Chapter 3702: There is no trace, which is a trace in itself
【Modified version】
As the investigation of the Cybersecurity Team continues to deepen, the evidence they have is like a complicated web, gradually entangling Xue Bing and an Internet company behind it.
This evidence not only revealed the shocking inside story of the company using black public relations and trolls to manipulate public opinion and create false news, but also implicated a series of scandals involving profit transfer and illegal competition.
However, just as Team Liu was preparing to make a concerted effort to bring these black sheep to justice, an invisible resistance quietly came.
On this day, Captain Liu called Wu Hao and the others, with a hint of exhaustion and helplessness in his voice: "Mr. Wu, Mr. Zou, the situation here is not good. Although we have obtained a large amount of conclusive evidence,
But...but the pressure from above is too great. Some cases cannot be solved just by having evidence."
When Wu Hao heard this, his heart tightened, but he quickly calmed down and asked: "Liu Captain, what is the specific situation? Are they just allowed to get away with it?"
Team Liu sighed and explained: "Things are far more complicated than you think. The forces behind the Snow Soldiers are extraordinary. They not only have extensive influence in the business world, but are also inextricably linked in the Z world.
Now, someone from above has spoken, asking us to ‘handle it with caution’, which actually means asking us to..."
"Let's stop and stop here?" Wu Hao took over the words with a tone of reluctance.
"Yes." Team Liu's voice was low and heavy as he said, "I know this is difficult for you to accept, but this is the reality.
Although we enforce the law, we must also consider the overall situation and stability."
Wu Hao was silent for a moment, and then said firmly: "Liu Captain, I understand your difficulty.
But this matter is about justice and the healthy development of the industry. We can't just give up. We have to find a way, no matter how difficult it is, to make the truth known to the public."
Team Liu smiled bitterly: "Mr. Wu, I understand your determination, but reality is often more skinny than ideals.
However, I will try my best to at least not let this evidence go to waste. You should also be prepared, there may be bigger storms waiting for you."
After hanging up the phone, Wu Hao felt extremely heavy. He understood that this struggle had exceeded his initial expectations and had become a battle about interests, power and justice.
And he, as a key figure in this contest, must shoulder his due responsibilities.
At this moment, the phone rang again, and the screen displayed an unfamiliar but slightly familiar number. Wu Hao frowned, but still answered the phone: "Hello, I'm Wu Hao?"
"Xiao Wu, it's me." A calm and majestic voice came from the other end of the phone. Wu Hao was very familiar with this voice because he had contacted the other party many times.
"Hello, leader." Wu Hao's tone contained a hint of surprise and respect.
"Xiao Wu, I already understand what happened." The leader's voice was calm and he said: "I know you are a young man with a sense of justice, but some things are not as simple as black and white.
Xue Bing and his company have made important contributions to the local economy, and we cannot destroy them just because of trivial matters."
"A trivial matter?" Wu Hao was frightened, but remained calm on the surface and said: "Leader, this is not a trivial matter.
They use black public relations and trolls to create fake news and undermine market order. This is a serious crime."
The leader didn't seem to care about Wu Hao's rebuttal and continued: "Wu Hao, you have to understand that the overall situation is the most important thing.
Snow Soldier has agreed that as long as you stop investigating, he will make some compensation to you.
Moreover, I heard that you were also responsible for the flower basket incident? If this incident gets bigger, it will be detrimental to you, right?"
When Wu Hao heard this, he was shocked. The flower basket incident was an operation designed to expose a shady PR. Although it was clever, anyone with a discerning eye knew that Wu Hao and the others were responsible for this incident. Unexpectedly, this matter was actually taken advantage of by the other party.
as a threat.
However, Wu Hao was not intimidated. He responded calmly: "Leader, the flower basket incident has nothing to do with us. You can't accuse us unjustly. If you find any evidence here and we are sure that it was us, we will definitely
assume no responsibility."
Speaking of this, Wu Hao changed his tone and said: "As for Xue Bing's compensation, I don't need it. What I pursue is fairness and transparency in the industry, and social justice and progress. If I give up because I am afraid of threats, then I deserve it."
Do you have a conscience? Are you worthy of the victims?"
The leader's voice became stern: "You kid, don't do this. I know it was you without any evidence. You thought you did it perfectly, but you didn't know you could do it so seamlessly without leaving a single trace behind."
The little traces in itself are very obvious evidence. I wonder if there is anyone in this world who can do this thing so seamlessly. I'm afraid there are not many.
And besides you, who else would waste incident managers and resources on this matter? We can all deduce it."
Having said this, the leader sighed and said, "Xiao Wu, this world sometimes needs some compromise."
Wu Hao listened to the "teachings" of the leader on the other end of the phone, with a faint sneer on his lips. There was both helplessness and persistence in this smile. "Leader, you are right, this world does need compromise.
But the prerequisite for compromise is that it does not violate principles and bottom lines.
If we all turn a blind eye to unfair choices, how can the world progress?
Xue Bing and his company may have contributed to the local economy, but their actions have seriously undermined fair competition in the industry and harmed innocent consumers and other law-abiding businesses.
We would rather not have such a contribution."
Wu Hao's words were firm and powerful, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from the depths of his heart, with unquestionable power. On the other end of the phone, the leader was silent for a moment, seeming to be touched by Wu Hao's persistence, or perhaps
Thinking about something.
"Xiao Wu, I understand your temper.
But you have to understand that once something starts, it's hard to go back. Are you sure you want to risk everything for this so-called justice?" The leader's voice was more serious and less serious than before.
severe.
Wu Hao took a deep breath and looked through the office window at the distant sky dyed red by the setting sun. "Leader, from the moment I chose to stand up, I knew this road would be difficult to walk.
But I believe that although justice will be late, it will never be absent. I am willing to use my career and even my personal safety to exchange for a piece of pure land in the industry."
Just be stubborn, I'll see how you end up. After saying that, the leader hung up the phone.
As for Wu Hao, he felt unprecedentedly relaxed after ending the call. He knew that he had made the right choice, even though the road ahead was unknown, and even though he might face huge pressure and challenges. But at this moment, he felt extremely determined in his heart.
