"It's over!"
Ishihara Tano slumped in his office chair.
The stock price crash didn't mean they were bankrupt, but their losses could very well reach tens of billions of dollars.
This was only if they could get through this crisis.
If the hidden enemy continued to attack, and their company remained unable to operate, then their losses would continue to expand until the company went bankrupt.
In that case, their losses would be much greater.
Their family had a lot of debt, and if this continued, they would likely become insolvent.
"Beep beep!"
Ishihara Tano's phone rang.
It was his father, Ishihara Taro, calling.
"Father."
Ishihara Tano said hoarsely as he answered the phone.
On the other end of the phone, Ishihara Taro said in a deep voice, "Son, someone must take responsibility for this matter. Otherwise, the entire family will completely collapse, do you understand?"
Ishihara Tano's expression changed slightly.
"Father, do you mean—"
Ishihara Taro said, "No matter who we offended, we must have offended a very powerful force. We need to do something to appease them."
"Father, they have already forced the liquidation of our stocks. We have already lost nearly ten billion dollars."
"Is that still not enough to appease them?"
Ishihara Tano said tremulously.
Ishihara Taro was silent for a moment before saying, "Maybe it is enough to appease them, maybe not, but we can't afford to gamble. One more collapse and we're completely finished."
"I think it's highly likely that Lin Chen did this. Simple economic losses may not satisfy him."
"Do you understand?
Ishihara Tano's face turned pale.
After a long while, he said, "Father, I understand. I hope the family can take good care of my wife and children."
"Yes."
Ishihara Taro hung up the phone.
Although Ishihara Tano was his eldest son, he was the head of the Ishihara family, and he had to consider the family's interests.
After hanging up the phone, Ishihara Tano made a phone call to explain his last wishes.
He took out a knife.
At the same time, he had someone set up a camera to record a video.
"My name is Ishihara Tano. I made some mistakes in the past. Now, I apologize with my death and ask for forgiveness."
After Ishihara Tano finished speaking, he stabbed the knife into his heart.
Soon, blood gushed from Ishihara Tano's mouth.
His chest was also stained red with blood.
His eyes wide open, he fell into a pool of blood.
A few minutes later, the video was sent to Ishihara Taro's phone.
Ishihara Taro silently watched the video.
His eyes turned red.
"Post this online."
Ishihara Taro said hoarsely.
Soon, the video was uploaded to the internet. The Ishihara family already had a considerable influence, especially now that they were in the eye of the storm, and the video quickly went viral.
"Ishihara Tano actually committed suicide."
"I wonder who the Ishihara family offended. The other party is so ruthless, forcing the Ishihara family to liquidate their positions, and Ishihara Tano even had to come forward and commit suicide to seek forgiveness."
"It's estimated that the Ishihara family offended someone badly. This time, suffering heavy losses isn't enough; they have to show their attitude."
Many people on the internet in East Tokyo were discussing it.
"Beep beep!"
Lin Chen's phone rang.
Lin Xiaoqian was already awake, and Lin Chen was helping her learn mathematics. Lin Xiaoqian was almost finished with her junior high school knowledge.
"Tian Lang, what's the matter?"
Lin Chen asked.
On the other end of the phone, Tian Lang said, "Mr. Lin, something happened in East Tokyo. Ishihara Tano committed suicide."
Lin Chen asked with feigned surprise, "Who is Ishihara Tano?"
Tian Lang: "He is the eldest son of Ishihara Taro, the head of the Ishihara family, and is responsible for many of their family's affairs."
"Why did he commit suicide?"
Lin Chen continued to ask.
Tian Lang thought to himself: Why did he commit suicide? Don't you know?
"The Ishihara family suffered a devastating attack and suffered heavy losses. He did this to appease the other party's anger."
Tian Lang said.
Lin Chen: "I didn't expect that we hadn't even targeted the Ishihara family yet, and the Ishihara family would have such a thing happen."
"It makes it difficult for us to target them now."
Tian Lang said, "Mr. Lin, with this happening, it's really not good for us to continue targeting them now. Otherwise, they might think we were the ones who did it."
"They might retaliate madly."
Lin Chen: "You're right, let's hold off for now."
After hanging up the phone, Tian Lang reported to Xu Xiangyang.
Xu Xiangyang smiled and said, "That's it, you know and I know, Lin Chen will definitely not admit that he did it."
Hacker attacks can't be brought to the table.
Even when facing his own people, Lin Chen would not admit to this.
"Director Xu, Mr. Lin shouldn't continue, right?"
Tian Lang said.
Xu Xiangyang said, "He said to hold off for now, so he definitely won't continue for the time being. He still knows what he's doing. If he continues at this time, the Ishihara family will fight desperately."
"At that time, the danger to his parents and others will increase."
"Don't worry about this matter for the time being."
Tian Lang: "Okay, Director Xu."
……
US Intelligence Agency.
"Director, this is the information from East Tokyo."
Someone came to Robert and reported.
Robert quickly read the information and said, "This person's hacker level is definitely among the top in the world."
"Knowing that there are experts guarding it, he dared to attack again, and the Ishihara family's network experts didn't notice it at all."
The person in front of Robert said, "Director, our US network experts also participated in the defense operation."
"Oh?"
Robert raised an eyebrow, "Have you asked them?"
"I asked them, and they didn't find anything. According to their comprehensive judgment, the other party's hacker attack strength can definitely rank in the top three in the world."
Robert: "Can it be matched with the hacker experts in the database?"
"No."
Robert's eyes narrowed: "Can't match? You analyze and analyze how high the possibility is that it's Lin Chen."
"Okay."
The person in front of Robert retreated.
Robert frowned. He felt it was Lin Chen.
"Forcing the Ishihara family into this situation so quickly, if such hacker strength targets our United States—"
Robert's eyes flashed.
He quickly reported to the higher-ups.
"Robert, tell me your suggestions."
A big shot above listened to his report and said.
Robert said, "Sir, China is a huge threat, and our country is facing a strong challenge from China."
"If we can make Lin Chen become one of us, he may be able to help us completely defeat China."
"If he can't become one of us, then his threat to us will continue to increase. I suggest we get rid of him at all costs."
The big shot considered for a while and said, "Robert, I need evidence to prove that this matter was done by Lin Chen."
"If there is evidence, if he doesn't want to go to the International Criminal Court, then he had better obediently rely on us."
Robert: "I will try my best to find evidence."
"But I may not be able to find it."
The big shot said in a deep voice, "If you don't find it, you can handle it yourself. I don't know anything about this."
"Yes."
Robert nodded.
If things are not done well, he will have to take the blame.
At the same time, he knew that if things were done well, his benefits in the future would definitely not be small.
