Chapter 61

Lin Lai was still waiting for Uncle De's good news, but instead received a disappointing text message: "Miss, I have investigated this person, and he seems quite decent, better than those pretty boys who used to chase after you. I will help you check his background and character. If there are no issues, I think Miss can consider it."

"Stinky Uncle De! Dumb Uncle De! Does he really think that scoundrel is after me!" Lin Lai was so angry that she almost threw her phone.

However, she didn't know that the Uncle De she had high hopes for had been severely beaten by the scoundrel she mentioned. Whether it was because he was beaten into submission or for some other reason, he actually started to appreciate Zhang Qiu.

But Lin Lai didn't agree with Uncle De's opinion. The people who used to chase after her were indeed pretty boys, as Uncle De said. Although they were pretentious, they at least appeared to be gentlemen on the surface. How could they be compared to Zhang Qiu, who was just a scoundrel?

First, he groped her on the bus, touching her buttocks. Although he also caught a thief, it couldn't hide his despicable nature. In short, Lin Lai had a bad impression of him, worse than a fake gentleman.

What she didn't expect was that he not only groped her on the bus but also bullied her in the dormitory. This wasn't intentional, which was simply unjust.

This incident made Lin Lai even more aware of Zhang Qiu's true nature, and she firmly remembered him.

So this afternoon, she recognized Zhang Qiu at just one glance.

But she didn't expect that the guy would pretend not to know her! Fortunately, she pulled his hand, causing a commotion and attracting the attention of the bystanders. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to find out his information.

In such a large school, unless you were a famous beauty like Lin Lai, it was hard to find out the class of someone you suddenly met without knowing anyone. Unless you could follow them! Clearly, Lin Lai wouldn't do something like that.

But she unexpectedly found out the guy's class and name, yet couldn't do anything about him.

Out of shyness and the desire to protect her privacy and reputation, Lin Lai didn't tell Uncle De the truth about being bullied by Zhang Qiu several times. She only said that a fly was circling around her, trying to pursue her, which was very annoying, and hoped Uncle De could help solve it.

Uncle De had handled countless such cases of dealing with suitors and had never failed. He never thought that he would meet his Waterloo with Zhang Qiu.

If Uncle De wasn't her father's old friend, like family, a trusted servant, she would have cursed him, thinking that Uncle De had been bought off by Zhang Qiu and was playing a trick on her.

Lin Lai, who had the attributes of a top student, was naturally not stupid. She quickly figured out the problem.

"That guy dared to jump from the third floor, showing that he has good skills. Maybe his martial arts were recognized by Uncle De! That's why Uncle De spoke up for him! But, Uncle De, you don't understand how shameless and hateful he is, and he can't be forgiven!" However, some things were too hard for her to say, and she couldn't reveal them to Uncle De.

After a night of turmoil, the next day, Lin Lai felt even angrier. After morning study, she immediately made a call.

"Uncle Chen! Nana is being bullied, are you going to do something about it?" As soon as the call connected, Lin Lai pouted.

The other end of the line asked, "Nana, don't you have Uncle De to protect you? Why should I get involved?"

"Uncle De? Don't mention him. He doesn't care at all!" Lin Lai pouted.

The other end of the line said, "It seems you have something you haven't told Uncle. The situation is tense now, you can't put Uncle in a difficult position!"

"Nana is so well-behaved, how could I put Uncle in a difficult position? Actually, it's not me who is being bullied, but one of my classmates. That's why Uncle De doesn't care."

"Someone is a scoundrel, touching my classmate's buttocks. Now my classmate is almost crying. To comfort her, I made a big promise to punish that pervert! Uncle Chen, if you don't help me, who will?"

The other end of the line said, "Reporting it to the teacher should be enough. We can't interfere with the education system! Such behavior, although despicable, can't be legally punished, which is quite troublesome."

"Teacher? Don't even mention it. Their words are even worse than yours! Because there's no evidence, they don't care. It's almost time for the college entrance exam, and they don't want to cause any trouble, so they suppress everything." Lin Lai said, "Uncle! Are you really not going to do anything? If he dares to touch my classmate today, he will dare to bully me tomorrow! If Nana is really bullied, it will be too late! Such a scumbag can't be tolerated! Please, Uncle, give me a peaceful campus. If you help Nana, Nana will remember your kindness."

The other end of the line finally relented, "Alright, alright! Uncle can't resist you. You're such a troublemaker, little Nana."

"Ugh! Don't call me that!" Lin Lai spat.

The other end of the line asked, "What do you want to do?"

"It doesn't have to be anything major. Just detain him for a few days, as long as possible. If possible, let the whole school know his true nature. As for witnesses, my classmate is the victim, but she's emotionally unstable and can't appear. I am the eyewitness! If you need a statement, you can find me." Lin Lai said.

The other end of the line said, "I'll try my best! But don't expect too much for the whole school to know. It would be good if the school administration knows. The education system also needs to maintain its reputation, especially during the college entrance exam, you know, stability is key!"

"Okay, I understand! Thank you, Uncle Chen!"

After saying that, Lin Lai hung up the phone with a smile, muttering, "Hmph! Scoundrel, let you taste the police station! Daring to insult this girl, you must pay a price! Just because you can fight, are you so great?"

"Stinky Uncle De! If he had put in the effort, it wouldn't have been so troublesome!"

...

Zhang Qiu didn't know he was already on someone's mind.

Zhang Qiu, who had already mastered various types of problems and solving methods, had no interest in this kind of review through a sea of problems.

Throughout the class, he was playing with his phone.

Of course, it wasn't just playing with the phone, but using it to connect to the personal server he had just bought. He named this server No. 1.

He gave various commands to No. 1 server and used the power of various bots to observe the overall network situation.

The focus, of course, was on the Halloween virus.

Only now did he realize that the dedicated tool he released had become a sensation.

Not only was it wildly reprinted on the internet in Xia, but major portal sites also reprinted it, and major security companies updated their virus databases based on this dedicated tool.

Even the networks in the United States and Europe began to re-post the dedicated tool released by Zhang Qiu.

Zhang Qiu realized how famous he had become, and he felt a bit proud.

Just a few weeks ago, he was still a nobody who wouldn't even cause a ripple if he committed suicide. Now he could become a technical god admired worldwide. How could this contrast in status not make him feel vain?

However, he had experienced too many contrasts recently and was almost numb. He only felt a bit vain and then quickly regained his composure, a sign of maturity.

He had transformed from an introverted middle schooler to a sunny genius.

Yes, the way he looked now, only the word "genius" could describe him. An 18-year-old world-class technician, what else could it be?

With the accumulation of time, he would have more world-class skills, and computer technology was just the beginning. When people were amazed again, even the word "genius" might not be enough to describe Zhang Qiu.

Zhang Qiu had a premonition that the Halloween virus would mutate again. So he used his phone to control the No. 1 server and wrote an information retrieval tool that could actively retrieve information about the Halloween virus.

As he delved deeper into the writing, the tool gradually became more complete and powerful, and Zhang Qiu eventually added the function of capturing various versions of the Halloween virus and isolating them in a sandbox.

This tool was hung on the server, using various bots to quickly search for relevant information and collect various versions of the Halloween virus, all isolated in a sandbox for analysis. Once a virus with many different characteristics was found, it would be marked as a mutation, and Zhang Qiu would manually review it.

After hanging the information retrieval tool, Zhang Qiu controlled the No. 1 server to jump into the Fang Fei Yiren server and check if the traps he had set had left any useful information.

Just as he was checking, someone came to find him again, and this time it was the vice-principal.

Zhang Qiu thought it was Wang Quanbin coming to find him again, but when he entered the office, he found it was the police.

Several plainclothes officers turned to Zhang Qiu as soon as they saw him. One of them immediately showed his credentials and said, "Zhang Qiu, we suspect you are involved in a case. Please come with us to the station for investigation. Here is my ID!"

"What do you base this on? Do you have any evidence?" Zhang Qiu was angry. There were still some school leaders and teachers in the office. The plainclothes officer's words were like directly labeling Zhang Qiu as a scoundrel. Although he had indeed been a scoundrel, who would want to be exposed?

"Zhang Qiu, the innocent will be clear, and the guilty will be guilty. I suggest you go with the police for an investigation. If necessary, you can ask Mr. Wang to testify," the vice-principal reminded Zhang Qiu. He believed that Zhang Qiu was Wang Quanbin's good friend, so he reminded Zhang Qiu not to panic and that Wang Quanbin could handle any issues.

The vice-principal mentioned Mr. Wang, and Zhang Qiu thought of another Mr. Wang. Oh, no... he should be called Comrade Wang, Director Wang Xiangdong.

Thinking of this, Zhang Qiu felt much more at ease and said, "Alright! If you are polite, I can go with you for an investigation. But before the case is determined, don't put the blame on me! Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."

The plainclothes officers couldn't help but look at Zhang Qiu differently. Knowing they were police, he was still so arrogant, either because he had something to rely on or because he had a deep background. Thinking of the vice-principal's reminder, the plainclothes officers couldn't help but think, "No wonder the chief personally looked into this small case! It might be a conflict between powerful figures!"
