8. Scientist Dad 8
Officer Wang said sternly, "Mr. Cheng, we have a serious question for you. This wristband isn't available on the market, and it has unique functions. Although it's your personal belonging, items involved in a case must be explained." A colleague at the station, while checking the wristband, accidentally bumped into something, causing it to immediately trigger an alarm, sending a message directly to the police station's computer. The officer who received the alarm checked the address sent by the alarm and almost suspected the computer was infected, as the alarm was located at the police station. Unfortunately, the wristband suddenly stopped responding, and it was unclear whether it was due to a battery failure.
Cheng Ye said with a serious face: "Comrade police officer, I am telling the truth. The bracelet is indeed a personal terminal that will be released soon. I am just a trial user. There must be many trial users like me. You can check casually or wait for the personal terminal to be officially released." Cheng Ye was not lying. There were indeed many trial users of the personal terminal, but most of them were high-ranking officials or relatives of a researcher like him.
Seeing him so confident, Officer Wang was silent for a moment and said, "Then how did you get the trial qualification for the bracelet?" It can't be distributed randomly, right?
Cheng Ye: "...My father is a researcher at the National Robotics Research Center and is also the general manager of this personal terminal research and development project." Once the personal terminal is released, my father's information will definitely be exposed. He doesn't mind telling the police. Of course, he believes that the police station will not disclose it casually.
As for Gu Ge and Li Feng, he couldn't hide it even more. His highly intelligent robots had already revealed a lot about his relative being a tech tycoon. Furthermore, they knew his father's name. Combined with the fact that his father's name appeared on the list of R&D personnel released after the personal terminal was released, they were sure to guess it.
Cheng Ye ignored the reactions of the few people and continued: "The personal terminal was sent to me by my father some time ago. He said that once the trial is passed, the personal terminal will be released."
"So, robots like Xiaoyi, Xiaoba, and Cheng Guanjia were all developed by your father?" Li Feng exclaimed in a state of wonder. He had previously muttered that anyone who developed high-tech robots like Xiaoyi and Cheng Guanjia must be a big shot, right? Unexpectedly, this big shot turned out to be Cheng Ye's father!
Cheng Ye nodded: "That's right."
Finally, I don’t know whether the two police comrades believed it or not. After the record was completed, Wang
The officer told Cheng Ye that the bracelet would be returned to him later and then left.
After Gu Lele and other policemen closed the door of the ward, they sat beside the bed and asked, "Cheng Ye, what's going on? Your father is from the National Robotics Research Institute? All those robots of yours were developed by your father?"
Cheng Ye nodded again in agreement: "Brother, didn't you hear it just now?... I had to hide it from you before."
Gu Lele uttered an "oh" and felt he needed to slow down. After a while, he continued, "Is it okay for you to tell me now? Will it affect you?" Is this considered a leak? Will he be targeted?
Cheng Ye: "No, the personal terminal will be tested soon, and as soon as it is released, my father's identity will be exposed."
Li Feng was a little worried and asked, "Can you still be an artist in the future? Will it be like what is shown on TV, where the families of national dignitaries have to keep a low profile and can't show their faces casually?" The plots of researchers' families being kidnapped and shot are often played out on TV, and it's exciting just to think about it.
What? Cheng Ye smiled. "You're overthinking it." Even if someone had ulterior motives, they could only kidnap his father or threaten him. But once Skynet and the personal terminal were released, kidnapping him? Maybe in the next life.
For example, when human traffickers kidnap children, they will definitely destroy the children’s personal terminals in order to avoid being discovered. However, once the children lose their terminals, it will be impossible for the traffickers to take them away, because under the Skynet, those without terminals cannot take a single step.
Li Feng: "What do you mean?"
Cheng Ye: "It means that I won't let you lose your job."
After hearing this, Li Feng smiled embarrassedly and touched his neck.
Gu Lele looked at his silly look, smiled and shook her head.
After a while, Cheng Ye seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Brother Gu, has this incident had a big impact online?"
Gu Lele's smile disappeared instantly, and he said in a very unpleasant tone: "What do you think? Such a big bank robbery would have blown up the internet a long time ago, not to mention that the robbers were caught so quickly. It was big news, a hot search... You, the hostage, also became famous, but don't worry, Xiaoyi has been controlling public opinion." Cheng Ye, as a hostage, was also a public figure. Just the private message was enough to give Gu Lele a headache. And those former colleagues of Cheng Ye who took the opportunity to take advantage of the traffic were not easy to deal with.
Oh no! Cheng Ye stretched out his hand and pinched his brow. Xiaoyi knew about it, and his father must have known about it too. Xiaoyi would definitely report such a big thing to his father.
"Brother Gu, where's my phone? Give it to me."
Gu Lele took out
Cheng Ye handed him the cell phone.
Cheng Ye looked at the caller ID on his phone, gritted his teeth, and said, "There are more than a dozen calls." He hesitated for a second, but still dialed back.
After a while, the call still didn't go through. Cheng Ye blinked at the phone. Huh? Is Dad angry?
Just as he was about to call again, the door to the ward opened and a middle-aged doctor in a white coat walked in. He held a medical record and said, "Mr. Cheng Ye, right?"
The three of them looked at each other, and Cheng Ye said: "Yes, it is me."
Gu Lele: "Doctor, is there something wrong with Cheng Ye's health?" It's no wonder he thought so. The way the doctor flipped through the medical records was quite intimidating.
The doctor smiled and said, "That's not the case. Mr. Cheng Ye should be fine."
Gu Lele: "That's good. So, what's this, doctor?"
Doctor: "Oh, it's a routine check-up. Mr. Cheng Ye came in in a coma, so just in case, he needs another check-up before being discharged from the hospital."
It made sense, so Cheng Ye followed the doctor without asking any more questions. However, this situation didn't seem right. Cheng Ye had a guess in his mind as he watched the situation along the way. When Cheng Ye walked into a room, he saw Cheng Jiu inside. He looked at Cheng Jiu's expressionless face and felt embarrassed.
He slowly walked over and sat down, feigning a cough before saying, "Dad, are you done with your work? You're not in seclusion anymore?" Back when his father had cut off contact with the outside world, immersed himself in research, dedicating his life to the pursuit of his passion, he'd worried that when he saw him again, he'd look like the researchers on TV, disheveled and unshaven. But at least he hadn't expected him to look as neat and handsome as he does now.
Cheng Jiu clenched his fist and hit Cheng Ye on the head with a critical hit. What a troublesome kid.
"Ah! Dad, why did you hit me?! Huhu..." Cheng Ye held his head and grimaced. Is this his real father? He hit me so hard.
Cheng Jiu looked at his son's outspoken expression and laughed angrily: "What's wrong with me hitting you? Look at your lack of ability. Weren't you quite capable when you ran towards the robbers?"
Cheng Ye: "Isn't it just a coincidence that I encountered this?" It's not like he was happy to encounter a bank robbery or be a hostage. Who knew that the robbers would just happen to rob that bank? He felt wronged.
Cheng Jiu snorted and said, "Why didn't I get there by chance?"
If you want to get there by chance, you need someone's consent. Look at the bodyguards at the door. Would they agree to let you go out alone?
Cheng Jiu: "What are you mumbling about?"
Cheng Ye: “No”
I haven't seen my son for almost two years.
His son had grown considerably, taller, his baby fat had faded, and his face hadn't lost much of its childishness. He didn't seem to have suffered much injustice, which was a good thing for him to ask for. Thinking of the stunned expression on his superiors' faces when he asked them to ensure his son's career wasn't inexplicably wronged, rather than just giving him a leg up and pushing him to the top, Cheng Ye smiled.
He can give his son whatever he wants, except personal experience. He just needs to clear the obstacles for his son.
Seeing Cheng Jiu smile, Cheng Ye was no longer panicked and said, "Dad, what's going on with those two at the door?" The two standing at the door were bodyguards, right? The upright posture of the pine tree and the small poplar tree showed that they were not soldiers. Cheng Ye twisted his head off and let his father kick it.
Cheng Ye lowered his body, leaned against the back of the sofa, and said, "I was sent by the higher-ups." If he were to say it, there was no need at all. Who would assassinate an ordinary citizen like him in broad daylight? Mobilizing such a large force would only arouse suspicion, right?
"My main work has come to an end, and now I have a few days of vacation." This was the result of his hard work. As expected, once he joined the institute, freedom was a thing of the past.
Only a few days of vacation? Although he was unhappy, Cheng Ye didn't say anything and just nodded.
Cheng Ye looked at his father leaning lazily on the sofa and approached him with a smile: "Dad"
Cheng Jiu glanced at the little dog leg: "What are you doing?"
Cheng Ye: "Um, when will the personal terminal be officially released?"
Cheng Jiu: "It should be soon. The manufacturing plant is working overtime to rush the production."
Cheng Ye's eyes lit up: "In other words, you have nothing to do from now on?"
Hmm? What does this guy want?
Cheng Ye raised his eyebrows at his son and asked, "What do you want? Or... do you have a girlfriend?" His son was indeed grown up, and it was normal for him to have a girlfriend.
Cheng Ye: ...it happened very suddenly.
"No, I don't have a girlfriend!" He rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "I knew you must have forgotten. You promised me before that you would make me a robot car." Thinking of this, Cheng Ye felt very aggrieved.
Well, facing his son's accusation, Cheng Jiu was embarrassed and said, "Isn't it because I just encountered a scientific research project on a personal terminal? The robot car will definitely be postponed. But don't worry, I will be free next time, and this matter will be put on the agenda immediately, okay."
Cheng Ye was immediately happy and said excitedly: "I want to design the appearance of the car myself!" Cool robot car here I come!
Cheng Jiu was very saddened by his son's excitement. He thought of the robot Starling that his son had designed before, its indescribable appearance, its bizarre colors, and its naive design! To be honest, he was very disappointed with his own son's design talent and aesthetic taste.
Cheng Ye, who was immersed in his own fantasy, was unaware of his father's disdain and complaints about him.
