"Are those people downstairs from our company also summoned by you?"
Elly Campbell looked at Joseph Wood, her gaze growing increasingly sharp.
Receiving this, Joseph Wood’s eyes flickered, "Those are all my dad’s colleagues."
Elly Campbell looked at him, her expression somewhat intriguing, "Your father’s colleagues sure are numerous."
Having said that, she closed the door, got into the car, and left Joseph Wood pacing anxiously on the spot.
"That Joseph Wood is lying. Have someone keep a watch on him, see who he’s in contact with."
A chill settled at the bottom of Elly Campbell’s eyes.
Joseph Wood was just a worker’s son; his social circle was practically limited to the school. That person must also be a student from the University of Science and Technology in Alaska.
The University of Science and Technology in Alaska is renowned for its computer technology; quite a few elites in the field of computer science have come from there. A few years ago, a hacker who infiltrated the State Security Department was caught.
That hacker was a top student from the University of Science and Technology in Alaska.
Therefore, it was not surprising that the Technical Department of the company couldn’t find that person’s IP address.
University of Science and Technology in Alaska...
In Elly Campbell’s mind, the image of an exceptionally beautiful face suddenly flashed, and her brows furrowed instantly.
"Ignore the things happening online. The staff should do what they need to do. Let them make a fuss. The more you pay attention to them, the more they will jump around. If an employee gets hurt by them, sue directly."
"Understood, CEO Campbell. I have noted everything down."
Greenhill Ainley still admired this forthright character, after all, in a society where ’public opinion is to be feared,’ it could force someone who originally made sense to apologize and placate those who made no sense at all. What kind of situation is that?
By the time she returned to the company, the number of people causing a commotion downstairs had grown, some of them not wearing workers’ outfits, but rather local citizens who had been incited to anger by postings online.
When they saw her car stop, they immediately rushed over.
This incident had escalated from advocating for the workers to widespread cyberbullying that had spilled into real life.
At first, if Elly Campbell knew that those people were paid to damage her business, she wouldn’t have worried, but these people came spontaneously in the name of "justice."
It was this kind of person who was the most troublesome and could unwittingly cause harm to oneself.
"Come out, you morally corrupt little slut, heartless..."
"If you dare, open the door. What are you doing hiding in the car?"
"You come out right now..."
The car was surrounded so tightly that some even climbed onto the hood, wielding hammers to smash the windshield.
The driver was also quite frightened, and he looked back at Elly Campbell, whose face was as still as water.
"CEO Campbell, these people outside have gone mad, you absolutely mustn’t get out of the car now."
No sooner had Greenhill Ainley finished speaking than the side window glass was smashed.
The security guards maintaining order at the scene had already been injured by the crowd.
"Little slut, come out here, or else we’ll set your car on fire, and you’ll never be able to get out," shouted someone close to the window, pointing at Elly Campbell inside the car, without any expression on their face.
Knowing there was no avoiding it, Elly Campbell opened the door and prepared to get out.
Although the company’s security guards had been injured, they were still doing their duty; as soon as Elly Campbell got out, they squeezed in front of her to protect her, so that the angry mob rushing up did not hit her immediately.
The security guards shielded Elly Campbell as they made their way toward the building. However, the agitators were not willing to let her off that easily, and they followed in pursuit.
