"Who exactly was the whistleblower?"
Meng Chao's thoughts raced.
Since the whistleblower knew the inside story of the Red Creek Project and possessed such uncanny capabilities, even arranging for Ai Lei, posing as a Dragon City Light reporter, to conduct a solemn, exclusive interview with Shen Yulin...
He had to be an insider at Cosmos Group, perhaps even a core member of the Shen family.
As for why he had asked Ai Lei to investigate the Red Creek Project, that was not hard to guess. It was nothing more than the usual schemes and intrigues—fighting for power, scrambling for profit, and falling out over an uneven division of spoils.
Meng Chao guessed that the whistleblower coveted the juicy morsel that was the Red Creek Project, envied Shen Yulin's absurd stroke of luck, and knew something about Shen Yulin secretly and illegally funneling crystal stones to the Shen family's higher-ups.
So he wanted to use this scandal to bring Shen Yulin down.
But the whistleblower had never imagined that, first, the Red Creek Project's actual reserves differed enormously from its projected reserves. It was not a juicy morsel at all, but a scorching hot potato studded with barbs.
Second, Shen Yulin had not merely concealed his illegal, secret transfers of crystal stones to the Shen family from the other shareholders and the Superhuman Tower. He had also been audacious enough to supply the Blood Alliance with vast amounts of cultivation resources!
Just as Shen Yulin had said, if every mining corporation and private mining crew in Dragon City reported every crystal stone they excavated to the Superhuman Tower in a proper manner, paid the full resource tax, and waited for the Superhuman Tower's review and approval before using them for cultivation, then the sun would rise in the west!
