Hello, Mr. Major General
chapter-1346

Chapter 1346: In Cahoots

Mike’s post was like throwing a stone into a pot of oil that had just calmed down, causing countless drips of oil to splash out.

[ What? Am I seeing things? He actually used a proxy IP?! ]

[ That seems to make sense. In order to protect himself, he deliberately used proxy IP… ]

[ That makes sense. I also want to get a proxy IP! Let me ask, does anyone know how to get a proxy IP? ]

[ That’s right, the blogger’s current IP is Imperial XX Institute. —— Everyone knows what’s really going on! ]

[ Ah, is it really that shady? —— The Blue Planet is so scary. I want to return to Mars! ]

[ Upstairs, this world is far shadier than you think! ——Kindness limits our imagination! ]

Because of the “proxy IP, ” the trend of Weibo immediately began to reverse.

The troll army, which had been suppressed by the public audience, seized the opportunity to reappear and confuse the public in the comments while constantly attacking others as trolls.

For a moment, the Weibo was filled with chaos and mayhem. Many people who wanted to speak had no choice but to keep quiet.

At the same time, the Weibo authorities were almost driven mad by the news of the trolls.

These people were questioning how they protected the privacy of their users!

How could they reveal everyone’s IP addresses?!

Could they still chat happily?!

Weibo’s tech guys were about to lose it. They kept checking their own codes, but they couldn’t figure out where a bug had appeared and displayed everyone’s postings’ IP addresses?!

…

Mike and Cai Shengnan both breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the reversal of the tide.

Meanwhile, Luo Jialan, who was at the West Mountain Villa, had been feeling uneasy. After Cai Shengnan left, she ignored Cai Shengnan’s dissuasion and secretly went online.

When she realized that the situation was turning in her favor, she had mixed feelings. She couldn’t help but take out her phone and call Cai Shengnan, then said, “Lawyer Cai, you’re amazing!”

Cai Shengnan: ” … Did you surf the internet again?”

Luo Jialan covered her face in embarrassment. “I couldn’t help it… otherwise, I would have missed out on a good show. I wouldn’t have been able to see Lawyer Cai turn the tables so single-handedly!”

Cai Shengnan smiled reservedly. “Miss Luo, just watch. This is just the appetizer. There’s still a big meal coming up…”

After hanging up on Luo Jialan, Cai Shengnan looked at the Weibo page on her computer screen.

As usual, Gu Nianzhi was too inexperienced to fight with Cai Shengnan.

This time, she really wanted Gu Nianzhi not only to lose her reputation, but also to have the Huo family, General Ji of the military, and Speaker Long of the Parliament put pressure on her at the same time.

If they still wanted to protect Huo Shaoheng’s reputation, Gu Nianzhi would have to voluntarily withdraw from the prosecution’s team.

If Gu Nianzhi insisted on going all the way regardless of Huo Shaoheng’s reputation, then she, as his fiancée, would have to go all the way.

Wishing she could throw Gu Nianzhi into the trash can like she was flicking away the dust, Cai Shengnan flicked her fingers.

…

Staring intently at the laptop screen, Gu Nianzhi sat in her bedroom in her small suite.

Very good, the other party had come up with a decent explanation, and the situation had indeed been turned around.

This was what made things interesting. The higher you jumped, the harder you fell. Don’t blame her for not warning them.

With her eyes narrowed, Gu Nianzhi looked at the “IP” of the “Imperial Procuratorate” and smiled.

What kind of IP was so difficult to fake that it had to be the IP of the Imperial Procuratorate? She was just wondering how she could get the people from the Procuratorate to intervene!

Gu Nianzhi quickly logged into her account and took a screenshot of the Weibo post that the person had just posted. It clearly showed the IP address of the Imperial Procuratorate and was linked to the screenshot of Gu Nianzhi’s official inquiry that the person had posted earlier, then, she posted an inquiry on the Imperial Procuratorate’s official Weibo.

@ Imperial Procuratorate: Is this the inquiry that you received? I heard that you were pressured by the authorities to file a case against the orphan of a war hero for intentional murder? Aren’t you going to explain yourself? — We want the truth! No underhanded tricks!

Her inquiry was based on the Weibo post that the person had posted. Of course, her goal was to get the attention of the Imperial Procuratorate.

She had directly posted on the Imperial Procuratorate’s official Weibo, so the prosecutor, who had secretly colluded with Cai Shengnan, couldn’t cover it up.

Because the editor of the official Weibo wasn’t in the same system as the prosecutor, she had to work and perform well.

Moreover, Gu Nianzhi’s post had attracted the onlookers below the rumor-mongering Weibo to the Imperial Procuratorate’s official Weibo.

Almost instantly, the Imperial Procuratorate’s official Weibo account was filled with carnage. The group of people were still trying to figure out what was going on before they started to fight.

This was basically a daily routine on Weibo. Those who came to Weibo were either here to quarrel or to spectate. If they wanted to calm down, they had to leave Weibo to ensure their safety.

Gu Nianzhi smiled faintly as she watched.

The editor of the Imperial Procuratorate’s official Weibo account was suddenly overwhelmed by the flood of notifications, private messages, replies, and posts.

He was finally going to have an internet celebrity addiction!

He became smug too early. Before he could get excited, he realized that everyone was going in the wrong direction.

Everyone seemed to be discussing a hot topic related to the imperial procuratorate.

He took a closer look at the screenshots of everyone’s chat. There was actually an official inquiry received by the Procuratorate, and it said that they had been “pressured by the powerful to build a case.” Then he followed everyone’s @ to the page of the original blogger and took a look, the editor was instantly angered!

Wasn’t this the IP address that had already been proven to be a rumor?

Why was the Imperial Procuratorate’s IP address being used again?!

Moreover, the most important characteristic of the procuratorate was to file a case independently. By saying that they had been pressured by the authorities to file a case, was this an attempt to undermine their fundamental values or simply a way to get attention?!

The editor of the Imperial Procuratorate’s official blog quickly compiled this matter into a book and sent an urgent email to the relevant departments at the higher levels.

In recent years, the major government agencies also attached great importance to public opinion on the Internet, and their reactions were much faster than before.

Therefore, when they received the urgent email compiled by the editor of the official blog, the relevant leaders of the Imperial Procuratorate immediately held a closed-door meeting to strictly investigate the leak.

“As everyone knows, before the final judgment of the case, no information can be made public. Only the prosecution and defense can have access to these materials. Investigate who the leak is carefully. Who colluded with the defense to smear the plaintiff and the plaintiff’s lawyer!o ”

Based on the information on the Internet, they could tell at a glance that the defense was dissatisfied with the plaintiff’s lawyer, and deliberately distorting the facts by spreading rumors.

This was because the plaintiff’s lawyer, Gu Nianzhi, had sent an internal inquiry through the proper channels, and it had actually been a screenshot posted on the Internet!

This could only be done by an insider in the procuratorate.

It was also impossible for the plaintiff’s lawyer to have taken a screenshot herself, because on this inquiry, there was a file number that had been automatically assigned by the system after the Procuratorate had received the inquiry.

This number could prove that the plaintiff’s lawyer hadn’t taken a screenshot herself, but had taken a screenshot from the internal procuratorate.

Although the other party had erased many of the words on the inquiry and highlighted some of the original words, he hadn’t erased a very small number in the upper right corner of the inquiry, which was the inquiry number.

That was a blatant leak of information.

The prosecutor’s office had made a rather rigorous case this time. Previously, they had rejected the plaintiff’s lawyer’s request several times. In the end, the plaintiff’s lawyer had sent new evidence before it became the key to making a case.

And all of this had already been sent to the defendant and the defendant’s lawyer in written form.

Regarding who was right or wrong, when the court session was held, it would naturally give both parties a chance to speak.

Even though the court wasn’t in session yet, they had already made this matter known on the Internet. Were they really going to use Weibo to judge the case?

Then what did they need the police station for? What did they need the procuratorate for?! What did they need the court for?!

Doing things according to the law was because the law had its own procedures and principles, as well as its own internal logic and standards of conduct.

It wasn’t about randomly comparing things on the Internet and waiting for justice to magically do its part.

“Also, this IP address seems to be the IP address of our procuratorate. Check it immediately. Which office does it belong to? Which person’s? After the investigation is done, we will deal with it as we should. Our Procuratorate is a legal organization. We will not allow such a black sheep to tarnish our image, disrupt our order, and infringe on the rights of the people!”

Since the head of the Procuratorate gave the order, no one dared to slack off and everyone immediately began the investigation.

In the end, they quickly found out that although this IP address looked like their Procuratorate’s IP address, but after checking the server’s log records, they found that no one in their procuratorate had logged into this IP address.

In other words, the other party’s IP display was fake. They hadn’t logged into Weibo from their Procuratorate’s server.

Following that, due to a large-scale computer network search, the Procuratorate had sent people to check the computer surveillance of the various offices. In the end, they had also found a big fish.

While Cai Shengnan, Mike, and Luo Jialan were rejoicing because of the reversal of the tide online, the Imperial Procuratorate had already discovered the prosecutor who had secretly colluded with Cai Shengnan.

This was because the cause of the incident was Gu Nianzhi’s inquiry, and the first person to receive Gu Nianzhi’s inquiry was the prosecutor.

According to the computer surveillance in the prosecutor’s office, he had taken a screenshot of the email and secretly stored it on a USB flash drive.

Downloading the content from the computer at work to a USB flash drive was a violation of the relevant regulations.

Not to mention a strict organization like the procuratorate.

“There really was someone in cahoots!”

The leaders of the imperial procuratorate pounded their desks in anger. “Call the Secret Service department and have them send someone to investigate! ”

The Secret Service Department was a professional organization that supervised domestic departments. It was subordinate to the cabinet and had great authority.

The Secret Service department also attached great importance to this incident. Not only did they check this person’s office computer, but they also started to check his social connections, immediate family members, and collateral family members one by one.

With this investigation, they found something very interesting.

There was no abnormal behavior in the prosecutor’s bank account. However, he had a daughter who had just been admitted to Columbia University, one of the Ivy League universities in the United States. She had also received a designated private scholarship, which was 300,000 dollars for four years, this included all the tuition and living expenses.

This private scholarship was actually specially set up at Columbia University, specifically for his daughter alone.

That was too much of a coincidence. The Secret Service Department caught on to this clue and asking them to help find out who set up this private scholarship, they quickly sent a letter to the Special Operations Forces’ field office in New York. It was a scholarship for the prosecutor’s daughter.

On the other hand, after half a day of investigation by the Imperial Procuratorate, and with the public opinion almost turning upside down on the Internet, the editor of the official blog was finally able to stand up to the netizens who were clamoring that “The nation is in peril”.

His first post was that of the original blogger.

[@Truthful Carrot: May I ask, blogger, why did you fake our institute’s IP address? This is our institute’s 24-hour online login log, and it doesn’t show your IP address. May I ask where you got online from?]

The second person tagged Gu Nianzhi’s account and replied to her message.

[@Cute Little Korgi: Thank you for your inquiry, blogger. We conducted an internal investigation based on complaints from netizens. We discovered that someone was in cahoots with outsiders, distorting the facts, and slandering the plaintiff’s lawyer. We have already referred it to the relevant departments for handling. Please wait patiently for an update on the situation. ]

As soon as these two Weibo posts were posted, the troll army under the Procuratorate’s official Weibo immediately disappeared and withdrew.

Meanwhile, the onlookers were dumbfounded and watched as this matter once again took a turn for the worse. The table turned and they had their face slapped!
