Chapter 240 A Loan for a Bright Future (9)

"Changqing, are those two really your classmates?"

Second Uncle led a group of people over and asked curiously, "Judging from the way those two people fled in panic, they don't seem like guests who came to visit."

Changqing nodded: "Yes, they had other things to do, so they left in a hurry."

His second uncle believed him without a doubt.

Upon hearing this, he put away his weapon.

"Changqing, if anyone causes you trouble, don't be afraid. In the village, just give a shout, and we old folks will crawl over to back you up, even if it means crawling!"

Second Uncle patted Changqing on the shoulder in a very righteous manner.

The other old men nodded in agreement.

They remembered Changqing's kindness. After all, the village wasn't exactly wealthy, and tens of thousands of yuan was equivalent to most of their life savings for their coffins.

Changqing was both amused and exasperated.

These old men are quite righteous.

"Second Uncle, don't worry, no one can do anything to me."

My second uncle quietly came over and said, "I even called my son. At first, he didn't believe me, but after trying it, he realized that what I said was true. He also did it, and he borrowed even more, over 100,000 yuan. He was even planning to buy a car."

ah?

This was something Changqing hadn't expected.

"Isn't Uncle Chunsheng afraid of being reported to the credit bureau and becoming a defaulter, which would make it inconvenient for him to travel?"

Second Uncle waved his hand dismissively.

"Chunsheng said, as long as you borrow it, it's not like you won't pay it back. You'll pay it back when you have the money. Let's focus on making a living first. As for the inconvenience of getting around, you have a car now, it's very convenient, just drive yourself!"

Changqing remained silent for a moment.

He looked at the other elders, many of whom had a knowing look on their faces, and probably had told the younger generation in their families as well, and many of them had also taken advantage of the offer.

Okay.

It seems that everyone is indeed the most proactive when it comes to making money.

Changqing naturally didn't say much, exchanged a few casual pleasantries with everyone, and then went back.

"System, what's the current situation with Cinda Company?"

On the way, he asked a question.

The system said, "It's getting cold..."

Changqing smiled.

"Where did you get these domineering CEO quotes from? System, you've been reading too many domineering CEO novels. Come on, can you give me a fan-shaped look that's three parts mockery, three parts indifference, and four parts nonchalance?"

The system chuckled, "Host, you know what I mean. Anyway, Xinda can't hold on any longer."

Changqing:...

He turned on his phone and went online to take a look.

My previous posts are no longer there. I don't know if Cinda Company made an effort to delete them, but there are still several trending topics about bugs in online lending apps.

No wonder the system said that Cinda couldn't hold on any longer.

With such a large-scale dissemination, there must be tens of thousands of people taking advantage of the promotion. How big of a fund pool can withstand such exploitation?

The fact that those trending topics remain at the top of the search rankings is likely the work of the system.

In the networked society, systems can do so many things.

Absolutely unbeatable!

Changqing was very satisfied with the result.

He didn't want to judge the right or wrong of those online lending companies, but since they scammed him, they deserved to die!

...

at this time.

The local police station in the jurisdiction where Cinda Financial Company is located.

Mr. Liu, the company's head, was heavily pregnant and panting, yelling angrily at several police officers.

"What are you doing? We've had the police called for so long and you can't do anything! You can't remove the trending topics, you can't freeze the accounts. Do you know how much our company will lose for every second we waste? Can you take responsibility for this?"

He was sweating profusely, his voice urgent and sharp, and those around him couldn't hold him back.

The police officers on the other side also looked grim, but they still carefully tried to calm the person who had called the police.

A middle-aged policeman stepped forward.

"Mr. Liu, we have contacted the relevant departments as you requested, and we believe we will have a result soon. Please wait patiently."

Mr. Liu abruptly flung his hand away, "Wait, wait! How long am I supposed to wait? Who will be responsible for the losses during this waiting period? Are you going to take responsibility? Will you pay us back?"

Their attitude was anything but polite.

At this moment, a young policeman couldn't hold back any longer and stepped forward.

"Mr. Liu, please have some common sense. We have been trying our best to mitigate your company's losses, but technical issues are beyond our control. For example, your company's app had a vulnerability, and it hasn't been fixed for so long, has it? Who can you blame for that?"

"You—" Mr. Liu's eyes widened, about to erupt in anger, but thankfully, the people around him quickly pulled him back.

The middle-aged policeman went over and offered a few words of comfort before telling the group to go back and wait for news.

“We will issue a notice to inform the public that this kind of behavior of exploiting software vulnerabilities to get freebies may constitute an economic crime. Mr. Liu, your company should also fix the vulnerability as soon as possible to avoid greater losses.”

Mr. Liu looked grim.

Issuing an announcement? What good is that? These days, people applying for online loans are using fake information, but their own company can still grant credit lines and automatically disburse the loans.

"This isn't a company vulnerability; it's a criminal act orchestrated by hackers! Your cyber police department must apprehend these criminals! There's definitely more than one perpetrator; it's a full-blown gang!"

"I said with certainty," Mr. Liu said.

The middle-aged policeman nodded. "We are tracking it down. Don't worry, we will notify you as soon as we have any news."

After Mr. Liu and his group left, several young policemen surrounded them.

"Boss, Jinda Financial is clearly an online lending company. Online lending has ruined countless lives..."

The middle-aged policeman frowned and stopped the younger officer, "That's another matter. Let's finish what we're doing first. Have you heard anything from the cyber department?"

The young policeman looked puzzled when this was mentioned.

"No, it spread widely online, and countless times in various groups and privately."

The middle-aged policeman frowned. "What about the IP address that originally posted the message? Surely we can trace that back?"

The young policeman's expression became even stranger, and he shook his head. "The initial post was deleted shortly afterward; it must have been sent by Cinda Company..."

The middle-aged policeman frowned. "That should still be recorded!"

Young police officer: "This is the strange thing. There's no trace of it at all, as if it has vanished."

"Impossible!" the middle-aged policeman asserted.

He didn't believe it, so he took out his phone and called to ask for himself.

A few minutes later.

He fell silent as well.

"Could there be foreign involvement in this? No, we need to report this to our superiors immediately."

The police investigation has made no progress.

There's absolutely no way to fix the vulnerabilities in Xinda's app.

When General Manager Liu returned to the company, he saw a group of technical staff sitting there dejectedly, which made him even angrier.

"A bunch of useless trash! How did I end up raising such a bunch of useless trash!"

He pointed at a group of people and started yelling.

The head of the technical department, sporting dark circles under his eyes, stepped forward to explain, "Mr. Liu, we've checked it countless times, and all procedures are normal."

"Normal my ass!"

Mr. Liu grabbed the ashtray on the table and smashed it.

Is this normal? Can loan applicants bypass the approval process and get funds directly? Could the company really suffer such a huge loss?

This is absolutely not normal!

Everyone lowered their heads and remained silent, with only General Manager Liu's heavy breathing echoing throughout the office.

Just then.

Mr. Liu's phone rang, and he answered it casually. Sui Jing's sweet voice came from the phone.

"Honey, I'm back! I'll arrive around 2 PM. Can you come pick me up? Mua~"

Mr. Liu was immediately furious.

"I'm busy! And you better get the hell to the company right now, I have something to ask you!"

He roared and hung up the phone.
