Ben froze and his lips pursed into a straight line. He quickly regained his composure and said, “What does having my fingerprints on this book signify?”

“On the other hand, if you can discover this, it means that you’ve also been to M’s house. After she died, you were the one who took control of her belongings and no one had the chance to touch them. Shouldn’t you explain this strange and unusual behavior?”

“I couldn’t get M’s belongings from the Ministry of Defense, that’s why I sneaked into her house to look for something to keep as a keepsake to keep me company…”

Two high-ranking Special Agents from the Ministry of Defense were arguing over the legendary M. While the other Special Agents were astonished, they also imagined many beautiful and intimate scenes. Only Wu Mei cast an inquisitive and suspicious gaze on K.?He’s the one who took control of her belongings?

Recalling K’s various abnormal behavior and actions, Wu Mei’s suspicion towards him grew.

Ben stood up and left the meeting room angrily. K turned around and met Wu Mei’s eyes. Sensing the complicated and vigilant emotions in her eyes, K frowned in confusion, thinking that Wu Mei had developed some resentment for him because of her mentor, Ben. Before he left, he said, “Let me know if you need anything.”

At the same time, a press conference was about to be held in the banquet hall on the ground floor of the Li Corporation. A large number of shareholders had gathered here with worried expressions on their faces. They stared at the message they had received with slight anxiety and unease. All of them had quite a number of loose shares in their hands, and their assets were falling and shrinking by the hour.

Wu Mei and Li Nanchen were both busy dealing with the Viper Organization and did not manage to clarify the “death news” in time.

Only a small circle of people in the financial industry had received the intel. Various social and news media outlets were still reporting negative news about the Li Corporation incessantly, including many that Li Zhuo and Li Yanghong had deliberately spread. They were attempting to buy up the Li Corporation’s shares en masse, and hoarding them to wait for the stock price to rise to make a killing.

Li Zhuo could even collate his loose shares together and have a decisive say amongst the shareholders’ board of directors.

They hired shareholders to spread rumors around and slandered the Li Corporation’s current situation. In the banquet hall, they were hiding in a dark corner. They tugged on the shareholders beside them and incited them, “Stop observing! My relatives work in the corporation. According to them, they can’t hold on any longer!”

“In a few more days, the stock price will drop even more…”

“We all trust the Li Corporation, that’s why we spent our life’s fortune on them in the stock market. Don’t wait for the company to go bankrupt before pulling back!”

Such critical comments spread rapidly. Standing backstage, Li Zhuo saw the shares his assistant had bought and smiled smugly.

The press conference was held on time. Li Zhuo held the microphone and walked to the podium. With a pained and serious expression, he faced the camera and said, “Everyone, please be quiet!”

“I know you guys are very worried about the Li Corporation’s situation. Please believe us. We will definitely do our best to maintain normal operations. Everyone, please give us some time. The corporation’s current situation is very chaotic. We need time to adjust and set sail again…”

“Please have confidence in the Li Corporation. We will definitely not disappoint all of you.”

Li Zhuo said these disturbing things in a comforting tone. As expected, the shareholders shouted in panic, “You guys just make it sound good!”

“Are you the person in charge of the Li Corporation? We want to see the President…”

Li Zhuo was silent for a long time in agony, but he refused to talk about the fact that Li Nanchen was not dead. He simply let the shareholders panic…

Wu Mei was fiddling with her phone when she suddenly came across the live broadcast of the press conference. Li Zhuo’s provocative words rang out in the quiet office. She and Li Nanchen exchanged glances. Both of them quickly got up and took the elevator to the scene.

Wu Mei signaled for the bodyguards to take control of the place again. She also signaled for the sound engineer to mute Li Zhuo’s microphone. Her appearance made the shareholders confused and they stopped shouting, trying to speculate her identity.

Panic-stricken, Li Zhuo was about to speak when he realized that there was no sound coming from his microphone. Indignantly, he banged on it twice and stared at Wu Mei with a frown.

“The fluctuation of the Li Corporation’s stock price is actually caused by someone behind the scenes. They are using this method to buy the shares back at a low price to reap profits for themselves.”

Wu Mei pointed at Li Zhuo and said, “He’s the one who spread the rumors and caused panic!”

“All the shares that you sold were bought back by him in secret. Everyone’s share dumping now is what will cause you irreparable losses!”

The shareholders below the stage started to whisper to each other.. However, Li Zhuo waved his hand and refused to admit to her accusation.
