Chapter 1279 It’s him!
Chapter 1279 It’s him!
Edwin explained to Tang Tang in detail what he knew about the banquet, "So in the American district, you can't just go to banquets and parties casually."
Tang Tang rested her chin on her hand, "So you've never been to... a place like Beverly Hills?"
After all, he is a Nobel Prize winner. In the US, fame means success.
Not to mention that Edwin himself belonged to the elite class.
Edwin smiled helplessly. "Of course I've been there... You know, sometimes compromise is easier than resistance."
As mentioned before, the Americas is a wolf pack society. In this social system, unless Edwin leaves the Americas, even he has to abide by the default rules.
He smiled at Tang Tang, "But don't worry, I'm clean. Although the American district isn't exactly a clean place, it's still relatively safe for someone like me who can bring me great benefits but doesn't really want to gain anything from them."
At least those people wouldn't choose to offend Edwin to force him to do something he didn't want to do.
Of course, there must be various more subtle forms of confrontation and compromise.
"So I'm saying, since the lab is connected to that Mr. Big Corn, is it possible that he was also behind what happened in the lab?"
"The researcher who accused you had absolutely no reason to do so, so it's clear he had other motives. Since the reason can't be found within himself, it must be due to external forces."
Tang Tang's mind raced. "While that researcher may not be as successful as you, he has already amassed considerable fame and fortune. The only one who can control him is something far more powerful than himself."
"The accusations against you are meant to demonstrate authority and put pressure on you, and the ultimate goal is to win you over and control you."
Even if it's not that big corn, it must be an interest group related to that big corn.
"You said that some of the raw materials in the laboratory came from Noah Pharmaceuticals, so I dare to guess whether Noah Pharmaceuticals has any connection with that former president?"
Tang Tang raised an eyebrow, looking at Edwin with bright eyes, and said, word by word, "Tell me, is it possible that my guess is correct? Noah Pharmaceuticals, Ark Pharmaceuticals, and OSIRIS Biotechnology—these three largest pharmaceutical groups in the United States, surely one of them is controlled by the president?"
Pharmaceutical groups are actually in the field of biotechnology, and in today's era, biotechnology, genetic science, and other fields that explore the human body are the most popular.
Once you have money, power, and status, who wouldn't feel that life is too short? Who wouldn't want to live such an incredibly happy life forever?
Therefore, these powerful and wealthy people will definitely choose various means to prolong their lives. On the one hand, they will start by figuring out how to prolong their lives, and on the other hand, they will begin to study various cell and gene technologies, etc.
Therefore, secretly controlling a biotechnology company is the best option.
Now, Tang Tang suspects that Noah Pharmaceuticals may have some connection with that crazy corn guy.
Edwin paused, looked at Tang Tang, and after recalling some things, slowly said, "Actually, before, Noah Pharmaceuticals and Ark Pharmaceuticals were evenly matched, with neither of them being number one."
"It was during the previous president's term that Noah Pharmaceuticals began to make frequent moves and launched many research projects. Finally, it made a breakthrough in the treatment of congenital heart disease in infants, which allowed it to rise to the top of the three major pharmaceutical companies."
"At the same time, Noah Pharmaceuticals' stock price soared, and almost everyone who owned shares in Noah Pharmaceuticals made a fortune, with their assets increasing several times over."
Some things can't be thought about too deeply. Now, the two of them are taking turns analyzing the situation, peeling back the layers, and finally seem to be able to see some truths that have been vaguely obscured by the fog.
The two looked at each other, and finally fell silent.
Edwin had actually had a vague, intuitive feeling about it before. However, he had been playing along, or rather, quietly giving up, so he basically didn't think about these things.
As long as Edwin doesn't interfere with him, he doesn't care whether others live or die. He's not some superhero or a champion of justice; he just wants the world to explode and humanity to be wiped out.
Of course, let's leave it at that for now.
He subconsciously pulled the girl leaning against him closer to his chest, and finally asked, "So what are you going to do?"
“Me? What does this have to do with me?” Tang Tang chuckled. “I’m actually more curious about why that Mr. Big Corn wanted to target Reginald.”
If their deductions are correct, then the real mastermind behind Noah Group is Crazy Corn. But isn't Reginald, as the apparent head of Noah Group, also just a tool of Big Corn?
But why would that crazy corn guy turn on his own subordinates?
“If our deduction is correct, then you were accused back then… I suspect it was very likely that you were implicated.”
Tang Tang said somewhat speechlessly, "Um... do you remember when I first went to the lab, you and I were seen by other people?"
Edwin nodded.
Tang Tang continued, "At this point, it doesn't really matter, but don't forget... I still have Edmund by my side."
If when Tang Tang first arrived in the American region, she was just a big gold ingot without any symbols on her body... then her relationship with Edmund grew better and better, and she even publicly acknowledged their "friendship" at the International Youth Leaders Conference...
Even though she didn't actually take sides, in the eyes of those who were interested, she was somewhat on the side of the Vanderbilt family, that is, on the side of the current president.
So, in the eyes of her ex-boyfriend's crazy corn, she naturally became a rather obnoxious presence, probably no less obnoxious than the only black spot in a pure white room.
That's not entirely wrong. Although she hasn't taken sides yet, if she had to choose, she would definitely vote for President Vanderbilt...
After all, compared to a madman, everyone seems much more normal.
“But I don’t understand,” Tang Tang wrinkled her nose, looking a little like a cat with a disdainful expression, “If we’re not mistaken, then why would he target Reginald?”
“You have a lot of dirt on Reginald,” Edwin suddenly said. “Do you think Reginald might tell the president about these things?”
Tang Tang hesitated, "Probably not? This isn't a kind place... If Reginald asks him for help, it means Reginald admits he's a good-for-nothing."
He will not receive help, but only abandonment.
