73 - The Suffering Didn't End (1)

* * *

A piece of news was anonymously sent to two of the major entertainment and publishing companies in the country—Sunrise Entertainment and E-Publishing. The content of the said news was so big that neither of them are able to ignore it. It included names of influential individuals—famous celebrities, businessmen, and even politicians—from in and out of the country involving drugs, corruption, and human slavery. It was a thick package containing not just names of the people's illegal activities and suggestive pictures of them on various occasions, but also the victims. It was the kind of news that could quickly cause an uproar the second it was out in the public.

Unfortunately, no one could tell if the source was legitimate unless they followed the instruction included in the number of files. The message printed in a piece of paper mentioned that if they wanted to verify the evidence, they would need inspector Ian Andrews Mo to verify it or else someone would try to cover it up. It was also indicated that the evidence they are holding was dangerous to possess and if they didn't want trouble, they could burn it down and act as if nothing had happened. Ian Andrews Mo, before it was even known that he was connected to Mo Hanlu and now married to him, it was already known that he was a truthful public officer who had a strong sense of justice so none of them doubted the message.

The head executive of Sunrise Entertainment also had a strong sense of justice so it wouldn't be so surprising that he would go ahead and verify the evidence that was in his hand. On the other hand, although the head of E-Publishing was different from his competitor, he desired exciting and profitable news, he simply couldn't let this opportunity slip from his hand just because he didn't want trouble. Furthermore, they both couldn't pass the chance to cripple two of their major competitors so they quickly went ahead and blasted Ian Andrews' contact number.

Thankfully, Ian and Hanlu were already oriented that this would happen so after Ian heard of such news from Mo Laotian, he efficiently worked all night and had not slept a wink, verifying each piece of evidence before sending it to his superiors. With this, even if the publishing companies where Tian Zi and Fyre gave the evidence decided not to get involved, Ian Andrews Mo could still work out their plan smoothly.

Fortunately, the piece of news was irresistible enough for the two companies to ignore it. And knowing that inspector Andrews already knew of the case, they couldn't help but wonder why such a massive amount of evidence was sent to them as well? It was a question they already guessed the answer to. It was because the sender wanted this to be out in the public. It's already a given that if this was from the police alone, a lot of the information they held now would be kept from the public and it would be difficult for them to dig up some information later on considering this was such a huge case.

[@sophia062177 Oh My Gosh! Did you all watch the flash news? More than a hundred people were arrested early this morning across the country including the Governor of the city. The others are also very influential individuals in their fields, the news said that they're all involved in many illegal acts including corruption, drugs, and even human trafficking. I was so shocked to have woken up to such news!]

[@streamgagaoolala @sophia062177 Yes! I saw it and read articles online! There were also so many bad rumors about the Governor but he had many people helping him hide it but now everything is out. I can't say he didn't deserve it.]

[@rainepuljanan There were a lot of companies involved including ABC Entertainment and Dawn Publishing's CEO, some famous directors, movie producers, and actors mostly from them too. A number of executives from Sullen Corporation are arrested as well and there are a few in other big companies. Even Mo Empire didn't escape, they also have executives who got involved. The mayor of city N and governor of city Z were included too and a lot more. It's like someone was purging all the rotten individuals in the country.]
