Chapter 505: Chapter 239: Exposure of Misty Island_3 Chapter 505: Chapter 239: Exposure of Misty Island_3 In the investigation, they also discovered that Dream Technology had recruited a large number of workers who are now completely unreachable. Their families, after receiving a generous resettlement fee, had no idea where their loved ones had gone to work.

After uncovering something was amiss with Dream Technology, domestic authorities came knocking, inquiring about the ultimate destination of these materials and workers. Dream Technology recently become one of the fastest-growing large companies domestically, contributing a substantial amount of tax revenue and addressing employment issues for a significant portion of society. Holding a significant role, even when the most secretive of domestic agencies discovered the company's involvement, they didn't dare to act rashly but chose to make inquiries first.

Lu Pingping personally met with the inquiry personnel, but she didn't immediately answer their questions and instead opted for stalling tactics. Meanwhile, she promptly informed Yan Fei of the latest domestic developments.

The Misty Island has no telecom signal, so traditional communication methods are unworkable. However, the island can receive satellite signals, and Yan Fei had long since used the Auxiliary Brain to hack into these signals to access the Network World, constantly monitoring his secret mailbox. Hence, as soon as Lu Pingping sent an email to this secret account, Yan Fei immediately learned of the latest domestic situation. He then took a drone back to Shanghai overnight, conferred with Lu Pingping, and met with the investigators sent from the government the next day.

Yan Fei had always known that his activities on Misty Island would be discovered since the scale of the personnel and materials he deployed was immense, and any attentive government would notice the discrepancies and find him behind the scenes. His earlier concealment of the island's redevelopment was to delay its discovery.

However, after more than three months of construction, the development of Misty Island had started to take shape, giving Yan Fei the confidence he needed. Thus, even if the island's development became known at this time, he had no need for excessive worry. Moreover, Yan Fei and Lu Pingping had already discussed this issue and had a specific strategic response ready, so there wasn't any reason for fear.

When Yan Fei was questioned by the investigators from the government, he didn't hide anything and chose to be forthright. He admitted he had purchased large quantities of various materials, and these materials had now been transported from the Shanghai port to Misty Island for its development and construction. As for the workers the company had recruited from society, they were now on Misty Island, working on the construction.

The Inspector had previously heard rumors about Yan Fei's intentions to develop Misty Island but had thought it was a joke because of Yan Fei's deliberate misguidance. Only after hearing Yan Fei's explanation did he realize the truth of the matter. The Inspector, suppressing the shock in his heart, voiced his greatest doubt–Misty Island was a deserted island that was continuously sinking, so how could Yan Fei develop it.

Naturally, Yan Fei could not disclose the actual situation to the Inspector, but he claimed that he had found Misty Island had ceased to sink half a year ago and had since maintained its current elevation. Starting five months ago, the situation reversed, with the Misty Island Sea Area beginning to rise rapidly. In the end, the sea area around Misty Island had formed a closed circle on the sea surface, enclosed by a natural dike full of yellow sand.

Then, the sea water within that circle disappeared suddenly, revealing a vast expanse of reefs, and just like that, Yan Fei had acquired a large new piece of land. And what he was building now, was on this newly emerged land.

Before, when Misty Island mysteriously began to sink, no one knew why. So Yan Fei reused this reasoning, insisting that the island had stopped sinking and then began rising. Since no one could produce a reason anyway, let the scientists guess!

The Inspector, who originally came to investigate the disappearance of a large number of materials and personnel from Dream Technology, didn't expect to hear such a shocking revelation from Yan Fei. But the matter was beyond his capacity to handle, so he hastily excused himself to leave, heading back to Beijing to report what he had learned from Yan Fei.
