Chapter 500 - The Surprising Informant (2/2)
“Have you found out who the Fog is?” Xiao Luo asked.
Qiu Yuanjie shook his head and said, “About this… nope. But I am sure that the people inside will know, so we just have to interrogate them one by one.”
“That’s probably the only way.”
Xiao Luo had quite some respect for the Fog as he could execute such a large-scale MLM event without even showing himself at all. He was indeed a genius.

The MLM company was not aware that it was being surrounded by the government departments. Both Xiao Luo and Qiu Yuanjie had attended the gathering as ordinary civilians, so the MLM staff did not detect anything suspicious. Instead, they had very passionate smiles on their faces when greeting them.
“They promoted and built the image of the speaker as a successful world-class public figure and even photoshopped him with the leaders of various countries for authenticity. There are twenty-six MLM people who are involved in this scam here and they are all at managerial levels. If we can arrest them, we will be able to trace their downlines and arrest every one of them. After today, there will not be any more MLM personnel in Xiahai City.” Qiu Yuanjie said to Xiao Luo with high confidence.
“Hopefully.”
Xiao Luo found a spot to sit down.
At this time, a group of men in suits emerged from backstage to the podium.
“Allow me to introduce everyone to this very special man—here he is, Mr. Guan, the managing director in charge of the Southeast Asia branch of the Atlantic Business Investment Group. Now, we are honored to have Mr. Guan to give us a few words and you can ask him any questions that you have. He is the expert of this industry when it comes to investments,” the master of ceremony made the introduction to the three thousand people in the hall.
Some applauses were heard, but they were not too enthusiastic. It could be due to Mr. Guan, who looked relatively young, making the audience feeling unconvinced. After all, there were many stories about self-made millionaires these days, so it was difficult to tell if these people were telling the truth or not. Some people had already started to question if they have been scammed.
As for Xiao Luo, he was utterly shocked because Mr. Guan was none other than his old classmate, Guan Tong.
He donned in a suit and wore a tie, looking very sharp like a genuinely successful member of society!
“What’s he doing here?” Xiao Luo questioned.
“Mr. Xiao, do you know him?” Qiu Yuanjie was caught off-guard.
Xiao Luo nodded. “I do,” he said.
Qiu Yuanjie looked around briefly, and after ensuring that nobody was looking at them, he whispered into Xiao Luo’s ears, “Actually, he is our informant. He started the anti-MLM operations eight years ago. He told us that his parents had divorced because of MLM activities, so he hated them very much. He even gave up the opportunity to attend a university and became our informant directly. He had infiltrated into the core of the MLM company successfully and have become their star speaker, which enabled him to provide information for our every operation.”
Xiao Luo was thoroughly stunned. Was this the same Guan Tong, who once claimed that he was only interested in talents instead of education, who started this anti-MLM operation eight years ago? He actually managed to rise up his ranks to become the company’s star speaker and provide insiders’ information and evidence to the police.
This was totally out of his expectation!
No wonder Guan Tong could acquire the news of Guo Qinghe getting jailed so quickly. And it was also how he knew that Zhao Mengqi was manipulated by Guo Qinghe.
This was the actual reason how he knew. Guan Tong was the police’s informant, the star speaker of the MLM company!
“This dude is really good at disguising.”
Xiao Luo muttered as he stared at Guan Tong in bewilderment. He was on stage and looking successful and energetic at the podium. Xiao Luo could only smile to himself.
