Chapter 135 The Internet Blows Up

The next day, around 3:30 PM, Sri Lanka Township, People's Army base.

Su Tianyu had an appointment to meet Fei Pingsheng, but he hadn't arrived yet. Su Tianyu sat in the dormitory, legs crossed, scrolling through his phone to pass the time.

Hou Guoyu sat beside him, practicing with his prosthetic fingers on his left hand.

Su Tianyu was fiddling with his phone when a group message popped up from the "General Administration Work Group." He casually tapped the message and saw that Lu Feng had forwarded a post from Twitter: "One Hand Covering the Sky, Dark Secrets in the Target Bar Explosion Case..."

The title was explosive. Su Tianyu immediately opened the post and skimmed through it.

A user with the ID "CandyInMyPocket" posted an exposé about the explosion in Dragon City the previous night, claiming that the so-called conflict was not the real story. There was another truth behind it.

The post claimed that the incident started because relatives of the Dragon City Garrison Commander Jiang were selling narcotics. The drugs were hijacked. They sent people to the Target Bar to retrieve the goods, but they ran into some tough customers. The two sides exchanged gunfire, and Da Lao Wang's men threw grenades, killing four innocent students.

The post went on to say that everyone in Dragon City knew that the garrison was involved in everything from gambling to drugs, raking in money like crazy. The Dragon City police had long been bought off, and all the officials were in on it. This kind of under-the-table dealing had been going on for years, and now it had finally blown up! So many people had died, and they still wanted to cover it up!

The post included a large amount of supporting evidence! It even included a diagram of the relationships between the people involved.

According to the diagram, the first person was the deceased suspect, Da Lao Wang. Above Da Lao Wang was Lu Guangwei, Lu Guangwei's cousin was Jiang Zheng, and Jiang Zheng's father was Jiang Yuanzhen, the commander of the Dragon City Garrison.

The user called "CandyInMyPocket" also claimed that the Jiang family had dozens of tons of drugs in Dragon City and that they had monopolized the entire market. These people wore military uniforms but engaged in the dirtiest business. It was a pity for those innocent victims, who were killed without even knowing what was happening.

Furthermore, the owner of the Target Bar was called Wei Xiangzuo, and Wei Xiangzuo was close to the director of the Dragon City General Administration, like sworn brothers. That's why a bar with such serious safety hazards could never be shut down.

At the end of the post, "CandyInMyPocket" lamented that the four innocent victims were all recent college graduates who just wanted to celebrate. They never expected to be killed before they even set foot into society.

…

There were a large number of comments below the post.

"I knew it! It wasn't that simple! Everyone knows the Dragon City police and gangsters are in cahoots!"

"Poor college students, they died so unjustly!"

"Who is the director of the General Administration? Is he that psychopath who started two wars?"

"I said it a long time ago, the Dragon City Police Department solved the case so quickly, there must be something fishy! Only you fools believe everything they say!"

"Dragon City? I call it Little Gotham."

As Su Tianyu scrolled through Twitter, more and more comments and reposts kept popping up.

The public opinion was overwhelmingly negative. Even worse was the official account of the Dragon City Police Department, especially the post about the police report, which was full of insults.

After reading it, Su Tianyu immediately opened the trending topics on Twitter and found that the post was already number three.

Su Tianyu scrolled down and saw that the post was published around 1:30 PM, meaning that the post came out to slap them in the face right after the police report was released.

Su Tianyu frowned, sensing that something was wrong. He immediately called Gu Baisun and asked directly, "Did you see the trending topics on Twitter?"

Gu Baisun said softly, "I saw it. There's definitely something wrong. I'm investigating."

"What have you found out?" Su Tianyu asked urgently.

Gu Baisun sighed, "I found the account, but it's a dead account that hasn't been used in a long time. It was pushed up by a group of big Vs reposting it."

"Okay, pay more attention and see who's behind this." Su Tianyu instructed.

Gu Baisun replied, "I understand."

The two exchanged a few words and hung up the phone.

Su Tianyu took his phone and continued to browse the related trending topics.

…

5:00 PM, Dragon City Police Department.

In the bright and clean director's office, Shang Yao sat at his desk, wearing his reading glasses, staring at the computer screen with a gloomy expression. The room was very quiet, with only the rustling sound of him scrolling the mouse wheel.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

The office door was suddenly knocked on. Shang Yao said in a deep voice, "Come in!"

Police Captain Lao Wu pushed open the door, quickly walked to Shang Yao, and said with a slightly nervous expression, "Director Shang, we just released the police report, and a post immediately followed on Twitter. The post implies that the police department's high... high-level... is related to this matter. Take a look at this news..."

When he mentioned "high-level," Lao Wu couldn't help but pause, secretly sizing up Shang Yao's expression.

Shang Yao slowly moved his gaze away from the computer screen and landed on Lao Wu's face, saying coldly, "I've already seen it."

The police department had just released a report, and a post immediately came out to expose them, slapping the police department in the face.

"Someone must be behind this." Shang Yao said with a gloomy look, instructing Lao Wu, "Call them immediately and tell them to clear out the goods in the city as soon as possible!"

"Okay!" Lao Wu nodded and immediately turned to leave the office to contact the people there.

…

A little later, Lu Guangwei sat in a black SUV, holding his phone, and impatiently ordered his subordinates, "Xiao Chao, get the goods out of the warehouse immediately! Damn it, hurry up!"

After hanging up the phone, Lu Guangwei leaned heavily on the chair, his face full of irritability...

…

7:00 PM, Zha Nan Wharf District, "Rongsheng" Logistics Company.

Under the cover of night, several large trucks drove into the warehouse next to the logistics company. When the doors of the carriages opened, more than twenty people jumped out and quickly walked towards the neatly stacked cargo boxes.

At the same time, around the warehouse, four young men wearing baseball caps quietly approached.

One of the young men pointed to the wall in front of them, and the other three stopped, then took out several cans of portable spray paint from their bags.

"Clang, clang!"

The four shook the spray paint cans.

"Sizzle..."

With a slight hissing sound, they sprayed a row of eye-catching words on the wall: "San Guang Society, Vengeance is a Must!"

A few minutes later, the four young men sprayed a few more words and quietly left.
