Chapter 743 281: Past Events Are Like Smoke

While outsiders were separately focusing on Wang Jinsou's arrest and Ren Zhong's renowned Fourth Level battling against Level Six and advancing during the battle, the two individuals involved reached a "friendly" agreement in their private communications.

After disconnecting the call, Ren Zhong shrugged.

Wang Dingyuan's words were as follows.

"Mr. Ren, I do care deeply about my eldest son. However, your demands are too exaggerated and simply not feasible. Tianyuan Military Industry's current market value is over 860 billion. Although I, Wang Dingyuan, am fortunate to head Tianyuan Military Industry, the Wang family only holds an 80% stake."

"Another 20% of the shares belong to different prominent figures. These bigwigs, neither you nor I can afford to offend. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the Wang family acts like workers for these influential individuals. If I draw out 150 billion in cash flow from the company, it would cause significant damage to the company. These people would never agree."

"Moreover, although Jinshou is my eldest son with legal inheritance rights, in my mind, he's not worth 150 billion. After all, the Wang family is vast, and Jinshou is not my only son."

"Mr. Ren, I came here with sincerity. However, your offer tramples on my sincerity. At worst, we will meet in court. I don't believe a mere baseless accusation can truly sentence a Seventh Level Citizen inheritor to death."

"Mr. Ren, you should know very well. There are many debatable aspects in the review process announced by the Telekinesis Master Institutes. I trust in the fairness of the law! Mr. Ren, think it over carefully. I'll contact you again tomorrow."

Wang Dingyuan's words revealed many things.

Ren Zhong understood everything, even anticipating some of it beforehand.

But he was not in a hurry.

The opponent's stubborn resistance was within his expectations.

The storyline never deviated from his script.

He could even predict that in some unseen place, a battle without smoke was erupting because of him.

And indeed it was.

In the Supreme Elder Council chamber of Upper Origin Capital, the Promotion Association led by Ying Hao was facing unprecedented resistance.

The Comprador faction launched a fierce attack on the Promotion Association.

A group of people relentlessly pursued Ying Hao's excessive favoritism towards Ren Zhong, as well as Xiao Xingyue's irregularities during the arrest process.

The tricks played by Ren Zhong and Xiao Xingyue seemed clever but could not actually fool these seasoned people.

The perception manipulated and controlled was only that of the ordinary onlookers.

In the eyes of truly intelligent individuals, it was still full of loopholes.

No matter how much Wang Jinsou's verbal expressions during the psychological examination seemed like those of a real hitman, "seemed" was still just "seemed." It was not "is."

Inference could only remain inference, not conclusive evidence.

There was not a 100% direct correlation between Wang Jinsou's hatred toward Ren Zhong and Zheng Dafa's unauthorized actions.

Every aspect here is debatable and open to attack.

In fact, these top-level figures on Source Star were not trying to uphold justice for Wang Jinsou.

They had never even interacted with the Wang family father and son. Wang Dingyuan's network could not reach that far.

The essential cause of the dispute lay in the inherent contradiction brought by the differing stances of the Comprador faction and the Promotion faction.

What the enemy supports, we naturally oppose.

This was a rare oversight by the otherwise infallible Ying Hao, presenting a great opportunity.

Using this as a turning point and cut-in, launching an attack against Ying Hao, and opportunistically pinning accusations of framing, false allegations, and abuse of power onto Ren Zhong, the new favorite of Ying Hao, and Xiao Xingyue, the seasoned favorite.

Then, Ying Hao would have to pay a significant price to sweep the matter under the rug.

By that time, the cost would far exceed the capacity of a mere Tianyuan Military Industry to cover.

At the meeting, the Comprador faction used facts as a starting point, further expanding the issue to whether the heirs of upper-level citizens and high-level citizens should have equal legal rights. They continued to discuss Xiao Xingyue's unauthorized deployment of special forces for direct apprehension and on-site psychological examination, which had an impact on the other upper-level citizen heirs.

The Comprador faction was full of remarkable statements.

"If this continues, the country will cease to be a country."

"A thousand miles of dams can be destroyed by ant holes."

"This is a massive challenge to the Source Star system that has been executed for hundreds of years!"

"What exactly is the Promotion Association trying to do? Are you trying to overturn the entire citizen system?"

"Power must never be above rules!"

"Public power must outweigh private power!"

"Procedural justice must be defended!"

...

Ying Hao, on the other hand, argued based on reason.
