It must be said that for Will and Med’s subordinates to investigate this thoroughly, part of it was due to Wu Hao’s carelessness in not having the AI erase the traces he left behind. Another factor was the substantial resources the families behind these two individuals possessed.

In less than two days, they had systematically explored all possibilities, and indeed, they managed to pinpoint Wu Hao as the primary suspect.

Although they currently only suspected Wu Hao, he was the most significant suspect among all their leads.

The reason was simple: whether it was Wu Hao’s rise to power or the recent disturbances he caused in Hong Kong and various clues in Las Vegas, they all pointed to a mysterious aura about him that was hard for ordinary people to fathom.

And after these two families’ investigation, that mystery deepened, making him even more suspicious. After all, anyone who they couldn’t fully investigate must have an extraordinary background.

“It seems that this Oriental man is indeed the prime suspect. However, there is one question: how did he manage to leave Las Vegas with the items in such a short time?” Despite the mounting evidence pointing toward Wu Hao, how he escaped after the incident was their biggest puzzle.

Meanwhile, as Will and Med shifted their focus to Wu Hao and began investigating him through the resources of the DuPont and Rothschild families, the AI promptly reported this news to Wu Hao.

Initially, Wu Hao thought there was no way the investigation would lead back to him. But it was clear he had underestimated the power of the DuPont and Rothschild families in the U.S. Everyone knew that for years, the U.S. had been collecting identity information and monitoring citizens worldwide through various methods.

Although many governments around the world might have been doing this secretly, the exposure of the U.S.’s surveillance scandal a few years ago had a significant impact on the government at the time.

And as for the families and conglomerates that truly controlled the U.S., they were naturally well aware of this. So, if they wanted to investigate someone, they could quickly access U.S. government agencies to gather the needed information.

“BOSS, the DuPont and Rothschild families are now aware of you. Do you want me to use some methods to block them?” Zero asked Wu Hao while reporting the news.

The methods Zero referred to came in many forms. The simplest and softest approach would be to erase unfavorable information about Wu Hao from the internet. If violence was needed, there were plenty of options.

After all, Zero was currently the only and the most powerful god of the internet. Anything connected to the internet could be monitored or even destroyed by Zero.

“For now, there’s no need to do anything. They’re only suspicious of me, but they don’t have direct evidence to confirm it’s me. If we act now to erase traces and information, it’ll only confirm their suspicions. Let’s just wait and see how things develop. After all, the meteorite is already back at the base for research. I’m not worried about them causing any trouble for me,” Wu Hao replied. He knew they had noticed him, but if he had Zero erase the traces now, it would only appear more suspicious.

Moreover, Wu Hao’s public identity was already legendary. Anyone with some insight would understand that his rise to power couldn’t have happened without some extraordinary opportunity or background. So, no matter how much he tried to hide it, he couldn’t change that fact.

Unless Wu Hao had chosen to completely remain in the shadows from the start, but that was simply impossible. No matter how well he hid, how could he explain his family and the assets he currently possessed?

Therefore, it was inevitable that he would attract attention from these powerful factions. In fact, even a few months ago, Wu Hao’s profile had already landed on the desk of certain domestic authorities.

However, since Wu Hao hadn’t done anything too earth-shattering in China and every penny of his wealth had come from legitimate sources, his rise was legendary but still within the realm of acceptability.

Thus, the domestic authorities had merely kept a mild watch on Wu Hao and hadn’t sent anyone to meet with him.

But after the recent events in Hong Kong, where Wu Hao caused quite a stir, those same authorities who had only been mildly interested now began seriously investigating him. However, since Wu Hao stayed in Hong Kong for only a day or two, the domestic agencies shelved their plan to meet with him for the time being.

On the other hand, after reviewing the information their subordinates had gathered, Will and Med, although unsure how Wu Hao left Las Vegas, wouldn’t miss the chance to recover the meteorite now that there was progress.

Moreover, Wu Hao held citizenship of an Eastern country, and given the current geopolitical relations, both Russia and this Eastern country were the two powers America was most wary of.

The black meteorite, now preliminarily identified as a material with special properties for biological gene evolution, was obviously of immense importance, even with just this small piece of information.

Initially, the dispute over the meteorite’s ownership was an internal competition among American families. But now that the meteorite had likely been taken by Wu Hao, who had ties to this Eastern power, it was the last thing these deeply entrenched American families wanted to see.

After all, America’s interests were intertwined with those of these families. Normally, no matter how much they competed, when it came to protecting their shared interest—America—these families would find common ground, and Congress members would inevitably reach a tacit agreement.

“Boss, they’re still in South America. According to the data, this man named Wu Hao is accompanying his family on a world tour and should be staying in South America for a few more days. We can send people to track and investigate him in South America. Once we confirm the meteorite’s presence, we can take action,” one of Will’s subordinates suggested.

Both Will and Med didn’t object, clearly seeing this as the best approach for now. After all, after days of searching in Las Vegas, it seemed unlikely the meteorite was still there.
