The Chu family's methods go far beyond those underhanded, clandestine tactics used offline.

Online, a long-planned and unprecedented public opinion war erupted like a flood breaking through a dam!

Overnight, it was as if someone had secretly pressed a switch.

Tens of thousands of marketing accounts and online trolls suddenly appeared on major social media platforms, short video websites, and even some authoritative news portals.

They were like sharks that had smelled blood, united in their narrative, and frantically spread rumors and smeared the SKY SOUL software!

"Shocking! SKY SOUL has a serious privacy vulnerability; your secrets are being watched by the entire internet!"

"The Lies of Anonymous Social Networking! SKY SOUL's Backend Code Exposed, User Data Sold in Packages to Overseas Organizations!"

"Never use Sky Soul! Your chat history has already become someone else's cash cow!"

Various sensational headlines, accompanied by numerous highly realistic fake screenshots claiming that "user chat logs are being sold in packages," are spreading wildly online.

These rumors are like poisoned daggers, precisely striking the core of trust in anonymous social media!

For SKY SOUL users, the reason they are willing to confide in and vent their emotions on this platform is because they believe in its absolute privacy and security.

Now, they are being told that their secrets are not only unsafe, but are also being sold online like commodities!

This sense of panic spread instantly among users.

SKY SOUL's daily active user data has begun to show a precipitous drop!

Young people who used to be active in the "Cloud Wasteland Tree Hole" forum uninstalled the app one after another. The customer service center was inundated with calls from angry users demanding that their accounts be canceled and their data deleted.

Furthermore, a group of uninformed users gathered downstairs at the headquarters of Kunlun Capital in Hanzhou, holding banners and protesting, demanding an explanation from Kunlun Capital.

Star City, SKY SOUL R&D Headquarters.

Lin Yu was so anxious that his mouth was full of blisters and his eyes were bloodshot. He paced back and forth in the computer room like an enraged lion.

"Investigate! Investigate every inch of it! Turn the underlying code upside down, find the vulnerability!"

Lin Yu yelled at his team of programmers.

The entire technical team worked three consecutive all-nighters, drank more than a dozen cases of Red Bull, and checked all of SKY SOUL's code from beginning to end countless times.

However, the result was devastating.

No vulnerabilities!

SKY SOUL's encryption system is rock solid, with absolutely no trace of data leakage!

Those so-called "chat screenshots" circulating online are all faked using software!

This is a purely unreasonable smear campaign waged by capital!

The Chu family doesn't care about the truth at all; they just need to muddy the waters, exploit the public's panic, and completely destroy Sky Soul's foundation of trust!

Hanzhou, headquarters of Kunlun Capital.

Jiang Ye stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the crowd of protesters holding banners, his eyes icy cold.

Offline physical stores were shut down, and online software was hacked.

Jiang Ye is facing the most severe dual crisis since founding Kunlun Capital!

……

Faced with the overwhelming offensive of the Chu family, Jiang Ye did not choose to blindly retaliate.

He knew very well that the Chu family, a long-established conglomerate of a certain caliber, possessed deep-rooted resources and ruthless methods. Simply engaging in verbal battles with them in the media or arguing with the bribed departments offline would be utterly futile and would only lead to being trapped in their game and slowly worn down.

We must escape this quagmire and deliver a fatal blow to the Chu family from a higher perspective!

late at night.

A secluded private teahouse on the outskirts of Hanju.

This teahouse is built halfway up the mountain, surrounded by bamboo forests, in a quiet and secluded environment. It usually only receives distinguished guests of special status.

Jiang Ye drove here alone and, led by a waiter, entered a quaint private room.

The aroma of tea wafted through the private room.

A middle-aged man wearing a jacket and gold-rimmed glasses was sitting at the tea table, slowly brewing tea.

This person is none other than Lin Zhifeng, who has been officially promoted to mayor of Hanzhou!

Jiang Ye walked over and sat down opposite Lin Zhifeng, his expression solemn.

Without exchanging pleasantries, Lin Zhifeng took out an internal document stamped with a top-secret seal from his briefcase and pushed it in front of Jiang Ye.

"Brother Jiang, take a look at this." Lin Zhifeng's voice was somewhat low.

Jiang Ye picked up the document, quickly scanned it, and his brows instantly furrowed into a deep frown.

"The Chu family is serious this time."

Lin Zhifeng picked up his teacup, blew on the floating tea leaves, and said in a deep voice:

"They not only attacked you commercially, but also tried to forcefully intervene in the overall planning of Hanzhou High-tech Zone through their connections in the province."

"The High-tech Zone is the core of Hanzhou's development for the next ten years. The Chu family is trying to use the opportunity of suppressing you to directly reach into Hanzhou's coffers and reap the benefits!"

Jiang Ye sneered, threw the document on the table, picked up the teacup in front of him, and took a sip.

"That old fox Chu Tiankuo has too big an appetite; isn't he afraid of overeating himself?"

Jiang Ye put down his teacup, staring intently at Lin Zhifeng, his eyes flashing with a crazy and dangerous light.

"Mayor Lin, since they're trying to play dirty tricks, then we'll dig a massive pit big enough to bury the entire Chu family!"

Lin Zhifeng paused for a moment, put down his teacup, and leaned forward slightly: "Brother Jiang, what's your plan?"

Jiang Ye took a deep breath and unveiled a shocking plan:

"I'll use Kunlun Capital as bait to lure the Chu family's core funds into the game!"

"Isn't the Chu family trying to reap the benefits of the High-tech Zone? Then let's go with the flow and proactively hand over some of the most crucial and expensive infrastructure projects in the High-tech Zone to them!"

"At the same time, I will have Kunlun Capital completely shrink its defenses in the stock market, creating the illusion that the capital chain is broken and the company is about to collapse."

"That old fox Chu Tiankuo is inherently suspicious, but if the profits are large enough, he absolutely won't resist this piece of meat that's been delivered right to his mouth. Once the Chu family's core funds enter Hanzhou on a large scale, into those infrastructure projects that can't be liquidated in the short term..."

Jiang Ye's lips curled into a cold smile as he spoke, enunciating each word clearly:

"Then, we'll close the door and beat the dog!"

Lin Zhifeng gasped after hearing Jiang Ye's plan.

This plan is insane!

Using Kunlun Capital, a company worth hundreds of billions, as bait could lead to utter ruin if one is not careful!

But Lin Zhifeng was also a man of great courage. He knew very well that if the Chu family gained a foothold in Hanzhou, then his position as mayor would become nothing more than a figurehead.

The two talked in the tea room for four hours straight, over a pot of tea.

From the allocation of funds to the coordination and cover of policies, every detail was scrutinized repeatedly until the first light of dawn appeared. A shocking scheme that could overturn the entire business landscape of Jiangnan Province was finally formed!
