I was just telling a story, why is the whole internet urging me to turn myself in?

Chapter 65 Am I the mastermind? Let the bullets fly for a while!

"This is a high-dimensional logic that claims to be divine, a blatant objectification and contempt for the lives of the lowest beings."

Shen Feng closed his eyes and gently stroked Liu Degui's yellowed ID photo with his fingers.

The man's blank stare in the photo was like a thorn, piercing Shen Feng's heart, a small-town man who had only ever thought about "earning some popularity points to survive."

In the suffocating silence, outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows on the 68th floor of the Global Financial Center, a pale bolt of lightning tore through the gloomy sky of Jiangzhou.

"Boom—!"

Accompanied by a muffled rumble of thunder, the soundproof door to the CEO's office was suddenly pushed open.

"Master, something's happened." Xiao Yu strode in, carrying the military-grade explosion-proof laptop. His face, already showing dark circles under his eyes, was now filled with seriousness. "Mr. Shadow has sent another video."

Shen Feng slightly raised his eyelids, his aura of authority perfectly concealing the momentary panic in his heart.

He slowly unscrewed the thermos cup, saying, "The sky isn't falling. Let's see what he's saying about me this time."

Xiaoyu gritted his teeth, placed the laptop on the large mahogany desk, and pressed the play button.

On the screen, the dark figure wearing an electronic voice-changing mask and with a heavily blurred background reappeared.

"Gentlemen, do you really believe there are any gods in this world who can foresee the future?" The shrill electronic synthesized voice was filled with undisguised malice. "You are worshipping that so-called genius trick, but you don't know that you are paying the price for a bloodthirsty capitalist demon."

The screen flashed, revealing a complex network of relationships.

"My investigation has revealed that X, the true mastermind behind the Chen Mei case in Jiangcheng's eastern district, has illicit financial dealings with Shen Feng's secretive cultural media studio. This isn't some remote investigation at all; it's a complete staged event."

Mr. Shadow's voice was highly inflammatory: "Shen Feng first recruited criminals on the dark web, meticulously planning perfect crime scenes, even at the cost of innocent lives. Then, he sat in that luxurious office, 'solving cases' through live streaming, thereby reaping massive amounts of attention and profits."

"Using human lives for early-stage venture capital, and using justice for later packaging. This is the most vicious business model of our time."

At the end of the video, Mr. Shadow played an audio clip.

That was a "phone recording" from three days before the Chen Mei case occurred.

In the recording, a deep voice that sounded exactly like Shen Feng said, "That woman's ex-husband is a problem. Get rid of him. Do it cleanly. I need perfect script material—"

The video ends abruptly there.

"Bang.

Xu Zhengyang, standing to the side, was ashen-faced. He slammed his fist on the edge of the solid wood table: "This is slander! This is trying to pin the dirtiest accusations on Mr. Xu!"

Xiaoyu's hands flew across the keyboard as he pulled up backend data. His voice tightened: "Master, public opinion has shifted. This logic perfectly aligns with the public's perception of 'capitalism committing evil.' This recording is now circulating wildly online, and a large number of casual fans are turning against him. Seven out of the top ten trending topics are demands for the National Defense Agency to immediately detain you."

Shen Feng leaned back in the Herman Miller boss's chair, staring blankly at the screen.

But deep inside, unseen by anyone, Shen Feng's CPU was practically burning out.

"This bastard is wasting his talent by not becoming a screenwriter—" Shen Feng mentally ranted. "I even hesitate to add two eggs when I buy a jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe), and he's accusing me of using human lives for venture capital?! If this charge of hiring a murderer is proven, I'll be in jail for ten lifetimes!"

In the midst of extreme panic, the absolute rationality brought by [God-level Criminal Psychology] came into play. Shen Feng's breathing remained steady, and a hint of mockery even appeared in his deep eyes.

"Xiaoyu, rewind that recording separately and play it at 0.5x speed."

Xiaoyu was taken aback, but immediately did as instructed.

A deep voice echoed through the office.

With the enhanced auditory perception derived from [Micro-expression Analysis], Shen Feng keenly detected anomalies that ordinary people could not detect at all.

"Did you hear it?" Shen Feng picked up his thermos and gently blew on the goji berries on the surface of the water. Between the sentences, "Get rid of them" and "Make sure the process is clean," there was a very slight break in the vibration frequency of the airflow. When a normal person speaks, the background noise of the vocal cords is continuous, but the background noise in this recording is like a tattered rag covered in patches.

Xiao Yu gasped, instantly realizing: "Voiceprint splicing?!"

He grabbed the laptop, switched to hacker mode, and launched the AI ​​voiceprint reconstruction tool he had spent six months developing. As lines of complex green code refreshed like a waterfall, a detailed acoustic spectrogram was extracted.

"We've found it." Xiao Yu looked at the analysis results, his eyes hardening. "Grandmaster, this so-called phone call wasn't recorded in one take at all."

Xiao Yu pointed to the waveform segments marked with different colors on the screen: "That woman's ex-husband is a problem," a quote from your original audio when you talked about the ghost ledger case last month; "Get rid of him," was your catchphrase during the live broadcast of the unfinished building case; "I need a perfect script material," was a screen recording of you establishing your persona on the first day of the broadcast.

"The other party extracted the audio from your past few live streams frame by frame, refined the voiceprint features, and then used deepfake technology to seamlessly splice them into this conversation."

Xu Zhengyang frowned: "Since it's a forgery, let's immediately release this analysis report to the public and expose his trick."

"It's not that simple, Brother Xu." Xiao Yu swallowed, a hint of apprehension in his eyes. "This level of audio forgery perfectly matches even the background noise and environmental echoes. Commercially available consumer software simply can't do that."

Xiao Yu looked up at Shen Feng and said, "This means that behind the other party is at least a hacker workshop with top-notch technical reserves, or even a larger force."

The air in the office instantly dropped to freezing point.

Mr. Shadow not only has access to the Defense Agency's top-secret surveillance, but now he's even using this level of forgery technology.

This is no longer just a simple case of online trolls; it's an organized and premeditated systematic attack targeting Shen Feng.

"Master, I'll cut out the analysis video and push it across the entire internet right away. We have to retaliate immediately, otherwise those people from the Defense Agency will definitely use this as an excuse to make trouble." Xiao Yu's hands were already on the keyboard.

"No."

Shen Feng uttered a single word, interrupting Xiao Yu's actions.

He put down his thermos, stood up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked down at Jiangzhou City, which was being ravaged by the torrential rain: "encrypt and archive the analysis report, and do not release it for now."

"Why?" Xu Zhengyang and Xiaoyu asked in unison.

Shen Feng turned around, a deep, unfathomable smile curving his lips: "We haven't caught enough fish yet. It's too early to close the net now."

However, these words struck Xu Zhengyang like a jolt, and a sudden realization flashed in his eyes.

He understood. He completely understood.

Sir, you are playing a long game, using the tactic of feigning weakness to lure the snake out of its hole!

The gentleman had long seen through the enormous power behind Mr. Shadow. If he clarified things now, the other party would at most cut their losses and survive by changing their identity and continuing to lie low.

The gentleman deliberately feigned weakness, allowing public opinion to ferment, making the shadowy man believe that victory was assured, thus exposing all his trump cards, all the moles within, and even all the official protectors to the light of day!

Once the opponent has run out of bullets and revealed all their cards, the gentleman will then present this irrefutable evidence, delivering a decisive blow and eradicating the entire dark web network in Jiangzhou!

"Sir, you have great foresight. I have learned a great deal." Xu Zhengyang straightened up and looked at Shen Feng with awe in his eyes. "Then let the bullets fly for a while longer."
