"Oh? General? Which General?" Ye Hao paused and asked.

"General is the top leader of our regional laboratory. He has hundreds of listed companies in the Huaxia region, all legitimate, but they share the same owner, our General. The General is the one pulling the strings behind the scenes, controlling these hundreds of companies to accumulate wealth extravagantly. I don't know why he wants to hoard wealth so much. I only know that despite accumulating so much money, the organization's laboratory is very backward, often unable to produce effective resources to research useful things. Many strange and bizarre things are told to us by the General to just research without asking too many questions." Falcon's teeth were chattering; he didn't know why, but every time he mentioned the General, his body would involuntarily tremble.

"Have you heard of Lin Tian?" Ye Hao randomly asked.

"I have, our target is his daughter." Falcon dared not hide the truth any longer; he told everything he knew.

"Why do you have information about Lin Tian's daughter?" Ye Hao wanted to root out the spies in Peng City, otherwise, no matter how Lin Tian changed Lin Ruyu's identity, they could easily acquire it.

"I don't know, this is the information given to us by the General. We just need to complete the task; the General never tells us anything else." Falcon said a bit apprehensively, fearing that Ye Hao might punish him for saying he didn't know.

"How old is your General, what does he look like?" Ye Hao was very curious about who this General was, someone with such strong hidden forces who could also openly control hundreds of listed companies.

Even though Falcon was puzzled about why Ye Hao asked this, he still described the General, and Ye Hao carefully noted it down.

"Alright, now tell me what exactly your laboratory is researching!" After noting the General's general profile, Ye Hao didn't intend to pursue it further. After all, in a vast sea of people, there were too many who looked like that, too many to count.

"Researching some potions. We don't know what these potions are used for, only that when a person soaks in them, their skin changes color, but their strength becomes roughly equivalent to a second stage of National Martial Arts."

"What color does it turn, and how long does it soak?" Ye Hao thought that they might be making synthetic people. Synthetic people only existed on TV on Earth; they couldn't possibly have such technology unless they obtained a ring similar to his.

"Green, the long soak could be a year, the shortest would be five to six months."

"Do those who come out of the soak have any distinguishing features?" The more Ye Hao listened, the more it seemed like synthetic people, but he couldn't believe it. Could it be there were others in the world like him, obtaining things from outer space?

"Those who come out have somewhat less lively eyes and slower speed, but their muscles are even more explosive. When I just broke through the fourth stage of National Martial Arts, I once fought a green-soaked person. His strength was only at the second stage, but it was as if he was unaware of pain. No matter how hard I hit, he could take it, but one punch from him and it wasn't as easy for me. Generally, those who came out after soaking for a year reached the third stage. At that time, I fought that soaked person for over an hour; he was third stage, I was fourth, but I almost got killed by him." Falcon shuddered at the thought, realizing that those green-soaked people were not simple.

"Oh? A third stage can hold its own against a fourth?" Ye Hao paused, then turned to Qianqian in space and asked, "Qianqian, can you tell what he's describing?"

"It sounds a bit like a green synthetic giant. These giants mainly stimulate their body cells with potion, but the stimulated cells no longer wither. That is, when he fights someone, he is conscious, but he no longer feels pain when hit."

"Is it the same as our eighth-generation system's green synthetic giant?" What concerned Ye Hao was that if others possessed higher technology than what he had, he would have to remain humble.

"No, it's different. The eighth-generation system's synthetic giant is similar to a person, with cells that can undergo metabolism, and they'll feel some pain when hit, almost the same as a normal person. The only difference is that his semen can't become normal sperm; his semen will become the seed of a synthetic giant, using his normal semen to activate his body's potential to reach a powerful state." Qianqian blushed a bit when she said the word semen.

"How long does the eighth-generation system's synthetic giant need to soak to gain power?" Ye Hao curiously asked.

"Based on individual physique, if the person soaking is at the first stage of National Martial Arts, they'll reach the fourth stage after soaking. If they're at the third stage, they'll come out around the fifth stage, needing only half a year of soaking. However, if their power is very high, the soaking would need to be longer."

Ye Hao nodded. In the past, he only understood weaponry, flight, and artillery, but he hadn't much knowledge about biotechnology.

"Does your laboratory research anything other than this?" After learning more, Ye Hao asked Falcon again.

"Yes... reinforced glass, even with tens of millions of tons of water pressure, it remains extremely strong underwater. Also, a new type of alloy made from a mineral secretly shipped from Huaxia. It contains a resource called the Element of Steel. We don't know the specific uses, only that the General says it's very valuable and we must be vigilant. Even if the entire laboratory is destroyed, we must not let the Element of Steel be harmed." Falcon began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Oh? Shipped from Huaxia? Give a more specific location."

"I do not..." Falcon wanted to say he didn't know, but seeing Ye Hao's cold gaze sweeping over him, he hurriedly corrected, "Changbai Mountain, Shandong Province."

"Hmph! If you lie again, I'll make your death quite unpleasant." Then, Ye Hao asked Falcon what the full name of their organization was.

After roughly half an hour of understanding, Ye Hao learned that the organization was called God, a foreign organization, but its people were spread worldwide, merely causing minor issues without bringing out the true God.

According to Falcon's speculation, in the vast nation of Huaxia, even central high levels might have members of the God underground influence, showcasing how far-reaching these people's hands were.

Ye Hao left the secret room with Falcon and then called Fang Ni. Since there was credit to be claimed, Ye Hao, naturally, wouldn't forget Fang Ni. At least letting Fang Ni climb to a high position would benefit Ye Hao later, so before Fang Ni became powerful, Ye Hao tried to give all the credit to her.

Anyway, when people ask at that time, he'll just say it was Fang Ni who provided him with the intel, and then he was able to capture those people.

By then, Fang Ni will take the credit, and Ye Hao will just enjoy the soup.

When all was settled, Ye Hao's private phone suddenly rang.

Seeing the international call, Ye Hao hung up without a second thought, but the phone rang again.

Helpless, Ye Hao pressed the answer button.

The call connected, but the other side didn't speak. Ye Hao waited for about ten seconds before hanging up since there was still silence.

A few minutes later, the phone rang again.

"Hello, who is it?" Ye Hao asked impatiently.

"Are you Ye Hao?" A deep and aged voice came from the other end of the line.

Ye Hao immediately recognized it as a voice changer and cursed into the phone, "Damn it, stop with the strange voice, turn off the changer or I'll hang up."

The person on the other end was silent for a moment before actually turning off the voice changer, humming coldly into the phone, "Ye Hao, is it?"

"Yeah, what do you want?" Ye Hao asked bluntly.

"I just wanted to tell you, the people who attacked your yard today were mine. Unfortunately, my people have tried once or twice to kill you but failed each time. I've had enough of you." The deep voice from the other side spoke angrily.

"Oh? So you're that General? Haha..." Ye Hao knew the person was trying to threaten him. In this situation, if you show any weakness, you've already lost. So Ye Hao laughed arrogantly.

"Seems like you got some skills, so what? I'm a General, and you've repeatedly foiled my plans. You can't possibly understand my fury, can you?" The voice from the other side sounded cold and sinister.

"Ruined your plans? You damn bastard, you keep sending people to bother me, disturbing my peace. Don't let me see you, or I'll kill you too." Ye Hao acted even more arrogantly. After saying this, Ye Hao hung up the phone.

The middle-aged man on the other end was silent for a while, his face gradually twitching, then he shouted loudly, "Ah! Ye Hao, you damned beast, I swear I won't be human if I don't kill you."

The man's roar echoed in the underground chamber, making the workers there dumbfounded, wondering if the boss was sick.

After Ye Hao hung up the phone, he was silent for a while. Lin Ruyu walked over concernedly and said to Ye Hao, "Take off your clothes, I'll help you apply the medicine."

These scars were naturally from when Ye Hao was using his body technique to dodge through the crowd and got slashed, but fortunately, they weren't fatal, just superficial wounds.

Seeing Lin Ruyu's bright, watery eyes looking at him, Ye Hao had no choice but to take off his clothes and lie on the sofa to let Lin Ruyu disinfect his wounds.

Meanwhile, he was thinking about how the General would deal with him next, or what methods would be used.

When Tan Ming returned, he left those two old men with Ye Hao. Ye Hao thought the villa didn't need people, so he asked Xue Zhaolong to bring those two old men to Heaven-Filling Heroic Spirit Island, which also served to guard against the people Li Yi had chosen from having ulterior motives, preventing them from doing anything he would regret.

"Whose call was that just now? You seemed pretty worried." Lin Ruyu asked as she wiped Ye Hao's body.

"Oh, it's nothing, just some kid from out of town, doesn't know his limits. Shout at him a couple of times, and he'll shut up." Ye Hao smiled and explained.

Lin Ruyu knew that wasn't true, only that Ye Hao didn't want to tell her to keep her from worrying.

It had been two days since Lin Ruyu's courtyard was attacked, and life was becoming ordinary again. But the brewing storm in this tranquility made Ye Hao feel more pressured.

When Ye Hao was in class, the phone rang again...(To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
