"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, the situation will be unfavorable for us."
Patrick smiled faintly, giving Jane a sidelong glance, "Don't worry; I've got it under control. Jones won'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 the press conference, anticipating the revelation of the truth behind the "Ice and Fire" radioactive elements 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 flashes blinked 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 Group press 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's French manufacturing plant, I believe everyone has heard something. Today's press conference aims to clarify this matter."
"Mr. Jones, is it true that Pansy Group's 'Ice and Fire' indeed contains radioactive elements? How did 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 Pansy Group regarding this incident."
After a pause, Jones, reading from a script, mechanically stated, "The investigation into whether Pansy Group's 'Ice and Fire' jewelry series contained radioactive elements has confirmed that some raw materials in the number one warehouse of the French manufacturing plant did indeed contain radioactive elements."
"As for the reason for the problematic materials, it was the two administrators of the number one warehouse. Due to personal dissatisfaction with the company, they sought revenge and mixed materials with radioactive elements into the raw materials. As a result, the quality of the produced jewelry 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 one warehouse administrator smoking in violation of rules. The cigarette butt fell onto flammable and explosive raw materials, accidentally causing the explosion. The two deceased in the explosion were confirmed to be the warehouse administrators who tampered with the raw materials earlier."
