Seeing Ye Mo’s continued silence, Gu Chong quickly added, "Four years ago, at the Yuan Bei Lou food poisoning incident, 43 workers died. This was also suppressed by Mayor Niu, who at the time was only a Vice-Mayor."
Even that could be suppressed? With modern-day technology, you'd have to be very capable for that. This was different from Ye Mo’s slaughter in the hidden sects. No matter how many people died in the hidden sects, no government would care.
However, Ye Mo wouldn’t have expected something to the extent of a food poisoning incident to have been covered up.
Gu Chong said, "These were homeless people the Yuan family had found from all over the place. So when the incident happened, it didn’t matter much. Many people never even heard about it."
‘No wonder!’ Ye Mo thought.
Wait, if the Yuan family really wanted to build Yuan Bei Lou, they would need more than 40 workers. As for these workers, why would they need to be homeless people?
