A live stream that dramatically transformed a depressed schoolgirl shocked netizens across the count

On the projection screen, just as the three characters "Gao Chengyuan" were surrounded by a red line, a warning popped up in the upper right corner.

[Batch deletion is being performed on the source server]

[Target: Email address for the old health and wellness project]

[Remaining Time: 00:47]

The sounds inside the carriage ceased.

Gu Qingshang looked up.

"Has your email been discovered?"

"Someone has been watching for a while."

Chen Lang stared at the countdown, his hands returning to the keyboard.

"Right now, they're just seeing us come in."

The deletion command was sent along Gu's internal network, targeting more than just the email body.

Attachments, renewal records, historical administrator logs, and even the cancellation application from three years ago were included in the cleanup list.

These seven layers of protection not only keep out outsiders but also leave a way for those inside to destroy evidence.

Su Niannian held the water glass, the rim of the glass stopping at her lips.

"There are about thirty seconds left."

"Can you take it back?"

"If you had asked twenty seconds earlier, I could have praised you even more."

Chen Lang didn't even look up.

"Asking now will only add some noise to my head, but won't help you much."

Su Niannian put the cup on the table.

"With the situation so dire, you still have the nerve to joke around?"

"If I'm not being sarcastic, am I supposed to cry while looking at a progress bar?"

With a flick of his wrist, Chen Lang opened all three windows simultaneously.

The left side locks the access authorization issued by Gu, the middle creates a read-only mirror, and the right side records the other party's deletion operation. The initiating terminal, account permissions, and timestamp are all fixed.

[Mirror progress: 61%]

[Source deletion progress: 44%]

Both progress bars are moving forward together.

Gu Qingshang stood by the table, his palm pressing against the back of the chair.

She had witnessed the group's technology department handle data breaches. A dozen or so people would sit in a conference room, dividing up tasks, and determining access permissions could take several hours.

Chen Lang sat alone in front of the control panel, and even had time to pick up a cup and drink water.

[Mirror progress: 79%]

[Source deletion progress: 72%]

Ye Xingyu pursed her lips, her breathing very softly.

Bai Weiwei hugged the cushion tightly, her arms tightening, creating several creases in the fabric.

Shen Qingci sat to the side and behind Chen Lang, her gaze fixed on his hands as he typed on the keyboard.

Each movement was steady, and the speed remained unchanged.

Only nine seconds left on the countdown.

The deletion progress at the source is increasing rapidly.

86%.

93%.

97%.

Chen Lang pressed Enter.

The screen went black. The next moment, hundreds of file directories filled the screen again.

[Read-only image completed]

The original checksum has been generated.

The deletion behavior has been solidified.

[Source destruction ineffective]

The countdown has reached zero.

No one spoke in the carriage.

Su Niannian put the water glass back on the table and stared at the full menu.

"He spent ages deleting things, only to end up giving us more evidence?"

"To be more precise."

Chen Lang leaned back in his chair, a lazy smile on his lips.

"He brought over the record of the destruction of evidence himself."

"Okay, let's put it another way."

Su Niannian crossed her arms.

"This person deleted the files and even delivered them to my door; their service was quite good."

"You can write a five-star review."

Chen Lang raised an eyebrow.

"And here's another name for you: Gao Chengyuan."

Bai Weiwei buried herself in the cushions, her shoulders shaking.

Just as the laughter began, a hidden folder popped up in the center of the screen.

It was originally hidden outside the public directory, but the recent batch deletion revealed its location.

Chen Lang opened the folder.

The seventeen overseas transfers are listed in sequence.

The recipient bypassed three offshore companies and finally transferred the funds to a medical investment institution registered in Switzerland.

Following this were a series of consulting contracts.

The shell companies under Gao Chengyuan's name, the special budget of Gu's strategic department, and the encrypted emails of He's secretariat—three lines converge under the same name.

Gao Chengyuan.

Gu Qingshang pulled out a chair and sat down, his back straight.

She stared at the last three emails.

"Zhou Henian has the account books."

"Gu Qingshang has arrived at Songhe Village."

"Arrange for someone to handle it."

The last email was sent at 11:46 p.m. last night.

The email also contained a temporary audio attachment that had been deleted twice.

Chen Lang did not play it immediately, but first brought up the upload terminal and source records.

The audio was uploaded by Gao Chengyuan's secretary account to the He family's external investigation company. The original recording time was right after the scarred man and his men attacked the old ancestral hall.

The source matches up.

The timing is right.

The device code is also consistent with the police's fixed communication device.

Chen Lang pressed the play button.

The sound of turbulent wind came from the speakers first, followed by the scarred man's voice.

"Mr. Gao, we didn't receive the goods."

"With Chen Lang around, all the brothers are doomed."

The electrical hum flickered a few times, and Gao Chengyuan lowered his voice.

"The ledgers need to be dealt with."

"It's fine if Gu Qingshang gets it. First, get her back to the Gu family's board of directors, and let the He family handle the public opinion."

The scarred man was panting.

"And what about Cheng Shou-chou?"

There was a two-second pause on the other end of the phone.

Gao Chengyuan spoke:

"He survived ten years ago; he's incredibly resilient."

"Once you find him, don't let him speak again."

The audio stopped.

In the lower right corner of the screen, a series of prompts lit up.

[Audio source has been fixed]

The original link has been verified.

【Device ID Matching】

[Hash checksum has been generated]

[Evidence copies have been independently backed up]

No one in the carriage responded.

Su Niannian stood by the table, her teeth clenched. The cup in her hand was so heavy that it made a crisp sound as it hit the bottom.

"Ten years ago, they drove people into a fire."

"We'll silence them ten years from now."

She stared at Gao Chengyuan on the screen.

"These people don't even bother to pretend to have a bottom line when they do things."

Bai Weiwei hugged the pillow tightly, her voice very low.

"They sought out Mr. Cheng not to treat Old Master Gu's illness at all."

Ye Xingyu held the pen, the tip resting on the paper, the ink slowly spreading.

Ten years ago, Cheng Shouzhou left Beilu despite the infamy.

Ten years later, when Old Master Gu was critically ill, the He family again used their access to Swiss medical resources to force Gu Qingshang into a marriage alliance.

Several things came full circle, and all the blame fell on Cheng Shouzhou.

Gu Qingshang pressed his palm against the edge of the table.

The pearl earrings reflected the white light of the projection.

"Divide the evidence into four parts."

Chen Lang looked at her.

"How do we divide it?"

"Gao Chengyuan's companies and overseas funds have been handed over to the Economic Investigation Department."

"Embezzlement and fraudulent contracts will be referred to the Gu family's supervisory board."

"Regarding the transfer of related accounts and assets, apply for property preservation."

"Keep the communication content and evidence destruction records on file for the lawyer."

She took out her backup phone for emergency contact and dialed the chief lawyer's number.

"Attorney Xu, this is Gu Qingshang."

"The chain of evidence has been sent to the encrypted email address."

"I need you to do three things for me now."

The sound of papers turning over came from the other end of the phone.

Gu Qingshang continued:

"First, I am filing a formal complaint against Gao Chengyuan. He is accused of embezzlement, money laundering, commercial bribery, and instigating others to steal and destroy evidence."

"Second, apply to the court for emergency asset preservation, and freeze his companies, accounts and related assets."

"Third, notify the Gu family's supervisory board to seal all materials related to the health and wellness project from ten years ago."

She looked at the curtain.

"From now on, whoever touches the data is responsible for explaining themselves."

There was a two-second pause on the other end of the phone.

"Ms. Gu, are you sure you want to submit now?"

Gu Qingshang raised his eyes.

On the screen, Gao Chengyuan's name was highlighted in red.

"Sure."

"The Gu family owes Cheng Shouzhuo ten years."

She gripped her phone tightly.

"This debt will be settled starting today."

The phone hangs up.

The only sound in the carriage was the low hum of the operating equipment.

Chen Lang pulled a tissue from the control panel and pushed it to Gu Qingshang's side.

"Boss Gu."

Gu Qingshang looked at him.

"Speak your mind."

"This time, when he gave the order, he acted like a boss."

Gu Qingshang turned his head to the side.

"You've paved the way here, so I have to keep moving forward."

"You can leave."

Chen Lang raised an eyebrow.

"Don't jump into dirty water yourself."

"Arrest people, freeze assets, investigate—let the people in charge do it."

"What you need to do is protect the evidence and prevent them from putting it back on."

Gu Qingshang paused for a moment, then nodded.

"clear."

Titan has completed the final transmission of evidence.

Chen Lang pressed the physical disconnect button.

The indicator lights on the side of the laptop turn off one by one, the encrypted hard drive is ejected, and the offline terminal enters a sealed state.

External connections are closed.

Temporary cache has been cleared.

[The traces of operation on this machine have been destroyed.]

[Evidence collection records have been archived]

Su Niannian stared at the last line of the prompt.

"Just how much stuff did you crammed into this car?"

"Living facilities"

Chen Lang leaned back in his chair.

"Cook, sleep, and fix the computer while you're at it."

"Can computer repair really turn out like this?"

"Skilled worker".

Su Niannian grabbed the cushion, lifted it halfway up, and then put it back down.

"I won't beat you up today."

"Did you suddenly become more sensible?"

"I'm afraid you'll dig up my past mistakes too."

Bai Weiwei lay on the cushion, laughing so hard her shoulders shook.

The stuffiness in the carriage dissipated a bit.

Shen Qingci got up and walked towards the small kitchen.

The kettle made a sound.

She prepared the warm water and brought it to Chen Lang.

"Drink water."

Chen Lang looked up at her.

"Is it specially made for me?"

"smoothly."

"Then I should thank you for your help."

Shen Qingci put the cup down.

"Don't stay up late."

"I have a good daily routine."

"People who are still modifying programs at 3 a.m. have no right to say they have a good work-rest schedule."

Chen Lang held the rim of the glass and took a sip.

"The water temperature is good."

"As long as it's not too hot to eat, don't be picky."

"Shen's service standards have declined."

Shen Qingci turned around.

"Say it again and I'll take the water away."

Chen Lang watched her retreating figure and chuckled.

Thanks.

Shen Qingci stopped in her tracks, her earlobes flushed a light red, but she didn't turn around.

"Finish it."

Ye Xingyu watched the interaction between the two and loosened her grip on the pen.

If Chen Lang could even unravel a ten-year-old case involving the Gu family, what is that contract from Xingyao Interactive Entertainment?

Wang Rui, Long Shao, breach of contract penalties, and those who hide behind the screen waiting for others to bow down.

She looked down at the notepad and wrote down a new line.

Now it's their turn to explain.
