Chapter 196 Public Opinion Explosion

Edge Building.

Su Mo received the video file sent back by Ivan and read all the contents.

Unsurprisingly, what Lucio and Sonzo Medical discussed were all unreasonable things.

In the original plot, Lucio is such a bad guy who is disguised as a charity and only cares about his own interests.

The so-called foundation is just a tool for him to make money.

The main strategy of the Libeitong Foundation is to first launch a charity project, collect donations, and then work with other parties to invest money in areas with high operability of accounts.

For example, if something costs 500 monthly coins, Lucio will ask people to use 5,000 monthly coins to purchase it, and then make a beautiful account.

In this way, the 4,500 monthly coins became the net profit of the investment object, and then the two parties split the accounts privately, and the public donations were transferred to their own pockets.

As one of the heroines in the game "Dawn", the reason why Taleg is hated by so many players is not only because of her brain-dead Madonna thoughts, but also because of her attitude towards Lucio.

As Lucio's daughter, Taleg knew very well that her father was secretly making money in the name of charity, and was even making money through her animal protection project.

But she didn't care.

She only cares about whether the funds provided by her father are enough and whether her moral values ​​of the Virgin Mary are satisfied. Everything else does not matter.

Su Mo was full of ill will toward these two people, and he just wanted to kill the cow across the mountain.

Now that the key evidence is in hand, it is unreasonable not to put them to death.

Su Mo picked up the phone and called Schenkov: "Hey, brother, I didn't disturb your sleep, right?"

There was no tiredness in Schenkov's voice: "No, I'm working overtime to catch up on the report for tomorrow's work meeting. What's wrong?"

Su Mo: "I remember that the relationship between you and Lucio was not good."

Schenkov: "Well, the consortium behind Lucio and the people behind me are enemies. He has been thinking about my position as a ruling committee member for a long time."

Su Mo sent the video that Ivan secretly shot to Schenkov and said with a smile: "Look at your email, I sent you something interesting."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time.

Suddenly, Schenkov's shocked voice came: "I'll go! Brother, where did you get this video?!"

Su Mo smiled evilly and said, "Don't ask if there are too many. Just tell me whether you are surprised or not."

"You kid can always do something shocking for me." Schenkov hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively, "Do you want me to use this video to get rid of Lucio?"

Su Mo: "For me and for you, this is a win-win situation for both of us."

Schenkov: "But you should know that evidence obtained through such illegal means will not be admitted in court."

Su Mo chuckled and said: "Who will go to court with him? As long as you find an opportunity to publish this video, there is no need to go through judicial procedures. Lucio will have to shed a layer of skin even if he dies."

Schenkov refused without hesitation: "It will definitely not work for me to announce it. There are political rules in the political world. Even if you get someone else's evidence, you must negotiate and deal with it privately."

"If I don't follow the rules, others will deal with me unscrupulously in the future, and it will be chaos."

When he said this, he changed the subject: "But... if this was done by a hacker, then it can't be blamed on me, right?"

Sumer and Schenkov smiled evilly together, like two cunning foxes.

The next day, the city council’s monthly working meeting was held as normal.

Before the meeting started, Lucio sat in his seat and called his son-in-law: "Chenyu, don't worry, I will help you deal with the man named Su at the meeting. Well, you take care of your mercenary group, these exchanges Just give it to your father-in-law."

People entered the venue one after another and the meeting began.

This type of working meeting will be held every month. The heads of each department will report their work status to the city speaker Amir. Each ruling committee member and parliamentarian will also send representatives to evaluate these matters and put forward corresponding proposals.

The reports of other department heads were similar to last month.

Schenkov had more to report. After all, he launched a clearing operation against the crow's nest as soon as he took office and ended it quickly. There were many details that needed to be elaborated.

After Schenkov finished his report, it was the turn of representatives of the ruling committee and members of parliament to speak.

Lucio was one of the representatives. He spoke some official words symbolically, and then began to attack Sumer.

"We all know that Su Mo handled the Xinghai Cinema hostage incident very well, and he should be commended for this, but he seems to have got a little carried away because of this."

"The current situation of Edge Building is very unreasonable in my opinion. Edge Technology currently only has more than 200 people, but it occupies a super building with a total of 100 floors. On average, every two people enjoy one floor. This is What a huge waste of public resources!”

Schenkov pressed the speak button and said calmly: "Edge technology is in its infancy. There are only more than 200 people now, but it doesn't mean there will only be more than 200 people in the future. There is nothing wrong with enjoying a larger office space in advance, right?" "

Lucio coughed slightly and said in a deliberately meaningful tone: "Mr. Schenkov, you and Sumer have a good relationship in private. I know you are in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry first."

Schenkov chuckled and responded: "What's my hurry? He's just a friend of mine. What? The mayor doesn't allow friends?"

"It's you, Mr. Lucio, who chose Ou Chenyu, the leader of the Teeth Tigers, as your son-in-law. Your relationship with the mercenary world is much closer than mine."

Lucio immediately changed the topic: "We are not discussing mercenaries as a group now, but Sumer and his edge technology. Please don't confuse them."

Schenkov was a little impatient: "The contracting work for the Edge Building was decided in court, and the Crescent City Council was instructed to contract for all necessary expenses. If you have any objections, then go to court."

Lucio seemed to have caught some flaw and immediately said: "This is the focus of what I want to talk about next, about a series of expenditure issues in the Edge Building."

"It is reasonable to go to court to require the city council to contract the necessary expenses for Edge Technology to move into the building. But the question is, are all the expenses reported by Sumer necessary?"

He pointed his finger at the document in front of him and yelled righteously: "Excuse me, what are the expenses for this pile of food, drinks and entertainment? Bars, saunas, gyms, and all kinds of luxurious homes that seriously exceed the standard. Even the money to buy game consoles It has to be approved by the city council???”

"Is this how municipal funds are used? Sumer took advantage of the good intentions of going to court and occupied the city council's public funds to facilitate his own enjoyment. Isn't this behavior too much?!"

Schenkov didn't say anything, just stared at his phone.

Lucio thought he was speechless and continued to press: "Mr. Schenkov, don't you think these expenses should be recovered? We are sorry, are you listening to me?"

Schenkov stared at the phone for a long time, then came back to his senses and said blankly: "Oh, I'm listening."

"Tuk-tuk."

Amir clasped his knuckles on the table and reminded displeasedly: "It's a work meeting now, put your phone away."

Members of the different factions from Schenkov laughed.

It would be too arrogant to use a mobile phone during a meeting. Does the director think this is an internal meeting of his own Public Security Bureau?

"Sorry, Mr. City Speaker." Schenkov put away his mobile phone, his eyes were a little wandering, and he glanced at Lucio from time to time, "I just saw a very strange piece of news."

Amir asked in confusion: "News? What news?"

Schenkov looked embarrassed, coughed slightly and said, "Let's have the meeting first. I apologize for being distracted."

Lucio chuckled and said, "Let's take it out and show it to everyone. What wonderful news it is that can distract Mr. Director so much."

"Ah? Stop it." Schenkov scratched his head, looking even more embarrassed, "It's better not to read this news in such a public place."

One of the ruling members joked: "Are you watching an entertainment show? The kind with adult elements?"

Half of the people present burst into laughter, and the serious atmosphere of the meeting became lighter.

Schenkov said shamelessly: "Ah, yes, yes, if you say yes, then it is."

"Tuk-tuk."

"Quiet!" Amir maintained discipline on the scene and frowned at Schenkov, "Show me your mobile phone."

Schenkov looked embarrassed: "Mr. City Speaker, are you sure?"

Amir: "Yes, if you are really browsing information that is not related to work, I need to punish you appropriately for your behavior."

Schenkov said no more, just glanced at Lucio and passed the phone to Amir.

Lucio was completely in the mood of watching a show. He crossed his arms and was extremely happy.

But for some reason, he always felt that there was some strange depth in Schenkov's eyes.

Amir took the phone, opened the first window in the background, and started reading the news.

As he watched, his expression became more and more weird, his brows were furrowed tightly, astonishment appeared in his eyes, and he looked at Lucio from time to time.

Seeing Amir's expression, everyone couldn't help but whisper and discuss.

Lucio was also confused and thought: What's going on? What are you looking at me for?

Amir slowly put down his phone after reading the news. He frowned and thought for a long time, and then said gloomily: "I suggest everyone turn on your phone and browse the latest news headlines. We have a big trouble here."

Everyone realized something was wrong and quickly took out their mobile phones, and the atmosphere became tense.

Lucio also took out his phone to check.

At this time, the Internet hot search list has exploded, and the popularity of one piece of news is rocketing ahead.

When Lucio saw the title of the news, he felt his head buzzing and his eyes went dark.

"The Libeitong Foundation and Songzuo Medical conspired to develop addictive drugs to harm asthma patients!" 》

The news included a video shot secretly from the window. The picture and audio were very clear.

There is also a text version of the summary content below to facilitate readers to quickly obtain information.

The news was published half an hour ago, and according to newspaper editors, the video was posted by an unknown hacker.

Once the video was exposed, it immediately caused a violent sensation in society.

As a long-established charity organization, the Ribeton Foundation can be said to be one of the faces of the Crescent City.

Who would have thought that Lucio, a "philanthropist", is actually a hungry wolf in sheep's clothing, colluding with capital to make money for himself, and even harming innocent patients!

The video spread all over the Internet in a very short period of time, and netizens were everywhere denounced and cursed.

Although the public relations departments of the Libeitong Foundation and Songzuo Medical issued announcements as soon as possible, stating that this was a maliciously synthesized video, they also issued a lawyer's letter stating that the publisher would be held legally responsible.

But this video is so coherent and clear that anyone with a little knowledge of video technology can tell that it cannot be artificially synthesized, it is real.

For a moment, everyone in the conference room looked at Lucio in astonishment.

The meaning in those eyes is - man, it's okay to do this kind of thing, we understand. But was it too careless for you to be recorded with such clear evidence?

Lucio was surrounded by all kinds of eyes. He felt cold and hot all over his body. Unknowingly, sweat had soaked through his clothes.

"Fake! This is all fake! What the hell, I don't know anyone from Songzuo Medical at all!" Lucio tried to defend, but he was so guilty that he didn't believe it and was completely incoherent.

Schenkov responded promptly: "Ah, yes, I saw you and Katsumuraji returning to the municipal building together yesterday, but I don't recognize you today."

Lucio's face turned red and he was too anxious to speak.

At this time, a soldier from the municipal garrison ran into the scene from the background and said in Amir's ear: "There are many protestors gathered outside Royal Street, and the number is increasing, and they all demand that Congressman Lucio be brought to justice." .what should we do?"

Amir thought for a moment with a sullen face, and quickly saw the situation clearly.

He said in a deep voice: "The meeting is temporarily suspended. Congressman Lucio, please go with the people from the Ministry of Interior first and cooperate with the investigation."

Su Mo was sitting in the office, holding a latest model of game console in his hand, farming and watching the news on TV.

The camera was full of people, and the reporter stood in the middle and said loudly: "Friends, viewers, a video exposed by a hacker has plunged the Ribeitong Foundation and Songzuo Medical into a huge scandal. We are now at the protest site."

I saw protesters holding signs everywhere, shouting like a mountain and a tsunami:

"We demand that Congressman Lucio be suspended from all duties and a comprehensive investigation be launched against him!"

"We request the authorities to send an investigation team to the Ribeitong Building. We suspect that the foundation has also illegally used public funds in other projects!"

"This Tingxiao Ling No. 2 is a drug against humanity. Both Libeitong Foundation and Songzuo Medical should be severely sanctioned!"

"Have more illegal drugs been approved in exchange for benefits? We demand an explanation from the authorities!"

The reporter looked at the camera with a serious face: "You can see that the protesters are very excited. Asthma patients are inherently unfortunate due to congenital genes, but there are still people who want to squeeze their hard-earned money from them. This is simply a disgrace to humanity. A huge impact on values!”

"According to reliable information, Sonzuo Medical Director Tsukasa Katsumura has been controlled by the Sheriff. What will be the fate of Representative Lucio who is in the whirlpool? Let us wait and see!"

Su Mo saved the game, put down the handheld device and watched the news with a smile.

"Okay, Ou Chenyu, your father-in-law is in big trouble, what are you going to do next? It's impossible to ignore him~"
