Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Is there any news on that side?” Luocheng asked Meiqi as he took a spoonful of porridge.

“My brother mentioned that the cyber police has taken over.” Meiqi replied.

“How did it get passed on to the cyber police?” Lin Dong didn’t really understand how it happened.

Lin Dong had quite an aversion to the term cyber police!

“He mentioned that Xu Pingyang used Sky Club to be the cover for his biggest gaming club, secretly establishing China’s largest hacking company which is involved in a fraud of more than 10 millions of virtual gaming currency. The cyber police have had eyes on him for a long time, but cyber fraud is very complicated. Wanting to press charges is difficult if you want to implement it according to the law. They probably want Sun Liang to release the dam...” Meiqi explained.

“Then... isn’t Xu Pingyang going down!?” Da Luo said excitedly.

All the eyes of those present lit up!

Hacking had long been a poisonous problem in China’s online gaming industry. Luocheng and the rest had been in Sky Club for a long while, but they never knew that Xu Pingyang had such a thing hidden behind it. No wonder there were some rooms that they were forbidden from entering!

“No idea, still waiting for the news, but hopefully this will be the final nail in the coffin for that dog.” Meiqi said.

“Yeah.”

“Lin Dong, you hacked into Xu Pingyang’s computer to spy, will the cyber police find fault with you?” Luocheng asked, suddenly remembering this.

“Spy?” Lin Dong asked, confused.

“If you didn’t spy on him, how did you know that he was going to destroy the contract?”

“Someone sent me a text.”

Luocheng was stunned. Initially, he had thought that Lin Dong had used his hacking to get this important news, but he didn’t expect that someone had informed him.

The problem was, who was the one who had informed them and in short, saving the entire Team Skycrown!?

This doubt lingered in Luocheng’s heart, and for a while, he wondered if it was Zhao Tinghua, but then again, it couldn’t be...

***

Very soon, it was the date of the appeal and the contract was successfully in their hands. The length of the contract clearly stated 2 years, and once Xu Pingyang knew that Sun Liang had been caught, he didn’t even dare to turn up in court. He could only quietly compensate for the mental loss suffered by Team Skycrown in accordance with the court’s decision.

Being tortured by such disgusting methods, did you think it would be enough to just pay some money and it would be settled?

Nobody was satisfied. If Xu Pingyang’s money could bring back Xiao Bei, only then would Luocheng forgive him.

During this time, Team Sky was consistently exposed to negative news on the internet, and the main aim was Xu Pingyang.

All this was great news for Team Skycrown and made them happy, everyday they heard reports about how Xu Pingyang was sued by some company and had to cough up compensations which amounted to tens of thousands. Because he had blackmailed sponsors, he now had to compensate countless tens of thousands. Lin Dong gleefully added the amounts together, and the total came up to almost 20 million!

20 million RMB!

How rich was this b*stard Xu Pingyang, still capable of paying 20 million RMB!?

What was even worse was that Xu Pingyang was already so rich, but yet, he was still frantically trying to exploit people like Luocheng, ones who still earned so little after a few years.

There was more and more news about this poisonous cancer which was Xu Pingyang, a lot of clubs couldn’t believe that Xu Pingyang had squeezed such an amount of money through games, he was basically a rich gaming overlord.

Due to the many business ethics issues, Sky Club lost about three million worth of sponsors. The other smaller sponsors also withdrew from sponsoring their other different games, and this led to Xu Pingyang’s Sky Club becoming an indebted company!

“F*cking sh*t, d*mn it all, Sun Liang...Sun Liang, this dog, I will not let you go!!”

In the club, you could hear the boss’ terrifying rage from the office almost everyday.

Xu Pingyang was about to collapse, he really was on the verge of collapsing. The old things were constantly being dug up and exposed, falling into the hands of the cyber police. Just in this half a month, Xu Pingyang had been called into the station almost twenty times for a drink, and sometimes, even in the middle of the night when people were sleeping, they would also call him in!!

20 million... in this half a month, in order to get rid of this dilemma, Xu Pingyang had lost a total of 20 million RMB. This 20 million was basically his entire property and fortune that he had amassed over the years. Those d*mn gaming platforms and portals had actually turned around and f*cking sued him in the face. It was basically shooting himself in the leg after the discussions were agreed upon...

And just now, Xu Pingyang had f*cking received another call from the police, requiring him to once again go in.

Xu Pingyang considered himself to be a boss and always tried to have a decent-person image, but with the police car coming to his door so many times, this led him to wonder how he was going to mix around in the business circle next time. In China, whether or not you were guilty, as long as you walked into a police car, everyone in your circle would look at you as though you had committed some crime!

“What’s the matter this time!? I’ve already explained what I can. As my lawyer has stated, if you guys make any more trouble for me, I have the right to file a complaint against you!” Xu Pingyang was completely consumed by his rage, seeing a uniform-clad police, he shouted angrily.

“Mr. Xu, I advise you to be a bit more polite. This time, we are investigating a criminal case. If the investigation works out, we’ll be handing you over to the criminal police!” Li Xi, who was in charge of the case, berated Xu Pingyang.

“Criminal, what criminal case?” Xu Pingyang was confused.

“Come with us.”

Li Xi didn’t bother entertaining any further nonsense, pushing Xu Pingyang into the police car.

Xu Pingyang was forced into the car and a lot of people were looking out from the windows of Sky Club.

Wang Kuan, who had established the largest guild in the game Perfect World, said in a small voice, “It looks like the boss is in a bit of a pinch.”

“Yeah, didn’t you see our hacking room was checked by the police over and over again. Sigh, last time, people never cared about hacking, yet now, hacking is a crime.”

“Of course, Q-coins are considered to be real money now. If there was fraud or theft, it has to be dealt with. To be honest, the boss raised a big group of hackers, and we, even though we have been in the club for so long, never knew.” Zhang Ting from the live broadcasting department said.

The few people that stood at the window watched as the police car left the office area. Recently, Sky Club had had a lot of problems. If the cyber police found concrete evidence that Xu Pingyang was indeed the leader of these hackers, the fraud of 10 million would definitely have him in jail for sure. As for today, they had had another criminal case, how many damaging things had Xu Pingyang done?

“Hurry up, look at today’s news!!”

Early in the morning, Meiqi was shouting excruciatingly loudly.

COMMENT

Everyone was woken up by her shouts and blearily made their way to the dining table, prepared for that very ordinary porridge again.

“Get over here, who asked you to eat. Hurry up and look at this.” Meiqi opened her notebook, pointing to something for Luocheng who had reached her the fastest.

Luocheng leaned over and his eyes widened to full awareness as he saw the big words splashed across the screen.

“Number 1 gaming club changes boss!”

“The top gaming club has changed bosses and will be headed by the original ACE Head Secretary—Liang Qi. Liang Qi has expressed that Sky Club has received a very painful blow. Other than their initial popularity and traffic to their channels, they were not willing to let this club go. Liang Qi has expressed that no matter what has happened with Sky Club, the department will definitely still maintain the club. The players will still be able to receive their initial benefits, wages, and treatment as usual and it will not affect their training or participation in competitions.”

After reading the news, Luocheng was doubting whether or not he had read it wrongly. He hurriedly splashed cold water on his face before flying back to read it again.

He had not seen it wrongly, Sky Club had really changed its boss!

After the news article, there was also another article. Xu Pingyang, former Sky Club owner, has been sued by Tencent organizing comittee for a crime involving major hacking and threathening a professional player which forced the said player to commit suicide!

“Internet hacking gang...no wonder Xu Pingyang made it rich so quickly...” Meiqi muttered.

Luocheng’s attention was not on the hacking group, but on the other issue that Xu Pingyang was being sued for...

Threatening a professional player which forced the said player to commit suicide!

Wasn’t this incident referring to Xiao Bei’s incident!!

Could it be that after being interrogated for a month, Sun Liang had also confessed this matter!!

During last year’s incident, there had been some media announcements, but after all that, the police had ruled it as a suicide case, making it impossible for Xu Pingyang to bear any criminal responsibility.

Now, in front of his eyes, the police had dug up this incident and the Tencent organizers knew the truth behind the matter, they would definitely not let Xu Pingyang go because such a dirty incident had happened in the e-sports circle that Tencent had worked so hard to build. This guy had definitely committed a big sin!!

Luocheng had yet to recover from the joy this news had brought when his phone suddenly rang.

Seeing the unknown number, he took the call with some skepticism.

“Hello, I’m the leader of the LOL programme, Ai Ke. Is this Team Skycrown’s captain, Yu Luocheng?” Ai Ke’s voice came through.

“Yes, this is. Hello.” Luocheng was a bit surprised. Why was the head of the LOL programme looking for him? And this was the first time he had called him.

“Have you seen the latest Tencent news?” Ai Ke asked.

Luocheng nodded, but then realizing that the caller wouldn’t see it, he replied with a hasty yes.

“There has been a conclusion on this matter. Xu Pingyang has pleaded guilty in the station. Our senior management has decided to issue a public apology to your team regarding the suspension in the previous year. We will also be awarding the 50,000 RMB subsidy money and also the prize money for placing 5th, and the 100,000 RMB which was not given to your team due to the suspension. In addition, on behalf of the LOL competition organizing committee, we would like to contribute 200,000 RMB as compassionate funds for your member, Xiao Bei. That’s a total of 350,000 RMB, and since he donated his organs to your family member, we will be debiting the amount into your account to distribute. Furthermore, Sky Club will also be issuing a public apology and compensation, an executive from the ACE will be in touch regarding this.” Ai Ke said, his tone sincere and serious.
