I Can Infinitely Synthesize Transcendent Genes

…

Just then, his grandparents had been attacked on their way home.

Unexpectedly, Brother Bi and Zhou Ye were nearby at the time, arriving just in time to help. Although they didn’t manage to catch the attacker, the elders were not harmed.

Pei Jinye watched this scene “expressionlessly.”

He slowly stood up.

Then disappeared from where he was.

As for protecting his grandparents, he had never shelved it to the back of his mind.

Not being able to predict the mysterious assailant’s attack was unfortunate.

The only thing to be grateful for was that his grandparents had already awakened their Transcendence and had always been practicing the techniques he had taught them. Otherwise, tonight’s event would have been difficult to predict.

…

At the very same time Brother Bi and Zhou Ye were personally escorting Pei Jinye’s parents home, the fleeing assassin had already reached a deserted forest trail and was running westward along a stream.

After pulling down his mask, his face twisted in pain.

He had never imagined that members of the Investigation Team would be nearby. He took a shot in the back that nearly struck his heart…

But what shocked him even more was, were that couple Transcendents?

It seemed like his mind fuzzed for a moment when they struck, but he wasn’t sure if it was just a lapse in concentration, followed by the old man punching him in the jaw.

“Chaotically!”

Clutching his already bruising jaw, the man reached under a tree by the stream and dug out a plastic bag, from which he took out a mobile phone.

The phone rang several times, unfortunately without the other side picking up.

“Damn it!” the man cursed softly, then suddenly stopped, holding a dagger in his other hand while warily hiding behind the tree and peering out cautiously.

However, there was nothing unusual in the dark forest path.

Just as the man let out a sigh of relief, a sudden force struck him from behind. His face twisted in terror as the darkness behind him yawned open like a great maw of a flood beast, and before he could struggle, he was yanked in.

“Slara!”

A sharp sound of soles scraping harshly against gravel rang out for a split second, then abruptly ceased.

The entire woodland returned to silence once more.

…

A minute later.

Pei Jinye slowly opened his eyes.

He frowned slightly.

He picked up the mobile phone that had fallen to the ground.

It contained only one contact.

He initiated the Network Invasion.

Pei Jinye quickly discovered it was a burner phone.

The person had abandoned it ten minutes earlier.

It was likely that it was the same group, or even the same person, behind Lin Xinorth’s previous contacts.

“Is he trying to force me to reveal myself?”

“No, or more accurately, to confirm whether I’m really dead…”

Pei Jinye pondered briefly.

Soon after.

The man posing as the assassin, conjured by Pei Jinye, encountered the Investigation Team’s dispatched personnel, and a firefight ensued… Ten minutes later, someone found the assassin at the edge of the forest, dead from excessive blood loss.

…

That night.

At home.

Brother Bi’s reaction to the phone call was a sharp jerk, “Found him? How could that be… Alright, I got it, Zhou Ye and I will head back shortly.”

Zhou Ye asked with suspicion, “What’s wrong?”

At that moment, Father Pei poured them both a cup of water and also looked up at Brother Bi.

Brother Bi, his brows tightly furrowed, said, “They’ve found the person who attacked Uncle Pei tonight…”

Zhou Ye cut him off with urgency, “Where is he? Was he interrogated? Doesn’t seem like that kid was a newbie to me.”

“Dead,” Brother Bi replied with a heavy sigh.

“Dead? I—” Zhou Ye almost cursed, but upon seeing Father Pei nearby, he swallowed his words and continued with dissatisfaction, “How did he die?”

“They say he was found in Yunshan, fought with our people… bled out and died, and now his body has been taken back to base for autopsy,” explained Brother Bi, sharing what he knew.

Zhou Ye lamented, then looked at Father Pei, “Uncle, have you and Aunt had any conflicts with anyone recently? In business or personal affairs?”

“Not that I can recall… We haven’t been to the store much recently, just went there on a whim today, and I didn’t expect such an incident to occur,” Father Pei responded with bafflement.

He didn’t mention that they had been cultivating recently, which was why they were rarely at the store.

Brother Bi and Zhou Ye were also perplexed.

But seeing that it was getting late, the two did not stay long and specially called a Confidential Clerk from the Investigation Team, regardless of whether Pei Jinye’s case had been confirmed. After all, he was considered a special advisor with no minor standing.

Just before leaving,

Father Pei suddenly said in a hushed voice, “Little Zhou… Has something happened to Jinye?”

With that question,

Zhou Ye’s expression shifted slightly, and he lifted his head to look at Brother Bi.

Brother Bi, without changing his demeanor, said, “Jinye is very capable, so he often carries out special missions. We’re not high enough in rank to know much about his situation, but since we’re all on the same team, he often tells us to come by and look after things when we’re free. If there’s anything you need, just say the word, don’t be shy.”
