"Change the ticket?"
When Chen An's total number of votes was about to surpass Mu Lin, Fu Yao gave a reminder.
The Ministry of Information and Network Affairs transferred the three billion votes that originally belonged to you to Mu Lin, so he is still in the lead and will always be in the lead.
Chen An smiled.
"I haven't used technology yet, but the other party used it first. Mu Lin was too impatient."
In fact, Chen An had long known that even with the support of a large number of star masters, he would still not be able to compete with Mu Lin. After all, Mu Lin's foundation was too deep.
Therefore, he planned to use technology to change the votes when the time came. After all, it was Fu Yao who did it and it had nothing to do with him.
But who would have thought that it was Mu Lin who was not confident enough and took action first.
"Haha, since the Ministry of Information and Network Affairs changed the vote, then it's not my fault. Fuyao, prepare the evidence and announce it when it's almost over. I'll see how Mu Lin responds."
Everything was back to normal after that.
The votes between the two seemed very close, but Chen An was unable to surpass Mu Lin, and the difference hovered around 10 billion.
As time goes by, the number of new votes will also decrease. After all, most people who can vote have already voted, and those who have not voted probably do not have the conditions to do so.
"What should we do now?" Chu Xiao mobilized all his connections, but still couldn't beat the other party.
Chen An was very calm and even ate something while waiting.
"Don't worry, there will always be a way out when you reach the mountain."
Chu Xiao was surprised: "Why is there a road in front of the mountain? What does it mean?"
Chen An chuckled: "It's nothing serious, I just said it casually."
At this time, Zhu Die came in and called Chen An over.
"Mu Lin changed his ticket."
Chen An looked surprised.
"I know you're surprised, but Mu Lin has the support of the Ministry of Information and Network Security, so we should have expected this. The key now is how to find evidence that they tampered with the votes."
In fact, what surprised Chen An was how Zhu Die knew that the Information Network Department had changed the vote.
When doing this kind of thing, Mu Lin was very secretive. Only a few core figures knew about it and it would not be spread out.
Chen An seemed to be thinking about something and told Zhu Die not to worry.
"There will always be a way when the car reaches the mountain... there is always a way."
Time passed minute by minute, and when there were only ten minutes left, everyone left the rest area and returned to the Qixingtai, once again being under the spotlight.
At this time, Mu Lin was still leading in the vote count, and the lead was quite large, exceeding 20 billion.
The atmosphere in both camps was completely different, one was silent, the other was lively.
"Brother Xia, I'm really sorry, it seems like there are too many civilians supporting me." Mu Lin's face was full of smiles, and his tone of voice was no different from before, trying to be as kind as possible.
But in the eyes of outsiders, he seemed arrogant and not as kind as usual.
Chen An replied: "Although you are very capable, if you become the Palace Master, how will you deal with Zhou Yao's men?"
Mu Lin: "They were just deceived by Zhou Yao. They can still be saved, so we should give them a chance."
It's just nice talk in public.
The two continued to chat about how to rectify the chaos in the Star Palace, how to resist foreign enemies, etc.
When talking about the reform of the legion, it came to an abrupt end because the voting time was suspended.
The Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Information and Network Security called out the votes loudly with great momentum.
"Commander Mu received over 737,646,292,000 votes, while Minister Xia received over 712,865,349,000 votes. Overall, Commander Mu was far ahead with over 20 billion votes, securing the final victory."
There was cheering at the scene and many people had already started celebrating.
Mu Lin also smiled, waiting for the people around him to propose that he would become the new palace master after refusing many times.
However, at this moment, a piece of news made the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Information and Network Security change his face drastically.
Others also received the news and immediately informed Mu Lin.
After seeing this, Mu Lin's eyes tightened and the murderous intent in them could not be concealed.
"You actually changed the votes?" Yu Jincheng said angrily.
This sentence sparked a discussion, and other people also started talking about it, most of them were very angry.
"Vote-changing is the most shameful thing! Neither Zhou Yao nor Yu Hong dared to change their votes at the beginning."
"The information leaked online is very clear. Someone has hacked into the core system of the Ministry of Information and Network Security and leaked all the voting information. It's very clear."
"It turns out that Minister Xia is in the lead."
Chen An, who was at the center of the discussion, was very calm and was talking to Fu Yao.
“How much did you change?”
I only changed 50 billion.
When Fuyao announced the truth, she also changed the votes. Otherwise, people would find out that even if Mulin didn't change his votes, he would still win, which would give Mulin a chance to turn the tables.
However, leaked information showed that Chen An was already far ahead and there was no frame-up.
At this moment, public opinion was in an uproar.
Chen An looked at Mu Lin, shook his head and sighed: "If you want to be the Palace Master, just tell me directly, and I might let you. Why use such despicable means? Brother Mu, you have impressed me."
Mu Lin's mouth twitched as he defended himself: "Actually, I don't know about this."
He looked sideways in silence.
The Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Information and Network Security immediately understood and took all the blame on himself with a bitter look on his face.
"Everyone, I was worried that Commander Mu would fail, so I changed the vote without permission. I'm sorry, it's all my fault."
Mu Lin angrily shouted, "I have always been an upright person and will not tolerate any filth. Come, take him away and we will investigate the responsibility later."
Everyone present knew that the deputy minister was taking the blame, so no one said much. After all, saying more would be useless.
After waiting for a while, Chu Xiao said loudly, "Since Xia Zuo won, isn't it natural for him to become the Palace Master?"
Someone immediately stood up and retorted, "Don't be impatient. Votes are only one aspect. Character is more important. Minister Xia, many people are skeptical of your character."
The person who spoke was Liu Guang, the new Minister of Culture. He was originally Zhou Yao's man, but was secretly bribed by Mu Lin a few days ago, so he had not been liquidated before.
Chu Xiao scolded: "Xia Zuo's character is not good? What kind of dirty water are you trying to throw?"
Liu Guang spoke calmly, with the air of a frail scholar, "We all know that Minister Xia is fond of women, and there may be some problems in his private life. And private life is always a high-risk area for problems, so I'm worried that Minister Xia will have problems too."
Chen An was unhappy, very unhappy, and really wanted to punch this guy into the sky.
"What the hell is my private life to you? I remember you, a bastard, married six women and kept countless mistresses. Compared to you, I'm nothing but a saint."
Liu Guang choked. He didn't expect Xia Zuo to know so much about him.
But now that he had spoken out, he certainly wouldn't give up. He continued, "I heard you accepted favors from the Chu family, then defected to Zhou Yao for personal gain. After Zhou Yao's downfall, you hypocritically stood against him. Xia Zuo, how can someone like you, who plays both sides and tries to please everyone, be qualified to be Palace Master?"
The firepower was very strong, but Chen An was not a pushover and he immediately fought back.
"You joined Zhou Yao to gather evidence; otherwise, how could you expose him later? But you, Liu Guang, were promoted by Zhou Yao, but later joined Mu Lin for personal gain. If anything happened to Mu Lin in the future, would you also be the first to step forward and impeach him?"
Liu Guang was so angry that he pointed at Chen An and was speechless for a long time.
