Sun Miao quickly realized and hurriedly turned on the computer.
He indeed hadnāt checked before, been really busy.
Sun thought it was unnecessary anyway, after all, with a stock market deity handling things, it was as steady as...
Youāre a dog!
Sun was hit with a heavy blow to his soul.
"When the avalanche comes, no snowflake is innocent."
"Famous retail investor Huang Daxian: Everyone run! The stock disaster is here! This wave is a definite loss!"
"Renowned stock analyst Li Xiaoxiao: Itās over, ten years of effort gone overnight, Iāve never seen such a disaster, Iāve liquidated everything, farewell stock market."
"Shocking, why did the entire sector suddenly plummet without any warning, is it the extinction of human nature..."
Looking at the catastrophic news headlines flashing across the screen, Sun Miaoās pupils began to dilate, he clutched his chest abruptly, unable to catch his breath.
He pointed shakily at Ren Zhong, "Damn! You... you jerk... Iām gonna fight you to the end!"
Ren Zhong blocked Sun Miao who was charging at him, "Sun bro, calm down! Didnāt I tell you, if things really go south, Iāll sell my blood to cover your losses. Hang in there Sun bro!"
The enraged and irrational Sun finally calmed himself down.
Itās not that Sun calmed down quickly, but rather, he really couldnāt win the fight.
More than ten minutes later, an emotionless Sun Miao announced an early closure of his clinic, shut the door, and then sat at the reception desk gulping down glucose solution, trying to take in more sugar to soothe his nerves.
Gulp.
He took a few more gulps, then glared angrily at Ren Zhong, raising his hand as if to say something but hesitating.
A long time passed.
He sighed deeply again.
"Cursed!" Sun Miao clenched his fist, gritting his teeth, "How could this happen! The entire market has crashed like this, even an immortal would be trapped. Damn! How long will it take you, a Second Level Professional, with your half-baked hunting skills, to gather enough to make up sixteen thousand for me? How blind was I to trust you back then, Iām ruined! Cursed!"
Seeing the atmosphere was ripe, Ren Zhong suddenly lowered his voice, "Sun bro, actually I have a backup plan."
"What?!"
"I need to apologize first. I accidentally leaked some of your information to a friend of mine back in the city."
"What! Iām gonna kill you! Iāll kill you even if itās the last thing I do! Iāll fight you to death!" Sun Miao screamed sharply, frantically unbuckling his belt, pulling out a bottle of potion glowing an eerie green, ready to inject it into his forearm.
Ren Zhong was genuinely frightened by his appearance, realizing heād gone too far, he quickly rushed forward, grabbing Sun Miaoās right wrist holding the potion, saying, "I only mentioned you worked at Mengdu Group, I didnāt say anything else! Itās not that serious, Sun bro! You were registered when you came to Starfire Town, many people know about your background! Your past isnāt a secret anymore, the present is."
"Huh? Is that so? Then itās fine." Sun Miao calmed down in an instant, "Let go."
A few seconds later, Sun Miao scolded, "Why do you talk in such an overboard manner, look at what youāve done. Almost damaged our relationship, tell me, what does your friend want to know? By the way, is he rich?"
"Super rich."
"Ah, you shouldāve said so sooner."
Ren Zhong: "First, turn off the wrist watch and internet, letās head to the basement."
"Okay."
...
Ren Zhong: "Sun bro, are you sure you can ask about anything? Even forbidden secrets?"
"I am the biggest secret of the Mengdu Group. I remind you again, if you really let my story slip..."
"I know, besides the Citizens, everyone in the town must die."
"You still scare people even knowing that. Damn."
"Anyway, my friend wants to know... um, about the Star Origin Injection Liquid. Itās the core product of Mengdu Group. How much information you can provide will decide how much money I can get. I wonāt gamble away your money anymore, Iāll make sure to get you the sixteen thousand first, wouldnāt you say Iām being decent?"
With Ren Zhongās persistent intimidation, Sun Miaoās defenses unknowingly broke down completely.
He really spilled some of his experiences at Mengdu Group.
It was then that Ren Zhong understood why Sun Miao could leave Mengdu Group alive and still dare to quietly conduct forbidden research.
He already knew Sun Miao was a senior researcher, just one step away from being a Senior Director.
But how "senior" this researcher status was, Ren Zhong wasnāt clear until now.
"Letās just say, if I was willing to lower my head, complete my tasks honestly, I only needed another two years and I could skip the Senior Director position to become the Chief Technology Officer at Mengdu Groupās R&D headquarters. When I say Iām second, basically no one would dare to surpass me."
