He Qianjian’s hands were pulled behind his back, his face was pale, but his eyes were red, both frightened and angry.

Old Mr. He stared fixedly at He Qianjian, with deep crevices at the end of his eyes, his majestic anger unable to be concealed in his old voice: “Is that recording just now real?”

“No!” He Qianjian quickly denied it, with a teary voice: “It’s all fake, synthetic, how could I harm Jiang Chen, someone must be trying to frame me, trying to provoke the relationship between me and the He family, Grandpa, you have to trust me…”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

“Who do you think would frame you?” Old Mr. He’s tone didn’t change a bit, he just kept looking at him, “He not only knows your background, he knows what happened between you and Qian Min back then, he also knows that Jiang Chen was in a car accident and kidnapping.”

Old Mr. He joined the army when he was young. He was a person who had actually been on the battlefield. He got to his current position step by step. Even of he had become old and retired, when he truly became stern and interrogated someone, the intimidation was not weakened even by half.

“I……”

He Qianjian was born as the eldest son and grandson of the He family, and later Yang Yun was accepted by old Mr. He because of his birth. From childhood to adulthood, even though the He family’s family education was strict, old Mr. He still loved and doted on him. Add to the fact that he deliberately set out to please, the relationship between grandpa and grandson had always been close.

Therefore, even if He Qianjian knew that the old man was very powerful, even if the old man was very serious most of the time, he was never afraid of him. Instead, he was even more afraid of his seemingly loving father, who was in fact very principled and had a clear bottom line, and when he punished his children He Yanfeng would not show mercy either.

It was the first time that He Qianjian’s mind went blank for a moment when faced with such a look that seemed to be so heavy and so substantial that he couldn’t help but bend his knees. It took him half a second to realize what old Mr. He said. He secretly bit his cheek, apart from him and the System, the only one who could know all this was Jiang Chen.

But was he going to say that Jiang Chen did all this to frame him?

He Qianjian thought about it.

But he also knew that once he said that, there would really be no way out today.

“I don’t know…” He Qianjian shook his head and said, “Grandpa, I don’t know why others want to frame me like this, but you have to believe me, these are all fake, I don’t know anything at all.”

“Tell me again seriously.” Old Mr. He looked at him and enunciated every word: “Have you done these things?”

He Qianjian’s heart skipped a beat, and he immediately replied, “No!”

Old Mr. He shook his head and looked away.

Company Commander Zhang pressed down on He Qianjian, and he screamed in pain, but he had no time to concentrate on what happened to his hands. Old Mr. He’s expression just now made him a little panicked.

Sure enough, the next moment, old Mr. He, who had turned around, said in a deep voice, “Send him to the police station, together with the evidence, and check everything in this recording.”

“Yes!” Company Commander Zhang raised his hand, signaling his subordinates to take He Qianjian away.

He Qianjian froze for a moment, a little disbelieving, and immediately struggled: “You want to send me to prison?”

Old Mr. He didn’t look back, he was already holding on to the handrail of the stairs, and went up the stairs step by step.

He Qianjian felt like he had fallen into an ice pit, he gritted his teeth, and turned to look at old Mrs. He: “Grandma, Grandma, you watched me grow up, you have to believe me…don’t send me to the police station, I’m still in school, how can I find work after being in jail, Grandma…” He Qianjian knew that the rest of the He family had already stood by Jiang Chen’s side, and only old Mrs. He, who was sympathetic and nostalgic, might help him.

Old Mrs. He did feel distressed, but thinking of the recording she just heard, she sighed softly: “If you haven’t done any of these things, the police will let you out after they find out the truth.”

He Qianjian stared at old Mrs. He with reddened eyes, he hadn’t expected her to say that.

Old Mrs. He couldn’t bear it, so she turned her head away.

He Qianjian was forced to go out. During this period, he kept turning his head and begging until he was escorted into the car. He still couldn’t believe it. Why did things turn out like this after just a trip back to the old house.

*

This time Changjiang faced System, the consumption of energy was huge, and the benefits reaped was also huge.

Although most of the files intercepted from the System could not be deciphered, just this tip of the iceberg allowed him to have a more comprehensive understanding of the System.

Just as he guessed before, the System definitely didn’t belong to this era, maybe it didn’t belong to this world. To be precise, it should be a galaxy that was beyond their technological level.

In the last life, human beings have left the Milky Way and migrated to another galaxy, and the other galaxy had a civilization with highly advanced technology. Although at that time Jiang Chen had not heard of a system that was connected to biological brain waves without implantation, similar things did exist.

In that era, it was not surprising that such a system appeared, but now that this System appeared in a world where the level of civilization clearly could not support the existence of the System, the purpose and method of its appearance now raise one’s attention.

Jiang Chen hadn’t closed his eyes for a few days in a row. He was re-debugging and fixing the bugs of Changjiang every day. Since the confrontation with the System, Jiang Chen had new inspirations again, and he had been working hard for it during this time.

The boss of the lab spent his days in the lab, so the rest couldn’t be lazy. Now in the final stage of the launch test, everyone was not as busy compared to a while ago, but the information captured this time had aroused the enthusiasm of these scientific researchers. They all accompanied Jiang Chen to work overtime, and several people even wanted to know the contents of those undecipherable folders more than Jiang Chen.

“It has been deciphered!”

At seven o’clock in the morning, most people in the laboratory looked exhausted, having stayed up all night again. Because this was not a formal laboratory, and Jiang Chen didn’t pay so much attention to such things, by four or five in the morning, most everyone would find a place to bunker down.

At this time, in the quiet laboratory, there were people sleeping on several camp beds, and there were also researchers who were still working with exhausted faces. The whole laboratory was very quiet. This sudden sound shocked the sleepy or still asleep few people back into the waking world. They all raised their heads, and rubbed their eyes.

Jiang Chen turned his head, moved his shoulders and neck, and asked in a hoarse voice after feeling more comfortable, “That file folder?”

“It has been sent to the general mailbox.” The researcher with red eyes but an excited expression walked quickly to Jiang Chen’s side, but paused when his eyes landed on the man next to him who was asleep with his chin propped up, though it was unknown whether he was truly asleep or pretending to be asleep. He turned his body sideways, pointed to the mailbox that Jiang Chen had already opened, and said, “Boss, look, these are all matched up.”

Jiang Chen rubbed his swollen eyes, fixed them on the name of the folder, and raised his eyebrows a little. This was the original folder called “Optimal Choice Record Form”.

Jiang Chen opened the two forms, and saw that most of the tables in the deciphered version had been changed to Arabic numerals.

“These symbols are all numbers.” The man said, “There are a few words that have been deciphered, but it’s a bit strange. This table is a bit like a grade sheet.”

Jiang Chen glanced speedily through it.

The man was right. The form was indeed very similar to a grade sheet, including the small part of deciphered words, which were all subject names.

But… Jiang Chen’s eyes fixed on a point, landing on some other symbols, and a guess floated in his heart.

He turned around and called C.

C just woke up. To be precise, he had been woken up and was still hugging the quilt in a daze. Hearing Jiang Chen calling him, he immediately lifted the quilt and walked over with a dazed expression: “Boss, you called.”

“Help me check something.”

C nodded, sat down on one side, and said, “Check what.”

“He Qianjian’s report card since primary school, as well as the names of all the students in his class, and the report cards of the top students.”

C paused with his hand on the keyboard, thinking he heard it wrong, and was just about to ask for confirmation, when he saw the man next to Jiang Chen had woken up. Obviously their conversation woke him up, but the man apparently vented his anger on only one, that cool and threatening gaze landing directly on him.

Swallowing the words on his tongue, C silently started working.

This kind of thing was simply a piece of cake for him. He Qianjian had been in Chenghua since kindergarten, and all his grades were naturally stored in Chenghua’s educational affairs system, and the rotation of students in private schools was not frequent. It was also easy to find. In less than three minutes, he had already got everything Jiang Chen wanted.

Only——

C’s eyes shifted slightly, and he glanced at the man with a smile discussing work with Jiang Chen in a raspy voice, but that expression didn’t look like Shi Fengyue was talking about work at all. And words on the tip of his tongue couldn’t be uttered once again.

Clearly Shi Fengyue didn’t do anything, but don’t know if the shadow of being kicked into a pit by him before was too deep. C was always afraid of him, especially when he and Jiang Chen got closer, the feeling of a cold scalp would make him feel especially apprehensive. It made him quickly recall the fear of being forced to stay in the arsenal system of other countries and almost being arrested as a spy and never seeing the sun of the motherland again.

Noticing C’s gaze, Jiang Chen turned his head: “What’s wrong?”

“The things you want have been sent to your email.”

C finished this sentence quickly, and then left just as quickly.

Jiang Chen saw his back which looked as if something was chasing after him, and shook his head with a sigh: “It’s been so long, and C is still so shy when talking to us.”

Shi Fengyue didn’t even blink. He pointed to the documents on the desktop with his slender finger and said, “Let’s continue.”

Jiang Chen withdrew his gaze, “Wait.”

He checked the email sent to him by C, and re-sent it to the researchers of the deciphering team: Compare this with the optimal choice form and then enter the names into the decipher system, see if you can find anything.

Jiang Chen did not keep it from Shi Fengyue when he sent the email. When Shi Fengyue saw it, he thought for a while and asked, “Do you want to use those names to speed up the translation?”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

“Correct.”

“The names of the people you highlighted have special meanings?”

“He Qianjian’s grades may come from these people, and the text behind the numbers are most likely the names of these people.”

Shi Fengyue understood immediately, and thought of what he had gained during this period of time, he said thoughtfully: “The optimal choice, the name is quite interesting actually.”

He Qianjian’s mind was buzzing, and for a moment he couldn’t tell whether it was the sequelae of the pain just now or the result of being too shocked and panicked.

The room was too quiet. It was so quiet that people standing close could hear each other’s breathing. It was so quiet that He Qianjian’s sudden rapid breathing and movements of raising his head were abrupt and eye-catching.

He Qianjian froze. At this time, he was extremely sensitive to the eyes of the people around him. There were more than a dozen people standing in the room, their eyes coming from all directions. Right in front of him were He Qianmin and He Yanya, one full of hatred and the other full of coldness, and two steps away, it was Yang Yun whose face was even colder and more resentful than theirs.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

No matter what, Yang Yun never imagined that He Qianjian and Jiang Chen’s swap was not someone else’s scheme or fault, but He Qianjian’s work alone. Before that, she already knew that He Qianjian was not the child she knew, and she became more and more disappointed with him as her husband found out one thing after another. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she was extremely disappointed, but even so, she never hated him, because she always thought that even if He Qianjian found out later, in the beginning, he was also one of the victims.

But now, the facts and evidence tell her that He Qianjian was the only mastermind of this matter, and he directed and acted all of this himself!

Thinking of the eighteen years of separation, thinking of the grievances He Qianmin had suffered, and thinking of the evidence her husband found that He Qianjian had hurt her two sons, Yang Yun felt that she had never hated someone so much in her life.

Yang Yun’s hateful gaze brought He Qianjian back to himself in an instant, and he immediately came to his senses. He quickly realized that now the He family already knew everything he did, and these recordings were obviously only known to him and the System. But now it appeared on He Yanya’s computer. Thinking of the alarm just now, his hairs stood on end. He didn’t need the System to remind him. He knew that what he had to do now was to escape immediately.

However, the entire room was surrounded by the He family and soldiers in civilian clothes, so he couldn’t escape at all.

He Qianjian subconsciously called the System in his mind, but no matter how much he shouted, there was no response, the System had lost contact again.

What to do? What to do!

He Qianjian’s mind was spinning at an unprecedented speed, trying to find a way out in this desperate situation.

[Don’t admit it, the voice in the audio is completely different from your current voice. Sau it is a synthetic voice. You must not let them know of my existence, or we will all be done for.]

The voice of the System suddenly sounded, and He Qianjian was startled, but immediately reacted.

That’s right, although the recording was real, the content inside it seemed like a fantasy to other people who didn’t even know the existence of the System. He could just say that the voice was synthesized, which was more believable.

“It’s synthetic!” He Qianjian said immediately. He turned his head and looked at old Mr. He, who had the calmest expression in the audience. Thinking of his usual maintenance of their relationship, he felt that he would be a breakthrough, so he adjusted his expression: “Grandpa, I never said those words at all, and I don’t know where this thing came from. Maybe someone else knew my life experience and deliberately synthesized this recording to sow discord. What’s more, the things said in this recording are too ridiculous, saying that I chose this, how could I have chosen anything when I was so young? And that voice is not my voice at all, you should be able to hear it!”

Old Mr. He did not speak, but Company Commander Zhang and the others somewhat believed it. After all, the voice of the person in this recording sounded very unfamiliar, and he also knew about He Qianjian and the real young master of the He family. He was also at the debut banquet. There were indeed many possibilities for how the two children were switched, but if he was asked to choose one, it would definitely not be done by a baby who was just a few days old.

It was not just Company Commander Zhang who thought this way. He Yanjun also thought this recording was too shocking. If it was true, then who was He Qianjian? Also, among the two people talking in these recordings, it was true that none of the voices were He Qianjian’s voice.

He Qianjian knew that whether he could succeed depended on whether the He family could trust him. He settled down, and the unprecedented sense of crisis made his mind clearer than ever. He looked at He Yanya: “Aunt, I don’t know where  you got these recordings, but I’m sure they are all fake. You watched me grow up, other things could be faked, but my voice can’t be faked. After listening to this recording, don’t you have any doubts? This is not my voice at all.”

He Yanya’s face was slightly cold: “I know the source of these recordings very well, and I am sure that they are all true. I brought them back to confront you. Apart from wanting everyone to know what you have done, I also want to confront you. To see clearly what unusual methods you have in your hands, that you can do these things beyond the scope of human capabilities.”

“You also said that these things are beyond the scope of human beings. How could I do it? Aunt, why don’t you believe me.” A cold light flashed in He Qianjian’s eyes, and after being deeply buried, he looked at He Yanya in a panic: “Although I am not the biological son of my parents, but you have watched me grow up for so many years, I always thought that even though… I am also a part of the He family. I have called you my aunt for more than ten years. Why don’t you believe me, and instead trust others?”

He slowly looked away, skipped He Qianmin, and turned to look at the others: “Mom and Dad, Grandpa and Grandma…” He called them one by one, his voice lowering a bit: “Don’t you believe me?”

He Qianjian’s eyes were hurt and angry, and with his pale face, he seemed really sad.

He Qianmin said coldly: “He Qianjian, I used to be puzzled as to why your acting skills are so good. Since you were young, you have been able to pretend so flawlessly. If it wasn’t for that car accident, I probably would have been kept in the dark by you. Turns out it’s because you’ve never been a baby, but you’ve had the mind of an adult since you were born.”

“What are you talking about?” He Qianjian’s face didn’t change, and even showed a trace of sadness at being wronged: “Qian Min, do you know how unbelievable what you said? Could it be that because of that car accident, you hate me so much that you will push something on me that you know is impossible?”

He Qianmin’s face turned cold, and he was about to say something when he was interrupted by old Mr. He.

“Enough.”

Old Mr. He asked He Yanya: “Where did you get these recordings? How authentic are they?”

“Absolutely authentic.” He Yanya coldly glanced at He Qianjian, who hadn’t shown much flaws until just now, feeling a chill in her heart. She pressed her fingers on the keyboard, and said, “There are still two recordings left, you can listen to them.”

Still those two voices:

——Should the optimal choice function be enabled? Please confirm.

——Make sure to enable it.

——The scanning range is 100 meters. After screening within the examination room, there are three people who meet the requirements. I will automatically screen the answers of these three people and send you the answer with the highest correct rate.

——Good.

——The first question: A, the second question: C, the third question: A, the first… multiple choice… fill in the blank…

This recording was a bit long, and everyone might be a little confused at the beginning, but after listening to it, no one did not know what it was talking about.

“Cheating?” He Qianyang raised his eyebrows: “This is a second year of junior high school exam, right.”

He Qianjian’s face changed slightly, but he adjusted quickly, and immediately put on a puzzled look.

He Qianmin frowned, as if thinking of something, and when the recording was about to end, he suddenly raised his head: “So that’s the case, I wondered why there was no trace of you doing the questions in your exercise book, why were you so good at taking exams, but sometimes you can’t even get the questions on Qian Yu’s test papers right, all your grades must be due to cheating!”

He Qianjian shook his head, as if he felt it was a little funny: “What kind of grades I have, the whole family has seen it since I was a child, Qian Min, it’s a bit funny for you to say that.”

He Qianmin was not irritated by him at all, instead, he seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly laughed: “No wonder, you did so poorly in the math competition and the college entrance examination, that’s why.”

Even after more than half a year, He Qianjian still hated talking about the college entrance examination.

His face darkened, and he said, “I didn’t pass the college entrance examination because I was not feeling well at the time. You insist on believing the synthesized recording, and you want everyone to believe it. You hate me so much, you can’t wait to let…”

Before He Qianjian could finish speaking, the next recording was already playing:

——Use this bouquet of flowers to exchange for something inconspicuous.

——During the scan, there were a total of three items within the range that agree with the conditions, paper scraps, staples, and pen cases. What does the host choose to exchange?

——Paper scraps.

——Do you confirm you want to exchange the paper scraps with the bouquet in your hand.

——Confirm.

——The exchange is successful.

…

——The monitoring here should have captured the scene where the flowers in my hand disappeared. According to the System rules, you must be responsible for cleaning up and ensuring that no one finds my abnormality and your existence. Now you can help me with Li De’s monitoring without violating the rules.

——Yes.

——If it weren’t for the inability to monitor the broadcast, I really want to see Jiang Chen being hit to death by that van. By the way, are you sure that person won’t rat me out?

——The gang responsible for kidnapping Jiang Chen last time wasn’t enough to reassure you?

——If those idiots had killed Jiang Chen at that time, there would be no such thing today. He is really like a cockroach. But I don’t believe he can get away this time.

——I still suggest that you don’t just focus on Jiang Chen. His life and death will not affect you at all. With me, you can have whatever you want.

——How is that the same, with him here, I’ll never be the legitimate eldest young master of the He family. Only when he’s dead can I feel at ease.

——It’s up to you.

…

“This is not true!”

He Qianjian didn’t expect that He Yanya would have such a recording. He looked green and pale, and tried his best to conceal it, but he couldn’t help revealing a few traces. He didn’t expect that He Yanya could find even the most secret conversations. Who gave these to her? Was the System accident today also because of the person behind it?

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

His mind was in a mess, and he wanted to defend himself again, but the expression of surprise and fear just now had already leaked out, and he had lost his conviction before he even opened his mouth. 

“Grab him!”

Old Mr. He gave a low shout, and Company Commander Zhang didn’t even command his subordinates, in just a couple of steps he had already held down He Qianjian.

In one afternoon, they analyzed four pieces of audio one after another. In addition to the first two pieces, the latter two pieces were also related to the He family, more precisely, they were all related to He Qianmin.

Hearing the last piece of audio, Jiang Chen’s eyes were already icy, and He Yanya was not much better. Her cold face was full of anger, and her arms propped on the table were trembling with anger.

“Send all these audio clips to me.”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

He Yanya stood up straight, took a deep breath, and her heaving chest calmed down a little. She didn’t look at Jiang Chen, her gaze looking off in the distance, and her voice was deep.

Jiang Chen raised his eyes, and saw the shame and sadness in her eyes clearly. He pursed his lower lip, thought for a while but didn’t make a sound to comfort her. He only moved his fingers, and sent the audio clips to He Yanya’s mailbox.

He Yanya watched Jiang Chen finish this, nodded slightly, turned and left the central control room. Halfway out, she suddenly turned around and said to Jiang Chen, “For the next two days, don’t go back to the old house.”

Jiang Chen was a little puzzled, and was about to speak, when He Yanya had already walked up to him, rubbed Jiang Chen’s head lightly and somewhat awkwardly. She said softly, “Don’t worry, we adults will take care of these things, you just do what you want to do.”

Before Jiang Chen could respond, He Yanya had already turned around and left the central control room.

“Boss.”

C connected the audios he had just heard together, his eyes stayed on the large screens where the codes were flying in front of him, and suddenly thought of the ID that Jiang Chen had worked with him to track before. He couldn’t help but walk to Jiang Chen’s side, wanting to confirm his guess.

“Boss?”

C called again, raised his hand and shook it in front of Jiang Chen. Seeing that he still didn’t respond, he was hesitating whether to nudge him, but Jiang Chen came back to his senses at this time.

“What’s up?”

C was not good at socializing, and he was also nervous about talking face to face. Although he was better now, he would never utter an extra word for things that could be finished in one brief sentence. He always cut to the point: “You asked me to track an ID before. I also intercepted a signal with Changjiang, was it this?”

Jiang Chen raised his hand and touched his head, the strange feeling gradually disappeared, and he raised his eyes to look at the big screen, “This was it.”

C’s eyes widened: “So that guy named He Qianjian is also a computer genius?”

“No.” C himself overturned what he said just now, and when he encountered something he was interested in, he talked more.”That operation is not very human-like, but more like a systematic operation… In his hand, is there a system that can compete with Changjiang?”

Jiang Chen was not surprised that C guessed this, and nodded directly.

C thought of something, and his eyes became brighter and brighter, “Can we snatch that system over and study it.”

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows with a smile: “How do you want to study it?”

But before C could respond, Jiang Chen felt that there was something on the back of his chair. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see a bony wrist. The owner of the hand was looking at the screen, and didn’t seem to have noticed. After Jiang Chen’s gaze stayed for two long seconds, only then did he turn his eyes to look, and raise his eyebrows: “Is there something wrong?”

The corners of Jiang Chen’s mouth slightly curled up, and he didn’t answer, but looked back at C.

But C had long since disappeared. Now in the laboratory, Shi Fengyue got along well with everyone, except for C. Putting aside the previous “grievances”, every time C saw Shi Fengyue, he looked like a mouse seeing the cat, and would hide as far away as possible. If it wasn’t because he was really too excited this time, he probably wouldn’t have dared to approach the cat at all.

“You scared him away.”

Shi Fengyue seemed puzzled: “Who?”

Jiang Chen sneered. He ignored the arm on the back of his chair, turned around and continued working.

*

Without any delay, He Yanya drove back to the old house directly after leaving the research institute.

It was dinner time at this time, but the dining room was empty, and instead everyone gathered in the sitting room that was rarely used on weekdays.

The atmosphere in the sitting room was gloomy, and no one noticed He Yanya’s appearance. Everyone’s eyes were focused on the young man kneeling on the ground covering his head in the center of the room. His expression was a bit ferocious, and it was conceivable that he should be in great pain at this time.

He Yanya paused, frowning. She patted the person closest to her, and said in a low voice, “What’s wrong with He Qianjian?”

He Qianyang was startled, turned around to see He Yanya, and asked in surprise, “Youngest Aunt, when did you come back?”

“Just now.” He Yanya didn’t look at him, but at He Qianjian, and asked again: “What’s going on with He Qianjian?”

“I don’t know.” He Qianyang’s tone was a bit strange, and before He Yanya could ask again, he lowered his voice and relayed the ins and outs: “When He Qianjian came back, the alarm went off at home, and the Company Commander Zhang who was guarding the house came in and arrested He Qianjian. We went downstairs when we heard the siren, and we saw that He Qianjian’s complexion was not very good. It was nothing big at the time, after hearing that the alarm was to prevent thieves, he justified himself. Grandpa also thought it might be a glitch with the alarm, and had Company Commander Zhang let him go, but Company Commander Zhang would not let him go.”

“He Qianjian began to struggle and was held down by Company Commander Zhang. Who knew that his complexion became more and more ugly after a while. Grandpa was worried that something was wrong with him, so he asked Company Commander Zhang to let him go. Who knew that right after He Qianjian attempted to run away. Suddenly everyone felt that something was wrong, and my dad told Company Commander Zhang to keep an eye on him, but He Qianjian said that he felt uncomfortable and wanted to go to the hospital, and even broke out in a cold sweat.”

“It just so happens that Uncle Xiang is here too, so he took a look for him, and he’s like this after.”

He Yanya turned her head: “What did Xiang Hong say?”

“Said he’s fine.” He Qianyang was also a little speechless: “Uncle Xiang said he can’t see anything wrong, and he has to go to the hospital to check with sophisticated equipment to be sure.”

He Yanya looked at He Qianjian again. But seeing his painful appearance, there was no emotion in her eyes.

He Qianyang understood what Xiang Hong implied, so how could she not understand.

He Qianjian had a physical examination every year. He never had any problems with his body, and he was usually very healthy. How could he suddenly have a headache like this, and it was not just an ordinary headache, but one that could only be detected with sophisticated instruments. One could imagine how true he was being.

The past was vivid in her mind, and the audio clips she heard in the afternoon rang in her ears. Her eyes flickered slightly, and then moved to He Qianmin.

Seeing him standing on the side with his mouth pursed, neither happiness nor compassion showing on his face, only indifference, she couldn’t tell what the feeling was in her heart. After so many years, one could imagine that he must have been so disappointed that he became numb over it all.

He Yanya was filled with guilt, both for He Qianmin and Jiang Chen.

She had never liked children very much. Even when Jiang Chen hadn’t appeared in the He family, she had always been indifferent to her nephews, with He Qianyu as an exception. So in the beginning, even if she knew that He Qianmin and He Qianjian were in a car accident, and she saw the tears on the face of her youngest nephew on the hospital bed, she didn’t pay much attention to this matter. Just like everyone else, she felt that He Qianmin’s story was too unbelievable, not to mention there was a doctor’s testimony of his mental state.

She stayed in the research institute most of the time and rarely saw them. After she knew about it, she forgot it soon after. Until a long time later, He Qianmin found her and asked her if there were any superhuman beings in the world. In terms of superhuman power and ability, would there be such research in scientific research institutes?

At that time, she only thought that He Qianmin had watched too many movies or novels and was asking on a whim, so she told him that there were no such things, and He Qianmin asked again, if such a strange thing happened to him, then how would that be explained?

He Yanya was taken aback for a moment and asked him what was the matter.

He Qianmin then told her about the car accident.

After He Yanya listened to it at the time, she just felt that he hadn’t come out of the shadow of the car accident. She didn’t think about the authenticity of his words, and she didn’t think about how he was not close to her, his aunt, at the time, so why would he find her just to say these words.

After comforting He Qianmin, she once again put the matter behind her and returned to the research institute.

When she saw He Qianmin again later, he had completely changed. He no longer had the cuteness and softness he had when he was a child. He had grown thorns and treated everyone with coldness and suspicion, especially He Qianjian. He didn’t like to go home and didn’t like to visit the old house, and even for the once-a-month dinner gatherings, he wouldn’t go if he didn’t have to.

Later, Jiang Chen appeared.

He Qianmin seemed to have turned back into the little boy he was when he was a child. He could laugh and act childish. He told them seriously that from the beginning to the end, he only recognized Jiang Chen as his older brother.

At that time, Jiang Chen’s life experience had already been made known to the He family, and He Qianjian’s identity suddenly became embarrassing, and the attitude of her younger brother and sister-in-law towards He Qianjian seemed to have become a little strange as well. She wasn’t aware of anything deeper but she felt that it was too contemptuous to get close to or alienate a person due to blood relationship.

What’s more, no matter how distant she was with him, in her heart, He Qianjian was still her nephew.

So she spoke for He Qianjian, and at the same time also wanted to see what kind of temper Jiang Chen had. Who knew that she only saw an indifferent and distant young man, who didn’t care what anyone in the He family thought. He only got along with everyone on the surface and kept up a light barrier in his heart.

At that time, she thought that Jiang Chen might not be very willing to accept the sudden change of identity, and he was already an adult, so it might be difficult for him to truly integrate into the He family in the future.

But later, she saw that Jiang Chen seemed to let his guard down a little bit, towards He Qianmin and He Qianyu, towards her younger brother and sister-in-law, towards He Qianyang and his parents, towards her mother…

Only towards her and her father, he was always indifferent.

Only then did she know that Jiang Chen was not naturally indifferent, he would also be moved by kindness and warmth, but he was also very penetrating, seeing everyone’s attitudes in his eyes and remembering them in his heart.

But she had never been fond of getting along with children. Even so, she had a clear conscience. Until today, until she knew that she didn’t deserve to have a clear conscience.

“Dad.”

He Yanya suddenly made a sound, breaking the silence in the room.

Old Mr. He turned his head, only to realize that He Yanya had returned. There was a cloud of gloom between his brows. Seeing that it was his daughter it still hadn’t dissipated much, the wrinkle on his face and the pair of eyes that were already a little cloudy revealed a coldness. He nodded: “You’re back.”

“I have something to show you.”

Old Mr. He waved his hand: “Later.”

“I have to show it now.” He Yanya walked to a table, opened the computer bag containing her laptop, and took it out.

He Qianyang had never seen He Yanya’s expression like this before, he was curious and thought it strange. But thinking about the strange things that happened today one after another, he leaned over to He Yanya’s side, watching her open her email, his eyes showing a little confusion the whole time.

Suddenly, a voice sounded:

——Now you have two choices, ordinary biological parents, or wealthy non-biological parents, please make a choice.

——Is there still a need for a choice? The wealthy pair, of course.

——The host has selected a choice for the first time, and successfully bound to DTW001.

Everyone in the hall was a little puzzled. No one could hear anything strange about the recording, including Company Commander Zhang who was staying here to carry out the mission. Only He Qianmin raised his eyes suddenly, as if thinking of something, his expression shifted.

He Yanya said nothing, and clicked on the next audio:

——Immediately change the places between He Qianmin and me! Quick!

——Does the host confirm the exchange of the location with that of He Qianmin.

——Yes, yes! The car is about to hit, hurry up!

——The exchange is successful.

——Bang!

At the end of this audio, except for Company Commander Zhang and the soldiers he brought, the faces of almost all the members of the He family changed, especially He Qianmin, who walked over in big steps at a time, took the computer and clicked on the audio to listen to it again.

He Yanya didn’t stop him, and let him play the second audio three more times on repeat.

No one in the room spoke. He Qianmin played it several times, and they listened to it several times. It was a young soldier under Company Commander Zhang who couldn’t resist whispering to his comrades: “What is it talking about? Why don’t I understand anything.”

The comrade-in-arms also replied in a low voice: “Stupid, didn’t you hear He Qianmin’s name, so it might be some kind of useful information.”

No matter how low the voices of the two were, they were still a bit abrupt in the room where even a needle drop could be heard. Company Commander Zhang was the only one present besides the He family who knew that two children in the third branch of the He family had a car accident, because he was He Yanjun’s subordinate back then. He even brought fruit and toya with him to see He Qianmin who was hospitalized, and he also knew some of the reasons for the discord between He Qianmin and He Qianjian.

It was just that he didn’t know much, so when he first heard this recording, he didn’t think of going there, but when he saw He Qianmin’s face and listened to the audio played over and over again, a thought suddenly flashed by, and a guess faintly emerged in his heart.

This guess made him widen his eyes, but he couldn’t figure out where the recording came from, and he couldn’t figure out that the car accident was just a matter of a split second, so how could the positions of the passengers be changed at will.

Before he could continue feeling more confused, he heard his soldiers discussing, and suddenly remembered that this was the He family’s family business, and it was also the family business of his former leader. It didn’t sound right for him to be here, but he was also on a task, and couldn’t leave at will. So he could only dryly glare at his two subordinates.

The two soldiers immediately stopped talking when Company Commander Zhang glanced over, but just before they finished speaking, the third audio was over, and the voices of the two had already attracted the attention of others and broke the silence in the room. Company Commander Zhang roughly scanned over the faces of everyone, and the He family members all had different expressions, none of which could be described as good.

After He Qianmin listened to it three times in a row, he didn’t play it again. He put his hands on the table, his back hunched over slightly, his bangs covering his eyes, and one couldn’t tell what emotion he was feeling.

It was Yang Yun who finally broke the silence. She did not know when she had already stood by the table, but her eyes were tightly locked on He Yanya, her voice was trembling, and her tone was almost accusing: “What are these?”

“The truth back then.” He Yanya glanced at everyone present: “Jiang Chen was deliberately switched, Qian Min’s car accident was not an accident, this is the truth.”

“What do you mean?” He Qianmin, who had an ugly complexion, suddenly looked up, immediately found the first audio, and played it again. He listened carefully, and after playing it several times, his expression suddenly changed.

“He Qianjian and my brother being switched, he did it himself?!”

He Yanya saw the shocked and disbelieving expressions of her younger brother, sister-in-law and parents. She pursed her lips and nodded: “I have the complete recording here.”

When she checked the email in the car, she found that she had also received an email from another mailbox number she was not familiar with. After opening it to listen, she realized that it was the first recording that was restored to the audio after decoding.

As soon as she thought about it, she knew who sent it. 

Recalling how the two got along in the laboratory, she felt a trace of inexplicable emotion in her heart, but she thought that she had no right to interfere in anything, and no matter what Shi Fengyue was like, it was certain that he was good to Jiang Chen, and Jiang Chen himself may also…

He Yanya clicked on the audio, put aside these thoughts, straightened up and waited.

The original audio sounded again, but this time there were a few more names, but everyone present lost the bewilderment they had heard before hearing this audio, and their faces changed drastically.

Among them, He Qianjian was included.

Not long after he entered the old house, the System issued an alarm ordering him to escape from here. He felt something wrong and wanted to leave, but he was stopped by Company Commander Zhang who was on guard here.

Trying many methods to no avail, the System’s alarm sound became more and more harsh, from a mere sound interference to an attack that seemed to stir his brain and give him a splitting headache.

This kind of attack was not violent at the beginning, but seemed to spread out layer by layer, a frequency that only he could hear, from an unknown point in his brain, it was as dense as the tip of a needle, piercing him and leaving him in a cold sweat, but still able to stay conscious.

But in the end, the alarm sounded louder in vain.

The tip of the needle turned into a heavy hammer, hitting the depths of his brain again and again. He could not tell where the pain came from, as if it was under his skull or as if his skull was about to shatter. He couldn’t bear it at all, he wanted to scream out loud, but also couldn’t help clenching his teeth, to the point his mouth was full of the scent of blood.

At the same time, it was accompanied by an alarm so sharp that it made his ears ring, so that he couldn’t hear what the people outside were saying, and he couldn’t care about the mess of tears he was. He could only squat on the ground and hug his head, trying to ease the pain a little.

But just now, the splitting headache suddenly disappeared. He Qianjian’s whole body was already soaked in sweat, and he didn’t care whether the System spoke or not. After he breathed a sigh of relief, he heard this recording.

He Qianjian was still in a daze, thinking it was the System.

However, after he slowly recovered a little bit of his senses, thought about his situation, and saw the people present clearly, the recording had been played again, and again, and this time, he could hear clearly and see clearly.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

It was not the System, but the computer on the opposite table.

He Qianjian suddenly realized something that caused his eyes to burst from their sockets.

How could it be!

How could other people know what he said to the System!

Also, if the He family members know about it, what would happen to him…

There were only three lines of dialogue in the audio, and plus the silence at the beginning it was only six seconds in total. Even the voice was very unfamiliar, but such a strange dialogue made He Yanya’s eyebrows twitch, and she kept getting the feeling that something was about to come out of her chest.

She raised her head and said the first sentence after entering the laboratory: “Can you play it again?”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

The ages of the entire team of the Changjiang project were relatively young. Except for the two consultants, the oldest person in the team was not over 35 years old, so the atmosphere of the whole team was usually young and relaxed. When encountering interesting or difficult problems, everyone all liked to discuss together.

After this dialogue was successfully deciphered, it caused a discussion in the laboratory. Some thought that it might be a line cut from a movie or TV series, and some thought that maybe such a fantastical thing had happened, but this was only the first piece of decoded audio, and no conclusions could be drawn from it.

He Yanya’s voice was not loud, and she was sitting at the door, some distance away from the central control room. Most of the people who were discussing did not hear her voice, only Yu Yi, who had been paying attention to the other side, heard her.

Seeing her friend’s expression, she felt that something was wrong, so she walked up to He Yanya and asked, “What’s wrong?”

He Yanya frowned: “I can’t explain clearly, I want to listen to that audio again.”

Yu Yi nodded, raised the volume and said to Jiang Chen, “Boss, can you play that audio again?”

Jiang Chen looked away, pulled out his hand, and touched the keyboard lightly, allowing the audio to play again. Shi Fengyue lowered his eyes and smiled, withdrawing his hand.

“…You now have two options, ordinary biological parents, or wealthy non-biological parents——”

“Wait!” He Yanya raised her voice, “Start from the beginning.”

Jiang Chen clicked play again.

The first sentence of the audio was played over and over again, and He Yanya walked from the door to Jiang Chen’s side, her tightly furrowed eyebrows never loosening. 

After the thirtieth time, Jiang Chen said, “Aunt, what did you hear?”

“Listen carefully.” He Yanya lowered her head and wrote something in a notebook, and said, “The electronic sound between the ‘biological parents and the non-biological parents’ part.”

“Electronic sound?” Jiang Chen frowned slightly, and pressed the play button again.

The other people in the laboratory also pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

This time, everyone heard the brief pause between these two phrases, but no one felt anything unusual.

Only Shi Fengyue returned to his seat at the end of the audio playback, tapped a few times with his fingers, and a software was transmitted to the computer in front of Jiang Chen, “Continue.”

Jiang Chen clicked on the play, and this audio piece was repeated again.

“…biological parents…,…non-biological parents…”

This pause was elongated and enlarged, and the software transmitted by Shi Fengyue popped up a small square blank interface similar to a notepad, with a combination of several rows of letters and numbers appearing on the top, and a Hertz curve similar to the one when making music at the bottom right. The ellipsis at the bottom left appeared for two seconds and changed to “=Jiang Zhuo, Yang Si, =He Yanfeng, Yang Yun”.

He Yanya was standing beside Jiang Chen. She could see the text box that jumped out clearly, and the content inside was naturally very clear.

She paused for a second or two, muttering to complete the conversation just now: “Now you have two choices, the ordinary biological parents Jiang Zhuo, Yang Si, or the wealthy non-biological parents He Yanfeng, Yang Yun, please make your choice…”

“What does that mean?” C was the only person in this laboratory other than Shi Fengyue and He Yanya who fully knew about Jiang Chen’s experience and He Qianjian’s existence. His eyes widened and for the first time in front of so many people his voice raised:: “Aren’t Jiang Zhuo and Yang Si your adoptive parents, boss?! And isn’t He Yanfeng and Yang Yun your biological parents?!”

When these words were uttered, the entire laboratory was silent for two seconds.

Immediately, there were faces with different expressions, but they all couldn’t hide their shock.

Yu Yi immediately looked at He Yanya: “Xiao Ya, Jiang Chen…?”

He Yanya shook her head, and immediately calmed down. She glanced at Jiang Chen whose expression didn’t fluctuate much, and her evaluation of this nephew added another layer in her heart. She asked at the same time: “The high-risk danger found in the old house, is it He Qianjian?”

Jiang Chen was not surprised by He Yanya’s reaction speed. After all, she was able to achieve her current achievements at her age. It would be strange if she couldn’t come to the conclusion at all.

Jiang Chen: “Yes.”

He Yanya nodded, looked up at the data and changing codes that were transmitted layer by layer on the main screen, with a calm expression. She became lost in her thoughts and did not speak again.

Jiang Chen glanced at the other team members who couldn’t hide their curiosity but still didn’t ask a word. He thought for a while, and explained briefly: “Currently, the attack and defense system we are studying belongs to the adopted son of my biological parents. Some accidents happened when he and I were born, so we didn’t switch back to each other’s identities until the end of last year.”

Hearing his explanation, some people nodded and felt that it was quite a dramatic twist, but some people thought of the audio just now, and their eyes changed.

Shi Fengyue’s eyes stayed on the document that was still being parsed: “When did you know about it?”

“When I was seventeen.” Jiang Chen.

Shi Fengyue looked sideways, “Seventeen?”

Jiang Chen tilted his head at him, and smiled slightly: “When do you think it was?”

Shi Fengyue’s eyes landed on his smiling mouth, raised his eyebrows slightly, and was about to speak, when he saw from the corner of his eye that a document he was analyzing had been completed.

Jiang Chen also noticed this at the same time, and immediately clicked on the file.

—— Optimal Choice Record Form.

The eyes of the two saw the name of the file at the same time, and then scrolled down. This was a form with many things recorded in it, but the text inside was not any kind of text that had appeared in the world at present, and no one could understand it.

Shi Fengyue opened the software that had just translated the audio. After multiple analyzes, he still did not find anything.

Although the hidden voice in the audio just now had been processed, it was based on the fact that the language of the audio itself could be recognized. But everything recorded in this form was in another text, or in a password code, and in the absence of any data to check, it was very difficult to parse it out.

Jiang Chen stared intently at the unfamiliar symbols on the form. He kept feeling that he had seen them somewhere, but he couldn’t find a clue when he tried to think about it more. It stood to reason that if they were words he had studied or read before, even if he didn’t recognize them now, there should also be some impressions.

But now it just felt familiar, without any relevant memory.

Jiang Chen and Shi Fengyue already had the documents analyzed, and the others who had nothing else to do gathered together, and someone asked, “What is this? A form?”

The speaker said to himself: “The optimal choice? What does it mean? What is written in it? Which country’s language?”

He Yanya was also here, and she replied to the man: “It’s not any language that has been discovered on the earth. These symbols don’t seem to be arbitrary, and they should belong to a language, but I find it strange that these symbolic input methods can be typed out? Can our computer recognize it if it is typed out?”

After He Yanya’s questions, Jiang Chen suddenly raised his eyes.

When Shi Fengyue noticed it, he asked him in a low voice: “What did you find?”

Jiang Chen nodded, thoughtfully: “Do you still remember the code I showed you before?”

Shi Fengyue thought for a moment: “The code that Changjiang analyzed but still couldn’t decipher the content?”

“Yes.” Jiang Chen said, “I suspect that these symbols are a kind of text, and it comes from the same source as that piece of code.”

Shi Fengyue quickly realized: “How long will it take for Changjiang to decipher this text?”

“It’s hard to say.” Jiang Chen said carefully, “It shouldn’t take long to decipher a small part first, but it may take a long time to decipher all of them.”

Even if it came from the same source, it did not mean that Changjiang, who had only cracked part of the code, could completely crack the text in front of him. The code was different from the language. The programming language converted the written code file into instructions that the machine could recognize, and part of these instructions may be made up of the language of the developer, but the content of the language was there after all.

No matter how many instructions there were, not even 10% of the content of a language system could be used, just like machines could not communicate with human beings with a rich and unexpected vocabulary. The codes that Changjiang cracked at that time were mostly instructions. It might be able to translate these instructions, and then translate the instructions into words they could understand, but even if they deciphered all the instructions, they could not apply them all and translate a simple text.

Shi Fengyue also understood this: “Let’s analyze the audio first.”

Jiang Chen also had the same idea. Just when they finished speaking, the second audio file had already been parsed and played automatically.

“Switch He Qianmin with me immediately! Hurry!” It was still the unfamiliar male voice from before, anxious and panicked.

The cold electronic voice asked: “Is the host positive about exchanging the location with that of He Qianmin?”

The unfamiliar male voice was extremely urgent: “Yes, yes! The car is about to hit us, hurry up!”

“The exchange was successful.”

“Bang——”

“What was that sound just now?” Yu Yi was sorting out the data before, and didn’t hear the first half, but was startled by the final violent impact sound: “Was it in the audio you just turned on?”

Jiang Chen didn’t answer, but a colleague not far away nodded, and said to Yu Yi: “It’s still the two people in the audio before, this time they also exchanged something, it seems to be a change of position, and that final collision sound in the end, I was also taken aback.”

“He Qianmin…” C turned his head to look at Jiang Chen, and asked in a low voice, puzzled, “Isn’t that the boss’s real younger brother?”

He Yanya didn’t have any expression on her face. She seemed to be thinking and didn’t seem to have come back to her senses yet. She just sat with the same expression and position for nearly two minutes.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

It wasn’t until the discussion was over and everyone was doing their own things that she suddenly raised her head and said to Jiang Chen in a very cold voice: “All the audio files you have analyzed, as long as they don’t involve your research, send me a copy of them.”

Jiang Chen paused, then turned his head to look at He Yanya.

He Yanya’s face was covered with frost: “I’m going to stop by at home later.”

One hundred kilometers away, the Institute of Biology.

He Yanya was woken up by the sound of an alarm. She sat up straight and immediately looked at her research sample. After finding nothing unusual, she settled down. She got up and checked the surroundings. Everything was in order, and there was nothing that would trigger an alarm.

When she was puzzled, she suddenly remembered that Jiang Chen and his researchers hadn’t finished their test in her laboratory. She opened the door of the laboratory and went out. She happened to meet her good friend, who was also one of the researchers in the Changjiang Project test at the Institute of Biology, Yu Yi.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

“What happened?”

Yu Yi walked in a hurry, and was suddenly pulled by the arm, and almost didn’t brake in time. After seeing her friend’s face, she hurriedly explained: “The third phase of the test site has issued a high-risk alert, and the Changjiang system has been attacked.”

“Isn’t the third test site my home?” He Yanya asked, “Do you know what’s going on now?”

“I don’t know.” Yu Yi said, “You can call back, we are doing an analysis report here, I really don’t have time to talk to you now, our boss is already rushing over, I have to sort out all the codes and information captured from the other side before he arrives.”

He Yanya let go of Yu Yi, and Yu Yi immediately ran into the laboratory.

The door of the laboratory was closed in front of He Yanya. She stood for two seconds, and immediately took out her cell phone to make a call home. However, after calling several times in a row, no one answered from the landline, neither to her parents’ cell phone, nor to the helper auntie’s cell phone.

Just when she was uneasy, she saw Jiang Chen leading a few people walking towards this side quickly.

He Yanya breathed a sigh of relief, raised her voice and said, “Xiao Chen!”

Jiang Chen nodded, and said hello very quickly: “Aunt, Grandpa and the others are all fine, it’s an electronic device’s alarm, you don’t have to worry.”

He Yanya was relieved now. Seeing that the people behind Jiang Chen had opened the door and were about to enter the laboratory immediately. She hesitated for two seconds, and stopped Jiang Chen again: “Xiao Chen, wait a minute.”

Jiang Chen paused, then turned to look at He Yanya.

He Yanya pursed her lips. She wanted to enter this laboratory with Jiang Chen, but it was hard to say what was on the tip of her tongue. This was a confidential project. Even if the main researcher was her nephew, there were people in the project team who were her good friends, and they were even experimenting in her laboratory. She had never stepped into that newly opened laboratory in so many days.

This was a rule and an agreement.

But now she couldn’t get in touch with her family. Although Jiang Chen said that nothing was wrong, she was really worried if she didn’t see what was going on with her own eyes.

Knowing that time was running out, she opened her mouth within half a second: “Can I go in with you?”

Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment, and the assistant next to him reminded him in a low voice: “Boss.”

“Come in, don’t touch anything, just sit by the door.”

When Jiang Chen walked into the laboratory, He Yanya immediately nodded and followed him in.

The door of the laboratory was closed again. He Yanya looked at the laboratory full of futuristic technology and completely different from what she had seen before. She looked around in surprise, but she was very restrained. Except for the central screen and various computer equipment that she had never seen before, she didn’t look at other places.

On the other side, Jiang Chen was talking to A.

“How is it?”

“As soon as the other party attacked, we activated the third-level defense, and promptly activated the defense of the mother system. We have not suffered any losses for the time being, but the attack method of the other party is very interesting, and it is not any kind of attack method used currently. I’m not sure how long Changjiang can last.” Shi Fengyue spoke quickly and calmly: “Also, I have collected some interesting things here, you can take a look.”

Jiang Chen supported the console with one hand, leaned over to look at the folder that was being cracked in front of him, and said, “What is this?”

“It’s not clear yet.” Shi Fengyue curled his lips and said, “But before this folder, we cracked a small audio file.”

Jiang Chen: “What audio?”

Shi Fengyue also leaned forward a little. He put his hand on Jiang Chen’s hand holding the mouse, clicked on a folder, found the audio file, and played it.

Jiang Chen glanced at him, but didn’t ask him about holding his hand when the content could be completely manipulated with the keyboard.

Since Shi Fengyue entered the Changjiang project, he was very different from any state Jiang Chen had seen before. He was rigorous, critical, and very focused. This was a completely different Shi Fengyue from the rumors, and it was precisely because of this that he quickly dispelled other people’s doubts and quickly integrated into the team.

In truth, if one were to talk about integration, it wasn’t completely the case.

Shi Fengyue was very independent in his work, which was not a good thing for a team. He was indeed very capable. When he was a doctor, Jiang Chen discussed many issues about computer technology with him, including the computer technology he was studying at that time, including the image processing system, and some things related to Changjiang.

In those conversations that Shi Fengyue could always understand, Jiang Chen had already realized that he had some abilities, and even occasionally, like Professor Xiang and the others, felt that it was a pity Shi Fengyue became a doctor. But this emotion was very short-lived, after all scientific research was not just based on theory and discussion, especially in the field of computer system development. No matter how many theories one had, of how knowledgeable one sounded, with a single line of code, the insiders would see the truth.

Moreover, if Shi Fengyue wasn’t a doctor, how could his father be in the health he was now? There were other patients who were in great need of a skilled doctor to help them as well.

So, even though he felt it was a pity occasionally, Jiang Chen never really thought about what would happen if Shi Fengyue returned to the scientific research field.

——Until he saw the powerful skills and talents Shi Fengyue had.

At that moment, he really understood why people who had taught so many students and taught many industry leaders such as Major General Wu, Professor Xiang, Professor Zhou, and Professor Yang, while having different things to say about him, the pity buried deep in their eyes was always the same.

Why did Shi Fengyue study medicine at university, and never really engaged in the computer industry after graduation? Why was it that Professor Xiang still mentioned Shi Fengyue when they needed people, and others didn’t reject this decision on the grounds of his abilities even if they didn’t like Shi Fengyue or agreed to such a decision.

Shi Fengyue belonged to the scientific research industry and the field of computer science research. He should have been here from the beginning, and even Jiang Chen couldn’t imagine what kind of achievements he would have made by now if he had been here from the beginning.

Everyone admired the strong, and the strong cherished each other even more. The higher a person was in a field, the fewer people they could brainstorm with in the same field. The appearance of a person one was inspired by was hard for anyone engaged in research to refuse, let alone let go.

Shi Fengyue was such an existence to Jiang Chen now.

Most of the time they discussed work, and most of the time when they were together they were also at work, and even when they were not working, they mostly talked about work.

But in an atmosphere where there was only work, the man who was sternly admonishing others a moment ago would suddenly raise his eyebrows at him the next moment, snatch away the coffee in your hand, take a sip, and curl his lips: “Sweeter than mine.”

Occasionally, when watching the same screen together, he would approach him quietly, breathing in his ear, but with a calm and serious tone, begin discussing the redevelopment of the database with him.

Towards these many such inadvertent moments with seemingly ulterior meanings, Jiang Chen had gone from the initial hesitation to the present calmness. He was never a passive character, in contrast, after realizing he would not find someone more compatible with him than Shi Fengyue, he had already made a decision.

Jiang Chen had experienced three lives, but he had never experienced a relationship. He didn’t know much about love, but his life experience, which was three times more than ordinary people, made him patient enough to retreat step by step, waiting for an opportunity to come.

He might not be good at flirting, but it was easy for him to adjust and control the conflicts and atmosphere of his researchers, so he quietly and subtly integrated Shi Fengyue, who may not be suitable for a team. Even if Shi Fengyue occasionally showed a character that was neither cooperative nor united, no one felt that he was incongruous anymore.

They would only transfer all issues that could not be coordinated with Shi Fengyue to Jiang Chen, and then wait for the results of Jiang Chen’s communication or cooperation with Shi Fengyue. Every time the results were good, and there were even unexpected surprises occasionally, under such circumstances, no one felt that Shi Fengyue was not easy to cooperate with, and became even more optimistic about his ability.

Subtly, the rest of the team had become accustomed to them working together, and even more accustomed to Jiang Chen and Shi Fengyue’s super high work efficiency when they were together.

So, at this time, seeing the two of them in front of the same computer again, and even getting very close, no one thought it was strange. Instead, they urged: “Boss, the audio is really weird, please listen to it.”

Jiang Chen tilted his head slightly, looked at Shi Fengyue, and the two sets of eyes collided. Just at this time, the audio with two or three seconds of blank time began to sound.

“Now you have two choices, ordinary biological parents, and wealthy non-biological parents, please make a choice.”

——It was the cold mechanical voice that Jiang Chen was all too familiar with.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

He Yanya was attracted by this strange conversation, and her eyes remained on the big screen of the main monitor. She was dizzied by the data coming in layer by layer, but her mind was focused on the audio that was played.

A strange adult male voice appeared: “Isn’t’ it obvious? Of course it’s the rich couple.”

“The host has selected a choice for the first time and successfully bound to DTW001.”

Jiang Chen had just come out of He Yanya’s laboratory when he learned that the location of the third phase of the test had been determined. During this time, he felt a little more relaxed and went back to school, but he would still come here on weekends to keep an eye on the test data.

“Where is it located?”

Jiang Chen recalled the test families that met the requirements in the file library, and frowned slightly.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

He had screened and picked three families before, but after further investigation, he found that each of the three families was inappropriate, so he never submitted the third phase of the test plan. Unexpectedly, at this time, the Military Research Institute directly passed over him and chose a family.

The work directly under his management was intervened by others or even directly made decisions for him. For Jiang Chen, this had already touched the bottom line of his professional code. In normal everyday management, if there were many things that could be relaxed, he would use the most lenient regulations to meet the requirements, but he could not accept this.

“The He family?” Jiang Chen stopped in his tracks: “Okay, I see.”

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chen stood there in a daze for a while, sighed softly, got into the car and said to Qian Yi, “Go to the Military Research Institute.”

Qian Yi turned around: “Aren’t you going to school?”

“No.” Jiang Chen closed his eyes, leaned back on the seat, then opened his eyes after a while. He turned his head to look at the receding scenery outside the window, the corners of his mouth slightly curling up.

The deal was done, so the only thing to do was fight it out.

After He Qianjian entered university, he once again experienced the same life as in his previous life: mediocrity, dullness, being neglected or even ignored, and unfairness.

At the beginning of the semester, He Qianjian had some conflicts with his dormitory roommates because of his mental state. Unexpectedly, the conflicts continued until the end of the semester, and instead of being resolved, they became more and more serious. In the dormitory for four people, there was someone who brought him meals at first, but now the whole dormitory was almost divided into two camps, the other three versus him.

He Qianjian encountered many such situations in his last life. He was disgusted and angry, but there was nothing he could do. However, in this life, since his rebirth, even if he met people who would not coax and support him, there were very few people who dared to challenge him openly.

From being stepped on by anyone to looking down on most people, and back to the state where everyone seemed to be able to step on him again, this gap and contrast made He Qianjian more painful and full of hatred than in his previous life. The injustice of fate also made him more obsessed about certain things.

He deeply believed that everything that happened to him in the last life and now was because he did not have a good family background, and everything he had in this life also came from the He family.

He Qianjian firmly believed that after he repaired his relationship with the System and completely pleased the two elders of the He family, he would be able to return to his previous identity and status. He felt that as long as he could bear the identity of the He family again, these people would naturally change their attitudes.

The System and him were naturally on the same front. After a semester of hard work, He Qianjian finally repaired the relationship with the System. At least the System would no longer disappear or not reply to him for no reason, and would be willing to explain to him when doing many things .

As for the He family, He Qianjian put all his focus on the two elders.

Even if the elders didn’t say anything, there was no denying that they liked the company of their children and grandchildren in their hearts. There were many grandchildren in the He family, but none of them could really accompany the two old elders often. He Qianyang went to university in another city, and came back only during the winter and summer vacations; He Qianmin also entered the second year of high school, and the schoolwork was loaded not to mention the school was far away from the old family house, so he rarely came to accompany the elders except for the monthly dinner; He Quantum could be counted as the one who spent the most time with the elders, but only came here three more times a month at most, and went home after; as for Jiang Chen, he was so busy that he didn’t even go to school, and barely attended the dinner gatherings at the old house twice this semester. It was even more impossible to accompany the elders.

At this time, He Qianjian’s constant company was gratifying and a source of happiness to the two elders. People’s hearts were made of blood and flesh. Old Mr. He gradually became indifferent to him because of He Qianjian’s exam results and the vaguely awareness that He Qianjian might have done something that displeased his son. But now his attitude softened again.

Now it was less than a week before the end of the term. The college He Qianjian went to was considered to be at the end of the second rate list of schools among the colleges and universities in Yan City. Some third rate schools even had a better reputation than his current school, so the management was naturally loose.

But He Qianjian knew that old Mr. He cared about the grades of his grandchildren in school, and he preferred hard-working children, so when the semester was coming to an end, he no longer went back twice a week, but didn’t go back to the old house for two consecutive weeks, and his excuse to the two elders was to prepare for the final exam.

Old Mr. He saw that He Qianjian was still high-spirited and didn’t give up on himself because of the bad learning environment. While he was relieved, he didn’t tell him that the old house would be the place for Jiang Chen’s final testing. In addition to the confidential nature of the project, more importantly, he didn’t want He Qianjian to see that the gap between himself and Jiang Chen was too big, so that he would have the idea of giving up on himself.

Before the first exam, He Qianjian wanted to go back to the He family’s old house and maintain the relationship with the two elders.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped into the old house, he heard the sound of a siren, and at the same time saw several infrared rays coming quickly, gathering at his feet to form a circle of infrared rays. He stood in the middle of it for a few seconds, but did not even get to react when he heard a warning from the System: [Get out of here immediately!]

He Qianjian asked subconsciously: [Why?]

[Go right now! immediately!]

He Qianjian hesitated for a moment, and saw some unfamiliar faces quickly gathering around. He glanced at those people vigilantly, and angrily said, “Who are you, and why are you in my house?”

The leader of the people who surrounded him slightly raised his eyebrows, picked up a walkie-talkie and said, “The person marked as dangerous downstairs seem to be a He family member. Tell old Mr. He or someone else to come down and have a look and recognize him.”

“Yes.”

He Qianjian frowned when he heard the voice from the walkie-talkie, and was about to walk out of the infrared circle.

The leading man however raised his hand to stop him: “You should be He Qianjian, I advise you not to come out yet, this thing is not a decoration, it will be bad if it hurts you.”

“What do you mean?” He Qianjian’s face was livid: “What is this? Why are you in my house? Who are you?”

“Once your identity is confirmed, you will know everything you should know.” The man folded his arms over his chest and looked at him: “But now, I advise you not to move.”

A man person down from upstairs soon. Seeing the young boy standing on the stairs, the man raised his chin to He Qianjian: “Is this person from your family?”

He Qianmin glanced at He Qianjian, then looked at the man: “What’s going on with him?”

“Don’t you see the danger level?” The man pointed to the display screen in the corner of the living room: “High risk.”

He Qianmin glanced at the screen. Of course he knew what the screen was for. When Jiang Chen brought the scientific research team over to install equipment in the old house, he deliberately asked for leave and stayed for a day. He clearly understood the scope and the function each thing represented.

Changjiang could analyze whether the guests were carrying dangerous items through scanning. If not, the alarm would not be issued. Before, a friend of Grandpa came to visit. Apart from being scanned twice going in and out of the house, nothing unexpected happened.

In addition to the actual danger alarm, there was also a layer of protection against dangerous network intrusions and attacks. The Changjiang Home Edition had entered the information of all the owners of the old house into the system, including the electronic equipment information of everyone in the He family. In order to ensure privacy and security, the He family’s personal computer information was set to be unlocked only by themselves, and could not be read at ordinary times, and other electronic devices have also been recorded.

As long as it was a non-offensive electronic device, Changjiang would not react at all. Even the last time when Xiang Hong brought his computer to the old house, there was no problem. Why was it that when it came to He Qianjian, a high-risk alarm was issued.

He Qianmin walked around He Qianjian and looked him up and down. He had nothing on him. He even took off the expensive wristwatch that he used to wear before. There were no dangerous items that would make the alarm sound.

Not only He Qianmin was puzzled, but also the special forces soldiers who had been guarding around the He family’s old house on duty. There was nothing on the person in front of them. The alarm that suddenly sounded must have been an aberration.

He Qianjian was in a stalemate with He Qianmin and the strange man, but he kept calling the System in his mind. The eagerness of the System to have him leave immediately made him a little uneasy, and after those words, the System did not speak again. This caused him to fall into a state of bewildered anxiety.

However, don’t know how many times he called, even old Mr. He and old Mrs. He and He Yanjun had already came down, yet the System didn’t reply to him.

He Yanjun saw the scene in front of him, and said in a deep voice, “What’s going on?”

“Report.” The man stood at attention, “The security system has discovered a hidden danger, and we are waiting to deal with it.”

“Grandpa, Uncle.” He Qianjian suppressed the panic and the increasingly ominous premonition in his heart, “What’s going on?”

He Yanjun frowned and looked over He Qianjian from top to bottom, and said lightly: “Stay there and don’t move, there is a protection system installed at home, it recognizes that your danger level is very high. Once we investigate, you can move.”

He Qianjian couldn’t believe it: “How can I be dangerous? I don’t have anything on me.” In order to make people believe, he even turned up every pocket in his jacket and trousers.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

He Yanjun didn’t see how He Qianjian was dangerous either, but he believed in Jiang Chen’s system, because they had tested it many times before, and every judgment of the system was very accurate.

Just when He Qianjian was getting more and more uneasy, the System’s voice suddenly appeared in his mind again. This was the first time He Qianjian heard it sound so urgent, and intermittently: [Imm… ediately… get out of here… here, hurry!]
