Provoking Public Fury!

1001: Chapter 971: Beast in Human Clothing!

Provoking Public Fury!

Ferocious and overbearing?

Upon hearing such adjectives, many people automatically conjured up numerous highly indecent images.

At this moment,

Elder Wei was silent.

His sharp eyes narrowed into a slit.

The strong lines of his face etched with wrinkles and creases aplenty.

With hands clasped behind his back and his head slightly raised, his figure remained motionless.

He was unusually calm, neither roaring in fury nor displaying panic and unease.

He was very quiet.

So quiet that the people nearby felt a chilling dread, as if standing next to a millennia-old statue of ice, exuding a murderous aura.

Wu Jie, that bastard, was courting death!

And a massive one at that!

How could he broadcast such a video?

Even going so far as to gather everyone, sated with food and drink, to collectively enjoy it!

With video as evidence, why not hand it directly over to the relevant authorities for investigation?

Why summon everyone together and publicly play it?

Did he intend to deliberately humiliate these corrupt and lawless individuals?

Mocking them as distinguished in public but filthy behind closed doors, hypocritical and lawless corrupt officials?

Moreover, he craftily chose the venue—a place both sacred and solemn, very special indeed.

This was not merely a slap in the face, it was a great irony, the ultimate mockery.

Therefore,

At this moment,

The entire banquet hall fell silent.

No one whispered or gossiped.

No more discussions or incessant chatting.

Wu Jie’s words earlier had made it quite clear.

Today, gathering so many people here, within a highly secure and confidential setting, the purpose was to “exchange and learn” together, to appreciate each piece of evidence exposing various illegal crimes.

So, everyone was involved, no one could escape their involvement; thus, no one could mock another.

For all they knew, the next ‘highlighted’ protagonist could be themselves.

After all, they were the most aware of their own unlawful deeds and indulgences.

Watching the images and listening to the sounds…

No one spoke.

As the ‘male protagonist’, Elder Wei clearly wasn’t enjoying his own brave actions, nor was it likely he was reminiscing about how happy he had been at the time.

He was pondering where this segment of video had been secretly filmed, who had plotted against him and silently recorded these videos, and why they had only been sent to Wu Jie recently…

After all, when this incident occurred, Wu Jie was still far in Tianyuan, a mere penniless nobody who hadn’t even graduated from college, how could he have had the capacity to collect such incriminating material about everyone?

Of course.

What he thought more about was…

What exactly did Wu Jie intend by going to such great lengths?

Was it just to humiliate and mock everyone?

As is well known, apart from being the boss of Tanglong Industrial Group, Wu Jie also held another role, heading cybersecurity.

Whether everyone was corrupt or had disordered conduct, embezzled and accepted bribes, it wasn’t his place to manage!

Really strange!

So…

What did Wu Jie want to do?

Wasn’t this guy known as the King of Tricksters?

He must have ulterior motives, perhaps seeking money or something else!

Using blackmail with this compromising material on one or two people would be too inefficient and slow, so was this why he organized a “group deal”?

Although harboring many doubts and a furious rage,

No one voiced out, and no one was impulsive enough to resort to violence.

After all, Wu Jie had once left Kong Heng, the beloved grandson of Kong Hailin who was also the all-army martial arts champion, with devastating fractures.

This not only proved that Wu Jie was daring but it also demonstrated his formidable strength.

Given these people, all in their forties or fifties, holding high positions and being accustomed to luxury, how could any of them possibly be a match for Wu Jie?

If it really came to a fight, Wu Jie could likely knock them all down by himself.

However…

The ‘male protagonist’ Elder Wei remained silent, impassively mute.

This, however, took Wu Jie by surprise.

What did it mean?

Not an outburst of furious scolding?

Not a burst of raging tirade?

Just staring at the large screen with a scowl, what did it mean?

Admiring his past dominance and reminiscing about the ultimate pleasure of those times?

If he continued to remain silent, then what?

Should the video just keep playing?

Damn it!

The video still had over half an hour left!

They surely couldn’t let everyone just watch it ongoing?

So Wu Jie immediately switched to an even more explosive one.

At this, another bigwig couldn’t sit still.

Under the gaze of all, this was unbearably shame-inducing and infuriating.

Compared to that,

Those self-righteous people, who always said one thing and did another, being two-faced.

Seeing their videos of accepting bribes and committing crimes being exposed, their expressions were incredibly varied.

It seemed as if they were going mad, or about to erupt in wrathful violence.

That mix of entanglement, depression, anger, regret…

An array of emotions intertwined, ultimately presenting a grotesquely twisted visage.

Before the series of videos had even finished, the atmosphere in the banquet hall had turned starkly solemn.

If looks could kill, Wu Jie would probably be reduced to nothing by now.

Some indeed wanted to rush up and give Wu Jie a severe beating, but only dared to seethe in anger, their faces flushed red.

Others sat with grim expressions, silent, puffing away at their cigarettes in frustration.

There were also those who stood silently, like meditating monks, turned into statues, lost in their thoughts.

The atmosphere grew increasingly tense.

And the unseemly or shockingly vulgar videos continued to play.

Occasionally, there were multimedia slideshows, displaying a series of high-definition photos.

There are pictures, videos, and the truth.

No one can deny it anymore, still crying innocence at this point is just deceiving themselves.

More than twenty people, each made a public appearance, leaving everyone speechless, while Wu Jie still enthusiastically commented until the last video ended.

“…Alright, that’s about it, we’ve been fast-forwarding through most of the videos, just watching a bit here and there!”

“All of you hold positions of high authority and handle numerous affairs daily, usually too busy with work and life to have time to appreciate!”

“So, we just took a rough, casual look, but there are actually many more rich and exciting contents worth thoroughly enjoying!”

“If everyone wants to enhance mutual understanding, or wants more private exchanges and learning, feel free to ask me for copies, free of charge!”

As soon as Wu Jie finished speaking, whoosh, a bottle of Moutai was thrown at him.

Whoosh!

The bottle of Moutai flew in an arc, aiming to hit Wu Jie squarely.

However…

Wu Jie agilely dodged, and the bottle missed, smashing on the stage with a crash.

“Who was that?

Wanting to offer me a drink, was there really a need to throw the bottle so forcefully?

And… it’s an empty bottle too!”

Director Chen roared furiously,

“I really ought to smash you to death, you little bastard!!”

“What are you trying to do?

Gathering us all to watch videos, do you find it amusing?”

“What do you really want, can’t you just say it outright, why must you be so sneaky and vile?”

Wu Jie laughed,

“What do I want?

Sorry, but what I’m interested in isn’t something you can give me directly!”

“But if you’re talking about being sneaky and vile…

I don’t agree with that, at best I’m just a petty person, but what about you?”

“You hold high positions and power, presumably with great responsibilities, willing to toil thanklessly, but in reality?”

“You disregard the laws of the country and betray the public’s trust, aren’t you even worse than a petty person like me?”

With a cold sweep of his gaze and a smile on his lips, Wu Jie left everyone speechless.

“What’s the matter?

Not willing to speak anymore?

Why not ask me where these tens of GBs of dirt on you came from?”

“Why not question me about what exactly I want to do?

What do you need to do for me to let you off?”

“It’s strange indeed!

Aren’t you usually quite eloquent?

Why are you all silent now?”

“Think about your sordid deeds in private, don’t you feel ashamed?

Why still flaunt your official authority now?”

…

Each word, each sentence, struck deep.

If it weren’t for the fact that fiercely criticizing these people could quickly earn lots of energy points, Wu Jie would not bother wasting words with them, nor would he want to look at their vile materials.

Of course.

All the hard work and effort were worth it.

This meal was not hosted in vain, nor was this video showcase event a waste.

Energy points came in waves.

Fury surged, and hatred abounded.

Wu Jie truly hoped that this spectacle would last a bit longer, that these big tigers’ hatred would not cease.

He knew that gathering so many bigwigs here for a meal definitely couldn’t be kept secret.

Zheng would surely find out soon.

To avoid him affecting his performance and not to disturb his fierce criticism and harsh denouncing of these scumbags, Wu Jie turned off his phone.

He even instructed the waitstaff, saying that a very important matter was being discussed in the banquet hall, and without his permission, nobody else was to intrude.

Even so, Wu Jie knew that this couldn’t “hold up” for long.

Just as suspected.

The commotion had lasted only over half an hour, and Wu Jie had just wildly earned hundreds of millions of energy points when Zheng arrived.

Obviously, the waitstaff could not stop Zheng.

He pushed the door open, saw the many bigwigs looking displeased, and felt the chilling murderous aura in the hall.

Then he saw the relentlessly inappropriate video on the projector screen…

He understood everything.

But, he was too late.

Clearly, Wu Jie, that scoundrel, had already ‘shared’ the incriminating materials he got his hands on with all the bigwigs.

He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

Zheng looked at Wu Jie with mournful eyes, increasingly unable to understand this simple-minded youth.

Is it really ‘the more ignorant, the happier’?

Why does he always feel that Wu Jie’s thought processes are not like a normal person’s?

Why would Wu Jie do something as bizarre as this?

He had the incriminating materials of these bigwigs, yet he didn’t threaten or blackmail them, but instead showed it openly with the very people involved!

What the heck!

Just why?

Isn’t he afraid of inciting public anger, being lynched by these bigwigs?

Truly, the shameless are invincible!

“Zheng, you have finally arrived!!”

“Look at the capable assistant you specifically recruited, look at what he has done!”

“Zheng, do you have an issue with me?

If you are unsatisfied, why not file a report?”

“What are you here for?

To arrest someone now?

I’m afraid that would be overstepping your authority!”

“Since when can Zheng handle corruption?

Reaching your hands far and wide!

Today has really been an eye-opener for me!”

“Look what?

If you want to arrest someone, go ahead, but if there are no proper formalities, don’t blame me for not complying!”

“Zheng, have you already got special approval from Elder Tan?

If not, you surely don’t have the right to take me away!”

…

Amid the various opinions, Zheng hadn’t yet spoken when Wu Jie on the stage said coldly with a laugh,

“Zheng, you arrived late, our banquet is already over!”

Zheng gave a forced smile and signaled to an assistant.

The assistant went to unplug the sound system, Zheng approached Wu Jie on stage, whispering,

“What are you… trying to do?

Do you know such reckless actions could be deadly?”

Wu Jie laughed, “What reckless actions?

I’m just organizing everyone for a study session, didn’t you see how seriously everyone is taking it?”

Zheng turned his head to glance at the crowd, his face stern as he spoke harshly,

“Do you really have to make everyone this uncomfortable?

Even if they are guilty, it’s not our place to punish them!”

Wu Jie raised his eyebrows,

“Zheng, what are you implying?

Where have I punished anyone?”

“If you want to accuse me of protecting them, then fine, arrest me!”
