“Don’t tell Elder Deng about this for the time being. We’ll get the list ourselves. After we get it back, we’ll study it. It’s best to make a copy and keep it for backup. As for whether we should send it to Elder Deng, we’ll decide after we’ve seen it.” Elder Liu had the same concerns as Chen Meng’er.

“Okay.” Chen Meng’er nodded. “Grandpa, there’s one more thing. I didn’t dare to mention it to you over the phone.”

Previously, when they were in Japan, Chen Meng’er had only talked to Ah Biao and Yuwen Jing. However, the three of them had always been tight-lipped around other people. Every time Elder Liu called, Chen Meng’er had never mentioned it.

Elder Liu looked at Chen Meng’er’s serious expression and wondered what else was worth his precious granddaughter being so serious about. “What is it?”

Chen Meng’er organized her words a little and said, “Grandpa, you know that Dr. Li is being held in a military base. We were looking for Dr. Li and entered that military base. And in this military base, I accidentally found a laboratory. In this laboratory, I found many mice and reagents in glass bottles.”

As Chen Meng’er spoke, she stared at her grandfather without blinking, paying attention to the expression on his face.

As for Elder Liu, after listening to Chen Meng’er’s words, his face suddenly darkened. The anger in his eyes kept surging, but in the end, it was suppressed by him. “Meng’er, you’re saying that they used mice to extract reagents?”

“Yes, I saw it clearly from outside the door. The experimenters in white coats were extracting something from the rats’ bodies. Oh, right, I brought back their reagents and the blueprints with all kinds of formulas. You can take a look at them later.”

“Okay, you can give me the reagents and the blueprints later.” Elder Liu looked ahead and narrowed his eyes. Chen Meng’er looked at Elder Liu, who looked a little unfamiliar. His entire body was filled with a dangerous aura. Chen Meng’er felt that her grandfather, Elder Liu, must have known something or had some experience related to these reagents. Otherwise, he would not have shown such an expression.

Elder Liu had a heavy heart for the rest of the journey. He looked ahead, and it was unknown what he was thinking about. Meanwhile, Chen Meng’er sat quietly and did not dare to disturb her grandfather.

When they arrived at the Green Gang, Chen Meng’er handed the reagents and blueprints to her grandfather, Elder Liu. Of course, Chen Meng’er kept some in her space. She also wanted to test the composition of these reagents.

After Elder Liu took the reagents and blueprints from Chen Meng’er, he told Chen Meng’er that she was fully responsible for the matter of Dr. Li’s list and left in a hurry. Elder Liu did not say who he was in a hurry to find. Based on Chen Meng’er’s intuition, her grandfather was either looking for Yuwen Hou or Elder Deng.

Chen Meng’er, on the other hand, went to look for Yuwen Jing. The two of them agreed to go to the place that Dr. Li told them to get the list.

The address that Dr. Li gave them was in the suburbs of Beijing. Chen Meng’er had never been there before, not to mention Yuwen Jing, who had grown up in England.

The two of them were worried about others, so they did not ask the driver to send them off. Yuwen Jing drove the car directly. Chen Meng’er activated the navigation of her mutated brain and drove to the destination.

The further the car went, the more remote it became. Looking at the dilapidated house in front of them, Chen Meng’er did not have any reaction. She was no longer the Qu Meng’er from her previous life. She was the reborn Chen Meng’er. When she was reborn, the conditions of the Chen family were not even as good as what she saw. Yuwen Jing, on the other hand, was not used to the dilapidated house in front of him and the dirty and messy environment. Along the way, his eyebrows never relaxed.

However, Yuwen Jing’s obviously disgusted expression made Chen Meng’er’s mood exceptionally good.

“Ah, we’re here.” After the car drove past a small place that was dilapidated and looked like a thatched cottage, the mutated brain in Chen Meng’er’s mind reminded her that they had arrived at their destination.

Yuwen Jing stopped the car. Yuwen Jing looked at the small thatched cottage and asked Chen Meng’er in disbelief, “Meng’er, are you sure this is the right place?”

“It’s here, Yuwen. Get out of the car.” Chen Meng’er trusted this mutated brain of hers.

After the two of them got out of the car, Chen Meng’er walked up to the tightly shut door and knocked on it a few times. “Is anyone there?”

However, there was no response. Chen Meng’er looked at Yuwen Jing who was standing beside her and stretched out her hand to knock a few more times. “I’m here to look for Li Yuanyuan.”

After Chen Meng’er said this, there was finally some movement in the courtyard. The door opened with a creak. The sound of the door opening was somewhat ear-piercing, making people feel like there was something wrong with the door.

After the door opened, a hunchbacked old man appeared in front of Chen Meng’er and Yuwen Jing. The hunchbacked old man sized up Chen Meng’er and Yuwen Jing. Then, with a slightly hoarse voice, he asked, “Why are you looking for Li Yuanyuan?”

“I was asked by Li Yuanyuan’s father to come here to retrieve something.” Chen Meng’er said what Dr. Li had told her.

The hunchbacked old man listened to Chen Meng’er’s words and did not move. Instead, he looked Chen Meng’er up and down a few times before saying, “Wait here for a while. I’ll go get it.”

“Okay.”

The hunchbacked old man closed the door again. Chen Meng’er and Yuwen Jing stood at the door and waited. Fortunately, the hunchbacked old man did not let them wait long. After a while, he came out with a small notebook with a black cover. “Here, this is what you want. Take it.”

“Thank you.” Chen Meng’er thanked him when she reached out to take the list.

“There’s no need to thank me. I just want to ask, how is Dr. Li’s condition now?” The hunchbacked old man hesitated for a moment before asking. “Dr. Li is my savior. He saved my child’s life. So, I want to know his current condition.” The hunchbacked old man was afraid that Chen Meng’er and Yuwen Jing would think too much, so he quickly explained.

“He should be pretty okay.” Chen Meng’er gave a vague answer. Dr. Li’s current situation could not be considered the worst. At least, he was still alive.

“That’s good, that’s good.” After the hunchbacked old man heard Chen Meng’er’s words, he heaved a sigh of relief.

On the way back, Chen Meng’er held the notebook, she could not help but ask Yuwen Jing, “Yuwen, you said that Dr. Li is not an unpardonable person. At least he still has a conscience. Tell me, why did he choose this path? Why did he choose to betray his country and seek glory?”

“Perhaps the conditions that the enemy offered are really hard for him to resist.”
