“What’s going on? When did this happen? I need to call Fei!” Xiao Yefeng exclaimed as he pulled out his phone, realizing that this situation involved the Military. Although he held a position within the Military, he still needed Mo Fei's current influence.
At that moment, Liu Yiyi grabbed Xiao Yefeng's hand and said, “Brother Feng, it’s no use. Fei has already helped us. If it weren’t for his guarantee, it wouldn’t just be Yiyi who was taken away; their entire family would likely be arrested!”
“How could this happen? Everything was fine just a few days ago! What about Old Master Mei? What about Uncle and Second Uncle?” Xiao Yefeng asked anxiously.
Just then, Liu Qing wearily rubbed his temples and said, “The Mei Family is now completely under Military surveillance. This incident originated with them, and it was our two families working together that got us into this mess. The Liu Mei Pharmaceuticals that the Mei Family managed is at the center of it all. If we hadn’t intervened from the beginning, the Liu Family would also be facing strict scrutiny from the Military right now!”
“How did things escalate to this point? What kind of forbidden drug are we talking about?” Xiao Yefeng wondered aloud, shocked that while the world of Extraordinary Persons was on the brink of upheaval, ordinary people were also facing crises. Was Earth really going to struggle through this?
“Do you remember that incident we went through together? I felt like that drug was familiar!” Liu Yiyi said.
“Are you talking about the Divine Elixir?” Xiao Yefeng asked, puzzled.
Liu Yiyi nodded and replied, “Yes, that’s it! After you left last time, I went to see Mei Mo'er. I found out that the Mei Family was in chaos. Uncle Mei had gone missing, and all his underworld dealings were handed over to Xue Lei. Uncle Mei looked like a shell of himself, and Old Master Mei has become senile! Mei Mo'er and Nangong Yu have been busy handling everything at home. They should have asked for my help, but since these matters are family affairs for the Mei Family, they haven’t spoken to me.”
“Divine Elixir? Why would the Mei Family allow someone from Perfect World to research such a drug?” Xiao Yefeng questioned, feeling uneasy. However, based on what Yiyi said, both Old Master Mei and Uncle Mei had already been taken by the Military for treatment. Though he felt somewhat relieved, Xiao Yefeng still planned to go check things out personally; after all, this matter involved Perfect World and was undoubtedly serious.
As for Uncle Mei’s disappearance, Xiao Yefeng could only contact a friend from his mercenary days to investigate the situation. This person had connections that surpassed both legal and illegal circles.
Thus, Xiao Yefeng drove Liu Yiyi in a Land Behemoth straight towards the Mei Family. Just as they left the Liu Family compound, a drone in the distance focused its camera on them.
“Commander! Major Xiao is heading to the Mei Family with Liu Yiyi. It seems he wants to meet with the first-degree criminal Mei Mo'er. Should we intercept?” a voice came from inside a vehicle outside the Mei Family estate.
Inside the vehicle, a man stood up and spoke into his headset: “Intercept? Are you kidding? Who can stop Major Xiao? Besides a few veterans at headquarters, no one can hold him back. Major Xiao is good friends with Mei Mo'er; his fiancée is also close friends with her. Now that Major Xiao has just returned and learned about the situation with the Mei Family, of course he wants to offer his condolences—don’t interfere!”
After finishing his statement, the man pinched his nose and thought to himself: ‘I hope Major Xiao doesn’t make things difficult for me! But given our previous cooperation, I doubt he will.’ With that thought in mind, he scratched his head and got out of the car.
This man was Lin Mighty Tiger, who had collaborated with Xiao Yefeng when he first joined the Metaphysics Society. At that moment, Lin Mighty Tiger realized why so many people were assigned to keep watch over the Mei Family; they must have anticipated Major Xiao's arrival!
As their vehicle sped along, Xiao Yefeng's mind was filled with everything that had happened recently. Chaos was truly beginning to unfold on Earth—was this really Perfect World’s objective? Were all those past civilizations doomed to face such turmoil in these times?
Driving through the bustling streets during rush hour, Xiao Yefeng observed countless men and women either walking or riding bikes. He couldn't help but wonder about the significance of the salaries they worked so hard for at the end of the month. Was the suppression from the Low-Level Plane on the Low-Level Dimension truly that strong? Did they have no hope of resistance?
Lost in thought, he soon spotted the Mei Family Old Residence ahead. Over the years, Xiao Yefeng had visited the Mei Family numerous times, but it had been nearly a year since his last visit. His connection to them had mostly come through Mei Mo'er.
As he entered the Mei Family grounds, Xiao Yefeng sensed an unusual atmosphere. Just after stepping out of his car, he noticed at least seven vehicles and over thirty individuals covertly observing the area. Glancing at a man leaning against a car door who was watching him, Xiao Yefeng smiled and approached, saying, "Brother Lin! Long time no see!"
Lin Mighty Tiger was genuinely taken aback by the greeting. He quickly stepped forward to shake Xiao Yefeng's hand and said, "Major Xiao, you flatter me. If it weren't for your intervention back then, I might have..."
"Let's not dwell on the past. Why has the military placed restrictions on the Mei Family?" Xiao Yefeng inquired.
"Well, Major Xiao, you know how it is. I won't hide it from you; the Mei Family is the largest supplier of Divine Elixirs. To be honest, if it weren't for Old Master Mei's influence, I suspect that members of the Mei Family wouldn't just be under house arrest; they would be imprisoned!" Lin Mighty Tiger scratched his head as he spoke.
Hearing this made Xiao Yefeng frown. He had ways to take everyone from the Mei Family away, but in this era, brute force was ineffective. While he was powerful, did he really want to hide these people away for a lifetime? With internal strife and external threats looming—especially with issues arising in the Extraordinary Person circle—the world for ordinary people was also unstable. Xiao Yefeng truly didn't know what to do.
Noticing Xiao Yefeng's troubled expression, Lin Mighty Tiger quickly reassured him, "Don't worry, Major Xiao. The Mei Family members are quite free; they just can't leave the country."
Xiao Yefeng chuckled lightly and shook his head. "That's not what I meant. Don't worry; I still trust the military. For now, I'll go in with Yiyi to check on Mei Mo'er. That shouldn't violate any regulations, right?"
"Of course! Please come in, Major Xiao!" Lin Mighty Tiger gestured for them to enter as Xiao Yefeng took Liu Yiyi's hand and walked into the Mei Family Old Residence.
As he watched them disappear inside, Lin Mighty Tiger wiped sweat from his forehead. Although Xiao Yefeng was friendly, his strength had surged dramatically over the years. Despite their casual conversation, there was an underlying fear among those present; after all, strength remained paramount. If Xiao Yefeng were displeased with their surveillance of the Mei Family, there would be nothing they could do.
"Brother Lin! Headquarters is calling!" a messenger rushed over.
"Hello! This is Lin Mighty Tiger! Yes! Major Xiao has entered! Alright! I understand! I'll relay your message shortly!" After exchanging a few words on the phone, Lin Mighty Tiger handed it back to the messenger and said, "Tell our lookout brothers to return; Bright Sentinel can send one group back as well."
With military orders issued like a mountain's weight, those covertly monitoring quietly withdrew while Lin Mighty Tiger stood by his car waiting for Xiao Yefeng to emerge. He had just received a directive from the Supreme Commander.
Inside the Mei Family residence, as Xiao Yefeng felt those watching him begin to disperse, he found it odd. At that moment, he was greeted by a visibly ill Mei Mo'er and her slightly fatigued husband Nangong Yu.
"Brother Xiao! Sister Yi Yi! You’ve come!" Mei Mo'er’s voice lacked its usual cheerfulness and carried a hint of resignation.
Nangong Yu could only respond with a smile; their situation was dire as well. Compared to the Mei Family’s troubles, Nangong Yu's father—the head of the Nangong Family—had already been taken away. The Nangong Family was teetering on the brink of disaster.
The four of them sat down, and Xiao Yefeng asked, "What happened? Why is there such a problem?"
"Brother Xiao, it's my brother!" Mei Mo'er said, her pale face filled with helplessness.
"Yao Wei?" Xiao Yefeng inquired.
"Yes! Yao Wei started collaborating with the Hua Family on researching forbidden drugs for some time now. Relying on our father's trust in him, he created two sets of false accounts. Because he had always been trustworthy, our father didn't investigate too deeply. After I took over the Mei Family, my brother completely changed. By the time I discovered discrepancies in his accounts, it was already too late." Mei Mo'er covered her face and cried, while Liu Yiyi could only hold her and comfort her.
At that moment, Xiao Yefeng exchanged glances with Nangong Yu. After taking a deep breath, Xiao Yefeng said, "It really is him. When Yiyi and I discussed this matter earlier, I suspected it would be Yao Wei's doing. I didn't expect it to be even more serious than I imagined. Don't worry, the Mei Family will be fine. I've already arranged for someone to check on Uncle Mei's condition. Tomorrow, I'll go visit Old Master Mei and Uncle Mei in person. Yu! Since your pharmaceutical company has produced the Divine Elixir, do you have the formula?"
Hearing Xiao Yefeng's words, Nangong Yu and Mei Mo'er shook their heads. At that moment, Nangong Yu said, "Brother Xiao! It's strange; after this incident occurred, all the personnel responsible for the research died mysteriously, and the remaining drug solution has been destroyed. There is not a single usable piece of data left. The company's main server was destroyed, and all documents were burned."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yefeng's furrowed brows relaxed instead. He replied, "In that case, there's even less to worry about; this is the method of Perfect World."
The group chatted for a while longer until it gradually grew dark. The atmosphere in the Mei Family was heavy with despair. Xiao Yefeng suggested they all go out for dinner together, so the four of them left the Mei Family Old Residence. At that moment, Lin Mighty Tiger approached them after waiting for a long time.
Seeing Lin Mighty Tiger's actions made Xiao Yefeng frown as he thought to himself: Can’t I guarantee that Mei Mo'er and the others won’t escape?
Lin Mighty Tiger realized that his actions might be misunderstood by Xiao Yefeng and the others. So before reaching Xiao Yefeng, he said, "Major Xiao, the Commander has a message for you!"
