For the next month, Bruce's life was extremely fulfilling.

While waiting for the news from Clark, while investigating the case of the metal man before, in the little time left, he had to keep an eye on the stock market and buy and sell in time.

Bruce simply suspected that this was retribution for him not being in the unit all the year round and throwing all the work to his subordinates. He felt that if Lucius could see him now, he would not be able to help crying.

The only good news is that the funds in his hands have reached a relatively considerable number, which is enough to enter the second phase of the plan.

He sold all other shares, injected all the funds into a scientific research institution, increased his shares to 51% in one breath, and became the largest shareholder of this department.

He is very interested in the recent research and development project of this institution. According to his investigation, the research has reached the stage of promotion, but because of the friction between the former shareholders and the lawsuit involving the capital injection party, there are problems in the capital chain. The research results It was too late to publish, so he gave them a way to survive. When the handover was handed over, the chief person in charge of the research institute held his hand and almost cried.

This is the first time Baby Bruce has been so popular among the staff.

But the Metal Man case has reached a stalemate, the clues left at the scene were artificially erased, and the Metal Man himself is still obediently staying in prison, it is obviously not a good idea to lurk in and listen to the news face to face.

But the detective's intuition told Bruce that this incident was not an act of personal revenge against Superman by the metal man as reported by the police. He believed that there must be some conspiracy hidden behind it, and there was a high probability that there would be follow-up incidents.

Sure enough, the harbinger of the storm first appeared in the third month after the incident, a video was sent online by a media reporter.

In the video, a haggard woman hugged her two children and cried in front of the camera about what happened to her. Her husband was seriously injured when he was hit by flying stones trying to protect them in the previous incident. It was destroyed in that battle.

The woman in the video broke down and burst into tears. They did not receive any compensation or assistance, and the remaining assets were not enough to pay for the high medical expenses. Her husband passed away an hour ago, and they had nothing left. There is no way to continue living.

As soon as the video came out, it was tantamount to setting off a storm on the Internet.

Although the woman in the video did not say a word about Superman, after the video was released, the center of public opinion was all on Superman.

Some say it's not Superman's fault, but Metal Man's crimes.

Some people say that Superman obviously has such magical abilities, why didn't he help them.

Some people say that Superman has helped many people, and he should not be blamed for all the problems because of these individual cases.

Some people say what Superman uses to measure who should be saved and who should not be saved. The people who should really be helped die in pain in the hospital, but the heroes of the metropolis would rather hang around on the streets to save those stray cats.

……

There is also a kind of speech that quietly popped up on the Internet. Some people began to miss the days before the appearance of Superman. Although there would still be all kinds of dangers in the world without superheroes, at least there were no super criminals that humans could not fight back then.

Bruce noticed the report for the first time, but unlike the public, he noticed that the collapse in the woman's expression was not so much caused by despair as fear.

Someone is threatening them...

It's a conspiracy against Superman, and Bruce knows it.

If all this happened in his original world, then he could easily influence the direction of public opinion and resolve this crisis invisible.

...but not here.

"Clark, are you there?"

Bruce immediately called the little reporter, luckily, the call was answered in time.

The little reporter on the other end of the phone should have seen the report, his voice was full of confusion and pain, but he replied with all his energy, "What's wrong?"

"Tell your super friends to find the woman in the video immediately, they may be about to die"

The phone was hung up immediately.

Bruce didn't know if it was useful to do so. He knew very well that the person who planned all this would not leave such a big handle. The chances of the three people surviving were very slim, and they might even die before the video was uploaded.

Although Bruce hoped that his judgment was wrong this time, the three corpses displayed in the news report undoubtedly shattered all hopes.

On TV, Superman knelt down on one knee and gently placed the body of the little boy in his arms on the ground.

His eyelids drooped slightly, his sky-like pure eyes were full of sadness, and he looked extremely sad.

In stark contrast to the gleefully scrambling journalists who surrounded him with guns and guns, asking him what he thought of the online debate.

"Have you had enough! Have you had enough!" A high-pitched female voice overwhelmed the crowd, and the people fell silent, looking at the source of the voice.

Louis stepped on high-heeled shoes, threatening this way, and shouted angrily as he walked, "We are reporters, we are not paparazzi, what we should do is to tell the truth to the public, not to pay attention to gossip and gossip! Someone died now. Now, you are not paying attention to the dead, but arguing about those baseless comments on the Internet."

She stood still in front of Clark, passed the microphone in her hand, and said in a firm tone, "Planet Daily, Louis Lane, I would like to ask what is your opinion on this incident?"

"This is a...conspiracy." Clark stood up, his gentle smile turned serious, looking extremely serious.

There was a gasp from the crowd, and a reporter immediately asked if there was evidence.

"Please believe me, I will investigate this matter and give the deceased an explanation."
