Resurrection Empire-Chapter 849 - 324: Security Measures in Name Only, Wang Dingyuan’s Desperate Gamble (Part 3)

After a simple interrogation of the two, Ren Zhong was about to let the airship head to Chongyi County, when he saw Ou Youning rushing in from outside the airship's cockpit, looking panic-stricken, "Boss, something's wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"Boss, a fire has broken out beneath the elevator passage of the lab you just discovered. I measured the temperature of the flames, and it's very high. Everything inside will surely be burned to ashes."

Ren Zhong was momentarily stunned.

After a long while, he shook his head.

He had underestimated Wang Dingyuan's cautiousness.

He hadn't expected that even after they had completely turned the place over last time, they still hadn't found the second double insurance—high-temperature incineration.

Incinerating at high temperatures might not be as straightforward as detonating a bomb, but it can destroy most of the data, giving the Wang family of Chongyi a chance to deny and distance themselves from it.

Moreover, due to the nature of the Alien Ore, it wouldn't be destroyed in the fire, allowing the Wang family, as the local residents of Nangao Town, to still claim credit for excavating the Alien Ore.

After all, once the lab is exposed, the Wang family's capabilities won't allow them to keep the Alien Ore, so they might as well hand it over honestly.

This way, the Association wouldn't conduct a full-scale psychological examination on the Wang family, and Wang Dingyuan, with his numerous allies to back him, would have a chance to muddle through.

Ren Zhong told Ou Youning to remain calm over there, but on the other side, he received bad news from Xiao Xingyue.

Wang Jinsou had gone mad.

Not pretending, truly insane.

Wang Dingyuan had shown his decisive side.

Once the top-secret lab was exposed, the fewer who knew, the better.

Additionally, Wang Dingyuan allowed Zheng Dafa to assemble a self-destructing heavy sniper rifle inside Tianyuan Military Industry, so he must know that his good son attempted to assassinate Ren Zhong.

Now, not only is Ren Zhong alive and well, but he's also turned the tables and killed Zhen Jihu, and a big explosion has occurred in Nangao Town. An investigation targeting Wang Jinsou is bound to start immediately.

Wang Dingyuan had eyes everywhere in Chongyi County, and Xiao Xingyue's Telekinesis Master's vehicle rushing to Chongyi County couldn't escape his eyes.

Rather than let the entire Wang family's fate be dragged down by Wang Jinsou, it was better to cut losses early and sacrifice the incompetent eldest son in advance.

Upon hearing this news, Ren Zhong felt a tinge of emotion.

Previously, when he launched an offensive against the Wang family of Chongyi, he had won quite easily.

If Ying Hao hadn't held him back at the last critical moment, he would have already destroyed the entire Wang family and swallowed Tianyuan Military Industry.

He once thought that Wang Dingyuan was nothing special.

Now it seems that Wang Dingyuan somewhat has his abilities, but due to many influencing factors at the time, he repeatedly misjudged and lost consecutively.

If Ren Zhong were just an ordinary Fifth Level Citizen and not interested in the Wang family of Chongyi, then things would have ended at this point.

Unfortunately, Ren Zhong was not, and this was just his appetizer.

As soon as Ren Zhong arrived in Chongyi County, Wang Dingyuan almost simultaneously rushed back from Yangsheng City by airship to take charge.

Ren Zhong then did three things.

First, he mobilized funds to inject into the stock short selling account, quietly buying up the short selling capacity of Tianyuan Military Industry through timed subscriptions.

Second, he had Xiao Xingyue conduct a formal certified psychological examination on Zheng Dafa and Ding Canghai, confirming Wang Jinsou's attempt to assassinate Ren Zhong, a Fifth Level Citizen, through verbal suggestion. He then had Zheng and Ding record some tearful accusations while in a sober state.

Third, Ren Zhong directly sent the recorded video to Wang Dingyuan.

Five minutes later, Ren Zhong received a communication from Wang Dingyuan, "President Ren, shall we talk? Can you set a place?"

Ren Zhong smiled slightly, "Okay."

Half an hour later, the two billionaires formally met at the doorway of a conference room at Alson Hotel in the central district of Chongyi County.

Wang Dingyuan brought over a dozen bodyguards, but Ren Zhong was alone.

Wang Dingyuan said with a smile, "I've long heard that Mr. Ren is young and promising, and I've admired you for a long time; indeed, meeting you today proves your reputation true."

Ren Zhong also smiled, "I've also long heard that Mr. Wang, the Steering Man of the Wang family of Chongyi, is astute and ruthless. Today, I've also witnessed Mr. Wang's brave action of cutting off a dead limb, and I am greatly impressed."

Wang Dingyuan's mouth slightly twitched as he pointed to the conference room door, "Shall we discuss inside?"

Ren Zhong: "Sure."

The door opened automatically, and the two walked in side by side.

The bodyguards were about to follow when Wang Dingyuan motioned them to step back.

The head bodyguard was slightly nervous, "Boss..."

Wang Dingyuan looked at Ren Zhong, "Mr. Ren is also alone, not even wearing gear. If I take you all in with me, it's not polite. We are all civilized people, high-level citizens, and wouldn't easily joke with our lives. You have nothing to worry about."

"Alright, Boss. But Ren Zhong, he... He after all..."

The bodyguard head wanted to say that Ren Zhong, even without gear, was an actual high-level Mechanical Warrior, of unknown rank, but having just killed Zhen Jihu, his capabilities were enough to prove his skills.

The Boss's actions were indeed somewhat risky.

But seeing Wang Dingyuan's brow frown, as if about to get angry, the bodyguard leader quickly shut up and stepped aside.
