In front of the Los Angeles Police Department, Eric smiled at the panicked paparazzi.

He had been planning for this moment for several days.

Without the support of mainstream media, especially TV stations, MGM has always been at a disadvantage in this public opinion war.

He thought for a long time about how to reverse the decline, and finally formulated this strategy.

Use yourself as bait to attract these guys, and then use their influence to build momentum for yourself.

Use your own spear to attack your shield, I wonder how you can crack it?

If you accept it, then I will open your eyes!

If you don't accept it, then in front of the national audience, your credibility will be greatly reduced.

Eric is playing a double-sided game, Su Wei's choice.

At this moment, tens of millions of people were watching the TV. They found that the show was getting more and more interesting. It was fun to watch the big guys fighting.

Lionheart Network members who received the system notification also switched to the live broadcast interface. Soon, millions of people joined in, and the number continued to increase.

"What does Eric Cooper want to do? What happened? Where is he? It seems very lively."

"Can't you see the words next to it? LAPD, this is the Los Angeles Police Department. There are reporters from major TV stations and newspapers below. They are surrounded by reporters from Lionheart Network."

"What? It feels so exciting. Are we going to fight? A paparazzi melee in front of the police station sounds like a good idea."

"Hahahaha, it's really a good idea!"

"Idiot! It's obviously Eric Cooper's plan. He wants to put the TV station on the fire and force them to compromise!"

"Have you watched TV? The police said that Eric Cooper passed the polygraph test, which means that he and Gal Gadot dated for a year before eating each other. Do you believe it?"

"No, I don't believe it! If Gal Gadot was my girlfriend, I couldn't wait even a minute."

"Agree! Even if it's in a public area, I must kill her on the spot!"

"Transformers is really good. She is very hot. From a man's perspective, I don't believe that anyone can withstand a year."

"Brother, don't talk about the male perspective. Even as a woman, I can't stand it for a year. This behavior is simply against the human physiological structure."

"But Eric Cooper passed the polygraph test. How do you explain it? Did he undergo special training? Don't be ridiculous. He is not an agent or a military official. I can't think of any reason why he would do this kind of training."

"Maybe it's because Eric Cooper is born with a strong psychological quality. He is a genius, the youngest super billionaire in history, the youngest best screenwriter in history, who created YouTube and Facebook, and brought MGM back to life. It's like magic!"

"This view makes sense! Eric Cooper must be a person with very strong psychological quality."

"I agree with this view. Anyway, I don't believe that a man can endure Gal Gadot for a year, unless he can't be a pokemon."

The views of the Lionheart Network members also represent the views of the vast majority of people. If Eric heard their discussion, he would probably cry in the toilet. It was useless to endure so hard at the beginning!

But some people also put forward another perspective.

"I think you're overthinking things. Eric Cooper can hold back not because he is born with deficiencies, but because he has other alternatives around him. Don't forget that there are many female stars around him."

"Hmm? That makes sense! I almost forgot about it. He has had scandals with Nicole Kidman and Robin Wright. If this guy wants to do it, there are countless beautiful women willing to open their legs for him."

"You're right. Eric Cooper must be cheating on several women or has several lovers. He is a young and powerful entertainment industry dignitary, and he must have many canaries under his command."

It has to be said that netizens' divergent thinking ability is still very strong, and they have very accurately deduced the original appearance of the incident.

"Wait, the Olsen sisters also had a scandal with this guy, and they were minors at the time. Do we need to investigate further?"

"Is this the end? Is this the end? He even took Elizabeth Olsen to Jackson's manor to play. With this collective punishment method, there is no clean person in the world!"

"Anyway, I have always believed in Eric's character. He is so handsome. If he just hooks his finger, I will be willing to climb into his bed."

"Get out of here, you nympho!"

"Dude, this person's profile picture is a man."

"Ugh!"

"Pointless discussion, police Fang has already defined the crime, and Barle Farley only gave a vague description. I want to know more about what Eric Cooper wants to do. It looks like he is going to use his big move!"

In front of the police station, Eric said: "Do you want to know where the real sex crimes are concentrated? Now, let me tell you!"

Next to him, Carol took out the edited manuscript and handed it to him. Eric read aloud: "On August 21, 2003, in Montgomery, Alabama, a 45-year-old white man sexually assaulted a 14-year-old black girl, and unfortunately, the girl has been killed."

"On September 9, 2003, in Little Rock, Arkansas, another 31-year-old white man sexually assaulted a 19-year-old girl, but compared to the 14-year-old girl, at least she was not killed."

“On September 13, 2003, in Dover, Delaware, a 16-year-old black boy deceived a 13-year-old white girl into his home and sexually assaulted her. Fortunately, she escaped in the end, but this also It’s just a nightmare.”

"On October 5, 2003, in Atlanta, Georgia, a 38-year-old white woman knocked out a 13-year-old boy with drugs and imprisoned him in her home for a day and night, during which she sexually assaulted him multiple times."

“On October 6, 2003, in Georgia, three black men kidnapped and imprisoned a 21-year-old white girl and took turns sexually assaulting her. The poor girl was tortured, but even though she begged for mercy in every possible way, she was eventually tortured to death. The body is full of scars!"

Eric read aloud a series of cases, most of which were sexual crimes, mixed with homicides, abductions, etc., and all of these cases occurred after August last year.

The paparazzi below listened to him talking about these things and looked at each other for a moment, wondering what he meant?

Even the prosecutor Leonard next to him was confused. He had heard of several of these cases, but so what?

The United States has a vast territory and is the fourth largest country in the world. With a population of 300 million, the United States is the third largest country in the world.

It also contains many complex factors such as religion and race. It is normal for several homicides to occur.

It's just that in this era when the Internet is not yet very developed, these cases generally do not become well-known throughout the country. Most of them are only spread to the city, not even outside the county area.

What's all the fuss about?

Everyone's eyes were focused on Eric. He rattled off dozens of words in one breath, and then raised the remaining pile of paper in his hand high.

"What I just said is only part of it. The real situation is more shocking than everyone thinks. And do you know why these cases happen?"

"Because the murderers almost all used the same method in committing the crime, adding the victim's friends on the Internet, then luring them out to meet, and finally committing the crime."

"And the tools used by these murderers all come from the same one - myspace!"

boom!

When they heard "myspace", many paparazzi finally realized the crisis. It turned out that Eric Cooper's real target was it!

At the same time, James Murdoch, who was watching the TV with interest in the mansion, suddenly changed his expression.

"Damn it! This guy is going to attack myspace!"

Due to the different routes MySpace takes, there is indeed a large amount of irrelevant and unhealthy content, and it is also anonymous information. Anyone can register and disguise themselves.

Therefore, in the process of these cases, we must bear certain responsibilities.

In the past, victims or victims' families jointly sued Myspace, but there was no turmoil. The website's development is also quite good, with the number of registered members exceeding 40 million.

Although there is still some gap between it and Facebook, it is enough to make people proud.

But if Eric Cooper makes things bigger and arouses public outrage, it will be bad, and the website may need to undergo a major overhaul.

But if he competes through formal channels, he has no confidence that he can beat Facebook. All the functions of MySpace are copied from Facebook and then rebranded. How can you compete with them?

Thinking of this, James Murdoch hurriedly picked up the phone and called his father Rupert Murdoch, but no one answered.

I called my father's secretary again and learned that there was a meeting, so I could only ask the other party to find someone quickly.

After a while, the phone was connected, and Murdoch Sr. said somewhat displeasedly: "James, why are you so anxious? I'm in an important meeting."

James Murdoch hurriedly told the story, but the old Murdoch didn't pay attention after hearing it.

He invested in the Internet a few years ago, but it hit the bubble period when he first entered the market, and he lost all his money.

From then on, he had no confidence in the Internet. If James Murdoch hadn't been his beloved eldest son, he wouldn't have let him mess with MySpace.

In the old Murdoch's view, newspapers and television stations are the core of News Corporation, and the Internet thing may bubble again tomorrow.

If it collapses, then it will collapse. It will be a good time for my son to calm down and focus on coming back to inherit his mantle.

"Father, the Internet is the future. I finally built myspace. I can't let it disappear like this. Facebook will completely occupy the entire market. At that time, no one will be able to compete with Eric Cooper! "

"If you insist, I can help you once. Contact Singer and you two can discuss it."

"Thank you, Dad."

James Murdoch hurriedly contacted Singer, the head of Fox Television, but the answer he received poured cold water on him.

"James, I understand your concerns, but now that Eric Cooper has kidnapped us, viewers across the country and the world are watching. If the live broadcast is suddenly interrupted, do you know what the consequences will be?"

"The credibility of the Fox network will plummet. We will lose a lot of loyal viewers. This will be a huge blow."

"And even if Fox cuts off the live broadcast, what about other TV stations? Do you think NBC and CBS will cooperate with us?"

"Singer, I know you are very familiar with them. I hope you can help convince those people, and this is also what my father wants."

The other side was silent for a moment. Just when James Murdoch thought there was still room for salvation, Singer replied with a big "NO"!

"James, I'm afraid I can't do anything about your request. I will explain it to Rupert in person. Goodbye."

Bang!

I didn't expect the other party to reject him. In order to deal with Eric Cooper, he also made a lot of efforts. Now he was abandoned immediately when he encountered difficulties. James Murdoch was so angry that he threw his mobile phone to the ground.

Who knew that the material of Nokia was very strong. After a bounce, it hit his face instead, and he screamed in pain.

"It is precisely because of the problems in the MySpace system that a series of sexual assault cases have occurred."

"As a social networking site, MySpace contains a large amount of pornographic content, and many people use nudity as a selling point to attract attention."

"MySpace has no age limit for registration. Tens of millions of minors wanted to enjoy virtual friendships, but when they logged in, they were greeted by pornographic elements that were everywhere and could not be blocked."

"There is no doubt that MySpace has become the best and most convenient tool for countless criminals to find their targets. It is a hotbed for crime and a hotbed for sexual assaults in the United States. The gathering place and base camp of the Internet!"

"I want to ask all the viewers in front of the TV, especially the parents, do you want your children to be in this dirty network environment?"

"Do you want your healthy and sunny children to become sexual perverts with only sex in their minds?"

"Do you want your children to be led out by criminals with disgusting means, and when you see him again, he is already a corpse?"

"Ask your heart, do you want this to happen?"

"Tell me, do you want it?"

Eric became more and more angry, his voice was roaring, his expression became ferocious, and the veins on his neck were faintly visible.

Wow!

Suddenly, his right hand swung violently, and hundreds of papers with clear criminal cases written on them were scattered like snowflakes.

These papers seemed as thin as cicada wings, but each one weighed a thousand pounds, representing a large number of victims.

Eric's words were more like a sharp sword, piercing the hearts of every viewer in front of the TV.

Even if they are not parents now, they will become parents in the future. Besides, people are all made of flesh and blood. Who can tolerate the occurrence of evil?

"NO!"

A roar came from somewhere in the crowd, and in the blink of an eye, the outside of the police station was filled with angry voices.

Looking at the excited crowd, Gadot knew that Eric had done it. He could always create miracles and turn the tide.

The tall figure in front of her filled her heart, and she felt that she had fallen again.
