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, thesituation will be unfavorable for us."
Patrick smiled faintly, giving Jane a sidelong glance, "Don't worry; I've got it under control. Joneswon'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 days later.
Speculations about the Pansy Group explosion were rampant, and everyone was eager for thepress conference, anticipating the revelation of the truth behind the "Ice and Fire" radioactiveelements and the explosion.
The press conference took place 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 flashesblinked incessantly.
At exactly ten o'clock in the morning, the press conference officially began.
The host took the stage, and a melodious voice echoed, "Welcome, everyone, to the Pansy Grouppress conference. Now, let's invite Mr. Jones to speak."
Applause 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'sFrench manufacturing plant, I believe everyone has heard something. Today's press conferenceaims to clarify this matter."
"Mr. Jones, is it true that Pansy Group's 'Ice and Fire' indeed contains radioactive elements? Howdid these raw materials enter the factory?"
"Was the explosion in the raw material warehouse truly an accident?"
...
Reporters bombarded Jones with questions, one after another.
"Please, everyone, be quiet!" Jones raised his voice, "Below is the official statement from the PansyGroup regarding this incident."
After a pause, Jones, reading from a script, mechanically stated, "The investigation into whetherPansy Group's 'Ice and Fire' jewelry series contained radioactive elements has confirmed that someraw materials in the number one warehouse of the French manufacturing plant did indeed containradioactive elements."
"As for the reason for the problematic materials, it was the two administrators of the number onewarehouse. Due to personal dissatisfaction with the company, they sought revenge and mixedmaterials with radioactive elements into the raw materials. As a result, the quality of the producedjewelry did not meet standards, leading to poisoning among consumers."
"As for the investigation into the explosion in the number one warehouse, it was caused by onewarehouse administrator smoking in violation of rules. The cigarette butt fell onto flammable andexplosive raw materials, accidentally causing the explosion. The two deceased in the explosionwere confirmed to be the warehouse administrators who tampered with the raw materials earlier."novelbin
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 theexplosion?"
"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 related to the 'Ice and Fire' radioactive elements conveniently die in theexplosion? Wasn't it just an accident?"
Jones smirked, dropping a bombshell, "Of course, it's not as simple as an accident."
This statement from Jones was like throwing a huge stone into calm waters, creating ripples ofexcitement among the reporters.
"Mr. Jones, what do you mean by 'not an accident'?"
"If it's not an accident, 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 PansyGroup's official clarification, 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 plant, 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 thetruth!" 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 toannihilate the company.
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 blamed everything on those two innocent warehouseadministrators. As for the explosion in the number one warehouse, it was intentional on PansyGroup'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 and commotion.
Pansy Group, a leading company in the business world, would commit such an immoral act for thesake 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 plant, and he hadno reason to smear his own company.
So, was Pansy Group really so disgraceful?
Jones seemed satisfied with the reactions of the crowd. He surveyed the room and finally lockedeyes with Jane in the corner. "And the mastermind behind all this is none other than Patrick, theCEO 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 tone laced with coldness and irony, sheasked, "Jones, are you willing to take responsibility for every word you just said?"
