Now that Qiu Shi has collapsed, he will inevitably expose all his inside information on the internet. First, he will expose the dark secrets of his company, and then he will use his hacking skills to gain administrative control on major top forums and websites, pinning the posts to the top and displaying them prominently.
Then, he organized Qiu Shi's diary documents, named it "A Wealthy Businessman's Scandalous Diary," and hung it high again. At the same time, he also exposed the inside story of the two wife-swapping clubs and the masquerade ball. Of course, Li Yang did not publish the information of most members, as that would offend too many people. Instead, he published the names of some people who were on Qiu Shi's side but were his mortal enemies and could not be won over.
Three posts were prominently displayed on various websites' forums. Although it was midnight, in today's society, are there any netizens who sleep before midnight? So, although the traffic wasn't as crowded as at 8 PM, there were still a large number of tech enthusiasts who wanted to find insider information at midnight and refused to go to sleep. They didn't even cuddle with their wives. Of course, there were also many lonely men and women who were afraid of big beds and clung to their computers like lovers, unwilling to fall asleep.
Chapter 726: Fiery
These posts quickly garnered over ten thousand clicks, rapidly gaining momentum and spreading like wildfire across the entire internet. Imagine, posts pinned to the top of major portals and top forums, with such explosive content—who wouldn't click and take a look? Li Yang had only dozed off in his chair for a short while, about ten minutes later, when he logged back into the Daji Forum website to check, he found that major portals had gone crazy.
Li Yang could easily guess that his company was in a state of near madness. He had seized their access to pin the posts, which wasn't their individual action; they'd been used as pawns. Li Yang silently mourned for the managers whose access he'd taken. They would undoubtedly be used as examples and punished by the company. Although they weren't primarily responsible, who would believe they were innocent? Everyone saw the facts: they had pinned all those posts. Although the companies usually disliked each other, this sudden incident caused a stir. The top executives of the major websites immediately communicated by phone and finally confirmed that they hadn't been controlled or manipulated by some powerful force, but rather attacked by a skilled hacker. However, they refused to believe this. They preferred to believe that their employees had been bribed and then orchestrated by this powerful force to create such a commotion overnight.
They ultimately concluded that these two possibilities represented an infiltration and exertion of force by a powerful entity, specifically targeting the behemoth that is Hongtu Group, rather than the hacking activities of a single individual. If they were to believe it was the work of an individual hacker, would they be admitting that all these supposedly powerful domestic companies are idiots, utterly incompetent, and completely crippled by one person? Where would their reputation be then? Would they want people to know that their company's technical experts are all idiots who grew up eating shit, utterly helpless against a single person?
Another possibility they preferred to believe was that a powerful hacker group lurking in the shadows, certainly numbering more than ten, had appeared on major portals and forums almost simultaneously, within half an hour of each other, and these posts were pinned to the top. It would be impossible to handle this without the strength of such a large group.
In short, no matter what, whether it was a powerful and ruthless mastermind who maliciously bribed their employees, or a hacker group that collectively seized their access, they simply refused to believe that this was an individual act.
This matter quickly escalated into a major scandal within hours, becoming known as the "Peach Blossom Gate," "Diary Gate," "Three-Post Gate," and so on. In short, its popularity was no less than that of the original Edison Chen photo scandal.
Li Yang watched with satisfaction as he orchestrated the commotion and disturbance, chuckling slyly and obscenely from behind the screen.
There was a knock on the study door. Li Yang checked the time; almost an hour had passed. He nodded to himself, thinking that Shu Yi was quite capable. He wondered if Qiu Shi's wife's small plot of land had been turned from dry land into paddy field.
"Come in. Is Qiu Shi dead?" Li Yang asked without turning his head.
"No, I just gave him some emergency treatment and stopped the bleeding. He's not in immediate danger, but it would be dangerous if it dragged on any longer!" Shu Yi said.
Li Yang's lips curled into a smile. This was also one of the ways he had tested Shu Yi, and he was indeed good. Without Li Yang's orders, Shu Yi knew how to handle Qiu Shi and prevent him from being driven to a dead end and causing Li Yang huge trouble. This also proved that the elite soldiers of the Wolf Fang Special Forces were not only highly skilled in martial arts and individual combat with machine guns, but also adept at production and medical self-rescue.
"Hmm, not bad. Do you have the photos?" Li Yang asked, reaching out his hand.
"Here you go!" Shu Yi handed the phone back to Li Yang.
Li Yang took the phone, pulled up the photo, chuckled, and said, "My phone's camera is pretty good, isn't it? The picture is crystal clear! Great, this woman will be one of us from now on. How about you contact her?"
"Me?" Shu Yi asked, somewhat surprised.
“Yes, it’s you. From now on, if there’s anything in the sect that needs to be contacted with her, you can be the one to contact her, okay?” Li Yang said.
“If you trust me, I’ll do it!” Shu Yi said, taking a deep breath.
"Of course I trust you. I'm the kind of person who trusts those I employ and doesn't employ those I don't trust!" Li Yang said earnestly.
"Okay, then I'll take on this task." Shu Yi nodded in agreement.
“Okay,” Li Yang nodded, stood up, shut down the computer, and then removed his fingerprints from it before leading Shu Yi out of the study.
He arrived at the bedroom door again and looked at Qiu Shi's wife, Guo Lifu. The mature woman lay sprawled on the bed, her body flushed, and she did not move.
"Don't lie there pretending to be dead. Let me tell you, from now on, as long as you listen to me, your life will not only be less difficult, but it will also be happier and more fulfilling. From now on, Shuyi will contact you if anything happens to me," Li Yang said in a deep voice.
"Yes~" Guo Life immediately jumped out of bed, ignoring her exposed skin, and said nervously.
"Alright. After we leave, call 120. We can't let this bastard die." Li Yang said, turning and leaving. Guo Lifu watched the two disappear at the top of the stairs before collapsing weakly onto the bed, muttering to herself, "From now on, I'll have to obey orders!"
As Li Yang walked up the stairs, a good idea suddenly came to him. Since he was going to start a club for socialites and wealthy women, Guo Lifu would be a good choice. Qiu Shi's fame in Jiangdong City predates Li Yang's by a long time. With the rise of Cai Lan, Qiu Shi and his son have been prominent figures in Jiangdong City for decades. As Qiu Shi's wife, she would naturally be the top socialite and a role model among the socialites.
If the club were handed over to her to manage, Li Yang believed she would definitely make a name for herself. With a woman as ruthless, opportunistic, and quick-witted as Guo Lifu managing it, the club would surely become a famous entertainment venue in Jiangdong City in time.
The next day.
The real storm was just brewing and reaching its climax. When people woke up, the three posts that had been causing a stir all night had become overnight sensations across the country. Everyone was talking about Hongtu and Qiushi. Then, the most talked-about topics among young people were naturally his erotic diary, as well as the so-called wife-swapping club and masquerade club. These things became the hottest topics for a time.
Chapter 727: Enough with the nonsense
Whether online or in major newspapers and magazines, they all reprinted it wildly, especially the major newspapers and magazines in Jiangdong City, and those shady magazines were the most enthusiastic in making a fuss.
What should have been banned by the Jiangdong City propaganda department was surprisingly not banned. The official stance was one of indifference and nonchalance. Many astute individuals immediately saw the problem and began to jump out, waving flags and making pronouncements, saying that the once-grey empire was about to collapse. The empire's leader, Qiu Shi, naturally became the focus of everyone's attention. However, when the crowd surrounded the Qiu family villa, they found nothing. Someone leaked information, saying that on the very night of the incident, Qiu Shi, the leader, had been crippled, in a very miserable state. His limbs were crippled, his tongue was cut out, and he could neither write nor speak, making it impossible for him to sue who had done this to him. His ex-wife, Guo Lifu, the daughter of a large corporation, chose to remain silent, neither filing a lawsuit nor pursuing the matter.
Despite the attacks from all the media figures, she remained calm and ignored them. The police rushed to the hospital immediately, partly to collect evidence and partly to protect Qiu Shi's family member, Guo Lifu.
The next day, after Li Yang woke up in Sun Weirui's large bed, Sun Weirui's fair and alluring body curled up in his arms like a cat, hugging him tightly like an octopus. Her healthy and sexy body was pressed closely against him, one leg raised and pressed against Li Yang's waist, the other leg inserted between Li Yang's legs, her legs tightly wrapped around one of Li Yang's legs, intimate contact, seductive and alluring.
He smiled slightly, stroking her round, pert buttocks, feeling their smoothness and tenderness. He picked up the phone from the bedside table, glanced at it which was switched off, and chuckled. He was almost certain that as soon as he turned it on, his phone would be bombarded with calls.
However, as the leader, he couldn't disappear for too long, as that could easily cause unnecessary trouble. Moreover, he guessed that Ye Qiu, Zhao Yunlong, and others would definitely contact him. He hadn't explained the matter of the three posts to them yet, and they would definitely seek the truth from him.
Although they don't know for sure that they did it, they will support anything that is detrimental to the enemy, and that's the right thing to do.
So, when Li Yang turned on his phone, sure enough, someone called almost immediately. Li Yang glanced at the number; it was Ye Qing's secretary calling. Li Yang was secretly sweating; this guy was really dedicated and persistent. The caller ID showed that this guy had already made 38 calls, all of which were missed.
"Hey buddy, you've got real perseverance. Luckily I turned it on, otherwise your hand would have cramped up!" Li Yang joked.
"You finally turned it on, otherwise I would have been killed by Mayor Ye's glare!" the secretary said with a sigh of relief.
"Mayor Ye's gaze is so intimidating, hehe... What's wrong?" Li Yang asked knowingly.
"Dude, you're not serious? You even kept it from me?" the secretary said, displeased.
"What have I been hiding from you?" Li Yang continued to play dumb. "I just habitually turn off my phone when I sleep. I was just wondering why you were calling my phone so frantically. My phone didn't do anything to you, did it?"
"Keep pretending, keep pretending. I'll have Mayor Ye talk to you then~" The secretary snorted, seemingly about to get up and move on. "Don't do that, what did I do? Why are you treating me like this?" Li Yang said aggrievedly.
"You're still upset? Why didn't you tell me you did something like this? Why did I have to come to you to find out what happened?" Ye Qing's voice came in, sounding dissatisfied.
"Mayor Ye, I, hehe... I just did it on a whim. It was already late when I did it, and I didn't want to disturb your peaceful sleep, so I planned to report to you in the morning. I just didn't expect you to be so enthusiastic and excited so early in the morning. I'm flattered!" Li Yang said nonchalantly.
"So you're saying you did all that?" Ye Qing stopped pressing the matter and said in a deep voice.
