Chapter 3249 Genius among Geniuses

At this moment, Song Ruyu has figured out the current situation. Ye Chen's strength is far beyond hers, and it is a pipe dream to get away. Although she doesn't understand why Ye Chen could forge his own video in such a short time, she knows that this video is flawless. Once it is exposed, her family will surely die.

Therefore, the only thing he could do now was to cooperate with Ye Chen as much as possible and not implicate his family.

Seeing that she had given in, Ye Chen put away his phone and said to her, "From now on, you must answer whatever I ask you. You must tell me everything you know. As long as you cooperate well, I will not implicate your family, or even you. Maybe I can even spare your life. Do you understand?"

Song Ruyu nodded repeatedly, and said aggrievedly and obediently: "I understand..."

Ye Chen asked her: "What is your position in the Right Army Governor's Office, what are you responsible for, and who do you report to?"

Song Ruyu replied, "I am one of the six assistants of the Right Army Commander's Office. I have no specific responsibilities and I will obey the orders of Lieutenant General Yuan."

Ye Chen asked again: "Who is Admiral Yuan and where does he come from?"

Song Ruyu said: "General Yuan is the lieutenant general of the Right Army Governor's Office. His official position is second only to the Grand Governor. He is responsible for the operation and management of all garrisons, and is also responsible for the safety of the Grand Governor and his family."

Then Song Ruyu said, "The Grand Commander is named Wu Shutong, and he is responsible for everything in the Right Army Commander's Office."

Ye Chen nodded and continued to ask: "Where is the headquarters of the Right Army Governor's Office?"

Song Ruyu answered truthfully: "My current location is in Naples, Italy."

Ye Chen asked again: "How is the defense situation of the garrison?"

Song Ruyu said: "The station is located in the city center and is heavily guarded. The Grand Commander is a cultivator himself, and Adjutant General Yuan is second only to the four earls in strength. In addition, the station uses financial-grade security construction, and the security level is very high."

Ye Chen asked her: "Is your Song family also in Naples?"

Song Ruyu said: "The Song family has been in France for many years. Under normal circumstances, we have no right to know the location of the Right Army Governor's Office. It's just that I have the opportunity to enter the Right Army Governor's Office, so I know this."

Ye Chen frowned and asked, "Isn't your family a branch of the Wu family? How come you don't even have the right to know the location of the station?"

Song Ruyu sighed and said, "The collateral family itself has no status to speak of. For hundreds of years, the Song family has only unilaterally obeyed the Wu family's orders. We go wherever they tell us to go, never asking why, and we are not allowed to raise any objections."

Song Ruyu continued, "We say we are a branch of the Wu family, but we are actually a tool to provide the Wu family with women of marriageable age. The birth of a child in the family must be reported to the Governor's Office as soon as possible. The Governor's Office has a department specifically responsible for managing and monitoring us, similar to the ancient clan office. All the information about our offspring is in their possession, and the information must be updated every six months, including detailed physical examination data. Girls who are sixteen years old or older must face marriage. As long as the Wu family has someone selected, the Wu family will inform us, and then they will come to pick the person up at a certain time."

Ye Chen was very curious about the relationship between the Wu family and the collateral family, so he said to her: "Tell me in detail about your relationship with the Wu family. How does this so-called collateral family work?"

Song Ruyu was silent for a moment, then sighed, "It's called a collateral family, but in fact, it just provides wives for the men of the Wu family..."

As she spoke, she told Ye Chen the details of the relationship between the Song family and the Wu family.

It was the first time that Ye Chen knew that in order to keep the secret of the Poqing Society, the Wu family actually coerced other families to help them continue their bloodline. This was truly unheard of.

But think about it, a family like the Wu family has always relied on Wu Feiyan for survival and holds the most core secrets of the Poqing Society. Such a family has to keep secrets on the one hand and continue its bloodline on the other. Apart from this evil method, there seems to be no other good way.

Moreover, according to Song Ruyu, there are actually at least twenty collateral families in the Wu family that are tied together like the Song family.

After all, the Wu family has been growing and flourishing under the protection of Wu Feiyan for hundreds of years. During these hundreds of years, with Wu Feiyan and the death warriors and cavalry guards she raised, plague, war, natural disasters, and man-made disasters have never had any impact on the Wu family. Therefore, the Wu family has been exceptionally prosperous over the past few hundred years.

Even if an ordinary family reproduces at a rocket speed, it cannot catch up with the Wu family, so they have been continuously developing their own collateral families over the past few hundred years.

Ever since the Anti-Qing Society divided its global bases into the Five Military Governorates, the Wu family was naturally divided into five branches due to geographical reasons. These five branches developed and multiplied in their respective territories, and each branch had at least three collateral families dedicated to reproducing offspring for it.

Among them, the Left Military Governor's Office and the Right Military Governor's Office were the largest, and these two branches of the Wu family had the largest number of people and the most collateral families.

Taking the Right Army Military Governor's Office as an example, they have as many as six collateral families, the largest number among them.

For the children of the Song family and other collateral families, marrying into the Wu family is not the best choice, because although the important descendants of the Wu family are protected by elixirs and can live a hundred years, their wives have no right and no qualifications to get any elixirs. In fact, because the Wu family has too many secrets, women who marry into the Wu family basically rely on the Wu family's own doctors to treat them when they are sick. If they have serious illnesses such as cancer, the Wu family simply does not have such medical conditions, and they will not be willing to give the elixirs given by Wu Feiyan to women from other families. Therefore, the average life expectancy of the wives of the Wu family is not long.

After hearing the introduction, Ye Chen felt a little sympathetic towards the collateral family like the Song family. After a moment, he asked again: "Are you married now?"

Song Ruyu shook her head: "Not yet. When I was sixteen, I broke through to the Transformation Realm. Since then, I am no longer an option for the Wu family to marry."

Ye Chen was dumbfounded when he heard this: "You broke through to the Transcendent Realm at the age of sixteen?!"

"Yes." Song Ruyu nodded: "I am indeed sixteen years old. To be exact, I am less than half a month away from my sixteenth birthday."

Ye Chen was so shocked that he was speechless. He had never heard of any kind of genius who could break through to the realm of transformation at the age of sixteen.

Martial arts are not about cultivation. After a cultivator attains enlightenment and masters spiritual energy, his strength will advance by leaps and bounds in an instant, which is equivalent to a one-stop direct access.

But in martial arts, there is no such possibility. You can only move forward slowly, step by step.

Therefore, although masters in the transformation realm cannot beat cultivators who have just attained enlightenment, the road of martial arts is long and arduous. Many martial arts masters have not been able to enter the dark realm until they are sixty years old. Song Ruyu reached the evolution realm at the age of sixteen. He is truly an expert among experts and a genius among geniuses!
