However, Yan Fei immediately came to a realization. Old Man Gu probably really possessed the ability to foresee the future. He predicted Yan Fei's actions and cut off the leads in advance, making sure Yan Fei couldn't find him. Since Yan Fei couldn't see the future himself, it was natural that he couldn't trace Old Man Gu's whereabouts.

Unable to receive guidance from the future, Yan Fei could only rely on himself. Just as he and Lu Pingping were brewing a counterattack against the rumors on the Internet, a company called Wangde Food jumped out and began a major promotion of their nutritional biscuits, with weight loss as their key selling point. From their promotional images, Wangde Food's product was strikingly similar to Dream Foods' weight loss cookies. Moreover, in their promotions, they subtly hinted at a connection with Dream Foods, implying that their product was the same.

Upon discovering Wangde Food's promotion, Yan Fei was greatly invigorated because the shadowy organization behind the scenes was finally surfacing. As long as they hid underground, he was powerless since he didn't know who his adversary was. But once they surfaced and their adversary was clear, Yan Fei had plenty of ways to deal with them.

In conjunction with Wangde Food's extensive promotion, several agents who had previously terminated their partnership with Dream Foods also started to promote, claiming that they would launch this epoch-making weight loss cookie together with Wangde Food. To give back to consumers, Wangde Food priced its products very affordably at 500 yuan per box, guaranteeing the weight loss effectiveness of the cookies with the credibility that they had once sold Dream Foods products.

Yan Fei watched calmly, knowing that Wangde Food and its colluding agents were about to make their move. However, they had had a short time to acquire the weight loss cookie's manufacturing process and hadn't produced any product samples. In their minds, as long as they had the complete manufacturing process of their competitor, they could definitely produce the product. Their early promotion was aimed at gaining time so that, once their product was made, they could seize Dream Foods' market share. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Yan Fei activated his Drone Avatar and connected to the Internet using Quantum Radar, instructing the Auxiliary Brain to search for information on Wangde Food online. He then discovered that this Wangde Company had only been established for two years, with its headquarters in the provincial capital of a neighboring province, Hang City. But in these two years, they had engaged only in some trade reselling. They imported products from overseas and then found distributors domestically to sell them. Their business had neither grown nor declined, it was tepid, and no one had paid them much attention.

Yet, Yan Fei felt there was something unusual about this company, or rather, the forces behind it. From their advertising, it appeared they had already obtained Dream Foods' weight loss cookie's manufacturing process. Previously, to avoid further exposure, Yan Fei hadn't patented this manufacturing process, which was why Wangde Food dared to openly use Dream Foods' process without fearing legal action.

Therefore, Yan Fei instructed the Auxiliary Brain to intensify the collection of information online, and then he discovered that under the name of Wangde Food was a Foreign Waste Recycling Company. This recycling company specialized in recovering refuse from Europe, America, and Japan, and then shipped it back to be sorted and processed domestically. The foreign waste recycling industry was very profitable, but it greatly damaged the environment and introduced a risk of infectious sources and bacteria that could harm the workers at the sorting plants as well as the surrounding population. So the country banned the import of foreign waste last year unless it met national standards, and as a result, these import companies went out of business.

But just a month ago, the national authorities caught a batch of illegally imported foreign waste, among which was the Foreign Waste Recycling Company under Wangde Food. Dangerous substances and bacteria were found in the waste they imported, posing severe harm to the sorting workers and the local environment, which led to their business license being revoked by the relevant state departments as a stringent penalty.

On the surface, there didn't seem to be any connection between Wangde Food Company and the waste sorting plant, and they never mentioned each other's names in any context. However, the Auxiliary Brain's data collection ability was formidable, and it uncovered a lead in an equity structure chart issued by an entity based in Hongkong, which indicated that Wangde Food was the waste sorting plant's largest shareholder with an 85% stake.

After this equity structure chart was published, someone deleted it, and it was only cited on another virtually unread zombie website. That's why the Auxiliary Brain found this clue on that site, and why no one noticed any relationship between Wangde Food Factory and the waste sorting plant.

Having discovered this covert relationship between Wangde Food and the waste sorting plant, Yan Fei grew even more suspicious. Even if a food factory had a subordinate waste sorting plant, it wouldn't matter much, but why go to such lengths to hide their relationship? He then again tasked the Auxiliary Brain to gather information from overseas networks.

A day later, the Auxiliary Brain finally found Wangde Food's name in an investment report from a Japanese company called Oogawa Finance. According to the report, Oogawa Finance invested ten million US Dollars in Wangde Food for a 95% stake, which meant full control. Even though the report referred to Wangde Food using Pinyin without writing the Chinese characters, the Auxiliary Brain still recognized the description of Wangde Company within it, confirming that Wangde Food had accepted the investment from Oogawa Finance, which was its controlling shareholder. Oogawa Finance was a Japanese financial giant with vast influence and power in Japan.

Yan Fei had only sought to find out the details of Wangde Food but had unexpectedly uncovered the fact that it was a Japanese-owned company, which left him somewhat dumbfounded. After all, in public, Wangde Food had always promoted patriotic philosophies and showed no indication of being a Japanese-owned enterprise. And now, this Japanese-owned company had emerged. Could it be determined that the leak of his company's processes was related to the Japanese?
