The next day, many people were still discussing the news about the establishment of Cloud Rider Mining Company when they received a fresh new piece of gossip.

The two state-owned enterprises that had just signed contracts with Cloud Rider Mining Company found out that the so-called aluminum mine at Hill County had all been a set-up!

The sales contract they had signed was also fraudulent!

Once the two state-owned enterprises found out, they immediately halted the upfront payments they were supposed to make to Cloud Rider Mining Company. That helped prevent any major losses for the two enterprises.

However, the two state-owned enterprises would take legal action against Cloud Rider Mining Company for the fraudulent contract.

Everyone’s initial reaction was to laugh when they first heard the news.

They had just signed the contract yesterday, but they were claiming it was all a hoax today? Everything sounded ridiculous. It must have been some guy with a death wish who was spreading the rumors about.

However, as more and more detailed news was released, everyone achieved an understanding.

Some even claimed to have seen with their own eyes the huge aluminum mine at Hill County. Except for that one layer on the surface, it was just soil and rocks all around without even a trace of aluminum ore.

In an instant, everyone felt a wave of shock ripple through them.
