The Guide to the End of the World: Four Sentinels Compete for Favor

Chapter 541 What is Living Together?

"The interest groups controlled by Ai Wanxin involve the parliament, the military, large multinational corporations, scientific research institutions, and underground industries."

"They colluded with each other and did whatever it took to gain huge profits. The profit chain they formed was intricate and their powerful forces deeply penetrated into all major systems in the world."

"Because the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court was also one of their protectors, their crimes were perfectly covered up over the years. Our investigators went through numerous hardships and finally dispelled the fog that hid the crimes, revealed the organizational structure of Ai Wanxin's interest group, and restored the full truth of their criminal activities."

In the control room, Atlas saw a photo on the screen in advance and said in surprise: "Isn't this——"

Before he could finish his words, the terminal on his wrist buzzed with a message.

Atlas lowered his head and scanned the message, his eyes suddenly tightened, and when he raised his eyes again, there was an undisguised murderous intent in his eyes as he looked at Feng Mengduo's back.

Feng Mengduo was completely focused on the device that suddenly disconnected and then inexplicably restored. She didn't notice what Atlas said or why he suddenly swallowed his words.

The image on the screen changed as she operated. Ai Wanxin's photo shrank, and surrounding her portrait, several half-length photos of men appeared on the screen.

Yin Yanhan, Pei Junlin, He Yang, Qiong, Jing and Yi Shenshou were all on the list.

Caesar frowned: "No, why is there my cousin?"

Capello, who was sitting not far away, and Quan Zhengyu, who was sitting in the back row, widened their eyes, unable to believe what they saw.

Aren’t those men in the picture the sentinels following their master?

Could it be that......

They turned their gaze back to Ai Wanxin's face.

It really seems that this face matches the owner's aura better.

Feng Jingyi was not aware of the subtle change in the atmosphere below the stage. He said solemnly, "The interest group controlled by Ai Wanxin is composed of six major forces. She is like a star, the center of all actions and decisions of this organization."

"Among them, Yin Yanhan, a native of Thunder Bay, has lived in my country for many years and runs several companies. His business scope covers the import and export of high-end goods, customization and modification of top-level cars, oil and gas trade, renewable energy projects, and cutting-edge technology research and development."

A red line connected Ai Wanxin and Yin Yanhan. Feng Jingyi said, "On the surface, he is a successful young entrepreneur, but in fact, his true identity is the arms tycoon of Thunder Bay. He has been carrying out illegal arms smuggling activities under the cover of the Global Trading Company. He is a major source of funds for Ai Wanxin's interest group."

"Before the end of the world, they lived together in a certain community in Fengcheng, our country."

Four residential ownership certificates translated into the common language appeared on the light screen. They were 901, Building A, Maple City Peacock Bay, held by Ai Wanxin, and 902, 1001, and 1002, held by Yin Yanhan.

Qiong said coldly: "How can it be considered living together if we live upstairs and downstairs opposite each other?"

Chimera asked in confusion: "Yes, why do you have to buy four houses? Can't we just live together?"

Qiong, Yi Shenshou:......

Jon covered his forehead with a headache and said, "Listen to what he says about others first."

"Another major source of funds for Ai Wanxin's interest group comes from Pei's Enterprise, which was founded by Pei Junlin, one of the heirs of the Ancient Whale Group."

Following Feng Jingyi's voice, a red line connected Ai Wanxin and Pei Junlin, and another black line connected him and Yin Yanhan's photo together, temporarily forming a triangular structure.

"Pei Group's businesses include high-end hotel and resort businesses, film production and distribution, residential development and commercial real estate development, high-end catering, luxury goods and art auctions, charitable foundations, and investment support for top universities and research institutions around the world."

“These industries are also tasked with removing traces of funds from unknown sources among interest groups and making them legal.”

"In addition, the shipping business inherited from his family is deeply tied to the global trading company controlled by Yin Yanhan, which secretly provides containers and ships, port services and customs clearance assistance for the smuggling activities of the interest group."

Caesar curled up the corners of his lips and sneered, knowing that his uncle's family's huge business was not so clean!

The venue was very quiet, so Caesar's laughter seemed a little abrupt. Feng Jingyi quickly glanced at him, frowned slightly, and then said, "Among the top universities and research institutions supported by Pei's Enterprises, my country's Central Academy of Sciences accounts for about 10% of their donations and project funds."

A black line connected Pei Junlin and Yi Shenshou. At the same time, a solid line extended from the other side of Yi Shenshou's photo, and at the end of the line, Yan Shupei's photo appeared.

"Yan Shupei, the acting president of the Central Academy of Sciences, and his team received tens of billions of yuan in research funds from Pei's Enterprise before the end of the world, which they used to study gene editing and adaptive evolution."

“Gene editing?” The delegates in the meeting room whispered, “Is that what I think it means?”

"It's very likely..."

"Could it be that the experimental samples leaked due to the apocalyptic flood, causing the global mutation?"

"No way......"

Yan Shupei stood up on his knees and frowned, "That's nonsense. Before the end of the world, Pei did donate five buildings to the Central Academy of Sciences, including the new laboratory building of the Institute of Biology. They also funded some scientific research projects of the institutes, but not the projects of the Institute of Biology. Their company does not involve the field of biology at all!"

"I have never asked Junlin to provide ships and ports." Yin Yanhan suddenly said, "I have my own ship."

Ai Wanxin said with a smile: "Of course I know, I don't have such a profit group, right?"

On the podium, Feng Jingyi looked at the audience with satisfaction as they finally got excited. He wanted to achieve exactly this effect by changing the objects and projects of donation.

However, he did not immediately delve into the topic of gene editing. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "In addition to making arrangements in the business and academic circles, Ai Wanxin has also nurtured a group of people with profound academic backgrounds and policy influence, and sent them to think tanks in various countries to promote the implementation of policies that are beneficial to his interest groups."

A red line connected Ai Wanxin and Qiong together: "Tuoba Qiong, before the end of the world, worked as a senior policy analyst at the Center for Research on Space-Time Anomalies and Human Potential in my country. His main research areas were supernatural phenomena and abnormal abilities. After the end of the world, he was recommended by He Shifeng to join the Sigma Security Bureau, which manages sentinels and guides in my country, as a special consultant."

Ai Wanxin looked at Qiong with shining eyes: "Is our A-Qiong so powerful?"

The tip of Qiong's ears turned red, and he stroked the tip of her index finger and whispered, "This is nothing."
