HIS GENIUS WIFE IS A SUPERSTAR

C316 - Press Conference

Chapter 316 - Press Conference

The next morning, the tabloid publisher’s illegal activities hit the news. It originated from an online exposé released by an anonymous source. Many of the netizens speculated that perhaps it was the hacker KeymonSTER who did it, but the veteran hackers disagreed.

The thorough, organized and detailed style was very similar to how Drakon usually released exposés, but the impression it evoked to them felt slightly different. It wasn’t destructive enough. The hackers concluded that it must not be Drakon.

This hacker was too cautious with all the blacking out of names. Drakon usually didn’t care for how many people his exposés affected. Besides, they thought that for a fast-rising hacking superstar like Drakon, he would never do something anonymously. Claiming responsibility of every hacking feat was a must-do to increase one’s reputation and prestige.

As for the blacked-out names, the general public and the media were having a field day identifying all of them. It became a fun guessing game.

The celebrities involved were horrified, especially the ones who were blackmailed and already paid the tabloid huge amounts of hush money to not release the scandalous stories about them.

For the celebrities who couldn’t pay or refused to do so, they surfaced once again to use this is an opportunity to finally clear up their names. Many of them suffered tremendous damage to their reputations, while some of them had to prematurely end their careers as a result of the stories released by the tabloid about them.

Not only the celebrities and their families were enraged but also their fans. As a result, many of them stepped forward to officially sue the tabloid. In the next few days, the tabloid was sued for a number of crimes such as libel, extortion, corruption, trespassing and invasion of privacy.

The police was very quick in responding to all of these lawsuits. They quickly apprehended the key people from the tabloid. It seemed that the Police Chief personally involved himself in the investigations of these cases. He eventually revealed that he held a more detailed version of the exposé containing names that weren’t blacked out.

While the press was busy gathering more information about these cases, they were suddenly invited for a press conference. The heir of Long Industries, Long Hui, wanted to make an announcement.

Only a few representatives from the media attended. Although the Longs were included in the list of the country’s most prominent families, their importance wasn’t very significant compared to the likes of the Jins, the Lus, and most especially the Fengs whose influence went beyond wealth.

Not many people were interested in hearing announcements from them. They thought that Long Hui would just probably announce some new business acquisitions, or perhaps an engagement or even a marriage.
