Chapter 54 World 2 [24]
The real-name reporting that Jing Ke mentioned does not mean rushing to the police station with a bunch of evidence and loudly saying that I want to report someone for gathering to take drugs.
Instead, he relied on his excellent skills to hack into the office computers of relevant provincial officials, posted the most direct transaction evidence on them, and left his ID photo and contact information.
Thinking that Shao Qing was very worried about his safety, Jing Ke added a list of people who were aware of his identity, indicating that his identity information could only be told to these people and could not be disclosed to anyone else.
If her information is leaked, then the information that was sent in a package may also be leaked due to some negligence.
This list was drawn up by Jing Ke after investigation. If there is any related arrest operation, they will definitely be the commanders and backbone force.
More importantly, they are absolutely loyal to the people and will not sell Jing Ke's information for their own selfish interests.
The hacking of a provincial-level official's office computer is already a serious matter and may lead to the leakage of important state secrets.
When the cadre saw the extra files on his computer, he widened his eyes and took several deep breaths before he controlled the overly inappropriate expression on his face.
As the person in charge, she is very clear about what this complete chain of evidence means.
If they had used their previous method of going undercover and lurking for years, it would have taken a huge amount of manpower, material resources and time to obtain such a complete chain of evidence.
However, the provincial officials did not rashly believe what was in the information. Instead, they went to relevant information websites and looked up information related to Jing Ke.
He was born in a coastal city in China 25 years ago and was taken abroad at the age of three. His overseas experience is unknown, but he has never obtained overseas citizenship.
According to customs records, Jing Ke returned to China less than a month ago and settled in Haishi, a very bustling and prosperous city.
After returning to China, he spent nearly 100 million yuan to acquire a poorly managed entertainment company and changed its name to Xinsheng Entertainment Co., Ltd. He is currently adjusting the internal personnel and seems to be planning to develop in the entertainment industry.
The limited information made provincial officials even more hesitant to trust her easily, but she was also unwilling to miss the opportunity to eradicate the cancer.
The cautious provincial officials simply called up everyone on the list at the back, started a video conference, and shared the information that was delivered to them.
Cadre No. 1: Our comrades lurking in the enemy base camp have passed back some similar information, which matches this complete chain of evidence. This information is very likely to be true.
Cadre No. 2: Can we really trust a Chinese national who has lived overseas for many years? What if she's a decoy deliberately placed by the enemy? If we act, our comrades who have been lurking for over a decade will be in danger. The risk is too great, and we can't afford to lose.
Cadre No. 3: Such a good opportunity cannot be missed. If we eradicate this gang as soon as possible, we can indirectly save tens of thousands of people!
Cadre No. 4: This involves overseas forces, so the diplomatic department definitely needs to coordinate first. This matter cannot be rushed, and we must take steady steps.
Cadre No. 2: My personal suggestion is that we should conduct more investigation and assessment. Directly hacking into a cadre’s computer is not something that a law-abiding citizen would do.
Cadre No. 3: I'm not entirely sure. Jing Ke must have done some research beforehand to be able to deliver the information accurately. Her identity information is also included. I think she's very sincere about wanting to cooperate with us.
Cadre No. 5: Can we have a direct conversation with Jing Ke? Why is she sending so much information? Is she trying to gain a position? Or does she need a fixed allocation of resources?
Provincial-level official: There will be a call later. I can try to communicate directly with Jing Ke.
Cadre No. 1: Okay, you can contact us directly and synchronize the call content to us directly.
-
The meeting was called urgently, so Jing Ke was in the kitchen preparing today's ingredients when she saw a call from an unfamiliar number.
After taking out the Bluetooth headset and putting it on, Jing Ke answered the call directly.
"Hello." Jing Ke greeted politely.
"Hello, Ms. Jing Ke. I saw the email you sent me. Can we talk about the content?" The voice of the provincial-level official came through the headphones.
Jing Ke was also selected when she was hacking computers. The provincial-level cadre she chose was the main force in the front line when he was young. Later, because of injury, he reluctantly retreated to the second line and took over the command work.
This provincial-level official has a firm belief in his heart, a strong ability to empathize, and the courage to break the rules and try new things.
"The information inside is what I collected through the Internet. If you need it, I can provide more information, even the real-time location of those people." Jing Ke didn't say anything nonsense and directly threw out his biggest chip.
"You should have carefully read the information before calling, and perhaps have verified the authenticity of the information I provided through other means."
There was silence on the other end of the line for a moment, and then three minutes later, he spoke again. "Yes, but I want to know why you did this? As far as I know, you've lived abroad for a total of twenty-two years. Your memory of China should be almost non-existent, right? Can I ask why you did this?"
"Yes, so I need to establish roots and develop in China as soon as possible. I plan to take over an entertainment company in China, and then expand the business and strive to become the number one in the industry."
"I took a brief look at my competitors and found that they all had dirty hands, so I wanted to seek cooperation with the government to send all those criminal enemies to where they belong."
Jing Ke lowered her eyes and glanced at the potato strips cut into thin strips on the chopping board. After rinsing them twice to remove the starch, she began to drain them.
"Is this your exchange? Do you need government support to start an entertainment company?" The provincial official's tone was filled with confusion.
Since Jing Ke has such powerful hacking skills, why doesn't he develop advanced systems and research some more cutting-edge technologies?
It seems like a waste of talent to develop in the entertainment industry, just like shooting a missile at a bird, what a waste.
"I can say that I hope the relevant departments can relax the requirements when reviewing my company's works. I want to shoot some innovative subjects and don't want my desire to express myself to be constrained by layers of review," said Jing Ke.
"Also, I hope the relevant departments can step up their efforts to crack down on those marketing accounts that dare to say anything for money. The cost of spreading rumors online is too low. It would be best if the relevant laws and regulations could be improved."
"If the information you provided is true, we can grant you certain privileges. As long as it does not violate the law and does not promote bloody violence, I will appear and negotiate with the relevant departments." The provincial official quickly responded.
In her opinion, the demands raised by Jing Ke were not excessive, and the country was already willing to intervene in the entertainment industry.
"Apart from this, do you have any other requests?" asked the provincial official.
"I want my information to be kept absolutely confidential. I don't want anyone outside the list to know. I value my personal safety very much." Jing Ke said, "I don't need any credit. Various media reports also make me invisible."
"Of course. We will encrypt your information. No one can see your detailed file unless they are at my level." The provincial-level official agreed immediately.
“But our protection for you is limited to within the country. If you go abroad, you need to report to us and apply at least three days in advance,” the provincial official added, glancing at the text messages from other colleagues.
"If you have any needs in the future, you can tell us. We will not forget anyone who has made a contribution."
Provincial-level cadres have a broad vision and think a lot.
If Jing Ke really had such superb hacking skills, she only needed a computer and an Internet cable to find a chain of evidence of a crime that involved such a wide range of people.
Then Jing Ke is definitely a national treasure-level talent. Such talents must be well won over and must never be taken away by foreign forces.
"You should be able to find out who I am close to. Shao Qing is the only reason why I settled in the country. I don't want her to get into any trouble." Jing Ke added.
“I understand. Let’s discuss it. We’ll contact you within three days,” said the provincial official.
After finishing this communication with the provincial-level cadres, Jing Ke casually opened a music player and continued to concentrate on cooking.
-
In Jing Ke's plan, her identity information will only be known to important people, so the risk of her identity being leaked is very low.
In addition, Jing Ke does not need any merits or recognition. She only needs to use this method to reduce the resistance to her intervention in the world.
Regardless of whether the entire gang was wiped out or some individuals slipped through the net, she would not appear in any public reports or internal documents.
In order to reassure Shao Qing, Jing Ke did not hide the fact that he had a direct conversation with the provincial-level cadres, and also told Shao Qing that the provincial-level cadres had decided to cooperate with him three days later.
"But I still feel it's very dangerous." Shao Qing has made guest appearances in some related film and television themes, so he has been exposed to some real information.
The methods used by those drug dealers were truly horrific. Thinking back on it now, Shao Qing still feels uneasy.
"It's okay, I can crack all their contact methods that require network and signals, and I have made other arrangements. If my name information is sent out, it will be automatically replaced with another person's the moment they receive it." Jing Ke comforted her, she could also be very cautious.
"Is it still possible to do this?" Shao Qing was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but when he thought about Jing Ke being a high-dimensional being, he silently dispelled his doubts. "Then whose personal information did you replace it with?"
"It's Xu Yin's turn." Jing Ke said honestly, "If Xu Yin was attacked by unknown persons, then the authorities didn't keep it secret well enough."
"But the risk is very small. The crackdown on drug traffickers in China is still very powerful. The things you're worried about are more likely to happen abroad." Jing Ke blinked and asked cautiously, "Shao Qing, you don't mind me doing this, right?"
Shao Qing shook his head slightly, his expression showing a hint of indifference. "I'm not a selfless person. Rather than you getting hurt, it's better to let Xu Yin get hurt."
Xu Yin was not a good person to begin with. Judging from the information Jing Ke had compiled before, Xu Yin was definitely doing something illegal.
Even if you were really stabbed by a drug dealer on the street, it can be considered as retribution, right?
-
It would take more than three to five days to uproot an entire team, but thousands of front-line personnel would be mobilized, and the provinces, cities and regions involved were also very wide, so the preliminary preparations took nearly a month.
Before the preparations were completed, the authorities released an announcement regarding the tax evasion case of a well-known artist that had attracted much attention online.
I don’t know whether this is to avoid alerting the suspects or because the tax authorities have limited enforcement capabilities.
Of the more than 80 people Jing Ke anonymously reported, only more than 30 were included in the official announcement. Among them, nine people were already receiving free meals three times a day in the police station because they were involved in issues such as embezzlement of public funds and false accounting.
Because Director Hua had strong connections, he only paid a large sum of money and about 200 million yuan in taxes, and no relevant information was dug out by the authorities. In the eyes of netizens, he is still a well-known director who can be included in film and television textbooks.
Jing Ke was a little dissatisfied with this result, so after providing the provincial cadres with the latest information on the gang's movements, she also mentioned it.
Jing Ke said that there are too many people who evade taxes in the entertainment industry. She hopes that relevant departments can increase their crackdown efforts and preferably catch a typical case and crack down on it severely.
"This way, it can also provide cover for your subsequent actions and make those people mistakenly believe that the recent focus is on tax issues in the entertainment industry, rather than the more serious problems hidden under the taxation." Jing Ke offered some personal insights after sharing the latest intelligence.
Thinking that Jing Ke could obtain the intelligence they needed to exchange for the lives of their undercover comrades with just a few clicks, the provincial-level cadres agreed immediately and reported directly to higher-level leaders, indicating the latest demand for national treasure-level talents.
After the senior leader took a look at the submitted report, he approved it with a wave of his hand.
Tax evasion is an illegal act in itself, so isn't it normal to increase the intensity of the crackdown?
It just so happens that there is still a small shortfall in funds for infrastructure next year, so let these high-income people who call themselves idol stars make up for it.
So, while Jing Ke was working diligently as a chef and driver's assistant, the tax crisis that seemed to have calmed down became even bigger.
The official announcement directly stated that every public figure with an annual income of more than 10 million yuan must undergo a new tax audit, which put the state machinery into full motion and operated at an extremely fast speed.
After the news came out, people working in the tax bureau couldn't help crying and started working overtime every day.
But those who are even more devastated than them are the stars who need to pay a large sum of money. After the authorities made it clear that they would conduct a thorough investigation, those people, no matter how powerful their connections are, dared not step forward and be caught as examples.
So there was a panic in the circle for a while, and the artists who were usually active on various platforms also quieted down and began to stay up late to check their income and tax payment status.
As a first-line celebrity who relies on his black and white reputation to stay active, Shao Qing is naturally among the people who need tax audits.
But Shao Qing has always paid taxes in full, and she donated more than half of her income, so she was one of the first artists to pass the tax audit.
In early December, Shao Qing was praised by official media along with seven other public figures who were passionate about charity. An interview was subsequently arranged for each of them, which was pinned to the top of the news for a whole week.
What does it mean to be praised by the authorities when almost everyone in this circle is feeling insecure?
The answer is simple. Shao Qing will become a good citizen who pays taxes according to the law and is officially stamped as such, a role model for people in the circle, and a public figure worthy of everyone's learning.
After being singled out for praise, Shao Qing's commercial value has increased again, and many domestic brands want her to be their spokesperson.
After a careful review, Sister Ke, who was grinning from ear to ear, gave Shao Qing two domestic products with high reputation, quality and popularity.
Although the endorsement fee is just seven figures, which is much lower than those of light luxury brands, the cooperation between the two parties is definitely mutually beneficial.
The first brand shooting location is in Hai City. Shao Qing only needs to take two days to complete the material shooting while practicing sword.
However, the person in charge of the second brand said that he wanted his employees and factories to appear in the advertisement, so the shooting location was changed to Mianyang City where the production factory was located.

"Will you stay here this time, or go with me to Mianyang City for filming?" Shao Qing asked as he sat in the study, holding a script that had been read countless times and even had frayed edges.
Mianyang City is Shao Qing's hometown. The last time she went home to visit her grandmother, Jing Ke needed to follow up on some clues in a timely manner, so she couldn't spare the time to be with her.
"Let's go together. I have already handed over the written program to the authorities. They just need to arrange the actions later. I basically don't need to intervene." Jing Ke hit the enter key and temporarily finished the work at hand.
"Shao Qing, are you free in January? There is a very popular variety show, and the shooting format is similar to immersive script-killing, but this time they also plan to do a live broadcast." Jing Ke asked.
"Immersive script-based killing? Is it that 'Who is the Real Murderer?'" Shao Qing looked up at Jing Ke. "I remember this variety show was quite popular."
Jing Ke nodded. "It's not bad. I have a guest spot on my hand. Do you want to try it?"
Shao Qing tilted his head slightly, a hint of confusion in his eyes. "Did you trade this information for something like that? Isn't this a local variety show? How can the police get involved in this?"
Jing Ke said naturally, "No, I invested 10 million in the program, and they gave me one of the two guest spots in each episode."
"If you weren't going to start filming in February, I would have planned to ask for a permanent guest spot." Jing Ke smiled, "If you're free, I'll put your name up. If not, I'll arrange for another artist from the company to go."
"Huh?" Shao Qing couldn't help but widen her eyes. She heard Jing Ke's words clearly, but when did she start a company? And when did she invest 10 million?
Hadn't Jing Ke always lived with him? The only time they were apart was the two days he went back to his hometown. Could it be that in just two days, Jing Ke had become the boss of the company?
