Excessive ferocity due to caution

Whiteman had prepared many lines for this, and although he appeared surprised and worried, he was actually calm and composed inside.

The current direction and trend of public opinion indicate that there is a hand pulling the strings behind the scenes.

Although he did not retaliate, he knew that the police must have been behind it all.

If the military handles this situation properly, he can directly reverse his disadvantage.

Then they turned the tables on the police station.

People in his position are extremely adept at playing the game of Tai Chi.

When facing an opponent's attack, the key is to receive, neutralize, and then launch an attack!

Deng Bai, with his full head of white hair, glanced at Whiteman and said indifferently:

"Boss Bai looks really unwell."

"Have you been sick lately?"

Whiteman coughed a few times and said weakly:

"I recently underwent some surgery due to gastrointestinal issues, and my appetite has been poor lately, so I've been eating less and have lost a lot of weight."

"My stomach hurts sometimes, even when I don't feel like eating, which makes me even less inclined to eat."

Deng Bai gave a soft "hmm" and then led his men into Whiteman's manor.

To be precise, he broke in.

Compared to Whiteman's reserved demeanor, he seemed to be the true owner of the manor.

"Now that I'm here, I'll just get straight to the point."

"Boss Bai should already know about what happened last night, right?"

The group entered the hall. Deng Bai sat in the host's seat, while Bai Teman could only stand in the center of the hall, like a prisoner being interrogated.

"The specifics are still unclear... There's just too much conflicting information online right now, I can't really tell the difference. And the police station hasn't issued any official statement yet, which is really strange..."

As he spoke, Buttman coughed violently again, as if he were coughing up his lungs.

Deng Bai watched him with great interest and said:

"Don't you have stomach problems? Why are you coughing so much?"

Bettman gasped:

"I'm not really sure, maybe it's because I've been feeling weak lately and caught a cold."

"However, there are rumors circulating online that Capitalist Man killed Admiral Sata, I wonder if that's true..."

Deng Bai crossed his legs and took a sip of tea from the table.

"Sata is dead."

"The Hellfire Legion was also completely wiped out."

"They took a lot of weapons from the military, including that tank."

"But even so, they were still taken down by the capitalists."

Whiteman was horrified:

"This... can't be right?!"

"No matter how powerful that capitalist is, he's still just a mortal. How could he possibly defeat a fully armed army?"

Deng Bai said slowly:

"That is indeed the case in theory."

"unless……"

Whiteman looked completely bewildered.

"Unless what?"

Deng Bai raised his eyes:

"Unless the capitalist used some kind of banned drug."

"For example, the hyena series solution lg-327 used by the military to create super soldiers."

Upon hearing this code name, Whiteman's heart pounded noticeably faster.

"I'm sorry, Commander Denbai."

"Although I don't know what that is, please accept my condolences, Commander, for what happened to General Sata."

Dengbai put down his teacup.

"Let's ask another question."

"I came to see you first this time because I wanted to know why Sata drove a tank to the Godfall Manor you bought?"

Whiteman smiled wryly:

"Commander, do I look like I know the answer, completely clueless?"

"I woke up this morning to find my butler's phone ringing off the hook, telling me that the Godfall Manor I bought had been razed to the ground, and I don't even have anyone to complain to..."

"However, speaking of the Godfall Manor, I did lose something."

Deng Bai raised an eyebrow:

"What is it?"

Bettman said with a wry smile:

"To be honest, Commander, the main reason I bought Godfall Manor was to secretly set up a laboratory to research some medicines to treat my physical ailments."

"If you check the taxes, I can't hide it from you."

"If I had to pinpoint any particular reason why Sata has any designs on Godfall Manor, it would probably be the drug I'm currently researching."

Deng Bai asked:

"Where's the medicine?"

Whiteman shrugged:

"I don't know, it's gone."

"When I woke up this morning, the housekeeper told me that someone had stolen my research in the chaos."

"It still hasn't been found."

Upon hearing this, Deng Bai said:

"What about the research data?"

Whiteman:

"The research data was also stolen; they killed my researcher."

Deng Bai laughed:

"What a coincidence, Boss Bai."

Whiteman sighed and said with a wry smile:

"I know this is outrageous."

"But here's the worst part: I really have no way to prove my innocence right now."

"Moreover, given the current public opinion trend in V City, I don't know exactly what happened."

"If the commander wants to investigate me, go ahead and investigate. While you're at it, please also investigate who stole my research."

"I'm unwell, and that medicine is really important to me."

"If the commander can help find it, I will give you a generous reward as a token of my gratitude."

Seeing the sincerity of Whiteman, Deng Bai pondered for a moment.

"If it were you, who do you think is the most suspicious?"

Whiteman slightly raised his eyes.

"First and foremost, it has to be Capital Man, since the public opinion is that the most intense battle that night was between him and General Sata."

"And in conclusion, he is the ultimate winner."

"Therefore, Capital Man should be the prime suspect."

Deng Bai patted his leg and said calmly:

"Anything else?"

After a long silence, Whiteman replied:

"Commander, there's something I'm not sure whether I should say or not."

"I'm telling you, you might get angry."

Deng Bai smiled slightly, revealing a kind expression:

"Just tell me without worry."

Bettman took a deep breath:

"Nowadays, there is a lot of public opinion and rumors circulating online. In addition to people following the trend, there is obviously a hand deliberately manipulating and fueling the situation behind the scenes."

"And the other party's purpose is clearly to muddy the waters and cover up something."

"And there aren't many characters with this ability in V City."

"If you really want to find out, you can do so very quickly."

Deng Bai and Bai Teman looked at each other.

He clearly knew who Bettman was talking about.

However, neither of them made it clear.

Because, in essence, the police force is an appendage of the military.

If the police find what Whiteman was researching and hide it, but later hand it over to the military, then that's the end of the matter.

Of course, Denby didn't entirely believe Bettman's words, even though he seemed so sincere.

Having spent years scheming and plotting, he knew very well that the more sincere a person was, the easier it was for them to deceive others.

"I understand what you mean."

"The military will investigate this matter thoroughly this time, so there's no need to be smug or harbor any illusions."

As he spoke, Deng Bai stood up, patted his clothes, gave Whiteman a deep look, and left with his men.

P.S.: Good night.
