(The rapid-fire updates continued...)
Everyone turned to Tang Changsheng at once. If he claimed he knew nothing now, he would not only risk offending them; they would not believe him. Even if they did, they would only look down on him...
So Tang Changsheng gave a faint, mysterious smile. "I don't really know anything. An elder gave me a specific warning, so I didn't dare sell off my holdings. Still, watching their value plunge every day made my heart pound. Now that I've heard what Elder Wang said, I finally feel a little easier..."
The others were half convinced, but they could hardly press him. They turned to Elder Wang instead. Since he had raised the subject himself, he clearly had no intention of keeping it secret. In a small circle like theirs, sharing resources was what mattered most.
And intelligence was undoubtedly an important resource!
"As for this matter, it's top secret. I don't know much myself. I only heard that one of Great Chu's carrier fleets disappeared..."
"What?"
The news shook everyone who heard it. An Aircraft Carrier fleet had disappeared? That was enormous. It was the kind of thing that could spark a war, even a new world war.
But why had no word of it leaked? The disappearance of an entire carrier group was too big to hide!
More importantly, what did it have to do with resource prices recovering?
Tang Changsheng could not work it out, but everyone else looked as though the truth had suddenly dawned on them. Could he ask, with a blank look on his face, what had happened?
If he did, he would probably be shut out of this circle from then on... The people in a circle like this were supposed to be equals. A little whitebait could hardly swim
