8pm. It was another unbearable time.
The author paced back and forth in his home; he was truly afraid. Hai Rui wasn't easy to deal with. He shouldn't have agreed to Song Xin's suggestion from the start; he shouldn't have been greedy for this unexpected fortune. He actually trusted Song Xin and thought they wouldn't be able to find anything. But, who would have thought...
Hai Rui was called Hai Rui because it wasn't something that could be tricked by someone like him!
"What should I do? What should I do? " Because of his guilty conscience, the author gave Song Xin another phone call. But, Song Xin did not pick up.
Even though she didn't believe that Hai Rui had anything else to offer, she cunningly chose not to pick up the author's phone call. That way, she could reduce the risk of being discovered.
In reality, the fact that Hai Rui was able to take screenshots and discover that a few people had written the same book at the same time was already beyond her expectations. Who would have thought, Hai Rui would have more to offer.
Soon, 8pm arrived.
As a spectator, the netizens were ready to receive new evidence. They wanted to see what else Hai Rui had to offer.
They never expected to see such an exciting battle. No, this wasn't a simple battle, it was about to become a huge mystery.
The timing was just right. Hai Rui's official website also released an update. The newest content was a video.
In the video, there was an editor from a famous online literature website. Beside her was a computer that was logged into the website's management system. Of course, what she took out was only something that could be displayed in front of the public. Actually, it was something that people in the industry could easily understand.
In the video, she was working on a chapter of a book that had also been finished a few years ago. Yet, she was able to replace it with new content. This proved that the industry was flexible in this aspect.
It had nothing to do with the contract; the content could be replaced at a later stage!
After watching the short video, everyone finally understood what Hai Rui was trying to say.
Everyone had been struggling with the content of the contract, but had never expected that 'The Tracker' had only been added at a later stage. This was also the reason why it was so popular.
It was because a few people could create a novel in a short period of time.
Oh God!
So, this was the truth! The mastermind had only used a smokescreen and almost succeeded in accomplishing something big!
The onlookers were all shocked. They had thought that this was a simple case of plagiarism, but they did not expect that there were so many schemes and secrets hidden in it.
After the truth was revealed, everyone fell silent!
It didn't take long before Fang Yu accepted an interview from the media and made a concluding statement about the incident.
"Hai Rui is sure that everyone has seen the truth of the matter. I'm sure everyone has a clear idea of the plagiarism of 'The Tracker' and 'The Lost Relative'."
"Hai Rui promised to prove Elder Wu's innocence. So, Hai Rui fulfilled their promise. What about the original author? If I remember correctly, you firmly accused Mr. Hu of plagiarizing your work. If Mr. Hu didn't plagiarize, you would chop off your hands. I hope you remember this promise. I'm still waiting to see the result. "
"Then, there's the mob online. Of course, Hai Rui is already used to it. After all, the majority of people in this world are heartless and brainless. We don't blame those that don't know how to think, because in medical terms, they are mentally retarded. Since that's the case, what's the point of blaming them?"
"Oh, by the way, I also need to give a special mention to the righteous people that are boycotting 'The Lost Relative'. The power of this so-called army of original authors cannot be underestimated. Unfortunately, what you're doing is helping the evildoer! You think you're high and mighty, but in reality, you lack the most basic ability to judge! Speaking of which, you're all high level intellectuals. It's because of your overbearing actions that Elder Wu was forced to die! Trash... "
"If you still have a little bit of conscience, you should find a hole to hide in right now!"
Fang Yu's words were extremely straightforward; he did not try to hide his true intentions!
After all, there were some things online that people couldn't help but get angry. A simple sentence could steal a person's future and even their life.
Could it be that as a human, he couldn't control his own mouth? Couldn't he have a little bit of judgment before speaking and doing things?
"Hai Rui will continue to investigate this matter. As for why the author of 'The Tracker' planned this scheme and who the mastermind was, Hai Rui will not let this matter rest. Of course, the conspirators that tried to stop 'The Lost Relative' from being released can rest for a while. The film will be released tomorrow and we welcome everyone to watch and support us."
After Fang Yu's interview ended, the internet was filled with apologies.
In fact, as everyone's education level increased, people who knew how to reflect on themselves had already become the majority of people.
"Elder Wu, I'm sorry! I'm truly sorry! "
"I never thought that Elder Wu would treat me so unjustly. I'm sorry."
"Although I'm a little embarrassed, let's all go to the cinema and support the film. That's the best way to apologize!"
"That's right, let's go watch the film tomorrow. By the way, the author of 'The Tracker' is really despicable."
Perhaps because he wanted to protect his hands, the original author went into hiding and did not say a word anymore. He had completely forgotten about his previous arrogance. Not long after, a netizen named Little Knife admitted on the internet that she was one of the gunmen. However, she did not know that writing for the gunman would involve such a big incident and that she would be used by someone with ulterior motives.
She even claimed that she had no choice but to do it for the sake of making a living. But, when she heard about Elder Wu's suicide, she blamed herself so much that she couldn't eat or sleep well.
Not only that, she even provided evidence that she had written the story herself. In fact, she even had a copy of the outline in her hands.
Seeing this, wasn't the situation clear enough?
Everything had come to light.
"Elder Wu is innocent. I would like to sincerely apologize to you!"
Even so, the truth had been revealed. But, another question began to plague the public. Why did the author of 'The Tracker' plan such a scheme? Was it because he wanted to get a share of the profits?
But, 'The Lost Relative' had nothing to do with him. How did he think of using it for his own benefit?
This was another question that Hai Rui had left everyone with.
Of course, since Hai Rui said they would investigate, they would definitely get to the bottom of it!
"The matter has finally been resolved. Elder Wu's innocence has finally been proven."
"That's not enough." Hearing Long Jie's cheers, Tangning's expression did not relax. "Don't forget, even if the old man wakes up, he will still suffer from dementia. This time, I will definitely find out who the mastermind is. Let's see how she can hide."
"You still have a plan?" Long Jie asked in surprise.
