Chapter 87

After using it for not long, Yingzi reported that he had learned everything. "You learned everything so quickly?" Ye Zong glanced at Yingzi and coldly threatened, "If I find out you're bluffing... humph..."

"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare! Leader, how could I dare to deceive you? If I deceived you, wouldn't I be hanging myself, tired of living?" That sharp-nosed, monkey-faced Yingzi, with a pained expression, immediately patted his chest and said, "I really learned it! If you don't believe me, I can perform it right here! He first drops some liquid into the water, then throws a few small stones in, making people see the stones dissolve, as if a chemical reaction is happening. But actually, the liquid is useless; the stones are the key! The stones are calcium carbide! When they react with water, they produce small bubbles, and the surface of the water has flammable gas..."

Yingzi, now talking about his old trade, was afraid Ye Zong wouldn't believe him and continued, "The liquid he drops is purely a distraction, just like the tricks we used to play in the countryside to get food and drinks. If you don't believe me, just give me a basin of water and a piece of calcium carbide, and I'll perform the fire on water for you right now!"

"Then how did Wang Hongcheng burn all the water and oil mixed together?" Ye Zong still asked with a tone of disbelief.

"Oh, leader, that's... how to put it... right, it's a misconception! Water is heavier than oil, so the oil burns first. The temperature of burning oil is so high that the water below evaporates! In fact, if you take a basin of gasoline and another basin of gasoline mixed with water, and light them both, you'll find that the pure gasoline burns longer... the one mixed with water, as long as the ratio is right, will not leave a single drop of water, and it burns faster!"

"Alright, Old Yang, go prepare what he needs and perform it for me to see." Ye Zong still seemed a bit uneasy as he said this. After Ye Jing saw Yang Bureau lead Yingzi out, she looked surprised and asked Jia Hongjian, "Wang Hongcheng used these tricks to deceive old farmers in the countryside? He just slightly improved these tricks and fooled so many scholars, officials, and soldiers?"

Clearly, Ye Jing also found it hard to believe. She thought some officials and scholars shouldn't be that stupid. "Who would have thought, but who among the deceived is really deceived, and who is pretending to be deceived, we don't know..." Jia Hongjian said with a cold laugh, "It's quite funny, this method of turning water into oil was used by Japanese fraudsters to deceive Yamamoto Isoroku in the 1920s..."

Before long, Yingzi was ready. Under the watchful eyes of Ye Zong, Jia Hongjian, Ye Jing, and others, he repeated Wang Hongcheng's methods from the video, and the results were exactly the same! Seeing this, the one-armed boss Ye Zong laughed in anger, "Good! Good! Talents emerge in the world!"

At this moment, Jia Hongjian leaned close to Ye Zong and whispered, "Uncle Ye, calm down, we'll deal with them one by one the day after tomorrow. It's about time, let's move on to the next step?" Ye Zong suppressed his anger for a few seconds and then nodded. He called Yang Bureau over and gave him some instructions, then stood there watching Yang Bureau hurriedly lead Yingzi away and start calling people around.

"Hey, what's next?" Ye Jing curiously nudged Jia Hongjian with her shoulder and asked. Jia Hongjian turned to look at her, nudged her back, and then said, "Just wait and see the show."

Hey! This guy didn't need to say anything, why did he have to nudge her? Ye Jing was not pleased and nudged him back. Then Jia Hongjian nudged her again, and in no time, the two of them were acting like eight-year-old kids. Soon, under the lead of Yang Bureau, several white Changhe minivans drove out, with people squatting inside. When the cars stopped, Yang Bureau pulled the door open, and a large group of people followed him out. Ye Jing saw that they were all wearing light green short-sleeved summer uniforms, with green steel helmets on their heads and submachine guns in their hands!

Jia Hongjian sneered. He recognized the guns the police were holding; they were the so-called Type 79 submachine guns. These guns were designed for a possible world war with the Soviet Union, so the quality wasn't great. According to some special police netizens in the future, the Type 79 submachine guns had a very fast firing rate but poor accuracy, and beyond 100 meters, the bullets would fly all over the place. The early models could even have the bolt fly off during firing...

However, while Jia Hongjian was disdainful, Ye Jing was looking at the weapons with stars in her eyes. She asked excitedly, "What are we going to do? Are we going to raid Wang Hongcheng's house and then bring him back for severe interrogation? Can I hit him a few times when the time comes?"

Jia Hongjian almost laughed at this! So Ye Jing was a violent person? Or just a curious kid? How could she be interested in everything? Even severe interrogation and hitting people? This was much more violent than Wang Danshui, who only liked to play pranks. "What raid? What's in your head? We're just going to scare some people," Jia Hongjian said.

Soon, Yang Bureau finished his old-fashioned pep talk and invited Jia Hongjian and the others into the cars, and the convoy left the police station.

At this moment, in the campus of Harbin No. 166 Middle School, Wang Long was in class, a student in Class 3, Grade 1. The chemistry teacher was lecturing, and he was secretly playing his Game Boy. Suddenly, someone knocked on the classroom door.

Wang Long looked up and saw the principal standing at the door. After the principal spoke a few words to the teacher, the teacher suddenly called out, "Wang Long, someone is looking for you." "Me?" Wang Long quickly hid his game and puzzledly left the classroom, "Principal, someone is looking for me?" But he didn't see anyone in the corridor after leaving the classroom.

"They are waiting for you elsewhere, just follow me." The principal turned and walked away. Wang Long, confused, followed the principal to an experimental building that was usually deserted. When they reached the top floor, at the door of an almost abandoned chemistry lab, he saw a fat middle-aged man he had never seen before.

"Mr. Yang, I've brought him here. This is the Wang Long you're looking for." The principal pulled Wang Long to his side and said to the fat middle-aged man. The man smiled, nodded, and dismissed the principal, then looked at Wang Long and said, "Come, follow me into the lab. Your parents are inside."

"My parents are here? That can't be possible?" Although he was surprised, Wang Long still followed the middle-aged man into the lab. As soon as he entered, he noticed that the curtains were all drawn, making the room pitch black. Suddenly, the door slammed shut, and the lights in the lab were turned on. Wang Long was shocked to see the lab filled with police officers holding submachine guns and wearing steel helmets!

"Are you Wang Long?" A boy who looked about the same age as Wang Long asked coldly. "Who are you? I'm telling you, my father is Wang Hongcheng! We know people all over the city and province! Let me go right now, do you hear me! Otherwise, don't blame me for being unfriendly!" Wang Long shouted in panic.

"I know, of course I know, that's why we're here. The top scientists in the country will be at the Nan苑 Airport in Beijing the day after tomorrow to verify your father's claims. Do you really think anyone in the city or province will still help your family after that? By then, it will be too late to distance yourself from them," Jia Hongjian said with a cold laugh.

"No... it's not possible! My father's experiment is scientific! It's recognized by Harbin Institute of Technology!" Wang Long stubbornly insisted, clinging to the last straw.

"Ha... you're Wang Hongcheng's son, how could you not know his tricks? The trick of throwing stones into water and igniting it uses calcium carbide, right? Did he teach you that? And the trick of mixing oil and water in the right ratio so that the oil burns and the water evaporates completely, did he teach you that?"

After saying this, Jia Hongjian saw Wang Long stammering and unable to answer, his face turning pale, and continued to pressure him, "You're lucky now, with a wealthy family, and you're the king of the school, with many friends, right? Have you ever thought about what your life would be like if your father was arrested? Without money, would those friends still surround you? I bet older students would come to extort money from you. People would laugh at your family's situation, both behind your back and to your face."

As Wang Long's face turned increasingly pale, Jia Hongjian added with a cruel twist, "Do you know? Your father sent people to Shanghai to catch me a few days ago. Tsk tsk, that's making an enemy. If your father goes to jail, with my ability to gather so many police, do you think I can prevent you from transferring schools? Do you think I can make your high school life miserable? But if you listen to me... I might help you transfer schools and even change your name..."

"…What, what do you want me to do?" Wang Long's face was completely drained of color, like a defeated rooster.

Jia Hongjian, looking at this same-age Wang Long, thought that children were indeed easy to deceive. A few half-true, half-false threats, and he really believed it! Then, Jia Hongjian took out something and waved it in front of Wang Long, "I need evidence of your father's deception..."
