What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Old Tang could only wait on his side; at the very least, he could only wait for now. If there was a deviation from his plan, all he could do was go through the trial supervision procedures after the case concluded.

But by that time, it would be very difficult, so he was still hoping to resolve it directly this time!

Meanwhile, at Old Tang's side, Wang Qingqing asked with a bit of confusion, "Brother Tang, didn't you say last time... to try not to use public opinion tactics? How come you're online this time..."

The girl couldn't quite make sense of it.

Old Tang responded with a chuckle, "What I'm doing appears to be public opinion, but it's actually not, you don't really think that my one article could influence the police's investigation, do you?"

"That's The Capital we're talking about. No matter how much of an internet celebrity I may be, it's impossible to have that kind of influence. Qingqing, I won't give you a direct answer to this question. Go back and think about it slowly."

Think about it slowly? Wang Qingqing was dumbfounded. There was an answer, yet she was told to think about it slowly... How was she supposed to figure it out?

After finishing his statement, Old Tang picked up his phone and dialed Du Junfeng's number.

"Hello, Mr. Du, your funds haven't been executed yet, right? No worries, it will be in place soon. Wait for the news; it should be very quick."

Signing the mediation agreement was one thing, but the company's continued delays in execution were definitely unacceptable.

In The Capital, within the Lan Yu Information Consulting Services Co., Ltd., the general manager Cheng Wancai looked at the message released by the police online, and then at Tang Fangjing's article, feeling particularly uneasy.

Because he was the one who had previously signed the contract with the Xiatian advertising agency!

He was a professional public relations person, not just some random fall guy.

The reason for choosing them was because they had many previous collaborations with the Xiatian Company without any issues.

The boss of Xiatian often boasted that there was nothing to fear from an investigation since everything they did was legal and aboveboard.

Yet now they were being investigated, and it was a thorough one at that.

Although the contracts signed between the two parties were normal advertising agency contracts, Tang Fangjing's case this time was truly special.

Because it was a direct attack on Tang Fangjing himself, and the noise it generated was too loud...

Those bastards, I told them back then, it's Tang Fangjing we're dealing with, don't go too big. We can't really take him down; after all, it's Tang Fangjing.

Everyone works in public relations to make money. The client has demands, so we meet them. As for how far we go, that's a different discussion.

But why did you go all in this time? The public relations fee isn't much; are you playing with your life? Do you think you're Tang Fangjing?

It's like they're freaking out, making such a big fuss!

The folks from Meitian said it's a job well done, the Jingzhou Lawyers Association has even officially launched an investigation, but the problem now is not about making money; it's about the possibility of going to jail...

In The Capital's detention center, the actual controller of Xiatian Company, who was arrested, sat on the chair of regret, facing the police's questions with anger on his face!

"I'll say it again, we really didn't invest much, just hired a few people to report Tang Fangjing using their real names. By logic, it shouldn't have caused such a scene!"

Indeed, the folks at Xiatian Company were themselves baffled; the uproar was too big. Overnight, the whole internet was criticizing Tang Fangjing, believing that his license should be revoked.

This was obviously not something their company alone could achieve; definitely, there were other sons of bitches involved.

So, as soon as they noticed something was wrong, the company quickly stopped their actions, but it was too late. The Jingzhou Lawyers Association, which had been playing dead about these reports, suddenly announced they would proceed with the case.

Xiatian Company felt like they were screwed...

The officer in charge of the interrogation made a great effort to keep his face straight. No, we are trained professionals, no matter how funny it gets, we can't laugh, absolutely must not laugh!

"So, you're confirming it was Lan Yu Information Consulting Services Co., Ltd. who instructed you to do this, right?"

"Yes, them. We have a long-term cooperation with their company; basically, any negative public sentiment, we would help manage."

Of course, to pacify negative public sentiment, cyber army companies only handle one aspect, such as brushing comments, and fabricating personal stories in the first person in the comments section.

So many people commenting on negative publicity involving big companies may encounter some oddly behaving individuals—don't worry about them; they're mostly paid commenters.

As for deleting negative reviews and pulling hot search topics, that's on a different level. Otherwise, you think a PR director could end up in jail...

Public relations have to be combined; simply pulling a hot search isn't very meaningful, but mix in lots of true and false information, and the waters get muddied.

Anyway, the investigation progressed very quickly over at the Dong District branch, and the boss, after being taken in, initially tried to resist. But once seated on the chair of regret and presented with various evidence by the police, he could no longer hold out.

Before looking into their company, the authorities had already acquired information on several cyber army workshops, which had Xiatian Company as their client.

This was not something you could deny and get away with.

Thus, Xiatian Company implicated Lan Yu Company, and after investigating phone communications and financial transactions, the Dong District branch decided to issue a summons! Experience new tales on My Virtual Library Empire

Tang Fangjing's article remained hanging online. Although its popularity was constantly declining, what the article said actually made sense; the incident did indeed lead to a serious disturbance of public order. So, no matter who was involved, an investigation was warranted!
