Chapter 20 The Hand of Interest

In the desolate wilderness, a lot of smoke and dust were everywhere, and a fleet of cars and motorcycles drove away. Gene quietly looked at the number of armed forces that had just been counted. There were a total of 145 groups, which was another large amount of supplies.

I had just called Locke and sent the information. Locke cried and hoped that Gene could continue to talk to these armed forces to reduce the amount of supplies, but Gene ruthlessly refused.

He Min had already gone to the east to observe the situation. Gene also planned to go to the east. At this time, the phone rang again. Gene found a piece of exposed rock and sat on it and answered the phone.

"Gene, is it really okay? They are going to hijack the press conference of Sanlian Company."

"Believe me, don't tell anyone before I come back. This is for your own good."

Le Xiao hummed, and the tone of voice was much softer. He hummed a little shyly, and he was about to say something but stopped.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

"Can't it be solved peacefully? How about I go to Section 2 and take care of it first?"

Before Le Xiao finished speaking, Gene interrupted her seriously.

"The conflict has reached a point where it cannot be reconciled. Even if you do anything, it will be useless. Didn't you say before that those rioters don't trust Congress?"

"Is it because Congress is protecting Sanlian Company, Gene? I've been feeling dizzy recently. No one will feel comfortable. I've been eating low-quality and toxic food for so many years. Can you tell me which side you are on?"

Gene lit a cigarette and took a long puff, then looked at the brilliant city in the distance.

"Stand on the side of those who work hard for life under the sun. Okay, Miss Le Xiao, remember what I said, don't tell anyone."

After hanging up the phone, Gene took a deep puff. The cigarette was burning quickly. He exhaled a puff of thick smoke and looked to the east. He bent down slightly, put his hands in his pockets, and smiled at the moment the cigarette butt burned out.

Boom

Gene rushed out instantly, like a blue lightning, and in less than a second he had reached a few hundred meters away. The moment he stepped on the ground, sand and rocks flew everywhere, and everything on the ground seemed to be rolled over by a road roller, and there was only fine dust in the concave places.

Gene moved at a speed invisible to the naked eye through such movement. Most mutants can accelerate by stepping on the ground at such a moment. Strong mutants can reach the speed of sound, and Gene's speed at this time has already exceeded the speed of sound.

Accompanied by bursts of bangs, pits on the ground, Gene's body flashed a layer of light blue light, like an enchanting flame. The moment he encountered an obstacle, Gene widened his eyes, and the obstacle turned into dust in an instant.

Galloping in such a vast and silent wilderness, Gene was more aware of what would happen next. The script had been written, not by him. Section 2 should have noticed Le Xiao's actions, because as Le Xiao's guarantor, although she had obtained a high level of confidentiality on the surface and the threat level was reduced to 0, the same surveillance authority had reached the highest level.

As long as she disappeared from the tracking surveillance for more than an hour, Section 2 would immediately respond. However, according to what Le Xiao said, after she was kidnapped, she was underground for a whole day, but Section 2 did not take any action.

Congress may have written a script and planned to expose the affairs of Sanlian Company, and all the blame would be borne by Sanlian Company. What Gene had thought before was to let Sanlian Company take the initiative to admit its mistakes, and then use the insufficient grain production as a certain excuse, and then give quick and reasonable compensation to minimize the impact on the entire society.

However, things did not go as planned. Sanlian Company probably wanted to continue to suppress the matter. Gene did this to promote the establishment of the agricultural experimental base in the barrier area. Unfortunately, everything changed because of the resolute uncooperative attitude of the people of Sanlian Company and the calculations of the guys in Congress.

With a loud bang, Gene stopped, and the ground sank a lot. He smiled coldly.

A phone rang, and Gene looked at an unfamiliar number and picked it up.

"Is that Gene? This is Qian Jiazhen. Can you come to the company to talk?"

"Sorry, I don't have time."

Gene decisively refused, but soon the other end of the phone panicked, and there were several terrified voices.

"A price of 50 million, Gene, you help us settle the matter, and we can give you some money afterwards."

Gene did not answer but lit a cigarette and looked up.

"100 million is okay? Gene, I admit that we were blinded by the interests, but under the current circumstances, only you have the ability to solve the problem. We will hand over the formula of the particle level of the food, and everything will be done according to your words."

The woman on the phone now, Baochun, was a little incoherent, and it was unknown what she was saying.

"If you had promised me a few days ago, things would still be within control. Your company would have to pay at most, and it would not disappear. Now everything is too late. When Congress issued the orange alert order, everything was out of control."

"Wait Gene, you must have another way, 500 million, we will pay 500 million"

Gene exhaled a puff of smoke softly, and finally said one sentence.

"A bunch of virtual numbers, nothing can be changed."

Gene hung up the phone, looked at the dilapidated town in front of him, and walked over slowly.

The long-suppressed problem must have a breakthrough, but now Gene is not going to pay attention to this breakthrough. The biggest problem is on the way to being solved. As long as he has interviewed more than 80% of the armed forces in the barrier area, the most threatening point for this urban crisis will be solved.

Gene had just taken a few steps when a number 00002 called. Gene frowned and was reluctant to answer, but soon a string of text appeared on the phone screen.

Hurry up and answer it, Gene. If you don’t answer it, I won’t be polite when you come back. I harass you every day, changing the way I harass you. Have you forgotten the days when I tortured you.

"Hello."

"Asshole Gene, dare not answer my call, do you want to die? You came that day and didn't even look at me and left. If Lillian hadn't told me secretly, I wouldn't know, you are an absolute asshole"

Gene moved the phone away from his ear. After nearly 10 minutes of cursing, all he heard from the phone was panting.

"Have a drink of water first, Xiaolan."

The voice of a young girl on the other end of the phone was Mo Xiaolan, the head of the Second City Crisis Countermeasures Analysis and Processing Section.

"Gene, I'm telling you, I'm calling you for our friendship."

"Got it, hurry up."

After a while, Mo Xiaolan's voice became heavy and gloomy.

"The order from Congress has come down, but I'm still letting you know. How do you plan to solve it? Tomorrow everything will change dramatically, and Congress will also take your opinions into consideration."

"You can do whatever you want."

Gene hung up the phone without waiting for Mo Xiaolan to continue speaking, and immediately set up a phone message blocking, but soon there were other strange calls and Mo Xiaolan's cursing messages. Gene threw away the cigarette butt and turned off the phone.

Killing two birds with one stone, Gene had roughly guessed the means of Congress. The group of rioters had been preparing for this plan for many years, and the city had been infiltrated, and even many people in the barrier area were ready to go.

During the negotiation with these armed forces, Gene warned them sternly, and brought up the matter of the agricultural experimental base in the Barrier Zone, and gave them supplies, which successfully stabilized the situation.

This incident not only disintegrated the plan of the rioters in one fell swoop, but also solved the long-standing rumors of food problems in the city. Let the Sanlian Company take the blame, check all the assets of the Sanlian Company, and let Congress make special food. Although this is unfair to many businessmen, it is good for people in the sun, which is convenient for supervision, because it is very likely that a second Sanlian Company will appear in a few years.

There was once a famous academic work that said that businessmen are a group of monsters chasing profits. When the profit reaches 10%, they begin to move, but when the profit reaches 50%, they can take risks. When the profit reaches 100%, they dare to trample on all laws in the world, and when the profit reaches 300%, they dare to risk the death penalty.

"That's all for this time."

Looking back at the dazzling city again, Gene smiled

Inside the prison tower

The wise man was handcuffed, he smiled awkwardly, looking at Jewel next to him with a serious face.

"Where are you taking me, Jewel?"

But soon Jewel unhandled the wise man without saying a word, and when he pushed him into a secret room, he stuffed a blade into his pocket in 0.1 seconds. The wise man couldn't see it at this speed, but the faint nausea in the prison uniform pocket instantly made him clearly understand that he was about to die.

In the room, several staff members wearing black uniforms with a white scale pattern on a gold background and the word 1 on them, the 1st City Management Section, although they need to hand over to the General Affairs Section, but most of the time they hand over to the Congress and are directly responsible for all the instructions of the Congress.

One of the young men smiled and held a glass of water in front of the wise man.

"Sit down, we are here to ask you a little bit today."

As they spoke, several people from Section 1 came behind the wise man.

"You don't need to mobilize so many troops. You are here, right? When Gene came over that day, I didn't reveal anything about the food, or anything hidden deeper. There is surveillance as evidence. I just want to spend my old age in peace."

Suddenly, the person behind him took out a black thin rope, and the wise man sneered and continued.

"If I die here today, Gene will know everything. With his character, do you think some people can get away with it? I helped you indirectly this time. Gene also solved the two core problems, the antidote and the armed forces in the fortress area. If you don't believe it, you can try it. If you really want to see that monster come back, you can kill me."

As he said this, the wise man took out a blade from his pocket, but soon his neck was strangled. He widened his eyes in anger. The door of the room opened and a smell of smoke came in.

"Stop it."

As Jewel said this, the people around him retreated.

"You are a wise man, Jewell. After all, that guy is a real monster. I will help you keep the secret, but you have to let me live in the upper cell. If Gene finds out about the problem, I can give you some advice. How about that?"

Jewell sat opposite the wise man, took out a cigarette, lit it and handed it to the wise man. He took a leisurely breath and revealed a sinister smile.

"The monster Jean has stabilized in the past few years. If you are able to subdue him, you don't need to keep me alive. After all, I am the one who knows the monster best."

Jewell nodded solemnly.

"I can trade with you, but you have to find a way after Jean comes back."

At this time, the wise man laughed even more arrogantly.

"At the end of the season, check it out carefully. What he is investigating is very dangerous."

Jewell's eyes widened, he immediately stood up, took out his phone and turned around.

A drop of sweat seeped out from the wise man's forehead, and the fingers holding the cigarette trembled slightly. He survived again, relying on his free acting skills, understanding of the situation, and Gene's death-free medal for some people. Deterrence of people.

"We must find a way to get Jean to take me away, otherwise I will definitely die here."

Just after dawn, Le Xiao was woken up by a rapid knock on the door at 5 o'clock in the morning.

Shi Ke and Mana stood at the door.

"It's time to start taking action. Today is Sanlian's press conference."

Le Xiao was shocked, but when she thought of her mother, she could only nod and start getting ready.

Everything began to burn quietly, just like the rising red sun, the light radiated into the city little by little, and the shadowed corners under the light began to light up.

Outside the building of Sanlian Company in Zhuque South District, it was already crowded with people just after 7 o'clock. More than 500 reporters were present. All media wanted to get first-hand information from here. The security personnel at the door had already formed a human wall. At this time, the crowd in the distance became commotion. Under the protection of the mutants, all the heads of Sanlian Company walked towards this direction, and reporters immediately swarmed up.

Le Xiao was dragged by Mana to walk quickly in the surging crowd, but she still felt a little weak all over.

At this time, Le Xiao saw the three founders of Sanlian Company entering the company building under the escort of security personnel with ashen faces.

“What a God-send.”

Shi Ke smiled coldly, and Mana also laughed. Le Xiao heard early this morning that most of the people in the 3rd Military Section and the 5th Public Security Management Section went to the middle and lower levels. Once the problem breaks out, blood will flow. Conflict is inevitable.
