Chapter 68 Anger.
Duke Leslie really wanted to stop it, but the people from the Genetic Research Institute did not give her a chance. During the time they were in the lounge, the people from the Genetic Research Institute had announced on behalf of Duke Leslie that the purpose of holding the banquet tonight was to celebrate Colonel Grace becoming a gene fusionist.
This news had been circulating long before, but many people didn't know that the person involved was the son of Duke Leslie.
So when everyone at the dinner learned that Grace was the male who had transformed from a "defective" male into a gene fusion, they all showed surprise.
When the waiter came to inform Duke Leslie about this, Duke Leslie finally realized the seriousness of the problem.
At this moment, she didn't even dare to look Duke Lu Xia in the eye.
It was Prince Li Mang who patted her shoulder and said, "Let's go and see what's going on first."
The reason why these people from the Genetic Research Institute did this was to frame Duke Leslie and make her have no choice but to agree to their demands.
This time they want to wage a war of public opinion.
Lu Xia turned to look at Grace: "You just stay here."
It is not convenient for Grace to appear at this time.
Grace naturally knew that Lu Xia was protecting him. While feeling touched, she was also worried about her: "It's okay with me. I'll stay with you."
"No, just stay here and do nothing. I want to see if these people from the genetic research institute really dare to snatch people from me!" Lu Xia lifted her skirt and followed Duke Leslie out of the lounge.
After watching them leave, Prince Li Mang looked at Grace who was standing there and said, "You have a very good mistress."
"Yes, Your Excellency, I think so too."
Prince Li Mang was not just talking. She had never seen a female who protected a male as much as Lu Xia. She believed that she would not be harsh on the males around her, but she could not protect them as attentively as Lu Xia.
To put it bluntly, she doesn't care whether the males live or die.
But it was obvious that Lu Xia cared a lot.
As soon as Duke Leslie and Lu Xia appeared in the banquet hall, they felt everyone's eyes looking at them.
The person from the Gene Research Institute, who was holding the microphone on the stage, smiled and said, "Now that Duke Leslie and Duke Lu Xia are here, can we ask the two Dukes what they think?"
The other person had a smile on his face, not thinking at all that it was impolite to spread such things without the permission of the host in such an occasion.
Duke Leslie has not yet figured out how to deal with this matter in a way that would save the face of the Leslie family and not damage the relationship with the Genetic Research Institute.
Compared to her concerns, Lu Xia didn't have so many thoughts. She walked up to the stage and reached out to grab the microphone from the other party: "Who allowed you to say these words here?" She asked with a cold tone, not giving anyone face just because there were many people present.
The person from the Genetic Research Institute froze for a moment, then smiled coyly and said, "We just wanted to share the good news with everyone, Lu Xia..."
"I know very well what your purpose is. You want to start a public opinion war with me, right? Well, then I hope that the past experimental procedures of your genetic research institute can withstand promotion. Otherwise, you will pay the price for what you did today." Lu Xia rarely gets angry, and there are not many things that can cause her emotional fluctuations.
But she was really disgusted by what the people at the Genetic Research Institute did time and again for their own selfish desires.
"Duke Lu Xia, what do you mean? Did you misunderstand us? We really..."
"Shut up. I know exactly what you're up to. The first time, you wanted me to agree to sign a voluntary research agreement with Grace, but I refused. So you went to Grace's direct supervisor, but unfortunately, he didn't agree either. So this time, you're targeting Duke Leslie, trying to use public opinion and morality to kidnap Grace. But have you ever thought about how you'd handle this if I disagreed?"
Lu Xia was completely unwilling to show any mercy and continued, "Let me ask you, what is the current situation of those who voluntarily signed the research agreement in the past? Are they still alive? Are they in good health? Have you made any compensation in the future? I want you to answer truthfully in front of these people. I will verify all the data you provide afterwards. Do you dare to say it? How many of your research results were achieved by stepping on the corpses of others? Don't you know?"
"I'm telling you, Grace became a gene fusionist due to an accident. If any of you dare to touch him, ask me first." Having said that, Lu Xia looked at the crowd below. "I am Duke Lu Xia, Grace is mine. I don't intend to speculate too much about your thoughts, but I hope you don't have any bad intentions. I don't want to make enemies with anyone, but I'm not afraid of making enemies with anyone. Today, Duke Leslie is holding this celebratory dinner to celebrate Grace becoming a gene fusionist. This is not a secret that needs to be concealed. We are willing to share our joy with everyone, but there is no need to use others to say it."
"People from the Genetic Research Institute can leave now."
Lu Xia's words made the atmosphere in the banquet hall dead silent. No one expected that Duke Lu Xia would do this for his husband.
Both the females and the males at the scene looked at Lu Xia with shock.
The people at the Genetic Research Institute never expected that a female, who always cared most about her appearance, could actually say such words in front of everyone.
For a moment, they had no idea what to do, and Duke Lu Xia laid all their thoughts out in the open without any scruples.
If they do something else, it is not difficult to imagine what Duke Lu Xia will do. As Duke Lu Xia just said, the past research of their genetic research institute is not entirely worth promoting.
So they didn't dare to confront Duke Lu Xia head-on.
She could only turn to Duke Leslie for help. After all, she was Grace's mother and had a certain say.
It turned out that Duke Leslie didn't even look at them and had obviously given up on them.
"Someone, send the people from the Gene Research Institute away."
As Duke Leslie finished speaking, the waiters serving in the banquet hall came forward and took away the people from the Genetic Research Institute.
At the same time, Duke Leslie said, "I'm very sorry for letting irrelevant people disturb today's dinner. I didn't expect the people from the Gene Research Institute to have such an intention. I was deceived. I thought they were sincerely sending their blessings. As a mother, I have seen how difficult it has been for Grace over the years. Now that he is feeling better, he has provoked these blood-sucking guys. My Duke Leslie Mansion will definitely stand with Duke Lu Xia!"
