Little Murdoch sat in his office with a pale face.
He came to the company at 5 o'clock this morning, but he has been sitting there until now.
It's not that he doesn't want to do something, but that he simply can't do it.
Young Murdoch once heard someone say that the closest place to heaven is the abyss of hell.
He didn't know who said this, but now he just felt that it made sense.
I am clearly only one step away from success.
But it is at this step that the gap is as big as heaven and earth.
Such a big fuss happened last night, it would be strange if he didn't know about it!
But the problem is that the initiative is no longer in his hands.
Although the news has not yet reported any related news, it is only a matter of time.
If time could go back, Murdoch would just wish he had ignored that Japanese woman and treated her as if she didn't exist at all! !
But it's too late to say anything now.
Now he just hopes to get out of this matter.
At this moment, young Murdoch no longer wanted to think about staying at Fox as president, or inheriting his father's empire.
"I must remove myself as soon as possible."
Little Murdoch muttered to himself.
The only chance now is that the thief only confessed that he was instructed by Joan Weir.
As long as Joan Weir takes the blame alone, News Corporation can declare that everything was the other party's own decision.
But will things really go so smoothly?
Young Murdoch wasn't sure, he knew that woman was notoriously cruel and ruthless.
I finally caught the opportunity this time, how could I let it go?
And even if this matter only ends with Joan Weir, Fox and even News Corporation will pay a very heavy price.
"If I take out the copyrights of Marvel's superheroes, I wonder if I can feed her."
Little Murdoch's hands were shaking, he knew very well that this might be a luxury.
Judging from the current situation, offering all the copyrights of "X-Men", "Fantastic Four" and "Star Wars" is already a very good result.
If News Corp. could get evidence that Nanaya Kiryu and Lily Wettin were having an affair, then the initiative would be in their hands.
But if on the other hand you were caught trespassing into a private residence, the passive situation you would face would be difficult to explain in a few words.
You have to know that in the United States, if you break into someone's house without permission and are shot to death, they are right.
And it is a serious crime of breaking into a house and installing a bug.
This kind of behavior in Europe and the United States is so bad that it cannot be resolved with just an apology.
Just look at Nixon. After the Watergate scandal, he became the most discredited president in American history.
What about Xia Jie and Shang Zhou? Their reputation in China is much better than Nixon's in the United States.
Although because of the scandal, the president is reluctant to be mentioned.
But if anyone talks about him, he must be an unforgivable villain, the kind of villain compared to whom the head of state is a good person.
Most importantly, the invasion of Lily Wettin's apartment was not an isolated incident.
Little Murdoch lit a cigarette for himself with trembling hands. He looked at the clock on the wall with a somewhat vague look in his eyes.
No one knows the situation of News Corporation better than him. If we really look back at the past, no one in the company is innocent.
He himself would be thrown into prison to pick up soap, with a sentence starting from 100 years.
"Anyway, the first thing to do is to focus on just this one thing..."
Thinking of this, Murdoch Jr. picked up the phone beside him.
He wanted to ask his father for help, but he hesitated when his fingers touched the keyboard.
Tell yourself that I am the father, but do I have the ability to solve it?
Just as little Murdoch was struggling, there was a hurried knock on the door.
Then Murdoch Jr. saw his secretary and assistant rushing in.
"What's wrong?"
Little Murdoch did not blame them for their recklessness, he had already guessed why they came.
"Mr. Murdoch."
The secretary was sweating profusely and she seemed to be crying in anxiety.
"Calm down."
Murdoch Jr. sighed.
What is coming will come, and he is mentally prepared.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
The secretary hesitated twice. Perhaps she was afraid that she couldn't explain herself clearly, so she simply turned on the TV in the office.
"Popular actress Lily Wettin suffered an apartment invasion yesterday!"
An announcer was reading the script in his hand in a pure and rich broadcasting accent.
"The perpetrator is a middle-aged man in his thirties with a history of theft."
"Fortunately, Lily Wettin was not at home at the time and did not suffer any personal safety crisis."
"Because the intruder triggered the alarm in Miss Wettin's home, the police immediately dispatched and arrested him."
Little Murdoch pursed his lips and said nothing.
The news did not say that it was the FBI that was dispatched.
Although there is absolutely no problem in using the police to explain the FBI's arrests.
But anyone with a discerning eye knows that these are two completely different things.
The announcer on the screen continued to narrate the speech.
"After interrogation, the man confessed to his actions. He broke into Lily Wettin's apartment because he was instructed by someone else."
"The suspect admitted that he was commissioned by an editor of the New York Post to invade Miss Lily Wettin's apartment!"
"The police have detained the editor involved and are conducting further interrogation. The specific results..."
"That's enough."
Little Murdoch waved his hand and said, "Now find a way to contact Will and let him take charge of everything."
This was the only way out that young Murdoch found after thinking about it for a whole morning.
This would cause him to bleed heavily, after all, the crime is not light.
But this is the only way to get out of this situation as quickly as possible.
Murdoch Jr. and News Corporation have encountered such situations more than once.
When a similar incident happened at the News of the World, they also used scapegoats to resolve it.
However, Murdoch Jr. found that his secretary and assistant did not move at all.
"Um?"
Little Murdoch made a sound of doubt.
The secretary looked back at Murdoch Jr. and then turned the TV to NBC.
"At present, the British royal family has reported to the police, claiming that the News of the World illegally obtained royal information."
Another announcer was reporting another piece of news related to News Corp.
"In 2006, the story of Prince William's knee injury was exposed by the News of the World. Only a few close confidants knew about this. Where did this media get the information..."
Bang!
Little Murdoch pounded the table hard.
The thing he worried about most happened.
Needless to say, the exposure of this incident must be related to a certain green-haired woman.
But it's not over yet.
The secretary switched the TV channel to ABC, which is owned by Disney.
Likewise, news is being reported here.
"In 2002, 13-year-old girl Millie Dowler disappeared. Her body was found six months later."
"The police later found out that the News of the World employee had hacked into the girl's voicemail and deleted some messages due to too many messages to leave room for new ones."
"But this behavior once made the girl's parents and the police mistakenly believe that the girl was still alive, which led to the wrong direction of the investigation!"
"I can't help but wonder, why can media like this still exist in this world?!"
"…"
Little Murdoch was speechless at this point.
It was a sunny day, but little Murdoch was frozen as if he had fallen into an ice cave, with his hands and feet trembling with cold.
Then the secretary switched to CBS TV.
"According to the latest news, Brown (former British Prime Minister) was bugged by News Corporation for more than 10 years."
"Brown's youngest son, Frege, was diagnosed with a genetic disease at birth and was prone to death.
"In 2006, when the child was only 4 months old, The Sun made little Frege's condition public, using it to attack the former British Prime Minister!"
"The Sun is said to have called Brown to triumphantly inform him of his illness before revealing it."
"Soon after this, The Sun editor Brooks was promoted to chief executive of News International."
"Just ask, who can tolerate such behavior!!"
The three major TV stations in the United States fired at News Corporation at the same time. Such a huge amount of information made Murdoch Jr. completely confused.
Finally the secretary turned the TV on to CNN.
This time, young Murdoch didn't hear any old adult scores.
But what the announcer said made him almost vomit blood.
"The British police have said that they are considering what has happened so far, the current situation, and the possible instability of social order that may occur next."
"They will investigate all the senior people at News Corp and detain those who have been identified as being involved in the phone hacking."
Clang.
Little Murdoch fell back into his sofa chair.
His hair was disheveled and he was breathing slightly. He seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.
Little Murdoch tapped the table with his fingers and said in a trembling voice: "Contact... my father immediately... NOW————!!!"
"OK."
The secretary was so frightened that she didn't even dare to use the phone in Murdoch Jr.'s office. Instead, she rushed out of the office and went to the corridor to call Murdoch Sr. using her own cell phone.
Little Murdoch didn't bother to pay attention to her. He looked at his assistant with trembling lips.
"What do you think is the probability that this matter will be related to me?"
He no longer wants to think about Fox, News Corporation, or the heir to the media empire.
Young Murdoch now has only one thought: he must not be caught by the police.
The assistant looked at his boss. He used to be full of vigor and vitality, but now he looked like a tiger with its teeth pulled out.
He let out a series of roars, but they only made him look more powerful than he actually was.
"That depends on what goal Washimine Shion wants to achieve." The assistant said, "Based on the current situation, all the forces targeting us are connected by her..."
Little Murdoch happily replied, "If that woman can stop in time, they will be leaderless!! Quick! Call that woman! We must contact her immediately!!!"
However, Murdoch Jr. was unable to get through to Washimine Shion on the phone.
Because they had too much fun last night, she and a certain director whose name cannot be mentioned stayed in bed and did not wake up until noon.
