Chapter 127: Truth
"Anything from Morton? What did he find?" Jane asked, noticing Patrick''s confident demeanor.
Patrick leaned back slightly, his voice deep, "Still investigating. I believe we''ll have results soon."
Jane nodded, "We must find evidence before Jones holds the press conference; otherwise, the
situation will be unfavorable for us."
Patrick smiled faintly, giving Jane a sidelong nce, "Don''t worry; I''ve got it under control. Jones
won''t dance for much longer."
Patrick''s calm smile reassured Jane.
The information she asked Anthony to investigate should yield results soon.
Jones scheduled the press conference for two dayster.
Spections about the Pansy Group explosion were rampant, and everyone was eager for the
press conference, anticipating the revtion of the truth behind the "Ice and Fire" radioactive
elements and the explosion.
The press conference took ce in the conference hall of a luxurious hotel in France.
Jane arrived early, taking a seat in an inconspicuous corner.
She sent a text to Anthony, [Did you find what I asked you to investigate?]
Soon, Anthony replied, [Sent it to your email.]
Jane raised her lips slightly, [Thank you.]
It seemed like there would be a good show today.
Jones, in a sharp suit, sat at the podium.
Many reporters surrounded the area, cameras pointed at Jones on the stage, and camera shes
blinked incessantly.
At exactly ten o''clock in the morning, the press conference officially began.
The host took the stage, and a melodious voice echoed, "Wee, everyone, to the Pansy Group
press conference. Now, let''s invite Mr. Jones to speak."
Apuse erupted as Jones stood up, waving his hand to quiet the crowd.
He cleared his throat and began, "In recent days, regarding the explosion at the Pansy Group''s
French manufacturing nt, I believe everyone has heard something. Today''s press conference
aims to rify this matter."
"Mr. Jones, is it true that Pansy Group''s ''Ice and Fire'' indeed contains radioactive elements? How
did these raw materials enter the factory?"
"Was the explosion in the raw material warehouse truly an ident?"
...
Reporters bombarded Jones with questions, one after another.
"Please, everyone, be quiet!" Jones raised his voice, "Below is the official statement from the Pansy
Group regarding this incident."
After a pause, Jones, reading from a script, mechanically stated, "The investigation into whether
Pansy Group''s ''Ice and Fire'' jewelry series contained radioactive elements has confirmed that some
raw materials in the number one warehouse of the French manufacturing nt did indeed contain
radioactive elements."
"As for the reason for the problematic materials, it was the two administrators of the number one
warehouse. Due to personal dissatisfaction with thepany, they sought revenge and mixed
materials with radioactive elements into the raw materials. As a result, the quality of the produced
jewelry did not meet standards, leading to poisoning among consumers."
Original from N?velDrama.Org.
"As for the investigation into the explosion in the number one warehouse, it was caused by one
warehouse administrator smoking in vition of rules. The cigarette butt fell onto mmable and
explosive raw materials, identally causing the explosion. The two deceased in the explosion
were confirmed to be the warehouse administrators who tampered with the raw materials earlier."
After listening to Jones''s statement, the crowd erupted in discussions.
"Is it really that simple?"
"How is it so coincidental that the two administrators who tampered with things died in the
explosion?"
"Pansy Group might be hiding something to cover the truth, right?"
The scene at the press conference became chaotic as reporters voiced their concerns.
"Mr. Jones, are you sure everything you said is true?"
"Why did the people rted to the ''Ice and Fire'' radioactive elements conveniently die in the
explosion? Wasn''t it just an ident?"
Jones smirked, dropping a bombshell, "Of course, it''s not as simple as an ident."
This statement from Jones was like throwing a huge stone into calm waters, creating ripples of
excitement among the reporters.
"Mr. Jones, what do you mean by ''not an ident''?"
"If it''s not an ident, then what is it?"
"Is there an unknown truth behind all this?"
Jones''s gaze turned cold, he cleared his throat, and continued, "What I said earlier was Pansy
Group''s official rification, but it''s not the whole truth."
"Mr. Jones, are you implying that Pansy Group is concealing the truth? Then, what is the real truth?"
A sharp reporter directed the questions at Jones.
"As the person in charge of Pansy Group''s French manufacturing nt, I shouldn''t be saying this,
but as someone with integrity, I can''t bear the guilt of conscience. Today, I''ve decided to reveal the
truth!" Jones''s tone was resolute, as if he had made a significant decision.
Watching Jones''s performance on stage, Jane''s gaze turned sharper.
As expected, Jones called the press conference to throw dirt on Pansy Group, almost wanting to
annihte thepany.
However, he underestimated Patrick and, more importantly, Jane.
Just let him enjoy his moment a little longer.
Jones tantalized everyone''s curiosity before slowly saying, "In reality, the reason ''Ice and Fire''
contained radioactive elements, leading to customer poisoning, was because Pansy Group, in order
to save costs, used inferior raw materials."
"To divert attention, Pansy Group med everything on those two innocent warehouse
administrators. As for the explosion in the number one warehouse, it was intentional on Pansy
Group''s part. The purpose was clear - to destroy the evidence and leave no trace of the crime."
After hearing Jones''s words, the entire hall fell into a state of shock andmotion.
Pansy Group, a leadingpany in the business world, wouldmit such an immoral act for the
sake of profit?
However, it was hard not to believe Jones''s words.
After all, Jones was the person in charge of Pansy Group''s French manufacturing nt, and he had
no reason to smear his ownpany.
So, was Pansy Group really so disgraceful?
Jones seemed satisfied with the reactions of the crowd. He surveyed the room and finally locked
eyes with Jane in the corner. "And the mastermind behind all this is none other than Patrick, the
CEO of Pansy Group, and Jane, the project manager of ''Ice and Fire''!"
For a moment, Jane became the target of everyone''s criticism. All eyes focused on her.
Jane stood up calmly, walked steadily to Jones, and with a toneced with coldness and irony, she
asked, "Jones, are you willing to take responsibility for every word you just said?"
