It's Love That Blinds Him
It’s Love That Blinds Him – Chapter 150

With the convenience of the Internet these days, the speed at which news travels has doubled. As the saying goes, good news never spreads, while bad news spreads thousands of miles. Although the Evans Group spent a lot of manpower and money to take over all the newspapers that disadvantaged the Evans Group that day in South Africa, it could not stop the news from spreading. Even in Strinas, which was far away, the news was also widely spread. Some journalists even obtained the local newspaper in South Africa and translated it on the spot.

In an instant, the door of Evans Group was blocked by a large number of reporters. The Evans group’s advertising department held a press conference on this subject. They solemnly declared that this matter was completely a malicious and mischievous plot of their competitor. If anyone continued to publicize the matter, the Evans Group would sue them and protect their own reputation.

With the tough style of the Evans Group, the news broadcast inside the country was suppressed, but public opinion could not be suppressed. The spread of the news more or less dealt a definite blow to the Evans Group, but it was only a slight aftershock and did not have much impact.

“Malcolm, what if I flew to South Africa in person?” » Enoch said to Malcolm, who stood in front of the window in silence.

Through the French window, Malcolm looked at the reporters who were waiting outside the building and still wouldn’t leave. He was thinking about what had happened recently. It seemed like a coincidence, but how could things be so coincidental? In order to prevent the same mistake from happening again, Byron had even investigated all the dark forces and found nothing abnormal.

Was it really just a business battle as it seemed? Who was the opponent? Why did they do this? Suddenly, Malcolm turned around and looked at Enoch for a long moment. Enoch was a little confused by her look. Enoch frowned slightly and was about to ask, but was interrupted by Malcolm.

“If this is a trade battle, what do you think our opponent wants? Malcolm asked lightly.

“Anyone can imagine how much money and manpower it would take to operate a mine. Once something unexpected happened, it would definitely affect the group’s capital chain. If it was not possible to remedy this in time, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“I will fly to South Africa myself. You stay in Strinas. Report to me if anything happens,” Malcolm said, glancing at Enoch.

“Malcolm…” Before Enoch could say anything more, he was stopped by Malcolm’s eyes.

He sighed helplessly. No one could change a decision Malcolm had made. But in these troubled times, it really wasn’t appropriate for Malcolm to go anywhere. Enoch broke the wall with resentment. Maybe he was really thinking too much.

After staring at Malcolm for a long time, he turned and left the latter’s office. Malcolm continued to look at a certain place. Not only did Lucia have many memories of Strinas, but so did he. He had always thought that he would not be affected by these things, but over time he had lost himself, and these kinds of memories were slowly eroding his nerves. Sometimes when he woke up from a dream, he was also afraid of sweating.

The issue in South Africa could be serious or trivial. He didn’t need to take care of it himself. Only Malcolm himself knew that deep in his heart he also wanted to escape. He subconsciously wanted to escape from here. He didn’t want to breathe in the city where he shared the same memories with Lucia.

When the plane landed in South Africa, Calvin and Byron were already waiting for Malcolm at the airport. Byron drove, while Calvin dutifully reported on the situation in South Africa.

“Sir. Evans, it’s my fault. Please punish me.” After reporting, Calvin apologized.

For Malcolm’s subordinates, it was absolutely more useful to admit mistakes than to quibble in front of him. There was a small chance for the first to move on, while the second would be directly kicked out of the group and would never be able to be hired again. Everyone would choose the former choice.

“Have you been in contact with these two journalists? Malcolm asked, ignoring Calvin’s excuses.

“Yes. Under pressure from senior leaders at their headquarters, they issued a statement of apology. But…” With cold sweat on his forehead, Calvin glanced at Malcolm. Then he bit the bullet and continued: “It is impossible to take back all the information that has been revealed. More or less, it will have a negative impact on the reputation of the group, and there will be destabilizing factors for the future mining.” After saying this, Calvin remained silent.

This was the first time he reported to Malcolm alone face to face. He was afraid of sweating everywhere. Only now did he know why the group’s senior executives were so likely to have stomach aches and headaches. After this report, he may not be able to eat well and feel calm for several days. Thinking that Malcolm would be staying in South Africa for a while, he couldn’t help but feel extremely stressed.

“Director Lamont, do you know what the mine in South Africa means to our group? I hope Enoch didn’t recommend the wrong person,” Malcolm said indifferently after listening to his report.

“Yes. I’ll do my best,” Calvin promised.

The car finally stopped in front of the mine. Dressed in a formal suit, Malcolm did not fit the atmosphere of the mine. The new security guards at the entrance wanted to greet Malcolm. However, with Byron’s suspicion with his eyes, they abandoned their original idea and continued to maintain a fixed posture as if nothing had happened. “Calvin, go forward

with your work. Byron, follow me.” After chasing Calvin away, Malcolm said to Byron.

The two entered the mine office area in tandem. Before Malcolm sat down, they inexplicably felt a slight tremor. Byron, follow me.” quickly stood in front of Malcolm to protect him. The two looked at each other and shouted in their hearts: “Oh no! Then they quickly left the office. As expected, the most terrible thing happened.

Earlier at the start of the investigation, the group’s scientific research staff said that a certain stratum of this mine was too soft, so a landslide could occur. Another accident occurred before the previous one was resolved. The pit suddenly collapsed, stirring up dust everywhere, accompanied by the screams of the miners.

“Save the people first and block the news,” Malcolm quickly ordered.

Byron quickly transferred his men and headed towards the pit. He joined the rescue team. The affected miners were quickly sent to the temporary medical station aside to simply treat their external injuries caused by the falling rocks. A psychologist came forward to comfort the minors.

Before the radiation was resolved, the landslide occurred at the mine. Either could lead to internal unrest in the mine, not to mention the external impact.

After stabilizing the situation in the mine for the time being, Malcolm walked towards the office with a gloomy face, followed by all the members of the mining development team. He sat in the middle of the meeting room, and Byron stood behind him. With a deathly pale face, Calvin looked at Malcolm’s dark face before him, thinking he was doomed.

“And the victims? » Malcolm asked grimly.

“There were thirty people in the pit. Eighteen of them died and eight were seriously injured and sent to hospital. Four with minor injuries were treated at the scene,” Calvin quickly sorted out and reported the data.

Malcolm rubbed his aching head. Too many chaotic things were confusing his mind. The series of things made it difficult for him to keep calm as usual .South Africa was not an absolute sphere of influence of the Evans family. Now that such a thing had happened, it would definitely bring them a lot of unnecessary trouble. “How is the

previous matter going?” » He asked.

“The autopsy result has just come out. These miners had slight radiation, but it was not caused by long-term radiation in the mine, but seemed to be man-made at a later stage. Their organ failure appeared to be related to radiation, but the autopsy proved that their organs had already been invaded by toxins, which was the most fundamental reason for their organ failure. This authoritative report from the hospital could calm the agitated public. But now another accident has happened…” Calvin responded quickly. As long as he thought of the chaotic situation in front of him, he suddenly felt a headache.

“Byron, thoroughly investigate the cause of the “pit collapse,” Malcolm told Byron after listening to Calvin’s report.

“Yes,” Byron replied and respectfully left.

As soon as he heard the hospital report, Malcolm was sure that the several miners who had been infected by radiation must have been deliberately arranged by someone to work in the mine. It was not difficult to imagine that the journalists who had appeared in the mine must have known about the news. Otherwise, they would not have appeared immediately after the accident. Such being the case… Malcolm looked down and lost himself in thought.

If he guessed correctly, the unilateral pressure from the Evans group would not have much impact on If the landslide in the mine was a man-made accident this time, journalists would show up here again. Who was behind all this? Looking down, Malcolm shifted the direction of the cell phone in his hand and dialed a familiar number.

“How is the investigation into Douglas going?” » Malcolm asked directly after the phone was picked up.

“Just like the previous background investigation, nothing serious was found. However, when Douglas accepted his parents’ inheritance, there was a period of time that had been encrypted, which could not be deciphered for now. It would take some time,” Enoch said quickly, looking at the document he had just received.

“Find it. Maybe that’s the problem,” Malcolm ordered in a low voice. Then he gave a general description of what had just happened here to Enoch. “

Malcolm, do you need me to go?” Enoch said after a moment of silence.

“No need at the moment. We will think about it after we replace out about Douglas’s problem,” Malcolm denied his proposal and ordered directly.

“Yes.”

Malcolm hung up the phone. He casually placed his phone on the table. He turned on the laptop he had brought with him. When the system was connected, his eyes fell on the red dot again. Lucia was still in Spain. She hadn’t left. So Malcolm was sure Lowell never left either.

What was the problem?
