Indeed, the reason the National Tax Agency knew about the illegal asset transfer of Mari Enterprise was partly thanks to Kiryu Hina, who played the role of the anonymous whistleblower behind the scenes.
It all started two months ago.
Kiryu Hina learned a bit of industry gossip from her father's idle chatter.
Her father's business was also in manufacturing, barely associated with Mari Enterprise, but because of their differing statuses, some rumors made their way upstream into his ears.
"I heard that the boss of Mari Enterprise is planning to take the money and run, and he's thinking of fleeing to America. No idea how much he'll have to pay off in protection fees over there, tsk tsk, I definitely wouldn't be willing," he said at the dinner table.
Father said this at the dinner table.
