YM778.TV Chapter 380 - Battle of the Young Masters (Part Fifteen)
Everyone held their breath. No one dared to make a sound.
In the video, the young man asked an old man sitting on the sofa, “Uncle Kazuma, are the arrangements I made sufficient? Do we need to do anything else?”
The old man slowly replied, “Get the best lawyer from our Jaban empire. We’ll get rid of Hong Dali this time!”
After this scene, the camera started to pan out. It was clear the camera was leaving the scene.
Soon, Hong Dali stopped the video and grinned as he asked, “Is that sufficient as evidence? If it’s not enough, I still have...”
Feng Yun website’s lawyer was completely paralyzed. “Yes... It’s enough...” But the audience wouldn’t have it. “Young Master Dali, show all the evidence you have. Then we’ll decide how to deal with them!”
“Deal!” Hong Dali said, looking all innocent. “Let me play a few more videos...”
As he spoke, the scene suddenly changed. It was late at night. There were several households, and in each of them, two people sat together discussing. As it was a distance away, the discussion topic was not specific. But the eight members of the jury already knew. “It’s the jury! It’s the software source code review team! They are... This... They are accepting bribes!”
“Is this evidence enough?” Hong Dali smiled and turned off the projection. Then, he looked at the time. “Damn. Oh no, oh no!” He started to yell. “Xinxin, lackeys, it’s time. Let’s go, quickly. We won’t be able to make it if we’re late!”
“Eh?! It’s time?!” Tang Muxin stood up among the crowd, shocked. “Let’s go, let’s go. We won’t be able to make it if we’re late!”
Disregarding everyone else, they stood up from their seats and started running outside.
Who could stop Hong Dali? Soon, a bunch of people had left.
After they left, there was a sudden outburst in the court!
If the earlier scene was described as a furious storm, then the current scene would be earth-shattering!
That created an uproar. “My god, I thought that Feng Yun website had just committed piracy! Who would have thought that they copied directly!” “That’s right. They copied 51% to 52%. That’s not just pirating it. That’s upright shamelessly copying! They just changed some things and claimed that they developed it!” “What the heck. I study programming. If that’s the case, I can also copy the code directly, change it a little, and say that I researched and developed it by myself!” “Yes, yes. If they can do that, how dare they claim that they researched and developed it themselves. They can just wait for someone to create something new, and just visit their company and copy the coding!”
It was still okay for the audience. After all, they were not well acquainted with the Jabanese boss of Feng Yun website. They only thought of how terrible this was! If that was okay, who would come up with new innovations? Everyone could just copy them!
But in the online literature industry, it was chaos!
It was due to the Luo Xue incident!
One of the authors: “Damn! I was wondering how they could have sold Luo Xue. It turned out that the Japanese were backing them up! We can’t endure this! They didn’t even treat us as human beings!” “That’s right, I wondered what happened that time. If Young Master was using this to create hype, they never had the intention of taking care of Luo Xue’s family. It was Young Master Hong Dali who lent a helping hand!” “Damn it. We have to do something about it. Everyone, spread this piece of news online! Quick!” “Okay, I’ll do it immediately!”
In the various authors’ group chats—
“Latest news, a Jabanese man is backing Feng Yun website, they don’t treat people with respect! Before Luo Xue was laid to rest, they sold him for money! They cheated one million from Young Master. It was Young Master who took care of Luo Xue’s family eventually!”
“Heck, is that true? It’s unbearable! Brothers, come, let’s fight!”
“Damn it, I’ll cease to update my book immediately. I’ll do nothing but scold them! Fuck, we don’t want their money!”
“Me too, me too!”
In an instant, countless people started single chapters on Feng Yun website. All the chapters pointed the arrowhead at the Jabanese behind Feng Yun website.
Topic: Important announcement, ceasing updates!
Content: Dear readers, I had promised before, unless it was due to unforeseen circumstances, I would not end this book abruptly. But I regret to inform everyone today that this is the end of the book!
Perhaps everyone is curious about why I ended it so abruptly. I hopped over to Feng Yun website as they offered me a price that was impossible to refuse. But now I found out that the Jabanese are backing them! If the relationship had been good before this, there are plenty of joint ventures around and it’s not surprising for Heavenly State and Jaban to have joint investments. But the Jabanese behind this website sold Luo Xue’s copyright!
That is absolutely unbearable!
Money is good. But I cannot betray my conscience for money! Brothers, we’ll see you at Zhong Dian!
Topic: Damn Jabanese, looking down on us! Brothers, let’s go!
Content: Those damn Jabanese had been looking down on us all along. Luo Xue passed away while working hard for his family. But not only did Feng Yun website not give his family a cent, but they also sold Luo Xue’s copyright to Young Master Hong Dali for one million! I don’t know who would be able to agree with that, but I am definitely not okay! Brothers, we’re leaving ahead of you. See you at Zhong Dian website!
...
Such single chapters sprouted like bamboo shoots after the rain, and at least one-third of the books’ latest chapter update was of similar content. And the numbers continue to increase!
Feng Yun website’s headquarters, the entire editorial department was a mess. “It can’t be suppressed any longer. We can’t delete everything in time. All the authors are posting chapters to scold us!””What should we do? Should we continue deleting them? We can’t delete them all!””This is it, it’s finished, there’s no way to control public opinion!”
The chief editor was sweating as he yelled, “Delete! Delete everything! Don’t let more readers find out! Delete quickly ah ah ah ah! Otherwise, it will be too late! If Young Master finds out...”
...
In the group chats for Feng Yun website authors—
Author 1: “Brothers, I’m really sorry. My family is in urgent need of money. But I still have a conscience. I cannot bear the fact that they don’t treat us as human beings. We’re still brothers even when you go to Zhong Dian. I’ll take my leave first!”
Author 1 left Feng Yun website’s authors’ group chat.
Author 2: “What the heck, he left so quickly. Wait for me! Brothers, we can work hard for them for the sake of earning money. But we will not be traitors! After Luo Xue passed away, not only did the Jabanese not help his family, they even made use of his copyright to earn one million from Young Master. I can’t stand it!”
Author 2 left Feng Yun website’s authors’ group chat.
Author 3: “Aye, I still have more than a million words before my book can be completed. It’s a pity. Sorry readers. I’m going to go upload a single chapter before I leave!”
Author 3 left Feng Yun website’s author’s group chat.
...
“Chief editor, what should I do! A large number of authors are quitting!” “Ya, chief editor, I have more than 300 authors in this group, and more than 120 have left!” “Think of something chief editor! If not, our website will be completely abolished!” “Chief editor, chief editor, what are you doing?”
Chief editor: “Think of what idea?! The soldiers are defeated like the mountain has fallen. There is no hope! No hope!”
...
In the various readers’ group chats—
Reader 1: Have you heard? Feng Yun website’s backing is a Jabanese. Damn, I was wondering how they could have sold Luo Xue’s copyright. These Jabanese don’t treat our people like human beings!”
Reader 2: “I heard. Damn them. Even if there is not a single book online, I will never visit Feng Yun website!”
Reader 3: “Forget it. I have wronged Young Master. Hur hur hur. I thought he was trying to use this to make news. I only realized now. I’m so stupid. I shall go gift Luo Xue now. As much as I can! I’d be too embarrassed to face my hometown!”
Reader 3 gifted 100,000 Zhong Dian coins to Luo Xue. “Brother, sorry, I’ve misunderstood Young Master. The money is not a lot, and it’s probably nothing to Young Master. This is for you. Farewell. I hope this will be of some help to your family!”
Reader 4: “Me too, I’ve misunderstood Young Master too. Aye... I’ll go gift now!”
Reader 4 gifted 50,000 Zhong Dian coins to Luo Xue. “My financial situation is not so good. This is the best I can do. Hope it’s not too little!”
Reader 5: “Enough. I just gifted Luo Xue. Let’s go gather more people to come over from Feng Yun. The more, the merrier. Let everyone see that the people from Heavenly State are not soft persimmons 1 . Let them pay the price for their actions!”
Reader 6: “Me too, I’ll go too!”
...
Feng Yun website.
The technician rushed to the general manager’s office and shouted, “GM Liu, we’re in trouble! The IP volume on our website is dropping like crazy! From two million to less than 50,000, and it’s still dropping! GM Liu, what should we do!”
“What should we do? What else can we do?!” GM Liu was anxious like an ant on a hot pan as he circled his office. He was wet with sweat. He thought for a while and yelled. “Secretary! Where’s the secretary?! How are things in court? What has happened to have caused this?!”
The secretary could barely stand properly. “GM... GM Liu, court... the court... Hong Dali has produced important evidence. The judgment is about to be passed...”
