Five testimonies, but these are five imperfect testimonies.

Zuo Teng and Zuo Butong knew too little about the two men. They entered the Ren Household to carry out a rescue operation, and the testimonies of Ren Wuyang, Ren Anran, and Zhang Xuezhou all proved that Wang Jiangtao was insane.

The difference is that Ren Wuyang and Ren Anran mentioned that Wang Jiangtao harmed himself and eventually crawled into a coffin.

Zhang Xuezhou mentioned that Wang Jiangtao frantically tried to escape the fire and happened to crawl into the coffin.

There are inconsistencies in the testimonies, but this could also be due to differing perceptions of the situation leading to different judgments.

Although Zhang Xuezhou used descriptive words such as "very likely" and "perhaps," Changkong Luo tended to believe the testimony provided by Zhang Xuezhou.

The testimonies of the Ren Household siblings seem more like an attempt to absolve themselves of any involvement in Wang Jiangtao's death.

He glanced at the members of the Sequence Committee, their eyes constantly meeting and exchanging hushed conversations.

The investigation was completed, and the true cause of Wang Jiangtao's death was confirmed. However, Changkong Luo was indeed somewhat disappointed, while Zhu Bufan was unwilling to accept it.

They didn't hear a single word from Zhang Xuezhou, Ren Wuyang, or Ren Anran that was related to the Luofu Imperial Family.

When Ren Yisheng handed over the Save the World Group, he burned a lot of documents. However, some people did not believe him and suspected that he had left something behind. Amidst the ups and downs, this Lineage, which had been expelled from Western Capital City, eventually returned to the city due to the dissent of some people.

Wang Jiangtao is dead. He was a key figure who coerced the Ren Household back then and even took over the Save the World Group.

The fact that the other party died in the Ren Household inevitably raises some suspicions.

However, most importantly, Ren Yisheng did not have a chance to make a move, and Ren Wuyang and Ren Anran were not strong enough to kill Wang Jiangtao.

The results of this investigation eventually had to be determined.

"Wang Jiangtao died in the fire!" Changkong Luo finally said.

"This is truly lamentable," Zhu Bufan said, frowning.

"Our Ren Household has been destroyed, suffering a great loss!"

"You should contact the Wang Yi'an and Wang Haoran, about this compensation issue!"

When Ren Yisheng began to mention the Ren Household's losses, Changkong Luo immediately deflected the matter.

The Ren Household's external loss was only a villa, but what was inside the villa and what valuable items it contained are another matter entirely.

If Ren Yisheng is forceful and unforgiving, and colludes with other Lineage to attack, it's not impossible for the Wang Household to be forced to leave with nothing.

However, the Wang Household is not the Ren Household. The Wang Household does not hold the secrets of the Luofu Imperial Family, nor is the Wang Household so covetous that many Lineage in Western Capital City would have to take action against them. Moreover, the two brothers, Wang Yi'an and Wang Haoran, are quite good at dealing with people.

Changkong Luo clearly did not want to get involved in this matter.

He even recalled the desolation of his later years.

If he cannot maintain normal mental consciousness, what kind of destruction will he cause after losing his mind, and what will become of the Changkong Lineage after his death?

All these related factors forced Changkong Luo to think things through and to prepare contingency plans to avoid being robbed one day.

"I demand 40% of Save the World Group's shares as compensation for my losses!"

Changkong Luo declined, Zhu Bufan's gaze darted away, but Ren Yisheng spoke without hesitation.

He skipped over the numerous complicated details and directly stated his requirements.

He had been on tenterhooks for two days and two nights; this was the prize he had to get his hands on.

He was unforgiving when he was in the right. Ren Yisheng's methods in the competition for Western Capital City were sharp and ruthless, and he paid the price. He clearly needed a sufficient return.

"Isn't this too much for you?" Zhu Bufan asked.

"If it were the Zhu Household that burned down, I'm afraid Commissioner Zhu would demand even more than I would," Ren Yisheng frowned. "You need to understand one thing: the Wang Household's Save the World Group was purchased from our Ren Household. After years of division and transfer, the Save the World Group is now less than a tenth of what it used to be. The compensation I'm demanding is only a small part, and it's within the scope of the losses our Ren Household has suffered. After all, my son, daughter, and students were almost all killed by Wang Jiangtao."

"That's the reasoning, but based on your..."

"I sincerely hope that Committee Member Zhu can set aside a time for us to have a proper discussion and see if my arguments are truly valid!"

Zhu Bufan was about to speak when Ren Yisheng's words cut him off.

His gaze was fixed on the middle-aged man in front of him who spoke with a calm voice, and a bitter taste lingered in his mouth.

The fact that Ren Yisheng dared to extend such a bold invitation clearly indicates that the third Seventh Sequence Holder of the Scarlet Alliance State has emerged, confirming the truth of what Zuo Lianguang said during his recent visit.

Ren Yisheng, possessing the strength of the Seventh Sequence, would most likely be able to instantly kill Sixth Sequence Holder in a head-on confrontation.

"The river's waves push the previous ones forward; if the new wave has the ability, the old wave will naturally have to step aside," Zhu Bufan said with a dry laugh. "There's no need for sparring. I hope Committee Member Ren will make more contributions in the future and share the heavy responsibilities with the Alliance States."

No one wants to spar with an opponent like Ren Yisheng. Regardless of whether Ren Yisheng's words are threats or the truth, Zhu Bufan doesn't want to make a move unless it involves interests that require a life-or-death struggle.

This is merely a division of interests involving the Wang Household, not a plundering of interests involving the Zhu Household.

In fact, there were once many aggressive Lineage in Western Capital City, and the Wang Household acted as the spearhead, proposing to acquire the property at a low price. However, when the Wang Household's rulers fell from power, Ren Yisheng rose to prominence again. Ren Yisheng's counterattack was still very mild.

If they encounter someone who is unreasonable and unforgiving, this could even lead to the Wang Household being completely expelled from Western Capital City.

As for the committee members Seventh Sequence in the Scarlet Alliance State, if Ren Yisheng's only assets consisted of a few production lines for biscuits, cat food, and dog food, and he received a salary of around one million a year, it would be difficult for such compensation to completely bind Ren Yisheng to the Alliance States.

Zhu Bufan was quite certain that if Ren Yisheng showed off his skills and was willing to break away from the Scarlet Alliance State, many countries would give up all the benefits they could to exchange for him.

Therefore, it became inevitable that Ren Yisheng would be stabilized.

In an instant, not only Zhu Bufan's attitude underwent a subtle change, but Changkong Luo's attitude also changed.

"Save the World Group is a bottomless pit right now. Have you considered switching to a more reliable asset?" Changkong Luo enthusiastically recommended, "I think the two gold mines that the Wang Household is still operating are a good option. They conservatively produce around 30 million a year. You don't need to make any additional investment, and they can sustain you for at least fifteen years."

"That's right. Save the World Group employs too many people. Although the daily income is high, the expenses are also huge. The net profit is not as convenient as the stable output of a gold mine," Zhu Bufan agreed.

"I'm not good at running a gold mine, and I can't control the corrupt officials under me. I'm afraid I won't be able to reap the rewards for many years," Ren Yisheng frowned. "It would be safer to ask for some familiar research institutes and medical institutions."

"That's fine too!"

One major problem with the Ren Household is the limited number of Ren Household members. This means that the cost of training Ren Yisheng is relatively low, but it also means that the Ren Household only has a handful of members, which is completely insufficient to control an unfamiliar industry or a large system.

This requires Ren Yisheng to rely on the existing system to function properly, and Ren Yisheng also needs to be bound to the Wang Household for a transition.

Clearly, Ren Yisheng is not only pursuing peaceful coexistence, but also common development.

Ren Yisheng, with such thoughts, would not go far away to seek development in a foreign country.

Ren Yisheng's return to the medical industry may bring about some new developments.

Changkong Luo and Zhu Bufan exchanged a glance, clearly placing their hopes on the past research findings of the Luofu Imperial Family.

The Ren Household's former conglomerate was merged, the Ren Household's assets were divided, and everything that could be searched was searched, but no one could plunder Ren Yisheng's memories.

The contents of the Luofu Imperial Family's ' Heavenly God General Immortality Research ' may not exist outside, but rather in Ren Yisheng's mind.
