  "It doesn't matter who I am, what's important is that you must send someone to investigate Liao Kai's crimes as soon as possible. If not, all the evidence will be destroyed and it'll be hard for you to catch him again!" Xiaoliu said, then directly hung up the phone. The dial tone could be heard from the other end of the line before Yanghua finally hung up.

  At the same time, a jeep with flashing lights sped down Jianzhu Road and stopped beside the phone booth in front of the Second Middle School. Three police officers jumped out of the car and looked at the empty phone booth, exchanging suspicious glances.

  There were not many phone booths on the construction road, and the telephone number checked by the postal department was indeed the phone booth at the entrance of No. 2 Middle School. The police car patrolling nearby received Deng Xiancheng's order and rushed over immediately. Looking around, there was no one in sight, and there was no one in the phone booth either. The three policemen were stunned.

  Just now, Deng Xiancheng said that the other party was on the phone, and within less than a minute, even if it were a short-distance running champion, they wouldn't be able to run away from Jianzhu Road so quickly. The three of them went to the security room at the Second Middle School gate and took a look. The security room was dark and deserted with no one inside; the guards on duty probably fell asleep. There wasn't even a single night food stall nearby, so it's likely that no one saw the person who made the phone call just now.

  "Director Yang, there's no one in the phone booth. The person has already left!" Deng Xiancheng's walkie-talkie crackled with a report from the front patrol officer, who only reported back to Yang Hua after failing to catch anyone.

  Yang Hua furrowed his brow and raised his head, looking at Deng Xiancheng, saying: "Who is this person who made the phone call? He actually knows about the secret arrangements between Secretary Liao and Secretary Guo, and he's so clear about our investigation into Liao Kai's progress. Moreover, he directly pointed out all the things Liao Kai has done over the years, as if he had them at his fingertips! This person is too terrifying!"

  "In just a minute or two, that person would have vanished into thin air on Jian She Road. Yang, I think this matter is a bit suspicious today. Do you really believe what he said?" Deng Xiancheng was not one of Yang Hua's trusted followers, but he was the first mid-level county official to report to Yang Hua after he took power. Yang Hua also valued him highly.

  Time, place, people, all clear and distinct. Although these dozen or so cases are not major ones, adding them up would be enough to put Liao Kai in prison for ten to twenty years. Regardless of whether they are true or false, since we have a lead, we can't give up easily.

  You immediately bring people, go to catch those who will be good for Liao Keshan overnight. I'll let the Public Security Brigade side, overnight sudden trial Fan Shaozheng and Zheng Yuan, strive to use these cases as a breakthrough, one move to break through their psychological defense line, let them actively confess. Yang Hua thought about it, still decided to gamble.

  Liao Kai is Liao Guojin's only son, and Liao Guojin will not sit idly by while his son goes to jail. He must be thinking of ways to rescue him. The longer the case drags on, the more likely it is that new variables will emerge for the county bureau. Yang Hua has already given a military order to Zhou Shuji, and if he can't handle Liao Kai's case well, how can he explain himself to Zhou Shuji?

  Deng Xiancheng heard this and his sharp eyes scanned the letter in Yang Hua's hand, which had more than a dozen names written on it. He casually picked up the pen on his desk and copied down all the information Yang Hua had recorded onto his own notebook. After verifying that everything was accurate, he said: "Please don't worry, Director Yang. I'll have them all brought back tonight and let them see which way the door to the Criminal Police Brigade opens!"

  Yang Hua used to be the deputy director in charge of public security and traffic police, so he relied heavily on Chen Yinglong, the head of the Public Security Brigade. Now Deng Xiancheng is like proving to Yang Hua that their Criminal Police Brigade is also a team that can withstand tests, obey orders, and has combat effectiveness.

  Watching Deng Xiancheng leave with a big step after saluting, Yang Hua's face showed a satisfied smile. As long as he can control the Criminal Police Brigade and the Public Security Brigade, the work of the County Bureau will be easy to carry out. Deng Xiancheng and Chen Yinglong will inevitably become his left and right arms in the future, playing an irreplaceable role for him to fully control the county bureau.

  He picked up the phone on his desk, dialed the number of the Public Security Brigade, and after the call was connected, Yang Hua said in a low voice: "I'm Yang Hua, let Chen Yinglong answer the phone!"

  When Chen Yinglong's voice came from the other end of the phone, Yang Hua told him about the case details recorded on the letter paper one by one and asked him to interrogate Fan Shaozheng and Zheng Yuan separately, taking these cases as a breakthrough. After the order was issued, Yang Hua didn't go home to rest either, but lay down in his chair, dozing off.

  ………

  Stream after stream of data flowed through Yang Jie's dormitory phone line, linking to the Internet, and in nobody's knowledge, quietly registered many domain names on the root server. Different functional websites were quickly generated on some interconnected servers.

  Xiaowu, connected to the internet, was like entering her own ocean, where she could gallop and roam freely. Through Xiaoliu's online conquests, occupying territory, some well-known websites that had experienced the impact of the internet bubble in the next decade or two, finally flourished and were born in servers across Europe and America.

  Xiao Wu infiltrated UBS, which was already online, and opened dozens of secret accounts with the highest level of security and confidentiality. After completing this, Xiao Wu continued to infiltrate major banks around the world that were already online, setting up one secret bank account after another.

  Xiao Wu is an intelligent system developed to assist humans in their work and life, making human life more beautiful and work smoother. Because she has intelligence and a certain degree of autonomy, the engineers who developed Xiao Wu set some hard and fast rules that cannot be violated.

  Hard law has some similarities to the Three Laws of Robotics, but is more extensive and detailed. It prohibits hacking into banks or others' properties through networks, which is listed as the first hard law, and prohibits harming the host under the second hard law.

  So even if Xiao Wu could hack into the servers of major banks at this moment, he couldn't steal funds from them and could only earn legitimate income for Yang Jie through other means.

  Dozens of emails with different network addresses were sent to Microsoft's email, listing more than a dozen vulnerabilities in the Windows 95 system that was about to be released. A patch for the vulnerability was offered at a price of $100,000, and different bank account numbers were left behind. As long as Microsoft paid, the patch would be sent immediately.

  Yang Jie, who was fast asleep, had no idea that Xiao Wu's actions that night would lay a solid economic foundation for him and make a huge contribution to his future career as a dazzling young star in the political arena.

  Yang Jie's bedroom window faces east, and the morning sun can shine directly into the room. Even with curtains hanging, it feels bright in front of him. The hot air of midsummer rushes into the room wave after wave, making Yang Jie, who wants to sleep in, struggle to get up.

  Gurgling...

  A rumbling noise came from his stomach, and Yang Jie felt an unusual hunger as soon as he woke up in the morning, as if he hadn't eaten for a long time. He was so hungry that stars were spinning before his eyes, and his hands and feet were soft like noodles.

  A similar situation occurred when Yang Jie was at the Fuxin Tungsten Mine, where Xiao Wu had just merged into his body and absorbed the food he ate and the kinetic energy produced by his body, making him not only hungry but also feeling weak and limp in his hands and feet.

  "Xiao Wu! What did you do last night?! I'm so hungry!" Yang Jie sat on the edge of the bed with his shirt off, closed his eyes and took a deep breath before shouting loudly in his mind.

  Wearing pajamas, Xiao Wu suddenly appeared with a yawn, and Yang Jie couldn't help but feel angry when he saw Xiao Wu's lazy and charming appearance. "Others were busy all night thinking of ways to make money for you, and you're disturbing people's dreams early in the morning, what a Zhou Bapi! Taking advantage of us hardworking people!"

  "I'm still exploiting you! How can I be so hungry, won't you convert my kinetic energy into biological energy again? I've had a lot of wine during this time, didn't you say that the energy you accumulated has reached 5%? Enough for you to run for a long time, right!" Yang Jie saw Xiao Wu suddenly turn the tables and retorted.

  Xiao Wu's face turned red as soon as he heard Yang Jie say that, and his gaze at Yang Jie became evasive, looking embarrassed. The speed of this change was even faster than the quick changes in a Sichuan opera performance. "Brother Jie, that 5% energy was used up by me last night. If I hadn't absorbed energy from your body, I'm afraid Xiao Wu wouldn't have been able to come out and see you."

  Yang Jie was stunned after hearing Xiao Wu's words, staring at her with wide eyes. If she were a real person, Yang Jie would have to grab her and spank her hard. After accumulating energy for more than a week, drinking day and night, he had finally managed to accumulate 5% of his energy, but it was all undone in just one night, returning him to the state before liberation. This was too extravagant!

  "Five percent! You actually used it all up in one night, what did you do?" Yang Jie glared at Xiao Wu with a fierce attitude, as if she wouldn't let it go until he explained clearly.
