Rejecting Tsinghua and Peking Universities: I Will Lead Harbin Institute of Technology to World Lead

"Damn it! This Lin fellow actually managed to alarm King Chen?!"

Guo Ziming's face turned deathly pale as he watched Chen Jianguo, the deputy director of the municipal bureau, stride towards him.

Chen Jianguo was known within the Beijing system for his incorruptibility and powerful connections, earning him the nickname "King Yama Chen".

If it falls into his hands, even the strongest relationships can be stripped bare!

Alarm bells rang in Guo Ziming's mind, and his only thought was to escape!

We absolutely cannot let Chen Jianguo catch us!

Just as the special police officers were quickly taking control of the ordinary security personnel at the scene and their attention was slightly diverted,

Like a startled rabbit, Guo Ziming darted back to the black van, opened the door, and jumped into the driver's seat with lightning speed!

"Buzz—!!"

The engine roared like a wild beast!

He ripped off his tie, his eyes bloodshot, and slammed the accelerator to the floor!

The van's tires screeched wildly against the ground, emitting pungent blue smoke. The vehicle suddenly lurched forward, like a wild horse, charging fiercely toward the weakest point in the encirclement!

He was determined to force his way out!

"Stop him! Don't let him get away!"

Chen Jianguo's eyes narrowed, and he gave a stern order into the communicator.

"receive!"

The special police on the perimeter reacted extremely quickly.

Two heavy riot control armored vehicles immediately roared and moved sideways, like two moving steel walls, precisely blocking Guo Ziming's only way out!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The van crashed solidly into the reinforced front bumper of the armored vehicle, producing a dull thud.

However, civilian commercial vehicles are like eggs hitting a rock when faced with professional riot control armored vehicles.

The front of the car twisted and deformed instantly, the hood was lifted, and all the airbags deployed.

Guo Ziming was hit so hard that he was dizzy and his forehead was cut open and bleeding profusely.

He acted like a madman, recklessly shifting into reverse, creating distance, and then slamming on the gas pedal to crash into it again!

"Bang! Clang!"

Each futile impact only made the damage to the commercial vehicle worse.

The car windows shattered, parts flew everywhere, and thick smoke began to billow from the engine compartment.

The SWAT officers coldly aimed their guns, not rushing forward, watching him make his final struggle as if he were a clown.

After more than a dozen violent impacts, the van finally stalled completely, its front wheels twisted, and it remained paralyzed on the spot, unable to move.

Thick smoke billowed and sirens wailed.

Guo Ziming lay slumped inside the deployed airbag, his face covered in blood, his eyes unfocused and filled with despair.

He knew he couldn't escape.

"Dad...save me..."

With trembling hands, he took out his phone and dialed the number that was usually all-powerful.

The call was connected almost instantly.

"Ziming? What's up so late?" A calm yet authoritative male voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Dad! I'm in trouble! The person who arrested me is Chen Jianguo! He's near Peking Union Medical College Hospital! You have to find a way to save me! Otherwise, I'm finished!" Guo Ziming said incoherently, his voice trembling with tears.

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone, then the voice suddenly became stern and urgent: "Chen Jianguo?! What did you do to him?! You bastard!"

"Dad! Now is not the time to scold me! You should hurry up..."

"Shut up!" a sharp voice interrupted from the other end of the phone. "Don't do anything unnecessary! I'll figure something out!"

The call was disconnected.

Hearing the busy signal, Guo Ziming felt a faint glimmer of hope rise in his heart.

Maybe... his father can still get him out?

Just then, the deformed door of the van was forcibly pried open by special police using breaching tools.

Several cold gun barrels were pointed at his head.

"Get out of the car! Hands behind your head!"

Guo Ziming glanced at his phone one last time, then dejectedly tossed it aside. Resigned to his fate, he followed the instructions, raised his hands, and staggered out of the wrecked vehicle.

He was immediately handcuffed by two special police officers who twisted his arms behind his back.

"Take him away! Put him in solitary confinement and keep him under strict guard!" Chen Jianguo ordered expressionlessly.

Guo Ziming was roughly taken away, and as he passed by Lin Feng, he cast a venomous glance at him.

Lin Feng didn't even lift his eyelids, as if he were just a pile of garbage about to be swept away.

After dealing with Guo Ziming, Chen Jianguo strode up to Lin Feng.

He carefully examined the young man who was listed as the highest priority for protection in the emergency notice.

Too young to be true, with a calm demeanor and clear, deep eyes, he showed no sign of panic in the face of such a large-scale operation and the danger he had just experienced.

"Comrade Lin Feng, are you alright? Are you injured?" Chen Jianguo's tone was much gentler than when he spoke to others.

"I'm fine, thank you." Lin Feng nodded slightly, his attitude neither humble nor arrogant.

Chen Jianguo was even more astonished.

This young man is not only exceptionally courageous, but his composure also far surpasses that of his peers.

He was just about to ask Lin Feng if he needed to go to the hospital for a check-up first, or if he needed special security arrangements.

An aged yet powerful voice, filled with obvious anxiety and concern, abruptly pierced through the noise of the scene, approaching from afar:

"Xiao Feng! Xiao Feng, are you alright?! Are you okay?!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.

Several unmarked black sedans, guided by special police officers in the distance, sped up and came to an abrupt stop.

The car door opened, and several sharp-eyed, lean-fitting guards, dressed in civilian clothes but exuding a military aura, stepped out first and quickly set up a perimeter.

Immediately afterwards, an elderly man dressed in a simple Zhongshan suit, with white temples but a vigorous spirit, walked briskly towards this side, surrounded by guards.

The old man's face was full of undisguised worry, his eyes searching anxiously before finally locking onto Lin Feng.

He breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw Lin Feng standing there unharmed.

The moment Chen Jianguo saw the old man, his pupils contracted sharply, and his heart skipped a beat!

Academician Li Zhenhua?!

A pillar of the nation's materials science and aerospace fields, a truly unparalleled national hero!

He... he actually came in person?!

Just for this young man named Lin Feng?!

Chen Jianguo was deeply shocked.

He received an urgent order from the highest level of the public security system. He only knew that Lin Feng's identity was extremely important, but he did not expect that it was so important that Academician Li Zhenhua would personally take action in the middle of the night!

This is beyond the scope of his authority to understand.

"Old Li!" Chen Jianguo didn't dare to be negligent. He immediately stepped forward, stood at attention, and saluted, his tone filled with utmost respect. "I am Chen Jianguo, Deputy Director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau! The scene is basically under control, and Comrade Lin Feng is safe and sound!"

Academician Li Zhenhua then shifted his gaze from Lin Feng to Chen Jianguo, nodded, and spoke in a softened tone, though still tinged with lingering fear:

"Director Chen, thank you for your hard work."

He patted Lin Feng on the shoulder, his voice filled with reproach and heartache: "You silly child, you can run into something like this just by going out for a meal! You scared this old man to death! If anything had happened to you, how could I face the country!"

"Mr. Li, I'm fine. It was just a minor accident. I'm sorry to have worried you," Lin Feng quickly reassured him.

"A minor accident?" Li Zhenhua's eyes widened. "They even used guns, and you call that a minor accident?!"

He turned to Chen Jianguo, his tone becoming serious: "Director Chen, what happened tonight was extremely egregious! Openly attempting kidnapping, drugging, and using excessive force on the streets of Beijing..."

"The problems reflected here are shocking! This must be thoroughly investigated and those responsible punished severely! No matter who is involved or what their background is, they must be dealt with strictly according to the law!"

"We must give Comrade Lin Feng a fair explanation, and we must also thoroughly clean up the legal environment in the capital!"

"Yes! Please rest assured, Mr. Li!" Chen Jianguo straightened his back and solemnly replied, "We will definitely set up a special task force to thoroughly investigate this case! We will never let any criminal go unpunished, nor will we wrong any innocent person!"

Academician Li Zhenhua nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Lin Feng with concern: "Shouldn't you go to the hospital for a check-up?"

"No need, Mr. Li, I'm fine," Lin Feng said with a smile. "Next, I just need to cooperate with Director Chen and the others to give a statement and explain the situation."

Chen Jianguo quickly replied, "Yes, Mr. Li, but procedurally, Mr. Lin needs to cooperate by giving a statement. Also, about the lady in the ambulance..."

"She's my friend, Shen Moran, and she's our target tonight," Lin Feng interjected, his expression serious. "She's been drugged and is currently unconscious. I hope Director Chen can arrange reliable personnel and a hospital to ensure her absolute safety and to conduct a comprehensive examination and gather evidence."

"Comrade Lin Feng, please rest assured!" Chen Jianguo immediately assured him, "We have already contacted the best expert team at Peking Union Medical College Hospital to be on standby, and at the same time, we will send female police officers and plainclothes officers to protect Ms. Shen 24 hours a day to ensure her safety and privacy. All evidence collection work will be carried out in accordance with the law and professionally."

"Then I'll have to trouble Director Chen." Lin Feng nodded.

"Xiao Feng, go back and rest early after you finish giving your statement, don't overwork yourself." Li Zhenhua added this reminder before leaving the scene, looking slightly tired but relieved, accompanied by his guards.

As Chen Jianguo watched Academician Li Zhenhua's departing convoy, his speculation about Lin Feng's identity reached an unprecedented level.

What could make a national hero so nervous, prompting high-ranking officials to order his protection at all costs...?

Who exactly is this young man?

He suppressed his curiosity and shock, and his attitude towards Lin Feng became even more serious.

"Comrade Lin Feng, Comrade Zhao Weiguo, please come with me. We'll finish taking your statements as quickly as possible so as not to disturb your rest."

"Thank you for your help, Director Chen."

Lin Feng and Zhao Weiguo followed Chen Jianguo and got into a special police vehicle, which headed towards the Municipal Public Security Bureau.
