Chapter 82

"Wait a moment, girl," Jia Hongjian first told Ye Jing on the phone, then turned his head to look at the three police officers and asked, "I'm the one. What's the matter?"

The police officer in charge then showed his badge and said, "I'm the community police officer here. These two are economic crime investigators from Heilongjiang. They need your assistance in an investigation. Can you come with us?"

"From Heilongjiang?" Jia Hongjian glanced at the two police officers behind him. "Wait a moment." Then he spoke to Ye Jing on the phone, "Ye girl, there are two police uncles from the northeast who need to take me for an investigation. Let's talk another day. I might be delayed a bit. I'll contact you in a few days."

After saying this, he ignored Ye Jing's outburst, said goodbye, and hung up. "You can come with me to my dorm. I need to tell my classmates a few things, or my family will worry." When he said this, his expression was very calm, showing none of the fear that ordinary people would have when the police came to their door. His tone was as if some classmates were asking him to play basketball.

"You..." One of the younger police officers started to get agitated at Jia Hongjian's attitude, but he was interrupted by the middle-aged officer who shook his head at him.

Jia Hongjian led the three police officers back to his dorm. "Jingxing, go tell my mom that some police uncles are taking me for an investigation, and not to worry..." As he spoke, Jia Hongjian seemed to realize something and turned to the two police officers from the northeast. "Hey, is it okay for me to say this? It won't make you think I'm trying to destroy evidence or something, right?"

"It's fine. Someone is probably already searching your house. It doesn't matter if you say it," the young police officer replied. His words made Jia Hongjian a bit annoyed. Jia Hongjian looked at him for two seconds, said nothing, and turned to pack up two articles he had just written to give to Jia Jingxing.

At this moment, the young police officer walked over. "Wait, what's this?" he asked. Jia Jingxing glanced at him and handed the two manuscripts to him. "Manuscripts for the internal reference. Want to see?" After saying this, Jia Hongjian suddenly thought of something and said to the young police officer, "But do you have the clearance? This is classified as top secret..."

The young police officer was really intimidated by Jia Hongjian. His hand hovered in the air, unsure whether to take the manuscripts or not. But at this moment, the middle-aged police officer stepped forward and took the manuscripts from Jia Hongjian. "You and your internal reference. If it's not published, it's not top secret." As he spoke, he began to check the manuscripts. When he saw Jia Hongjian's "battle manifesto," he looked up at Jia Hongjian in surprise. After a moment, he strangely did not confiscate the manuscript but returned it to Jia Hongjian.

Upon receiving the manuscript, Jia Hongjian seemed to sense something. Normally, these two police officers should have been sent by Wang Hongcheng to frame him, but the middle-aged officer did not treat his "battle manifesto" as evidence, suggesting that he was only following orders and was subtly helping Jia Hongjian.

Thinking about this, he did not hesitate and handed the manuscript to his nephew. "When you get back, give these two manuscripts to my mom and have her pass them to Old Luo. These are the articles Old Luo specifically requested, understand?" Then, Jia Hongjian followed the three police officers very calmly.

His departure was like a hornet's nest being disturbed, causing chaos among those who knew him. First, Ye Jing, who had heard about the police on the phone, was furious and immediately started making international calls back to China, contacting relatives one by one. She first called her uncle, then her third and fourth uncles, followed by her aunts, crying and complaining as if the one taken by the police was herself. Even when she called her own mother, she said, "I don't care! How can someone as upright as Jia Hongjian be treated like this? Who is Wang Hongcheng? Is he from the Central Military Commission or the Central Committee? How can he command the police to arrest people? Is China his personal property? Mom, if you don't help me by talking to Dad, I'll make him divorce you!"

On the other side, Jia Jingxing hurriedly informed Su Ping, who then called her husband. Upon learning that their home was also being searched, she panicked and, under her husband's urging, rushed to Wang Coulan's house.

When Wang Coulan and Old Luo learned that Jia Hongjian had been taken away, Wang Coulan's face turned dark, and Old Luo was furious! "Rubbish! Absolute rubbish! I sent Jia Hongjian to Heilongjiang to expose fraud. Why don't they arrest me too? They only bully the young. What kind of skill is that? Do they think this country belongs to them? How dare they arrest Jia Hongjian in broad daylight? Do they think we old bones are powerless?"

After saying this, Old Luo immediately started making phone calls. He asked old friends to help investigate the situation, informed old comrades, and, after confirming the situation, directly called old leaders to report it...

When Su Ping returned home, she and her husband, Jia Gang, sat alone in their ransacked home. She suddenly remembered Sun Yusheng, a potential savior, and hurriedly found his phone number and called him to inform him of the situation and ask for help. Sun Yusheng, upon receiving the call, was naturally furious and promised to help. He immediately called Shui Junyi and asked him to report the situation through Xinhua News Agency channels, while he himself rode his motorcycle to Director Yang Guang's house...

At this moment in Harbin, Wang Hongcheng was lecturing his wife with satisfaction, "Look at your small-mindedness. If we had listened to you, we would never have made a fortune! Jia Hongjian wants to expose our fraud? Does he think I, Wang Hongcheng, am easy to bully? Does he think I can't find him just because he uses a pseudonym? Do you know who I am? The heroes of the 'Two Bombs, One Satellite' project have seen my experiments! Over 200 provincial and ministerial leaders and army generals have watched my experiments! Over 200,000 senior intellectuals are cheering for me! Harbin Institute of Technology not only hosted the evaluation of my invention but tomorrow the president and party secretary will jointly sign a letter to the central government, guaranteeing that water can indeed be turned into oil! Who am I? Who do I fear?"

At this moment, Jia Hongjian was getting into a Changhe minivan with the two police officers, heading north... This scene made Jia Hongjian suspicious. He knew the two police officers would not kill him in the wilderness. At least the actions of the middle-aged officer had already shown that he was not on Wang Hongcheng's side. Such behavior of being a pawn and taking the blame for others was not something he would do. It seemed they were taking Jia Hongjian directly back to Heilongjiang.

But this didn't make sense. Jia Hongjian was not a fugitive, and there was no arrest warrant for him. Normally, if he were a suspect, he should be questioned at a police station or bureau in Shanghai first, and only after evidence and a judgment were made would he be taken back to Heilongjiang for legal proceedings. But now, they were taking him directly to Heilongjiang without any questioning, as if they were afraid that local forces in Shanghai would protect him, or they wanted to take him to their own territory to force a confession.

Old Luo had finished making all his calls and was holding the two manuscripts written by Jia Hongjian. He felt guilty towards Jia Hongjian, even though he had not directly encouraged him to go to Heilongjiang, he felt responsible. Now that Jia Hongjian was arrested, he genuinely felt sorry for him.

Looking at the aggressive "battle manifesto," Old Luo made a decision. He found a pen and began to revise the manifesto. Normally, unless Jia Hongjian personally explained and gave a convincing reason, he would never agree to submit such an aggressive article. But now, his mindset was different. He removed some phrases that might offend conservative and neutral figures and, using his decades of experience in struggle, transformed the article into a well-reasoned, patriotic, and passionate declaration of a young genius against the status quo. The article no longer contained insults and curses towards incompetent leaders, but rather expressed deep concern, disappointment, and worry for the country and the nation. Although the old man had toned down the article's intensity, the overall structure and depth remained Jia Hongjian's, with only the harsh words like "pig brain" and "pig-like teammates" removed...

Finally, the old man wrote Jia Hongjian's name at the end of the article! He was preparing to stand with Jia Hongjian, ready to fight for him with all his might!

After everything was done, the old man called his old comrade, Old Zhang, "Hello, Old Zhang, it's me, Old Jia. I have an article written by Jia Hongjian. You must publish it in the 'Internal Reference Supplement' tomorrow! Yes, the one that reports major political events irregularly! The one that only the highest leaders can read! No matter what your reasons are, you must publish it! Isn't that what Xinhua News Agency is for? Can you ignore such a great injustice?"
