Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! - Chapter 1476
Chapter 1476 Money or Death
“Who’s the informant?”
Meng Chao’s mind raced.
Since the informant was familiar with the Red Creek Project’s inside story and was so resourceful, Ai Lei, who was pretending to be a reporter from The Dragon City Light, came to Shen Yulin and gave him an exclusive interview.
He had to be an insider of Universe Corporation or even a core member of the Shen family.
As for the purpose of inviting Ai Lei to investigate the Red Creek Project, it was not difficult to guess. It was nothing more than a game of intrigue, power struggle, and uneven distribution of the spoils.
Meng Chao estimated that the informant was coveting the “juicy meat” of the Red Creek Project and was jealous of Shen Yulin’s dog-shit luck. He also knew that Shen Yulin had violated the rules and secretly delivered crystals to the Shen family’s bigwigs.
Therefore, he wanted to use the scandal to bring Shen Yulin down.
However, the informant never expected that, firstly, there would be a huge difference between the actual and expected reserves of the Red Creek Project. It was not “juicy meat” at all, but a hot potato filled with barbs.
Secondly, not only had Shen Yulin violated the rules and secretly transported crystals to the Shen family behind the backs of the other shareholders and the Supernatural Tower, but he had also been bold enough to provide a large number of cultivation resources to the Blood Alliance!
It was just as Shen Yulin said. If every mining group and private mining team in Dragon City were to report every crystal mined to the Supernatural Tower and pay a full amount of resources tax, then only using the crystals for cultivation after obtaining approval from the Supernatural Tower, the sun would probably rise from the west!
reso
As long as one did not go too far, it was considered an unspoken rule within the industry. It had to be rectified, but as long as it did not run into a gun.., the problem was not as big as he had imagined. There was no need for Shen Yulin to take the risk.
But now, not only did Shen Yulin have a ghost in his heart, he was a ghost himself, a ghost from the Blood Union!
In this way, not only would the blood union be forced, they could only use the most intense means to clean up the mess.
Ai Lei and this informant had also placed themselves in an extremely dangerous situation.
The Blood Union would definitely do everything they could to find out their identities, find them, interrogate them, and silence them.
In other words, if Super Meng could find this informant earlier than the blood union, it was possible that he would be waiting for the opportunity to grab the blood union’s tail again!
“Who is the informant?”
Super Meng’s gaze was like lightning as he stared at AI lei.
“I, I don’t know. I don’t know the informant at all.”
Ai Lei also smelled danger from Meng Chao’s expression. She quickly shook her head.
“You don’t know the informant, yet the other party dares to entrust such an important matter like investigating the universal group to You?”
Meng Chao gave a faint smile.
“This, I feel that it must be because of my professionalism and professional ethics that I have a good reputation within the industry, right?”
Ai Lei Thought for a moment and said, “If a large media group like ‘Light of Dragon City’were to investigate this matter, their internal personnel would definitely have countless connections with the universal group. It would be very easy to alert them. “A smaller media group or a lone wolf like me often don’t have the ability and courage to investigate.
“I’m the only one who has the determination to stick to the truth and justice in the face of such a colossus as the Universal Corporation.
“It’s probably because of this that the informant came to me.”
Meng Chao narrowed his eyes.
By reading the micro-expressions, he realized that AI lei was not lying.
If he thought about it carefully, if the informant was only fighting for power and benefits and did not want to open the lid and expose the unspoken rules in the crystal mining circle to the public, he would have been the one who had the courage to do so.
It was indeed the best choice to look for a self-media person like ai lei, who had a certain amount of ability and traffic that could stimulate Shen Yuling’s nerves without blowing the matter up. or even if ai lei wanted to blow the matter up, the other party would have a hundred ways to put out the fire, it was indeed the best choice.
“How did the informant find you?”
Meng Chao continued to ask.
“Through a friend. Well, it’s not really a friend. We’re not that close.”
Ai lei said, “It’s through a broker. The informant didn’t show up during the whole process. He passed on the information and requests through this broker.”
“Then you should know this broker.”
Meng Chao said, “Tell me his name.”
“I can’t say that.”
Ai lei put on a bitter face. “There are rules in the industry. In our line of work, we often have to rely on these informants and brokers to provide information, pull in business, and gather intelligence, and their identities are often very sensitive.
“Selling out the informants and brokers is equivalent to ruining my job. If I dare say the name of the broker today, I will be completely disgraced in the circle tomorrow. No one will give me any more information. No one will help me contact any other business. Then, I won’t be able to survive at all
“It seems that you haven’t figured out the seriousness of the problem yet.”
Meng Chao said, “Do you think that the explosion of the crystal warehouse was really an accident?
“Today, these people dared to cause the explosion of the Crystal Warehouse, and the Orcs were also involved. Do you think that they will dare to kill you, the broker, and the informant without even blinking tomorrow?
“You are already at the end of your life, yet you are still pondering whether or not you can survive in the industry
“I know, I know, but… But…”
Ai lei was frowning and scratching her ears and cheeks. After hesitating for a long time, she checked Meng Chao’s expression and carefully said, “I’m not saying that I’m really not afraid of death. If you really want to know, I’m not either. I definitely can’t tell you the name of the broker.
“However, I hope that you understand that selling out the broker is really, really, really against my professionalism and my professional ethics. So, can you, can you…”
“Can what?”
Meng Chao frowned deeply.
“Can you give me a little more money?”
Ai lei rubbed her fingers and made a gesture of “Give me more money”.
Meng Chao was shocked.
He had never seen such a woman who was so desperate for money.
“I know. It must be very difficult for you to understand. You might even look down on people like me.”
Ai lei pretended to be pitiful again, “After all, Senior’s strength is unparalleled. The resources that you retrieved with just a casual attack are astronomical. I’m afraid that you have never been troubled by money in your entire life. How can you understand the hardships of us remnant star transcendents and ordinary people?
“You see, I’ve been injured before. I was bitten by the ‘intentionless spider’. The poison has penetrated deep into my bones and is completely incurable. Up until now, every time there is a continuous rain, my spiritual vein will feel a dull pain. Not only can I not cultivate to a higher level, but I also have to inject gene drugs every day to ensure that my extremely weak extraordinary strength will not be completely annihilated.
“Right now, the prices of all kinds of crystal resources are changing day by day, and they are rising rapidly.
“Without money, I’m really living a life worse than death.
“Also, also, I can’t only think about myself. I have to think about my broker friend. I have to spend a lot of money to appease his anger and pry open his mouth, right?”
Meng Chao snorted coldly.
“Of course. I believe that you have ten thousand ways to pry my broker friend’s mouth open without spending money. But there is one thing that I don’t know if you have considered.”
“Yes, “‘ai lei said. “The explosion of the crystal warehouse of the Red Creek Creek Creek project is something that can not be hidden no matter what. I’m afraid that the relevant news has already spread all over Dragon City.
“As a broker, of course, he is the most well-informed local snake.
“Do you think that my broker friend will still show his face foolishly when he hears that the crystal warehouse here exploded ‘inexplicably’on the day I came to investigate the Red Creek Project?”
Meng Chao was slightly dazed.
Ai Lei’s words made sense.
If he were the broker, he would have sensed the danger the moment he received the news. He would have guessed that the explosion of the Crystal Warehouse of the Red Creek project was not as simple as an ‘accident’.
‘I’had been dragged into an extremely dangerous swirl by accident. It was a routine operation to find a place to hide for half a month to check the situation.
Any broker who did not understand the logic would not have lived to this day.
“Please believe me, senior. I really do not know where the friend of the broker is hiding right now. I believe that he must have cut off all contact with the outside world, or at least with a big trouble like me.”
Ai lei said, “It’s not difficult to find him. Just throw money at him. As long as the money is in place, all sorts of people will know where he’s hiding.
“This is the simplest way.
“I think it’s also the most acceptable method for senior.
“After all, when you’ve cultivated to Senior’s realm, you must regard money as dirt. In your eyes, money is not a problem at all, right?”
Meng Chao felt his teeth ache.
Ai Lei was right. Generally speaking, for a godly state expert, a problem that could be solved with money wasn’t a problem at all.
In other words, without money, it was impossible to cultivate to the godly state.
However, Meng Chao’s situation was quite special.
For the time being, he didn’t want to expose his identity.
He didn’t know who could be trusted in the circle of extraordinary people in Dragon City. who could possibly be a member of the Blood Union like Shen Yulin.
He didn’t want to get involved in this extremely dangerous whirlpool for those who he could absolutely trust, such as his father, mother, and little sister. He even didn’t want to contact his family for the time being, he didn’t want the enemy to find out that he was still alive and use his family to threaten him.
When he left red gold city, “Jackal”kanus prepared a batch of rare treasures of the Tulan civilization for him.
This included the materials for totem beasts that had been processed by the Witch Doctor’s Secret Medicine for over a thousand years.
There were also divine weapons that had fused with spirit magnets.
These were all priceless treasures.
The problem was that these treasures were too eye-catching
It was impossible for Meng Chao to find a random market for monster materials and trade these exotic-style treasures that came from Tulan Ze.
That would definitely arouse the vigilance of the blood union.
“Eh?”
His expression stunned ai lei for a while, and then she asked in disbelief, “Senior, you… you don’t have money, right?”
