Novel: After the Myth
Chapter 83: The Stray Dog, Ding Jie
In Chong Yan's office, Ding Jie's eyes were filled with unease.
"Sister Yan, Luohu City was almost taken over by gene beasts today. I want to go to Yanjing ahead of time."
"Why are you in such a hurry? Who knows you're here? The Selu Gene incident is long over. Even if you make a high-profile appearance after some time, nothing will happen," Chong Yan said indifferently.
"Sister Yan, I heard that little bastard Ding Xiaotu is very powerful now. Is that true?" Although Ding Jie had been hiding every day, he wasn't completely in the dark.
Chong Yan chuckled.
"So what if he's powerful? Do you think he can find his way here? The Gene Alliance is hunting him down. He can't even protect himself."
Before Chong Yan could finish her sentence, she saw Ding Jie suddenly stand up.
Just as she was about to ask, she sensed something and turned around to find the door had opened at some point.
Standing at the door was a young man in gray clothes, carrying a large bag on his back.
"Who let you come here?" Chong Yan barked sharply.
She thought it was a student's family member who had come looking for them.
But Ding Jie's eyes were filled with terror, and his body trembled slightly.
"Long time no see, heir of Baiyu Group," Ding Huan said as he stepped into the room and closed the door behind him.
"Ding Xiaotu, you... you..."
Ding Jie, who had always been the one to lecture Ding Xiaotu, now felt an inexplicable fear upon seeing him.
Logically, he should have the upper hand when facing Ding Xiaotu.
"So you're Ding Huan?" Chong Yan finally realized, looking at the man before her in shock.
She naturally knew that Ding Xiaotu was Ding Huan.
"That's right, I'm Ding Huan. A few months ago, I destroyed the Gene Alliance's base in Puhai. Everyone inside was killed by me. A few days ago, I didn't leave a single member of the Xi Dao Society in Luohu alive."
Ding Huan spoke with a smile, as if he were talking about something ordinary.
Even though she knew Ding Huan was trying to scare her with these stories, Chong Yan couldn't help but shiver.
She usually carried herself with an air of superiority, not even giving the principal any face.
But when it came to facing life and death, she panicked.
"Sort out what I want to know. I'll ask you later, or you know the consequences," Ding Huan said, staring at Chong Yan before slowly walking up to Ding Jie.
After giving Ding Jie a once-over, Ding Huan said, "What kind of beast are you? Not only do you not know gratitude, but you also harmed your savior."
Ding Huan knew very well that when Ding Baishan saved Ding Jie, Ding Jie was about to be taken for gene experiments.
When genes first became a thing, countless people were ruined by various gene experiments.
Ding Jie was just one of them.
"I don't know, I don't know anything..."
Ding Jie had already seen from various news reports that this Ding Xiaotu, now renamed Ding Huan, was very powerful.
Now, hearing Ding Huan say he had wiped out the Gene Alliance and the Xi Dao Society, his face turned pale with fear.
"You have three seconds. If you don't speak, you won't need to," Ding Huan said, not having the time to slowly interrogate Ding Jie.
"It was them, they made me harm my father..."
Ding Jie's voice trembled, and he even pointed at Chong Yan at the end.
"You have no right to call him father. Tell me, was it Selu Gene?" Ding Huan's tone became stern.
Ding Jie quickly said, "Yes, Professor Wen Yuanfu, who was close to my uncle, developed Selu Gene. Selu Gene requires a medicinal herb called mutated qima. Mutated qima is a medicinal herb exclusively managed by the Qin family in Yanjing, so my uncle took Professor Wen to the Qin family in Yanjing..."
He didn't dare to call him father anymore.
Only then did Ding Huan understand why Ding Baishan wanted to marry into the Qin family.
It was all because of Selu Gene.
Ding Baishan disappeared in Yanjing, Selu Gene later had issues, and then Jianyuan Gene, which had the same effect as Selu Gene, appeared.
Jianyuan Gene was jointly produced by Yongtang Biotechnology Co., Ltd. and Ocean Group.
The truth was becoming clearer.
"I stole the data on the Selu Gene serum, but this serum lacks the true gene chain fusion part. Chong Yan told me she brought the data on the gene chain fusion part. Later, I found out that this data was wrong."
Ding Jie's voice was filled with fear, worried that Ding Huan would kill him.
After saying this, Ding Jie saw Ding Huan's expression turn grim, so he quickly added, "The Kuiyuan serum given to my uncle was provided by Chong Yan."
"Kuiyuan serum?" Ding Huan frowned.
His father, Ding Baishan, was just an ordinary man.
Why would he need Kuiyuan serum?
"Yes, my uncle was an Xuan-level martial artist. They were worried he would resist, so they had me give him the Kuiyuan serum in advance. The serum would take effect two days later," Ding Jie didn't dare to hesitate.
Ding Huan was stunned.
Honestly, if Ding Jie hadn't said it today, he wouldn't have known that his father, Ding Baishan, was actually an Xuan-level martial artist.
No wonder he could build such a large business.
It turns out he wasn't simple either.
But if his father was an Xuan-level martial artist, why didn't he teach him personally and instead hired various martial arts teachers for him?
Seeing Ding Huan's dark expression, Ding Jie became even more afraid.
He feared Ding Huan would attack him at any moment and kept explaining,
"I really didn't do any of this. I didn't even want to steal Professor Wen's data. They forced me..."
From Ding Jie's expression, Ding Huan knew that Ding Jie probably couldn't provide any more information.
Ding Huan had no intention of keeping this scum alive.
Not to mention his father's affairs, just the fake Selu Gene this guy created had already killed countless innocent people.
He raised his hand and threw a fireball at Ding Jie.
The fireball engulfed Ding Jie, who immediately let out a piercing scream.
At this moment, he was filled with extreme fear.
It was true.
The Suoluo Oath was real.
Back then, Ding Baishan had taken him to the Suoluo Temple to swear an oath, making him promise to wholeheartedly assist Ding Huan.
If he ever harmed Ding Huan or betrayed him, he would be burned alive by fire.
Because of this oath, he didn't dare to kill Ding Huan.
But in the end, the oath still came true.
At this moment, Ding Jie, engulfed in flames, was filled with terror.
Unfortunately, it was too late for any regrets.
Chong Yan was so scared that her pants were soaked.
Despite her efforts to control herself, her legs couldn't stop trembling.
"Keeping Ding Jie around was probably to use him as a scapegoat, right? Tell me, where is my father? Who did it?" Ding Huan stared at Chong Yan, asking calmly.
"I don't know, I don't know anything. It has nothing to do with me," Chong Yan's spirit was on the verge of collapse.
"In that case, you're of no value," Ding Huan's tone remained calm.
"I only know that Datang Biotechnology was involved. Datang belongs to the Qiao family. I don't know anything else. I was ordered by the Qiao family to wait here for you to appear..."
Chong Yan's voice was filled with fear.
Feeling Ding Huan's cold killing intent, Chong Yan quickly added, "I heard Ding Baishan was rescued by someone, possibly related to the Suoluo Temple. That's all I know."
Ding Huan raised his hand and sent out a wind blade.
"You're of no value."
...
After leaving Luohu Shangwu University, Ding Huan wanted to visit the Suoluo Temple, but he knew it probably no longer existed.
With the outbreak of gene beasts, the city where the Suoluo Temple was located, Jinzhou, had been overrun by beasts years ago.
As for going to the Qiao family and Datang Biotechnology, he didn't have the time now.
With the appearance of a powerful beast capable of commanding global gene beasts, he needed to find a way to quickly improve his strength.
"Old Six, why are you here already? Didn't I tell you to help that big ape arrange its work?"
When Ding Huan returned to the entrance of Yujiang University, he found Old Six staring down Tan Bei and Fei Tongtong, with a few nervous security guards nearby.
The conflict between gene beasts and humans had reached an irreconcilable point.
Old Six daring to come to Yujiang University naturally put everyone on edge.
If there had been guns, someone would have already fired.
"Teacher Ding, is this your pet..."
Tan Bei suddenly realized.
Old Six rolled his eyes at Tan Bei, thinking, "You're the pet, your whole family are pets."
Ding Huan smiled and didn't explain.
"Since Old Six is here, let's go now."
Ding Huan hadn't expected Old Six to arrive so quickly.
He was sure Old Six hadn't completed the task he had assigned, but this wasn't the place to ask.
...
Ding Huan thought that with the beast tide, the high-speed train from Luohu to Puhai might have stopped running.
Even if it was running, there would be few passengers.
When Ding Huan arrived at the station, he realized how wrong he was.
The station was packed.
Not only was the waiting hall for the train to Puhai crowded, but all the waiting halls for trains heading to safe cities were full.
The beast tide in Luohu had a huge impact on everyone.
Those with connections didn't dare to stay in Luohu any longer, fearing a second wave of the beast tide would sweep through the city, so they were desperate to leave.
No one knew that Luohu City was now the safest city in the world.
Any beast trying to attack Luohu would have to pass through Qianluo Mountain.
As long as the Great Desolate Golden Ape on Qianluo Mountain didn't agree, Luohu City would remain as steady as Mount Tai.
The high-speed train from Luohu to Puhai had once been attacked by a devastating beast tide, during which the train was almost completely destroyed.
Even so, it couldn't stop the train from running between Luohu and Puhai.
Everyone knew that in this world, no matter where you were, even if you didn't take the train, you could still be swept up in a beast tide.
So why be afraid?
The larger the city, the better its defenses.
Living in a big city was safer than living in a small one.
Although the train was crowded, the journey was uneventful.
The train didn't stop along the way, and this time it only took eight hours to reach Puhai Station.
"Should we go to Haiyun Mutated Materials first?" Fei Tongtong asked as soon as they left the station.
"No, I'm short on time. Take me directly to the Beast King Society," Ding Huan had already made up his mind.
First, he would go to the Beast King Society to retrieve what belonged to him and, at the same time, save Mu Tingyun and Zhao Quan.
Second, he would gather information about the Gene Alliance.
If the Gene Alliance's innate experts were present, he would use sneak attacks.
If not, he would charge in directly.
After dealing with the Gene Alliance, he would take Old Six to the Kunlun Mountains.
"Alright," Fei Tongtong nodded excitedly, quickly driving her car from the station to take Ding Huan to the Beast King Society.
