Arranged marriage, love blossoms; a fiercely devoted soldier dotes on her alone.

In the pitch-black night sky, a Gulfstream G900 private luxury business jet is flying smoothly.

Inside the cabin,

Deng Zhichong smiled calmly at Xiao Zhan and said, "Brother Xiao Zhan, let me ask you a question: Can corruption and bribery be completely eradicated? Can you bring all those who break the law to justice?"

Xiao Zhan thought for a moment, shook his head, and said truthfully, "No, there are countless people who embezzle, accept bribes, and break the law."

Deng Zhi grinned and said, "You know it's impossible to completely eradicate it. With the current economic downturn, some people take risks due to employment difficulties, or the strict legal penalties for minor offenses make criminal behavior more visible. At the same time, while the high-pressure anti-corruption campaign effectively curbs corruption, it may also trigger excessive vigilance towards public power among some people. Insufficient ideological and political education and cautionary education for cadres within the system leads to wavering ideals and beliefs. For example, most people who violate discipline end up on the path of crime because they relax their efforts to reform their worldview. Everyone is cursing corrupt officials, but no one has analyzed why so many people still engage in corruption, knowing that corruption will be condemned by the people and that it will lead to imprisonment."

Xiao Zhan continued, "Because one can gain wealth without working by using the power in one's hands, and using that power as a tool for accumulating wealth is quick, convenient, safe, reliable, and highly secretive, since very few people get into trouble."

Deng Zhi nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. Some people say that there are many corrupt officials because the punishment is not severe enough. Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was ruthless and killed corrupt officials on sight, but Ming Dynasty officials were still corrupt. Some people say that the supervision mechanism is not in place. But countries like India, Brazil, and Mexico have one person, one vote election systems, and their corruption is much more serious than in our country."

According to statistics from relevant departments, nearly a hundred high-ranking officials have been investigated and punished for corruption in the past year, not to mention countless lower-ranking officials. Are there truly so many corrupt officials, or is our anti-corruption net becoming increasingly tight? Data shows that the number of corruption cases investigated has been rising year by year in recent years. Some say this indicates the problem is becoming more serious, while others say it's a necessary process of societal "removal of the poison." Is it "deepening darkness" or "dawn approaching"? Will society become cleaner after so many corrupt officials are exposed?

"What benefits will ordinary people like us get?"

"What other hidden secrets are there that haven't been revealed?"

Xiao Zhan frowned and stared at Deng Zhi, asking, "Can you please stay on topic? What does this have to do with you helping these people?"

"After all, it wasn't you who embezzled or accepted bribes. Let's keep things separate, and I can still distinguish between the primary and secondary issues."

Deng Zhi laughed and said, "Don't be in such a hurry. To understand the cause of this matter, we must understand why I did this and what the significance of doing it is. Some people say that the more corrupt officials are investigated, the more there are, and that this society is beyond saving. Others say that it is precisely because the investigation is so thorough that so many problems have suddenly emerged."

"Then let society provide the answer to this question."

"Xiao Zhan, can you answer this question?"

Xiao Zhan shook his head and said honestly, "I really can't answer that, but I know that the fight against corruption is a protracted war."

"I know even better that by helping them you are aiding and abetting evil, and your crime is compounded."

Deng Zhi wasn't angry; he just smiled calmly and said, "Xiao Zhan, you're right. If I told you that I thought the same thing as you back then, would you believe me?"

Xiao Zhan was taken aback for a moment, then said, "I believe you. Why wouldn't I believe you? But you are now standing against the people, aiding and abetting evil and helping those people escape the punishment of the country and the law. You are a sinner against the people."

"Xiao Zhan, there are many ways to be patriotic. As long as you adhere to the principle of serving the people, you will have the people in your heart."

Xiao Zhan was a little confused by Deng Zhi's words, and only half understood them. There was too much information to process in a short time.

"Thud!"

Deng Zhi lit a cigarette and handed it to Xiao Zhan, saying, "Think carefully about whether what I said makes sense."

Xiao Zhan took the cigarette, took a deep drag, and his brain started working at high speed. Then he said thoughtfully, "You mean that since we can't stop corruption and bribery at the source, we should intercept it downstream, use a large amount of money for our own purposes, and at the same time, we can get information on the relevant personnel. When necessary, the information in our hands can be relevant evidence."

Deng Zhi smiled with satisfaction, gave a thumbs up and said, "Xiao Zhan, I knew I hadn't misjudged you. You understand so quickly. In fact, I've been doing this all these years. Think about it, why do so many people know me, yet I've always been safe and sound? That explains everything."

Xiao Zhan looked into Deng Zhi's sharp eyes with his deep gaze and asked, "How can you expect me to believe what you just said? Empty words are not enough to convince me."

Deng Zhi: "That's easy!"

Then, she said to Deng Ying, who had been sitting silently beside her, "Little sister, open the system and let Xiao Zhan take a look."

"I think he'll understand everything after he finishes reading it."

Deng Ying responded, "Okay, brother."

Deng Ying sat there quietly, watching the two men engage in a heated debate without saying a word.

This demonstrates his good upbringing and personal qualities.

Deng Ying then took out a USB drive, inserted it into her laptop, turned on the computer, and entered a special page. She then took out her phone, looked at the screen, and entered a long password of numbers and symbols on the computer. After that, the computer entered a completely new page.

Deng Ying said, "Brother Zhan, come and take a look."

Xiao Zhan asked curiously, "What do you want me to see?"

Deng Zhi: "This is a system called 'The Arbiter of the Sky' that was specially designed for me. It records detailed information on all those suspected of money laundering, including personal profiles, every transaction record, and the final destination of the money."

Xiao Zhan was quite surprised upon hearing this and asked, "Who designed this system? Is it secure?"

"If the information inside is leaked, the world will be in chaos."

Deng Zhi laughed and said, "Hahaha, it was designed by your father."

Xiao Zhan exclaimed in surprise, "My dad designed it! Isn't he a researcher? How could he design such an advanced system?"

Deng Zhi laughed and said, "Xiao Zhan, don't underestimate your father's abilities. His research team is a world-class scientific and technological team, full of talented people."

Xiao Zhan smiled.

He is proud to have such a father.

A few minutes later,

After quickly browsing through the contents of the "Azure Arbiter" system, Xiao Zhan said, "Is it safe for you to carry such an important system around like this?"

Deng Zhi pointed to the USB drive in Deng Ying's hand and said, "This USB drive is the key to open the system, and the password for the key will be automatically generated after each use. Even we don't know what the password will be for entering the 'Sky Judge' system next time."

"It doesn't matter if it's lost or stolen."

Xiao Zhan looked at Deng Ying curiously and asked, "How did you manage to access the system just now?"
