Chapter 582: A Shocking Drama

At a senior management meeting at Fanghuan Group,
the atmosphere was tense and oppressive, so much so that even breathing required careful attention.
“Speak.”
Huang Fengwen, seated at the head of the table, spoke in a deep, booming voice. That single word sent a chill down the spines of every executive present.
A senior executive stood up nervously and reported cautiously:
"Chairman, according to the joint investigation by the FBI and Congress over the past week, the final conclusion has been reached—
The gunman named Thomas acted alone."
"No one instructed him?"
"Yes. They thoroughly investigated the gunman's phone and computer, even using digital forensics. All the evidence points to his personal actions.
The investigation shows he has a history of mental health issues and an extremely strong…desire for fame."
"So, when CP was campaigning in his region, he got the idea?"
"Yes. He believed that by targeting CP, the world's biggest 'controversial figure,' he could become famous overnight.
In short, he's a psychopath obsessed with fame."
Hearing this, Huang Fengwen subtly let out a soft sigh of relief.
But could that sigh truly be a relief?
“Also, Chairman…” the executive hesitated for a moment, then forced himself to speak,
“The Communist Party has been secretly investigating whether this shooting incident is related to Fang Huan.”
“…!”
The temperature in the conference room plummeted!
“But they’ve searched high and low, and haven’t found a single clue connecting us.”
“So, those guys suspect us?”
“Yes. But as I said before, they have no evidence.”
This suspicion was utterly obvious.
Even a pig could see something fishy was going on.
While the whole world was throwing away CP-related stocks like hot potatoes, only Fang Huan Investment, like a fool, frantically scooped up all this “garbage.”
The investment reached hundreds of billions, causing quite a stir in global capital markets.
Then, the gun went off, and the stock market crashed!
Anyone who says there’s nothing fishy going on here is a ghost!
"..."
Huang Fengwen's thoughts drifted back to that night, to that bustling barbecue restaurant.
He remembered his conversation with Su Hao.
That day, no matter how he subtly probed, Su Hao wouldn't reveal why he was gambling so recklessly on his CP (couple) relationship.
The guy only said one sentence at the end: "Brother, trust me."
It was that sentence that made Huang Fengwen believe him, without even asking another question, and deliberately changing the subject.
He believed his brother had his reasons for doing this!
'But damn it... is this your reason?!'
A terrifying thought, like a venomous snake, coiled around Huang Fengwen's heart.
What if Su Hao had foreseen all of this?
No, not foreseen, but... orchestrated it all?
That's why he kept silent, partly to avoid the news leaking and alerting Su Hao.
On the other hand, he also knew that if he were told about this crazy plan that could overturn the world...
as the older brother, he would stop him at all costs!
"Absolutely not! I can't let him take this risk!"
"What a joke!"
"This is about targeting the US presidential candidate!"
"Even if I trust this brother completely, Huang Fengwen would never stand by and watch him jump into this abyss of no return!"
"Perhaps... Chairman Su just doesn't want to drag you down with him." A clueless executive tried to guess Huang Fengwen's intentions.
"He wants to shoulder all the risks himself, from beginning to end."
"As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Fengwen's eyes turned icy cold.
"Who the hell gave you the guts to spout nonsense here?"
"...Huh?"
"Are you saying that Su Hao of Fanghuan would be involved in such dirty business?"
Huang Fengwen's voice carried an undeniable, oppressive force, like a mountain pressing down.
The executive instantly broke out in a cold sweat, stammering,
"No...no, Chairman, I just meant that, considering the timing and our investment strategy, Chairman Su...he is indeed easily suspected..."
"Shut the hell up!"
Huang Fengwen's thunderous roar shook the entire conference room.
All the executives trembled, bowing their heads in unison.
"Walls have ears! Don't you even understand that?"
Huang Fengwen slowly scanned everyone present, his eyes icy cold.
"Every single word of our conversation here today, if it gets out, will cause a catastrophe!
Remember this—Fang Huan, Su Hao, have absolutely nothing to do with this!
Do you all understand what I'm saying?!"
His subtext was clear to everyone present; they were all shrewd enough to understand.
This was a death order.
Even if Su Hao really orchestrated all of this, you all better keep your mouths shut and keep it buried!
This matter has nothing to do with Su Hao, nothing to do with Fang Huan!
From today onwards, this topic is off-limits. Anyone who mentions it will be doomed!
"Keep a close eye on public opinion!
Whether it's news media or social networks, any comment that dares to link this incident to Fang Huan, delete it immediately!
Anyone who dares to stir up trouble, the legal department will send a lawyer's letter immediately and sue them until they're bankrupt!
I want this topic to disappear completely from the internet!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Get out of here and get to work!"
The executives, feeling like they'd been granted a pardon, hurriedly left the meeting room.
When the heavy door closed, leaving only Huang Fengwen in the large space, he finally let out a long, trembling breath.
"..."
He stared at the photo on the screen—the one of CP, his face covered in blood, yet still raising his arm—his expression incredibly complex.
Huang Fengwen knew that such a divine reaction in a life-or-death situation couldn't be some kind of spur-of-the-moment "improvisation."
The only explanation was that CP already knew what was going to happen; he was simply acting out a pre-written script in front of the whole world!
A world-shaking drama co-directed by Su Hao and himself!
But what kind of devilish deal had Su Hao and CP struck?
"..."
At this moment, Huang Fengwen completely understood why Su Hao had kept everything from him.
If the plan is exposed, Su Hao will take all the blame upon himself to protect his elder brother and the entire Fang Huan!
That silly boy, he's always been like this...
In an instant, Huang Fengwen's eyes reddened.
