Xie Qingyang was restless and dialed the same Uncle Liu again.

This time, the phone rang for a long time before it was answered.

The man's voice was still warm, but something was different.

"Qingyang, this is really unfortunate. I just asked for you, but the team leader was directly instructed by the Municipal Bureau's special task force. The case seems to be classified as quite serious, and outsiders have no access to the core files."

He paused for a moment, then said, "Uncle has an urgent meeting today, so please don't worry, we'll talk when we have more information!"

beep-

The phone went dead.

Xie Qingyang was completely dumbfounded.

Subsequently, several other elders who had previously agreed to help also sent messages.

They said different things, but they all shared the same central idea.

The case is highly classified, and instructions have been given from above that no one is allowed to inquire about it.

It now appears that there is a lot of power behind this case.

Damn.

How did Wei Jing get involved in this kind of thing? Who exactly did he contact?

Xie Qingyang contacted Assistant Zhang again.

"...Even if you can't issue a bail letter, at least help me find out why he was arrested."

"Yes, Miss."

Assistant Zhang spoke while glancing at the computer screen.

The above is a notice sent by the security department.

Qian Wei was able to accomplish certain things thanks in no small part to Wei Jing's financial support.

"...Don't worry, I'll personally contact the head of the group's legal department and use our compliance channels to inquire about it for you. I'll report back to you as soon as I have the results."

"Okay, go quickly, I'll wait for your call."

"Okay, please don't worry."

Assistant Zhang placed his phone on the table expressionlessly.

He didn't even make an internal call; he simply took a leisurely sip of his coffee and then continued working on the previous documents.

-

Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau, Dongyang Branch.

Interrogation room of the Cyber ​​Security Protection Brigade.

The air was filled with the coldness of disinfectant and metal.

Wei Jing sat in a specially made interrogation chair, the anti-glare fluorescent light hanging high above his head casting a pale halo that made his face almost transparent.

A veteran detective across from me placed his arms crossed on the table. "Do you know why we summoned you?"

"Officer, the summons says I'm suspected of illegally hacking into the national computer information system."

Wei Jing raised his head. "But I swear, I really didn't do such a thing. I'm a mathematics student at Peking University, majoring in basic and applied mathematics. I usually deal with high-energy physics formulas and data modeling. I don't know anything about hacking techniques, let alone have the ability to hack into any national system!"

"Misunderstand?"

The officer chuckled coldly, tapped a few times on the tablet in front of him, and turned to face Wei Jing:

"You know Qian Wei, right? We found your transaction records in his encrypted server and contact logs."

Looking at the clear transfer records on the screen, Wei Jing's temples throbbed twice.

He had expected the police to have this, and his face showed no panic. Instead, he gave a perfectly timed, awkward, and self-deprecating bitter smile.

"Officer, I admit that I did ask Qian Wei to check this license plate. But I did it purely because of personal feelings. I had no idea he was a hacker, much less that he would use illegal and criminal methods to investigate!"

Wei Jing took a deep breath.

"I have an ex-girlfriend. Not long ago, one night, she broke up with me without any warning. I was devastated and tried to win her back. But the very next morning, someone told me that she was driving back to school in a black Aston Martin, and that she was supposedly disheveled when she got out of the car."

He lowered his head. "I don't know if it's true or not, but I want to know. I also suspect that she may have betrayed me a long time ago. I asked her, but she denied it. The next day, we argued in class, which affected my competition... The school can find out about these things. Anyway, I was provoked and wanted to find the car owner to find out what really happened."

Wei Jing's eyes reddened slightly. "I inquired among my friends and someone said that Qian Wei is a very capable 'private investigator' who can find out anyone's background, address, and license plate number for a fee."

He sighed. "I thought private investigators would gather information through social connections or by bribing security guards in parking lots. If I knew he was a lawless outlaw trying to hack into the city's transportation system or even the national database, I wouldn't dare contact him even if I had ten lives!"

Wei Jing said, word by word, "I'm a top student from Peking University, with a bright future ahead of me. How could I possibly ruin my entire life just to find out who my ex-girlfriend cheated on me with? I was deceived by that Qian Wei!"

These words were spoken with extreme precision.

The officers exchanged glances.

This sophistry is indeed valid in terms of the legal chain of evidence.

Because Qian Wei's records only showed that Wei Jing asked him to help check license plates; Wei Jing never directly said anything about having someone hack into the traffic system or using illegal means.

Subjective intent is the key to conviction.

Although Qian Wei was desperate to drag all his clients down with him, he couldn't produce any evidence.

To prove that "Wei Jingming knew he was a hacker and instructed him to commit system intrusion".

The officers fell silent.

Having handled countless cases, they could naturally see that this young man was downplaying the seriousness of the matter and exploiting loopholes in the law.

According to the accounts seized at the scene, the deposit that Wei Jing paid to Qian Wei supported Qian Wei in renting overseas high-defense servers.

This allowed the latter to successfully breach the external defenses of the municipal transportation network by using its illegally constructed backdoor protocol.

Not only did they accurately pinpoint the timestamp of the photo being taken, but they also retrieved and cross-referenced surveillance video streams from the three intersections before and after that section of road during that time period.

This constitutes substantive aiding and abetting cybercrime.

but--

Wei Jing also offered an explanation for this.

He claimed that he thought it was Qian Wei's normal service fee for investigating the case.

Moreover, this intrusion failed to breach the final firewall.

After two hours of grueling interrogation and psychological pressure, Wei Jing stuck to three points: "emotional entanglement, complete ignorance of the hacking methods, and being deceived by the private investigator."

This did not give the police any grounds for complaint.

Ultimately, after completing the formalities, the cyber security team could only temporarily agree to grant him bail pending further investigation and court summons.

On the other side, Jiang Chu drove his Ferrari out of the traffic jam and returned to the Yunxiang Road Manor, covered in sweat.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief after driving into the garage and parking the car.

Fully recovered.

now--

She should think about how to complain to her boyfriend later.

Your daughter bullied me?

Your daughter's friend is trying to scald me to death?

Should I throw myself into his arms and cry as soon as we meet?

Palace dramas seem to always portray things this way.

The men in those dramas are either stupid or pretending to be stupid, but Xie Jing is not that type.

"..."

Jiang Chu returned to the restaurant on the first floor, feeling conflicted.

Xie Jing also came in from outside.

A tall man appeared at the door, casually handing his coat to Butler Wang, his dark eyes falling on her.

"...Did you have fun?"

He asked in a low voice.

Jiang Chu nodded subconsciously, her face beaming with joy, and she couldn't help but let out a big smile. "Yes! I really like that car!"

and many more.

Weren't you supposed to be playing the victim?

Her smile froze for a second.

I don't look like someone who has been severely bullied or is in a state of pain and grievance at all.

"Hmm?" Xie Jing noticed her gaze, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes. "What's wrong?"

Jiang Chu glanced at him furtively.

The man remained serious, but his deep black eyes were fixed on her.

"Well," she bit her lip, "I have something to tell you."
