Wasn’t He Zhichu scolding himself?
He had been mindful that Qin Yaoguang was his savior and Nianzhi’s biological mother, so he had tolerated her for many years.
Back in the other world, he still did not believe that Qin Yaoguang had anything to do with it, even when he knew something was wrong.
It was not because of any other reason, but because she was Gu Nianzhi’s biological mother.
How could a biological mother be so vicious and ruthless to her own daughter and want to get rid of her as soon as possible?
He had subconsciously ruled out this possibility at the time.
However, when he returned, he found Qin Yaoguang’s undisguised malice toward Gu Nianzhi, especially when she had used all her methods to obtain her “body” for the experiment. That firm belief in his heart had completely collapsed.
Not every biological mother was worthy of being a mother.
The word ‘mother’ was definitely not just tied by blood.
..
Just as the car carrying Qin Yaoguang returned to the base, He Zhichu’s phone rang.
He took out his phone and looked at it. It was a call from the company commander that he had left behind to guard Qin Yaoguang’s lab.
“What happened?” He Zhichu asked crisply.
There must be something wrong with him calling at this time.
“Company Commander reporting. Someone tried to sneak attack the lab and was killed on the spot.” The Company Commander’s voice was very nervous. “But now, many ordinary citizens, pushing and shoving us, have surrounded us, and are asking us to leave the hospital…”
“Are they really ordinary citizens?” He Zhichu scoffed. “They are not ordinary citizens. They are bandits who are not afraid of death when facing armed soldiers. Arrest them all and let them wait for interrogation!”
“… Chief, can we?” The Company Commander did not dare to point his gun at these ordinary citizens.
“If anything happens, I will take care of it for you!” He Zhichu said coldly, and his attitude very firm.
The Company Commander on the other side was stifled, but he saw a “ordinary citizen” lifting a brick and about to smash it at the head of a small soldier beside him. The Company Commander reflexively fired a shot, hitting the man’s wrist.
The brick in that person’s hand fell to the ground with a plop, and he held onto his bleeding hand while screaming wildly.
The “ordinary citizens” who were about to surround them all fled when they saw this.
As expected, they were not “ordinary citizens”…
The Company Commandersighed in his heart, and his back hardened.
With Major General He’s support, things were simply different.
..
In order to prevent the people behind Qin Yaoguang from launching another sneak attack, He Zhichu decided to bring her back to the base.
If there were still people who could force their way into the military base, then only an army mutiny could make it possible.
The most heavily guarded small building in the military base was the temporary prison where Qin Yaoguang was being held.
However, Qin Yaoguang had made up her mind not to speak and she only waited for her lawyer.
She was not completely ignorant of the law and knew that He Zhichu could only hold her for forty-eight hours with the arrest warrant.
After forty-eight hours, she would either be handed over to the court, or she would be released.
With her status and identity, it was impossible to imprison her without valid reason.
His prediction was not wrong.
On social media, the news of the arrest of the famous biomedical expert, philanthropist, and brain surgeon Qin Yaoguang, who was only one step away from the Nobel Prize, quickly spread.
The Qin Corporation’s Private Hospital had been operating for so many years, so it also had its own network and social status. There were many people who stood up for her.
From celebrities to government officials, from ordinary people to business tycoons, they were all demanding that the military announce the reason for Qin Yaoguang’s arrest. There were even people who launched an online petition signing campaign.
At the same time, there were also people within the military who disagreed with He Zhichu’s actions. Some even had some complaints against He Zhichu’s father, He Chengjian.
However, the members of the Military Supreme Council were on He Zhichu’s side because they knew more and more comprehensive information. However, most of the information here could not be made public.
Even if their own citizens knew about this information, not all of the citizens were loyal to this country. There were voluntaryolunta spies, foreign spies, and intelligence agents.
Therefore, the public’s right to know was only a relative concept to a large extent.
When it came to national security, the public’s right to know had to be compromised.
He Zhichu actually didn’t care how the public clamored on the internet.
But he couldn’t not abide by the law.
The military’s arrest warrant only gave him 48 hours.
After 48 hours, he had to hand Qin Yaoguang over to the court martial and wait for her to appear in court.
Although he really wanted to torture Qin Yaoguang, he was only thinking about it. He could not lay a hand on Qin Yaoguang until he was sure that she was guilty, so as not to leave any evidence behind and affect the trial.
..
Gu Nianzhi was also paying close attention to the progress of the case. After all, she was both the victim and the lawyer.
When she woke up one night, the internet was flooded with posts claiming Qin Yaoguang’s innocence. It almost blinded Gu Nianzhi’s big, manga-like eyes.
“Is this Qin Yaoguang really that amazing? Look at this post, she’s like a goddess reincarnated, a bodhisattva appearing…” Gu Nianzhi clicked her tongue. She held her phone as she browsed through the viral posts and viral news searches on the Internet. “If I remember correctly, the Qin Corporation’s Private Hospital is a private hospital. It’s known for being expensive, so how did it suddenly become a hailmark of public health?”
Gu Nianzhi was unhappy when she saw so many posts that slandered He Zhichu both openly and covertly.
How was this a slandering He Zhichu?
This was slandering Gu Nianzhi!
He Zhichu had stood up for her, and that was why he had attracted so much negative public opinion.
Gu Nianzhi read the posts for the whole morning and finally couldn’t take it anymore.
“They are ganging up on Young Master He… is the next step going to be slandering me?” Gu Nianzhi made up her mind and said to Lu Jin, “Dad, I want to investigate the development of the Qin Corporation’s Private Hospital and also investigate the situation of the Qin’s Orphanage. I don’t believe that such a private group without social supervision can be so noble!”
Weren’t they all willing to do anything for money? Social responsibility and conscience? They didn’t exist.
Lu Jin looked at her in confusion. “Why are you investigating the Qin Corporation’s Private Hospital? They’ve been running private hospitals for decades, and they’re spread all over the country. Their reputation is indeed good. As for the Qin’s Orphanage…”
“What’s wrong with the Qin Orphanage?” Gu Nianzhi’s heart skipped a beat, and she asked in surprise, “Is there a problem?”
“… I don’t know if there’s a problem, but Young Master He’s mother, Lawyer Qin, was an orphan adopted by the Qin Orphanage.” Lu Jin scratched his head in embarrassment. “Did you know?”
“… I heard that Lawyer Qin was an orphan. So, she was an orphan in the Qin Orphanage.” Gu Nianzhi’s jet-black eyes rolled around. “An orphan from an orphanage who stole the fiancé of the heiress of the Qin family… how melodramatic!”
“Melodramatic?” Lu Jin frowned unhappily. “Don’t talk about great Lawyer Qin like that. She’s smart, capable, kind-hearted, persistent, and independent. If someone were to choose, why would I choose Qin Yaoguang?”
Gu Nianzhi: “…”
“But, to be honest, Qin Yaoguang is much more beautiful than Lawyer Qin based on her looks.” Gu Nianzhi, feeling a little resentful for the first time, couldn’t help touching her face.
She would rather have an average appearance than look so much like Qin Yaoguang!
Especially her lips, they were practically the same as Qin Yaoguang’s.
Lu Jin snorted, crossed his legs, and poked her with his hand. “Shallow. You only know how to look at a person’s face. You’re head over heels in love with Major General Huo probably because of his face, right?”
“You can’t say that.” Gu Nianzhi pretended to think for a moment. “Major General Huo is charming me not just because of his face, but without his face, it would be absolutely impossible!”
“You’re such a little girl!” Lu Jin shook his head with a smile and stood up. “Okay, I’ll help you investigate the Qin Corporation’s Private Hospital and the Qin Orphanage’s operations over the years.”
“Dad, how are you going to investigate?” Gu Nianzhi’s eyes lit up and she chased after him. “Are you going to hack their internal system? ! Let me learn, okay? !”
Lu Jin nodded proudly. “Daughter, come and see your dad show off! I’ll show you what a real computer expert is, or else I’ll have a toothache when I see you worship that little b*stard Zhao Liangze like a God!”
Gu Nianzhi laughed. “Dad, you’re even jealous of Zhao Liangze?”
“Who’s jealous of him?” Lu Jin retorted. “Is it wrong for me to tell the truth? If you have the ability, let Zhao Liangze come and compare whether he can crack more password programs or whether I can crack more!”
“Okay, okay. Dad is the best. I won’t accept any retorts!” Gu Nianzhi flattered Lu Jin so much that he felt pleased and smug.
He practically floated all the way back to his suite across the street. He turned on his high-profile computer, which was comparable to a server, and began to show Gu Nianzhi what the “ultimate hacking system” was.
Lu Jin’s hand speed was so fast that he typed on the mechanical keyboard. In less than five seconds, he had broken the network security system that the Lu Corporation had set up for the Qin Corporation’s Private Hospital sysytem.
Gu Nianzhi was stunned for a moment and said reluctantly, “Dad, you cheated! The Qin Corporation’s Private Hospital security system was created by your company. Do you still need to crack the password? !”
Lu Jin rolled his eyes, and he said, “Be patient, my daughter. This is only the external system. Their internal network system does not use our company’s security system. Even if it’s our company’s network security system, it uses a dynamic password, not a static password. So, even if I’m a major shareholder of the company, I don’t know what the password is.”
Gu Nianzhi replied with an “oh” and was a little embarrassed. She quickly clenched her little fists and gave Lu Jin a back rub as she said obsequiously, “I know dad is the best. I was just saying that. Dad, don’t be angry, don’t be angry!”
The dynamic password was indeed difficult to crack because the key was always different and required more knowledge.
Lu Jin passed through all the obstacles and finally broke into the back door of the Qin Corporation’s Private Hospital’s internal network system.
His fingers stopped moving and his eyes were fixed on the flashing blue cursor on the computer screen. His expression became serious as he said, “This is indeed a bit difficult. I need to study it carefully.”
“Even you can’t break it right away?” Gu Nianzhi raised her eyebrows. “This Qin Corporation is really extraordinary…”
“This was the idea put forward by a very famous cryptographer. He said he wanted to build the strongest shield in the world.” Although Lu Jin was not the most skilled cryptographer, he was very familiar with the cutting-edge technology in this area.
“Then he didn’t come up with a way to crack it?” Gu Nianzhi asked hurriedly, “This method of building a password is indeed unheard of.”
At least she had never seen such a password setup in the other world.
“… He passed away before he could come up with a way to crack it.” Lu Jin shrugged. “So many people have been working on developing a way to crack it over the years, but there doesn’t seem to be a particularly effective and fast method yet.”
“Dad, do you want to give it a try?” Gu Nianzhi asked cautiously. She felt that Lu Jin was eager to give it a try, so she decided to quietly add fuel to the fire.
Lu Jin smiled, rubbed his palms together, and said, “Since my daughter needs it, I’ll give it a try!”
Soon, Lu Jin devoted himself to cracking the internal network password of the Qin Corporation’s Private Hospital. Gu Nianzhi searched for information about the Qin Corporation’s Private Hospital and the Qin Orphanage on the Internet.
She had to admit that the Qin Corporation’s Private Hospital had a good reputation on the internet, so good that there was no negative news at all.
Because as soon as there was any negative news, it was immediately deleted.
Gu Nianzhi remembered that a few days ago, a few people had gone to the Qin Corporation’s Private Hospital to cause trouble. At that time, Qin Yaoguang had been flustered and exhausted.
It had only been a few days, but those negative news had disappeared without a trace.
The more it was like this, the more Gu Nianzhi felt that the Qin Corporation’s Private Hospital would not be clean.
The reason was simple. To be able to support Qin Yaoguang and her lab, this Qin Corporation’s Private Hospital definitely wasn’t ethical.
Gu Nianzhi, intending to dig deeper into the internet, changed her search methods several times. At this moment, Lu Jin cheered, “It’s cracked!”
Gu Nianzhi: “…”
She looked at her watch. It had only been half an hour.
Therefore, the world’s strongest shield had only lasted half an hour in front of a true genius like Lu Jin.
Gu Nianzhi’s lips curled into a smile.
She ran over to Lu Jin’s computer and saw that he was downloading the contents of the other party’s internal network at high speed.
However, within a few minutes, the other party discovered that the internal network had been hacked. Very quickly, the other party pulled out the network cable and their connection was cut off.
Lu Jin shook his head in pity. “We’ve only downloaded less than one-tenth of the content. The other party is too vigilant.”
“It’s okay. One-tenth of the content is enough for us to study!” Gu Nianzhi patted Lu Jin’s shoulder happily and asked him to send the downloaded content to her. She turned around and went back to her room to study it properly.
..
Time passed very quickly. Forty-six hours passed in a flash, and soon there were only two hours left.
After Gu Nianzhi had used her secondary account on Weibo to test the waters with a few posts questioning the illegal operation of the Qin Corporation’s Private Hospital. The uproar on the internet had died down.
After the initial instigation, the netizens began to think rationally.
And many things could not withstand everyone’s “rational thinking”.
As more and more negative news about the Qin Corporation’s Private Hospital surfaced again, the Qin Corporation’s shares fell below the daily limit twice in a row.
The shareholders of the Qin Corporation could no longer sit still and urged the silent Old Master Qin to come out and hold the fort.
During these forty-six hours, Qin Yaoguang could endure it. She did not speak, eat, or even drink water.
Unable to sleep under the headlights, she became haggard. However, she still did not make a sound.
In the last two hours, Qin Yaoguang’s father finally appeared with Wen Shouyi.
“Young Master He, Old Master Qin has brought his lawyer to see his daughter,” He Zhichu’s personal secretary reported to him quietly.
He Zhichu looked at Qin Yaoguang’s pale face on the monitor and raised his hand. “Let them in.”
Qin Yaoguang’s father was already over seventy years old. When he appeared in front of people in the past, he had always looked youthful and energetic. However, he looked exceptionally old today. He had to pant every few steps and was constantly supported by Wen Shouyi.
One look and one could tell that he had suffered a huge mental blow.
“Old Master Qin, please sit.” He Zhichu walked in very politely.
Old Master Qin’s nose turned sour and tears flowed down his face. He almost knelt down to He Zhichu. “Young Master He, please let me see my daughter for the sake of an old man like me…”
