Chapter 250

High-tech for the frontier

Nie Gong wanted to discuss with Wei Min why not go through Su Xiangdong and find the person behind Su Xiangdong when all the clues were almost destroyed.

But when he turned around, Nie Weimin was gone again.

Liu Xiaohong was lying on the kang, reading a book. She was about to start a new project in July. Her English was weaker than Nie Weimin's. Once she really started the project, the workload was so huge, and almost all the materials were in foreign languages. She had to catch up with English.

Suddenly, Nie Weimin opened the window.

"Where are my pants? Give them back to me." said Liu Xiaohong.

Nie Weimin, this naughty boy, was being intimate with Liu Xiaohong when Dandan came back. He had to go see Dandan, but he didn't want Liu Xiaohong to get up, so he hid Liu Xiaohong's pants when he left.

He was holding two large boxes of almond chocolates. "These are for you by Dandan. Just lie down and eat them first. Wait for me."

"Give me my pants."

"I'll be there right away, really." Nie Weimin said, and ran away again.

Liu Xiaohong didn't bring many clothes when she came, and Nie Weimin was so stupid that he didn't even think to take her to buy two pieces of clothes. He hid Liu Xiaohong's pants. She only had two very old ones in her closet, which were not easy to wear out.

That’s good. My brother is back, but my sister-in-law is hiding in the house and doesn’t go out.

The worker looked at his son who had quietly entered the room and was about to glare at him, but Chen Lina said, "Understand, have you never been young?"

"The person behind Su Xiangdong must be particularly familiar with Hongyan, Bianjiang and Shanghai, because most of the recent threatening phone calls to Donghai came from these three places," said Nie Gong.

Nie Weimin said, "You can check Su Xiangdong's phone records, personal and company calls, and his pager, and find the person he has been contacting frequently. It's very simple."

"The telecommunications company deleted all of his call records," said Nie Gong.

Dandan thought for a moment and said, "Now the Post Office has a computer-controlled switching room. Even if someone deliberately deletes it, they can only delete the surface records. The original data on the computer in the computer-controlled switching room cannot be erased."

Nie Gong immediately said, "Then you and your two brothers should go to the mining area to find Yu Donghai early tomorrow morning. He has the right to take you anywhere."

Nie Weimin was standing on the door with his hands covered in dust. As soon as Nie Gong finished speaking, he ran away again.

"You don't really only have one pair of pants, do you?" Nie Weimin was surprised.

Liu Xiaohong said, "Didn't you see my bag when I came to your house?" As long as Chen Lili brought her clothes home, she would definitely alter them and give them to the two children.

Anyway, in Chen Lili's opinion, since Liu Xiaohong has a job, she must have money.

"Why not get two pairs from my mother's clothing factory?" Nie Weimin said as he crawled into the quilt.

Kiss once, kiss again, oh, no wonder Wang Fan wanted to find an elephant when he was a little kid, it’s so good to have a wife.

Liu Xiaohong said, "My aunt told me to take it, but I felt embarrassed."

"She is your mother and also my mother. Feel free to take her things from now on. If you keep being so polite, she will be sad. She will think that you are being polite to her because she is not good enough to you." Nie Weimin said.

As for Liu Xiaohong, she has always been a girl with strong self-esteem and independence. She knows clearly what gratitude is and what love is. Of course, if it weren't for her character, a child whose parents are both dead would not have gotten to where she is today.

"Okay, I'll get it tomorrow," she said.

Nie Weimin campaigned for a while, then suddenly said, "No, let's change it to once every half a month. I think once a month goes against the natural laws of human beings."

"It's up to you. It's up to you."

Liu Xiaohong almost died of laughter. This awkwardness was not entirely his fault. What did it matter if it happened once every few days? Anyway, for her, he was married and had a family, so she didn't care about anything.

As for Nie Weimin, in her eyes, he is still the same as he was when he hit her on the head with a stick and drove her away from the yard when she was five or six years old. He has not changed at all.

The next morning, at the gate of the mining area public security bureau.

When Nie Weimin and Dandan arrived, they saw Su Xiangdong, with a head full of white hair, coming out. Zhao Yalu and a group of old employees of the automobile factory were there to greet him.

Yu Donghai was standing by the window of his office.

Leng Qi was talking to Gao Feng on the phone, "Gao Feng, if anything happens to the person you asked me to release, I will go to Beijing and shoot you."

"Su Xiangdong has to attend the Shanghai Trade Fair. Several foreign car manufacturers are waiting to talk to him. Leng Qi, are you flexible? Is the economy more important now, or is it more important to gather a few students to cause some trouble?"

"I only know that I've let the man go, but if he causes any trouble, I'll watch you slap yourself in the face, a hundred times." Leng Qi hung up the phone with a snap.

He turned around and saw the two brothers Wei Min and Wei Jiang standing behind him. They slammed the table and said, "Investigate, investigate Su Xiangdong thoroughly. As long as we find evidence, we will continue to arrest them. They are all bastards who only care about money."

"So, now we need evidence, right?" Nie Weimin turned around and patted Wei Jiang. "Get to work. Are you sure you can analyze the evidence once it's on your computer?"

Dandan said, "Brother, your skill of touching telephone wires is outdated now. Watch me."

As soon as they came out of the Public Security Bureau, Leng Qi and Yu Donghai were stunned because there was a luxury car parked outside. Yu Donghai had only seen Su Xiangdong drive past in the mining area.

Comparing with his hand, Leng Qi said, "This logo should be about the size of a bowl."

Nie Weijiang threw the key to Weimin. "Deng Chun said that Chinese people like big things, so the car logo should be as big as a bowl so that people can see it."

All Deng Chun needed to do was to give Nie Weijiang’s luxury Mercedes-Benz a gold logo.

Of course, Nie Weijiang could afford to plate one with pure gold, but he himself couldn't drive a car yet. He was only responsible for making money, while food, clothing, housing and transportation were all things that Deng Chun had to worry about.

Leng Qi looked at it for a while and said, "Weijiang, is this car yours?"

"Oh my, Uncle Leng, what's the matter?" asked Dandan.

Leng Qi looked around for a long time, then broke off the vertical logo on the Defence vehicle, waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, Uncle Leng. You own a luxury car now, too. Hahaha."

He put the sign on his head and left.

Wei Min and Dan Dan were stunned. They thought Secretary Leng was really going crazy and was going back to the district government with the Mercedes-Benz logo on his head. But he walked a few steps and came back, inserting the logo back. "Long live international communism. Your capitalist sugar-coated bullets can't corrupt me. Goodbye."

"By the way, we have to investigate Su Xiangdong, but we can't let that kid Deng Chun know about it. He is Su Xiangdong's adopted son, and they have a very good relationship. I always hear Su Xiangdong talk about how his adopted son is doing in the United States." Yu Donghai said this after watching Leng Qi walk away in a swagger.

Nie Weimin said, "We brothers will definitely keep it a secret from him when we do things."

Nie Weijiang only needed to throw the car keys to Deng Chun, and he would drive away in his Mercedes-Benz without caring what brother Nie Weimin was doing.

As soon as Su Xiangdong came out, the first person he looked for was Deng Chun.

Deng Chun in bell-bottom pants and flowered shirt, well, this kid has actually been unreliable since he was young. If it weren't for the very reliable and deep Nie Weijiang who has always restrained him, who knows what he would have become today.

"Godfather is going to Beijing soon. Don't you have anything to say to him?" Su Xiangdong asked Deng Chun.

Deng Chun was busy with his money-making plan. "Father, Wei Jiang and I are planning to start a gaming business in the mining area. I tell you, this is a big industry worldwide. We will become super-rich people in the future. You know, the kind of super-rich people who have so much money that they can't spend it all."

"Father is leaving. Do you want him to leave some money for you?" Su Xiangdong said again.

"No, no, if you're talking about money, I have plenty of it, really." Deng Chun was bragging, but the fact was that he himself had no money, and all the money belonged to Nie Weijiang.

When he realizes the meaning of Su Xiangdong's words and how much wealth he will lose because of his pretentiousness, he will slap his mouth so hard that it swells.

"Dad, I've always cooperated with several leaders above me to promote democracy and deepen reforms. Your father knows this, but he is a busy man and has never participated." Su Xiangdong said to Deng Chun, this silly boy who was only thinking about making money. After all, he watched him grow up when he was a child, so it was inevitable that his true feelings would be revealed.

After a pause, he continued, "But Nie Weiguo told me something two days ago. He said that many of the international communists I admire may have violated our beliefs. I love my country, and I may be a patriotic thief, but I will never sell out our motherland. Deng Chun, do you understand?"

"I understand. How could I not understand? You are the one who truly fights for the liberation of all mankind. I understand this better than anyone else." In fact, in Deng Chun's heart, liberating all mankind means nothing. Making money is the first priority, okay?

Su Xiangdong saw Deng Chun throw him at the airport and was about to leave in a hurry, but he caught him again, "What about you? What are you going to do? Can't you have a meal with your godfather?"

"Help Nie Weiguo hold a concert. We are going to start from Uru and sweep across the country." Deng Chun said, quietly giving Su Xiangdong a stack of "Playboy". "This is my gift to you. Read it alone at night. Dejiner. But, godfather, you are also single, don't mess around. You know, Nie Weijiang's godfather got into trouble because of messing around with women. He got a very disgusting disease and is almost dead."

Su Xiangdong pulled Deng Chun over and hugged him tightly. "Are you sure you don't want my money?"

"No, I have plenty of money," said Deng Chun.

Su Xiangdong patted him on the shoulder, got out of the car and left.

Nie Weimin and Dandan went to the computer room of the Post Office to check and basically retrieved all the call records belonging to Su Xiangdong.

Although Nie Weimin knows how to use a computer, he is not as good as Xiao Dandan.

He still used the old method and prepared to print out all the massive call records to find patterns.

It turned out that Ren Xiaodan had plenty of ideas. He imported the data into his computer using a floppy disk and returned to the Public Security Bureau. In no more than two hours, he had listed all of Su Xiangdong's call data from the time the telephone line was connected to the present, including how many calls he had made to a certain phone number.

Big data statistics are clear and easy to understand. Isn’t the purpose of computers to save time?

"This is from Hongyan, this is from Shanghai, this one is from the autonomous region, and these are from Daqing and Beijing. Brother, now you find the pattern." Nie Weijiang said, turning his small computer screen for Nie Weimin to see.

Even though it has been summarized, the number of calls Su Xiangdong made is astonishing.

His peak phone usage time is always between 11pm and 1am, when most people are asleep.

He makes phone calls at this time every day. No wonder his hair turns white so quickly and he ages so fast.

Staying up late will make your hair gray.

Wei Min first scanned the area roughly and said, "Uncle Yu, help me check Yu Bu to see when he was released from prison and where he was the last time the police knew of his whereabouts."

Yu Donghai went to make a phone call.

Then, Nie Weimin looked at Hongyan's phone records.

Nie Weimin opened the yellow leaf of the Hongyan provincial capital public telephone given by Yu Donghai, and looked at it for a long time. Suddenly he shouted, "Uncle Yu, there is no need to call and ask. It must be You Bu. He is in Hongyan now and uses this public telephone the most." Nie Weimin pointed to a phone number with the last digit 447 on the screen.

"Why did you determine that the person on the other side was Youbu just based on a phone call?" Yu Donghai put down the phone and asked.

Nie Weimin said, "4 and 7 are Yubu's lucky numbers. Uncle Yu, I know everything about Yubu, but he doesn't even know that there is an enemy like me in this world."

This alone was enough to make Yu Donghai happy.

Because Youbu has six or seven brothers, and that gang alone is a very large evil gang.

As long as Youbu and Su Xiangdong are clean, it proves that Su Xiangdong is still Youbu's boss behind the scenes. This is enough to dig up evidence of Su Xiangdong's crimes.

"Brother, why are you staring at this phone?" Nie Weijiang said when he saw Nie Weimin staring at a phone number in a daze.

Nie Weimin looked for a long time and saw Yu Donghai also looking at him. He shook his head and said, "Nothing."

Then he called Chen Lina.

"Wei Min, could you please stop disturbing us. Yes, we are distributing promotional leaflets for Nie Weiguo. It's really a pity that no one has come to the fore now. Among the young people in Uru, no one knows who the Western Wolf is. Just think about how crowded the streets were when he held concerts." Chen Lina said breathlessly on the phone.

Nie Weimin said, "Mom, what's Aunt Liu's phone number at Hongyan Woolen Textile Factory? Do you remember it?"

Chen Lina had been doing business with Secretary Liu of the wool textile factory, so she subconsciously gave a number. Nie Weimin shook his head and said it was wrong, and asked Chen Lina to remember it again. Chen Lina then gave another number, and Nie Weimin quickly flipped through it and said it was wrong.

Chen Lina simply took out her pager and kept flipping through it. She said, "This one, the last three digits are 8. Secretary Liu also called me with this number. This should be the landline in her bedroom. Is this the one you want?"

Nie Weimin paused for a moment and said, "Yes, this phone also called Su Xiangdong, and called several people."

Suddenly, a whistle sounded over the phone. "Beauty, we're leaving now. We're going to the next place to post flyers. Hurry up and get in the car."

It was the slick Deng Chun, calling Chen Lina.

Chen Lina waved her hand and said, "You go first, I'll be there in a bit, let's go."

She took a deep breath and asked Nie Weimin, "You don't think that Sister Liu's husband is the one behind Su Xiangdong, do you?"

After all, in Chen Lina's view, Hongyan in her previous life was a place that couldn't be any darker.

"Mom, we still need to investigate this matter further. I'll call you to confirm something. You guys just have fun." Nie Weimin said.

After a pause, he said, "Mom, can you ask Liu Xiaohong to answer the phone?"

Just then, Liu Xiaohong was still posting flyers, and Chen Lina called her over to answer Nie Weimin's call.

"My mother's voice is a little hoarse. Please make her some honeysuckle tea. I can hear the heat in her voice. Thank you for your hard work." Nie Weimin took the phone and said to Liu Xiaohong.

Liu Xiaohong responded and hung up the phone.

Nie Weimin was actually the one who was the closest to Chen Lina, but he was also the one who cared about her health the most. Hearing Chen Lina getting anxious and angry, he told her about the matter.

Liu Xiaohong thought to herself that Wei Min was the eldest brother after all, and was different from the younger two.

Nie Weimin turned around and patted Dandan's head. "Okay, let's analyze other calls."

As he spoke, he looked up the phone number in Shanghai and checked in the Yellow Pages to see if it was a public phone or a private one.

If it is a landline, list it on a form and let Yu Donghai take it to the telecommunications bureau to check the specific address and name of the person.

Then there are those from the autonomous regions and Beijing.

When he found one of the phone numbers, Nie Weimin's hands trembled, because he was very familiar with this phone number.

"Brother, how does it feel to be married? Sister Xiaohong has always been hardworking, and now she is even more hardworking." Nie Weijiang was helping his brother memorize the analyzed phone numbers, and suddenly said with a smile.

Nie Weimin rubbed Dandan's head again and said, "Don't make fun of your sister-in-law."

"I haven't said anything yet, and you're already covering up for me."

"This is the phone number of Hong Jinbu's home." Nie Weimin called Yu Donghai out alone and handed him two phone numbers. "There is also this phone number. The owner's surname is Jin. I went to his home once. At that time, I remembered their home extension landline number. The last digit is 3 8s. This is it. These two people may just be the tip of the iceberg. Uncle Yu, do you dare to check?"

Yu Donghai looked at the name, then looked up at Nie Weimin, and finally understood why Su Xiangdong was so rampant.

There are people who can help him delete call records and have been in secret contact with him over the years. Even if only two people have been found so far, it is only the tip of the iceberg. But Yu Donghai, a small mining area police chief, cannot be shaken.

"Even if I'm just an ant, but I have the national emblem on my head, so I must be responsible for this matter to the end." Yu Donghai smiled and said nonchalantly.

It's just a few threatening calls. Just change your phone number.

Just at this time, Nie Gong called, and Nie Weimin briefly reported the situation.

Nie Gong also said, "Investigate. Even if it gets exposed, don't be afraid. I will cover it for you."

He had to go on a business trip to Hami today, so he hung up the phone and left.

But Nie Weimin still felt it was inappropriate. "How about this, Uncle Yu, why don't you send Aunt Du and the child to Tibet first? Isn't Uncle Yu there? After we finish investigating the case, we can call Aunt Du back."

Yu Donghai's elder brother, Yu Lianhai, is currently in Linzhi, serving in the border defense preparation battalion.

"Linzhi is a good place. It's perfect. Let's take a trip there with our mother," said Yu Donghai.

When he personally went into the telecommunications office, checked the call records, and copied data from the computer room, he exposed himself to danger. Sending his wife and children away at this time was of course the best option.

That night, Wei Min and Dandan drove Dandan's luxury car and didn't return home until two in the morning. I thought they were the last ones to return home.

Unexpectedly, the house was brightly lit and Erdan, Deng Chun and others had just returned.

In the kitchen, Erdan was cooking, Liu Xiaohong was downstairs, and Deng Chun was so hungry that he was running around the house. Finally, he picked up a few radishes the size of his little finger from the backyard and started eating them.

Chen Lina was lying on the kang. Her feet were covered with blisters after walking all day. Unfortunately, her worker was away on a business trip again, so there was no one to massage her feet.

Suddenly her leg felt itchy. Chen Lina opened her eyes and saw Nie Weijiang tapping her legs with a hammer.

"Dandan, how much money do you have now? Can you lend me some? I'm so poor." Chen Lina teased the child.

"How much do you want?" Nie Weijiang said, and it was time to call Deng Chun, "Deng Chun, bring me my bag."

Deng Chun came in chewing a radish as thin as a finger. "What are you doing?"

"Give all my savings books, cash and foreign exchange to my mother. She is short of money," said Nie Weijiang.

Deng Chun was unwilling to do so. "You are crazy. It's hundreds of thousands of dollars. Give it all to Auntie Chen."

"The money I earn is my mother's." Seeing Chen Lina was stunned, Nie Weijiang said quickly, "Don't worry, Mom. The customs and the consulate can prove that all my income is legal. However, I used to pay taxes to Americans, but from now on, I will pay taxes to our Republic. I didn't dare to take it out at first because I was afraid that you would say that I must have broken the law and you would be angry. That's why I didn't dare to take it out."

Chen Lina looked at Nie Weijiang and rubbed his head for a long time. "If I had known you could make so much money, why would I have worked so hard? But, Dandan, money must be earned legally so that you can spend it for the rest of your life. Do you understand?"

"I know, Mom, I really do, and I'm not just saying it."

After a pause, Nie Weijiang continued, "My godfather has an incurable disease called AIDS, the horrible disease you once talked about. He said he got the disease because he had too much money."

"No wonder you're always so depressed." Chen Lina said, "No one is perfect, and if a man never gets married and has no constraints, the chances of him getting that disease are even higher. Dandan, you brothers have to protect yourselves, understand?"

Nie Weijiang said nothing, but nodded deeply.

She pretended to take all his money. After a while, Chen Lina observed carefully and found that the child did not react at all.

"Okay, take all your money back, Nie Weijiang. I guess you didn't cry in your heart because mom took your money?" Chen Lina said deliberately.

Nie Weijiang just smiled and said nothing.

"How about I use your money to subsidize your second brother so that he can hold a big concert?" Chen Lina said again.

Nie Weijiang still smiled and said, "It's not good for you to do it on your own. If it's not enough, I'll call my godfather and ask him to transfer the rest of my money to me."

Chen Lina returned all his notes, cash, etc. and said, "You are brothers, and we are your parents. The money you earn is yours. If you get poor, remember to rely on yourself and don't rely too much on your brothers. Mom will not use your money to support your second brother.

Otherwise it will be obvious that mom is partial to you, and it will make you brothers unhappy. Take it now, what's yours should be yours, really, mom doesn't want it."

Nie Weijiang has been gentle since he was a child, gentle and delicate. Of course, he is also the one who loves money the least among the three brothers.

But with the projects he is doing now, he may become the richest of the three brothers in the future.

It is a blessing for the whole society if a rich person does not love money or cares too much about money.
