Forcibly Whitewashing!

917: Chapter 908: Distorting Right and Wrong!

Forcibly Whitewashing!

Confused!

Kong Heng seriously doubted that he was hallucinating.

The things he was seeing and hearing, none of them were real.

Tormented throughout the night, had his mind truly become disordered?

Was he fantasizing that he had been released without charges?

He shook his head violently and bit down hard on the tip of his tongue.

He found out that this was not a hallucination at all.

The reporters were still earnestly asking questions, and the cameramen were still frantically taking pictures and recording.

And the familiar-looking man with glasses, whose name he couldn’t recall, was talking excitedly.

“…It’s okay now, Brother Heng, you can go home now, we…”

Before the man finished talking, Kong Heng put both hands on his shoulders and asked urgently,

“Who exactly are you?

Where am I now?

What is going on?”

“I’m Sun Qichen!

My dad used to serve as a bodyguard for Old Mr.

Kong; we even visited your house every Chinese New Year!”

With an embarrassed smile, Sun Qichen replied cheerfully:

“But there are so many visitors during New Year that you must not remember me; it’s okay, though, I’m now a lawyer!”

“After you were kidnapped, I started doing everything in my power to find you.

Now that you have safely returned, those kidnappers should also be severely punished by the law…”

Kong Heng looked around.

The building in front of him wasn’t something like a police station; it was an office building.

Before Kong Heng could figure out what was happening, Sun Qichen turned around and stood in front of him.

He greeted the reporters with an overly warm initiative as if they were old friends.

“Everyone, please stay calm!

Don’t get too excited!”

“I am Mr.

Kong Heng’s attorney; my law firm is located in this building!”

“As you can see, my client Mr.

Kong is in very poor mental and physical condition, having suffered a kidnapping ordeal, enduring inhumane torture!”

“I would like to especially thank the authorities for rescuing my client!”

As he spoke, Sun Qichen took out a QR code.

“Come on, everyone, please follow my personal public account; you can send me private messages if you have any questions!”

“Regarding this extremely complicated case, Mr.

Kong and I will cooperate fully with the police investigation…”

Kong Heng was completely baffled.

He recognized Sun Qichen’s face but didn’t know he was a lawyer, let alone what he intended to do.

Clearly, it was he who had arranged for someone to hijack a vehicle, fleeing overseas by government plane and submarine.

So how did it turn out in this lawyer Sun Qichen’s mouth that he was the kidnapped hostage?

Could it be…

Was he trying to help him create confusion and clear his name?

Kong Heng was a smart man; of course, he knew it was best to remain silent before the truth of the matter was clear.

Therefore,

He tried to cooperate with Sun Qichen as much as possible, no longer staunchly enduring.

From the flight back to the country to the ordeal in the small dark room, he had suffered relentless non-human torture.

He was exhausted and starving,

And he didn’t even need to act; his appearance was enough to show that he really was in a dire situation.

And the journalists followed up in droves, quickly scanning the QR code to follow Sun Qichen’s public account.

This case was simply too sensational!

Not only because the kidnapping had resulted in the heroic sacrifice of two special agents, but because Kong Heng might have been ransomed for 100,000 Detox Pills, amounting to over 20 billion!

The ransom alone was unprecedented, enough to set a historical record.

Moreover, there were many suspicious points in the case.

For example, Kong Heng’s unique identity as a well-known young master of the Kong Family in Liuli City, whose grandfather Kong Hailin was powerful and formidable—how come there was no news of him lately?

The question then was, did the kidnappers not resist or engage in a shootout?

Did they obediently return to Wing Island Port by submarine?

And yet, ended up like lambs to the slaughter, extradited back to Liuli Continent to stand trial?

What intrigued people the most was that although Wu Jie and Tanglong Industrial Group did not admit to providing the 100,000 Detox Pills, in the entire world, only Wu Jie was capable of producing so many at once.

Who else could it be?

And why was it the Phen Xiang Commerce Association that first issued a bounty notice, causing a huge sensation, while the archipelago only came out afterward to clarify that they were there to save, not aiding and abetting the kidnappers?

What exactly was the relationship between the kidnappers and their Self-Defense Force?

In short.

There were too many doubts; this was simply more suspenseful, exciting, and intriguing than a spy thriller.

So, the journalists quickly followed Sun Qichen’s public account.

As for the person in question, Kong Heng, he was clearly in a concerning physical state and was unable to provide any answers.

After Sun Qichen had many journalists scan and follow his account, he excused himself and drove away with Kong Heng, saying they were heading to the hospital for inpatient examination and treatment, and to prepare an injury report to sue the kidnappers.

The journalists began to surround the police officers, as it was they who had brought Kong Heng over in their car.

Had he really committed a crime?

Could they reveal more details about the case?

The police officer’s reply was quite official: please pay attention to the daily noon press conference.

…

In the departing business van,

Kong Heng did not hesitate; seeing the fried chicken burger and cola on the small tray, he began to eat like mad.

He had been nearly starved for a day, tormented for a day, almost driven insane with hunger.

He ate and drank frenziedly; if he were to die, he would not die of starvation.

“Brother Heng, eat slowly, don’t choke!”

Sun Qichen said with a caring smile, placing a pack of cigarettes and a lighter on the small table.

Kong Heng paused slightly, but did not ask anything.

Why Sun Qichen was rescuing him, why he was so enthusiastic…

Without getting to the bottom of it, Kong Heng certainly wouldn’t speak rashly.

The one thing to avoid most was talking in depth too quickly with people one barely knew.

Treating unfamiliar people as confidants, sharing everything.

Sun Qichen didn’t say much either, waiting for Kong Heng to eat his fill.

Snap!

A cigarette after a meal was like living as an immortal.

Kong Heng leaned back in the comfortable seat, greedily savoring the cigarette.

Relishing the rare moments of relaxation and freedom.

It was like a dream.

He hadn’t expected to be locked in an interrogation room and tormented just a while ago.

Yet now he was released without charges, sitting in a luxurious business van, looking at the towering skyscrapers and the bustling streets.

What in the world was happening?

Taking a deep drag of his cigarette, Kong Heng turned his head to scrutinize Sun Qichen with a questioning look.

“Heng, you must be really curious about what exactly happened.

There’s no point in me saying more, just take a look at this and you’ll understand!”

As he spoke, Sun Qichen took out a tablet from his briefcase and handed it to Kong Heng.

Kong Heng didn’t hesitate; he immediately took it and quickly browsed through the content.

He had been suspicious from the start.

Who knew if Sun Qichen was a lure set up by the Security Bureau?

What if they had let him go on purpose, aiming to bait him in a long con?

But then again…

Even Old Mr.

Kong couldn’t escape death; what value did he himself have as bait?

His eyebrows furrowed as he read swiftly and intently.

Kong Heng quickly finished going through the material organized by Sun Qichen.

In short, someone was whitewashing his crimes in every way possible.

The case of the car crash and the killing of the special agents was spun as a kidnapping case.

The violation of international no-fly orders by the official aircraft, fleeing overseas, was said to be a hijacking by kidnappers, who forced the flight crew to do so.

Having the submarine arrive in the agreed sea area to pick him up was described as a chance meeting at sea, a humanitarian rescue.

In summary.

Someone was turning black into white, melodramatically twisting the facts.

Numerous posts were written and storms were stirred on the internet, sparking unprecedented attention from countless netizens.

Everyone knows that once something gets hyped up online and catches too much attention from netizens and the media,

It will definitely be taken seriously and the case would be handled promptly and strictly in accordance with the law.

Just like Kong Heng’s case.

After it was leaked online, a vast number of internet troops were employed to create buzz.

We live in an age where it’s easy to fake data.

As long as you’re willing to spend money, getting millions of likes on a post or billions of views on a TV series…

Damn it!

The total number of internet users in the country isn’t even eight hundred million, yet a TV show gets billions of plays; it’s really impressive.

Are all netizens idle enough to watch it two or three times a day?

Are billions of people that free?

The answer, of course, is data fabrication.

While Kong Heng was browsing, Sun Qichen explained by his side.

Nowadays, in the entertainment industry, it’s very common to inflate viewer metrics, and any show would spend tens of millions or even more on promotional and distribution fees.

What are these fees used for?

Other than organizing stars to hype and attract popularity, the main purpose is ‘buying data.’

Twenty yuan for five hundred likes, thirty yuan for ten thousand views, three hundred yuan for ten thousand followers…

By spending money, they create false impressions of vast fan followings, trending topics, high click-through rates, and viewership.

It not only makes stars more attractive to advertising sponsors but also encourages TV stations and online video platforms to spend big money on purchasing series, increasing screening times in cinemas, and drawing in more unsuspecting consumers…

Given such a perfect model, those whitewashing Kong Heng naturally spent crazy amounts of money.

They made this case hit the trending searches and dominate the screens.

They portrayed the Kong Family of Liuli City as a Military Martial Family serving the country and showcasing patriotic loyalty!

They crafted Kong Heng’s image as a loyal, upright, and sunny individual!

The whole case was twisted to show Kong Heng as innocent, suggesting that it was the kidnappers who wanted to flee and so hijacked him and the official aircraft…

In short.

After such insane whitewashing, the case became well-known to the world.

Given the universal attention and the public’s belief in Kong Heng’s innocence,

Who would dare continue to detain Kong Heng?

After all.

There was no evidence indicating that Kong Heng orchestrated any of it.

The two special agents who died heroically weren’t killed by Kong Heng, and it wasn’t him who flew the official aircraft out of the country.

“…Therefore, since there’s no evidence to prove that you killed anyone or fled the country, why wouldn’t they let you go?”

Sun Qichen’s words made Kong Heng’s eyes light up in an instant.

Yes!

None of it was done by his own hands, and there was no evidence to prove that he ordered his subordinates to act.

Just like the two heroically fallen special agents—they weren’t killed by Kong Heng.

It can entirely be said that he was abducted by bandits.

As for why they kidnapped him…

The reason was quite simple too!

Kidnapping a scion of a Military Martial Family, hoping to discourage the authorities from rashly deploying fighter jets to shoot down the official aircraft, so this excuse could also fool people.

“But the problem is, I was taken to the Security Bureau after I returned, and I was involved in a very significant case; why would they let me go?”

Finally, Kong Heng couldn’t restrain himself any longer and posed the question to Sun Qichen.

Sun Qichen secretly rejoiced and immediately replied with a smile:

“It’s simple!

With such a fuss made, all netizens believe you’re a good person, that you’re innocent.

So on what grounds can they continue to detain you?

What legitimate reason do they have?”

Kong Heng took a fierce drag of his cigarette, his eyebrows tightly furrowed.

Thinking about it, it made sense.

To rescue him, many people had created uproar online, triggering an extremely high wave of public opinion.

No matter how powerful the Security Bureau was or how domineering Wu Jie was, they wouldn’t dare commit a blatant injustice by torturing him to death publicly.

“Then do you know who is helping me create such momentum?

Stirring up such a major online public opinion and rallying so much media attention must cost a lot, right?”

However…

Sun Qichen just shook his head.

“I don’t know that; I guess like me, they knew you were in trouble and wanted to help you out of your predicament, no matter what!”

“But although you are safe and have regained your freedom now, the sacrifice of the special agents and the escape of the kidnappers can be unrelated to you, there’s still one risk!”

Kong Heng asked anxiously, “What risk?

I haven’t committed any crimes!”

Sun Qichen smiled slightly.

“Heng, we’re our own people; you can’t fool me!”

“Don’t you know there’s a crime called possession of a huge unexplainable wealth?”

“For amounts as huge as yours, the starting point is five years!”

Kong Heng’s brows tightened, his mind racing.

Apart from the enormous wealth, there was also the matter of carrying confidential documents during his escape…

Once verified, he couldn’t escape the death penalty, so he must dispose of it immediately.

But could he trust the Sun Qichen in front of him?
