Resurrection Empire

Yang Bingzhong's face froze, and he didn't know how to respond.

If it were his usual self, he wouldn't need to think at all, he could fabricate lies effortlessly. Tang Shuying, who was reduced to ashes, would have been sent by him somewhere on a work assignment.

But now, his mind was reacting much slower, and after a moment, he still hadn't spoken.

It wasn't until Ren Zhong's look of confusion deepened that Yang Bingzhong awkwardly said, "I've got something confidential that I needed her to handle for me, and it'll take a few days before she's back."

Ren Zhong realized, "Oh, I see. No wonder I couldn't reach her with the wrist watch. She probably isn't wearing it, right?"

"Yes, that's right."

Ren Zhong scratched his head, "That's really unfortunate."

"No worries, I've got seven or eight girls at the villa. You can take one to relieve your frustration, try something new?"

Ren Zhong shook his head, "Thanks for your kindness, Mr. Yang. But there's no need for now. I'll head upstairs and continue monitoring the market, okay?"

"Sure, go ahead."

Ren Zhong turned around and left.

Watching Ren Zhong's back fade into the distance, and then seeing his face through the remote panoramic camera projection, Yang Bingzhong sighed in relief.

Good, Ren Zhong hasn't noticed anything unusual.

As for Tang Shuying's team members and Jiang Kai, they weren't worth discussing this with.

These people aren't worthy.

Yang Bingzhong wasn't concerned about them letting anything slip about Tang Shuying, because they hadn't witnessed anything firsthand.

They only knew they'd lost some goods, not what they were or how important they were. They had merely been subjected to a psychological examination by a telekinesis master hired by the boss, and that was the end of it.

As for Tang Shuying's "disappearance", these people didn't know the truth, and it wasn't unprecedented.

Aside from Yang Bingzhong himself and the night watchman on duty last night, no one could possibly know that Tang Shuying had already died.

Yet one person didn't need to find out to know the truth.

In the rooftop office, Ren Zhong stared blankly at the projection.

He wanted to sigh but knew that Yang Bingzhong's camera was there, and it wasn't yet time to reveal his cards.

Meanwhile, over on Yang Bingzhong's side, after various maneuvers, he finally stabilized the situation temporarily, allowing him to calmly reflect on various aspects.

Some doubts he'd previously overlooked quietly surfaced in his mind.

After a lifetime of playing games and schemes, Yang Bingzhong was not naïve like Ma Dafu, who had intelligence but was overly kind.

Though he didn't want to admit it, reason and emotion both told him it wasn't likely, yet Ren Zhong's flawless performance was too perfect, suspiciously perfect.

Yang Bingzhong became slightly, subtly suspicious.

This thought, once born, shocked him into a cold sweat.

He paced back and forth in the office, indecisive.

Coincidentally, one of the payments sent out was the Telekinesis Master's fee.

Initially, the Telekinesis Master was supposed to return by noon, but the final labor fee had not been credited, so there was a slight delay at a high-end entertainment venue in Chromium Carbon Town.

Seeing the payment arrived for real, the Telekinesis Master came to say his goodbyes.

Mr. Yang suddenly had an epiphany.

Why guess when I could just ask the Telekinesis Master to examine Ren Zhong? Wouldn't that be straightforward?

If Ren Zhong was entirely on his side, he shouldn't mind, right?

After all, the incident with the lost goods was known to all professional teams, and Ren Zhong would find out sooner or later.

All my professional team members have been through the Telekinesis Master examination, so it's not unreasonable for Ren Zhong's team to go through one too, right?

Thus, Mr. Yang asked the Telekinesis Master to wait in the office and then notified Ren Zhong.

"Ren Zhong, is there a rush with your bottom-fishing task?"

Ren Zhong: "About two to three hours left."

"Okay. Come down, there's something I need to discuss with you."

Ren Zhong went downstairs, and Yang Bingzhong briefly mentioned the incident of losing goods, then said, "The task Tang Shuying was on is related to retrieving the goods. Though I don't mean to suspect you at all, I thought since Jiang Kai and his team have undergone a psychological examination, it would be only appropriate for you and your team too; they might have opinions otherwise. Do you mind? It won't take long."

Caught off guard, Ren Zhong wasn't mentally prepared for this.

He even instantly visualized part of the reason for Tang Shuying's death.

This Telekinesis Master must have the ability to probe into people's minds.

Tang Shuying must have known about facing the Telekinesis Master today, knowing she wouldn't pass, so she chose to end her life.
