Humans are a very strange species.
If you tell them a high-level secret directly, the most they will do is marvel at it, and after their surprise, they might quickly forget about it.
But... if you tell them a false secret and then reveal some clues that aren't quite right.
Then... their curiosity will be ignited. They will start to find ways to dig out the truth.
Moreover, the truth they uncover will be considered "precious" and therefore will be particularly easy to spread privately.
So, if you want everyone to know something, just clumsily ban or conceal it!
More and more people will dig into it, learn about it, and secretly spread it...
And so it was with the fight between Qiu Tu and Lin Ting.
Upon discovering that the rumors had issues, many middle-layer managers and section chiefs quietly inquired about the true nature of the matter.
As a result, they found that a gag order had been placed on yesterday's incident. Nobody involved was allowed to disclose any details.
