Chapter 365 The Light of Justice
Seoul in March is full of spring and beautiful scenery.

With the news pop-up on NGN, the scandal of US troops in South Korea using the military email system to sell drugs was exposed. The new policy reforms of President Lee Min-bo, which had been the focus of Korean people's attention, suddenly became less popular. The topic of US troops selling drugs became the focus of people's attention. Those reporters and PDs who cried in front of the Blue House and outside the National Assembly Hall became unpopular almost overnight. No matter how loudly they cried or shouted, not many people paid attention to them.

Not only ordinary people, but also media reporters are the same. Those reporters who were originally targeting members of Congress have all moved their positions to Yongsan District and to outside the NGN headquarters building. Whether it is the location of the US Forces Korea Command or the street outside the NGN company building, there are almost always dozens of reporters waiting there, each of them hoping to dig out some news scraps from the relevant personnel.

It was near ten o'clock in the morning. In the president's office on the top floor of the NGN building, An Rusong crossed his arms and held a half-burned cigarette between his fingers on his right hand. He stood in front of the French window, looking through the dusty window glass at the street below.

At this time, more than half of the street downstairs was blocked. A rough count showed that there were six or seven interview cars from various TV stations and radio stations parked on the roadside. Reporters with cameras were squatting or sitting on the roadside, waiting for An Rushong to come down from the building.

Also on the sidewalk, there was a pile of wreckage that was obviously burned. Judging from the remaining skeleton of the wreckage, it was obviously a commercial vehicle - yes, it was An Rushong's Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle. Yesterday afternoon, it was set on fire by seven or eight unidentified masked men, and it happened in broad daylight, without avoiding anyone's sight.

For this matter, An Rushong created a special push page on the news pop-up window of the NGN software. As a victim, he strongly condemned this behavior of ignoring the laws and civil rights of the Republic of Korea and using violence to threaten and intimidate citizens.

As soon as this incident happened, it immediately sparked public opinion. Although An Rushong did not link this incident with the incident in which NGN exposed the US military's drug trafficking, the people were not fools. They did not need anyone to give them any hints and naturally linked the two things together. They believed that the reason why An Rushong's car was burned was because of those drug-trafficking US troops stationed in South Korea. They were threatening An Rushong and NGN.

Koreans have a mysterious nationalist sentiment. Software like NGN, which was born in Korea, developed and operated by Koreans, but has a large number of users worldwide, has a special status in the hearts of Koreans. It can be said without exaggeration that NGN already has a large number of fans in Korea. In the past period of time, NGN first took the lead in calling on the people to help with disaster relief, and then, without fear of the powerful, disclosed the scandal of Lee Won-jun, vice president of KBS TV station. Now, it has taken a major risk to disclose the scandal of drug trafficking by US troops stationed in South Korea.

All these things piled up together, for those NGN software fans, the NGN software and its operating company they pursued is no longer a simple IT company or Internet real-time communication software, it has become a symbol to some extent - a banner of adhering to the position of justice and fighting against evil forces unyieldingly. An Rusong, the chairman of NGN, is no longer a simple IT practitioner or businessman, but has become the "conscience of the Republic of Korea", a righteous man who is not afraid of power and is determined to expose the reality to the Korean people.

Therefore, when An Rusong's car was set on fire and the relevant news spread to the Internet, the public opinion escalated to a higher level. The popular comments and discussion posts on Yahoo Korea Forum were almost all related to An Rusong. The official website of the Supreme Procuratorate was almost collapsed by the netizens. Countless messages demanded that the Supreme Procuratorate immediately launch a relevant investigation and at the same time, protect An Rusong's personal safety.

All of this was foreseen by An Rushong long ago. It can even be said that this is what he wanted to achieve.

In order to deepen his relationship with President Lee Min-bo, he had to act as a vanguard in many matters, and the news dissemination attribute of NGN software must also provide services for President Lee Min-bo. Therefore, exposing the scandal of Lee Won-jun was one thing he had to do.

In order to deepen his relationship with Leonard, Thurman and others, he also had to make a pledge of allegiance. Therefore, exposing the drug trafficking scandal of US troops in South Korea and causing a lot of trouble for the current US Forces Korea Command was something he had to do. He had no chance to avoid it.

So, now the question is, since he can't avoid these things and must do them, why not take advantage of the opportunity to do these things to seek greater benefits for himself? After all, it's like raking grass to catch rabbits, so it's a waste not to take advantage of it.

What's cheap?
That's right, it's an opportunity to seize the commanding heights of public opinion and build a golden image for oneself in public opinion. Whether it's exposing the scandal of Li Yuanjun or the scandal of the US military stationed in South Korea, it will undoubtedly bring great reputation to the person who exposed the scandal. At least, a reputation of not fearing power is certain to be obtained.

Now, An Rusong wants this reputation. One thing is certain: when he exposed the drug trafficking scandal of the US military stationed in South Korea, he became famous throughout South Korea and even the world, for no other reason than that he dared to challenge the authority of the US military. What is more important is that he is still a Korean.

Of course, what An Rusong has to do now is not only to expose this scandal, but also to stage a good show. He wants to portray himself as a brave man who stands up for press freedom and bears pressure from all sides, even facing death threats without flinching.

The car was burned? That's just a small case. There are still many follow-up dramas.

No one will go against the wind and put pressure on yourself? It doesn't matter. If no one puts pressure on you, you can take the initiative to create pressure, or in other words, fabricate pressure.

No one has threatened me with death? It doesn't matter. I can direct this drama, just like I asked Zhao Jingsheng and his brother to arrange for someone to set fire to the Mercedes-Benz business car. No one has created resistance to NGN's news broadcast? How is it possible? The resistance that NGN has encountered in the process of development has always existed. As for whether these resistances are related to the current situation, how can outsiders know?
In the final analysis, what An Rushong has to do now is actually a large-scale public opinion hype. No matter who it is, as long as they are caught up in this storm of public opinion, they will either die or be skinned alive.

"Kakaka..."

The sound of high heels hitting the ground came from far away, and the crisp sound was quite seductive because it seemed to have a very unique rhythm.

An Rushong didn't need to look back to guess who the person was, because in NGN company, there were only two women who came into his office without knocking, one was Han Miyan and the other was Specialist Jenny.

Han Miyan also likes to wear high heels, but when she walks, her pace is not like this, not so hurried. Her footsteps are always the kind of slow and steady, not anxious or impatient, she seems to be deliberately maintaining an elegant gait.

This rapid and rhythmic sound of footsteps must belong to Commissioner Jenny. Although this woman always behaves like a little woman, according to Luo Minzhi's private statement, this woman must have received special training. She not only masters the skills of killing, but may have even actually killed someone.

The footsteps stopped at a certain position, and then An Rushong heard the sound of the blinds being pulled. With a hint of surprise, he turned his head and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

Almost at the moment he turned his head, the cell phone in his pocket rang and a call came in.

While reaching for his cell phone, An Rushong looked towards the office door.

Sure enough, the person who came in was Jenny. Today, she had tied her hair into a long ponytail and wore a light blue business sleeveless dress, which made her back look like a professional woman.

In recent days, Jenny has been staying with An Rushong. With her came four NSA agents. Their main task is to ensure An Rushong's personal safety. Leonard was worried that someone would do something bad to An Rushong at this time, and the latter had too few bodyguards.

Not only An Rushong himself, but also Sun Manzhu and the others were protected. Including Rubin, Sun Manzhu, Li Caicao and the other three were arranged by An Rushong to travel abroad, and the place they went to was the northern country with the highest security level.

What made An Rushong somewhat curious was that although he clearly did not see Jenny carrying any luggage with her, she wore different clothes every day. Sometimes, she would wear different skirts in the morning, afternoon and evening, and he had no idea where she put her clothes.

After glancing at Jenny, An Rushong quickly looked at the screen of his mobile phone. The caller ID on the screen showed that it was Li Shiying.

Frowning unconsciously, An Rushong finally pressed the answer button and put the phone to his ear.

"What's the matter?" He asked without waiting for the person on the other side to speak.

"Are...are you okay? I heard that you're in big trouble, and there might be..." Li Shiying asked stutteringly on the other end of the phone.

This woman was really afraid of An Rushong. Even when trying to express her concern to An Rushong, she couldn't speak clearly.
