This time, Zhuang Li was summoned by the police while he was sleeping.
“Why did you ask me to come to the police station?” He put on a well-made silver-gray suit and was currently standing in front of the wardrobe selecting a tie. His fingertips followed the grid from left to right, and from right to left. It seemed difficult to make a decision.
“Zhu Jianrui called the police and said that you invaded MIK’s network yesterday, causing huge losses to the company. Please come back and accept our investigation.” Two policemen stood behind him with impatient faces.
“The MIK network was attacked between 3 or 4 in the afternoon and 7:30 in the evening yesterday, right?” Zhuang Li picked out a silver-gray tie with black stripes and a pure black silk tie and stood in front of the mirror and repeatedly made a comparison.
The two police officers became increasingly impatient and asked in a very angry tone: “How did you know when his company was attacked by hackers?”
Zhuang Li raised his eyebrows, looked at the two of them in the mirror, and said in a mocking tone: “Don’t you two go online? Such a big thing has been spread all over the Internet, and everyone in China knows about it.”
The two policemen, who thought they had caught him, immediately blushed.
“If it had been that time, I would have been staying in the hotel alone and had not gone anywhere.” Zhuang Li tied the pure black tie around his neck and finally began to arrange his hair.
The policeman who had been here for more than half an hour took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress the emotions that were about to explode: “In other words, no one can prove that you had no access to a computer at that time? Well, please turn your computer over and take it with you when following us to the police station!”
“The computer is on the balcony, you can go get it yourself.” Zhuang Li carefully stroked the curls on his forehead, because the curvature was not quite what he expected.
The two police officers immediately went to pack the laptop.
Zhuang Li washed off the styling gel on his hands, seemed to remember something, and suddenly said: “If it was a network intrusion that happened yesterday afternoon, then I should be able to find an alibi.”
“What?” The two policemen were slightly stunned.
Zhuang Li took out his mobile phone and made a video call. A deep and majestic voice came from the screen, but it also revealed a hint of unexplainable tenderness and doting: “Have you slept enough? I was afraid of waking you up when I left, so I didn’t say hello to you. The equipment hasn’t been purchased yet…”
“Shh, I have outsiders here.” Zhuang Li raised his slender index finger.
Le Zhengming, who was about to talk about business, immediately hid the smile and tenderness in his eyes, and his tone was much more majestic and urgent than before: “Who is there with you?”
Zhuang Li pointed the camera at the two policemen. “Zhu Jianrui called the police and said that I hacked MIK’s network.” He explained simply.
The two police officers walked up to him, intending to also interrogate the person on the phone screen, but when they saw the other person’s face clearly, their knees weakened and they almost fell to their knees.
“Lelele, General Le Zhengming!” they shouted in fear.
Le Zhengming returned to China secretly. In order to hide his itinerary, he stayed in this five-star hotel and did not seal off the entire floor. He didn’t like to do such high-profile things, not to mention that the armed forces around him were enough to ensure that he would not be attacked by any assassins.
Therefore, the various administrative agencies in City B did not know that he had arrived.
Le Zhengming looked at the two policemen expressionlessly, his eyes as sharp as blades. His style of dealing with people had always been like this. He was neither approachable nor pleasant. Resolute, cold, majestic, and iron-blooded were the common impressions everyone had of him.
“Do you know General Le Zhengming?” The two policemen saluted hurriedly, and then looked at Zhuang Li with shocked expressions.
Zhuang Li pointed the camera at himself and subconsciously smoothed the curly hair on his forehead.
His actions made the majestic and cold Le Zhengming soften his expression in an instant, and a little smile appeared in his eyes.
Zhuang Li also smiled with his thin lips and said bluntly, “Give me your surveillance video.”
“What surveillance video?” He asked, but Le Zhengming immediately thought of the video of the young man standing naked on the balcony stretching his slender limbs in the golden sunlight.
Because of this dream-like image, he suffered from insomnia for several nights. When he woke up in the morning, his body was swollen and painful. That was his secret, a treasure he couldn’t bear to share with anyone.
His expression became more and more serious, but his ears were red and bleeding.
Zhuang Li almost immediately noticed the embarrassment he tried to hide, and with a slight turn of his eyes, he recalled his own state.
“What video would I be talking about? In order to ensure that no suspicious people appear around, you should have installed surveillance cameras around the room, right? Send me the video you took yesterday afternoon, and I will take it to the police station as an alibi.” Zhuang Li raised the corners of his bright red lips, with a hint of bad taste in his smile.
Le Zhengming immediately relaxed and replied, “Okay, I’ll send it to you right away.” He lowered his head to operate the computer, and the red color and hot temperature of his auricles quickly receded.
A video was sent to Zhuang Li’s mobile phone.
“Then I’m going out.” Zhuang Li waved goodbye, then as if thinking of something, he suddenly walked into the bathroom, closed the door, smiled and whispered: “Does my body look good?”
“Cough cough cough…” An earth-shattering cough came from the other end of the phone.
Zhuang Li laughed loudly, his face full of cunning, as he finally said softly, “It’s okay, you can take it and enjoy it, I don’t mind.”
He hung up the video call.
Le Zhengming, who was far away at the other end of the signal, opened his mouth. He originally wanted to say, “I’m sorry, I’ll delete it,” but he tightened his thin lips, held his forehead and smiled uncontrollably.
The little fox was so naughty…
….
When Zhuang Li arrived at the police station, Zhu Jianrui was holding a mobile phone studded with diamonds in one hand, and was grabbing a policeman by the collar with the other, as he roared: “Do you understand this is the technology of burning after reading? It is made with the help of VBA, a file self-deletion function must be implemented by the function. Zhuang Li did send a text message to my mother, but he is a hacker and he used technical means to erase it. I didn’t lie, and my mother can testify for me!”
Zhu Miaomiao quickly nodded in agreement: “Yes, yes, I received that text message yesterday, and I can testify! My son’s company must have been hacked by Zhuang Li!”
A group of policemen gathered around, pulled the frantic Zhu Jianrui away, pressed him down on a chair, and repeatedly comforted him: “Calm down and speak slowly if you have anything to say.”
Seeing this funny scene, Zhuang Li immediately chuckled. He walked into the office with his palms clasped and greeted politely: “Good afternoon, everyone.”
“It’s you!” Zhu Jianrui, who finally calmed down, began to struggle violently again, and even three or four police officers could not hold him down.
“You ruined my company! I’m going to kill you! Let me go, let me go quickly!” He pulled his neck and roared, the hatred in his eyes seeming as if it could destroy the world.
Zhuang Li ignored him completely and directly handed a flash card to the police with a gentle tone: “I’m here to submit my alibi. When MIK was attacked by a hacker from 3 to 7:30 yesterday afternoon, I did not touch the computer for a long time.”
The two policemen who took him back to the police station said something in the ears of their colleague. The man’s cold expression immediately changed to surprise, and then he became very frightened. He took the flash card with both hands and said quickly: “Okay. I will confirm your alibi immediately.”
A surveillance video began to play. In it, they saw Zhuang Li lying on the wide balcony wearing a nightgown and basking in the sun, with a pot of coffee, a laptop and many exquisite cakes at hand. There were two times when he would type hard on the computer keyboard, but the time was short, less than half an hour in total.
He spent the rest of the time drinking coffee, eating cake, swinging his legs and squinting his eyes, looking very comfortable.
The police checked the authenticity of the video and ruled out the possibility of editing. He immediately stood up and said, “Mr. Zhuang, you can leave.”
In the online battle that lasted for several hours, the hacker who dominated it all had to control the keyboard at all times to ensure that he would not be repelled. In the video, Zhuang Li was lazily basking in the sun and eating cake leisurely, which was enough to show that he was not involved in yesterday’s crime.
In addition to this evidence, his computer was also clean and contained no suspicious records.
“He can’t leave! He is the culprit! Catch him! Catch him quickly! Do you know that my uncle is Gong Xuanqi!” Zhu Jianrui yelled like crazy. He had always been calm and self-possessed, but he became so unreasonable and crazy in front of Zhuang Li.
After all, he was just a fourteen-year-old minor. After experiencing severe beatings from society, he finally understood what it meant to have no way to ask for help and to be trampled on by others. And this feeling was often what he inflicted on others.
As soon as Gong Xuanlin walked into the police station, he heard his son’s last arrogant words, and his face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. In order to ensure that his eldest brother won the election, even he had to keep his tail between his legs. How dare the mother and son go to the police station!
He strode over, slapped Zhu Jianrui hard, and yelled: “Is this how your mother has taught you for so many years? Our Gong family’s teachings are not like this! Shut up!”
“Husband!” Zhu Miaomiao quickly grabbed Gong Xuanlin’s arm.
“When did I marry you? What are you shouting about?” Gong Xuanlin glared at Zhu Miaomiao angrily, attacking her self-esteem mercilessly.
“Xuan, Xuanlin, don’t…” Zhu Miaomiao covered her mouth and started crying before she could finish her words. Tears welled up in her eyes, and the despair in her heart continued. In front of so many police officers, Gong Xuanlin denied his relationship with her. Did this mean that he was not ready to marry her?
“Xuanlin, don’t be so cruel! Xiao Rui is going bankrupt——”
Zhu Miaomiao tried to use the bitterness trick but was interrupted again by Gong Xuanlin: “Stop crying, this is outside! Don’t you think it’s embarrassing?”
Zhu Miaomiao choked.
This time she couldn’t even cry. Through Gong Xuanlin’s cold eyes, she finally realized that this man didn’t love her, not at all. She subconsciously looked at Zhuang Li but saw even colder contempt and ridicule in his eyes.
Neither of these men loved her anymore. This realization made her spin.
