Chapter 351 Attack! Killer Move!
Yu Family Villa.
Su Tianyu ended his call with Wang Daolin and slowly placed his phone on the coffee table.
"What's wrong?" Yu Mingyuan asked when he saw Su Tianyu's expression was off.
"Wang Daolin called me and said the Regulatory Commission arrested many members of the Ma Gong Association (code labor association) today, and they're keeping it very secret." Su Tianyu looked up and replied, "Even he can't find out any information about it."
Yu Mingyuan was also puzzled, "The Regulatory Commission has always been in cahoots with the Ma Gong Association. I heard the new head of the Regulatory Commission is Jing Yan's new backer. Why would they suddenly arrest Ma Bang (code gang) people? That doesn't make sense!"
Su Tianyu rubbed his palms together, "It is very unusual."
"Could it be that Jing Yan messed up in the Old Triangle area, and the higher-ups think he's useless, so they're moving against him?" Yu Mingyuan asked tentatively.
"Doesn't seem like it." Su Tianyu shook his head, "The Ma Gong Association has tens of thousands of members and has completely taken root in Dragon City. Moving against Jing Yan rashly would be too hasty. Besides, the blame for the Old Triangle can't be pinned on Jing Yan. They lost because of You Yifan and Xiao Pingxi Wang (Little Prince of the West)."
Yu Mingyuan nodded in agreement.
"I'll have Wang Daolin continue to keep an eye on this matter. I guess we'll be able to get some news by tomorrow morning." Su Tianyu got up. "Forget it, let's not think about it for now. Let's wait for news."
"Okay, I'm going upstairs to take a shower."
"Okay, I'm going to sleep too."
After a few words, the two returned to their rooms.
Su Tianyu took a shower in the bathroom, washed up, set the alarm, and lay down to rest.
Half an hour passed, and Su Tianyu still couldn't fall asleep. His mind was full of the sudden change in the Ma Gong Association. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
Just like Yu Mingyuan said, the Dragon City Regulatory Commission has always intentionally supported Jing Yan's Ma Gong Association. The two are in a relationship of backer and lackey. The Regulatory Commission arresting people without warning is obviously very abnormal.
Why would this happen?
Su Tianyu sat up from the bed, lit a cigarette, and thought about it carefully. He suddenly thought of a possibility.
Is the Regulatory Commission doing this to help Jing Yan? The latter has a handle in Zhao Weihu's hands, so since the exhibition failed, Jing Yan could foresee that he would be targeted, so...
Thinking of this, Su Tianyu immediately picked up his phone and dialed his older brother Zhao Weihu's number.
"Hello?" The call was answered quickly. Obviously, his busy brother was still awake.
"Brother, I heard some rumors..." Su Tianyu told Zhao Weihu what Wang Daolin had said.
After listening, Zhao Weihu asked, "What do you mean?"
"It's better to do it sooner rather than later. Jing Yan knows what cards you have in your hand. We can't give him a chance to protect himself," Su Tianyu said in a low voice. "We don't need to care what he's going to do, just take him down."
Zhao Weihu pondered for a moment, "Xiao Yu, as long as I don't use this thing in my hand, I can keep scaring Jing Yan. But once I use it, it won't have any effect later. Do you understand what I mean?"
Su Tianyu nodded slowly, "I've considered this. But this scare you're talking about has a bottom line in Jing Yan's mind. For example, if you ask Jing Yan for ten million, he might give it to you. But if you want him to hand over the position of vice president in the Ma Gong Association, he definitely won't do it. But if we use this thing now, take Jing Yan down, and create hidden dangers for the Ma Gong Association, it would be the greatest benefit for us. Because if the Ma Gong Association is in chaos, they won't have the energy to interfere with our business anymore. What do you think?"
Zhao Weihu carefully thought about Su Tianyu's words and agreed straightforwardly, "Okay, let's do as you say. You can use that thing."
...
The next morning, a little after eight o'clock.
Inside Yu Family Villa, Su Tianyu called Bai Hongbo over, "Do you know anyone who works in media, who runs a portal website?"
Bai Hongbo was stunned, "What kind of portal website are you talking about? The kind with a bunch of small ads? To be honest, I do know someone who works for a well-known App..."
Su Tianyu scolded, "A proper one, I want a proper one!"
"Oh, then I really don't know anyone. I don't have those kinds of resources." Da Bai blinked. "What are you going to do?"
"I have some information about Jing Yan that I want to leak, but I can't look for Dragon City media, and preferably not from the First District either. I'm afraid that once the information is released, it will all be blocked before it even has a chance to spread," Su Tianyu said after thinking for a moment, "Preferably something on the external network."
"Then you should ask Big Brother Zhao Weihu."
"I can't use those connections," Su Tianyu waved his hand, "Preferably a neutral zone portal media website."
Da Bai thought for a moment, "Then you should ask Zhou Tonghui! He has so many classmates, he definitely knows someone who works in that field."
When Su Tianyu heard this, he immediately pinched Da Bai's cheek, "Smart!"
Five minutes later, Su Tianyu called Zhou Tonghui and said in a low voice, "I need you to do me a favor."
Zhou Tonghui was so scared that he almost wet himself, "Brother, please don't mention money again! Ever since I've been with you guys, my dad suspects I'm doing drugs...!"
"...!" Su Tianyu was speechless, "I'm not borrowing money this time. I want to ask if you know any media friends who run portal websites in other districts."
After the two talked on the phone for about ten minutes, Su Tianyu used his computer to compress an encrypted file and quietly sent it to Zhou Tonghui. He also had Kong Zhenghui transfer 150,000 for "promotion expenses" to Little Zhou's company.
Although the money wasn't much, it was a token of appreciation. After all, no one helps for free these days.
...
That afternoon, a little after four o'clock, a media company registered in a neutral island region had its portal website called *Global Focus* release a top news story.
The headline was: "Explosive! The Biggest Secret of the Regulatory Commission's Hostage Case! The Chi Army Successfully Escaped, Possibly With the Secret Assistance of the Ma Gong Association!"
When this news came out, it didn't cause much of a stir at first, because the *Global Focus* portal website mainly focused on military and political news, with little entertainment content, so its usual traffic was low, and the people who followed it were mostly hardcore military fans.
However, the news quickly spread within the fixed fan base, causing a major sensation. Many First District residents who liked to use VPNs to browse international news quickly reposted the content to some social groups within their district and some relatively free portal websites.
Four hours later, the news exploded in the First District and quickly spread to Dragon City.
Inside the Ma Gong Association headquarters office, Jing Yan was smoking and resting with his eyes closed when his secretary suddenly pushed the door open and walked in with a phone in his hand, his voice trembling as he said, "Chairman, something happened!"
Jing Yan suddenly sat up straight, "What is it?!"
"Please take a look at this news." The secretary walked over and placed the computer on the desk.
Jing Yan picked up the wireless mouse and quickly skimmed through the text, then opened a video.
The light in the video was very dim, but Jing Yan's face could be clearly seen. He was holding a gun and walking towards a group of terrified hostages...
