The Queen They Buried

Chapter 578

“We received an anonymous report saying you discovered a gold mine and intended to mine it illegally,” a Mistmere Police Department

officer said.

The village chief sat in the interrogation room, still in a daze as he wondered, ‘A gold mine? Mining? How did the cops find out?

‘And where’s the county chief? Why didn’t he cover this up?‘

The interrogator seemed to read his mind and added, “If you’re waiting for your protector, I can tell you this report was sent straight to the mayor. The city is taking this matter very seriously. Your position as village chief has already been suspended, and even the county chief is being interrogated next door.”

The contents of the recording were played back. The audio had been edited so that the identities of the chief and the county magistrate were clear, but Bryan’s identity was hidden entirely.

Carmen wasn’t stupid enough to let Bryan get dragged into this mess. Now that the chief was under control, Bryan would have to lie low for a while. However, if Bryan were caught up in the illegal gold mining scandal, the Wilson Group would be dragged down with him.

She had already seen the Wilson Group as her personal property. She didn’t care if Bryan ended up in jail, but what mattered was that nothing could happen to Wilson Group right now.

The village chief mentally replayed the list of everyone who was present there that night, racking his brain until it hurt, but he was completely stumped. He just couldn’t figure out who would do such a thing to him.
