Zhuang Han's car rushed towards the broken bridge at a speed of 120 yards per hour.
The tragedy of car crash and death seems to be inevitable.
However, in a flash, the out-of-control car automatically activated its brake system. The four wheels rubbed against the ground, making a sharp and harsh sound, leaving black drag marks on the road, and then it came to a halt on the edge of the broken bridge.
Zhuang Han and Zhuang Jincheng collapsed in their seats, their bodies drenched in cold sweat, their blank brains unable to think at all.
Several police officers immediately parked their cars and ran over. They squatted down to take a look, only to see that the front tire of the vehicle involved in the accident was only a few centimeters away from falling off the broken bridge. This was truly a real-life life-or-death situation!
"It's okay, get out of the car!" They opened the car door to help the person, but quickly turned their heads away, showing a forbearing expression.
Zhuang Jincheng was so scared that he peed his pants. The carriage was filled with a fishy smell that was very pungent.
Although Zhuang Han didn't piss himself, his heart was throbbing with pain. His knees gave way as he stepped out of the car, and he nearly collapsed. Two police officers pulled at his arms, finally getting him into the police car.
"Tell me the details." A policeman took out a notebook.
"This is murder! I suspect Zhuang Li did something to my car!" Zhuang Jincheng said shiveringly, wrapped in a blanket.
"Comrade police officer, my dad is frightened and his mind is a little unclear. Don't listen to him. My car hasn't been sent for inspection for a long time. There must be a problem with the brakes." Zhuang Han secretly helped his father.
At this time, Cambrian cannot afford to be involved in any scandal.
His car was specially customized and installed with a full set of intelligent software independently developed by Cambricon. On the day he drove it on the road, he was interviewed by several media outlets, demonstrating its superior and reliable performance.
If he told the police that the car's automatic driving system had been hacked and almost caused a fatal accident, it would definitely be another fatal blow to Cambrian.
If the news spread to the outside world, Zhuang Han could fully imagine what others would say about the Cambrian period.
[See, Cambrian's intelligent software is indeed unreliable! ]
[Master Zhuang is right. Cars equipped with Cambrian's intelligent software are all road killers!]
[Never buy a Cambrian car again! ]
Such remarks will completely ruin Cambrian's reputation.
How can a software company without a good reputation find partners? How can it attract investors? How can it capture market share?
What's more, even if he told the truth, would the police be able to find out the truth about the accident?
Zhuang Han secretly shook his head in his heart, thinking that the possibility was very small.
He was in IT, and he knew the extent of a skilled hacker's abilities. Killing someone without leaving a trace was just basic skill.
Does Zhuang Li have this technology?
Zhuang Han had never thought this way before, but now he was 100% sure that Zhuang Li could plan a perfect murder! He could only be thankful that he was alert enough. After hacking Zhuang Li's car last time, he immediately destroyed all the evidence and didn't let the other party find any evidence.
He reiterated to the police, "It was a brake problem, there was no other reason. Please take the car back for inspection. My father and I are feeling very unwell. Can we wait for the results of the inspection before recording our statements?"
Seeing that the two men were indeed very pale and had a strong smell of sweat and urine on their bodies, the police agreed.
Zhuang Jincheng lowered his head and clenched his teeth, but ultimately said nothing. He hadn't felt this same combination of anger and helplessness since the deaths of his ex-wife and Old Master Shao.
He never expected that his eldest son hid so deeply that he almost killed them and left them unable to speak out!

On the other side, Zhuang Li was standing at the door of the Shao family's old house, watching Zong Zhengming leave.
He leaned over and said to the person in the car window, "Is it okay for me to destroy Zhuang Han openly without using any illegal means?"
"Sure, come to me if you have any trouble." Zong Zhengming nodded, a hint of reluctance in his eyes. The brief encounter could no longer satisfy his inner desire.
"Thank you for coming on time." Zhuang Li lowered his waistline and moved closer to see the people in the car. He smiled and said, "You will have a good dream tonight."
"Sweet dreams to you too. Go to bed early and stop thinking about random things. Uncle is always on your side." Zong Zhengming pretended to be an elder, but all kinds of charming thoughts flashed through his mind.
"Uncle Zong Zheng, you care about me so much. What should I do if I like you more and more?" Zhuang Li put his arms on the car window, gently twirled his lover's tie with his slender fingers, and then slowly wrapped it around in circles.
Zong Zhengming's heart nearly jumped out of his chest at his small gesture. He even suspected that the other party had heard his heartbeat, which was like a drum.
"What are you doing? Go back to sleep. Xiao Li, drive." Zong Zhengming took back the tie and gave the order with a stern expression.
Zhuang Li withdrew his arm, and the driver drove the car forward, and the two separated in the night.
As they drove slowly, Zong Zhengming couldn't help but turn his head, letting his gaze follow the little curly-haired boy who was gradually moving away. His heart was still beating wildly, but it slowly became quiet because of the sudden reluctance and loss.
Zhuang Li also looked at him from afar, stretched out two slender fingers, and made a cigarette-holding gesture, with her crimson lips slightly pursed, as if simulating smoking, but also as if inviting a kiss.
Zong Zhengming's dark gaze was attracted by his seductive behavior. When he came to his senses, the blood in his body was boiling.
He was so easily controlled by a junior.
However, what he didn't expect was that Curly not only wanted to control his emotions, but also his dreams.
After falling asleep, he actually dreamed that this person was lying beside him, smoking a cigar.
It wasn't any other cigar, it was Zong Zhengming's cigar.
The man in the dream took a sip, then narrowed his narrow eyes and smiled softly. His eyes still held the same look that had frightened Zong Zhengming. It was like a soft, fluffy cloud, or like a blazing fire, burning brightly.
Zong Zhengming fell into the cloud and almost drowned in comfort; then he fell into the sea of fire and roared in the heat.
He suddenly opened his eyes and found that it was already daybreak. His body was wet and sticky all over.
"Heh~" Zong Zhengming covered his face and laughed bitterly with a hoarse voice.
How could he dream of such a ridiculous scene? What was even more ridiculous was that after waking up, he not only did not feel ashamed, but instead developed an even stronger desire.
He has completely lost control.

Zhuang Han didn't sleep very well this time either.
Zhuang Li's scheming and cunning far exceeded his expectations. He always felt that the other party would not let him go so easily.
As expected, after dawn, the Internet was full of news about "the autonomous driving system developed by Cambrian causing a major safety accident."
The aerial footage of how Zhuang Han's car ran out of control on the road and how the father and son waved their shirts to ask passers-by for help was played in full.
Public trust in self-driving cars has hit rock bottom.
Back then, in order to promote Cambrian, Zhuang Han invited many media to shoot this highly intelligent car, which also triggered a buying frenzy.
But now, anyone who buys the same car will become a pawn to retaliate against Zhuang Han.
It can be predicted that in the next few days, Huarui Manufacturing and Cambrian will be subject to a series of complaints from consumers, and relevant departments will also launch investigations into the product quality of these two companies.
The reputation, goodwill, production and sales of Huarui and Cambrian will be seriously affected.
Zhuang Han, who kept reading netizens' comments, gradually felt a huge pressure. He couldn't breathe, couldn't think, and couldn't even stand up.
He wanted Zhuang Li to fall off a broken bridge and die, and use his death to attack his competitors. So Zhuang Li copied his plan exactly, making him lose everything overnight.
Zhuang Li was personally raised by Mr. Shao. How could he be completely devoid of scheming? I underestimated him! Zhuang Han covered his face, thinking in frustration.
Liao Xiujing came over with a tray and whispered, "Xiaohan, eat something. Mommy heated up some porridge for you."
Zhuang Han supported his forehead with one hand and waved the other hand weakly.
Just then, a call came in, and the first thing they said was, "Mr. Zhuang, Cambricon's stock price has dropped again! All the companies that purchased our software have terminated their ties with us, and several have demanded huge compensation. Huarui just sent us a lawyer's letter demanding 1 billion in compensation."
Zhuang Han's expression changed slightly, and just as he was about to reply, someone on the other end anxiously called out, "Oh no! Our stock has hit the lower limit. The tax bureau, the quality supervision bureau, and the industry and commerce bureau are all here. Mr. Zhuang, please come over here quickly!"
Zhuang Han tried hard to maintain his calm on the surface and ordered, "You receive the leaders first, I'll be there soon." After hanging up the phone, he closed his eyes and was unable to break free from the feeling of confusion and helplessness for a long time.
Yesterday, he was still smiling and telling the media that he wanted to build Cambrian into the most commercially valuable high-tech company in the world, but today he has nothing.
The decree issued by Zong Zhengming cut off his path to profitability and disrupted his market layout; and Zhuang Li devalued his technology in front of the people of the entire country.
Last night’s car accident was reported online, and it dealt a devastating blow to Cambrian.
What to do? How to turn the tide? How to avoid bankruptcy? How to defeat Zhuang Li?
Zhuang Han's mind was filled with extremely serious questions, but he could not find the answers.
Under Zhuang Li's repeated suppression, he didn't have the slightest ability to resist. In the past, he always thought that Zhuang Li was a good-for-nothing who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, and that he had achieved his current glory only because of Mr. Shao's support.
Without the Shao family and the Zhuang family, what is Zhuang Li?
However, now he discovered with horror that Old Master Shao was not Zhuang Li's support, but the shackles that controlled him and the rules that governed him. When Old Master Shao was gone, Zhuang Li completely broke free from these shackles and these rules.
The real Zhuang Li is not a waste at all. On the contrary, he is unscrupulous and ruthless! Mr. Shao is dead, and he has gone crazy. God knows what he will do in the future!
Zhuang Han covered his face and finally admitted that he was wrong. It was as if he had accidentally released a wild animal from its cage.
