Hello, Mr. Major General

Chapter 978



978 Crisis Managemen

Cai Songyin felt very distraught and waved her hand dismissively. “Very well, go call the person you know and tell them I said that we were framed. Have him hire you as our lawyer to represent us in the lawsuit.”

“Auntie, maybe it’s better for you or uncle to go say it? Will it even matter if I say it?” While Cai Shengnan was eager to give it a try, she still wanted to save face and have a better guarantee.

Cai Songyin rolled her eyes at her. “I have important things to discuss with your uncle, go find this person yourself. He’s your uncle’s former deputy, so he will surely listen.”

“Okay then.” Cai Shengnan received the assurance she needed and immediately called Cai Songyin’s acquaintance.

Cai Songyin had Tan Guiren call Tan Dongbang inside and passed the phone to him. Her face was ashen as she remarked, “Dongbang, have a look at the trouble you’ve caused. I’ll wait and see how you clean it up this time!”

Tan Dongbang had just returned from having a drink outside, so he was very confused to see their two families suddenly looking at him so strangely.

When he came in for dinner, Ca Songyin told him to get along with their family. She took his phone away so he couldn’t read the news.

Now that Cai Songyin returned the phone to him, he finally looked down at it. As soon as he looked, he was so shocked that he nearly flung the phone away.

“What... What on earth is this? Who is this blogger? Why is he framing me?! I’ll send someone to arrest him! I will sue him! I’ll make sure he’s in jail for life!”

Cai Songyin’s heart dropped as she quickly replied, “This blogger was also hacked by someone, so what’s the point of you suing him? And you’re saying that he’s framed you?! He’s clearly framing me!”

Cai Songyin and Tan Dongbang were the only people left in the small separate room, so they didn’t have any reservations about closing the door and arguing angrily.

“Right, right, right, he’s framing you and also smearing me! Wasn’t there no clear image of me in this video before?! Why did it appear again?!” Tan Dongbang’s face switched between being red and pale. He looked quite awful.

He could no longer think about how he would be attending the Lunar New Year gala tomorrow and giving a Lunar New Year speech to the entire nation!

Cai Songyin leaned against the wall and coldly watched Tan Dongbang’s pathetic and defeated expression. She snapped, “Don’t even think about who did such a nasty thing! The most important thing right now is to completely delete this short video from the internet!”

Gu Yanran was already a lost cause since she had already become infamous from the first video.

But that wasn’t the case for Tan Dongbang. Even though Cai Songyin’s relationship with him had been damaged, they were still officially husband and wife. Also, what kind of position did Tan Dongbang hold?

This wasn’t a respectable thing for someone of his position to do.

The truth was, this current crisis was even more tricky than when Tan Dongbang had been impeached.

Being impeached could still be regarded as an open and fair battle. As long as Tan Dongbang won the lawsuit, there would be no damage to his reputation and prestige. In fact, it could even be a bonus.

As far as the impeachment process was concerned, the requirements would be much more stringent than the first impeachment if other parties were to initiate a second one.

Cai Songyin was confident that Tan Dongbang would not be impeached a second time.

However, the short video had completely humiliated Tan Dongbang this time around. It was like cutting his flesh with a dull knife.

Cai Songyin felt suffocated as soon as she thought about it.

Who was it?

Who would be so vicious?!

In a certain corner of her heart, she somehow knew that this incident had something to do with Huo Shaoheng. But from a logical perspective, she also refused to believe this speculation. Huo Shaoheng was obviously traveling in the military with General Ji. Cai Songyin knew their exact daily itinerary.

Cai Songyin’s personnel had a far reach within the media world. Although the news media accompanying the base troops was a part of the military itself, it still belonged in the media industry. As a result, they had a myriad of connections with each other.

Because of this, Cai Songyin knew that Huo Shaoheng didn’t have a minute or second’s opportunity to do such a thing. In the past 14 days, Huo Shaoheng and General Ji had been followed by the news media from all angles and without any blind spots.

It was due to this that Cai Songyin had the gall to build online momentum for Huo Shaoheng. She’d given him a taste of what it was like to be internet famous, then used a short essay to knock him back down. Afterward, she would have someone step in to help Huo Shaoheng salvage his reputation.

And she would give Tan Guiren the credit for all of this. Cai Songyin would make Huo Shaoheng realize that it was because of Tan Guiren’s total devotion to him that she’d convinced Cai Songyin to help him.

Huo Shaoheng’s feelings were bound to change in the process of falling from the peak of fame to rock bottom, then rising from rock bottom back to the peak.

He would realize that when it came to personal characteristics and family backgrounds, Tan Guiren was the woman best suited for him.

Unfortunately, her merry plan didn’t get a chance to be put into action before she was plunged into this totally passive and desperate situation.

From the looks of things now, Huo Shaoheng was not the one about to fall from the peak to rock bottom. Instead, it would be their family...

Cai Songyin’s eyes turned red as she glared at Tan Dongbang. “Hurry up and make the call!”

“I’ll call my subordinate right away and have him command the social media company to delete this!” Tan Dongbang was reminded by Cai Songyin, so he frantically found his subordinate’s number on his phone.

As he made the call, the subordinate was also reading the news and awaiting Tan Dongbang’s instructions.

“...Hurry up and command them to solve the problem immediately! Regardless if it’s deleting it or covering it up, it needs to be removed no matter what!” Tan Dongbang gripped the phone and put a hand on his waist as he stood in the separate area, so angry that his face turned red and his neck puffed out.

“What?! They can’t delete it?! Then what should we do?!”

When Tan Dongbang heard that the media company was experiencing technical difficulties and was unable to delete or block the short video, he finally felt the great disaster approaching for the first time.

He hadn’t felt this helpless even when he was being impeached.

Who on earth was the mastermind behind this?!

Did they want him to die?!

As soon as Cai Songyin heard this, she immediately grabbed the phone from Tan Dongbang and said gravely, “If they can’t think of a solution for this in five minutes, they shouldn’t dream of getting next year’s license!”

Without a state-approved license, this media company would have to shut down.

This was the cruelest trick she had.

Tan Dongbang’s subordinate immediately forwarded this command to the management of the media company. He told them, “If you can’t solve this problem in five minutes, you can wait for the business to close down and file bankruptcy and go into liquidation!”

The executives finally panicked and, after having an emergency meeting with all the major shareholders, they found the technical director to ask him, “How much longer will it take to solve this problem? You still have three minutes left.”

The technical director was anxious when he heard that their company would be shut down immediately if they couldn’t solve this problem. “There is a solution, but I’m afraid that it will cause huge losses!”

“What loss could be larger than having the company shut down? Hurry up and tell me now!” The CEO of the social media company was livid, brandishing his fists and wanting nothing more than to punch the technical director in the face.

“We have to shut down all the servers, then restart using the backup data from a few days ago.” The technical director awkwardly managed to cough. “But this will cause us to face huge data losses. It may even result in legal issues.”

In the past year, they had somehow angered a powerful person and were constantly hacked. They had already restarted with backup data twice...

“Nevermind that, we can talk about future things as long as this works!” The CEO brandished his large hand. “Hurry up and do it! Shut down all the servers and restart using backup data from a few days ago!”

The CEO made the decision, so the technical director immediately informed their company’s server network administrators around the world to shut down all their servers!

This instantly caused a huge ruckus.

Their company claimed to have hundreds of millions of users, and there were over 100 million active users daily.

So when they shut down all worldwide servers without any warning, the economic loss was trivial since the key point was the extremely negative impact on users.

They also had their competitors to deal with.

Taking advantage of this situation, several of their competitors rushed to attract new users by offering all sorts of offers to steal many of the users.

But no matter what, they finally deleted the short video.

Afterward, someone secretly stepped in to delete all links and content related to the video.

Cloud drives, email inboxes, and the servers for all the major forum websites underwent a cleanup.

However, their reaction had been too slow.

By the time they reacted by deciding to shut down all the servers, this five-minute video had already spread across the entire globe at lightning-fast speeds before it could be stopped.

Even foreign users, including foreign intelligence agencies, received a copy of the short video. This was a high-definition video. Gu Yanran had a great body and a beautiful face. She was even more attractive than many Japanese actresses.

Also, Gu Nianzhi had labeled Gu Yanran’s name as “Kasahara Naoko.” Everyone saw this name and praised the next rising star of the Japanese entertainment industry.

When the foreign intelligence agencies analyzed this video, they discovered that Mrs. Tan’s image had been inserted into the video. However, Tan Dongbang’s footage had actually been recorded.

In other words, Tan Dongbang had starred in a fierce drama for all the people of the world...

This was a big joke!

And although this five-minute video had been deleted when the related media company finally shut down all global servers, some people had saved copies on their personal computers.

When the Huaxia Imperial citizens discovered that the woman was actually called “Kasahara Naoko” and was obviously Japanese, their fury exploded like a volcano.

Soon after, searches for “Kasahara Naoko” quickly rose to the top of the Qiandu search engine.

Because Gu Nianzhi had already prepared a Qiandu encyclopedia information page on “Kasahara Naoko,” anyone could search for it.

As every single person from the Kasahara family surfaced, some interested people even searched using other historical data as a comparison.

They were shocked to discover that Kasahara Naoko’s great-grandfather had been a certain Colonel in Japan’s infamous numbered military unit!

Prime Minister Tan had an affair with such a woman and his wife had been there to record it. That certainly meant he wasn’t being framed by someone else!
