After a while, the boss came to the front desk. When he saw the two men, he said respectfully, "Did you two reserve the private room for 3:30?"

"Yes."

"I've reserved a top-tier private room."

Upon hearing this, the boss understood immediately and enthusiastically greeted the two people as they walked upstairs: "Okay, the private room is ready for you, just follow me."

The two men nodded, then walked up the stairs. After a while, they arrived in front of a private room.

The man in the mask glanced at the other man, who nodded and stood at the door, while the man in the mask pushed the door open and walked in.

In the large private room, a copper hot pot was already boiling. Next to the small round table sat a woman in white. When she saw the man come in, she immediately said with a smile, "Come and try it. The mutton here is my favorite."

The masked man heard this and then sat down opposite the woman: "Madam, you are actually interested in eating hot pot."

Jiang Li smiled and put a piece of mutton into her mouth.

"You know, I was so busy recently that I didn't even get any sleep. Now that I finally have some free time, can't you let me have some hot pot?"

Upon hearing this, the masked man immediately chuckled, then took off his mask, picked up a piece of mutton with chopsticks, put it in the sauce, and chewed it slowly.

The two were silent for a long time, until Jiang Li felt thirsty. When she raised her head to drink water, she happened to glance at the man opposite her. Then she said in surprise: "Mr. Mu, your maintenance skills are really good. After so many years, you still look like a 30-year-old boy."

"When you go out with your son, do people think you are brothers?"

"I spend tens of millions every year on maintenance. How can I compare to someone like my wife who fights and kills all the time..."

The person sitting opposite Jiang Li was Mu Aotian.

Jiang Li took a sip of water, then suddenly said with emotion: "This world is really amazing. I never thought that your daughter and my son would be able to be together."

"What do you think? Can we be considered as a family meeting today?"

When Mu Aotian heard this, he immediately laughed: "My daughter is lucky to be able to marry Su Hong."

"However, this isn't a meeting between in-laws. Our identities are different today. You're not Su Hong's mother, and I'm not Mu Siyu's father. Now you're the high and mighty Madam Tian Dao, and I'm just your subordinate."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Jiang Li smiled brightly, "Okay, okay, let's meet formally again after this matter is completely over."

"Are you done eating?"

After he finished speaking, Mu Aotian put down his chopsticks and glanced at Jiang Li with a resentful look on his face: "Madam, you are still as impatient as before. I haven't finished eating yet."

"So you're ordering me around after you finish eating?"

"Didn't you just say I was the superior Madam Tian Dao? If you're speaking to me as Mu Siyu's father, I'll let you continue eating. If you're speaking as my subordinate, then please put down your chopsticks."

Jiang Li raised her head and looked at Mu Aotian with a hint of arrogance.

Mu Aotian curled his lips when he heard this and put down his chopsticks directly: "Okay, you are the boss, you have the final say."

Having said that, Mu Aotian went straight to the point: "Do you remember what I took out when I entered the sandy ruins last time?"

"know."

Jiang Li nodded. "I remember that time it was Tingyu who ordered you to take it out from the sandy ruins, right?"

"That's right. I'm General Yin's man, and the Wei family is General Long's man. In fact, they both gave orders to us, but I won and the Wei family lost."

"Don't think of it as a contest between me and the Wei family. It's actually a contest between General Long and General Yin."

"And the thing I took out is very likely related to genome destruction."

"It's not just us. Tingyu is also developing an antidote. What they created is too terrifying. Maybe they are a little scared..."

Listening to Mu Aotian's words, Jiang Li fell into deep thought.

"You mean, Tingyu also wants to develop an antidote?"

"Then what is their purpose in doing this? Don't they want to use the potion to control the whole world?"

Mu Aotian shook his head: "I don't know yet. I can't get into Tingyu's core, and they are already suspicious."

"Suspicion? They know about all your hard work over the years?"

After hearing this, Mu Aotian shook his head: "That's not the case, aren't you surprised?"

"Why did your work go so smoothly this time? Why were you able to remove so many cancers?"

"My guess is that they probably did it on purpose."

"on purpose?"

Jiang Li's eyes widened. "How can you say that?"

"Did you know that a gecko can break its tail?"

After she finished speaking, Jiang Li suddenly frowned. It was almost the same as what Mu Aotian said. This time their progress was too smooth, so smooth that she was ecstatic.

But thinking back, how could they have revealed so many flaws?

I have been fighting with Tingyu for so many years, when have they become so passive? The key is... they have not resisted at all until now.

Mu Aotian's words enlightened Jiang Li, but soon, Jiang Li became confused again: "But why did they do this?"

Mu Aotian responded seriously: "According to my guess, there may be two aspects."

"First, as I just said, they have realized that there is a mole."

"Second, they want to blind you so that their truly important things can be preserved."

Listening to Mu Aotian's explanation, Jiang Li frowned and nodded: "I'm afraid you guessed right."

"They've infiltrated Dragon City for so many years. They must have realized that we were infiltrating it as well. But how could they suspect you? You clearly didn't do anything!"

Mu Aotian's eyes gleamed: "They are waiting for me to make a choice."

"If I make the wrong choice, they'll probably eat me till not even a bone is left."

"What choice?"

"I once told Chen Nian that I would blame the Shen family for the laboratory incident. I also told Chen Nian that my biggest enemy now is the Xu family."

"But not long after, both families disappeared. They were waiting to see what I should do next..."

"How do they know what you'll do?"

Mu Aotian's explanation left Jiang Li confused.

But the next moment, she suddenly reacted and covered her mouth: "You mean, Chen Nian!"

Mu Aotian nodded in understanding.
