Chapter 1130 - 1129: Meeting

Chapter 1130: Chapter 1129: Meeting

The first day’s meeting lasted an entire day and didn’t conclude until seven in the evening.

Ling Feng accompanied Yun Hanrui for a simple dinner, after which Yun Hanrui lay down on the big bed in the room. She draped her long legs over Ling Feng’s lap and said coquettishly, "Attending a meeting all day is more exhausting than shopping all day, my legs are sore, Ling Feng, give me a massage."

Ling Feng smiled slightly, his hands continuously kneading Yun Hanrui’s thighs, soothing her muscles.

"What was today’s meeting about? I saw that large global corporations and enterprises related to bioengineering had sent representatives, seems like quite a big deal!" Ling Feng asked curiously.

Mentioning this, a slight seriousness appeared on Yun Hanrui’s face: "Ling Feng... what do you think would happen to the world if one day human technology could control the direction of gene mutations?"

Ling Feng’s eyes narrowed: "What? What do you mean by that? Is this what the meeting is discussing?"

Yun Hanrui sighed and said: "Yes, I didn’t expect this to be the theme of the meeting! This world is colorful, every creature has its own unique abilities, which are the results of natural selection and evolution! And the genes of all living things on this planet can ultimately be traced back to the first life form on Earth, the first gene!"

"So, if we could control the direction of gene mutations, wouldn’t we be able to control the direction of biological evolution? Furthermore, wouldn’t it mean humans could possess the abilities of animals, like a gecko’s limb regeneration, a bat’s echolocation, a dolphin’s sonar system... would that then be an era of universal evolution?"

Ling Feng furrowed his brows: "This kind of argument has always existed, but who can truly control the direction of gene mutations? So far, gene mutations are nondirectional and tend to be harmful. Is the person who proposed this meeting topic out of their mind?"

Yun Hanrui’s words reminded Ling Feng of the inhuman gene experiments he had suffered at the Divine Gate!

Hearing the discontent in Ling Feng’s words, Yun Hanrui also remembered Ling Feng’s past. She hugged Ling Feng, feeling a little pained: "Ling Feng, I thought the same at first, but some biological research organizations, led by the International Biological Organization, have already started working on this, and... they’ve even made some progress, which is why they’ve called this meeting to test reactions from various sides and even draw more corporations into it."

"What do you think then?" Ling Feng asked gravely: "What’s your opinion on this meeting?"

Yun Hanrui shook her head: "I’m not optimistic because there are too many uncertainties and it would severely impact human society’s ethics and morals, but I can’t figure out why the International Biological Organization would initiate such a topic? Aren’t they worried about external criticism and accountability?"

Ling Feng sneered: "There’s naturally someone backing them, otherwise, where would the International Biological Organization get such audacity? The mastermind... is very likely America or the Dark Church!"

"Dark Church?" Yun Hanrui said surprised: "This issue is connected to them?"

Ling Feng nodded: "Don’t forget, the people from the Dark Church are all dark creatures. Though they appear no different from humans, in essence, they are dark creatures, so to them, human society’s ethics and morals are worthless!"

Yun Hanrui furrowed her brows: "What should we do now!"

Ling Feng chuckled lightly: "What to do? Just let it be! After all, this matter doesn’t have much to do with us, and do you think controlling the direction of gene mutations is such a simple task? Back then, neither my father nor the Mad Doctor succeeded, let alone that bunch of idiots from the International Biological Organization! At most, they’re conducting gene experiments on some animals, but with immature technology, they wouldn’t dare to target humans yet!"

At this point, Ling Feng sighed! Only a madman like the Mad Doctor would directly use human bodies for gene experiments.

"That madman, getting trampled to death by me, was truly too easy for him!" Ling Feng mused inwardly.

"I no longer have any expectations for this meeting!" Lying on Ling Feng’s lap, Yun Hanrui said dejectedly: "But many companies and groups have shown interest, I’m really worried about what bad things might happen if more forces get involved."

"We’ll deal with armies and floods as they come! Some things aren’t worth worrying too much about!" Ling Feng comforted: "We’re not the world’s police, we don’t need to maintain world peace, rest assured, even if something happens in the future, I’m here!"

Yun Hanrui sweetly smiled: "Ling Feng, you’re so good, I’ll give you a reward!"

With that, Yun Hanrui planted a kiss on Ling Feng’s cheek, and Ling Feng chuckled, pushing Yun Hanrui onto the bed: "Trying to get rid of me with just a little reward? You’re underestimating me! I’ll get it myself!"

The room was then filled with sounds of the two playfully scuffling and panting.

...

The next day, Aiven and Ling Feng sat in a coffee shop. Seeing Aiven’s energetic spirit, Ling Feng felt quite pleased.

"Brother Ling, you probably heard about the meeting’s content from your wife yesterday?" Aiven asked while sipping coffee.

Ling Feng nodded: "That’s right, but why aren’t you attending the meeting today? Isn’t it supposed to last three days?"

Aiven smirked: "I’m not interested, I had Steward Hill go for me! But I think there’s something odd about this meeting."

"What do you mean?"

"I don’t know if it’s my imagination or something else, but I feel like the meeting’s theme has something to do with the Mad Doctor. This was his primary research direction back then, although he never succeeded!" Aiven said gravely: "So when I heard about it again, I was still..."

"The Mad Doctor is dead!" Ling Feng said seriously: "Not every researcher would be as insane as the Mad Doctor! Plus, we’ve already broken free from his shackles, we’re free! You shouldn’t keep dwelling on the past, you’re a young master of the Nilas Family now, you need to look forward, not remain stuck in old memories."

Aiven smiled bitterly: "Brother Ling, you’re really carefree! It seems I’ll never match your broad mind in this lifetime!"
