"Who do you need to borrow?” Chu Yifeng asked.

Wang Cheng put the information he had been given onto the coffee table. "David. Do you remember that you said that David had resolved the situation of Yuan Xia being exposed on the internet? Then his technology skills should be very good. I need a favor from him; you should have heard that someone is exposing my artists on the Internet." Chu Yifeng had heard about it, so he helped him dial David's number.

David was in Italy at this time so, due to the time difference, his boss’s call didn’t come in the middle of the night like it did last time. When he heard that Wang Cheng was asking for his help, David readily agreed.

Wang Cheng sent him the information related to what he wanted him to check. As long as there was any little clue, David could find the person on the internet who was hidden behind the scenes. To David, this was much easier than the things that his boss usually asked him to check. The other party seemed to know their way around a computer, but they were still a newbie. In front of David, a veteran, their effort was like an egg hitting a rock.

In less than half an hour, David sent the information he had found to Wang Cheng's mailbox.

After looking through it, Wang Cheng found that David had given him a big surprise. Not only did he find out the other person’s real-life identity, but he had also copied all the materials that person had stored on their computer. Many of the materials were fatal, and once published, that person would be finished.

"David, not bad. time you come to China, I will take you out to have a big meal at a three-star restaurant."

David replied to the email a few seconds later. Wang Cheng could feel his excitement through the computer, as exclamation points took up most of the screen.

"So that’s settled." Wang Cheng closed his computer, and his eyes fell on Chu Yifeng, who had just taken a shower. He walked to him and put his arms around his shoulders, smiling: "Boss Chu, now it’s time for you to perform."

Chu Yifeng raised his eyebrows.

"Don't you have a way to hire a water army? Hire a group for me. I am going to post some of the information that David has passed to me on the Internet. I’m not worried about the company's public relations team, but I want to know more about the Internet," Wang Cheng said. He had to study this for the future.

"Pass the information to me." Chu Yifeng threw off his towel.

Wang Cheng passed his computer to him and said, "Just use my computer." Then he ran back to the bedroom and brought a blow dryer.

Chu Yifeng was helping him make a living, so he himself used a blow dryer to help him dry his hair, while watching how he operated.

It was actually easy to hire a water army. Chu Yifeng knew a professional water army organization, and according to him, the other party had professional ethics.

After passing the information to them, those people acted immediately and passed a plan back to them in less than ten minutes. After Wang Cheng agreed to it, the organization immediately uploaded the things to the Internet according to the plan.

They acted very quickly. The accounts they used were all old, and some were even verified. It was hard to doubt the professionalism of such a water army.

When Wang Cheng refreshedly came back from his bath, this topic had already risen to the top. It had entered the eyes of netizens in less than an hour. Since no evidence was posted yet, the comments below the topic were mixed.

In an apartment, a man wearing rimless glasses was sitting in front of a computer and reading Weibo. His attention was quickly drawn to one of the Weibo topics.

When the man opened this topic and read the content, he couldn't help but sneer. If they thought such a little trick could bring him down, they were underestimating him.

The man opened his Weibo account and typed a paragraph into the pink box: No matter what others say about me, the truth is that I just want to do my best to expose the ugly facts hidden under glamorous appearances. I know that what I do might offend many people, but I still believe that the masses have a right to know the truth. Fortunately, there are still many people standing by my side supporting me in order to restore the truth. For the sake of us all, even when evil forces oppose me, I will be resolute to my original intentions and will never change.

The man sent out the completed paragraph after repeated consideration. Some netizens responded a few minutes later, and over 60% of the following were people who supported him. The man happily read a few pages of comments, completely ignoring the malicious attacks. When he reached the bottom, he suddenly saw a very calm comment.

"What is Justice Black and White? I understand how justice can be white, but how can it be black? Does this mean that the blackness hidden in the dark can be called righteous? I don't know if you know, but black plus white is gray. I believe that good and evil will receive their just ends in a way that cannot be ignored, but that time has not yet come."

The man's eyelids inexplicably twitched immediately after reading this comment. After refreshing it, the comment was buried, so in the end, he didn't take it to heart.

Before going to bed, the man swiped through Weibo again. After seeing that the majority of the people supported him, he comfortably fell asleep. When he got up the next day, the direction of opinion on the Internet had already changed.

It was revealed that the Weibo posts updated by the Weibo celebrity ‘Justice Black and White’ in the past were actually only done after receiving money, allowing him to use his authoritative effect to guide public opinion, with evidence on this provided.

Major sources uploaded many pictures overnight, of evidence of Justice Black and White’s transactions with other parties using chat software, along with some signed contracts. The content of the two parties’ agreement was clearly written, and it displayed the signature of Justice Black and White, while the name of the other party’s signature was blurred.

Justice Black and White had always prided himself on justice, otherwise he would not take on such a name. Because the news he published had always been close to the truth, many netizens were willing to follow and buy from his account. However, the premise of all this was that he did not cheat them. So, the netizens were angry after discovering that they had been fooled.

This so-called ‘Justice’ was originally based on money. It was only because they were blind to the truth that they believed in Justice Black and White. Their anger was as powerful now as their belief had been before. The direction of public opinion had now completely changed, and netizens angrily picked over what Justice Black and White had done in the past, some people even posting some of the things from long ago onto the Internet. This Justice Black and White suddenly became like a dog in the water.

What was even more dramatic was that celebrities who had previously been stripped of their roles and had their careers fall to the ground stood up to testify. They said that they had been having a hard time since that incident, and that no family or relatives cared for them, in order to win the public’s sympathy and use that sympathy to usher in the second wave of their career.

There was a lot of scolding on the Internet, and ‘Justice Black and White’ didn't even dare to let out a fart. All the content of its Weibo was deleted within an hour, and then disappeared directly. However, the smarter netizens had already cut and saved the pictures. It was said that a tragically framed star was preparing to sue ‘Justice Black and White’.

The biggest beneficiary of this behind-the-scenes turmoil was Yazhi Media.

Although there was no evidence that Yazhi had been framed on the Internet, the netizens themselves subconsciously saw Yazhi as a victim, and praised Yazhi for doing a good thing and kicking the disgusting stars out of the entertainment industry.

Yazhi Media took this opportunity to hype up its own artists, and the effect of this was pretty good. Some artists became popular and even received scripts and endorsements because of this.

When Pan Zhihai came back from abroad, this matter was almost concluded. The first thing he did when he returned to the company was not go to his office, but to find Wang Cheng.

"Zhou Shao, I was wrong. You, a kind man, have let me off big time, so I will never dare to do such a thing again." As soon as Pan Zhihai entered, he saw a man kneeling on the ground with his back at the door. He seemed to recognize his voice to be a member of the public relations team. Who knew what drama they were staging now.

Wang Cheng gestured for him to wait, then said to the man: "Who instructed you to steal company secrets?"

Ma Daxing immediately shook his head. "I don't know who it was. The other party just contacted me by phone and asked me to steal company information, promising to give me another 50,000 yuan besides the first payment afterwards."

"Since you refuse to tell the truth, then I will have to call the police and take you to the police station." Wang Cheng picked up his mobile phone as he said this.

"Don't, don't! What I said was true, Chairman." Ma Daxing didn't want to go to jail.

Wang Cheng put down his phone and looked at him calmly. "I will only listen to the truth; you have one more chance."

Ma Daxing didn't dare to conceal anything anymore. What he had said before was true: he didn't know who the other party was. Only the last sentence pertaining to the fifty thousand was false, it was actually one hundred thousand yuan, and the other party had already paid him one hundred thousand in advance.

"Call him now and ask him to pay you another 100,000," Wang Cheng said.

Ma Daxing was dumbfounded, "This..."

"What? Not willing?" Wang Cheng narrowed his eyes.

Ma Daxing knew that if he dared to say no, the chairman would definitely call the police immediately. So, he quickly took out his mobile phone and found the number. When he was about to call it, Wang Cheng stopped him.

"After the call is connected, turn on the speakerphone and tell him that you have stolen very important material. If he asks you what that material is, say that it is related to an artist Yazhi is about to make famous. If it goes out, Yazhi plans will definitely be hindered."

After the call was connected, Ma Daxing gave a greeting, and a clear, irritable voice came from the other end. Ma Daxing immediately asked: "I have done what I promised you. When will you give me the remaining 100,000? "

"The matter is not over yet, why are you in such a hurry?"

"The follow-up has nothing to do with me. I am only responsible for stealing information, you didn’t mention anything else." Ma Daxing did not expect that the other party would not give it.

The man sneered.

Ma Daxing gave Wang Cheng a quick glance, gritted his teeth and told him what Wang Cheng had told him to say: "I discovered new information two days ago. If you want it, you must fulfill your promise first, and then I will give it to you."

"How do I know if what you say is true?"

"One hundred thousand is originally what you promised to give me, and you also know who I am. If I was really deceiving you, you could expose me at any time, and the company would definitely not let me go. I just want the money, it’s no good for me to oppose you," Ma Daxing said freely.

The man hesitated for over ten seconds. "Okay, I will believe you just this once. If you dared to lie to me, I have a way to knock you down."

About ten minutes later, a text message came from Ma Daxing’s mobile phone, prompting him that 100,000 yuan had been transferred to his account. The account was unknown to Wang Cheng - the other party seemed to be very careful. After that, Ma Daxing followed Wang Cheng’s instructions to send information to the other party’s mailbox.

Naturally, the information could not be true. However, it was not empty words, but fake information obtained by Wang Cheng. After reading it, the other party would definitely not immediately suspect that it is false.

Half an hour later, Wang Cheng received a call from David.
