A late night quickly descended upon Lin'an City, enveloping it in darkness. Scattered lights in the residential areas exuded a sense of tranquility and peace, evoking a warmth at first glance.
At this mont, those who had been busying themselves throughout the day had already returned ho, enjoying leisure ti before bed.
This was when internet usage was at its peak.
Zhou Fengming sat in a high-end apartnt, his brows furrowed, and his eyes filled with irritation.
Before him lay a bottle of high-proof liquor, its aroma introducing a trace of eeriness into the room.
Pouring himself a glass slowly, Zhou Fengming tipped his head back, downing the liquor completely, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
To block today's overwhelming news reports, he had to swallow his pride and seek help from the Jiang Family, the very family he least wished to ask. The attitude of humble servitude towards a man much younger than himself left the highly self-regarded Zhou Fengming feeling profoundly humiliated!
The feeling of groveling servitude was sothing he never wanted to experience again!
In outrage, Zhou Fengming poured himself another glass of liquor, tipping his head back again, draining it, his eyes now filled with spite.
"That despicable scoundrel lurking in the shadows, don't let catch you, for once I do, I will tear you to pieces!"
His words were malicious and ominous, exuding a heavy aura of bloodshed like an Evil Spirit, capable of killing without drawing blood, radiating a bloodthirsty aura.
This adversary working behind the scenes had indeed caused him severe losses.
Now, Zhou Fengming not only lost all his savings, but he couldn't even sell off his real estate assets!
If it weren't for the funds available to him from the Dongdao Group, he would have been reduced to a complete pauper by now!
This ti, his enemy didn't even show their face, yet left Zhou Fengming severely weakened!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he beca. He grabbed the liquor bottle in front of him and drank directly from it in hefty gulps!
"Hmph!"
After gulping down a big mouthful of liquor, Zhou Fengming said coldly, "I'll endure for a while, and once this storm blows over, I'll change locations, sell off all my real estate, and then make a coback!"
At this mont, Zhou Fengming murmured to himself, his tone icy.
Sand!
As Zhou Fengming was drinking in solitude, a servant dressed in a black Tang suit approached, bowing slowly, and said, "Master..."
"What is it!?"
Hearing the servant's words, Zhou Fengming responded coldly, his words sharp and cold, not wishing for the servant's presence at this mont.
"Master, online..."
Hearing Zhou Fengming's words, the servant paused slightly before speaking, "There are new developnts..."
New developnts!?
Upon hearing this, Zhou Fengming's body froze. He abruptly raised his head, glanced at the servant before him, and said coldly, "What new developnts!?"
His words were filled with coldness and astonishnt.
He hadn't expected that, having just asked the Jiang Family to help block those online news articles, new developnts would appear within a few hours!
"Master, you should see for yourself..."
Hearing Zhou Fengming's murderous tone, the servant, without saying a word, handed the tablet in his hand to Zhou Fengming, appearing extrely humble and respectful.
Taking the tablet, Zhou Fengming glanced at it, and suddenly, he was stunned, his eyes imdiately bloodshot, filled with ferocity!
On the tablet screen, written in bold red letters was: Uphold Justice, Never Bow to Dark Forces!
Below the title was a lengthy article addressing his attempt to block news websites, thousands of words long. The view count had surpassed 280 million!
Buzz!
Seeing this, Zhou Fengming was utterly dumbfounded. He never anticipated that the situation would beco so challenging!
Just that afternoon, he had used Jiang Family connections to block an article with 140 million views, and now, by nightfall, a more damning article had surfaced.
This incident was like a bolt from the blue, nearly rendering Zhou Fengming unconscious.
280 million views—what does that signify?
It indicates that nearly half of the nation's active internet users were paying attention to this issue!
His dayti efforts of suppression not only failed but backfired!
"How can this be!?"
Seeing this, Zhou Fengming could hardly believe his eyes; he never thought the situation would backfire so drastically.
Judging by the current circumstances, his dayti suppression not only didn't help but backfired, making the fire burn even brighter!
As he scrolled slowly down the page, he saw the comnt count breaking past 30 million, all in unison against him, without a single opposing voice!
"Flashpoint dia did well, we absolutely shouldn't bow to such dark and evil tis; we're on your side!"
"This Zhou Family from Jinling City actually used connections to block the news; does this disgusting family really think they can cover the sky with one hand!?"
"Keep exposing them; we're with you!"
…
The comnt section below the lengthy article was filled with such remarks, making one's head spin and heart race!
Seeing this, Zhou Fengming's hands trembled; he never thought that his afternoon suppression efforts not only didn't quash the issue but placed him on the opposite side of public opinion!
"Master"
Seeing Zhou Fengming's trembling hands, the servant spoke cautiously, "This isn't the worst part yet..."
Bang!
With these words, a splitting headache surged through Zhou Fengming's mind. He lifted his eyes, looking at the servant in front of him, and asked, "What did you say?"
"Master, this isn't the worst yet"
The servant replied to Zhou Fengming's inquiry, "Now, large dia platforms like Weibo, Twitter, and Facebook have been completely overrun, and the comnts there are even more terrifying..."
His words were careful, filled with a sense of dread.
