Chapter 53 World 2 [23]

Jing Ke has strong execution ability, and her overwhelming hacking skills allowed her to pack up and move all the relevant data over in just one night.

But this is not enough. Tax issues alone cannot send those people to jail.

Thinking of the death certificate he saw on a certain website, Jing Ke couldn't help but breathe heavier, as if he had realized the weight of life at some moment.

Could it be that two lives just disappeared silently like that?

No, this won't do. Every life matters. They deserve a better future, not one ruined by a bunch of scum like this.

Jing Ke vaguely recalled certain scenes, as if there was once a person who held her hand and gave many people the opportunity to change their destiny through learning.

Who is that person? Is it Shao Qing? She seems to have always been doing charity work...

Jing Ke's attention was distracted for a moment, but it was only for a brief moment. The next second, she continued to study the flow of funds, trying to find all those who ignored the law through the flow of funds.

This search made Jing Ke stay up all night, and her originally fair and delicate face had a layer of faint dark circles, which added a touch of decadent beauty to her look.

"Do you want to take a break? You can submit some evidence first. Investigation takes time." After discovering that Jing Ke had not slept all night, Shao Qinglue pulled Jing Ke up from the chair with some force.

"It's nine o'clock in the morning. You should go to bed right now and sleep until five o'clock in the afternoon... Get up at three o'clock, and then we'll go out to eat." Shao Qing said as he pulled him onto the bed.

"Where's your lunch?" Jing Ke asked.

"I'll order takeout for my lunch, you don't have to worry about me." Shao Qing pushed him down on the bed and covered Jing Ke with the quilt.

"Didn't you say, since you possess a human body, you must abide by human rules? Everyone sleeps eight hours a day. I don't ask you to make up for the eight hours, but you must get at least six hours of sleep."

"Go to bed now. I'll wake you up when the time comes." Shao Qing said, pressing the quilt on Jing Ke's body and covering her eyes with his hands in a tough manner, without giving Jing Ke any chance to refute.

Jing Ke was a little uncomfortable with Shao Qing suddenly starting to care about her, but after her vision was blocked, she closed her eyes obediently.

Seeing that Jing Ke was obedient, Shao Qing moved his hand away and took two steps forward to pull the curtains.

"Good night, have a good sleep." Shao Qing said softly, and closed the door when he left.

-

Under Shao Qing's tough attitude, Jing Ke could only maintain the good habit of going to bed early and getting up early.

After obtaining most of the tax information, Jing Ke spent another three days turning the original complaint letters for more than 30 people into complaints for more than 80 people.

After a simple mathematical calculation, Jing Ke found that the amount of tax that this group of people alone needed to pay was more than 3 billion yuan.

Among the ten people with the largest amounts, each needs to pay an additional amount of more than 100 million yuan.

Such an amount of tax backpay also indirectly shows how profitable the entertainment industry is, and why those people would treat themselves as goods for the resources within the industry.

It’s all about money, money moves people’s hearts.

After sighing briefly, Jing Ke took the juice handed to her by Shao Qing, unscrewed the bottle cap and gulped down two gulps.

"The information has been almost sorted out. Do you want to take a look first?" Jing Ke said, and made room for him.

Shao Qing did not refuse. He bent down and looked at the organized documents on the desk, picked one at random and clicked on it.

The information Jing Ke compiled was very complete. Although the collection process was somewhat illegal, there was not a single transfer record that she had forged. All of the information in it was real capital flows.

Shao Qing has not learned much financial knowledge, but this does not affect her ability to see problems in the account books.

A crew's daily food expenses are 200,000 yuan? Are they hiring thousands of extras?

That notoriously shoddy TV series actually spent 20 million on costumes and props? Were those white "gorgeous clothes" made of brocade?

After taking a few quick glances, Shao Qing couldn't bear it anymore. There was too much water in it.

Not to mention that in the information compiled by Jing Ke, Shao Qing also saw many seniors whom he truly admired and longed to work with, which made Shao Qing unable to help but doubt the entire entertainment industry.

"By the way, you don't need to release all these things at once. You can release some first and sell the rest to marketing accounts." Shao Qing said, "If the popularity doesn't go away later, use the money you get from the marketing accounts to buy water armies."

Jing Ke made an OK gesture, locked and encrypted his IP, and then sent the complete document to the mailboxes of more than a dozen different government departments.

After making sure that all the information had been successfully delivered, Jing Ke used a secondary account to spread evidence of certain people's tax evasion online.

After following Shao Qing's advice, Jing Ke did not throw out all the evidence at the beginning. Instead, he released the news in the tone of an insider that some artists would be banned for tax evasion.

Jing Ke did not directly write who the artist was, but used letters instead, pretending to be mysterious and playing the role of a riddle man, which quickly aroused the curiosity of netizens.

After the popularity had grown for a while, Jing Ke released a few invoices with outrageous prices but very formal appearance.

When tax evasion is linked to celebrities, it has attracted considerable attention.

Soon, because the invoices were not coded strictly enough, the photo editing master restored the specific crew names.

Compared to rumors that popped up from nowhere, netizens obviously believe more in some hidden information that was "decoded" later.

As a result, the news released by Jing Ke at 1:30 in the afternoon became a related entry and became a hot search in less than two hours.

After seeing the word "explosive" following the hot search term, Jing Ke, under Shao Qing's guidance, pretended to be an insider and traded with certain marketing accounts.

Relying on clear invoice photos, Jing Ke easily made two million from the marketing account's pocket.

Even more dramatic things are yet to come. Just when Jing Ke was about to stop and continue to bully other artists, someone who claimed to be the agent of the artist involved came to Jing Ke and wanted to pay him to shut up.

"Shao Qing, how much money is appropriate for me?" Jing Ke had no similar experience and could only seek help from people in the circle.

After thinking for two seconds, Shao Qing gave the answer, "He's a top star, so let's ask for five million."

The strength of first-line stars is really strong. After hearing the five million, they agreed immediately without bargaining for a penny and asked Jing Ke for his bank card account number.

"They should have connections in the bank and can look up your personal information through your card number." Shao Qing warned, "Be careful not to leak your personal information."

"That's fine. I'll write them a small app and let them click on a link to pay. I'll make the money go through a few rounds abroad before it finally reaches their account in China."

Jing Ke said confidently, and in less than three minutes he sent the processed transfer webpage to the other party.

bite--

After seeing the text message about the five million yuan being deposited, Jing Ke couldn't help but arch her eyebrows. She turned her head to look at Shao Qing who was sitting next to her. Her amber eyes were filled with smiles and anticipation for praise. "Shao Qing, look, we've made another five million yuan."

"I saw it, it's great." Shao Qing said, and for a moment he had the urge to touch Jing Ke's head.

It is indeed easy to fleece the wool of first-line stars, but Jing Ke was very clear about his purpose and did not suppress the news just to make a few more millions.

Half an hour after the money arrived, Jing Ke guest-starred in a marketing account and posted the key evidence of those people's tax evasion. He also took out one million from the seven million he had earned before to attract traffic and increase popularity.

Today is Monday, and office workers who don’t want to go to work like to slack off at this time.

Having a cup of milk tea to replenish energy during afternoon tea time, and taking out your mobile phone to check if there is any new gossip recently, this is what a qualified worker does.

With just a simple refresh, the glaring evidence appears right in the latest and hottest posts.

When ordinary office workers see that celebrities can earn more money in one day than they can earn in their entire life, they are so angry that they almost bite their milk tea straws into pieces.

The stimulated office workers no longer bothered to pretend to be busy to please their leaders. They rolled up their sleeves and started typing at a speed comparable to that of project DDL.

It's okay for ordinary office workers. At most, they just can't stand those celebrities who can make so much money but don't pay taxes seriously. Some of them are just simply dissatisfied and angry.

But it’s different for those fans of artists who chase their idols while working. Many of them only earn 5,000 or 6,000 yuan a month. After deducting the cost of living, they only have a few hundred yuan left each month.

And most of the thousands of dollars of surplus money was spent on supporting a certain artist. Regardless of whether they could use it or not, they would just buy things endorsed by the artist.

But in the end, I saved money from my teeth to support the artist, fearing that he would be looked down upon due to poor sales. But when I looked up, I found that my beloved brother could make the money I would need to work hard for a lifetime in just one day by taking a few photos.

Shock, disbelief, doubt, rage, despair, hysteria.

Fans with a certain level of financial strength have more complex emotions. After realizing the huge gap between their income and that of the artists, their rationality suddenly comes into play. They immediately stop following the artists and turn against them. Their aggressiveness is many times stronger than that of the original black fans.

After an afternoon of deliberation, seven of the top ten trending searches were related to tax evasion by celebrities in the entertainment industry.

As netizens' calls for a thorough investigation of a certain celebrity grew louder and louder, some departments that still wanted to play it safe and drag out the matter no longer dared to ignore the email containing several gigabytes of data, and began to consult their superiors layer by layer for solutions.

During the period when public opinion was fermenting, Jing Ke discovered that fifteen of them, while checking for loopholes, all liked to transfer money to one place.

After an in-depth investigation, Jing Ke discovered that the owner of the account was a very ordinary small supermarket.

If I have to say something special about this supermarket, it would probably be that it is close to the national border and it is said to have many foreign specialties.

Could it be that these fifteen people love foreign specialties so much that they want to eat them once every two weeks?

No, this is totally wrong. Each transfer is in the tens of thousands. What kind of specialty is so profitable? Could it be something smuggled?

Jing Ke touched his chin and began to investigate in depth what kind of entity was behind this small supermarket, and whether it was possible that they made profits by smuggling gold or other things.

"Director Hua, don't say I didn't warn you. Over a dozen different government departments received emails containing numerous account books and invoices at the same time on the same day."

"If you have any unresolved financial matters, you must make the necessary payments within this week. This matter has wide-ranging implications, and the higher-ups are considering using this opportunity to intervene and clean up the organization."

A voice with a hint of majesty came from the microphone of the mobile phone, making Director Hua, who was arranging the shooting of the tribute film, look pale.

"Do you know who is targeting me?" Director Hua asked in a low voice.

He finally became the chief director of the tribute film. If tax problems arise at this critical juncture, it is possible that someone else will be asked to shoot the next film.

"It's difficult to find out. The person on the other end must be a network expert. Even professional cyber police can't track the specific address." said the person on the other end of the phone.

"I can only tell you that the information they found is very comprehensive. Such a massive amount of data will take at least several months to prepare. They might be your competitor at the beginning of the year. The position of chief director of the tribute film is highly sought after."

The person on the other end of the phone gave a reminder based on his own experience, which perfectly prevented Director Hua from running further and further in the wrong direction.

Similar conversations also happened with other people, leading many artists to mistakenly believe that as long as they paid the money before the official announcement came out, there was still a chance to remedy the situation.

But will Jing Ke really give them this opportunity?

After the incident had been going on for nearly a week, more than a dozen GB of files appeared on Jing Ke's computer.

Some of these account books were not found before, but more of them were evidence of certain black market transactions, which was enough to put the fifteen people involved in the case behind bars or even sentence them to death.

Because it involved items subject to strict crackdowns, it took Jing Ke a whole week to confirm what they had done.

"What? They smoke that stuff?" Shao Qing couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Jing Ke dug out something new.

"Are you sure? I remember he was an anti-drug ambassador last year..." Shao Qing couldn't help but swallow dryly. Are they crazy? Once you get involved with that kind of thing, it will only harm others and yourself! Haven't they studied modern history?

"Yes, I spent some time to find their smuggling routes abroad. These things can be sold legally in some countries, so they don't take it seriously."

Jing Ke also knew the seriousness of the matter and said in a serious tone, "Shao Qing, this kind of evidence is not suitable for posting online. I plan to send it to the relevant departments with my real name."

"Can't we remain anonymous? Just like a week ago?" Shao Qing frowned, not quite agreeing with Jing Ke's decision.

Once drugs are involved, no matter which government department it is, they will be extremely cautious and will never dare to conceal the information.

"Okay, but I found a lot of useful information by following the clues. It would be best if these information could be provided to the police in real time. Otherwise..." Jing Ke briefly explained why he had to do this.

As a system, Jing Ke needs to use a lot of energy before it can have an impact on the current world before it binds to the world's native inhabitants.

After binding with Shao Qing, she only needed to use one tenth or even one hundredth of it to do the same thing.

But this time there was a slight exception. The melon Jing Ke found was much bigger than she had imagined.

If one wants to eradicate the cancer that has taken root in the country, the energy required is somewhat close to Jing Ke's current reserves. If it is used up, the help she can provide to Shao Qing will be relatively limited.

"If I cooperate with the police, I can change the world through them, and the energy required will be reduced by more than half," Jing Ke concluded.

Shao Qing nodded, seemingly understanding, "The energy you need is my luck, right?"

Jing Ke: "You can understand it this way."

"That's easy. You just need to take away some of my luck in advance. Anyway, my luck has been pretty good recently, so a little less won't be a problem." Shao Qing said.

"I don't mind you cooperating with the police, but it will bring a lot of dangers," Shao Qing added.

How cruel those drug traffickers who live on the edge of a knife are can be seen from the fact that after the death of a drug enforcement police officer, his photo and name can only be made public if he has no blood relatives within three generations.

Jing Ke is now a flesh and blood person who needs to eat, drink water and sleep. If she is stabbed twice by someone on the street, her life will be in danger.

Shao Qing admitted that after Jing Ke did so much for her, she had given him more and more trust, and even developed a sense of dependence on Jing Ke.

"The police should provide corresponding protection, so there is no need to worry too much." There was a hint of thought in Jing Ke's amber eyes.

"Only two-thirds of your luck has returned. The remaining one-third will take some time to recover. If you give it to me in advance, your luck will decline in the near future, and everything you have done before may be in vain."

"Don't worry, I know my limits. If it's really not enough, I can borrow some of your luck in advance through a contract." Jing Ke comforted her, hugged Shao Qing and patted her back.
