A Life Beyond Limits (Jack Holland) novel Chapter 710

Just as Cline Corporation was celebrating its success in managing the crisis and sealing the leaks, the rumors had already spread, only growing louder.

The platform with the most heated discussion about this was Haven Net's social media platform.

Initially, only anonymous and insignificant accounts were reporting this issue. However, large accounts with thousands of followers started speculating about this massive billion-dollar scam.

With a few people fanning the flames, the incident quickly snowballed out of control.

Haven Net even launched a questionnaire, asking if Cline Corporation's high-speed rail project was truly for the good of the country and its people or just an enormous Ponzi scheme built on siphoning off government subsidies and public investments.

Haven Net's network had a massive global presence with nearly 600 million users, including many influential figures. The public discussions only grew louder and harder to contain.

The cat was out of the bag.

The local media had begun to notice this and widely reported it. They couldn't hold off the truth any longer.

The way things unfolded had completely caught Cline Corporation off guard. They were forced to launch a crisis PR campaign on one front, while on the other, they urgently investigated how the leak had happened in the first place and how it had triggered such an overwhelming wave of public scrutiny.

First, they cast their suspicions on the reporter who sneaked into the factory site. However, after capturing the reporter and beating him up, the reporter refused to admit he had done it.

After all, Cline Corporation's high-speed rail project was a ruse to scam governmental funds and public investments.

The last footage showed Leslie and Benjamin discussing the details of moving the funds overseas.

The evidence was undeniable. It was nothing more than a massive scam to swindle government subsidies and illegally raise funds from the public.

With the truth exposed, Benjamin gave a few orders. First, they had to initiate the emergency response plan immediately. No matter what it took, they had to contain the negative impact. The top priority was to keep the elderly investors calm. The last thing they could afford was a full-blown run on their funds.

Second, after stabilizing the elderly investors, they had to explain themselves to the relevant parties to stall time, and simultaneously, prepare an escape plan and flee the country if there were any signs of trouble.

Third, they had to find who was responsible for this.
