Chapter 674 - Caught in a Trap (1/2)

The sun had risen amidst the cold breeze of autumn. People woke up to the news of another controversy encircling the Guan Empire.

The topic became hot immediately.

In the past few days, fraud identity scandals and the murder involving the new head of the Guan Empire spread in the news channels and social media day after day. But with the Guan Empire's influence, it got buried quickly.

However, it did not stop the people in the upper circles to notice that something was going on. Even amongst the public, there were already speculations on the scandals of the new chairman. But it did not blow up due to the power of the Guan Empire.

However, today, another news was released. It came from one of the most trusted sources of the public.

The acclaimed rising tiger and the eye of owl in the media industry, SHM.

SHM media was known for their transparency and bold confidence in pursuing truth. Ever since they made their popular debut almost five years ago, they kept releasing news and articles that were helpful and eye-openers to the public.

The most recent news was about helping a poor individual who was trampled by greedy people from the higher levels of the pyramid. SHM helped them obtain justice by helping the victim speak out the truth and used the country's laws to condemn the sinners.

The public often kept watch of the news from SHM and branded them as a media channel that only spoke of the truth and sought justice for the masses. They have long gained the public's trust.

SHM had been rather quiet regarding this scandal. However, today, they finally spoke up and released an article. The number of people who were interested in this scandal grew ten times in just one day with SHM's influence.

It was now harder to conceal the matter from the public.

Moreover, the scandal was about Univ One which recently became a huge sensation just a few weeks ago.

Thus, the prolonged scandal reached new heights.

The article that was released by SHM indicated that Univ One's foundation was allegedly not created through legal means.

Unlike SC's ZD World which was backed by the power of the five kings' investments and network, Univ One's foundation investment was apparently gotten through illegal trading underground. This information came from an anonymous source but contained many details that alerted the relevant investigation team of the government.

It was said that Guan Gao Huan, the creator of Univ One, did not use funds from the Guan Empire nor his inheritance, because all of the Guans from the main branch received their inheritance from their parents at a specific age.

Based on Univ One's creation date which the company had released in the pioneering scandal with SC more than two months ago, Guan Gao Huan should not have received his inheritance at that time.

This fact was backed by the article marked with the Guan seal detailing the Guan Family's laws on this matter.

A lot of people began to question the Guan Family if the article was telling the truth. After all, it was released by SHM, the most trusted source of the public. There was surely some truth in it.

Immediately, in the middle of the rushing comments and exchange of speculations, a Guan member from a secondary branch gave their statement that the article regarding the Guan's family law was true.

The appearance of that confirmation made the news rise to another level.
