Chapter 405: Reversal

"Everyone, the reason we live in a peaceful and prosperous era is because there is a group of people on the border silently guarding us. You only know that an internet celebrity was beaten, but you don't know why he was beaten."

Jun Jun stepped forward again and said: "A doctor with superb medical skills, heartbroken that life-saving medicine was destroyed, rose up and hit an internet celebrity. As a result, he became the center of a public opinion vortex, while several of our Tianyun Group's production lines were forced to shut down—the very production lines for these hemostatic and detoxifying medicines."

"You do not respect the people who guard you with their lives, yet when someone who lies to you for money every day gets beaten, it's as if your own parents were beaten. Where is your conscience?"

The people at the scene were silent. Suddenly, a reporter shouted: "But there was no need to hit someone, couldn't it have been resolved in other ways?"

"Very well, watch this video. After you finish watching, you can discuss whether the beating was right or wrong." As Jun Jun said this, he played the video.

De Ge, who was watching the live stream, suddenly turned deathly pale, because judging by the angle, it must be surveillance footage, and this surveillance was exactly what happened at Yaoshan that day.

His incredibly arrogant face suddenly appeared on the screen.

"I earn more in one live stream than you do in a lifetime."

"The place I set my eyes on is mine. Don't talk to me about borrowing this land to film a video; even if I seal off this area for a live stream, you have to obediently clear out."

"I have tens of millions of fans; one video is enough to ruin your Tianyun."

"Pah, what border soldiers? Does their life or death have anything to do with me? Do you know what's important? Making money. Get out, don't delay me from making money."

Slap... A slap landed, and the footage ended abruptly there.

The live stream room instantly boiled over. Hundreds of thousands of people were watching the Tianyun press conference, and the comments had already drowned out the entire live stream screen.

"What kind of trash is this dog thing? The ones protecting us are those soldiers who bleed and sacrifice."

"He doesn't treat soldiers' lives as lives. Dog thing, hit him again."

"I said it, Tianyun's medicine is so effective, their leadership couldn't have hit someone for no reason."

"Poor Tianyun, almost bankrupted by a bunch of morons."

"It's all Grandpa Yuan's fault for letting those people eat too well."

"Ban this dog thing. Look at how twisted people's values have become because of these people who act like clowns on the internet every day."

"Chen Yu, how could there be surveillance? Why didn't you say so earlier?" De Ge looked at Chen Yu in terror.

"If I had said it earlier, would you have put in so much effort to promote us? Thank you. You let our Tianyun dominate the screen for a few days. Now the reversal has come; this free advertising you gave us is really satisfying." Chen Yu laughed out loud.

"You set me up, Chen Yu, you set me up!" De Ge shrieked.

"Don't be in such a hurry, the more exciting part is still to come." Chen Yu smiled.

"If it were you, would you hit him?" Jun Jun asked the live stream room.

"Hit him."

"One slap is too few, beat him a few more times."

A group of reporters shouted angrily; none of them had expected that this was the truth of the matter.

"For the past few days, Tianyun Group has faced cyberbullying and has been unable to operate normally," Jun Jun said with regret. "Everyone only cares that an internet celebrity was beaten and felt wronged, but no one cares why he was beaten?"

"Those who bleed and sacrifice for us at the border are still facing severe injuries and the infestation of poisonous insects, yet in the peaceful and prosperous era they guard, no one cares about them."

Jun Jun sighed and said: "I have to say, this is a tragedy."

"The fact that things have blown up so big these past few days is abnormal. Wu De couldn't possibly have this much power." Someone suddenly thought of this point.

"That's right, this friend is absolutely correct." Jun Jun quickly grasped the key point: "Below is what I want to say. Just today, Wu De suddenly asked to meet with our President Chen. This is the situation of their conversation."

The screen shifted again to the room where Chen Yu and Wu De were. Their conversation from just a moment ago had been clearly recorded.

Wu De's disgusting face was presented once more: "It's not fifty million, it's five hundred million. Fifty million? Do you really think I'm short of that little money? I earn that much in just a few live streams."

"It is true that this matter exists, and the Zhao Group did indeed give me money. But believe me, I can settle this matter. As long as you are willing to spend the money, none of this is a problem."

"I don't care if you can produce the medicine or not! I don't care if a few soldiers die at the border! Five hundred million—pay up and this matter will be put to rest. If you can't, then your Tianyun can wait to go out of business."

On the processed video, a large close-up of Wu De was shown. This guy's ugly face was instantly magnified countless times. In that instant, the live stream room was completely overwhelmed.

"Too hateful, petition to ban Wu De."

"Besides money, what else is in this dog thing's eyes?"

"There's actually the Zhao Group involved too. This trash group only knows how to copy others; they see what makes money and go to ruin the other party. So low."

"Chen Yu, you ruined me, you ruined me!" Wu De screamed, his face devoid of any color. He knew that once this video was released, he would be completely finished.

"Ruined you? A person like you is truly a dog, always biting back at others," Chen Yu sneered. "You haven't cyberbullied others any less in the past, right? This time it's your turn. Hehe, but you shouldn't be able to feel it for much longer. Five hundred million—the police will be at your door very soon."

"Chen Yu, can we talk this over? We're both just doing it for money. Tell me how much you want, I'll give it all, I absolutely won't haggle." Wu De desperately tried to stop Chen Yu.

"What is my net worth, and what is yours?" Chen Yu sneered. "That little bit of money of yours really hasn't reached the point where I'd even look at it, so get as far away as you can."

"Chen Yu, don't push me too far. I have big shots supporting me from above," Wu De said angrily.

"Oh, you have support? Hehe, then I might as well tell you: this time, no matter how big the big shot is, they won't be able to save you." Chen Yu smiled.

"Chen Yu, don't go, don't go!" Watching Chen Yu turn to leave, Wu De screamed in terror.

"De Ge, it's bad! The company is being blocked by people, you've been put on a human flesh search, and the higher-ups have decided to ban your social media accounts. Your ten million fans are all gone!" Just at this moment, an assistant ran over in a hurry and screamed in terror.

"Find someone! Quickly contact our Bureau Chief Wu above!" Wu De roared: "Hurry!"

"I can't reach Bureau Chief Wu anymore. He won't answer our calls. This time, it's really over," the assistant said, his legs shaking.

"Trash, all of you are trash! Get out, all of you get out!" Wu De shrieked hysterically. He never imagined he would fall so quickly.

This matter had already incited public anger and formed a powerful storm of public opinion. Wu De was completely finished, and this time, even the Zhao Family was implicated.

This Tianyun public opinion incident affected production, and the two medicines for the border were in short supply. Several big shots above were furious and wanted to severely punish the instigator.

A person like Wu De was originally just a small fry, not worth the big shots' fury. What truly made them furious was the role the Zhao Group played this time.

Moreover, the Zhao Group had always been unscrupulous in order to make money. There was a direct directive from the big shots that the Zhao Group needed to be taught a lesson, and that enterprises like Tianyun, which work for the country and the people, should be supported more. In other words, the Zhao Family was pushed to the forefront.

Zhao Family Courtyard, in the living room.

Zhao Zhong was kneeling on the ground, trembling slightly. An old lady sat in the main hall; she had a head of silver hair and stared at Zhao Zhong with a face full of anger.

This old lady was none other than Zhao Zhong's grandmother, Xing Lan. The old master of the Zhao Family passed away early, and now she was the one presiding over the big picture from behind the scenes at the Zhao Group.

The fact that the Zhao Group spent money to smear Tianyun had already been leaked. Coupled with the Zhao Group's history of how they built their fortune and their unscrupulous ways of making money, the Zhao Group had now reached the point of being despised by everyone.

Now the Zhao Group's stock price had plummeted, and important assets had suffered severe damage. Although the Zhao Group could hold on for a while, no one knew how long they could last. After all, this had only just begun, and next, the Zhao Family would be drowned in spit.

"Grandmother, I really didn't know it would turn out like this. I only wanted to acquire Tianyun Group, but I never thought I would bring disaster upon myself," Zhao Zhong said, trembling.

"Useless thing. You never listen to anyone's advice, and when trouble hits, you act like this. With you like this, how can I feel at ease handing over the Zhao Group to you?" Xing Lan grabbed the cup beside her and threw it.

Crack! Her most beloved purple clay cup shattered into pieces on the floor, and the hot water inside splashed all over Zhao Zhong. Zhao Zhong was so scared he trembled, yet he dared not say a single word.
