On the night of breaking up with Teng Xuan, Zhuang Li completely left the control of the Teng family and Zhuang Xin and moved into the apartment assigned by the school.
Si Ming and Zhong Xingyun helped him clean up and were busy until after eleven o'clock in the evening before they left.
Not long after the two left, there was a knock on Zhuang Li's door.
He raised his eyebrows, having anticipated something, but ignored it.
The knocks continued for a while, and then there was no movement. Half an hour later, when Zhuang Li climbed into bed and prepared to go to sleep, an agent responsible for protecting his safety called and said that they had caught six high school students who tried to kidnap him.
"We tracked the student who knocked on your door earlier and discovered he went to the back hills to meet up with five other people. We felt something was amiss and arrested the six on the spot. They were carrying ropes, daggers, and drugs. I suspect they were planning to kidnap you and have already handed them over to the Ministry of State Security. Mr. Zhuang, have you disclosed your research to any of the students around you?"
The agent asked cautiously.
"No," Zhuang Li denied, then casually guided him, "I think you could look up cyber hackers. I've used the internet to perform theoretical calculations."
"Okay, I understand! We will definitely get to the bottom of this matter!" the agent said in a firm tone.
"Thank you very much." Zhuang Li hung up the phone, pursed his lips and smiled, and finally turned on the computer in the apartment to check the follow-up developments of the matter.
The six people arrested were all sports students from Chongming who chose to live on campus for the convenience of training.
Although they were all rich second-generations and their families were very powerful, they had never seen the grand scene of the Ministry of State Security. They were taken to a secret base, locked in a cramped interrogation room, and shone with incandescent light, and they screamed and confessed everything.
The student with the best family background was particularly stubborn. He kept saying that the municipal party secretary was my uncle and that he wanted my uncle to expel all the people who arrested him.
The people from the Ministry of State Security were particularly ruthless. Within fifteen minutes, they brought the classmate's uncle in and also shone an incandescent light on his face.
The uncle was so angry that he almost fainted. He slapped his nephew's face several times and roared at the top of his lungs: "Are you fucking crazy? You're kidnapping people! Tell me who ordered you to do this, or you'll be locked up for life!"
Seeing that his powerful uncle couldn't save him, the classmate confessed and said that he was a good brother of Huang Zhe and Fang Yi Bo and came to help them get revenge.
So when you pull out the radish, you bring out the mud. That night, Huang Zhe and Fang Yi Bo were taken to the Ministry of State Security by fully armed agents.
Thanks to Zhuang Li's tip, a cyber expert from the Ministry of State Security discovered that his campus account had long been closely monitored by a hacker named "Red Falcon." In other words, Red Falcon knew everything Zhuang Li did online, suggesting he was a potential US spy.
The people from the Ministry of State Security immediately went to investigate Hong Xuan, and within half an hour, they also arrested Teng Xuan and took him to the Ministry of State Security.
The three people were very calm at first, always thinking that with their family background, there would be someone to support them even if the sky fell. However, not long after, the parents of the three people were also called by the Ministry of State Security and taken into the interrogation room to undergo the most severe interrogation.
Teng Wei sat next to his son, his hands handcuffed, his face illuminated by the light, and his nose pointed at by the interrogator. His heart was about to explode with panic.
He never thought that one day he would be arrested by the Ministry of State Security!
What is the Ministry of State Security?
This is the most mysterious and terrifying prison in China. Anyone who enters here will be skinned alive, no matter how strong or weak you are!
None of the once powerful national officials ever came out unscathed after entering here. Everything they had done was investigated clearly, and then those who were sentenced to death were sentenced to death, and those who were sentenced to life imprisonment were sentenced to life imprisonment. No matter who came to rescue them, it was useless!
Teng Wei is just a wealthy businessman, not a big shot who can call the wind and rain, and there is no way for him to leave this prison.
"What did you do? Tell me quickly! Do you want to destroy the Teng family?" In desperation, Teng Wei could only vent his anger on his son.
If his hands hadn't been handcuffed, he would have wanted to grab his son and beat him up.
Teng Xuan had never been frightened like this before, and he immediately confessed why he used the account Hongshun to monitor Zhuang Li.
"...I hate Zhuang Li, so I set up this trap. If he loses face, he will never return to the Teng family. I just want to drive him out, and it would be best if I could drive his mother out too." Teng Xuan concealed his most sinister intentions and only confessed part of the facts.
Unfortunately, when he said this, he had a lie detector connected to his hand.
"You're lying!" The agent from the Ministry of State Security stared at him sharply.
"I didn't lie." Teng Xuan shook his head quickly.
The polygraph gave a sharp hiss at just the right moment.
"If you fail the polygraph test, you'll spend the rest of your life in this interrogation room. Let's ask you again: why did you spy on and frame Zhuang Li? Who instructed you to do all this?"
After asking this question, the agent looked at Teng Wei and scolded him in a harsher tone: "Is your Teng family involved with foreign forces?"
Hearing the words "foreign forces," Teng Wei finally realized why the Ministry of State Security had come after him. Did they think the Teng family were spies planted in China by foreign powers?!
It’s over! Teng Wei’s mind suddenly popped up these two blood-red words, and the breath he had been holding on to was instantly deflated.
No company can continue to operate peacefully if the government suspects it of ties to foreign forces. It's incredibly easy for the government to crack down on a traitorous company. Cut off loans, supply, and sales channels, and the company will go bankrupt within a month!
But the question is, what does all this have to do with Zhuang Li? His son just hacked into Zhuang Li's account and played a little joke on him, so how can it be linked to treason?
Teng Wei racked his brains but couldn't figure out the connection.
Just then, the official in charge of interrogating them received a call and left for a few minutes. When he came back, his gloomy face was tinged with a hint of redness.
His subordinates looked towards him.
The two looked at each other, nodded silently, and then their eyes lit up.
Dozens of China's top scientists from the Central Academy of Sciences have already reached a definitive conclusion—Zhuang Li's theory of dimensionality is indeed true! It is epoch-making! Its brand-new algorithm will change China, and then the world!
On this basis, the national leader personally called and requested that Zhuang Li's security level be raised to the highest level, and that preparations for building a laboratory dedicated to Zhuang Li begin tonight.
From now on, the entire Ministry of State Security must be responsible for Zhuang Li's safety.
As a result, the agents became colder and harsher in their attitude towards the Teng father and son.
"If you don't want to confess, just stay here. No one in the outside world will care about your disappearance." Several agents began to pack up the things on the table.
Teng Wei, who was handcuffed to a chair, slammed into his son beside him, shouting at the top of his lungs: "Tell me! Do you want to die here? Huh?"
Teng Xuan thought the game was over and all his nightmares were a thing of the past, but he never expected to find himself in another, even more terrifying nightmare. He had no way of connecting Zhuang Li to the Ministry of State Security.
He couldn't figure out how all this happened no matter how hard he tried.
His eyes can always see through all the causes and effects in the world. Then he stretches out a finger and gently touches the wings of a butterfly, causing the storm he wants to cause and destroying the enemy he wants to destroy.
However, this powerful ability to transcend the world has repeatedly failed on Zhuang Li.
He could not see through Zhuang Li's depth, nor could he figure out Zhuang Li's ways. He never expected that when he stepped on Zhuang Li, he would step on empty air and suddenly fall into the abyss.
Seeing his usually high-spirited and capable father driven mad by despair, Teng Xuan covered his face and choked with sobs, screaming, "I confess, I confess now! I don't want to drive Zhuang Li away, I want to completely destroy him and force him to commit suicide!"
The interrogation room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
The agents, already prejudiced against Teng Xuan, now stared at him intently, their eyes gleaming with ferocity, the look of a ferocious beast encountering its prey.
It was obvious that they had completely regarded Teng Xuan as an enemy because of this sentence.
This time, the polygraph did not sound an alarm, and everything Teng Xuan said was true.
Teng Wei looked at his son in disbelief.
Several agents began to dig deeper into the truth behind this: "Why did you force Zhuang Li to commit suicide? Who ordered you to do that?"
"No one ordered me to do that. I just can't stand him. His last name isn't Teng, and he doesn't deserve to live in the Teng family. I get annoyed the moment I see him and want him to disappear forever. So I monitored his every move online, trying to find his weaknesses. I planned that love betting game, and my ultimate goal was to force him to commit suicide."
Teng Xuan sobbed a few times and emphasized again: "I didn't commit treason. I just wanted to destroy Zhuang Li. But I failed. Zhuang Li is very powerful. I am no match for him. This is not a crime, right? Isn't he fine now?"
Having said that, Teng Xuan looked up at the agents, a look of hope appearing on his tearful face.
The lie detector didn't go off, and what he said was true.
Several agents looked at each other in amazement.
Just because of inexplicable rejection and jealousy, this child actually devised such a vicious plan!
If Zhuang Li had not been provoked into exploding by him, but had silently endured it as before, and then fell into the trap set by Huang Zhe and others, wouldn't China have lost one of its most precious scientists?
By this calculation, Teng Xuan actually committed a serious crime!
Several agents exchanged glances, then filed out of the interrogation room to report to their superiors.
After these people left, Teng Wei began to breathe heavily and his face turned ashen.
Finally calming down from his rage, he stared deeply at his son and whispered in disbelief, "I didn't expect you to become like this. I've said before, you're my only son, the Teng family belongs to you, no one can take it away. I've been sterilized and won't have children with your Aunt Zhuang. What are you worried about? Why did you go and destroy Zhuang Li? Did he provoke you?"
Teng Xuan lowered his head and burst into tears as his father questioned him, unable to answer a single word.
He didn't understand why he had to destroy Zhuang Li. His eyes told him that this man must be eliminated.
"We've registered with the national government, but our Teng family won't get better this time!" Teng Wei looked up at the ceiling, sighing helplessly.
Who exactly is Zhuang Li? Why does the country attach so much importance to his affairs? This question always lingers in Teng Wei's mind, but he dares not ask it out loud.
There are some things that people at his level cannot understand.
But he realized more clearly that Zhuang Li was no longer a poor little man living under someone else's roof, but an important figure protected by the country. His status had long surpassed that of the Teng family.
"Hehe~Zhuang Xin will regret it." Teng Wei sighed with a bitter smile.
Teng Xuan hugged his head and fell into even greater regret.
That same evening, Teng Xuan, Huang Zhe, and Fang Yibo, along with the six athletes, were quickly transferred to a juvenile detention center for a year of reeducation through labor. Their parents were released and have remained silent about the incident ever since.
Xiu Yue, who also participated in this game, committed the least crimes and always stayed out of the situation, so he was not caught.
However, that morning, Xiu Zhaotian received calls from several bigwigs, warning him to discipline his children well and not wait until something bad happens in the future.
