Chapter 205: I Will Come Back
In response to the Securities and Exchange Commission's request under the Association, the Mengdu Group has made a major disclosure.
In the disclosure announcement, the Mengdu Group announced significant personnel changes at the corporate research and development headquarters.
Sun Miao, the original Senior Director of the research and development headquarters and leader of Project "Tree" Team 1, has been dismissed.
All members of Project "Tree" Team 1 have been sentenced to death.
Team 2 of Project "Tree" has been upgraded to Team 1, with the remaining teams upgrading sequentially.
As a result of this news, the stock price of Mengdu Group, with a total market value of tens of millions of trillions of Contribution Points, and control over production resources almost equivalent to that of the five major nations, experienced a slight decline, dropping by 3%, with market value evaporating by over a hundred trillion.
It's important to know that no matter how the stock market fluctuates in ordinary times, the Nine Major Groups have always been as steady as a mountain.
Such a decline was equivalent to a massive earthquake.
In chain reaction, the stock market opened up a new round of turbulent upheaval.
Fortunately, Ren Zhong had already wrapped up five days ago, ending his stock market god career, and had all his "illegal private equity" clients clear their positions.
Ren Zhong was unsure whether Wu Big Mouth and others recklessly entered the market after the fact, but that was no longer his concern.
In any case, this singular project team's fluctuation could cause such dramatic tremors in the stock prices of the Nine Major Groups, indicating the critical importance of Sun Miao's Project "Tree" Team 1.
Of course, the sharp drop in Mengdu Group's stock price was likely not solely due to the loss of Sun Miao, but primarily because of the execution of the entire project team.
Citizens do not have the strong willpower tempered by reality like the wastelanders, and still regard the death of their fellow "citizens" quite seriously.
This would inflict heavy damage on the cohesiveness of the corporate company.
Wounded hearts need time to recover.
Ren Zhong synthesized all the information and derived an analytical conclusion.
The identity of the victim from that crashed airship encountered a few days ago could be estimated.
The headless charred imprint came from Sun Miao.
The charred imprint, with head but limbs indistinguishable, came from Bai Feng.
Although he hadn't been able to see Bai Feng's uniquely long arms, it must have been because Bai Feng happened to die on his side.
Ren Zhong's evidence was simple: the height of the charred imprint.
At that time, he had not realized Sun Miao was already dead, so he didn't think in this direction.
Now, after seeing this announcement, he aimed to analyze Bai Feng and Sun Miao's heights, and the information matched up.
As for that single small fist-sized imprint, it could be a part of Bai Feng's body, or it could be a cancer embryo made by Sun Miao.
Moreover, Sun Miao should still have some like-minded comrades within Mengdu Group, namely Project "Tree" Team 1.
This was reasonable.
Relying solely on Sun Miao's strength, no matter how formidable, he could not complete such a large project alone.
Ren Zhong was uncertain whether the others awoke autonomously or were influenced by Sun Miao, but he believed they must surely be remarkable individuals.
If there were an opportunity, he truly wished to interact with these people.
He wanted to know precisely how much new insight his tip to Sun Miao had brought about this time.
He also wanted to understand what exactly had happened at the Mengdu Group's R&D headquarters, forcing Sun Miao to escape in haste and die in the territory of Starfire Town.
Ren Zhong speculated Sun Miao might have intended to deliver that embryo to him.
That child must be incredibly important, so important that it drove Sun Miao to irrationally place all his hopes on the child.
Of course, it was also possible that Sun Miao had no choice, merely coping with exposure by doing everything possible in a desperate attempt that ultimately failed.
There were so many things Ren Zhong wished to know, but unfortunately, the man had already been buried in dust.
After understanding this problem, Ren Zhong immediately realized that perhaps his time was also running out.
His series of operations led Bai Feng to Sun Miao's side, even though his actions were clean and seemingly flawless, under "The Net's" surveillance, there might not truly be any secrets in the world.
That he was still unharmed might be because the upheaval in Sun Miao's project team had caused some turmoil within the Mengdu Group, leaving them unable to act for the time being.
It could also be because Ren Zhong already had backing from two of the Nine Major Enterprises, namely the Tanggu Group and the somewhat less close Purple Crystal Mining, making it impossible for the Mengdu Group to eliminate him as casually as they did others, requiring evidence to capture concrete proof of his misdeeds.
Sure enough, as soon as he arrived at Chromium Carbon Town, he was immediately summoned to the town government of Chromium Carbon Town, where he once again met Xiao Xingyue in the reception hall.
