Chapter 105 Confrontation
Bai Jing typed in a string of characters and waited for feedback. He then checked his phone and saw that there were many comments under Zhao Nan's Weibo post saying that something was wrong with Song Yifei. He immediately informed his boss.
This was a serious matter, so Ye Jingke immediately went to check the comments. The netizens had incredibly sharp eyes and easily spotted the anomaly:
[Turn the brightness to maximum. Is there blood on Princess Fifi's face covered by the veil?]
Holy crap! I hadn't even noticed until you said it, but it definitely seems to be true.
[All the guests are injured; isn't the director going to come out and explain?]
[Bad memory? Blindness? Little Ai Ai got a bamboo skewer stuck in her left shoulder, and she's still perfectly fine, isn't she?]
Why is Hao Jian hugging Song Yifei? Did he break up with Cheng Baoni?
[Pah! What a scumbag! Look at how angry Cheng looks, she deserves it!]
[Is Cheng Biao any good? Just get an abortion and threaten him!]
Haha, after looking at a bald head for a while, it actually becomes quite pleasing to the eye.
[Ahhh, look at the trending topics! A castle inexplicably caught fire, Wu Xu's car was destroyed and he died. Is something in the dark manipulating everything?]
Don't talk nonsense in the middle of the night, I'm scared!
[Sobbing, Goddess Ai, please give me a talisman for protection!]
Ye Jingke exited the page and focused all his attention on the computer. "Let Hanmo handle the matters of the castle and Wu Xu. We need to get irrefutable evidence of the Zou family's illegal activities before dawn!"
Bai Jing agreed, and after finishing, she asked, "What about Song Yifei? Are we just going to let netizens speculate wildly?"
Ye Jingke's subordinates continued working without looking up, saying, "Focus on coding. There are people who are more anxious about this than we are."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Hao Jian posted a photo of them holding hands, along with the caption: "[I have peacefully broken up with Ms. Cheng Baoni. Please do not disturb me. @Song Yifei, my darling Feifei, please guide me for the rest of my life!]"
Shortly after, two more Weibo posts were published:
[@ChengBaoniV: Mr. Hao Jian and I have peacefully separated. After negotiation, I will have an abortion, and he will pay all expenses. Furthermore, I will be withdrawing from the entertainment industry indefinitely. I sincerely apologize for everyone's strong pleas to stay. Goodbye.]
[@SongYifeiV: Love is innocent, Mr. Hao. For the rest of my life, it's all about you. Also, I covered my head with a scarf because of a food allergy, and Xiaojian hugged me because I was too weak to move. Please, netizens, don't stir up trouble and cause unnecessary conflict. Thank you!]
The three Weibo posts quickly brought public opinion back on track. Although some people still expressed disbelief, the few comments disappeared without a trace, failing to make any waves.
Hao Jian did not return to Huichuan City. Instead, he stayed in a hotel, editing photos and posting on Weibo.
Seeing the wind shift, he glanced at Song Yifei, who was sleeping soundly on the ground, and climbed into bed contentedly.
Fortunately, Cheng Baoni had logged into Weibo using his phone before; otherwise, there would have been no way to silence the outside world.
There are pros and cons, and netizens quickly found new points to criticize, unleashing a torrent of complaints:
It's common knowledge that the entertainment industry is chaotic, but most celebrities only engage in promiscuous behavior in private. I've never seen anyone as blatant as Hao Jian before.
Haha, he probably doesn't think face or dignity are important anymore, since he's already lost them all.
【Princess Feifei, I'm sorry, I'm going to turn from fan to hater. Of all the men you could choose, why did you have to hang out with a universally acknowledged scumbag?】
[Add one! I feel nauseous whenever I see Hao Jian, and my grandma couldn't help but vomit. I hope the "Dare to Be Here" production team can cut all his scenes so as not to offend the fans' eyes.]
[I feel sorry for your grandma for a second, scumbag, go to hell!]
Hey Hao Jian! Cheng Baoni wisely retired from the entertainment industry, why don't you follow suit?
He's incredibly shameless; he's probably just creating hype to gain attention.
[To spoil the mood, with Wu Laotou, Hao Jian, Cheng Baoni, and Song Yifei all involved in scandals and inappropriate relationships, won't this affect the variety show?]
[Relax, relax! The director said we'd meet at 10 pm, so everything will be fine.]
Bai Jing couldn't help but laugh out loud, giving Ye Jingke a thumbs up and praising him repeatedly, "Brilliant, truly brilliant! So you had already anticipated that Hao Jian would make the first move, which is why you held back."
He wanted to say a few more compliments, but under the other person's cold gaze, he awkwardly shut up and focused on his work.
The Zou family conglomerate was not short of ordinary people; the staff on duty immediately notified their superiors upon hearing the alarm sounding that the system was under attack.
Within half an hour, Chairman Zou's wife, Wang Qian, legal representative Zou Yangliang, his wife Huang Yan, shareholders Cheng Yunfan and Zou Xuan, and more than a dozen computer experts all arrived at the Zou Group's conference room.
It was during this half hour that Ye Jingke and Bai Jing discovered the firewall's weakness and launched a frenzied attack.
Zou Xuan was restless and sweating profusely. As the chairman's granddaughter, she knew the secrets and progress of various projects within the company. If these secrets were made public, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Suddenly, an idea began to form in my mind: the variety show had just ended and someone was attacking the company's intranet. Could all of this be related to Cheng Ai?
No! She knows absolutely nothing about computers, that's highly unlikely!
Or perhaps she hired a hacker? But who would dare take on a job that leads to crime and jail time?
Damn it, how dare they be so audacious! Could it be Ye Jingke? After all, he and Cheng Ai have a very close relationship.
Zou Xuan's hands and feet were ice-cold. She kept urging the computer expert to maintain the system and collect the traces left when the intrusion occurred, so that they could be provided to the police.
Wang Qian's eyes revealed admiration. As expected of the best among the younger generation of the Zou family, he was organized and meticulous in his work.
Zou Yangliang is getting old, and it's time for him to hand over the company.
At this point, the two sides officially began their battle, chasing and luring each other, vying for supremacy, and neither side showed any mercy.
Ye Jingke and Bai Jing's expressions became increasingly focused. The opponent's intentions were too obvious and their approach was too aggressive, so the two had to split up, one to take the lead in the attack and the other to defend and cover up the aftermath.
Lu Hanmo called to ask if he needed help, and Ye Jingke promptly assigned him a task.
With his addition, it was like adding wings to a tiger, and the situation instantly took an overwhelming turn.
As the first rays of sunlight pierced through the clouds and fell upon the earth, Ye Jingke unplugged the USB drive, stretched, got out of the car, and a victorious smile appeared on his lips.
He turned to look at the sleeping Bai Jing, then took out his phone to check the latest news.
According to the investigation, the police initially determined that Wu Xu died in an accident. When the firefighters arrived at the castle, the fire had just been extinguished, leaving behind a mess.
Just as Cheng Ai had said, the fire talisman only burned what it was meant to burn, leaving the surrounding trees completely unharmed.
The firefighters were both relieved and puzzled. They checked the place thoroughly but found nothing suspicious.
After failing to contact Gong Qian, they called Zhao Nan, asked a few perfunctory questions, and then hastily returned to their team, closing the case.
Ye Jingke was extremely satisfied. He put his phone in his pocket and turned to go back to the hotel.
He walked to Cheng Ai's door, raised his hand and then lowered it, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to knock.
