Chapter 272
The next day.
The exposé on Mayor Choi Cheol-kyu that I had been briefed on the night before began spreading across every news outlet.
Shinmirae Daily was no exception. A report came in stating that they had received a tip from an anonymous source. I didn’t see any harm in it, so I gave the order to publish it.
“No matter how you look at it, this isn’t natural. Right?”
“Yes. It doesn’t seem like an organic exposé.”
If someone had really gotten fed up with Mayor Choi Cheol-kyu’s misdeeds and decided to expose him, there’s no way it would’ve all come out at the exact same time like this.
If anything, the stories would have surfaced one by one, with some delay between them.
This was clearly a coordinated exposé orchestrated by a powerful force.
One meant to completely bury Mayor Choi Cheol-kyu.
“How’s Choi Cheol-kyu responding?”
“No official statement yet. But reports from the mayor’s residence say he’s seething with rage.”
“Hmm.”
