Infamous!

“Ceasefire!!”

Military orders were as unmovable as mountains.

The command spread swiftly.

All units participating in the exercise quickly responded to the order, halting their respective offenses.

The armored torrent stopped sweeping across the battlefield!

The air combat fighters stopped bombing!

The naval warships stopped attacking!

Of course.

The Information Warfare Troops, who had been maintaining high energy and constantly implementing electromagnetic suppression and electronic interference, also paused their actions.

All of a sudden.

This grand and magnificent live-weapon exercise, with its rapid and fierce combat, came to an abrupt halt.

No more whistling missiles, no more speeding tanks, no more roaring artillery fire…

The battle that had erupted at dawn at five o’clock had continued until just before nine in the morning, then was ordered to stop.

Why?

Such a large-scale live-weapon exercise surely required a long preparation time.

How could it achieve the desired training and deterrent effects if not completed properly?

Wu Jie was full of doubts.

Just then, news came from the exercise’s directorate that the ‘enemy’ had surrendered.

They couldn’t fight anymore!

The exercise was over!

All troops immediately changed their combat plans, switching to post-war peace scenarios.

Inside the Information Warfare Center hall.

After a brief moment of astonishment, everyone quickly understood.

This live-weapon exercise must have already achieved sufficiently good results.

Continuing it any further would be meaningless.

No new orders had come yet, and it would be a waste of talent not to make use of Wu Jie’s rare visit.

So…

Elder Song simply organized an internal ‘virtual’ exercise within the Information Warfare Troops.

He had Wu Jie, a top hacker, attack them to simulate wartime cyber attacks by an enemy.

In the information age, cyber security was too important.

If the network collapsed, every industry would be greatly affected.

Not just that the common people would be unable to communicate or entertain themselves, but it would cause huge repercussions throughout society.

Planes couldn’t take off, trains couldn’t run, banks couldn’t operate, television broadcasts couldn’t air…

Especially nowadays.

Shared bicycles, mobile payments, e-commerce, the Internet of Things…

The conveniences people enjoy today are all results of rapid technological progress.

During annual holidays, billions in sales can be made in just an hour.

How many orders would that involve?

How much high-concurrency information?

How massive would the data flow be?

But imagine if there were a paralysis, a cyberattack, widespread data theft or tampering.

One can only imagine the disaster that would ensue.

Take, for example, the countless women who splurge on Singles’ Day—if hackers emptied their wallets, made their bountiful purchases disappear, or messed up their shopping information…

It’s not hard to imagine the horrifying spectacle that would unfold if women went mad.

Therefore.

The more the network brings convenience to people, the more its security must be emphasized.

Anyway, the live-weapon exercise had already been put on hold.

Maybe there was contact between top officials, or perhaps other variables had emerged, even unexpected miracles could happen…

But for Wu Jie, none of that mattered; there was no need to worry and fuss over it.

To be a sparring partner and improve the Information Warfare Troops’ combat capabilities was a worthy cause for both the country and its citizens.

And this battle turned out to be fierce and exciting.

Wu Jie held nothing back, displaying his full range of cyber-technical abilities.

The Information Warfare Troops also put up their best defense and counterattack every possible way.

In the virtual world of the internet, Wu Jie took on hundreds alone without falling behind in the slightest.

And the intense cyberwarfare, a battle of hacking and defense, was consuming enough to make one forget to sleep or eat.

…

The next day.

After fighting continuously for a full day and night, Wu Jie was still tireless.

And the Information Warfare Troops were still spirited, both sides fought like passionate youths in an internet cafe, not knowing fatigue.

But then suddenly, new orders came, and the battle exercise abruptly ended.

At noon.

Television, radio, and online platforms went into a nationwide synchronized broadcast.

This broadcast was extraordinary, not only because many media outlets participated, but also because Elder Tan himself announced two significant matters.

The first.

The high-profile live-weapon exercise that had attracted international attention had come to a successful end.

Many domestic citizens exclaimed that one should not sleep in on weekends; waking up to find the world vastly changed.

Other international media and the uninformed public were also surprised by this lightning-fast development.

But what use was shock?

The rice was already cooked; the whole world was supportive—there was no need for surprise anymore.

The second matter.

The vicious Sakuragi Hana virus was about to be done for.

More importantly, up to now, there had been no domestic fatalities caused by the Sakuragi Hana virus.

However, the medicine was still in the trial phase and whether it would have side effects or if it could be effective in treating other diseases was still under evaluation.

But one thing was certain, with the new medicine, the Sakuragi Hana virus wouldn’t cause rapid death anymore.

Once this news was released, it was explosive.

No fatalities?

Didn’t that mean that the big star Bai Fengling wasn’t dead after all?

Then all the tens of millions of fans and netizens, along with various celebrities and notable figures, who had been mourning…

…

Many celebrities, media outlets, and internet influencers were all trying to capitalise on the trending topic and traffic.

They produced countless tear-jerking articles and videos that deeply moved people.

Especially those stars who had worked with Bai Fengling before released all manner of videos, filled with sorrowful farewells and heartfelt remembrances.

Now, this was embarrassing.

The person wasn’t even dead yet, so what were they mourning?

What were they commemorating?

It’s possible that in a few days, Bai Fengling might recover and be discharged from the hospital.

Wouldn’t that be even more embarrassing by then?

Everyone quickly deleted their posts related to mourning her.

However…

The new drug was expedited through special measures, not rigorously certified, and came with certain risks.

Countries around the world quickly announced one after another that they would spare no expense to import the medication to eliminate the virus epidemic, but given the virus was still rampant, international flights would continue to be suspended.

For a moment,

Many netizens abroad were overjoyed, celebrating that humanity wouldn’t have to face extinction, and that the detested Sakuragi Hana virus would finally be defeated.

Joy was everywhere, the atmosphere electrifying.

However…

Soon international media exposed that it might be too soon to celebrate, as the poor were still doomed to die.

The newly-developed drug was called Detox Pill.

It could cure the virus and even many other stubborn diseases.

At the Tianyuan Medical Center, it was said that even AIDS patients had been cured, with excellent health.

As for risks or side effects?

There were none at all.

All these talks were just to mask the reluctance to sell the drug at a low price.

The new drug might be good, but it was beyond the reach of the poor.

As the drug developer, Wu Jie had priced the Detox Pill at a minimum of two hundred thousand yuan per pill and even held a secret daily auction with limited quantities.

Grossly profiteering without regard for human security.

When the news broke, many international media outlets quickly picked it up and broadcast it.

…

The night had fallen.

Inside the president’s office of the corporation,

Tang Xiao stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, arms crossed, looking somberly down at the hustle and bustle of traffic below.

Suddenly,

The desk phone rang, emitting a shrill tone.

Ring-ring-ring…

Ring-ring-ring…

It kept ringing.

Tang Long, who was puffing on a stifling cigarette on the couch, saw that Tang Xiao had no intention of answering and sighed silently, getting up to answer the phone.

“Hello, Tang Long speaking…

Ah?

Dad, you…

Our phones were off, we had no choice, had to be done!

It was like a hotline…

Yeah, I know, I get it!

Definitely, we’ll be careful!”

After hanging up, Tang Long let out a light snort and chuckle.

“My son-in-law really is something else!”

“Being criticized and cursed by the whole world, he’s on track to becoming a sinner for the ages!”

Tang Long muttered to himself,

His eyes always watching Tang Xiao for her reaction.

“What sinner?

No matter how much others curse or hate him, I’ll support him just the same as I always have!”

Tang Xiao lifted her head slightly, looking towards the blood-red, setting sun.

The horizon seemed to be on fire, blazing red.

Tang Long nodded slightly and came to lean on the edge of the desk.

“I know he’s done nothing wrong, if it weren’t for him creating the Detox Pill, the virus epidemic would continue to rampage unabated, leaving us without hope, death counts climbing even higher.”

“The Detox Pill he developed is able to eliminate the virus, reigniting hope for humanity.

Instead of being praised, he’s being criticized and cursed as greedy and heartless, which of course is unfair!”

“This situation is heating up; Elder Tan knows everything Jie has done for the country and the people—that he has sacrificed his own interests for the greater good.

The uproar from the public abroad is one thing, but the domestic public’s criticism and curses are quite disheartening.”

“This incident that has shocked the world, this unprecedented reputation crisis, has clearly been pushed by many international forces behind the scenes, leveraging public power to try and force us to submit!”

Submit???

Tang Xiao snorted coldly.

“Submit to what?

Sanctions?

Boycotts?

Want us to go bankrupt and close down?

For my husband and me to be thrown in jail?

All this frenzy over a single drug?”

Tang Long gave a wry smile, “That’s just random talk from keyboard warriors, don’t take it too seriously.”

Tang Xiao clenched her fists, anger seething between her brows.

“Random talk?

We haven’t even made a statement yet, and they’re already threatening and intimidating us, frantically criticizing and cursing!”

“Well then, if they really push me, I might just break the pot by going bankrupt and closing down.

Forget the price of two hundred thousand yuan per pill, even for a billion they wouldn’t be able to buy it, let all of humanity go extinct together then!”

Tang Long advised, “Don’t get angry!

It hasn’t gotten that serious yet; they’re just pressuring us and haven’t yet started attacking and smashing our branch offices or threatening us by detaining our overseas compatriots.”

He paused for a moment, then asked curiously,

“Have you been able to contact Jie?

What does he think?”

“The situation is escalating, and our continued silence isn’t helpful.

Whether we agree or not, we should clarify our stance sooner rather than later!”

Tang Xiao shook her head.

“His phone is unreachable.

I contacted Zheng, who said he’s attending a live-ammo military exercise, so he’s definitely safe!”

“With the situation being this volatile, he must be aware of it.”

Tang Long nodded repeatedly, “That’s true, the Detox Pill was intended to benefit the country from the start.

With the current turn of events, Elder Tan should step forward!

As for the production and auction of the Detox Pill…”

“It’ll proceed as usual!”

Tang Xiao spoke in a calm tone, “The starting price of two hundred thousand yuan remains unchanged, whatever amount of Detox Pill we have, we’ll auction.

If no national pharmaceutical company bids, then we’ll stockpile it—we’re not worried about sales, even throwing them away won’t be a loss.”

“We can temporarily suspend our overseas business and projects, but domestic battery stations will continue to be built, electric cars will keep being produced, and other businesses will run as usual.

We’re operating legally and compliantly, so who dares to cause trouble?”

“Of course, if anyone feels that working for a company as profit-driven as ours is too shameful and wants to resign, they are free to do so.

I won’t hold them back, if everyone leaves it’ll just be easier to announce bankruptcy.”

“Also, aren’t there many domestic and international financial institutions speculating against our group?

Well then, I’ll gather funds and repurchase all the shares we’ve issued and listed, taking this opportunity to delist!”

…

The domineering president wasn’t merely talk.

On the other side, Wu Jie also knew that he had become infamous around the world.

Certainly not for being universally praised, but for notoriety…
