CHAPTER 370: CHAPTER 152: WHAT IS LOST IN THE EAST CORNER IS GAINED IN THE WESTERN ELM_2

Yang Bingzhong pondered for a moment and sighed, "That’s truly a pity."

Ren Zhong sighed along, "Yeah. It is."

Yang Bingzhong: "Hmm,"

Yang Bingzhong said no more, clicked to continue the video playback, while already having analyzed Ren Zhong’s mindset at the time with great accuracy in his heart.

Ren Zhong must have been affected by the self-blame from Si Mawan’s death, slowly overcoming his fear, and still wanting to save people.

The video continued to progress.

Bei Lihui detected that Ren Zhong’s motorboat was still operational.

Ren Zhong, the fool, voluntarily admitted that his motorboat was indeed intact and had even been modified.

Bei Lihui and Lin Wang each said, "You can come back now, right."

Yang Bingzhong felt something in his heart and clicked pause again.

He checked Lin Wang’s professional team’s account through the company’s financial management system and found out that Lin Wang indeed transferred two million from the account at that moment.

Yang Bingzhong asked, "Did Lin Wang and Bei Lihui also transfer money to you?"

The opposite Ren Zhong denied it outright, "At that moment, they indeed wanted to transfer money to me. But I had previously received money from Si Mawan and yet didn’t help at all. I feared that I couldn’t do it again and didn’t check their transfer right away."

Yang Bingzhong furrowed his brows and continued to play the video, and sure enough, he saw Ren Zhong’s next line.

"... Talking about money is too distant... Captain, the way you treat me... I can never accept your money... I’ll be right there!"

After Ren Zhong said this, he dived down without hesitation.

Yang Bingzhong was left speechless at once.

Well, given his understanding of Lin Wang and Bei Lihui, if Ren Zhong didn’t collect the money immediately, seeing him move into action, these two would surely cancel the transfer at lightning speed.

For Yang Bingzhong, a mere two million wasn’t a big deal, but it’s still not a small amount.

Upon thinking that at least two million contribution points vanished into thin air due to Lin Wang and Bei Lihui’s deaths, whose private accounts were deactivated, President Yang felt a sense of regret.

The video continued.

Ren Zhong continued explaining, "I saved Lin Wang first, but unexpectedly fell off the vehicle myself. Then I begged him to come back for me. Yet he treated me like that."

Yang Bingzhong nodded slightly, "Truly vicious."

"Alas!" Ren Zhong sighed, then gritted his teeth and said, "I risked my life to save them. Who would have thought he was after the money in my hands! Simply..."

Yang Bingzhong said, "You have more than just a little in your hands. After picking up the mine source stone, you have five hundred thousand, and then got three hundred thousand from Si Mawan. You have at least eight hundred thousand."

Ren Zhong: "That... that should not become their reason to betray me."

Yang Bingzhong nodded, "Indeed."

The video continued.

The explosion of the Information Flow Interference Bomb severely damaged the camera’s performance, making the image slightly blurry, though the conversation’s sound remained clear.

The video provided by Lin Wang showed a similar phenomenon, only slightly less severe.

Yang Bingzhong: "Why was there an Information Flow Interference Bomb on your motorboat? Did you place all your ammo on the vehicle as well?"

Ren Zhong answered truthfully, "The interference bomb was recommended by Manager Ju. The day I picked up the mine source stone, I narrowly escaped from the leeches in the mud cave. She said although the interference bomb had limited lethality against Ruined Beasts, it could temporarily hinder the Ruined Beasts’ actions. It was also effective against a Level Five Ruined Beast, so she told me to buy one from the equipment mall in the Chenhui Mine. I had initially placed it in the storage compartment of the motorboat, intending to pick them up, throw the bomb behind us, and detonate it remotely to escape safely. Later... later I was enraged and simply detonated it."

Yang Bingzhong nodded, "I see. And what about the ammo that went off?"

"That’s because I knew my ability was limited and couldn’t make full use of the ammo. Earlier, when I saw Lin Wang and Bei Lihui running out of ammo and resources, I planned to let them use it themselves after a temporary escape. I had been transferring ammo during the journey, but the camera didn’t capture the rearview where it happened," Ren Zhong sighed deeply again, "Of course, I didn’t expect these things would be used to bomb them."

Over at Yang Bingzhong’s side, there was a moment of silence, then he instead comforted Ren Zhong, "You can’t blame yourself. Those two brought it upon themselves. But I wasn’t surprised, though. Remember I told you to leave Lin Wang and sign a Second Level professional contract with me back then?"

Ren Zhong: "I remember."

"At that time, I already knew that although Lin Wang had some talent and appeared friendly, he was actually ruthless, incredibly jealous, and selfish. Whenever he encountered a young genius in town, the first thing he’d do was to smother potential threats in the cradle."

"Being able to smoothly get into his team had a lot to do with Xing Ming’s accidental death. It was also your luck, but not necessarily good luck. When I told you to leave him, it was intended to protect you."
