Outside the press conference venue for the new drama, colorful flags fluttered, and huge posters displayed the smiling faces of the lead actors, creating an atmosphere of apparent harmony. However, inside the production crew, a suffocating tension permeated the air. With only a few hours left before the press conference began, Ling Yichen and Jun Mo Ran still hadn't found conclusive evidence to completely expose the mysterious figure's conspiracy.
Lin Yue's phone vibrated again; another text message from the mysterious person arrived: "Don't delay any longer. You must leave the production team today, or you and everyone in the team will pay a heavy price." Ling Yichen looked at the message, his eyes revealing anger and resentment: "We will absolutely not let his conspiracy succeed. Lin Yue, keep him calm. Tell him you will announce your withdrawal at the press conference, but you need some time to prepare."
Lin Yue took a deep breath and replied, "I promise you, but I need some time to compose myself. I will give you an answer before the press conference begins."
Meanwhile, the investigation team accelerated its investigation into the media company. Disguised, they infiltrated the area surrounding the company, attempting to glean clues from employee conversations and details such as the company's package delivery and pickup processes. Finally, they discovered a crucial piece of information: the media company had recently been having frequent business dealings with a hacking studio notorious for its expertise in cyberattacks and information forgery.
"It seems the mysterious man's network technology support comes from this hacker studio." Jun Mo Ran's eyes flashed with excitement. "As long as we find evidence of their cooperation, we can wipe out the mysterious man and the media company in one fell swoop."
Ling Yichen immediately contacted the expert who had previously helped track the mysterious man's online activities and explained the situation. The expert suggested that he could try to hack into the hacker studio's servers using technical means to obtain information about their collaboration with the media company, but this would take time and carried the risk of being discovered.
"We have to try, no matter what," Ling Yichen said firmly. "This is our last hope."
Time ticked by, and only an hour remained until the press conference began. No good news had yet come from the experts, while a large crowd of media reporters and fans had already gathered outside the venue, eagerly awaiting the exciting debut of the new drama.
Ling Yichen and Jun Moran stood backstage, watching the busy staff and excited fans, their hearts filled with mixed emotions. They knew that this press conference not only concerned the fate of the new drama, but also the future of the entire production team.
"If there's really no other way, we'll have to reveal the clues we currently have at the press conference to disrupt the mysterious person's plans," Ling Yichen said through gritted teeth.
Jun Mo Ran nodded slightly: "That's all we can do, but we still need to try to find solid evidence."
Just then, the expert finally called: "I successfully hacked into the hacker studio's server and found their emails and documents related to their collaboration with the media company. These documents detailed their entire process of planning to smear the new drama and threaten Lin Yue."
Ling Yichen and Jun Mozhan were so excited that tears welled up in their eyes: "That's great! Quickly send us this evidence."
Upon receiving the evidence, Ling Yichen immediately contacted the police, explained the situation in detail, and submitted the evidence. The police stated they would immediately launch an investigation and take action against the media company and the hacker studio.
At this moment, only ten minutes remained before the press conference began. Ling Yichen and Jun Moran quickly compiled the evidence into a detailed report, preparing to expose the mysterious person's conspiracy at the press conference.
The press conference started on time. The host walked onto the stage and enthusiastically introduced the highlights of the new drama and the main creative team. Ling Yichen and Jun Moran led the actors onto the stage one by one, and the audience responded with enthusiastic applause and cheers.
Just as the host was about to introduce Lin Yue, Ling Yichen suddenly stepped forward, picked up the microphone, and said: "Dear media friends and fans, I am very sorry, but before introducing Lin Yue, I would like to reveal a shocking conspiracy to everyone."
A murmur rippled through the audience, everyone staring at Ling Yichen with curiosity. Ling Yichen cleared his throat and began to recount in detail how his competitors had instructed media companies and hacker studios to maliciously smear and threaten the new drama. As he spoke, he displayed the evidence in his hands, eliciting shocked expressions from the audience and media reporters.
Just as Ling Yichen exposed the conspiracy, the police launched a raid on the media company and the hacker studio. Upon learning the news, the mysterious figure panicked and attempted to flee, but was quickly apprehended by the police.
At the press conference, when Ling Yichen announced that the mysterious man had been apprehended by the police, thunderous applause and cheers erupted throughout the venue. Lin Yue also went on stage and excitedly said, "I will not leave the production team. Let's work together to make this new drama go international and let the whole world see our work!"
However, just as everyone was basking in the joy, a new problem arose. After the press conference, an important overseas partner called, expressing that while he appreciated the quality of the new drama, the previous controversies had left him with concerns about its market prospects, and he needed some time to reconsider the collaboration.
