Lin Qi's assassination was a major matter. It involved the dirty dealings between him, the Big Five Banks, and several conglomerates.
At a time when the existing order was so fragile, any minor incident could trigger terrifying consequences no one could predict.
Yet this was also a minor incident—so minor that it had not even reached the news.
A homeless man in the city getting bitten on the butt by a stray dog while defecating outside could make the news, but the assassination of a major figure could not. Nor could more people be allowed to learn about it.
Sometimes, no one could tell which mattered more to ordinary people's lives: major events or minor ones.
Conner had been unable to sleep well these past few days. He was always worried that if Lin Qi really were killed, he would soon be facing a great deal of trouble.
He had been studying the information for several days. The Blackstone System covered far too much of society. Only now had he discovered that it not only had its own power plants, but also controlled one-third of the federation's power grid.
Lin Qi simply rarely revealed these things to the outside world. Many companies seemed insignificant, but once their shareholders were investigated, it would become clear that Lin Qi or Blackstone Capital was an inescapable link.
Some people always thought the word "success" was cheap, as if anyone could succeed no matter who they were or what they did.
In reality, the higher one climbed, the more clearly one saw things, and the more one could discover the terrifying nature of society's pyramid structure! At the bottom, there was a vast amount of space that could accommodate anyone and anything, and no one would think you had no right to do something.
