CHAPTER 78: CHAPTER 0078: HACKER IN ACTION_1

Diao Gaoming sat in the general manager’s chair at the Diao Clan Group headquarters and burst into a triumphant, arrogant laugh. "Hahaha... Liu Family, you have some nerve trying to annul the marriage! Did you think my Diao Clan was easy to bully? This time, you’ll witness the formidable strength of our Diao Clan. You will obediently deliver Liu Ruolan to our doorstep, and you will obediently hand over both companies to us..."

He savored his victory for a long time. Just as he was about to call the disciplinary committee and have them take Liu Qian in for investigation, the computer screen in front of him suddenly lit up.

A rabbit wearing a golden crown appeared on the screen, laughing eerily. "I am the Rabbit King of the Virtual World. I right the wrongs of humanity and tread where paths are unjust. This time, I’m here to address the Diao Clan’s ugly habit of bullying the weak and seizing their assets..."

Diao Gaoming was dumbstruck, staring intently at the screen as his expression changed drastically.

His computer was no simple machine; it had the strongest firewall, solid as Metal, and was not something an ordinary hacker could successfully breach. But the current situation proved that a very powerful hacker had infiltrated his computer. Powerful hackers were no small matter to provoke.

He quickly regained his composure and yanked out the network cable. But to his astonishment, it was useless.

The Rabbit King looked at him with a mocking gaze and continued, "Next, please listen to some recordings and view some interesting footage."

Then, a clear voice began to play. It was the conversation between Elder Master Liu and Elder Diao, completely exposing Elder Diao’s arrogant and condescending demeanor. Of course, it wasn’t just dialogue; it was accompanied by partial video footage.

The existence of this material was thanks to Zhang Bin, who had secretly instructed Tutu to monitor Elder Master Liu at the Liu Family residence to see if he had successfully annulled the marriage. Now, it was proving to be useful. The footage was, of course, captured by the Diao Clan’s own cameras, as they were fond of installing them in meeting rooms to record secret transactions and intimidate people.

"How is this possible?"

Diao Gaoming’s face turned deathly pale in an instant, and large beads of sweat rolled down his face. The hacker had actually invaded his family’s computer and obtained this video footage? Did that mean the hacker had obtained even more footage?

What followed was another conversation, an unmistakable phone recording between Elder Diao and Diao Gaoming, accompanied by video of them both.

"Gaoming, Elder Master Liu just came to annul the marriage. He wants to dissolve the engagement between Ruolan and Qi Wei."

"We absolutely cannot agree to that. Liu Ruolan holds twenty percent of the shares in Wenwu Pharma, a company our Diao Clan is determined to control. The Bright Eye Liquid and Rufei Slimming Pill from Wenwu Pharma will become our Diao Clan’s pillar industries in the future. Sifang Pharmaceuticals will also belong to our Diao Clan; after all, Ruolan was the one who founded it."

"So, I already rejected him. However, from the look of him, he isn’t going to let Ruolan and Qi Wei get married," Elder Diao said. "We must put some pressure on them. Find a way to have the disciplinary committee take Liu Qian away for investigation. The Liu Family will naturally submit then."

"Dad, Liu Qian is known for his integrity as an official. This move might be useless."

"Integrity? That’s for us to decide. That’s why they’ll be afraid."

"Alright, I’ll arrange it right away."

After hearing this conversation, Diao Gaoming’s complexion turned ashen, his body trembling uncontrollably. If this conversation were made public, the Diao Clan would be skinned alive, even if it didn’t destroy them completely.

What angered and frightened him even more was that the Hacker Rabbit King dropped another bombshell.

It spoke coldly, "Ladies and gentlemen, do you know why the Liu Family wants to annul the marriage? The reason is that Diao Qiwei is a beast devoid of humanity. Please enjoy the following sensational footage."

Immediately, explicit footage of Diao Qiwei’s orgies with both men and women began to play. It was enough to shatter anyone’s perception of morality.

Diao Gaoming coughed up a mouthful of blood, not because of the video’s content, but because of the Rabbit King’s opening address: "Ladies and gentlemen." Clearly, what he was seeing had already been broadcast on the internet.

Things had taken a very serious turn. Threatening the Liu Family now seemed impossible.

Once the footage finished, the Rabbit King spoke coldly again. "Ladies and gentlemen, you should now understand why Elder Master Liu went to annul the marriage. Next, please wait and see what tactics the Diao Clan will use. I will broadcast updates as they happen. Goodbye."

Then the screen went dark, as if nothing had ever happened.

But online, a complete sensation had erupted, because this video had popped up out of nowhere on every internet-connected computer in China. The technique was simply terrifying. The other reason for the uproar was the Diao Clan’s despicable and shameless tactics; they had actually planned to coerce the Liu Family in such a manner. If the Hacker Rabbit King hadn’t exposed them, the Diao Clan might have succeeded.

"Who would want to marry their granddaughter to such scum?"

"The Diao Clan, so despicable and shameless..."

"The Diao Clan, do they have any decency left..."

"I heard the Diao Clan has an extraordinary background with many officials in it. Are people from a family like that really fit to govern?"

Netizens were in a frenzy, their discussions filled with resentment. The Diao Clan was suddenly drowning in a sea of public outrage, leaving them completely flustered and embarrassed.

Elder Diao was so angry he spat blood, and Diao Gaoming wanted to cry but had no tears. They urgently discussed countermeasures and began to take action.

They adopted a two-pronged approach. First, they would hire computer experts to go to the Diao Clan’s estate to conduct a thorough investigation, searching for any trace of the intrusion. They had to find that hacker at all costs. Only by finding this hacker could the Diao Clan feel safe. Otherwise, if the hacker published more material unfavorable to them, the Diao Clan would be in a pitiful state.

Second, they began discussing how to deal with the Liu Family—whether to continue threatening them, annul the marriage contract directly, or propose some other conditions.

As for Diao Qiwei, he was immediately locked up and forbidden from going out to cause more trouble.

"Rabbit King, whatever! Just you wait. When I catch you, I’ll explode your chrysanthemum! I will exterminate your Nine Clans!" Diao Qiwei shouted crazily inside his room.

"Do you believe that I can obliterate your Diao Clan?"

A strange voice suddenly rang from his phone.

"Are you the Rabbit King?" Diao Qiwei’s eyes widened, his face a mask of shock and disbelief. The hacker could actually infiltrate his phone?

"Indeed, I am your ancestor," the Rabbit King sneered. "Dare to curse me, and I’ll make sure you have no place to be buried."

"ARGH..." Diao Qiwei was beside himself with fury. He slammed his phone onto the ground, shattering it into pieces.

However, his computer turned on by itself, and the voice sounded again. "I am omnipresent. I am the nightmare of your Diao Clan..."

"GO DIE!" Diao Qiwei’s eyes reddened with anger. He picked up a stool and began smashing wildly, reducing his computer to smithereens.

"Hahahaha..." Zhang Bin burst into laughter, a tide of satisfaction rising in his heart. For the first time, he experienced the terrifying power of Tutu. It was the perfect tool for dealing with an evil family like the Diao Clan.

RING, RING, RING...

Zhang Bin’s phone rang. It was Liu Ruolan calling.

"Xiao Bin, you were really spot on! It’s like divine providence! A miraculous hacker has appeared... Now the Diao Clan will have a tougher time dealing with the Liu Family, and maybe even my engagement can be annulled," Liu Ruolan said excitedly.

"Sister Lan, you’re destined to be mine. Even the heavens are on my side," Zhang Bin said with a wicked smile.

"Oh, cut it out! What nonsense are you talking about? We’ve only just seen a glimmer of hope. We still need the Hacker Rabbit King to continue helping, or else things will still be tough," Liu Ruolan said coquettishly.

"Don’t worry, I—think he will keep on helping," Zhang Bin said, nearly spilling the beans.
