The next morning, Peter Brown entered his office, brewed a cup of his own Spiritual Tea, and sat down with the newspaper in the office.
Sitting there, a smile crossed Peter’s lips. The events of last night were enough for the township to gossip over, and he wondered how things would develop.
Sure enough, before he had taken a few sips of his tea, Alexander Lee had called for a meeting.
When Peter entered the small conference room, he saw Alexander Lee and Eleanor Smith both appeared to have slept poorly.
With a gloomy face, Alexander Lee said solemnly, "Eleanor and I just returned from the county. We didn’t sleep at all last night."
As soon as these words were spoken, Peter saw several people with knowing expressions, thinking that these people still had access to information channels.
Eleanor snorted, "Although it’s a ghost incident, it involves our township and has embarrassed both James Lee and me in the county!"
Peter pretended to ask, "What happened?"
When Peter asked, everyone looked at him with complicated emotions.
Alexander Lee snorted, "It’s really outrageous! The news about what happened to Matthew Carter last night has been posted online, with all sorts of stories about his mischief. Now it’s hard for our township to not become famous!"
"But Matthew Carter isn’t like that, is he?" asked Peter.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at him with even more complex expressions. This Matthew Carter had a history with Peter, who had taken away his credit. Did Peter really have no opinion on this matter? Look at him, he even spoke up for Matthew Carter when he was in trouble.
Alexander Lee also glanced at Peter, feeling some suspicion in his heart. However, considering that Peter had been in the township all along, and during the incident was in his room reading a book, Alexander Lee shook his head, feeling that this matter was strange.
Eleanor also looked at Peter, filled with doubts. Had this matter nothing to do with Peter?
Peter didn’t bother about people’s thoughts, asking, "What’s going on? We still don’t know the details?"
Fabio Wright sighed, "It’s considered a supernatural event. It’s so damn strange. The whole building experienced a haunting, and many people died inside. Are there really ghosts?"
Peter said seriously, "I’ve never believed in ghosts and gods. We are atheists; we shouldn’t blindly follow or spread rumors. If that’s the case, we should wait until the relevant department investigates before drawing conclusions. Right now, I want to know what exactly happened to Comrade Matthew Carter."
Fabio Wright said, "What else could it be? He was with two women in that building, and when the haunting began, he ran out. Apparently, it was because of some drug he took. After he came out, he clung onto a fat man and caused a scene."
Eleanor waved her hand, "Don’t talk about it anymore, it’s disgusting!"
Peter pretended to be surprised, "This really happened?"
After saying that, Peter remained silent, as if he didn’t want to talk about the matter anymore.
At that moment, Alexander Lee looked around at everyone and said, "The incident with Matthew Carter has had a very negative impact. Now the Internet is full of his videos, and our township has become famous because of him. The county leaders scolded us severely. Everyone should be aware of this and not let any more harmful information about our township leak out."
Peter shook his head, "I didn’t expect it! How could our leaders do such a thing? I don’t know what the outcome will be after this incident. I think it will affect our team."
Alexander Lee’s face grew even more displeased.
