Chapter 182: The Military Steps In! Little Japan's Schemes!

Lin Yi never expected that the mastermind behind this entire affair was Matsushita Corporation from Little Japan.

"That's correct. After a cross-regional operation by our Pengcheng police, we have apprehended three influential online figures involved in the case.

One hails from Suzhou, and two are from Pengcheng. According to their confessions, they accepted commissions online

to smear Fengyi Technology. Based on engagement metrics and traffic volume, they received substantial rewards..."

Liang Liang Liang Wenliang paused briefly before continuing over the phone:

"Our cyber investigators have traced their financial transactions,

It was discovered that a sum of their money actually came from a Long Kingdom account held by a service company under the Matsushita Corporation... However, the case is still under interrogation,

these are merely the speculations of our investigators!"

Hearing him speak this way, Lin Yi fell silent for a moment before saying:

"I understand, thank you, Liang Liang Wenliang!"

"Why be so polite? We are all friends; just don't forget your 1982 Lafite!"

Liang Liang Liang Wenliang said with a smile.

"Hehe, no problem!"

Lin Yi said with a smile.

"En, let's leave it at that. I will keep an eye on the interrogation of those big-V influencers for you. When the time comes, if you wish to file a lawsuit, find Tan Yong;

I guarantee that within the rules, they will be dealt with to the fullest extent. Do these big-V influencers truly think the internet is a lawless zone, that they cannot be punished?..."

"Okay, I understand!"

"Four-three-zero."

After ending the call with Liang Liang Liang Wenliang, Lin Yi's expression immediately turned somewhat gloomy.

"Matsushita, is it?"

At this moment, what he did not know was that

inside the police station in Modu, a big-V influencer named Zhao Peng was already crying his eyes out.

If he had known earlier that accepting that money to smear Fengyi Technology would lead to his arrest, and judging by what these police uncles said,

he would likely face a prison sentence, he would never have participated.

"Police uncle, I have confessed everything, boo-hoo, how long will I be sentenced!"

Zhao Peng asked while weeping.

The two male officers interrogating him looked at him without a shred of sympathy.

Only now do you feel fear; what were you doing before?

"That depends on whether the enterprise chooses to pursue you and the magnitude of their losses. If the losses are significant enough, you will face at least two years in prison plus a fine!"

One officer stated.

Upon hearing this penalty, Zhao Peng's face turned even paler.

Does this mean I'm going to jail?

Then won't I have a criminal record branded upon me forever, meaning my future children will never be able to become civil servants?

Seeing that he was nearly paralyzed with fright,

the interrogating officer showed him no leniency whatsoever:

"Think carefully about anything else you need to confess; do not hide anything. Even if you don't speak, someone else will. Do you hear me?"

"Mm-hmm!" Zhao Peng nodded weakly, completely devoid of spirit.

After being interrogated by the Modu police, the several captured big-V influencers confessed everything, down to the color of their underwear.

They all admitted that online, they had committed numerous acts of defamation like this before.

But since nothing ever happened in the end, they became so unrestrained, boldly smearing and spreading rumors about Fengyi Technology's products.

They thought that as long as this incident stirred up public opinion, even if the truth eventually reversed, it could not be traced back to them.

However, these people did not expect that the Modu police would take such serious action, directly carrying out cross-jurisdictional law enforcement.

Without even notifying the local police system in their jurisdiction, they handcuffed them and brought them back to Modu for trial.

The speed was so rapid and decisive

that it caught these big-V influencers completely off guard, resulting in all of them being caught red-handed.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Lin Yi dialed Colonel Song Song Tiejun's phone.

At times like this, the benefits of one's connections were undeniably evident.

Upon receiving Lin Yi's call in the Imperial Capital, Colonel Song hardly hesitated before saying:

"No problem, President Lin. Actually, even if you hadn't contacted me, we were already preparing to issue a statement on behalf of your company.

After all, since your company's products have passed our military's tests,

there is absolutely no possibility of safety issues regarding civilian use... For innovative high-tech enterprises like yours, it is only right that our military provides certain assistance!"

"Then thank you, Colonel Song. If you have time, come to Modu, and we will gather again!"

Lin Yi said.

"Hehehe, no problem!" Song Song Tiejun laughed.

Their friendship had been established after that drinking session.

As long as it did not violate military principles, Song Song Tiejun naturally had no objection.

Thus, very soon, Long Kingdom's largest military website, the Long Kingdom Military Network, released a statement.

The statement pointed out that Fengyi Technology's battery packs had passed acceptance inspection by the national defense industry,

and were an extremely excellent, qualified product.

Fengyi Technology was furthermore a supplier and partner for Long Kingdom's military equipment.

Moreover, the Long Kingdom Military Network displayed a photo of the "Qualification Certification for Equipment Manufacturing Units" issued by the military.

It clearly indicated Fengyi Technology, registered category: Class A Equipment Manufacturing Unit.

Registration number: ****, valid date: January 16, 2020.

Valid for four years.

Following this, the "Long Kingdom Military Daily" published a similar article.

What kind of organization is the Long Kingdom Military Network?

It is the sole news portal website approved by the Dragon Nation military, established with the mission of showcasing the military's splendor, reflecting the sentiments of officers and soldiers, expanding information channels, and gaining insight into global military affairs.

The "Dragon Nation Military News" is the official organ published by the military press, first launched on January 1, 1956. Starting from October 1, 1999,

the online edition of "Dragon Nation Military News" entered the international internet,

and was officially named "Dragon Nation Military News" on October 1, 2004.

With these two heavyweight media outlets speaking out,

in an instant, it was as if the sun had risen, causing all demons and monsters hidden in the darkness to scatter.

All negative news regarding Fengyi Technology on the internet vanished like smoke, disappearing without a trace.

It was as if it had never existed at all.

It was hard to imagine that just moments before, the entire internet had been crusading against Fengyi Technology.

In the blink of an eye, all sound ceased completely.

In fact, once the "Dragon Nation Daily" reprinted the content from "Dragon Nation Military News" and the "Dragon Nation Military Network,"

which media outlet in Dragon Nation would dare to oppose them?

If there truly were anyone brave enough, they would likely be invited by the local police system to have tea very soon.

Did they really think the intervention of state media was merely for show?

The "Dragon Nation Daily" further praised Fengyi Technology as a high-tech enterprise focused on technological innovation,

noting that its high-performance lithium batteries were in short supply immediately upon release, serving not only domestic mobile phones and markets but also being exported to the Ugly Nation,

and stating that such a treasure company deserved national protection.

Additionally, the "Dragon Nation Daily" made a rare statement,

urging vigilance against forces that smear outstanding Dragon Nation enterprises to achieve ulterior motives.

Moreover, beyond the state media, Ma Ma Sike from across the ocean, upon learning of this turmoil, surprisingly also spoke out in the media to strongly support Fengyi Technology:

"In my view, Fengyi Technology is the most innovative company in Dragon Nation,

and its founder, Lin Yi, is someone destined to change the world, just like me.

As for those claiming there are issues with Fengyi Technology's batteries, I am willing to test them personally before the global media!"

This fellow subsequently indeed tested Fengyi Technology's product.

He threw a fully charged Fengyi Technology Super 18650 battery into a fire.

Under such circumstances, ordinary ternary lithium batteries would explode.

However, no matter how much Fengyi Technology's battery was burned, it only emitted black smoke,

showing absolutely no signs of explosion.

In the end, all that remained in the fire was a piece of black substance.

Next, Ma Ma Sike used a sharp awl to pierce the battery casing; had it been an ordinary battery, it would have short-circuited at this point,
