Hello, Mr. Major General Chapter 980

Chapter 980

However, Cai Songyin got an idea, so her anxious expression relaxed slightly.

If the Weibo servers had been restarted using data backup copies from a few days ago, then would the private messages between her company and that blogger also have been deleted?

That would mean that there was nothing to use as blackmail against her!

Cai Songyin quickly calculated on her own while Tan Dongbang spoke with the Minister of Information Technology about borrowing computer experts.

Tan Guiren propped her head under a hand and quietly looked out the car window, sighing quietly.

Her family was a total mess. She wished so badly that a powerful man would fall from the sky right now and rescue her from this disaster…

Where was her hero?

While the three Tans were all in their own thoughts, Cai Shengnan was searching for a solution.

She didn’t know much about computers, nor did she have a lot of confidence in the personnel from the Ministry of Information Technology. Instead, she found an American computer expert she knew well and sent him an email in hopes that he could assess the situation.

The American computer expert also happened to know about the incident and had observed the entire process. He’d even downloaded a copy of the short video…

When he saw Cai Shengnan’s email of inquiry in his inbox, the American computer expert made a phone call to dramatically praise the person behind all this.

“Julie, this person is a genius! They are 100% a genius! He’s so amazing! Just making Weibo unable to delete or block the video alone is not something a typical computer expert is capable of! I never knew that such a computer expert existed in the Huaxia Empire!”

“Julie, did you know that I only admired one other computer expert before? He is called ‘Little Pink Piggy.’ He suddenly appeared last year and swept across the German Federal Intelligence Service! Now I have a second idol to worship! I shall call him the Angel of Darkness!”

What the hell was Little Pink Piggy?

And Angel of Darkness?!

How immature!

Cai Shengnan sneered as she began speaking with this person.

“…Doing this is very difficult?”

“Of course! Theoretically speaking, the system admin would have full permissions as long as it’s content on my server. The admin can delete, change, or block whatever they want and there would be no issue. But the person who uploaded this video changed the site admin’s permissions. In other words, he assigned a restriction to the Weibo system admin, making it impossible to delete or block this special file!”

Cai Shengnan was completely befuddled by what he was saying.

She stared at the night sky and thought about it for a while before asking, “The system admin permissions cannot be changed?”

“Theoretically speaking, no. Only other accounts have permission restrictions. Think about it, why is it called ‘system admin’? It means that it dictates the system, so it cannot be changed. However, this person was able to do that. I am very interested in how he was able to achieve this. If I get the chance, I would very much like to speak with him…”

The American computer expert kept blabbering about his admiration for the person who had uploaded the video. It was very uncomfortable for Cai Shengnan to listen to.

“Haha, so there is such an impressive hacker. No wonder you admire him so much. You don’t even know how he was able to do this?” Cai Shengna said this purposely in an attempt to goad the American computer expert.

As expected, the American computer expert fell for the bait and remarked excitedly, “I was looking at the Weibo systems too. I discovered that the security settings for the blogger’s original Weibo account were pretty terrible. I easily hacked it and, when I looked at his account, I noticed that all his private messages were deleted too. Looks like Weibo restarting with the data backup copy has seriously impacted this blogger.”

“Oh? So all the original blogger’s private messages were deleted? They can’t be recovered?” Cai Shengnan asked casually as she noted the important points down in her electronic notebook.

Cai Shengnan overheard this from the front seat and turned around to ask discreetly, “…How did you know that the original blogger’s private messages were deleted?”

Cai Shengnan signaled at Cai Songyin to remain calm. She then said to the American computer expert, “I understand, thank you. I’m on the road right now and will chat with you later.”

She’d originally intended to invite this American computer expert to be her technical consultant. From the looks of things, when they met the hacker who’d uploaded the video in court, Cai Shengnan was worried that this American computer expert would instantly kneel at the feet of that person…

After ending the call with the American computer expert, Cai Shengnan nodded to Cai Songyin. “I’ve confirmed that they were deleted. The person I called is very impressive, he just went into the original blogger’s Weibo account and took a look.”

Tan Guiren had been listening quietly from the side for a while. She suddenly said quietly, “…I heard from the Military Cultural Regiment that Major General Huo’s department has many computer experts. How about we ask Major General Huo to help investigate?”

“Oh, really? Major General Huo’s department has computer experts? They are even better than the computer experts from the Ministry of Information Technology?” Cai Shengnan immediately expressed keen interest, wanting nothing more but to hold Tan Guiren’s hand and talk to her.

Cai Songyin coughed quietly to stop Tan Guiren.

“Little Darling, we will find our own computer experts. As for Major General Huo, they are a military agency, so we shouldn’t bother them when it comes to a Cabinet related matter like this.”

Cai Shengnan was a bit disappointed.

This was such a good opportunity to get closer to Huo Shaoheng, so why was Cai Songyin giving up on it?

She regarded Cai Songyin quickly, then somehow saw a trace of fear in her eyes that she wasn’t able to hide in time…

What was the reason for this?

Cai Shengnan looked away discreetly and glanced at her phone. She picked it up to send her father an email.

Her father probably knew about what had happened in the Huaxia Empire.

Unfortunately, they couldn’t even take the first step.

How could they find that hacker?

Cai Shengnan’s father, Cai Sumin, had been following this incident as expected. Because Tan Dongbang was his brother-in-law, he was more concerned than most people.

Seeing Cai Shengnan’s email, Cai Sumin immediately called her.

“Shengnan, where is your auntie?” Cai Sumin asked over the phone.

Cai Shengnan glanced at Cai Songyin in the front seat. “She’s here, do you want to speak to her?”

Cai Shaoxian sat before his desk as he looked at the great commotion online. He nodded with concern. “Give the phone to her.”

Cai Shengnan immediately said, “Auntie, my father is calling.”

Cai Songyin was very happy. “Your father?!”

She quickly took the phone and the first thing she said was, “Big Brother! You finally called me!”

Cai Shengnan’s father was Cai Sumin. He was Cai Songyin’s biological older brother. They had always gotten along very well since they were young.

Cai Sumin was one of the most renowned Chinese lawyers in the United States, after all, so he only had to ask a few questions to determine that something was wrong from Cai Songyin’s reaction.

“Songyin, tell me the truth. Did you have anything to do with this incident or not?” Cai Shaoxian asked slowly.

Cai Songyin choked for a second. Quickly glancing at Tan Dognbang, she tried very hard to maintain her calm posture. “This is a very complicated incident. The blogger who uploaded the video kept insisting that his account had been hacked and that it had nothing to do with him.”

“Nothing to do with him? So it has nothing to do with him just because he said so? The fact is that the video was posted from his account. His fans were the ones who reposted it as well, so what reason do you have to believe him? Just because he claims that it wasn’t him?” Cai Shaoxian cut to the chase, pointing out the unspeakable secret in Cai Songyin’s heart.

Cai Songyin couldn’t let Tan Dongbang know the truth behind the incident, nor did she want Tan Guiren to know, so she decided to deal with it alone.

“Big Brother, we already investigated that blogger. He’s just a nobody writer who doesn’t have any background at all, so how could he have done such a thing? What does he stand to gain?” Cai Songyin still expressed that she believed the original blogger.

“What does he stand to gain? Of course, there’s always money. You think it’s for his ambitions or interests?” Cai Sumin was now even more certain that this incident had something to do with his younger sister.

However, he didn’t know why she unlucky enough to have ended up swallowed up by the incident.

“Big Brother, I don’t know what to do either. He kept insisting it was a hacker, so there’s nothing we can do either.” Cai Songyin vaguely expressed her objection.

Cai Sumin raised his voice. “You don’t know what to do? There’s nothing you can do? Then go ahead and sue him! In this situation, he should be the one to present evidence that he was hacked. We shouldn’t be the ones listening to his explanations and believing that a hacker did this. Songyin, there’s no way you fail to even understand this point!”

Cai Songyin’s heart began to tremble as she listened. She was about to speak but stopped herself because she could already see Tan Dongbang looking over in the corner of her eyes. She quickly adjusted her facial expression and continue to say inexplicably, “I was frightened badly earlier, so I actually didn’t think of that. But if Big Brother thinks that this will work, how about we video call and discuss it in detail once we get home?”

Cai Sumin was silent for a while. “…You’re not able to speak freely right now?”

“We are in the car and about to return to the Prime Minister’s official residence.” Cai Songyin said with a smile, her expression now composed.

Tan Dongbang had been secretly observing Cai Songyin from the side all this time, so he finally sighed in relief when he saw that she wasn’t uncomfortable at all.

Just like his daughter, Tan Guiren, Tan Dongbang had immense trust in Cai Songyin’s abilities.

But Cai Songyin was the one who knew that she had really hit a brick wall this time.

She felt barely suppressed terror in her heart. It seemed like her good luck throughout all these years had been completely used up at this moment.

Ending the call, she returned the phone to Cai Shengnan and slumped her head against the car window as she contemplated in silence.

If she confirmed that the original blogger didn’t have any evidence or anything to use as blackmail against them, then perhaps they could choose to sue the original blogger directly…

But the original poster would be sure to express that they were the ones who’d asked him to smear Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng and that he’d had nothing to do with that video. Then she could tell this information to Huo Shaoheng and see how he would react.

That way, public opinion would certainly be manipulated and her intention to smear Gu Nianzhi would still be achieved.

As for Huo Shaoheng, she could take this opportunity to see his reaction. She would check if he would step in to rescue Gu Nianzhi, or if… he would stay idle and protect himself.
