Too Bad I Take Things Seriously

He only used the bad luck value on the first group of hackers, which was Liao Xiangming and his crew.

The reason the forum is still paralyzed right now...

Is because Tang Suiming hired another group of hackers.

And according to the "Void Target Seeker" skill, he also found this group of hackers’ addresses.

Additionally.

He submitted all this evidence when he filed the report.

Including the names and addresses of these hackers.

As long as the police take it seriously enough...

They can absolutely follow the trail and catch them all in one sweep.

"That’s good, this time... it’s thanks to the up, otherwise, I really wouldn’t know how to deal with these foreign elements."

Ma Ming quickly sent his thanks.

With a deep sense of emotion.

The forum has been down for several days.

But from the backend statistics, the number of active users daily hasn’t decreased at all.

Even though the forum cannot be logged into.

But those users still try to log in every day to check the forum’s situation.

And many are sending emails to his webmaster email, urging him to restore the forum’s operations quickly.

Actually.

He knows very well what these netizens truly hope for...

Is to get all these criminals locked up.

Hacking might seem cool, but it actually harms the interests of other communities.

Take this incident for example.

The forum not being operational has caused the legal rights of millions of users to be damaged, infringing upon the freedom of network information.

If he had created the forum for profit, this action would already have caused huge economic losses.

The state’s severe crackdown on such behavior is not without reason.

"Once everything is settled, I’ll post on the forum to explain the process of this rights protection case."

After putting down his phone, Ma Ming thought to himself.

Believing that these netizens...

Are also very eager to find out the real insider story behind the forum’s attack.

...

Time gently passes.

Three days later.

Liang City.

A police station.

"Captain Shen, we’ve pretty much checked everything, Tang Suiming’s company... is indeed involved in some gray and black operations."

A policeman, holding an investigation report, approached Shen Dao.

This report...

Was the result of three days of overtime investigation and interviews with numerous "victims."

The company operated by Tang Suiming generates very high revenue.

But the advertising projects...

Were obtained through coercion, bribery, or other improper means, which are serious illegal criminal acts.

Initially.

These "victims" were reluctant to provide many details.

Only after repeated questioning did they reveal Tang Suiming’s misdeeds in detail.

"So many criminal acts by Tang Suiming...?"

Shen Dao took the report.

After reading it, he couldn’t help but show a surprised expression on his face.

He initially thought the other party just hired some hackers to attack the forum.

Unexpectedly, pulling out one thing led to uncovering many others.

So many unexpected gains.

"Captain Shen, this is a big case!"

This policeman took a deep breath, equally excited.

Shen Dao nodded.

However, he appeared relatively calm, thought for a moment, and said, "Continue the in-depth investigation, and collect evidence of Tang Suiming and his company’s illegal and unlawful acts. As for Tang Suiming..."

Pausing.

He continued, "I will apply for detention procedures."

Although the case has become clear.

However...

Tang Suiming’s health condition is really poor, having been hospitalized for treatment.

In the short term...

He is unable to cooperate with the investigation, let alone be detained.

Nevertheless, the necessary procedures must still be followed.

Apply for detention first, and then let him be bailed for medical treatment while awaiting trial, proceeding to court ruling.

"Captain Shen, Interpol has notified us that they have already caught the person. After initial interrogation, the person has confessed to some criminal facts, indeed having transactions with Tang Suiming..."

At this moment.

Another policeman hurried over and reported a situation urgently.

Upon hearing this, Shen Dao’s expression immediately brightened.

Quite excited.

His purpose for this trip...

Was for the matter of Tang Suiming illegally hiring hackers to attack the forum.

If this case is to enter the trial procedure...

A complete chain of evidence is necessary to legally prosecute and accuse Tang Suiming of his crimes.

"Let’s go, prepare to apply for arrest procedures."

Upon confirming this news, Shen Dao was a bit anxious.

Looked at the several policemen beside him.

...

At the same time.

A hospital.

In a ward.

"Mr. Tang, the upper and middle management on the company side have already descended into chaos; do you think we should..."

An assistant crouched by Tang Suiming’s bed, cautiously asking.

On the bed, Tang Suiming...

Did not look well.

For three consecutive days, he kept silent without saying a word.

The company matters...

Were completely ignored, becoming completely hands-off of the responsibilities.

causing extreme chaos within the company now.

"The company?"

On the hospital bed, Tang Suiming suddenly sighed.

He showed a look of utter desolation.

Since talking with the lawyer...

He already knew his fate, very likely spending the rest of his life in prison.

His legal advisor...

After listing all the charges against him, decisively chose to resign.

But before leaving.

He gave him a "piece of advice," suggesting he turn himself in now.

As long as he surrenders before the police find out the facts or proceed with the arrest...

There is a significant chance to negotiate a reduced sentence.

The reduction ranges from one to three years, depending on merit and confession attitude.

Upon thinking this.

Tang Suiming smiled bitterly, his eyes somewhat lost.

Looking at his own miserable appearance.

He murmured, "Should I... turn myself in?"

Everything before him...

was caused by his involvement with that forum.

Who would have thought that the forum administrator would be so bold?

Was able to find his real address, report him directly, and hand all his information over to the authorities.

A while later.

He picked up the phone and called Liao Xiangming.

Wanted to see what Liao Xiangming had to say.

But...

When he dialed, it showed "The phone is turned off," and couldn’t get through at all.

He called more than a dozen times.

None went through.

Not just that.

He called each contact of Liao Xiangming’s hacker team, finding that each one was "turned off."

Couldn’t get through at all.

"This..."

His heart skipped a beat, quickly realizing something.

Either they all collectively changed their phone numbers.

Or...

They encountered some unexpected situation.

In their line of work, the only unforeseen situation is getting caught.

Cold sweat trickled down his forehead, the more he thought, the more uneasy he got.

To know.

Liao Xiangming and his team are abroad!

Even if they were caught abroad...

Then for him, domestically, wouldn’t he be unable to escape disaster?

Moreover.

With the widespread net now, even if he wanted to flee, he wouldn’t get far.

Rather than waiting to be caught.

It is better to take the initiative.

Perhaps...

he could still hope to get out a few years earlier.

"Bring my wheelchair over, take me to the police station."

Tang Suiming took a deep breath, looking at his assistant beside him.

"What?"

The assistant paused for a moment, somewhat doubting his ears.

"To the police station, I want to surrender myself."

Tang Suiming said impassively and slowly.

After three days of hesitation.

He had already made a choice in his heart.

Perhaps...

this is the best solution now.

Otherwise, when the police come to the door, it would be too late.

At the same time.

To mitigate his penalty as much as possible, he mentally listed all his criminal activities.

Ensured that there was nothing missed.

...

That afternoon.

Liang City.

A certain police station.

Captain Shen received the arrest warrant approved from above, and was about to head to the hospital with officers.

When he bumped right into Tang Suiming.

"Captain Shen, I... I’m here to turn myself in."

Tang Suiming was seen sitting in a wheelchair.

Entirely miserable.

His face pale.

Appearing to be on the brink of death.

Upon meeting.

Tang Suiming didn’t beat around the bush, directly stating, "After these days of reflection, I increasingly feel the weight of my crimes, unbearably ashamed, so I came to surrender, hoping... to receive lenient treatment."

"Surrender?"

Captain Shen was taken aback by the scene, also a bit unresponsive.

He was just preparing to go out and arrest him.

Tang Suiming then delivered himself right to the door.

Yet...

Legally speaking, this kind of behavior does indeed count as surrender!

According to the litigation law.

If Tang Suiming doesn’t commit extremely heinous criminal acts, he should be entitled to a sentence reduction.

These heinous criminal acts...

Refer to acts motivated by evil intent, such as murder, dismemberment, abuse.
