Chapter 905: Chapter 361: Isn’t That Mr. Tang’s Voice?
Qin Mu cried with a mournful face.
He looked so wronged.
Seeing him like this, Shen Dao couldn’t help but roll his eyes, "You’re telling me you can’t handle this?"
For others.
Encountering such a situation, they might really have no solution, not knowing how to resolve it.
But Qin Mu...
Already had a "way out" planned for the other party.
"Is everything you reported true?"
Then.
He stared at Qin Mu, seriously questioning the details of the incident.
"It’s all true, this is the forum under attack, look, it’s still unable to function normally now."
Qin Mu quickly took out his phone and handed it to Shen Dao.
Shen Dao took the phone.
And looked at it carefully.
The forum is called "Study Law Alliance," and it’s now showing as crashed.
Indeed, it’s not functioning properly.
"Alright, I’ll contact the network information department to check the specific situation."
Immediately.
Shen Dao thought for a moment and then completed the statement with Qin Mu.
According to the procedure.
A case was filed.
Then he began contacting the relevant departments to investigate the source of the forum’s anomaly.
As for Qin Mu...
He went home to await further notifications.
...
That afternoon.
At the police station.
Shen Dao received a reply from the technical department, informing him that the forum was under attack by foreign hackers.
It indeed falls under illegal criminal activity.
Qin Mu did not file a false report.
But...
The location of the culprit is not in Jin City.
If they want to handle it, it involves cross-regional law enforcement, requiring prior notice to the Liang City police station.
A joint operation between the two places would be needed.
"Looks like... we’re going to be busy again."
He shrugged, somewhat helplessly.
Ever since getting to know Qin Mu.
His workload, as well as that of the entire police station, has significantly increased.
Overtime has become the norm.
Not working overtime seems unusual.
"Xiao Li, Xiao Wang, you two come with me."
Next.
He selected a few young police officers to accompany him on a trip to Liang City.
Not many people needed to go this time.
The main investigative work...
Still requires the assistance of Liang City police officers.
Additionally.
He was only there to verify Qin Mu’s report.
To gain a detailed understanding of the criminal activities behind this event.
Not to arrest anyone directly.
As for the foreign hacker crime...
It still requires contacting the department specializing in international crime to make arrests and negotiations.
...
Liang City.
A hospital.
Advanced ward.
"Finally... it’s over."
Lying on the bed, Tang Suiming breathed a sigh of relief, mumbling to himself.
His face showed a smile of someone who survived a disaster.
It’s been five consecutive hours.
Finally, his body...
No more unfortunate incidents were happening.
Drinking water normally.
Walking normally.
The hospital was normal.
The nurses were normal.
In short.
He finally didn’t have to worry about dying suddenly.
"By the way, what’s the situation with the forum over there?"
He took a sip of water and looked at the assistant beside him.
The assistant quickly reported, "The hacker team has been continually attacking, the forum is still paralyzed, but the other side hasn’t shown any sign of compromise."
It seemed the other party was determined as a stone.
They were intent on opposing them, not accepting cooperation.
"Then just continue."
Tang Suiming nodded.
He could still afford this amount of time.
The other party’s forum had extremely high daily activity.
If they couldn’t solve the login issue, they would inevitably lose a large number of users, it’s the other party who should be worried.
"But... how did the other party know my IP location?"
Leaning back on the hospital bed, he suddenly started pondering.
Yesterday.
The other party warned him over the phone and even revealed his real address.
"Could it be... Liao Xiangming sold me out?"
He squinted his eyes, showing a suspicious look.
The calls he made...
Were encrypted layer upon layer.
The other party was just a grassroots individual, without much power, couldn’t have tracked his address so quickly.
In this whole matter.
The only ones who knew his address were himself, his assistant, and people like Liao Xiangming.
His assistant couldn’t possibly betray him.
The only possibility...
Was that people like Liao Xiangming had been caught.
Thinking of this.
He took out his phone and hurriedly called Liao Xiangming, "Hello?"
A few seconds later.
He heard the familiar voice from the other end, "Hello? Don’t call me again, I can’t take this job anymore."
As soon as the call connected.
The other party immediately indicated that they would no longer accept his job.
It seemed they were somewhat opposed to him.
"You... haven’t been caught?"
Tang Suiming swallowed hard, couldn’t help but ask.
On the other end of the phone.
Liao Xiangming sneered coldly upon hearing the words: "What? Do you really hope I get caught?"
Tang Suiming’s mouth twitched.
Just as he was about to speak,
he heard the other person speak with resentment: "Do you know how badly you’ve screwed me over? If it weren’t for attacking that damn forum, I wouldn’t be left with an amputation!"
"Amputation?"
Tang Suiming froze for a moment, couldn’t help but gasp.
He only knew that the other party’s luck seemed a bit bad recently.
But the subsequent events...
He was unaware.
Didn’t expect...
Liao Xiangming actually went for amputation afterward.
"Anyway, you jinx, don’t call me anymore. This forum... I’ll never touch it again!"
Seeing Tang Suiming remain silent, Liao Xiangming gritted his teeth and emphasized again.
"Look... business isn’t personal. This deal didn’t work out, but we’ll have other chances to cooperate in the future."
Tang Suiming coughed twice, hurriedly said, "I do sympathize with your situation, but it was an accident this time. I’ll definitely reach out to you next time there’s business..."
As a businessman,
he adhered to the principle of long-term cooperation, still trying to win over Liao Xiangming.
He was well aware of the abilities of Liao Xiangming and his hacking team.
Could be of use in the future.
However...
He had just finished speaking when Liao Xiangming, as if provoked, angrily yelled at him: "Tang, do you want to kill me?"
"Do you know that because of your forum business, out of our team’s eight people, some are dead, some are injured?"
"You caused all this!"
Liao Xiangming’s words
were full of hatred and anger.
Leaving Tang Suiming bewildered.
How suddenly...
many were dead or injured?
It’s just attacking a forum, how could it be like fighting a war?
"Don’t you understand yet? This forum has issues!"
Seeing him dumbfounded, Liao Xiangming said irritably, "If it weren’t for that forum, would I be so unlucky?"
"Let me kindly warn you, you’d best stay away from it too, or you’ll surely be unlucky—won’t even know how you died!"
After finishing,
Liao Xiangming hung up the phone without saying more.
"Beep beep beep—"
Listening to the busy tone on the phone,
Tang Suiming’s body trembled, swallowing hard again.
Indeed.
He had just been unlucky enough, almost lost his life.
But he had always thought...
It was merely pure bad luck, never associated it with anything else.
"Could it... truly be related to the forum?"
He gripped his phone tightly, murmuring.
Additionally, thinking of...
Qin Mu’s threats, he couldn’t help but shiver.
"Too mysterious, impossible!"
He took a deep breath, shook his head vigorously.
As a staunch materialist.
He firmly refused to believe in such supernatural things.
Yet...
He still called for his assistant, instructing, "By the way, you go to the company tomorrow and clean up any traces."
Many of his company’s businesses...
were not legal, on the edges of violating laws.
Given the threats, he had to show some respect.
As for him...
His body was injured everywhere now.
Although better off than Liao Xiangming, he was essentially bedridden.
Had to entrust everything to his assistant.
...
The next day.
In the morning.
The assistant, following Tang Suiming’s instructions, arrived at the company.
Planning to handle those illegal businesses.
However...
Halfway through handling, he saw the company receptionist rushing toward him hurriedly.
Looking panicked: "Not good, big trouble, a group of police just came looking specifically for Mr. Tang..."
Just after she spoke,
several police officers walked toward him, showing their badges.
Spoke: "Hello, we’re from Liang City xx Police Station, assisting Jin City’s police with an investigation. Is Tang Suiming in the company?"
The assistant froze for a moment.
Dared not hide, explained the situation of Tang Suiming being hospitalized.
"Hospitalized?"
One of the middle-aged officers frowned, then asked, "Can you show us your company’s recent business activities?"
Upon hearing this,
the assistant’s expression changed dramatically.
Those businesses in the company...
Though seemingly legitimate, once investigated would reveal problems.
Yet he couldn’t refuse the officers’ request to see the documents, else it would be obstructing official duties.
Which involves criminal responsibility.
"Here they are."
Feeling helpless,
he could only lead the officers to the archive room to retrieve the materials.
Including taxes, accounts, financial transactions, business dealings, etc.
While the officers were packing up the borrowed materials,
one of the middle-aged officers stared at him again, asked solemnly: "One more thing, has your company had recent dealings with the Study Law Alliance Forum?"
Upon hearing this,
the assistant’s expression changed again, eyes evasive.
He continuously shook his head.
This business was a project Tang Suiming had been heavily pursuing recently, but hadn’t secured it.
"But we have detected through technical means that you’ve made several calls to the forum’s administrator, within which there were threats. Listen to this recording, whose voice is it?"
The middle-aged officer played a recording for him.
Tang Suiming’s voice came through.
"Your forum now has significant daily active users; you can fully monetize by placing various ads. I have products, you have traffic; cooperating would be mutually beneficial—why not?"
"As long as you nod, the forum can resume normal operation within ten minutes."
"You wouldn’t want your painstakingly built forum to stay down forever, would you?"
"So many users are waiting for the forum to be restored, you wouldn’t bear to see them homeless, right?"
...
The assistant, hearing those familiar voices, started sweating on his forehead.
Dared not respond to the officer.
Instead, the receptionist blurted out: "Isn’t this Mr. Tang’s voice?"
