Sure enough, Jaguar continued in a deep voice, "With Fade's assistance, we received promising results. Professor Song also got a breakthrough with his help."

"About a month ago, Professor Song successfully developed the first batch of gene-strengthening liquid. After experimenting with animals, the results were very promising. After a human trial, the medicine was finally approved and it could be manufactured."

At this point, he paused and said in a deep voice, "But at this crucial moment, Professor Song suddenly fled the laboratory with a sample, went abroad overnight, and rushed to Jopeno."

"What!" Hearing this, Fade and Susie cried out in surprise.

"How is this possible? Why did Professor Song do this? There's no reason for him to do this." Fade's face was full of disbelief.

Jaguar continued, "We didn't know the reason at first, and we also didn't believe that Professor Song would do such a thing. However, then we investigated his background and we found that he had opened an overseas bank account three years ago and every half a year, the people in Jopeno would transfer money over into his account. Based on this data, we inferred that Professor Song took the gene- strengthening liquid and fled there."

"That's impossible. My dad wouldn't do such a thing!" Susie was emotional.

Fade also felt that it was impossible. He couldn't help but ask, "General Xu, I think that there's more to it. Professor Song is not short on cash. I don't think he would commit treason because of money." "Also, the gene-strengthening liquid is a top-secret of the country. It should have been kept somewhere secretive. How would someone like Professor Song be capable of carrying the samples out of the country?"

Because of Fade's doubts, Jaguar muttered in a low voice, "After the incident, we investigated the forces guarding the specimens and found that there was nothing wrong with them. The bodyguards sent to protect Professor Song were from the Zhao family. They were all Heaven Level martial artists. Ordinary people were no match for them."

"However, according to the bodyguard that was sent to protect him at that time, someone had contacted Professor Song and they worked together. Thus, only then was he able to flee." "The person in charge of protecting Professor Song is the Zhao family?" Fade could not help but frown.

Jaguar continued, "Fade, I know that you have a feud with the Zhao family, but they are the imperial guard family and have been responsible for guarding the top leaders of the country for decades. The Zhao family's force is quite promising and this is also why we asked them to be in charge of guarding Professor Song. Therefore, we sent people from the Zhao family to protect him, but unexpectedly..." Fade shook his head and said, "I still don't believe that Professor Song would collude with the Jopeno people and betray the country. I don't believe that he is such a person."

Susie nodded and said, "My father is by no means someone like that."

Jaguar sighed softly and said, "I don't want to believe it either, but all the evidence points to Professor Song committing treason."

After that, he was silent.

Fade was silent for a moment. Then, he stared at Jaguar and said firmly, "General Xu, is there anything I can do?"

Fade thought that a big shot like Jaguar could personally grant his authorization and even take time out to explain it in detail to him. This was not as simple as it seemed.

Sure enough, when Jaguar heard his words, he said, "This matter is of great importance. It relates to national security and decades of research of the country's gene-strengthening liquid, and it also affects Professor Song's personal reputation."

"Thus, I hope that you will help in investigating this matter."

"How should I investigate?"

"We will certainly still carry out the investigation here but our officials cannot enter Jopeno. Thus, we will send an investigation team there to enter the country as ordinary civilians to secretly investigate Professor Song and bring him back to the country with the gene-strengthening liquid.

"Also, I hope that you will join this secret investigation team." Jaguar stared at him.

Fade nodded without any hesitation and agreed, "Alright. When will the team depart and what should I prepare?"

"They will depart the day after tomorrow and if you are free tomorrow, why not come and get to know the team and they will brief you on the itinerary."

"I see. I'll be there on time tomorrow."

After chatting for a moment longer, even though Jaguar didn't make a statement saying that Professor Song was innocent, it could be seen that he also didn't believe that he would commit treason. Therefore, he asked Fade to find out the truth as soon as possible and prove Professor Song's innocence.

After exiting the lab, Fade and Susie returned home.

Back at home, sitting on the sofa, she was in a trance. It seemed like she was still puzzled. Everything that had happened that day was completely beyond her expectation. Especially the military secrets, treason case, and big shots like Mr. Xu. She had never come in contact with any of these but out of a sudden, she was told the truth in one sitting, thus it was a little hard for her to believe it.

Fade comforted her and promised her that he would find Garvet and bring him back to the country safely. Fade would prove his innocence.

The next day, he met up with the rest of his team members. After that, he returned home, told his wife about his plans, and spent the night with her.

The next morning, he arrived at the airport with his luggage.

At the airport, Fade found his tour group. They were to take a seven-day trip to Jopeno, the island country. In order to hide their identity, the military claimed that this team of five people were tourists. Among the tour group, he saw several members of his investigation team. They glanced at each other. After confirming that everyone was here, he didn't have much contact with them.

One of the reasons was to reduce suspicion. Another reason was that he had nothing to talk to them about.

The leader of the investigation team was called Filex. He was a martial artist in the early stage of Heaven Level, and he was from the Zhao family. Because of the previous conflicts, the Zhao family didn't get along with Fade, thus they didn't treat him well.

As for the remaining three, one was Filex's confidant, and naturally, he and Fade were not close. The other two came from the military, led by a member of the inspection team named Eilert, who was responsible for easing the situation between Fade and Filex.

They didn't talk much. Each of them took their luggage and waited to board like ordinary tourists.
