843: Chapter 843: Even a Rabbit Will Bite When Cornered!

Dark clouds churned, and lightning flashed amidst thunderous roars.

Torrential rain fell from the sky as if to submerge the entire city.

After shutting the window, Wu Jie drew the curtains.

Turning around, he saw Tang Xiao still holding her laptop, deeply engrossed in her research.

“Better get some sleep; it’s already one in the morning!”

Tang Xiao glanced at Wu Jie,

“Do you really think I can sleep with the situation as it is now?

The crisis of stoppages and suspensions hasn’t been resolved, and we’ve fallen into the encirclement crisis of the three corporate giants.

Our group is literally losing millions by the minute!”

Wu Jie smiled lightly, sat on the edge of the bed, and pulled Tang Xiao beside him.

“Worrying won’t help!”

“This time it won’t end quickly until one side is utterly shaken and begs for mercy.”

Tang Xiao sighed softly and asked,

“So do you have any plan to turn the tide and quickly resolve the crisis?”

Wu Jie shook his head with a smile and closed the laptop, placing it on the bedside table.

Facing those hopeful and longing eyes, he laughed,

“I know, from the Zhuzhou SAM project bid to the astronomical success of the ‘Big God’ app, to the sudden emergence of software transformation tools…

It’s like I’m always pulling off miracles, making you think I can swiftly turn the tide even this time!”

“Right!

Aren’t you good at creating miracles?”

Tang Xiao pushed Wu Jie’s hand away, nestling against his shoulder with a deep sigh,

“To be honest, in the network and communications industry, our up-and-coming group’s number of patent technologies is far fewer than the three giants that have worked hard for many years!”

“Open hostilities may seem to harm both sides, but the one to suffer most will be us.

They can quickly make up for what they lack from each other, bypass our patented technology, refrain from using our instruments, and still produce excellent projects and products!”

“And us?

Without their patented technologies and instruments, we can hardly make any progress; our network and communication businesses will be completely paralyzed!”

“5G technology isn’t mature enough, and it’s still too early for mass adoption.

Many mobile phone manufacturers haven’t even made a 5G phone yet, so we really are in an extremely perilous situation!”

…

Wu Jie was silent, allowing Tang Xiao to pour out her worries.

Guiding a vast group of over a hundred thousand people, bearing the hopes of the entire industry.

This battle couldn’t be lost!

If they were defeated, not just the group, but the entire network information industry of Liuli Continent would suffer tremendously.

While the ideal was noble, the reality was harsh.

Despite domestic phones being top sellers.

The majority of high-tech components like chips, memory, and sensors were imports.

Many domestic phone manufacturers were essentially acting as assembly plants.

The cry of “native brands must strengthen themselves” was loud, but core technologies and components were still dependent on others.

This time.

The three giants were targeting only Liulizhou Tanglong Industrial Group, denying them the use of their patented technologies and equipment.

If, however, they restricted all enterprises in Liulizhou, then…

Proud domestic smart phones, tablets, laptops, servers…

many electronic instruments and devices would be completely unable to be produced or sold, plunging the entire industry into an abyss from which recovery would be almost impossible.

Of course, they hadn’t done that since the numerous enterprises of Liulizhou brought them tens of billions in revenue just by importing various components and paying patent fees each year.

Suppressing and bullying Liulizhou Tanglong Industrial Group was because the group was disobedient, constantly developing its own research, growing stronger, and contending with them for market share…

Being a subordinate was okay, but vying for the top spot?

Wasn’t that asking for trouble?

So, while the group was targeted, other enterprises in Liulizhou were unaffected.

Wanting to quiet things down?

Only if the group gave up its own research, its leading role in the technological changes of the 5G era…

Of course, if they handed over the formula for the Detox Pill, they would definitely be let off the hook.

But…

Tang Xiao wasn’t willing to give up!

She was hoping Wu Jie, the King of Tricksters, would have a stroke of genius, think of a great solution.

And Wu Jie…

“To be honest, making those three giants and the international forces behind them give up on us isn’t difficult!”

“Have you forgotten we still have their dirty secrets?

For self-protection, they even signed a secret agreement with us, providing substantial compensation each month.”

Tang Xiao nodded slightly, “I’m aware of that!

But their preemptive strike and initiation of hostility prove that the dirt we have on them is no longer a threat!”

Wu Jie scoffed, “Even if the dirty secrets are no longer effective, have you forgotten that I can move freely in the online world, infiltrate at will?”

“Compelling them to yield is simple: just paralyze their communication networks, destroy all data in servers of financial, transportation, insurance, government, and other related institutions…”

“In short, I can easily wreak havoc, plunge them into complete chaos; it’s just a matter of waiting a bit longer!”

Tang Xiao sneered, “Are you waiting for Elder Tan’s call?”

Wu Jie flicked Tang Xiao’s nose.

“Smart!

It’s not hard to go all out in desperation, and it’s quite easy to stir up a storm, but the problem is…

with what I’m about to do, the entire human society on Earth might plunge into turmoil and chaos!”

“The destructive power such an act could unleash would be no less than a world war!

And before stirring up a storm, shouldn’t I listen to Elder Tan’s opinion?”

Tang Xiao sighed deeply,

“Indeed!

The weak are ignored, but the strong are bound to be attacked!

As we continue to grow stronger, we’re bound to be surrounded and intercepted, subjected to all sorts of bullying and oppression.”

“Even if our group could get the three giants to stop oppressing us, those international forces would still come up with all kinds of reasons to force us into a corner between extinction and major concessions!”

…

The moment Tang Xiao finished speaking, Wu Jie’s phone rang.

He picked up the phone and saw it was a secure call, Wu Jie immediately said with a smile,

“See, I told you Elder Tan would definitely call!

Lucky I didn’t get impulsive and turn the world upside down!”

“So why hesitate?

Answer it quickly!” encouraged Tang Xiao.

Wu Jie answered the call and activated the speakerphone.

“Good evening, Elder Tan!” Wu Jie greeted with a smile.

Elder Tan snorted heavily.

“What’s good about it?

Good for nothing!

It’s been anything but peaceful lately.

We’ve just got a little joy from the Detox Pill, human society had just escaped the viral crisis, and then those green-eyed monsters couldn’t wait to start bullying and oppressing us!”

Wu Jie chuckled, “It’s expected.

We’ve achieved a little over the years, and they’ve started threatening and repressing us in all sorts of ways.

Only this time, their methods are overly fierce!”

“Who would think otherwise?

The Tanglong Industrial Group is indeed too strong.

Killing the chicken to scare the monkey couldn’t be more appropriate!” Elder Tan snorted coldly, then suddenly asked, “Knowing you, with your vengeful temperament, you must have already figured out how to get back at them, right?”

Wu Jie laughed, “How could that be?

I’m a good person!”

“If you’re a good person, prisons around the world might as well close!” Elder Tan snorted and laughed mockingly,

“Yuan Shikui made you angry, so you dared to invade Tianyuan He Ying Credit Co.’s financial system and alter the data, making the company collapse amidst a bank run!”

“The three giants failed in their bidding, forcing them to sign a secret agreement and pay a huge compensation.”

“When your wife bet on soccer and won big on the long shots, the Northern Fox Organization didn’t want to pay up, so you dared to go…”

Elder Tan didn’t finish his sentence as Tang Xiao couldn’t hold back her laughter.

And Wu Jie’s face was covered in lines of frustration as he quickly interjected,

“Ouch, Elder Tan, could you stop making fun of me, please?

I know you’re highly placed and powerful, and lots of things just can’t be kept from you, but as you know, I only trick the bad guys!”

Elder Tan hummed, “Of course, I know.

How else would you still be alive?”

After a brief pause, Elder Tan spoke in a tone heavy with implication,

“When the forest grows, the wind will subdue it!

Your group is too outstanding and conspicuous not to attract oppression.”

“And when your group faces a crisis, choosing not to complain, not to cower, not to panic, but to take the right approach using straightforward methods to proactively save yourselves, is the absolutely right decision!”

Wu Jie and Tang Xiao looked at each other, both feeling a sense of foreboding.

“Elder Tan, I just want to ask you one question.

Should I, with my fiery temperament, act out, or should I not?”

“If it wasn’t out of respect for you, I’d have turned the world upside down by now.”

With that statement,

Elder Tan fell silent.

This took Wu Jie by surprise.

Normally, he would expect Elder Tan to sternly warn him against rash actions, against throwing the world into chaos.

He would probably try to persuade him with various reasons, like prioritizing global peace and stability, and that it wasn’t the time for underhanded tactics…

But instead…

silence!

Wu Jie glanced at Tang Xiao and tentatively asked,

“What does your silence mean?

Are you agreeing with me?

If so, I might just start making moves!”

“Wait a second!”

Elder Tan took a deep breath as if he was making a difficult decision.

After a solid ten seconds, he finally asked somberly,

“People get bullied because they’re nice, horses get ridden because they’re gentle!

We’ve been too lenient, and that just makes them think we’re easy targets.”

“So…

I support you taking necessary measures, within limits, to fight back.”

Wu Jie rolled his eyes.

“Geez!

Talk about being official!

How am I supposed to know what ‘within limits’ means?”

“Like in a fight where you can barely contain your rage, who cares about limits?

If you get the chance, aren’t you going to knock the enemy down hard?”

Elder Tan immediately commanded, “What I mean is, you can fight back, but don’t let the world fall into chaos.”
