He linked himself to the explosion incident, mistakenly believing that the Xiao Family issued a bounty against the White Owl.

And the Black Shark Organization hunted the White Owl for the bounty, which triggered that earth-shattering battle.

He might even think that with his power surpassing that of an ordinary S-Class, he’s already provoked the hidden Ideal Land.

Cheng Jiashu guessed half of it right, but he did not know the full story.

In reality, it was a precise hunt initiated by Fang Cheng himself, targeting the core members of Ideal Land.

Of course, Fang Cheng didn’t plan to reveal the truth.

After all, this is extremely sensitive, involving many of his secrets, and there’s no need to explain too much to outsiders.

After pondering for a moment, Fang Cheng looked up and asked:

"The Life Science Ethics Committee you mentioned earlier, is it a department under the Special Search Team?"

"No."

Cheng Jiashu shook his head, a mocking smile appearing at the corner of his mouth:

"They belong to the military forces, or more accurately, a national defense research institution established at the direct behest of the President’s Mansion."

Fang Cheng was somewhat surprised by these words:

"Would the military actually choose to cooperate with the family tycoons?"

It’s known that both Ma Jianguo and Shi Chengyi had previously made one thing clear.

There is an inherent conflict between the family tycoons and top government officials; the two sides are fundamentally opposed in their fight for national control.

Seeing that Fang Cheng seemingly didn’t understand the intricacies, Cheng Jiashu then patiently explained:

"Over the years, the power of the Special Search Team has inflated excessively, gradually transforming from a mere law enforcement agency into a massive, independent kingdom."

"They not only have independent law enforcement powers but also control vast military resources; even the President’s Mansion sometimes has to heed their stance."

"This is a political imbalance that those in authority absolutely cannot tolerate."

"Thus, the Life Science Ethics Committee came into being as a tool to counterbalance the Special Search Team."

"From what I know, this committee has been planning genetic modification projects and conducting secret human experiments for a few years, aiming to mass-produce controllable super soldiers."

"Currently, the military’s elite ’Shadow Blade’ and ’Steel Bone’ special operation units, most of their members are basically from this committee’s super soldier modification project, with formidable strength that even the Special Search Team dreads."

At this point, the smile on Cheng Jiashu’s face faded, and his expression turned unprecedentedly solemn.

He leaned slightly forward, eyes sharply locking onto Fang Cheng’s:

"Fang Cheng, you’re a smart person; you should understand what this means."

"The Xiao Family represents the financial tycoons and the business community, Noah is an underground civilian organization, and the Life Science Ethics Committee represents the military and political circles."

"These three forces were originally supposed to check each other, engage in open and covert struggles."

"But now, they can set aside prejudices and disputes, actually sitting at the same table and joining hands in cooperation."

"In this world, only one force possesses such terrifying energy to bring these three together."

Fang Cheng’s eyes moved slightly, and he softly uttered three words:

"Ideal Land?"

"Yes."

Cheng Jiashu nodded heavily, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes:

"The infiltration of the Xia Country government’s top echelons by the Ideal Land organization has long reached a shocking degree."

"The peripheral forces they control are even more intricate, like a malignancy, with Noah, Black Shark, and even the Xiao Family, strictly speaking, merely pawns they’ve arranged."

Cheng Jiashu took a deep breath, seemingly trying to suppress the chill in his heart:

"In the eyes of ordinary people, the Xiao Family is high and mighty, able to call the shots."

"But in front of Ideal Land, even this kind of noble family with three S-Class strength members is at most just a slightly stronger watchdog, or a wallet responsible for providing funds."

"That organization is like an invisible ghost, with tentacles spread across the globe, and no one knows where their headquarters is, nor who their leader is. Everyone who tries to unearth their secrets has quietly vanished in the end."

At this point, Cheng Jiashu gazed at Fang Cheng with unusually sincere words:

"That’s why I remind you, without adequate preparation and absolute overpowering strength, it’s best not to provoke Ideal Land."

"Especially with the undercurrents surging in East Capital now, if such a powerful organization targets you, even a power user like us with S-Class rank might find no place to be buried."

The lounge fell into a brief silence.

Only the tick-tock of the quartz clock on the wall was heard.

Fang Cheng understood very well.

Cheng Jiashu intentionally kept him back today and shared so many secrets, which was definitely not just a simple reunion.

Although he’s not sure which channel Jiashu acquired all this intelligence from, Jiashu’s choice to disclose it to him in full at least shows goodwill.

Fang Cheng even faintly felt that Jiashu seemed to be seeking some potential ally.

His words were both a probe and a warning, as well as a sort of pledge.

"Don’t worry."

Fang Cheng looked up, his previous pensive expression instantly disappeared, replaced by a relaxed smile.

"I’m afraid of death the most and never do things I’m not sure of. With such a huge entity, I’d avoid it if I could, how would I actively provoke it?"

"Right now, all I want is to get into graduate school smoothly, take good care of my family, and live a stable life."

After saying this, Fang Cheng straightened up, nodding seriously towards Cheng Jiashu:
