CHAPTER 511: CHAPTER 194 DETAILS CHANGE EVERYWHERE_2

"Alright, I’ll leave it to you, Old Ma. I’m not Yang Bingzhong, let me put it this way. My business principle is people-oriented! As long as my employees are willing to work hard for me, and with my skills in stock trading, there’s no way I can’t make money."

"Alien Ore? Tsk tsk, only worth a few billion, what’s the point? Now I’ve established a good mutual trust with the people of Starfire Town. I don’t want to replace them with new townsfolk, which would mean building relationships and establishing my personal image all over again. Rebuilding the town would also take a lot of time. All of this would slow down my business empire’s development speed, I just want the people of Starfire Town! Old Ma, as long as you help me, we’ll do a great job. I bet you, within ten years, you’ll see a Starfire Town with a hundred thousand people! Hahaha!"

After listening, Old Ma was undoubtedly left bewildered.

Old Ma asked confusedly, "Didn’t you agree to take the wastelanders with your team to build a new town elsewhere? What’s this about? Could it be that you have a way to deal with the Cold-blooded Butcher?"

Ren Zhong chuckled, assuming the demeanor of a billionaire boss, "Old Ma. I always have my ways. You just need to know that I won’t harm anyone."

"Hey, wait..."

"Let’s leave it at that for now, I have to bottom-fish, very busy, talk later."

Old Ma shouted, "Wait!"

But Ren Zhong ignored him and directly hung up the communication with a click.

Old Ma would surely have many doubts in his heart, but that didn’t matter, it wouldn’t affect Old Ma’s work.

After ten minutes or so, as Ma Xiaoling entered the Virtual Reality training, she asked, "What did you just say to my dad? He seemed a bit off."

Ren Zhong chuckled, "Nothing much, how does he seem to be feeling now?"

Ma Xiaoling thought for a long while, "Pretty conflicted, like he’s blaming himself, but also suddenly full of fighting spirit, and a bit anxious."

Ren Zhong was taken aback, "You’re really good at reading people!"

Ma Xiaoling proudly said, "Of course!"

"But I’m also good at reading people."

"How so?"

"You reached Fifth Level, right?"

Ma Xiaoling was shocked, "How did you know that!"

Ren Zhong continued, "You probably leveled up too hard while using the bathroom, right?"

Ma Xiaoling gasped, "Hiss~~"

Yang Bingzhong is dead; Tang Shuying is alive; Sun Miao has a chance of resurrection, and the project has hope too; there are also some new ideas on how to deal with the Cold-blooded Butcher.

The only pain point for Ren Zhong now is Bai Feng. Feeling a little more relaxed than last time, he’s in the mood to joke around with Ma Xiaoling.

Ren Zhong was feeling proud, but suddenly Ma Xiaoling across from him flew into a rage.

"You said you didn’t secretly touch my body while I was asleep? Prepare to die!"

Ma Xiaoling charged forward with her gun.

Even though this was Virtual Reality, Ren Zhong could still feel her overpowering momentum.

"No, I didn’t, really!"

"Then how could you possibly know that I advanced to Fifth Level today, and did so in the bathroom! No matter what you say, I won’t believe you! Just wait until you come back to Starfire Town, I’ll get back at you."

The seemingly all-seeing and all-knowing Ren Zhong finally experienced what it means to suffer from excessive happiness.

...

The 67th day, at a quarter past seven in the morning.

Ren Zhong met with Jiang Kai and others again in his office.

He smiled slightly, deciding to tell a lie.

"Do you want to know why yesterday after Yang Bingzhong discovered the loss of the Alien Ore, he didn’t end up killing you?"

Jiang Kai and the others looked at each other and shook their heads.

Ren Zhong continued, "At that time, Yang Bingzhong told me about Captain Tang’s death. He also asked if I wanted you to be buried with Captain Tang. I didn’t know about the Alien Ore then, and I only told him that dead people cannot be resurrected, that although you may not have accomplishments, you did put in hard work, and that Captain Tang’s death was not your fault. I pleaded for your case to him. Analyzing this after the fact, perhaps my words calmed him down from his anger over the loss of the Alien Ore and made him change his mind."

Everyone was stunned at first, then suddenly recalled Yang Bingzhong’s change in expression last night, and immediately understood.

Yang Bingzhong inexplicably changed from deadly to kind, at the time they only knew they had narrowly escaped death, never realizing there was this twist behind it.

Jiang Kai expressed his gratitude, "Thank you for saving our lives, General Ren."

Ren Zhong waved his hand.

"It was just a small effort. You and I hail from Starfire Town, it’s what I should do. Well, enough small talk, my next plan is to return to Starfire Town! What are your plans?"

In the end, four people decided to return to Starfire Town with Ren Zhong, one more than last time.

The subtle changes in mindset lead to different decisions.

...

"Speak up, who sent you here?"

On the way back from Chromium Carbon Town to Starfire Town, Ren Zhong, who entered the cockpit, placed the Flame-cutting Giant Blade against the pilot’s neck.

This person, suddenly terrified, had his skin quickly blacken, and patches of crocodile-like scales uncontrollably emerged.

Feeling the terrifying high energy of the Flame-cutting Giant Blade next to his neck, the professional desperado spoke tremblingly, "S... Sir, I don’t understand what you’re saying."

"How much did Ma Shu pay you?"

"Five million. Oh no! Who is Ma Shu?"

Ren Zhong looked at him with a fake smile.

The Armored Soldier cried out loudly, "No, I really don’t know Ma Shu. A middleman found me, but I really don’t know who the mastermind is! I don’t know!"

Ren Zhong continued smiling, "I now give you two choices. Confess honestly and sign a five-year contract with top authority with me. Or die now. Or shall I bring in the Telekinesis Master for a psychological check?"

"Sir, I really don’t know. But I did take five million from someone to kill you. The other party told me you’re just a quasi-Fourth Level professional, wearing a Third Level Exoskeleton, and after seeing your file, I thought the odds were in my favor, so I accepted the job."

"Really?"

"You can bring in a Telekinesis Master to see if I’m lying."

Ren Zhong called Jiang Kai in, "Give him a suppressant injection, then tie him up. Who among you can fly the airship?"

"I can!"

The strong man from Captain Tang’s team raised his hand.

"Then you do it."

Ren Zhong returned to the VIP cabin.

As for the assassin, he was securely tied and placed in the ordinary cabin, watched closely by Jiang Kai and the other three Fourth Level professionals.

Sitting in the comfy sofa, Ren Zhong thought for a moment, and dialed the number from the card he memorized last time with Ma Shu’s contact code.

Ma Shu: "Who are you?"

Ren Zhong: "I’m your dad."

[Asking for monthly tickets! It’s the end of the month!]
