Political Scene
During the night, the rumors about Lin Xiao started spreading. The news began in the town where he lived, and spread outwards with the power of word-of-mouth.
Some claimed that they had heard the rumors in their bars and others at their upper scale banquets.
No one knew exactly where the rumors started, but they were not helping Lin Xiao at all.
In fact, they claimed that he made use of his political powers for personal gain, that he engaged in shady deals, and that he was corrupt.
Although these were merely word-of-mouth rumors, they were tarnishing his reputation, and by the time he was told about it, many had already spoken out about it.
Lin Xiao had gone to sleep early the previous day, he was simply too angered by Han Qingshan and Jiang Yingyue, but he was woken up in the middle of the night by a few phone calls.
"Big Brother Xiao, you are in a tough position right now. You have to strike fast before they find proof."
