Chapter 3214: A genius among geniuses

At this moment, Song Ruyu had already figured out the current situation. Ye Chen's strength far exceeded her own, and wanting to escape was wishful thinking. Although she couldn't figure out why Ye Chen could forge her video in such a short time, she knew that this video was seamless. Once exposed, her family would definitely die.

Therefore, the only thing she could do now was to cooperate with Ye Chen as much as possible so as not to implicate her family.

Seeing her soften, Ye Chen put away his phone and said to her, "From now on, whatever I ask you, you answer. You must know everything and say everything. As long as you cooperate well, I will not implicate your family, and even you, perhaps I can spare your life. Do you understand?"

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

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

Song Ruyu replied, "I am one of the six Inspectors of the Right Military Governor's Office. I have no specific work to be responsible for. I listen to the dispatch of General Can Yuan for everything."

Ye Chen asked again, "Who is General Can Yuan, and what is his background?"

Song Ruyu said, "General Can Yuan is the General of the Right Military Governor's Office. His official position is second only to the Great Governor. He is responsible for the operation and management of all stations and is also responsible for the safety of the Great Governor and his family."

As she spoke, Song Ruyu added, "The Great Governor's name is Wu Shutong. Everything in the Right Military Governor's Office is his responsibility."

Ye Chen nodded and continued to ask, "Where is the station of the Right Military Governor's Office?"

Song Ruyu replied truthfully, "The current station is in Naples, Italy."

Ye Chen asked again, "How is the defense of the station?"

Song Ruyu said, "The station is located in the city center, and the security is very strict. The Great Governor himself is a cultivator, and General Can Yuan's strength is second only to the four great Earls. Moreover, the station uses financial-grade security construction, and the safety 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 all these years. Under normal circumstances, we have no right to know the location of the station of the Right Military Governor's Office. It is only because I have the opportunity to enter the Right Military Governor's Office that I know these things."

Ye Chen frowned and asked, "Isn't the family you belong to a collateral family 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, "Collateral families themselves have no status to speak of. For hundreds of years, the Song family has only listened to the commands of the Wu family unilaterally. Wherever they tell us to go, we go. We never ask for the reason, and we cannot raise any objections."

As she spoke, Song Ruyu added, "We say we are a collateral family of the Wu family, but in fact, we are just tools to provide marriageable women for the Wu family. If there are children born in the family, they must be reported to the Governor's Office immediately. The Governor's Office has a department specifically responsible for managing and monitoring us, similar to the Zongrenfu in ancient times. All the information of our offspring is with them, and the information must be updated every six months, including detailed physical examination data. Girls who reach the age of sixteen have to face marriage. As long as someone in the Wu family selects them, the Wu family will inform us, and then they will come at a certain point in time to pick them up."

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

Song Ruyu was silent for a moment and sighed, "Saying it's a collateral family, in fact, it's just specifically for transporting wives for the men of the Wu family..."

As she spoke, she told Ye Chen the origin of the Song family and the Wu family one by one.

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

But thinking about it, a family like the Wu family has always relied on Wu Feiyan for survival and holds the core secrets of the Anti-Qing Society. For such a family, on the one hand, they have to keep secrets, and on the other hand, they have to continue their bloodline. Except for this evil method, it seems there is no other good way.

Moreover, according to Song Ruyu, in fact, there are at least twenty such collateral families tied up like the Song family by the Wu family.

After all, the Wu family has branched out under the protection of Wu Feiyan for hundreds of years. In these hundreds of years, with Wu Feiyan and the dead soldiers and Brave Cavalry Guards she raised, plagues, wars, natural disasters, and man-made disasters have never brought any impact to the Wu family. Therefore, the Wu family has been exceptionally prosperous in the past few hundred years.

Even if the breeding speed of ordinary families took a rocket, it could not keep up with the Wu family. Therefore, they have also been continuously developing their own collateral families for these hundreds of years.

Since the Anti-Qing Society divided global stations with the Five Military Governor's Offices, the Wu family members have also been naturally divided into five branches due to geographical reasons. These five branches have developed and bred in their respective territories. Each branch has at least three collateral families specifically for breeding offspring for it.

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

Taking the Right Military Governor's Office as an example, they have as many as six collateral families, which is the most among them.

And for the children of the Song family and other collateral families, marrying into the Wu family as a wife is not the best choice. Because although the important offspring of the Wu family have elixir protection and can live for a hundred years, their wives have no right or qualification to get any elixir. Moreover, 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 get a serious illness like cancer, the Wu family itself has no such medical conditions, and they would not be willing to give the elixir bestowed by Wu Feiyan to women of other surnames. Therefore, the average lifespan of the Wu family's wives is not long.

After listening to the introduction, Ye Chen also had some sympathy for collateral families like the Song family. After a while, he asked again, "Then 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 have no longer been an object for the Wu family's marriage."

Ye Chen was dumbfounded when he heard this, "You broke through to the Transformation Realm at sixteen?!"

"Yes." Song Ruyu nodded, "It was indeed sixteen. To be precise, there was less than half a month before my sixteenth birthday."

Ye Chen was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He had never heard of any genius who could break through to the Transformation Realm at sixteen.

Martial arts are not cultivators. Cultivators realize the Dao, and after mastering Qi, their strength advances by leaps and bounds in an instant, which is equivalent to reaching the destination in one step.

And martial arts do not have this possibility. They can only walk up slowly step by step.

Therefore, although Transformation Realm experts cannot beat cultivators who have just realized the Dao, walking the path of martial arts is a long way to go. Many martial arts experts have not been able to enter the Dark Realm at sixty. Song Ruyu entered the Transformation Realm at sixteen. This is truly a master among masters, a genius among geniuses!
