My Wife Slaps People in the Face Online Daily - Chapter 775

Chapter 775: Media Outlets Getting Hacked!

At the airport.

The herbs had all been doused with gasoline, so they burned until nothing was left. Even the Leng family’s private plane was not spared.

Leng Yun had not been able to reach Leng Xuan despite calling her phone repeatedly. Her mind was a mess and she did not know how she should account for this matter. Red Scorpion would definitely not give them a refund.

Right then, a video with Leng Xuan’s name in the title suddenly appeared on her phone screen. Leng Yun thought that she was seeing things wrong, for the video showed Leng Xuan hanging off the rooftop from a wooden pole. She looked as if she were about to plummet at any moment.

“Follow me back to the hotel,” she told her subordinates grimly before turning around and briskly walking to the carpark. She received a call from the Leng family.

“What’s going on? The video of Leng Xuan is everywhere on Jijing Island too! Just what the hell were you guys doing?!” The moment the call connected, a furious voice boomed through the speaker.

Given Leng Xuan’s status on Jijing Island, those who worked under her were naturally the top experts from Jijing Island. Now, with the release of this video, not only Leng Xuan, but the Elders’ Association and the Leng family, would be all disgraced.

She has so many experts following her, yet she was still kidnapped right under their noses. On top of that, the video has spread worldwide, along with her information. Just who the heck did it?! Old Master Leng could not help but curse at that.

Leng Yun hurriedly said, “I’m rushing back to the hotel now. I’ll get someone to delete the video.”

“Delete? You think I’m calling you just to get you to delete the video?” Old Master Leng’s voice sounded frigid and serious.

Hearing that, Leng Yun tensed up. She had a bad feeling.

“The media outlets here have been infected with a virus, so the video can’t be deleted.” As Old Master Leng spoke, he tightened his grip on the phone.

“…H-how’s that possible?” Leng Yun stuttered, her eyes wide in disbelief. How could Jijing Island’s media outlets be hacked? What hacker is bold and skilled enough to pull that off?

“The Elders’ Association’s technical team is already working on it. You just need to get Leng Xuan back to Jijing Island right away.”

With her thoughts all jumbled up, Leng Yun could only respond, “Yes.”

…

The Head Elder was the one who had called Lu Zhan.

The Leng Xuan Incident had been blown up quite a bit, so it was obvious that she had been targeted. Gu Mang and Gu Si were the only ones who feuded with her. Thus, the Elders’ Association knew exactly who was behind this incident.

Leng Xuan knew that the Elders’ Association had been trying to bring the Gu family’s young children back to Jijing Island, but she was not highly ranked enough to know the specific details about the two. She had only met the two-year-old Gu Si years ago.

The virus that had invaded Jijing Island’s media outlets was a new type of virus that took control of the top three media outlets. By now, the video of Leng Xuan had been shared over ten thousand times. Practically everyone on Jijing Island knew that Leng Xuan was in trouble.

The Elders’ Association’s IT department was expediting the repairs on their system, but the video circulating from the capital had to be deleted by Red Scorpion’s technical team.

Leng Xuan represented Jijing Island, but now that she had embarrassed herself so thoroughly in the capital, she became a meme on the internet. Everyone was guessing who Leng Xuan had offended and saying that the people from Jijing Island were low class. The comments only got worse as time passed.

Not wanting to waste time, the Head Elder got straight to the point. “Commander Lu, I’ll have to trouble Red Scorpion’s technical team to delete the video of Leng Xuan. I heard that Red Scorpion is looking for a 5nm stepper. We’ll sell it to you.”

According to Red Scorpion’s reports, given the Institute of Optoelectronics’s current technology, it would take them at least a decade before they could manufacture a 5nm stepper. While Country K produced up to twenty units a year, nobody knew how many units Jijing Island could produce in a year. The Elders’ Association taking the initiative to make such an offer was completely unexpected.

All of a sudden, Lu Zhan felt that his son had done a good job when he ordered Lu Wu to ignore Leng Xuan’s affairs. In a polite tone, he said, “It’s easy to settle the matter regarding the media outlets. The stepper, on the other hand… Red Scorpion is currently running tight on funds. I’m afraid we can’t afford to buy a stepper that costs more than a billion dollars each.”

The Head Elder fell silent for several seconds as he cursed Lu Zhan inwardly. After a while, he finally said frigidly, “I’ll give you a 30% discount. Please help us to settle this matter properly.”

“Thank you for your generosity, Head Elder.”

As soon as Lu Zhan said that, the call ended.

Chapter 776: New Knowledge Learned When Gu Si Strikes Again

In a good mood, Lu Zhan put his phone away and said, “Get the technical team to delete that video.”

“Yes,” answered Lu Wu respectfully before turning around to inform Lu Chengzhou about the matter over the phone. “Are we just going to delete the video like that, Young Master Lu?”

The video had to be deleted, of course, but the method of doing so depended on his young master’s mood.

On the other end, Lu Chengzhou was currently in the lab waiting for Gu Mang. He propped his face up with a hand as he lazily drawled, “Get Qin Fang to ask Gu Si for his opinion. You guys are to cooperate with him.”

Lu Wu swallowed his saliva. “…Yes.”

To be honest, he was actually starting to fear that kid. He barely came up to his waist but the young one was full of ideas on how to deal with people. While it was easy to dodge an open attack, it was difficult to defend against a concealed one. Gu Si being especially sly made this tactic even more effective.

Just hearing the kid’s name was enough to make him tense up. It was just like how Red Scorpion’s elites would talk about Silence before getting sent to Red Flame for training every year. Silence’s name sent chills down everyone’s spine. It used to be just Silence, but now there’s Gu Si too…

…

Leng Yun rushed back to the hotel with her subordinates. As she walked out of the elevator upon reaching the presidential suite’s floor, she happened to run into Lu Zhan and Lu Wu who were exiting the suite. Her face darkened. Without saying anything, she quickly strode over to the staircase that led to the rooftop with Lu Zhan and the others in tow.

There was no one on the rooftop. All that could be heard was the howling wind. It was empty, dark, and quiet. Leng Yun looked around. She fixed her gaze on the edge of the rooftop and quickly walked over. While looking over the ledge, she found a trembling Leng Xuan dangling from a curved wooden pole.

“Elder Leng!” Leng Yun crouched down on the edge and took a look at Leng Xuan before turning her head to call for help. “What are you guys still standing there for? Come and rescue her!”

When Leng Xuan was finally rescued, she collapsed onto the ground like mush, which showed how badly frightened she was. No one had ever seen her in such a state before. Nobody dared to lift their heads.

“Is the video still on the internet?” Leng Xuan pressed her lips together as she tried to keep her composure. That masked man said that he was going to upload that video to the internet and send it over to Jijing Island. Did he really think that Jijing Island’s media would publish anything related to me? As for the capital, Red Scorpion is responsible for my safety. They will deal with whoever did this. Once I find out who the culprit is, that person’s dead!

Leng Yun lowered her head, her voice getting softer and softer as she spoke. “The video is spreading quickly across Jijing Island through the major media outlets. By now, almost everyone has seen it. It’s the same in the capital and other countries…”

Leng Xuan was thinking about checking the hotel’s surveillance footage later and getting Red Scorpion to issue an arrest warrant when she suddenly heard what Leng Yun said. Her expression turned frigid right away as she glared at her with red eyes.

“Don’t worry, the Elders’ Association has repaired the program and is trying to delete the video now. Red Scorpion is also working on it,” said Leng Yun softly as she helped Leng Xuan up.

…

Leng Xuan was trending.

Like a little bandit, Gu Si squatted on his computer chair as his fingers flew across the keyboard. In no time, he hacked the online news portal and changed the topic’s name.

[The exclusive video of Jijing Island’s leading medical expert, Leng Xuan, will be deleted from the internet in five minutes! Quickly save it if you haven’t done so! The people deserve to know about this stuff so what are you waiting for! Download it and share it with your friends and family!]

Standing behind Gu Si, Qin Fang’s eyelids twitched when he saw the text on the screen. He had never seen anyone delete video evidence of a scandal in such a high profile way. Such blatant tactics, however, would achieve Gu Si’s goal: getting everyone to download the video, rendering any censorship useless.

The technical team learned something useful from Gu Si that day.
