In the past two days, Ling Qingyu requested help from Athena and Tang Ziyi to sort out her sister's affair. The effect was quick and immediate.
The internet was clear of Ling Yunxiang's black material. They hired some groups to reason her sister's impossible scandal and provided speculations of being wronged by the masses.
Whitewashing operation was a better term. The other was to suppress any dissidents online. No matter who their identities were—keyboard warriors or even passers-by who didn't differentiate rights from wrongs.
With Athena's capabilities and Tang Ziyi's guidance, deleting all the posts related to Ling Yunxiang was very simple, even if people tried to name her using different phrases or keywords. It never worked before the mighty Athena's computing power.
As long as the topic referred to Ling Yunxiang, they were under Athena's eyes, who took action instantly. Only the good ones were allowed to surface.
For those who refused to acknowledge and purposely threw specks of dirt over her sister, Ling Qingyu gave the two the green light to hack them and warned them.
If the same person continued, threatened them with a loss of important files. The same person refused to give up, then the total destruction of the devices was on the agenda.
Even Tang Ziyi could easily create a virus to destroy the electronic devices; Athena didn't even need one and her simple coding could fry the chips.
Some might argue Ling Qingyu's action had overstepped her boundaries, breaking ethics and morals, while attracting unnecessary attention from the relevant departments.
Ling Qingyu had confidence in Athena and Tang Ziyi. And as expected the government departments were helpless and stopped trying.
As for ethical consideration and morals, Ling Qingyu had simple words—screw off. In a situation where exposing the truth was necessary and legitimate means appeared insufficient due to the influence of a powerful family, Ling Qingyu understood her method was the only option.
Why not try investigative journalism, legal action, social media campaigns, persuading influential figures to back her sister, and let her sister accept public appearances and interviews?
Investigative journalism might work but time was of the essence. Who knew whether the journalists accepting her request backstabbed her in the next moment?
Pursuing legal actions merely scratched the surface. It cured the symptom, not the root cause.
Athena and Tang Ziyi hiring several other parties and working to reverse the trend were included in the social media campaign.

For the influential figures, Ling Qingyu would be happy if there was even one who would vouch for her sister. Unfortunately, many were reluctant and too frightened to come up for a truth. They never dared to offend the powerful party. Every man for himself.
Those who tried to seduce him, deserved to be killed!
Those who created an obstacle for him, deserved to be killed!
Such actions were like a tyrant in Ling Qingyu's sight. The overbearing people, merely due to possessing a bigger background, struck at anyone without even considering the consequences according to their moods, didn't deserve to be in a high position.
Ling Qingyu was certain, those who stepped up the ladder by themselves through their sweat and time, would never behave like the Qin family. Only, the descendants, who had never suffered, chose domineering actions.
And Ling Qingyu was also the one who fancied destroying these tyrannies. Ling Yunxiang being attacked gave her more excuse to participate. She disliked seeing such kinds of people in this life and in the past life.
Of course, there were others, who tried stepping on Ling Yunxiang but none of them were important figures in Ling Qingyu's eyes.
The famous artists who were involved in the event, might cry and commit suicide in anger. Their fame didn't even enter Ling Qingyu's thoughts. All these they had fought for were nothing.
However, Ling Qingyu didn't lift Athena's blows on them and let her daughter expose their black materials. Let them taste the fears and stresses her sister experienced in the past.
As for the Qin family, Ling Qingyu thought more but still struck them. Athena hacked into their server and exposed the dark sides of their companies, suffering both reputation loss and billions of yuan burnt to ashes.
Athena didn't forget to follow Ling Qingyu's orders to warn the Qin family to stop their actions or face consequences. As soon as dark materials were uncovered, Qin family had to kill their own subordinates because of public outcries.
Many were arrested and thrown to jail, likely to never see the outside life again, after following Qin family's orders. They were scapegoats.
Ling Qingyu knew she could strike harder but held her breath. Too much cornering could backfire and things might become out of her control. Just give the Qin family some time to survive, unfortunately.
Her powers were still unstable and weak compared to the big families. If her network strength rivaled the Shen family, she wouldn't even consider, withholding her blows.
Although there wasn't any evidence against her, too many coincidences occurred and it was hard for people not to suspect her.
Ling Yunxiang was her sister and this event preceded after the two got together.
Ling Qingyu, herself, was ready to fend off the quagmire before Yang Qingyue intervened and halted all unlawful actions, preventing anyone from investigating her, without any legal basis.
She expected Yang Qingyue to question her soon, since her soon-to-be police wife knew the hacking capability she possessed.
