Chapter 116: Chapter 114: The Red Flag Reappears (Please Subscribe)

“Chairman, this person is way out of line!”

In the office, Little Landlady pushed the door open, holding a tablet, pouting her lips, and with a somewhat indignant expression on her face.

Lin Chuan looked up and, seeing Little Landlady’s appearance, laughed, “What’s the matter, Little Landlady?”

Little Landlady walked over to Lin Chuan, handed him the tablet right before his eyes, and said indignantly, “He’s slandering me, Chairman!”

“Slandering me?”

Lin Chuan took the tablet, “Let me see.”

The tablet screen showed a blogger wearing a mask, holding a white cell phone, extending an index finger pointing at the phone, and immediately a string of text appeared on the left side of the video.

‘I walked into the factory area.’

‘From the outside, the walls of this factory area are cracked and overgrown with weeds, long abandoned.’

‘But after I entered the factory area, I saw a completely different scene.’

‘Inside the first floor, incandescent lights shone brightly, and below were cages locked up, containing people, no, they should be called pigs, miserably wailing.’

‘These pigs were skinny and disheveled.’

‘…’

Suddenly, two pictures appeared to the right of the blogger.

The blogger introduced, “This picture was taken by someone risking their life inside the factory area today, the layout inside matches the description in this novel very closely.”

“If this is a coincidence, then the fraud techniques in ‘All-In’, I’ve found the prototype in reality, and the timing matches up, now let’s get in touch with the victims.”

“…”

The blogger spoke with righteous indignation, emitting an aura of justice.

Lin Chuan glanced at the blogger’s name: Hand of Justice.

The views had already reached 570K+, with tens of thousands of likes, and the comments were mostly targeting Lin Chuan, thus rapidly increasing his influence on the Kwai Dou platform.

Lin Chuan smiled, “So he’s the one slandering me.”

“Yes, he’s fabricating things out of thin air, it’s too much!” Little Landlady said with vexation color in her pretty face, quite angered, “Chairman, does he have a grudge against you?”

Lin Chuan shook his head, laughing, “What enemies could a web novel writer have?”

Little Landlady Zhang Xinxin frowned slightly, clenched her little fists, and huffed, “Then who gave him the courage to slander my Chairman?”

“Just about to investigate,” Lin Chuan said with a smile.

Lin Chuan thought to himself that he hadn’t offended any fan communities since he started his career.

In the web novel circle, the last time he competed with others during the same period was during ‘Old Zhang’, when he had seized the top spot in the quarrel between The Two Heroes, Handon and Hongmei.

This time.

It just so happened to be another ‘competition on the same stage’ with Handon, but his ‘All-In’ had already been taken down and not yet been re-uploaded, and at this moment Handon had reached the top spot and should be happy.

Surely he wouldn’t hire a cyber army to slander me after reaching the top?

Unlikely!

As for Ming’s fans… some of them still believe I’m a plagiarist, so after Ming got arrested, it’s possible they would stir up trouble.

But that shouldn’t be enough to trend on social media.

Yet now, I not only have trending searches hanging there but also two of them, which is quite abnormal.

This cyber army is strong, not like the usual casual fans, but more like professional trolls.

Professional trolls work for money, operating like a production line, taking instructions from their paymaster to throw mud.

At this moment.

Two targets popped into Lin Chuan’s mind: the foreign hacker organization AW and the Myanmar area Factory Area which Sister Mei belonged to.

The latter was more likely.

With that thought, Lin Chuan immediately began the investigation.

Starting with the blogger ‘Hand of Justice’.

For a top hacker, finding out who a professional troll is working for is a piece of cake.

Just trace their recent contact records, follow the vine to find the melon, step by step investigation.

The only possibly tricky part was that the factories usually use external servers, or rent servers to fake IP addresses to communicate with the world, including carrying out fraudulent activities, all using forged IP addresses.

Therefore, Lin Chuan needed a bit more time to find the real IP address.

Hmm, an extra ten minutes.

Lin Chuan turned on the computer and stretched his fingers.

Then, he placed them on the keyboard, starting to play like a pianist.

Based on ‘Hand of Justice’s video, locate his IP address, and then trace the IPs that had been in contact with him recently…

Little Landlady put away the tablet and sat down next to Lin Chuan.

She rested her chin in her hands and intently watched focused Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan was tall and upright, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, his face bathed in the light from the screen shone subtly, exuding a calm confidence.

His eyes were fixed on the lines of code, his long eyelashes fluttering occasionally as he blinked.

Little Landlady glanced at Lin Chuan’s lips, which had become a bit dry.

So, she immediately went to pour a cup of water for Lin Chuan, quietly placing it within easy reach, then resumed watching Lin Chuan with her cheek in her palm.

Half an hour later.

Lin Chuan picked up the cup of water Zhang Xinxin had poured for him and took a sip.

Little Landlady blinked, asking curiously, “Chairman, how’s it going?”

“Got it.”

Lin Chuan looked at Little Landlady and smiled.

“You found something out?” Little Landlady Zhang Xinxin asked a bit surprised.
