none of his younger relatives or nephews were around the same age as Lu Mingfei, nor were they talented enough to enjoy games, nor did any of them have a one-sided love affair that led to marriage. Otherwise, we could have talked about it more.

The four family heads each had their own thoughts, unaware that Lu Mingfei, who would be attending the banquet the next day, would not be alone, and that after having morning tea with them, he would also be going to the Chen family for a feast.

Well, whether it's a banquet or a funeral feast depends on how much the Chen family's thinking changes.

……

"What are you looking at so intently?"

The bathroom door was opened, and steam filled the air, carrying the sweet scent of shower gel.

Xia Mi, dressed in light blue cartoon pajamas, her wet hair draped over her shoulders, and holding a long white towel, walked out while rubbing her hair. She asked Chu Zihang, who was sitting on the chair by the bed playing on his phone, with curiosity.

Both her tone and posture were so natural, as if she were questioning her husband about his reading the newspaper late at night.

Upon hearing this, Chu Zihang instinctively wanted to turn his phone over to show her.

But before he could make a move, Xia Mi had already hopped barefoot onto the soft bed like a fairy, crawling on her knees to get behind him.

Instead of sitting next to him, she knelt down on the bed behind him, leaned forward slightly, and gently rested her chin on his shoulder.

The damp ends of her hair brushed against his neck, feeling a little cool and a little itchy.

"That Lu Mingfei guy, he really gets itchy if he doesn't cause trouble every day, he's completely different from before." Xia Mi muttered, quickly reading through the information on the current page, then stretched out her fair arm and gently slid her slender index finger across the screen.

The action was quite ambiguous, with their upper bodies almost completely touching. Although Chu Zihang couldn't feel the soft touch due to the size difference, the girl's close proximity to his back and shoulder sent waves of her delicate fragrance straight to his nose and heart.

Chu Zihang's body stiffened almost imperceptibly for a moment.

He was used to precisely controlling his body and emotions, but when faced with Xia Mi's unconventional yet irresistibly intimate nature, his powerful self-control system always seemed to experience some inexplicable fluctuations.

In layman's terms, this means there is a risk of CPU overload.

If the numbers aren't enough, make up for it with skill! Teacher Daiya is so good at this!
Chu Zihang wanted to tell her to dry her hair first, or to sit down properly, but before he could finish speaking, the girl behind him suddenly turned her head, her soft lips almost touching his earlobe, and softly asked in a whispered, mischievous, and ambiguous tone:

"Chu, your heart seems to be beating faster. Are you thinking about something impolite?"

Chu Zihang was silent for two seconds, then nodded slightly: "I was thinking that I should act with Lu Mingfei tonight."

Xia Mi narrowed her eyes slightly. What could this guy do if he went to the research institute with Lu Mingfei? Of course, he would kill people.

Is that polite? It's definitely very impolite!
But is this what I want to hear?
I just came out of the bath, smelling wonderful and with my hair still wet. You've been fooling around with Lu Mingfei for so long, how come you haven't learned even a tenth of his skills in charming girls?
I deliberately placed the hairdryer on the bedside table before I took a shower. Shouldn't you have offered to help me dry my hair? Why did you think of not going with Lu Mingfei to kill people?!

Surrounded by fragrance, her soft, delicate body recoiled, and Xia Mi kicked the back of the chair. Her slender, long leg unleashed a precise and powerful force, sending Chu Zihang flying, chair and all.

"Then go sleep with your junior brother Lu!"

Chu Zihang felt a tremendous force strike him. Although he felt no pain or injury, his body flew out uncontrollably and landed at the door of the room.

After regaining his balance, he glanced back at Xia Mi, who was turning her back to him and fuming, but ultimately did not reach out to open the door.

A powerful intuition told him that stepping out of this door would mean being targeted by some terrifying entity.

So he went back the way he came, picked up the hairdryer, and came up behind her:

"Wet hair makes you more susceptible to catching a cold. Let me dry your hair before you leave."

Upon hearing this, Xia Mi's lips curled slightly, and she quickly suppressed her anger, letting out a soft "humph" as a sign of approval.
