The System Rewards Me With Cultivation

He was reborn, returning to his miserable starting point in high school, where he was strung along and treated as a servile dog by the school beauty.

In his previous life, his humble efforts ...

At the dining table, there were only a few scattered sounds of people picking up their chopsticks. Liu Xiaoran couldn't hide his desire to kill someone. He stared intently at Han Feng. Although he was prepared, it was hard for him to accept that this person had just left his house and then snatched away his prized possession.

Liu Mengran noticed her brother's unusual behavior and didn't dare to look up and meet his gaze. Han Feng, on the other hand, looked embarrassed and didn't know how to break the ice.

At this crucial moment, we still have to rely on Su Wanwan. At this moment, she picked up a large piece of fish belly, stuffed it into her mouth and said, "Didn't you say you would tell me when Liu the big blockhead arrives?"

Liu Xiaoran then remembered that Han Feng had summoned her for a mission, and her gaze immediately turned questioning.

"Ahem." Han Feng coughed lightly and continued, "In a few days we will be heading to R country. Our mission is to destroy three gene laboratories in R country."

"As I just mentioned, this mission is classified as top secret." Han Feng glanced at the group. Liu Mengran remained silent, while Su Wanwan and Liu Xiaoran looked serious.

"Before departure, we will switch to the identities arranged by Elder Lin." Han Feng's gaze swept over everyone present. "We will accompany the official team from the State-owned New Energy Company to Country R, ​​ostensibly to participate in the New Energy Summit and a visit to China."

Su Wanwan had already put down her cutlery, her eyes shining brightly. Liu Xiaoran, however, frowned slightly.

"Wasn't this already decided?" Liu Xiaoran asked, his voice low. "Has the plan changed?"

Han Feng nodded and projected a set of encrypted photos onto the restaurant wall from his phone. Several blurry surveillance screenshots showed several figures dressed in traditional R-country clothing frequently entering and leaving the target laboratory.

"The situation in Country R has changed. Some families have begun to get involved in the field of genetic research." Han Feng zoomed in on one of the photos, clearly showing the profile of a man wearing a black haori. "These three target laboratories are now being controlled by families."

"A family?" Su Wanwan tilted her head and interjected, "What family? The underworld? Or their so-called royalty?"

The dining table suddenly fell silent. Liu Xiaoran and Han Feng exchanged a glance, the former's jawline noticeably tightening.

Han Feng didn't answer Su Wanwan directly, but instead looked directly at Liu Xiaoran: "You should understand this. What would be the consequences if family forces intervened? If we proceed according to the original plan, it would likely exceed Longyuan's ability to handle the aftermath."

Liu Xiaoran's expression was somewhat strange; it was unclear what he was thinking. "Do you know which companies are involved now?" he asked, his voice more hoarse than usual.

"Makino, Ikegami, Miyamoto." When Han Feng announced these three names, he noticed that Liu Xiaoran's pupils contracted almost imperceptibly.

Liu Xiaoran lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then suddenly glanced at her younger sister before quickly looking away. This subtle movement did not escape Han Feng's notice.

"You mean you want me to investigate these three companies?" Liu Xiaoran finally said.

"That's exactly what I wanted to say." Han Feng leaned forward slightly. "You know more about this than I do. So, you'll handle this..."

"I understand," Liu Xiaoran interrupted him, clearly not wanting to discuss the details at the dinner table.

Su Wanwan slammed her fork on the plate with a loud "clang!" "Can you guys stop playing games? What exactly is 'family'?" She glared angrily at Han Feng. "You always get so secretive when it comes to the crucial part!"

Han Feng sighed: "I'll explain to you separately later." He turned to Liu Xiaoran, "This operation only involves the three of us."

"Just the three of us?" Liu Xiaoran suddenly looked up, his gaze sharp as a knife as he pierced Su Wanwan. "What's she doing there? On vacation?"

Su Wanwan instantly exploded, slamming her hand on the table and standing up: "Liu, you blockhead! Who do you think you are?! My information hacking skills are no joke!"

"Alright, Wanwan, sit down first." Han Feng's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable authority. Su Wanwan angrily sat back down in her chair, crossing her arms over her chest.

"I asked Su Wanwan to join, and I had my reasons," Han Feng said calmly. "She fits into my operational plan. As for the rest, you don't need to concern yourself with that."

Liu Xiaoran narrowed his eyes, his scrutinizing gaze lingering on Su Wanwan for a few seconds. Han Feng knew what he was thinking; how could a technician from Longyuan be involved in such a dangerous operation?

Han Feng said to Liu Xiaoran, "You'll understand why I brought Su Wanwan along when the time comes."

"Twenty-four hours before departure, someone will deliver all the background information and key points of memory for our new identities," Han Feng said seriously, turning to face the group again. The changing light made his features appear particularly sharp. "Remember, from the moment you receive your new identities, you can only act according to their methods. Any mistake, no matter how small, could lead to mission failure."

Su Wanwan raised her hand: "One last question—how will we 'destroy' the lab? Will we physically blow it up, or...?"

"It depends on the situation." Han Feng's lips curled into a cold smile. "But there's only one principle: ensure these laboratories can never continue their gene experiments."

"Understood!" The men's eyes straightened.

After the meal, Han Feng saw Liu Xiaoran off. As they arrived at the door, Liu Xiaoran's murderous gaze made Han Feng feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"Uh, you don't need to look at me like that," Han Feng said tentatively to Liu Xiaoran.

"When did this happen?" Liu Xiaoran's tone carried a hint of accusation.

Han Feng naturally knew what the other person was talking about. "Yesterday."

Liu Xiaoran was furious: "You just came back from my house! And you've already taken my sister..." The thought of the person who stole his sweetheart standing right in front of him made Liu Xiaoran lose his temper.

"Uh, we're mutually attracted," Han Feng said somewhat guiltily.

After a moment of silence, Liu Xiaoran said, "Although I was mentally prepared, I still need to make things clear to you."

Han Feng waved his hand to interrupt Liu Xiaoran and said firmly, "Your grandfather has already told me, I know that."

Liu Xiaoran gave Han Feng a deep look: "If I find out you've bullied my sister, even if I can't beat you, I'll risk my life to deal with you." Liu Xiaoran's tone was resolute, brooking no doubt. This was an older brother's doting love for his sister.

"I won't give you that chance. No one can bully Mengran here," Han Feng said defiantly.

"I hope you remember what I said today and do what you say." After saying that, Liu Xiaoran walked to his car, got in, started the engine, and stepped on the gas pedal smoothly.

Han Feng had just returned to the villa when he found that the two women had already finished packing. At that moment, Su Wanwan pounced on him like a hungry wolf: "Tell me quickly, what exactly is a family!"
