I started out as a criminal, and the police relied on me to solve countless cases.

Chapter 296 Believe in Science
Jiang Hanwen didn't understand the old man's purpose for a moment.

He pushed the old man's wheelchair through the Parthenon-like corridor.

In the lamps on both sides, the white-brown flames burned straight. The wind was strong outside, but the flames still burned straight.

The old man didn't seem to be worried about his own safety, even though he looked extremely weak. After all, at the age of 110, he would have been a true centenarian, like Peng Zu in the past.

"Old man, you should know that our positions are contradictory. You can discuss business, but if you want to help me, you have found the wrong person. If I were in your position, I would push you down the stairs and kill you right now."

Jiang Hanwen didn't want to play along with him. This man in the wheelchair was the source of all evil in the world and the devil's spokesperson on earth.

The Communist Party manipulates the world's food, energy, economy, subverts regimes, assassinates, launches color revolutions, and launches wars.
The evil deeds they committed have killed millions of people. Any brutal and cruel murderer is nothing but a harmless little white rabbit in front of them.

"Hahaha, little brother, you are such a wonderful person."

When the old man heard Jiang Hanwen say that he wanted to throw him to death, he didn't get angry. Instead, he started laughing. His voice was as sharp as an old crow waiting for rotten meat on a tree. The beard on his mouth trembled up and down, and it was stained with a lot of saliva.

"You know, no one has ever dared to talk to me like this, not even the Pope. You are really interesting."

"How can I bear to kill you when you are like this?"

The old man's smile suddenly stopped, and as he changed the subject, a terrifying murderous aura erupted from his whole body.

He had his back to Jiang Hanwen, but the murderous aura that was as if the emperor would kill millions of people in anger made Jiang Hanwen's whole body stand on end.

Not only that, Jiang Hanwen suddenly felt his temples throbbing, as if his life was about to be harvested at any time.

There are at least ten sniper positions around here. As long as he makes any unnecessary dangerous moves, a dozen snipers will immediately shoot him into pieces.

"Hahaha, just kidding, just kidding, don't worry, I can't bear to kill you."

The old man laughed again and waved his hand casually, asking Jiang Hanwen to continue pushing the cart.

"You really want to kill me?"

The old man became the same exhausted and weak-voiced man again. He spoke in a muffled voice, as if he couldn't even take a breath.

"Really, under the premise of ensuring my own safety, I will kill you without hesitation."

Jiang Hanwen didn't waste any words, he just curled his lips.

"But now, let's talk about business. Hehe, we Chinese people believe that harmony brings wealth."

Jiang Hanwen would naturally not act rashly and do anything out of line to the president.

If he let the old man get a scratch on his skin, not only he himself, but also Mr. Xiao Lin and Liu Mingyang who were eating in the hall would be killed.

As for confronting the world's largest organization, this arduous task should be left to the bigwigs in the capital.

It's better for a small fry like him to make money honestly.

"To be honest, there aren't many Chinese people who speak as bluntly as you do, but you have the qualifications."

The old man's tone suddenly became lively.

"I really have something to ask of you. The conditions I just set are still valid. If you want to become the richest man in the world, I can even help you do it."

"President, there is something wrong with what you said. If you are the richest man in the world, and you help me become the richest man in the world, then are you still the richest man in the world?"

Jiang Hanwen's mouth was like a tongue twister. Although he didn't mean to beat around the bush with the old man, he was indeed very curious about the topic of the world's richest man. There are a bunch of rich people on the Forbes list, with a net worth of tens of billions or even hundreds of billions. Are they the richest people in the world?
"Young man, your understanding of the concept of rich people is too superficial."

The old man answered slowly, tapping his fingers rhythmically on the armrest of his wheelchair.

"Wealth is a broad term. Holding stocks worth tens of billions of dollars and holding tens of billions of general equivalents that will not depreciate are two different concepts."

"not understand?"

"I don't understand. General equivalent? Isn't it just money?"

"For example, if I now declare Musk's membership invalid, expel him from the club, and no longer support any of his business activities, then his stock will fall to junk stocks tomorrow morning. How much of his wealth will be left?"

"Young man, the essence of wealth is power, the right to make and interpret rules. As for the so-called richest people, they are just smart people who are good at using rules and firmly uphold them."

"As for who is smart, I have the final say."

The old man's voice was very soft, but Jiang Hanwen did not doubt what he said.

The treasury of Shen Wansan's family was richer than the national treasury, and they were truly wealthy enough to rival a country. However, this angered the emperor, who casually charged him with treason, confiscated his property and exterminated his clan overnight, and confiscated all his huge wealth.

People like the old man who can influence elections do have the ability to decide who will be the richest man.

"President, I'm just an actor, at most a half-detective. You keep asking me to be the richest man and want to trade with me for priceless treasures. But there's one good thing about me. I know my own worth."

Jiang Hanwen stopped his wheelchair and spread his hands.

"If you want me to make a documentary about your eventful life, I can do it. Of course, it's a little expensive, but you get what you pay for."

"Jiang Hanwen!"

The old man seemed to be angry and yelled at the top of his voice.

"Don't play dumb in front of me. The chips I offer are the only ones in the world. What do you want?"

"President, I really don't know!"

Jiang Hanwen was confused. What on earth did this old man want to do?

"I am 110 years old this year. It is a miracle that my body has survived until now. I have tried every possible way to prolong my life. Now I am at the end of my rope and may die at any time."

"I know everything about you, detective, right? In the past few decades, whether in the East or the West, there have been countless people who claim to be prophets, God, Buddha, immortals, and Allah. Without exception, they are all liars. I have sent many of them to see God."

The old man stroked his beard and calmed down a little.

"I have read every single one of your case files. My conclusion is that there are only two possibilities. First, you really are a prophet with the ability to predict the future. Second, you traveled from the future and know what is about to happen now."

Jiang Hanwen swallowed and didn't respond.

Who would have thought that the guy standing at the pinnacle of power in this world would have such a rich imagination.

"what do you say?"

"President, I think we should believe in science"
