Chapter 68 Anger.
Duke Leslie really wanted to stop it, but the people from the Gene Research Institute did not give her a chance. During the time they were in the lounge, the people from the Gene Research Institute had announced on behalf of Duke Leslie that the purpose of holding the banquet tonight was to celebrate Colonel Grace becoming a gene fusionist.
This news had been widely circulated before, but many people did not know that the person involved was the male son of Duke Leslie's family.
So when the people attending the dinner knew that Grace was the male who changed from a "defective" male to a gene fusionist, they all showed surprise.
When the waiter came to inform Duke Leslie about this, Duke Leslie finally realized the seriousness of the problem.
At this time, she did not even dare to look Duke Lu Xia in the eye.
It was Prince Li Mang who patted her on the shoulder: "Go and see what's going on first."
The reason why the group of people from the Gene Research Institute did this was to set Duke Leslie up so that she would have no choice but to agree to their demands.
This time they wanted to go for a public opinion war.
Lu Xia turned to look at Grace: "You just stay here."
At this time, it was not convenient for Grace to appear.
Grace knew that Lu Xia was protecting him. She was touched but also worried about her: "It's okay for me. I'll go with you."
"No, you just stay here and do nothing. I want to see if these people from the Gene Research Institute dare to snatch people from me!" Lu Xia lifted her skirt and followed Duke Leslie out of the lounge.
After watching them leave, Prince Li Mang looked at Grace who was standing there: "You have a very good female master."
"Yes, Your Excellency, I think so too."
Prince Li Mang was not just talking. She had never seen a female who protected males like Lu Xia. She asked herself that she would not treat the males around her harshly, but she could not protect them as attentively as Lu Xia.
To put it bluntly, she didn't care about the life and death of males at all.
But Lu Xia obviously cared.
As soon as Duke Leslie and Lu Xia appeared in the banquet hall, they felt that everyone's eyes were looking at them.
The person from the Gene Research Institute who was holding the microphone on the stage said with a smile: "Now that Duke Leslie and Duke Lu Xia are here, can we ask the two dukes what they think?"
The other party had a smile on his face, not thinking at all whether it was impolite to spread such things without the permission of the host family in such an occasion.
Duke Leslie had not yet figured out how to deal with this matter, both to save the face of the Leslie family and not to hurt the relationship with the Gene Research Institute.
Compared to her concerns, Lu Xia did not have so many ideas. She walked up to the stage and reached out to grab the other party's microphone: "Who allowed you to say these things here?"
The question was asked in a cold tone, without giving anyone face just because there were many people present.
The people from the Genetic Research Institute froze, and then pretended to smile naturally: "We just want to share the good news with everyone, Lu Xia..."
"I know what your purpose is. You want to fight a public opinion war with me, right? Well, I hope that the experimental procedures of your Genetic Research Institute in the past can withstand the promotion, otherwise, you will pay the price for what you did today." Lu Xia rarely gets angry, and there are not many things that can cause her emotional fluctuations.
But the people from the Genetic Research Institute did things for their own selfish desires time and time again, which really made her feel sick.
"Duke Lu Xia, what do you mean? Did you misunderstand us? We really..."
"Shut up, I know your purpose very well. The first time, you wanted me to agree to Grace to sign a voluntary research agreement, but I didn't agree, so you went to find Grace's direct leader, but unfortunately the other party didn't agree either. So this time you set your sights on Duke Leslie, trying to use public opinion and morality to kidnap Grace, but have you ever thought about how you would end this if I don't agree?"
Lu Xia was no longer prepared to show mercy to the other party, and continued: "May I ask, what is the current situation of those who voluntarily signed the research agreement in the past? Are they still alive? Are they in good health? Have you made any compensation later? I want you to answer truthfully in front of these people. I will verify the data you say afterwards. Do you dare to say it? How many of your research results were carried out on the corpses of others? Don't you know?"
"I tell you, Grace became a gene fusionist because of an accident. If anyone dares to touch him, ask me first." At this point, Lu Xia looked at the people in the audience, "I am Duke Lu Xia, Grace is my person, I don't intend to speculate too much about your thoughts, but I hope you don't have any bad intentions. I don't want to be an enemy of anyone, but I'm not afraid of being an enemy of anyone. Today, Duke Leslie held this celebration dinner to celebrate Grace's becoming a gene fusionist. This is not a secret that needs to be concealed. We are willing to share the joy with everyone, but we don't need to use others' mouths."
"People from the Genetic Research Institute, you can leave."
Lu Xia's words made the atmosphere in the banquet hall dead silent. No one expected that Duke Lu Xia would do this for his husband.
Whether it was female or male, the eyes looking at Lu Xia were full of shock.
The people in the Genetic Research Institute didn't expect that the females who always cared about face could say such a thing in front of everyone.
For a moment, they didn't know what to do. Their thoughts were exposed by Duke Lu Xia without any scruples.
If they did something else, it was not difficult to imagine what Duke Lu Xia would do. The past research of their Gene Research Institute, as Duke Lu Xia said just now, was not completely able to withstand sales promotion.
So they did not dare to confront Duke Lu Xia head-on.
They could only turn to Duke Leslie for help. After all, this was Grace's mother and she still had a certain say.
As a result, they found that Duke Leslie did not even look at them, and obviously gave up on them.
"Come on, send the people from the Gene Research Institute away."
As Duke Leslie's voice fell, the waiters serving in the banquet hall came forward and took the people from the Gene Research Institute away.
At the same time, Duke Leslie said, "I'm very sorry to let irrelevant people disturb today's dinner. I didn't expect that the people from the Gene Research Institute had such a purpose. I was also deceived. I thought they were sincerely sending blessings. How difficult it was for Grace over the years, I, as a mother, have seen it in my eyes. Now that he is better, he has provoked these blood-sucking guys. My Duke Leslie Mansion will definitely stand with Duke Lu Xia!"
