Chapter 271 3D Prosthetic Eye
After that day, Zhou Ming never appeared in Hong Kong again. On the day he left Hong Kong, he took a picture of his plane ticket and sent it to Zhou Wansheng.
He explained that in order to avoid unnecessary speculation from outsiders, he would not change his surname Zhou and would just treat it as an ordinary surname. In any case, he would not be returning to China in the future, so it would not matter if he did not change it.
As for the two children's household registration, he transferred it to Zhao Manni's account, since Zhao Manni didn't care anyway.
Looking at everything Zhou Ming had arranged, Zhou Wansheng sighed, "At least he has a conscience."
Wang Yanzhi nodded: "After all, you and I raised them ourselves, unlike those two younger ones. When they were little, they were taken to live with us outside, and when they grew up, they went to Beijing. Alright, let's not talk about them anymore. How's the company? I was thinking of going to the Gu family's place to spend the New Year with the kids. If you don't get this sorted out quickly, I'll go there by myself!"
Zhou Wansheng said helplessly, "It's still being dealt with. This can't be resolved overnight. I also want to resolve it immediately, but Wang Tianbao's influence in the company wasn't built in a day, but over decades. If I'm not careful, our family's company might change hands to the Wang family. How will I compensate the children then? You have to let me make some arrangements. I just eliminated some of his influence, and he must know about it abroad. He'll probably be back in a couple of days. This is a tough battle, and we can't rush it!"
Wang Yanzhi understood this principle and knew that she couldn't rush things, but when she thought of her son whom she hadn't seen for decades, how could she not be anxious?
Lijia Village.
In the afternoon, Li Sen and the old lady returned.
"They said someone paid her to come here, with the aim of taking Ayin to the mountains and not letting her out!" Li Sen looked at Ayin and said helplessly, "Did your Gu family offend someone? It's always your family that gets into trouble?"
Gu Yin nodded: "We know who it is. It's alright, Village Chief, we can handle it."
The old lady nodded, "You don't need to get involved. Just be a fair village chief."
As the saying goes, "When gods fight, mortals suffer."
If the village chief gets involved, it will affect him.
Li Sen recalled what happened to Gu Le, and then thought about what happened to Gu Yin. It seemed that the person who was causing trouble for the Gu family had a powerful background. If he had the ability, he could help, but he was just a small village chief and couldn't help at all. He didn't want to end up dragging them down instead!
"Then I won't get involved, but I can guarantee that as long as we're in our village, no one can harm the people of our village!"
Li Mingfang smiled gratefully and said, "Your words are enough!"
After Li Sen left, Gu Yin looked at the old lady and asked, "Grandma, how are those two?"
The old woman revealed the results: "Officer Wang said that the two are suspected of human trafficking! The evidence is conclusive, and they will be sentenced. However, he will also go back to their village to investigate whether there are any other victims. After all, she is so skilled at this, and she comes from the mountains, so the specific situation cannot be determined yet. But what is certain is that she will be sentenced to at least 5 years!"
Gu Yin nodded upon hearing this. Since the two of them had been arrested, the others certainly wouldn't be able to catch them. Gu Yin didn't care, since everyone knew the truth. However, because of this incident, Gu Yin realized that those people didn't even know she was in high school and still thought she was in junior high. After Li Dazhi became a vegetable, had the people in Beijing stopped sending anyone over?
Little did she know that after the pawns they had arranged were eliminated one by one, Mu Hong and Zhou Tengfei dared not make any big moves and could only act stealthily, otherwise, if Zhou Wansheng and the others found out, everything would be over.
Moreover, Zhou Tengfei will be an adult next year. After he comes of age, Zhou Wansheng and Wang Yanzhi will transfer some of their shares to Zhou Tengfei. At that time, with Zhou Tengfei's shares, plus Zhou Ming's, plus Wang Tianbao and Mu Hong's own shares, plus the shares of their faction of shareholders, there will be no problem at all for Zhou's Shipping to be renamed Wang's Hangyuan!
That's why they've kept a low profile all year to avoid any major problems at this critical juncture. Compared to the Zhou family's shares, Gu Yin and the others are just a small matter!
With three days until Lunar New Year's Eve, villagers who had gone out to work were gradually returning home, and shops in the city were closed. However, the market was busier than ever because of the preparations for the New Year. So when Gu Qinglang and his family returned, Gu Qingming and his wife had to stay there to keep an eye on things.
When Gu Qinglang and the others returned, they also brought a modified computer from S City for Gu Yin.
"Master Chen said this computer runs faster than those on the market. Both the hardware and the operating system are from overseas, and the memory is much higher. Even with a network card, there won't be any lag. Here's a network card; you can try it."
After Li Li finished speaking, he handed a very thin laptop to Gu Yin.
Gu Yin took it and tried it out. She found that this thing was even more powerful than the one she had just been reborn in her previous life!
Indeed, the best things are often not those readily available on the market, but rather those that are always in the hands of professionals.
"I'm very satisfied and I like it very much. Please thank Master Chen for me later!" Gu Yin put away her computer, smiled at Li Li, and then noticed that the skin around the prosthetic eye he wore was red.
"Are you having an allergic reaction?" Gu Yin asked, puzzled.
Li Li shook his head: "It's not an allergy. It's just that my eyes aren't used to wearing this yet, so they're a little red and swollen. But don't worry, I've already been to the hospital, and the doctor said it's nothing. After a while, I'll get used to it, and then the redness and swelling will stop."
Gu Yin looked at him carefully for a moment, thought for a moment, and then said, "What if there was a kind of prosthetic eye that could be like a scanner, automatically recognizing things it touched and storing them in a person's brain, allowing them to 'see' things in the dark?"
Li Li was surprised, then shook his head: "There is no such thing. My attending physician said that the most advanced technology currently available is this one I'm wearing in my eye, only the material used in the other eye is different."
After becoming wealthy, he wanted to have the surgery again, but the doctor's words forced him to give up.
"But whether that will happen in the future, we don't know."
Gu Yin nodded. The year she died, a team at the University of Hong Kong did propose this concept, called "3D artificial eye." However, Gu Yin didn't know how far their research had progressed. At the time, the news had trended on social media, and everyone was quite looking forward to it.
After she finishes the informatics competition, she should unlock some computer-related knowledge in the library, and she can study it later!
After finishing the spring cleaning and making tofu, the New Year is just around the corner.
