Void Jigsaw Puzzle

Zhong Chenmu's last words and actions made Mr. Liang fall into deep thought.

However, when he spoke again, he began with a slightly complaining tone, "Do you know how expensive my tea is? I only have stock, no new ones. Every time I drink it, it's gone. I brewed it especially for you, and it's fine if you don't drink it, but you're really wasting it with your dirty hands."

"..."

At this time, Mr. Liang asked seriously again: "Okay, I agree with your judgment. So, what do you want me to do now? Let me withdraw my investment in Pierce? This is impossible. Besides, the investment I already have in him is enough for him to use for a long time. There is no point in cutting off the payment now. Or, let me condemn them? I can consider this, but I don't think they are willing to listen to me..."

Zhong Chenmu was stunned. "Aren't you their financial backer? Why do you feel like you can't do anything? And they're using your name to commit crimes."

Mr. Liang smiled bitterly and said, "Have you ever run a business?"

"Can you please use your brain before asking questions? I'm only 17, what do you think?"

"..."

Mr. Liang thought for a moment and said, "My current relationship with them is a bit like the relationship between a company's investors, board of directors, and management. In a company, especially a large one, while the shareholders' meeting and board of directors nominally hold the highest authority and make decisions, management is often the true controller. This is because management controls the company's day-to-day operations, while the shareholders' meeting and board of directors are high above, long detached from the actual details. Apart from pretending to exercise power during their annual meetings, they can't really do much. Of course, they can replace management, but how can that be so easy? Do you understand what I mean?"

"I see... You are like the shareholders and the board of directors, and they are like the management?"

"Yes."

Zhong Chenmu lowered his head, took a sip of his tea, and savored it carefully in his mouth.

It is indeed a good tea. Even if you stir it with your fingers, it is not difficult to drink.

......

At this moment, an idea came to his mind. He raised his head again and asked, "Master Liang, I have an idea."

There was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Liang Ye's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly, "What's your idea?"

"Since you can neither punish them nor condemn them, we can only try to control the situation. The massacres of Groups One and Two are already a fait accompli, leaving only Group Three. If we can prevent Group Three from being instigated by them and committing a similar tragedy, we must contact them as soon as possible and do their bidding. Just before I came to you, the Hydrogen Tribe released the latest rules of the game. After the winner of Group Three is determined, the winners of our four groups will enter the free-for-all phase, directly determining the final winner. So, we must hurry."

"What?" Master Liang showed an incredible expression, obviously he had just learned this information. However, he also reacted quickly: "It seems that according to your point of view just now, we really need to adopt other methods to produce the winning team of the third group. Otherwise, let the Hydrogen Clan see that we originally had a plan, and then not only overturned the plan, but also only cared about fighting and killing. What kind of impression will that give them? Not only do we go back on our words, but we are also extreme supporters of the law of the jungle... This will be troublesome..." Master Liang frowned.

Zhong Chenmu smiled and said, "Mr. Liang is wise and quick to follow good advice."

"Stop talking nonsense. You must have an idea, right?"

"My idea is... any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem."
