I Get Stronger by Taking the Blame, and the Whole Company Is Panicking

On the day he was laid off, programmer Chen Mo was not only pressured into signing a resignation letter claiming he was "incompetent," but also had the blame for deleting the company database and leaking secrets pinned on him by his team lead. The economic crimes unit came straight to his door. Just as the whole company was making him their scapegoat, the [Scapegoat System] suddenly awakened. Every mess others dumped on him became a source of power: he could trace data back to its source, see through lies, and identify who was really responsible. So when the company tried to make him take the fall, he produced proof of the database deletion on the spot. When the capitalists tried to buy his silence, he turned around and put the whole chain of people behind it on the trending list. Outsourcing, livestreaming, healthcare, supply chains... He tore apart, layer by layer, every system designed to prey on honest people.
