I’ll Add Points To All Things
chapter-777

After tapping his fingers on the table for a while, Wang Jiang seemed to have thought of something. He looked up and said, "Then, have you ever suspected that something's amiss?"

The uniformed man said, "I have, but I couldn't find anything."

Wang Jiang asked, "What do you mean?"

The uniformed man explained, "Because Wang Jue's movements were too abnormal, the first thing our experts received were threats or tip-offs."

"However, we couldn't find anything related to his phone records or chat history, so… We suspect that the people around him were the ones who received the message, or… He used a second phone number."

Wang Jiang nodded slightly because he had also had the same thought earlier.

Then, the uniformed man said, "However, the strange thing is, when we filtered all of his phone calls during that period, we noticed that they were all normal calls.

"These calls were either from Shanghai or from people who had come to Shanghai for business. Furthermore, they were all registered under their actual names, so there was nothing unusual about his incoming or outgoing calls."

"So, our investigation into why Wang Jue left the hotel in a hurry that night has come to an impasse."

Hearing this, Wang Jiang closed his eyes and continued to tap on the table.

After a while, he opened his eyes and asked, "Did the surveillance cameras capture him after he got onto the Sea Bridge?"

The man shook his head. "That's the weird thing, it didn't. The camera only recorded him getting onto the bridge, but from the moment he got onto the bridge, no other cameras were able to catch onto him."

He wiped his sweat and added, "The camera closest to the toll station is about 1.5 kilometers away from the toll gate. But, there's no image of Wang Jue's car on the bridge."

Wang Jiang looked at him with a dark expression. "Are you trying to tell me that a hacker hacked the road surveillance system?"

The uniformed man wiped his sweat again. He was obviously panicking, but he had to force himself to say, "We've actually made a lot of assumptions. But… This assumption is probably the least science fictional."

Wang Jiang knocked on the table. "In that case, tell me then, even if he hacked into the road surveillance system, how did he make a car disappear into thin air?"

The uniformed man coughed and said, "A tsunami did it."

Wang Jiang frowned when he heard this. Even though he was not angry, he still seemed intimidating. In fact, even the temperature in the room seemed to have dropped several degrees.

Then, he looked at the uniformed man and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

The uniformed man said, "We checked the surveillance footage from that day. We found that five minutes after Wang Jue went onto the bridge, there was an incident where a wave crashed into the bridge.

"We also found witnesses, and they confirmed that they were driving as usual when a huge wave rushed over from afar and crashed into the bridge.

"So, we suspect that someone took Wang Jue away when the waves crashed into the bridge."

Wang Jiang looked at the uniformed man expressionlessly. "Are you telling me that someone can control the sea? The waves even?"

The uniformed man wiped the sweat from his forehead. "We don't think it's as far as to be able to control it. Rather, we think someone's able to influence it."

He took out two documents and placed them on the table. Then he said, "For the past two days, I've asked someone to look into it. Based on the data on the Sea Bridge that day, it's impossible for such a huge wave to appear normally.

"This means that the wave was an abnormal phenomenon.

"So, I've asked experts if it could be man-made, which they said was possible. For example, if we find a node of the waves and place a detonator inside. By influencing the undersea current, it can further influence the waves.

"This way, there is a chance of creating a huge wave."

Wang Jiang revealed a thoughtful expression.

During that time, the man did not continue and he waited patiently for Wang Jiang to think.

After a while, Wang Jiang's gaze landed on the man in uniform again. "This should only be theoretical, right? Is it actually doable in real life?"

The uniformed man shook his head and said, "It can't be done, so it's indeed theoretical.

"However… There really is no other logical explanation."

Wang Jiang's eyes narrowed. "So… You're trying to send me a hint. Even though the world can't actualize this kind of technology right now, there's a company… That can do it?"

The uniformed man lowered his head when he heard this.

Wang Jiang looked out the window and said slowly, "That company is… Jiadian Group.

"Since they have so much technology that surpasses modern technology, they might have the technology to detonate the seabed and turn it into waves."

The uniformed man nodded. "Yes."

Then he added, "But... That's just our guess. We also checked the bottom of the Sea Bridge, and the two-sided surveillance cameras, but we didn't find any footage or traces of there being an explosion."

Wang Jiang chuckled. "There might not be such evidence. After all, they might not have relied on a detonator to create a huge wave. There might be other ways."

"But... They have become more suspicious though."

At this point, he retracted his gaze and slammed the table. "Since we can't find any information from Wang Jue, we'll check from Jiadian Group to see if there's anything fishy going on there."

The man started to sweat even more. "It's not that we don't want to investigate, but we can't, sir.

"Even though Shanghai has given us a lot of support, they've rejected anything that involved Jiadian Group."

Wang Jiang's expression darkened. "They won't even do it for my sake?"

The uniformed man said softly, "I've asked around. It's said that this is Old Master Jiang's idea. So, we're not allowed to investigate Jiadian Group."

Wang Jiang was speechless when he heard this.

Then, He was silent for a while before gritting his teeth. "Old Master Jiang…"

After a while, he waved at the uniformed man, who tactfully left the study.

After the man left, Wang Jiang picked up a phone from the table and dialed a number.

"I need your help.

"My son is missing.

"I want to look up information on Jiadian Group and the people related to the company.

"I know that it's confidential, but my son is missing!

"The higher-ups haven't given the order yet, have they? It's just Old Master Jiang! How long do you need to investigate it, give me a time? I just want to know the truth! Are you not even going to help me?!"

Wang Jiang was silent for a long time. After a while, a smile bloomed on his face. "Sure, no problem.

"Thanks."

After hanging up, Wang Jiang tore a piece of paper from his notebook and wrote down a string of numbers.

After that, he folded the paper and handed it to the uniformed man.

"Go to Shanghai again and call this number. He will give you the authority and support."

The uniformed man took the note with both hands and saluted. "Understood!"

Watching the man walk down the stairs, a confident smile finally appeared on Wang Jiang's face. It was as if he had seen the culprit get caught…

After a while, he suddenly felt a pain in his heart, as if someone important had left. Then, his gaze became unfocused, and he had a bad premonition.

'Could it be…'

His grip tightened as his eyes turned extremely fierce…

…

At that moment, Su Yang was sitting in the sky garden of the castle building. His hands were clenched and he placed them by his mouth as his brain worked furiously.

After a while, he took out his phone and called a few people. Then, he sent a few messages to a few important little monsters.

Before dealing with Wang Jue, Su Yang used [Memory Labyrinth Hourglass] to check Wang Jue's memory once again. He also understood why the Clown Sea Serpent said that he could not find any flaws on Wang Jue.

This was because… Wang Jue had done thing very safely. In fact, he was so safe that it was difficult for even his own men to investigate him.

Previously, Wang Jue had colluded with the people from America's FAI to get rid of Su Yang and take over Jiadian Group. In fact, Wang Jue himself knew the severity of the matter and that he had to keep it a secret.

Hence, Wang Jue neither told the people around him, nor his own father.

Everything was carried out in secret.

In fact, in order to keep it a secret, Wang Jue did not leave any clues behind.

He actually… Had his bodyguard find a thief to buy a few stolen phones which had its password cracked, along with SIM cards that had been authenticated by some locals. Then, Wang Jue had used these to contact the intermediaries and the FAI.

Other than a single number that was left for emergency use, the rest would be thrown away after a single use.

Therefore, it was almost impossible for anyone to find out about Wang Jue through the phone records.

The account that he used to trade with the middle man and the assassin was also through an overseas account. It had nothing to do with China at all. Hence, It was still very difficult to be investigated.

Even when Wang Jue had met the assassin, he had asked his bodyguard to stay in the car and change clothes with the assassin before the latter followed Wang Jue back to his room, thus making it even harder to investigate.

The reason why Wang Jue was so secretive and safe was all because the things he did were too important and dangerous, so he didn't dare leave behind any clues.

In the end, he really did have everything perfectly executed.

Hence, after he disappeared, the group of experts could not find any clues or loopholes.

Of course, this was not because he had very strong anti-detection abilities, but because his bodyguards were also… Experts.

Even though Su Yang was certain that Wang Jue had done everything flawlessly, he still remembered the hint Young Master Ying gave him, about how Wang Jiang was someone who was unscrupulous and decisive.

'Judging by his character, now that he's lost his son, he wouldn't need to care about clues. Instead, he would just go through any of his suspects and interrogate them.'

At that moment, Su Yang inevitably became one of the top few suspects.

There were too many things around Su Yang that could not be investigated. Hence, Su Yang could only make arrangements in advance to protect his parents.

After that, he would wait and see how he could solve the problem…

…

While Su Yang and Wang Jiang had their own thoughts and played their cat and mouse game, the netizens were getting more and more excited.

Just like every campaign to "reasonably express their desire", the campaign to "request for Jiadian Group to expand their production" were also gradually deteriorating under the guidance of someone with ulterior motives.

Thus, more and more middlemen joined in, and the big VIPs came out to lead the public by saying that Jiadian Group was currently lacking in productivity, As such, it was best that Jiadian Group shared their technology.

Among them, it was obvious that there were some fake reviewers and "business partners'.

However, the weird thing was that the social media accounts of the relevant departments in China did not express their attitude toward this matter. Instead, they remained silent and watched the situation unfold.

Hence, this lack of attitude gradually fueled the storm.

Actually, the relevant departments could not express their opinion on this matter because their internal opinions were different.

Some think that the technology should be shared, while others think that it is the result of the company and their individuals' hard work, so their intellectual property and their willingness should be respected.

Actually, the reason why they were arguing non-stop was because the higher-ups did not express their stance clearly.

The reason why the higher-ups did not make their stand clear was because… Up until that moment, the various countries had yet to come up with any results regarding Jiadian Group, so it was not suitable for them to make their stand clear at the time.

Thus, if they supported Jiadian's development and ended up being banned overseas, then… How could they rely on these technologies to become number one in the world?

On the other hand, if they supported the sharing of Jiadian Group's technologies, they won't get blocked overseas, and they would be requested to share the technology. When that happens... Since the competitors have received a share and the country has also received a share, could they not share it with the world?

Thus, this was why the country had been holding back.

This was also the reason why the competing businesses were fanning the flames. They also knew that the country had been considering the situation, so they wanted to use public opinion to gain more bargaining chips.

Of course… They did not just rely on public opinion. Instead, they had other methods…

The current scene could be described with how a bunch of demons would dance around before the Sun rose.

Because no one knew what the outcome would be, the various factions were in conflict, thus everything was in a mess…

…

On this day, Wang Jiang was on leave and waiting for the uniformed man's message.

On the other hand, The man in uniform did not disappoint Wang Jiang and kept reporting to the latter from afar.

'There's indeed something wrong with Jiadian Group. The personal information of Su Yang's general manager is very strange.

'Su Yang actually has quite a few similar people around him. It's so strange. They seem to be blacklisted, but ended up using the same identity in order to clear their names

'There doesn't seem to be anything abnormal with Su Yang's behaviour that day. He was selling his glass phone at the store the whole morning. It seems like he was putting on a show.

'However, Su Yang is more complicated than we thought. Not only does he own Jiadian Group, he also has a lot of cash on hand, and… Most of it has been earned from the stock market?

'On that day itself, there was nothing unusual about Su Yang and the few of them. In fact, they wouldn't have had the time to commit the crime. However… he has been staying in a hotel for the past few days, which is very strange.'

Wang Jiang sat at the table and looked at the information before him and went deep in thought.

'There's no evidence that Su Yang is the murderer.

'However, for some reason, my instincts are telling me that Su Yang is the culprit!

'Especially now that Su Yang is getting more and more suspicious... I'm even more certain that Su Yang is the culprit…

'In fact, I feel like I'm getting closer to the truth.'

At that moment, a call came in. Wang Jiang picked up his phone and saw that it was from the man in uniform.

Hence, Wang Jiang answered it and said in a low voice, "What's the matter? Why are you calling me all of a sudden?"

The uniformed man said anxiously, "Sir, something's happened. We've been investigated by someone of a higher level than us. They want us to stop all investigations immediately and cooperate.

"I've just found out…"

Before he could finish, someone yelled, "Put down the phone!"
