Little Murdoch has never stopped contacting Shion.
Although Shion herself missed it because she slept in, when she woke up and learned about it, she only replied with one sentence.
"Without a beard on your mouth, you are destined to eat shit."
This sentence was used by the dwarves to mock the elves in Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" series.
Obviously, Shion's attitude is very clear.
The two sides will fight to the death, and only one can survive.
Murdoch Jr. certainly knew where this sentence came from.
He knew very well that the situation for peace was no longer possible and the only option now was to fight.
But now News Corporation and Fox have no way to fight back.
In the end, Murdoch Jr. had no choice but to follow the established plan and throw Joan Weir out as a scapegoat in the matter of Lily Wettin.
In short, all of this was the work of the paparazzi chief, Joan Weir, and had nothing to do with News Corporation.
But anyone who is not a fool knows that News Corporation is abandoning its own car to save its own driver.
I won't say much about the other things. Joan Weir acted on her own initiative. Could it be that the other phone-hacking incidents under News Corporation were also acted on by those people on their own initiative?
Except for children and intellectually disabled people, no one believed News Corporation's explanation.
In fact, News Corporation's choice cannot be said to be wrong. Generally speaking, no one would escalate such matters to the criminal level.
At this point, both sides should take a step back and call it a day.
But the problem is that Shion has already stepped up her pace for the final sprint.
How could he suddenly have a change of heart and take a step back?
So over the past few years, all the negative information about News Corporation collected by Washimine was exposed at once.
Apart from the prince's knee incident, the Prime Minister's infant illness being exposed, the missing girl's message box being tampered with, etc.
More shocking information was uncovered.
From royal aristocrats, celebrities and politicians to ordinary people, News Corporation's paparazzi have captured almost all walks of life in the UK.
In addition to tracking, these paparazzi also use illegal means to wiretap phone calls, bribe people around public figures, and threaten the victims' families.
In short, News Corporation has done all the bad things that the media industry can do.
Any one of these incidents is serious enough to cause panic among the public.
What's more, everything was brought out at once.
So, when the stock market opened a new day, the stocks of News Corporation and Fox fell sharply.
If you only look at these two stocks, some people might think that the U.S. stock market has been halted.
News Corporation originally had the opportunity to rescue the company with funds.
But unfortunately, most of the two companies' circulating funds had been tied up by the Warner Group before this.
By the time News Corporation and Fox realized that something was wrong and took drastic measures to withdraw the money at the cost of giving up part of the funds, it was already too late.
Hundreds of billions of dollars evaporated in just half a day, and News Corporation, which was once considered a high-quality stock, completely sank.
As for Fox's stock price, it looked like a person riding a bicycle downhill suddenly flipped over and fell into a valley. In order to stabilize the situation, News Corporation had to stop publishing most of its newspapers in the name of suspension and rectification.
The News of the World, which has the most problems, simply announced an indefinite suspension of publication.
In fact, News Corporation can no longer run a newspaper.
But this is just the beginning.
Since the day the scandal was exposed, News Corporation has been visited by the police almost every day, and several people have been taken away.
All News Corporation employees are in danger, and they don't know when the fire will burn them.
In such circumstances, in order to protect themselves, many employees began to take the initiative to confess illegal information about their company to the police.
The entire British people have completely turned into onlookers, because every day there are big melons to eat from News Corporation.
Any one of these events could be the subject of discussion for half a year, yet they all broke out one after another within just a few days.
The British people's appetite for gossip was satisfied all at once, and they even felt a little full.
Although in the United States, the FBI has not started arresting anyone except Joan Weir and her group who were arrested at the beginning.
However, all senior executives, including Murdoch Jr., are already under close police surveillance.
It was only a matter of time before someone was arrested, and everyone knew that.
In Nanaya's previous life, News Corporation was able to escape largely due to the disunity of its opponents.
After the phone-hacking scandal was exposed, Warner chose to stop after confirming that its company would not be acquired.
As a result, News Corporation's bad debts in the United States were not exposed to the public, which gave the Murdoch family the opportunity to settle them privately.
In the UK, after News Corporation closed the News of the World.
The royal family and political leaders all felt relieved and did not pursue the matter further.
Therefore, thanks to the lack of unity of thought within the anti-News Corporation group, the Murdoch family managed to escape the disaster.
Although the losses were heavy, at least the foundation was preserved.
Although News Corporation is very successful in its eavesdropping activities in the UK, it is an American company after all.
In this isolationist country, people never care about what happens abroad.
Even if that country is called Britain.
So without the phone-hacking scandal breaking out in North America, News Corporation finally found a way to suppress the whole thing.
It's bad luck for the Murdoch family.
This time, the anti-Murdoch alliance not only has a leader, but the other side is also unwilling to give up easily.
Shion has been coveting the piece of fat meat from News Corporation for a long time. Now that it has finally been cooked and served on the table, how can she not use her knife and fork?
So when Shion, who had been nourished by her man, appeared in public with a radiant look, she was the first to state her position.
"I will get to the bottom of News Corp's monitoring of my life!"
Then another public figure from the Washimine faction also spoke out.
This person is Lily Wettin, the protagonist of this invasion incident.
First, she explained why she moved to a new apartment temporarily.
After the invasion, News Corp., in order to protect itself, spread rumors that Lily Wettin would move into the new apartment for some ulterior motive.
Otherwise, why would other members of the crew live in the crew dormitory while she lives alone in the apartment?
If there was actual evidence, News Corporation might be able to fight back.
Of course, it is impossible to make Nanaya and Lily die. At most, they will just feel disgusted as if they were stepping on dog shit.
But now they have no evidence at all, and at most it can only be regarded as the helpless rage of a loser.
Having said that, it has definitely had a negative impact on Lily's fan circle.
In order to maintain Lily's idol image, she still clarified the matter.
"As for my moving into a new apartment, it was because of the promotion of Inception."
"Because the movie is about to be released, a large number of reporters gathered around me. In order not to affect the normal rest of the crew, I deliberately moved out of the crew."
She naturally wouldn't tell anyone that she sacrificed her looks to help her brother-in-law go fishing.
No, not even the appearance was sacrificed.
Apart from occasionally showing a semblance of intimacy in public, Nanaya had never even entered Lily's room.
[Luckily, I put up the "wedding photo" in the living room. My brother-in-law is really too rude.]
Lily sniffed unhappily, with a hint of resentment flashing in her eyes.
··
"Ah--sneeze!"
A director who showed up on the set sneezed loudly.
"Damn, you're not going to catch a cold, are you?"
Nanaya rubbed his aching waist and complained, "This date is a bit expensive..."
"Senior~~"
Ori, with a gloomy face, suddenly appeared behind Nanaya: "You should have rested enough after taking leave before, right? Do you still want to be lazy?!"
"Don't pull my ears! I was wrong!"
Nana-pig let out a pig-killing howl
··
After cursing that cowardly brother-in-law in her heart, Lily's tone in front of the microphone changed and became very stern.
"Of course, that was just what I thought. Now it seems those paparazzi were targeting me from the beginning!!"
"I will never let them go!!"
Lily concluded with these words.
This was a live press conference, and there were many fans of Lily sitting in the audience.
After hearing Lily's speech, many people shouted excitedly.
"Yes! Support Miss Wettin in safeguarding her legal rights!!"
"Get the scumbag media out of America!"
"This illegal intrusion by News Corp is a blatant violation of the civil rights of this country!"
"These people are so rampant in the UK, I don't believe they will abide by the law in the US!"
"We strongly recommend that the government immediately conduct a thorough investigation of all newspapers under News Corporation! Shut down this company with a long history of bad deeds!"
"Please ask News Corporation to come out and give everyone an explanation!"
After this press conference, various criticisms against News Corporation began to intensify.
The FBI originally wanted to wait for a while before making any decision. News Corporation had a good relationship with them before, so some people in the FBI wanted to try to help suppress the matter.
But with public opinion boiling over, they had to make a decision as soon as possible.
Another reason that prompted the FBI to step up its crackdown on News Corp. was pressure from above.
After all, what the Murdoch family did was really crazy.
It makes everyone with a little status in the United States feel uncomfortable.
Especially James Murdoch, who actually dared to wiretap the phone of the world's richest woman and put eavesdropping devices in the homes of popular stars, not to mention the crappy things they did in the UK.
These people dare to eavesdrop on the privacy of British politicians, so don't they dare to do the same to the United States?
You can tell with your knees that this is impossible.
Those big shots can't sleep whenever they think that some of their past privacy may have been eavesdropped on.
Who doesn't have a little secret?
The higher the status of a person, the more he cares about such things.
Plus the various lobbyings of the Washimine Group.
There is a unanimous feeling across America that the Murdoch family and their News Corporation must learn a profound lesson.
This is not only to teach a lesson to this family that has crossed the line, but also to make an example of them.
