759: Chapter 759: Coercion!

Audacity Unmatched!

759: Chapter 759: Coercion!

Audacity Unmatched!

Uncontrollable rage!

Old Zheng, always gentle and refined, was truly enraged this time, completely losing his temper.

The virus developed by the Yincheng Muto Conglomerate, intended for profiteering after its spread, was infuriating!

And the fact that Muto Sami, fully aware of the virus’s ease of mutation and difficulty in treatment, still maliciously spread it, was even more enraging!

Even through the screen, Wu Jie could feel Old Zheng’s anger.

Had he been able to travel to Yincheng, he would have surely flayed Muto Sami, pulled out her tendons, fried her in boiling oil…

Wu Jie could understand this furious sentiment.

After all.

Old Zheng had it tough.

Rising early and retiring late, always on alert.

Old Zheng, in his forties, looked like a man over sixty, his head full of silver hair, his face etched with the marks of hardship.

For the country, for the people, he truly exhausted himself to the point of death.

Anyone who dares to harm the nation and the people is Old Zheng’s sworn enemy.

Some say.

“When you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.”

“Fight with a dragon for too long, and you yourself become the dragon!”

This saying means that by constantly matching wits and courage with evil people, one can easily adopt the habits of the wicked.

It’s like soldiers on the battlefield, who, after fighting the enemy for too long, unconsciously become full of hatred, rage, and bloodlust.

Why do battle-hardened veterans easily kill prisoners and innocent civilians?

Why do they struggle to return to normal life after retirement?

Why do they take pleasure in shooting the enemy’s body, wishing to tear it to shreds?

Humans are emotional creatures.

Too much contact with violence, and they too learn to be violent.

Just like Old Zheng.

Because of his job, he had to match wits against various criminals.

So, he naturally had quite the temper.

And with Muto Sami causing such havoc and posing such a great threat, how could he possibly hold back?

AIDS is an incurable disease, with infection leading to certain death.

But at least it doesn’t spread through air and saliva; dining together, hugging, or chatting won’t pass it on.

However, the Sakuragi Hana virus was already vicious, and damned it, it had combined with AIDS to mutate.

Now we’re screwed!

The new mutated virus…

how do we prevent it?

How do we treat it?

So…

On the phone, Old Zheng revealed several pieces of information in his agitated state.

First, all countries had urgently halted all flights and ships to and from Yincheng, and many strict control policies would soon be released.

Secondly, Yincheng had entered a state of emergency, and the Star Federation had intervened to help control the situation and stabilize social order.

Anyone who dared to flee Yincheng in a private plane or ship would be killed without question.

Finally, Yincheng provided information on the new mutation of the virus as quickly as possible, and countries immediately focused all their efforts on research to develop a new cure as quickly as possible.

A race against time indeed!

Who the hell knows when the new mutated virus will spread all over the world?

If we don’t quickly develop a new cure, once the virus starts to spread…

It will be catastrophic, wiping out large numbers at a time, leading humanity step by step towards extinction.

The most important thing is…

When the virus first broke out, countries used various methods, and since the cure was still effective then, allowing infected patients to recover quickly, they managed to suppress public panic and maintain social peace.

And now a more powerful and terrifying virus has arrived, one that is untreatable.

Once it spreads, it’s unpredictable how much chaos it will cause.

So…

At the end of the phone call, Old Zheng conveyed the intentions of several major nations’ leaders—strict control of the internet!

If countries use force to intervene with news media and order social networking sites not to spread any news, it will have the opposite effect and indirectly cause the public to be suspicious.

Attempts to cover up only raise more suspicions, making people feel that something is not simple.

Therefore, since Wu Jie is capable of creating a perfectly secure and invulnerable private network,

Could he develop a highly intelligent software to monitor all kinds of information on the internet?

To quietly filter out all information related to the Sakuragi Hana virus from massive amounts of videos, audios, images, and texts.

Nowadays, people rely too much on the internet to spread news.

The leaders of several big nations believe that as long as Wu Jie takes tight control of the internet and stops the spread of related news, ordinary people will definitely not know what happened.

News workers, portal websites, social media apps, and others would also be unaware of what happened.

Every second on the internet, countless pieces of data are exchanged; losing some wouldn’t be out of the ordinary, right?

But this task…

“Old Zheng, do they think I’m some kind of deity to be commanded?

I can create a text filtering system, collect some keywords, phrases, and such to precisely filter out and snatch data packets, but videos, audios, and images, how the hell am I supposed to recognize them?”

“Teach me, which images can be identified as related to the Sakuragi Hana virus?

Is it the text in the picture, or the pitiful state of the patients?”

“Audio identification is even more difficult, with different languages, accents, vernaculars, how am I to identify whether they’re talking about the Sakuragi Hana virus?”

“As for video recognition, that’s even more impossible.

A video carries too much information, with pictures, sound, text, and images, how should I interpret it?”

“In short, give me a supercomputer with a floating-point computation speed of several quintillion operations per second, even a hundred of them, and I still couldn’t do it!

I’m not a god, no one could tackle such a technical problem without artificial intelligence!”

After a brief pause, Wu Jie added:

“Also, relay to them for me that trying to stop the public’s mouth is harder than stopping a flood!

Why try to cover up such a serious virus outbreak?”

“Discovering changes in the epidemic and proactively reporting it, actively collaborating in scientific research to combat it, gives people the confidence to defeat the virus!”

“That’s obviously much easier than deceiving them!

What’s with the strict control of the internet?

Instead of wasting time on this, they might as well focus on researching the virus!”

Old Zheng chuckled: “Actually, what you’re saying is also what I’m thinking.

Their demands are too high, they really treat you like a deity!”

“Alright, I’ll pass on the message for you, but you have to be careful yourself.

Don’t squeeze into crowds.

If you catch the new mutant virus, it’s not just a personal safety issue, but a significant loss for the country!”

Wu Jie grunted twice in acknowledgement, and then Zheng hung up the phone.

Tang Xiao’s lips curved in a slight smile as she laughed softly, “Zheng really cares about you a lot, treating you like a national treasure, afraid you might get into any trouble.”

Wu Jie snorted, “They just want me to work for free!

Building them a special network, optimizing it, setting up defenses—all without paying me a dime.

You heard it just now; they even have the nerve to make such ridiculous requests!”

Tang Xiao consoled him, “It’s the fear of the famous that pigs grow fat.

Who made your technical skills in networking so strong?

Everyone mistakenly believes that you can do anything, which leads to such unreasonable demands!”

While they talked, they had arrived at the group headquarters.

The two took the elevator up, and Wu Jie got off the elevator ahead of her.

It had been a long time since he’d come to the office, and he had no idea if there were any changes in the Supervisory Garden.

But thankfully!

His reputation still held strong!

As soon as he entered the Supervisory Garden, his colleagues all stood up to greet him.

But Wu Jie could see the surprise in their eyes; clearly, they hadn’t expected him to suddenly show up for work.

And this work time…

really early!

Just ten minutes until the end of the day!

He thought about how he used to cram into buses and subways, fearing he’d be late to a nine-to-five job.

What about Wu Jie?

He used to be just a junior staff member too, but now, as the Director of the Supervisory Garden, he wasn’t acting properly in his role, going off to start various businesses and achieving success after success.

What does underdog counterattack mean?

This is a living example!

So…

as Wu Jie strolled along the way, it was inevitable that his colleagues looked on with envy and jealousy.

When he reached the Deputy Director’s office door, he saw Yu Lianping staring intently at the computer screen, with furrowed brows.

Bang bang!

Wu Jie knocked on the door, and Yu Lianping turned her head.

Her eyes lit up instantly, and she stood up at once.

“Jie…

oh no, Mr.

Wu, hello!”

After bowing in greeting, Yu Lianping hurried out, “Please have a seat, Mr.

Wu.

I’ll get you some water!”

“No need!”

Wu Jie looked at the monitor on the desk, “What are you looking at so intently?

Your eyeballs are about to pop out!”

“I’m looking at the group’s employee stock ownership situation.

The stock price of the group has been rising like crazy lately, and I feel something’s not right!”

Yu Lianping quickly brought over a tablet and showed Wu Jie the stock trend chart.

“Look, our group’s stock price has hit the daily limit thirteen times in a row!”

“From less than 160 yuan per share, it has skyrocketed to 550 yuan.

It’s truly frightening!”

“If someone had held ten thousand shares before the crazy rises, by now, they would have made 3.9 million yuan!”

“That’s just ten thousand shares.

What about a million, ten million shares?”

“As someone like President Tang, who is a major shareholder, her net worth has increased by tens of billions now!”

Wu Jie frowned slightly.

By law, employees of a publicly traded company can buy and sell their own company’s stocks, but they must announce it in advance to give the public the right to know.

After all, employees are insiders of the company, inevitably aware of many insider details.

For example, if the company has a major invention, asset restructuring, operational losses, and so on, the employees will certainly know before the public.

Using the asymmetry of information, employees trading their own company’s stocks is basically ‘a sure win’.

It’s a pity…

Out of a desire to make money, there was no announcement, and employees let their relatives and friends trade the stocks for them, in secret.

Such underhanded insider trading, colluding from within and without, is extremely difficult to prevent.

Take Tanglong Industrial Group for instance.

If employees knew that the group became a major shareholder of Tianyuan Green Energy Auto without spending a penny,

And that Tang’s Chemical Industry had received the production license for the graphene composite battery, whose performance was outstanding and likely to make electric vehicles highly successful…

When the public investors were still unaware of these positive developments, employees would encourage their relatives and friends to sweep up stocks frenziedly, hoarding a significant amount.

Once these positive news items were announced, the group would inevitably be seen favorably, and investors would surge in, leading to a continual rise in stock price.

After that, they would start to offload the stocks they had hoarded earlier.

This would result in massive profits!

Just like what Yu Lianping had said, what did thirteen limit-ups mean?

Almost a fourfold increase.

If someone had hoarded ten thousand shares, they would have now made more than three million yuan.

But who would dare to indulge in insider trading and only hoard ten thousand shares?

They would definitely hoard millions, even tens of millions.

In this way, someone could make a fortune of over a hundred million in just half a month’s time.

This is literally like robbery!

So…

Wu Jie harrumphed heavily.

“This market trend is definitely strange.

What have you found out so far?”

Yu Lianping replied anxiously, “Retail investors couldn’t possibly cause such a sustained price surge.

Even the investment department of the group, acting as market makers, hasn’t made a move.

I suspect that some employees with stock holdings are colluding with brokerages, working together to push up the stock price for huge profits!”

“But I’ve checked the employee stock ownership chart and found that most people haven’t significantly changed the amount they hold.

However, this doesn’t rule out the possibility that there has been insider trading.”

Wu Jie nodded slightly, “Then you should get in touch with Yu Hui, let him provide you with intelligence.

You must investigate thoroughly, and show no mercy!”

Then Wu Jie asked about the recent work in the Supervisory Garden.

As the head of the department, he couldn’t neglect everything entirely.

Soon, Yu Hui also arrived to report on the work, focusing on the Sakuragi Hana virus incident.

A new virus mutation had appeared in Yincheng, and the world was about to face an even more serious biochemical crisis.

As the head of intelligence for the group, Yu Hui knew about this, and Wu Jie wasn’t surprised.

In comparison, Wu Jie was more interested in the situation with the Tianyuan Benevolent Charity and the Auxiliary Business Association.

Yu Lianping responded, receiving an anonymous tip-off letter claiming that in some areas, charity projects had turned into fraudulent schemes.

Daring to embezzle even orphanage donations—this is truly audacious to the extreme!

After a hurried lunch, Wu Jie took a team to patrol and see who was so depraved…
