Film and Television World Life Record

Hou Guiping had sought help from his teacher Zhang Chao before his death. When Zhang Chao heard about his plight, he reacted indifferently, simply advising him to stop and go back to his studies, and then he stopped asking about it.

That's true, how much affection can an ordinary student have?

However, Zhang Chao later willingly participated in it, knowing he would go to jail, and was eventually sentenced to five years.

Perhaps it was out of a sense of fairness and justice, or perhaps he was moved by the spirit of his student Jiang Yang.

However, to say that Li Jing had no influence or role in this would be nonsense. Otherwise, as a university professor and a well-known lawyer, would Zhang Chao have been willing to give up all that and go to jail?

Ultimately, it was still influenced by Li Jing.

In truth, Li Jing doesn't appear often in this drama, but she's a constant presence throughout. It's her unwavering determination that drives this ten-year war between good and evil.

She finally cleared the stain on her first love, Hou Guiping, and restored his innocence.

Thinking of Li Jing, Li Mu was filled with emotion. How could he possibly let down such a devoted girlfriend who had given so much to him?

Chapter 229 Surgery

Li Mu organized the things in the space, especially the various pieces of evidence and dirt in the folders, categorizing them.

Afterwards, I went to Teacher Ma to get the key, found the school's only photocopier, and made multiple copies of the evidence.

After quietly finishing all of this, Li Mu returned to his dormitory in the evening, had a simple dinner, and then began another task.

As a top-tier hacker in this era, how can I not have my own botnets?

With a perspective spanning over twenty years, and considering the various vulnerabilities and bugs that have been exposed in later generations, the various servers and computers currently on the market are like flat ground to Li Mu, almost completely undefended.

Working late into the night, Li Mu finally achieved his initial goal, easily hacking into the servers of more than a dozen large overseas research institutions and gaining root access to them.

As a botnet user, one needs to remain hidden most of the time; secrecy is crucial. To avoid detection, Li Mu used the highest level of privileges to create a super administrator account for himself.

Then, erase all traces of intrusion and retreat silently.

Hacking involves exploiting vulnerabilities and bugs, but this requires you to know the vulnerabilities and bugs of your target.

Another attack method is to use botnets to frantically access the target, as long as you have enough botnets and a fast enough computing speed.

The target of the attack simply couldn't process so much data in a short time, causing it to crash and become completely overwhelmed.

For example, on Weibo in real life, when a trending topic hit, the server crashed due to a surge in traffic.

Li Mu wasn't doing all this without a purpose. He needed the network's cooperation for what he was about to do, and if he encountered any unreasonable people, he shouldn't blame him for being impolite.

So, who should we target next?

Huang Mao Yue Jun? He's too young to be worth it. We can deal with him later, and he doesn't have any attention-grabbing stories.

The Kahn Group? Not to mention that Li Mu doesn't have any evidence of their crimes yet, the timing isn't right. Making a hasty move would only alert them.

Furthermore, in this era where economic development is paramount, it is conceivable that the Kahn Group, as the city's first listed company, receives considerable attention, and the impact of local protectionism must also be considered.

After thinking it over, Li Mu decided that Li Jianguo was the most suitable target.

As an important character in the drama, he played a part in the experiences of both Hou Guiping and Jiang Yang.

The Kahn Group has been involved in both legitimate and criminal activities for years, and all the illegal things they've done have been covered up and covered up by Li Jianguo.

This is someone who may seem to be of low rank, but holds a very important position and plays a significant role in certain aspects of the Kahn Group.

If we get rid of this person first, the Kahn Group might be able to recruit and cultivate another one, but that will take time and may not achieve the same results.

The Kahn Group may have higher-ranking people backing it up in the county, but these people would never step forward and end up like Li Jianguo, who did so openly and honestly.

According to the plot, in the final ending, after the Kahn Group's incident, the only person implicated in the entire Pingkang County was Li Jianguo.

This means that even if the Kahn Group has connections in the county, they won't be too deeply involved, let alone directly endorse the Kahn Group and get themselves into trouble.

Once Li Jianguo is taken down and the Kahn Group's biggest overt henchman in the county is eliminated, it will be much less convenient for them to do certain things.

Having identified his target, Li Mu found Tianya, the most popular online forum in China at the time. He hacked into the server in less than two minutes, gaining full administrative privileges. He created a super administrator account for himself, then deleted all traces and logged out silently.

Having found evidence of Li Jianguo's illegal and criminal activities, Li Mu began writing posts titled "Confessions of a Corrupt/Police Officer." Even in this day and age, this title is still quite eye-catching.

Next, based on this dirt and evidence of illegal and criminal activities, Li Mu, from Li Jianguo's perspective, made a confession of all the illegal and criminal things he had done over the years, clearly explaining the time, place, and people involved.

However, matters involving the Kahn Group were handled vaguely. Firstly, they didn't want to alert the Kahn Group, and secondly, if the Kahn Group wasn't implicated, they wouldn't expend great effort to protect Li Jianguo, causing unnecessary trouble.

Li Mu needed to quietly destroy the Kahn Group, rather than acting recklessly and fighting them head-on.

I wrote the post, checked it, and published it. I had considered using my super administrator privileges to highlight it and pin it to the top for higher visibility, but I gave up on that idea in the end.

Let's not scare the administrators of Tianya Forum.

Moreover, relying solely on the internet is insufficient; it must be complemented by real-world methods. Combining online and offline approaches is essential to achieving the desired goals more quickly.

Li Mu decided to go to the county town tomorrow.

……

The next day, Li Mu came to the county town again, and at the right time, stuffed several letters of complaint addressed to the province and city into the mailbox next to the post office.

I sat down at a small restaurant nearby, eating my meal while watching the postman pack up and collect the mail from the mailbox. Seeing nothing unusual, I finally relaxed and focused on my meal.

……

A few days later, thanks to the efforts of netizens, the post gradually gained popularity and was even featured by the forum moderators. Li Mu abandoned his idea of ​​directly pinning it to the top using his super administrator account.

The current situation is actually quite good. If it were pinned to the top prematurely, it would easily arouse suspicion from moderators and forum administrators, which would be counterproductive.

Going with the flow is the best approach.

However, he did do something. In the past few days, he wrote a small program that uses the servers of more than a dozen large overseas research institutions that he controls to automatically increase the number of views and upvotes on posts.

If a post gets a lot of views and is popular enough, the forum will naturally pin it to the top to boost traffic. Editors from other portal websites, seeing such a popular post, will also publish the content as online news on their own websites.

Things were going smoothly. Seeing the high number of views on the post, the forum started pinning it to the top, attracting even more viewers. This also caught the attention of editors from major portal websites who were looking for eye-catching news.

In the era of the internet's unbridled growth, regulations were far less stringent than in later times, and much online content was shockingly explicit. Major websites, driven by the pursuit of clicks and traffic, didn't care about such things and dared to publish anything.

The content Li Mu wrote, given its level of explicitness, is really nothing special.

Subsequently, the content of this post was reprinted as online news and appeared on many portal websites and news websites. Although the position was inconspicuous and it was difficult to attract attention, it didn't matter.

Li Mu manipulated the botnets to access this news on various websites, causing the number of clicks on the news to skyrocket.

These days, there are no trending topics, and you can't like or comment. The popularity of news is measured by clicks; the more clicks a news article gets, the more popular it is.

With such a high number of clicks, the editors of various websites naturally wouldn't overlook this news, and following their procedures, they would request that it be placed in a more prominent position.

As more and more websites did this, and more and more websites forwarded this news, it quickly generated considerable public opinion, and even some print media began to report on it sporadically.

Many netizens even called the province or city where Pingkang County is located, or even Pingkang County itself, to question the veracity of the online content and strongly demand that Li Jianguo be dealt with.

In 2000, there weren't many internet users in China. But those who could afford to go online were mostly people within the system and those with good economic conditions, in addition to college students who could use school platforms.

This was precisely one of the most influential groups in China at the time.

Faced with online public opinion and numerous complaint calls, the province had no choice but to respond. Someone suddenly remembered the letter of complaint they had received in the past two days.

According to standard procedures, such whistleblower letters are unlikely to have much effect and are even less likely to attract attention.

Now, we must take this seriously and immediately instructed Qingzhou City to handle this matter properly.

Pingkang County is under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou City. Due to online public opinion and various complaint calls, the city has been in turmoil these past few days. Just as they were figuring out how to handle the situation and how to respond, they received a serious instruction from the province to deal with it.

Personnel were immediately dispatched to Pingkang County to investigate and handle the matter.

In the top-floor office of the Lijing Hotel, Hu Yilang paced anxiously back and forth. Seeing President Sun Chuanfu sitting there calmly, he couldn't help but say, "President Sun, news has come from the city that they're going to really take action against Li Jianguo this time."

Sun Chuanfu glanced at him expressionlessly: "Then let's move."

Hu Yilang became even more anxious.

"Mr. Sun, Li Jianguo is one of our people, and he is very important to us in getting things done here."

Sun Chuanfu glanced at him and said, "There are plenty of people who can get things done."

Hu Yilang was taken aback for a moment, then said in a low voice, "But Li Jianguo knows a lot about us. What if he gets arrested and starts spouting nonsense inside?"

Sun Chuanfu's expression finally changed, and after a long while he said, "Then you should go and meet him. He's a smart man; he knows what he can and cannot say."

“They promised him that their company would take care of him, provide him with a resettlement allowance, and arrange a good job for him after he gets out.”

"As long as you keep your mouth shut, none of this will be a problem. Anyway, you're going to jail. If you dare to say anything in there, who knows what might happen to your family outside!"

"He's a smart man; he'll make the right choice."

Hu Yilang nodded helplessly, accepting President Sun's arrangement. However, he still felt a little uneasy.

"Mr. Sun, I have a feeling that Li Jianguo's situation is not simple. If he really goes to jail, it will be beyond our control. What if something unexpected happens..."

A hint of worry appeared on Sun Chuanfu's usually calm face.

He sighed and said, "We can't protect Li Jianguo, nor should we. He's not worth spending so many resources on; it's not worth it."

Hu Yilang understood this, nodded disappointedly, and quickly left the office. He needed to hurry and talk to Li Jianguo before the city officials arrived.

I hope he's a smart man.

Chapter 230 Removing the Claws and Fangs

A few days later, Qingzhou City issued a notice stating that Li Jianguo, the captain of the criminal police brigade of Pingkang County, had been dismissed and detained on suspicion of multiple crimes and was under investigation.
