Cutting-edge technology: I handed myself over

Chapter 67: The Beginning

The following day, Li Honghua, the most famous internet celebrity recently, insisted on live-streaming his harvesting of chives from his room at home, even though he was bandaged and injured, in order not to waste the popularity of being rear-ended by an unmanned bus.

Just as Li Honghua was speaking eloquently and at length, the sudden ringing of the doorbell made him involuntarily feel uneasy.

Then, pretending to be calm, Li Honghua held up his phone to open the door while continuing to chat with the viewers in the live broadcast room: "Family members, it's not that I'm afraid Uncle Hat will come knocking, but that I can't bear to leave you for even a second, so I took you with me to open the door."

What does it mean to have a guilty conscience? What did I do wrong?

Think about it, if a driverless bus can't even avoid sudden braking, how can it possibly avoid people or electric scooters that rush out from its blind spots?

If you can't avoid it, wouldn't you kill someone?

If you ask me, I'll open the door first...

"Click~ Swish swish~"

The moment the door opened, two figures flashed past Li Honghua's eyes.

Before Li Honghua could react, he and the live stream screen blurred into obscurity.

"Bang!"

With a loud thud, Li Honghua saw stars, and the live stream went black.

Then, Li Honghua and the viewers in the live stream heard an unfamiliar voice: "Report, the target has been brought under control."

"Help!"

The sound brought the bewildered Li Honghua back to his senses. While wriggling and struggling on the ground, he cried out for help: "Family members, please call the police for me! Someone has broken into my house and robbed me!"

My home is in…

Before Li Honghua could finish speaking, he was suddenly lifted up, allowing him to see the current situation and making it impossible for him to continue.

Because he was lifted up by two soldiers with camouflage painted on their faces.

In front of him, besides an elderly man in a suit who was bending down to pick up his phone, there were eight soldiers armed with guns, scattered in various corners on guard.

"Everyone, please don't panic. I am Li Mu, the head of the Security Special Operations Bureau."

Li Mu introduced himself to the camera, and then explained to Li Honghua and the viewers in the live broadcast room: "Li Honghua, your cousin Li Hongzhi (the unmanned bus maintenance worker) confessed to your affairs shortly after being arrested last night in order to reduce his sentence. He not only admitted to espionage, but also implicated you as the mastermind, and he is willing to testify in court."

So, please come with us.

After explaining, Li Mu deliberately ignored Li Honghua and, feeling slightly nervous, slowly prepared to leave.

It is true that Li Hongzhi has been arrested, but he still refuses to admit that he gave Li Honghua the information about the driverless bus, which enabled Li Honghua to cause the driverless bus to crash, let alone admit to espionage.

However, Li Honghua was unaware of this information, and since he wasn't a seasoned veteran who frequently entered and exited the bureau, Li Mu wanted to bluff Li Honghua to see if he could get Li Honghua to reveal it himself.

This is why Li Mu, a high-ranking official, would bring his team here in such a grand manner: his status could put psychological pressure on Li Honghua and make Li Honghua subconsciously believe that he could influence the outcome of Li Honghua's trial, thus causing Li Honghua to expose himself in public.

And that was indeed the case. Li Honghua instinctively retorted, "I wasn't the mastermind. Li Hongzhi was the mastermind. It was Li Hongzhi who told me how to make the driverless bus crash, and it was also him who arranged for my parents, wife, and children to immigrate!"

Upon hearing this, Li Mu secretly breathed a sigh of relief: Although the chief said that irrefutable evidence was not necessary, having irrefutable evidence was definitely better than not having it.

The thought flashed through his mind, and Li Mu stopped, turning his head slightly to look at Li Honghua with a half-smile: "You say he's the mastermind, he says you're the mastermind, who should I believe?"

Li Honghua's eyes lit up, and he blurted out, "I have evidence! The GoPro in my safe has a recording of Li Hongzhi conspiring with me!"

Li Mu gestured to one of the soldiers with his eyes, then smiled gently at Li Honghua and said, "Since you are not the mastermind and have provided crucial evidence, I think the judge will treat you leniently."

"Phew~"

After confirming that he wouldn't be blamed, Li Honghua breathed a heavy sigh of relief, then slumped down, his body limply supported as he stood.

"Everyone, that's how it is."

Li Mu pointed his phone camera at himself again and said with a kind smile, "Please remember, the internet is not a lawless place. Do not believe or spread rumors."

"..."

After Li Mu ended the live stream, the viewers in Li Honghua's live stream room finally went wild. Some were terrified, some were filled with lingering fear, some were gloating, and some were thoroughly enjoying the conversation.

Subsequently, these viewers started by spreading the story virally, making it the hottest topic in a short period of time.

As expected, when the topic was at its hottest, some online trolls ignored the facts, took things out of context, and tried to distort the incident into a case of collusion between officials and businessmen, creating class antagonism.

Unexpectedly, after learning that Li Honghua had proven himself to be a spy, some of the online trolls confessed that they had taken orders from a black company to help Li Honghua spread conspiracy theories and create class antagonism.

That's why when those online trolls who still work diligently and tirelessly for money find out that some of their colleagues have "betrayed" them, they feel a sense of despair and their whole being is ruined.

Subsequently, the clever online trolls not only immediately turned back and decisively deleted the posts and apologized, but also changed their stance and proactively and for free boosted the company's positive public opinion.

Those with a bit of sense delete their posts and play dead, closing their eyes and refusing to fight back or retaliate, waiting for divine retribution.

The stupid and wicked, on the other hand, are stubborn to the end, not only refusing to admit their mistakes but also persisting in working hard.

The local "hat uncles" (a local term for volunteers) sincerely admired and thanked them. To this end, they paid a visit to the animals and personally and thoughtfully presented them with a rose gold bracelet, and also arranged free food, clothing, and lodging for them.

As a result, the popularity of the Li Honghua spy case has been declining at a visible rate.

However, before the heat of the Li Honghua espionage incident had completely subsided, the Security Service Bureau raised the issue of espionage again.

Because the Secret Service, for the first time ever, issued more than a hundred official statements in a row.

Each statement represents the capture of a spy, so the Secret Service has arrested over a hundred spies in one go!

We have so many spies in our own ranks?!

Or has some kind of spy network been completely dismantled?

For a time, the public vaguely felt that something was amiss with this espionage incident.

However, before anyone could delve deeper, the content broadcast on the 7 pm news that evening overwhelmingly became the number one topic globally, firmly attracting worldwide attention.

Because the Tushita Palace Project and the Magpie Bridge Project were reported in detail in the news!
