In the Ancient Castle, Mo Haihao wrote down key information on the little blackboard.
First: Those who originally could participate suddenly couldn’t.
Second: The news broke just before the interview, making it too late to cancel.
Third: The timing of the online revelation was too coincidental; just after the revelation, the director was assassinated.
Fourth: The killer bore no personal grudges against the director, was a foreign national, clearly a hired assassin.
Fifth: The online attacks targeted Little Taotie and Cheng Guodong.
Mo Haihao drew a big circle around the words "Cheng Guodong."
He spoke in a deep voice: "Put yourself in the shoes of the masterminds; what would you do next?"
Mo Haihao pointed with his pen at Chen Zi, "New member, you speak first."
Chen Zi, feeling helpless, looked at the two children beside him, thinking he was like a school mentor accompanying elementary students.
"Quickly." Mo Haihao urged.
Chen Zi: "If the target is Cheng Guodong, the real reason should be that his overseas business has harmed certain interests. Next step, probably poisoning."
"Poisoning?" Mo Haihao raised a corner of his mouth: "Interesting, go on."
Chen Zi: "He himself said the fruit business is doing well abroad, so it should be investigated whose business it was before he entered the overseas market."
Mo Haihao handed him a document: "Have a look."
Chen Zi skimmed through it and was about to hand it back, but Mo Haihao indicated towards Little Taotie and Hua Jinyan.
Chen Zi handed the document to Little Taotie and them.
Chen Zi: "Cheng Guodong actually represents Hua Country’s intention to penetrate overseas markets. Many overseas countries are well aware that Hua Country originally relied on self-production and self-sales. As technology developed, production increased, with some surplus for export. This batch of agricultural products entering overseas markets caused losses in other countries, after all, Hua Country’s goods are cheap and good."
"According to the information, countries L, D, S had their original markets hit by Cheng Guodong. L Country’s kiwis, strawberries, blueberries are unable to sell in large quantities, leading to rot and destruction."
"So this seems like an entertainment industry event, but actually the real target is Cheng Guodong. News of Cheng Guodong hiring a killer would tarnish his reputation as a petty and narrow-minded person, and the reason he hired the killer is because of Little Taotie, making Little Taotie his vulnerability!"
"Thinking from the opposite perspective, if I’m a fruit mogul from L Country, to protect my business, I would attack Cheng Guodong’s business, first by poisoning the fruits. If poisoning fails, the next step is to exploit his vulnerability to threaten him."
A conspirator often can think of more scheming ideas from the opposite perspective, even more than the enemy.
Chen Zi, known for being notoriously cunning as an agent,
joining the Special Department has amplified these conspiratorial traits during strategic thinking, proving highly effective.
Mo Haihao didn’t expect this inexperienced rookie to be such a smart guy, generously praised as the team leader: "Very good, your ability surprises me, quite potential."
Mo Haihao pointed to the name "Cheng Guodong" on the blackboard, "I’ve already told him to take more precautions to prevent his exports from being poisoned. If fruit poisoning results in deaths, our country’s pesticide residues will be questioned, not only affecting fruit exports but also other agricultural exports."
"Here!" Little Taotie responded quickly upon hearing his name called.
Mo Haihao sighed: "Stay at the Ancient Castle recently, don’t wander off."
