Yang Bingzhongâs face froze, and he didnât know how to respond.
If it were his usual self, he wouldnât 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 hadnât spoken.
It wasnât until Ren Zhongâs look of confusion deepened that Yang Bingzhong awkwardly said, "Iâve got something confidential that I needed her to handle for me, and itâll take a few days before sheâs back."
Ren Zhong realized, "Oh, I see. No wonder I couldnât reach her with the wrist watch. She probably isnât wearing it, right?"
"Yes, thatâs right."
Ren Zhong scratched his head, "Thatâs really unfortunate."
"No worries, Iâve 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 thereâs no need for now. Iâll head upstairs and continue monitoring the market, okay?"
"Sure, go ahead."
Ren Zhong turned around and left.
Watching Ren Zhongâs back fade into the distance, and then seeing his face through the remote panoramic camera projection, Yang Bingzhong sighed in relief.
Good, Ren Zhong hasnât noticed anything unusual.
As for Tang Shuyingâs team members and Jiang Kai, they werenât worth discussing this with.
These people arenât worthy.
Yang Bingzhong wasnât concerned about them letting anything slip about Tang Shuying, because they hadnât witnessed anything firsthand.
They only knew theyâd 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 Shuyingâs "disappearance", these people didnât know the truth, and it wasnât 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 didnât 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 Bingzhongâs camera was there, and it wasnât yet time to reveal his cards.
Meanwhile, over on Yang Bingzhongâs side, after various maneuvers, he finally stabilized the situation temporarily, allowing him to calmly reflect on various aspects.
Some doubts heâd previously overlooked quietly surfaced in his mind.
After a lifetime of playing games and schemes, Yang Bingzhong was not naĂŻve like Ma Dafu, who had intelligence but was overly kind.
Though he didnât want to admit it, reason and emotion both told him it wasnât likely, yet Ren Zhongâs 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 Masterâs 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? Wouldnât that be straightforward?
If Ren Zhong was entirely on his side, he shouldnât 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 itâs not unreasonable for Ren Zhongâs 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, thereâs 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 donât 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 wonât take long."
Caught off guard, Ren Zhong wasnât mentally prepared for this.
He even instantly visualized part of the reason for Tang Shuyingâs death.
This Telekinesis Master must have the ability to probe into peopleâs minds.
Tang Shuying must have known about facing the Telekinesis Master today, knowing she wouldnât pass, so she chose to end her life.
