As Meng Qi expected, his anonymous post set off a storm, and those Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fans began to dig out their minds to make a fuss about the three anonymous IDs, trying to find out the conspiracy.
For a while, there were endless posts about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, about Frank Miller, about the plagiarism incident, about the Pacific Comics, and even people who claimed to know everything inside.
Smith looked at the comic section of the REDIT forum that was being swiped, completely stunned. In his opinion, Meng Qi's hand is simply turning decay into magic!
In fact, there is no essential difference between what Meng Qi did and what Pacific Comics did, but it is really necessary to distinguish between the Pacific strategy is to frame and slander, while Meng Qi tells a conspiracy theory in a speculative tone.
Which one is more eye-catching, and which one is more appealing to the gossip that people come to in-depth?
The latter, of course!
Everybody loves conspiracy theories, doesn't they?
Therefore, because of Meng Qi's post, the whole Internet fell into a kind of madness, not only iron fans, but also neutral comic fans jumped to this front, and the previous opponents also began to waver.
Finally, a netizen claiming to be a hacker posted an anonymous post with a super long headline, pushing the whole incident to the next level.
"Ironclad evidence! As a big fan of TMNT and a super hacker, I've found evidence that Pacific Comics framed Mr. Frank Miller! γ
"Thank you for the inspiration I received from that anonymous post. After reading the post, it only took me fifteen minutes to get into the forum's servers (sorry, REDIT forum, but your network security engineers are so rubbish, I suggest you fire their squid), and then, I checked the forum DMs for those three IDs......"
"I found that although these three IDs have not been registered for a long time, they have a common contact...... Guess who he is? β
βBINGOοΌ That's right, he's the account of Aaron Crowder, executive editor of Pacific Comics! β
"Haha~ I KNOW YOU WANT TO ASK ME WHY I KNOW THIS IS CLAUDE'S ACCOUNT, BECAUSE IT TOOK ME ANOTHER FIFTEEN MINUTES TO FIND THE COMMONLY USED EMAIL ADDRESS OF THIS ACCOUNT AND SUCCESSFULLY OBTAIN THE PASSWORD (SORRY, T-MAIL, YOUR NETWORK SECURITY ENGINEERS CAN ALSO RESIGN EN MASSE)...... And then, I saw something amazing in this mailbox......"
"For example, Claude's correspondence with the editor-in-chief of Cartoon Man, and some bill receipts for Yinhan transfers......"
"I've always been a man who likes to follow the truth, so I got the transfer history of Claude's bills, and randomly obtained Claude's call logs for the last few months (sorry, Bank of Texas and Federal Communications, your network security engineers are not very good)"
"Wow, that's the truth. We really misunderstood Mr. Frank Miller...... I believe that's the case, Pacific Comics bought off Cartoon Man and these anonymous posters, and used false accusations, abuse, and conspiracy to perfectly show everyone a farce. β
"Friends, Mr. Frank Miller is innocent, and it is Pacific Comics and Cartoon Man who should be spurned."
"I think you should know how to do it...... Above. β
The tone of this post is slightly neutral and arrogant, but none of this matters, the important thing is that this guy is really a hacker, because he posted a large number of screenshots in the post, including Claude instructing the trolls to continue posting forum private messages attacking Frank Miller, including transactions and money exchanges between Claude and the editor-in-chief of Cartoon Man, including Claude's call logs and contact list.
This evidence has perfectly exposed the conspiracy of Pacific Comics.
For a while, the whole forum was boiling.
Tens of thousands of replies appeared below the post in an instant, and almost all of them were replies to apologizing to Meng Qi and scolding Pacific Comics.
"Didn't Frank Miller plagiarize? What the hell is going on? β
"Combined with a series of actions of Pacific Comics Company recently, they probably want to step on the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" to push their "Kung Fu Detective" to the top!"
"Agree with the upstairs, but isn't it a bit too shameful to do that?! I can't bear it! β
"We owe Mr. Frank Miller an apology!"
"Damn, we were actually deceived for half a month, I'm full of anger now, Pacific Comics, get out of the comics world!"
"Oh my God, we have such a scum company in Texas, and it's heartbreaking!"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Frank Miller, I'm going to buy Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles right now!"
"Yes, I'm going to buy it too, buy ten copies!"
β¦β¦β¦β¦
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"This hacker appeared too coincidentally, right?"
I was just forced into a corner by Pacific Comics, and now I turned over so easily? In the face of such a shocking reversal, Smith couldn't believe his eyes, and actually began to wonder about the origin of the hacker.
"I told you, don't underestimate human curiosity...... Meng Qi Meng Qi paid attention to the trends on the Internet, and was in a good mood,
"I really didn't expect that Mr. Claude would be so stupid that he would completely keep the evidence...... However, we really have to thank that Mr. Hacker for making things a lot easier after that......"
"What happened after that? Judging from the current situation, we have fought a beautiful turnaround, right? Although the source of this evidence is not legitimate, it is enough to reverse the decline! We've already won! β
"No, Mr. Smith, we haven't won enough...... "Men said, "public opinion on the Internet doesn't mean everything......"
"We can ...... by holding a press conference," Smith seems to have come up with only one trick.
"Of course we will hold a press conference, but not now......" A cold light flashed in Meng Qi's eyes, "Now is the time to regain lost ground!" β
"Huh?"
Meng Qi looked at the time and smiled lightly: "Now it's the turn of the NBO and the Huala brothers to make a move......

Alan Claude looked at the increasing number of orders with high spirits, and the ambition in his heart grew like a weed: "This time, I must be able to become a member of the board of directors, right?" β
Thinking of this, he almost couldn't help but laugh wildly.
Under the podium, most of the booksellers and bookstore representatives had already completed their reservations for "Kung Fu Detective" and returned to their seats, and a small number of people were still talking to headquarters on the phone to discuss the amount of reservations.
Claude understood that the press conference was nearing its end, so he turned on the microphone, tapped his fingers twice, and said, "Gentlemen, ladies, there are still ten minutes left before the end of our press conference, please hurry up and ...... friends who have not yet booked."
"Get down! Swindler! β
