Chapter 85 N. The dust has settled [2 more]

Feng Cheng?

Many memories flooded in. At first, he didn't have a deep impression of this person. He only knew that he was a junior student in the same major. He didn't have many chances to meet each other. Later, at the New York seminar, Su Huihuan and Feng Cheng While chatting, he happened to bump into him and greeted him politely.

It was not long ago that he found out through Su Hui that Feng Cheng was actually Feng Zhiguo's son.

"I don't have much time, so I'll cut to the chase. I know you're investigating Xu Zhi's affairs, and I've collected some evidence, which may be useful to you."

Ning Yixiao didn't hide anymore, "Where did the evidence come from? What are the terms of the deal? Tell me directly."

"I've been following him for the past few years, and I've learned a little bit about it. The reason why I know you're investigating is because the person you're looking for has shown his feet, and I just noticed it. You should be glad that no one else discovered it. .”

Feng Cheng spoke much more fluently than before, but his tone was still weak, "The conditions I want are very simple, to get rid of the current life, and how to do it, I will contact you again. Your assistant will receive an encrypted email."

Feng Cheng reminded him, "Senior, do you still remember the professor in our department's computer security course? He told us about a case that only you successfully solved."

After speaking, the phone hung up.

Ning Yixiao thought of the elective course he mentioned, but it was not a simple encryption problem, but a virus.

Ten minutes later, Carl did receive an anonymous email with encrypted attachments. After clicking on it, the entire laptop crashed.

Carl was completely dumbfounded, "What's wrong with my laptop? Why is the screen black?"

In the next second, a huge flashing animation symbol, a green skull, appeared on the computer screen.

Feng Cheng restored the virus invasion case at that time.

"give me."

Ning Yixiao took the notebook and spent 10 minutes in the car. Using the same method as before, he solved the problem of the virus attack. He also found the encrypted attachment package that was downloaded automatically. After cracking it, he opened it. Inside were many and Financial-related data, and a lot of pictures.

The trouble with this virus is that if it is not handled correctly, everything will be destroyed without leaving any traces.

Ning Yixiao transferred the attachment to Charles and returned the notebook to Carl.

Carl hasn't admired his boss for a long time, and he even almost forgot that this elite's job is actually a programmer.

"Are you ready? Then the data in me..."

"It's still there, this attack just went through a process, and I have backed it up." Ning Yixiao glanced at him, "There are too many high-risk ports in your computer, fortunately, it is not a technical post, and I will not join the company in the future." server."

Carl nodded bitterly, "Okay."

Fortunately, he is just a secretary in an administrative post.

He took the time to go through all the evidence with Charles, and there was indeed a lot of content that was difficult for them to collect outside.

They also found out that after Feng Cheng graduated, he joined Xu Zhi's unit and worked in a data post. These data should be copied and collected secretly by him while working.

There was a lack of one person before, Ning Yixiao thought, Feng Cheng was the most suitable person.

On the third day, the public number contacted Carl again, and Carl transferred the call to Ning Yixiao.

"You have received it."

"Well." Ning Yixiao said, "We discussed it, and these are indeed enough to convict, but you should know better than us that these forces are deeply intertwined, and it is difficult to guarantee that no one from Xu Zhi will appear in any link."

"So? You quit?"

Ning Yixiao denied, "No, I need someone to disclose all of this, and it shouldn't be difficult for you to do so."

Feng Cheng hesitated, "Me? What do you want me to do."

"It's very simple. Now there are people who want to get rid of him more than you and me. As long as you give all the evidence to the right people, there will always be people who are eager to turn the old case back to the bottom. You don't know it yet, do you?" Even Xu Zhi's identity is false, and he has more lives on his back than you think, and if you add them up, you will be punished for several crimes, and the death penalty is not too much."

Feng Cheng was silent for a moment, "You asked me to fire this shot."

Ning Yixiao said calmly, "Don't worry, I will let you escape safely, and you don't have to stay in the country when the time comes, I can help you wherever you want to go."

He knew that Feng Cheng didn't want to expose himself, so he chose to contact him in such a covert way, being cautious, but Ning Yixiao couldn't find a more suitable candidate, because not everyone can go straight to their lair, Feng Cheng is the same A person in a system, and only he can deliver these things to precise targets, defeating them from within.

After a lot of wrestling, Feng Cheng, who wanted to successfully bring down Xu Zhi, was successfully persuaded, and the two finally reached a cooperation.

To show his sincerity, Ning Yixiao spent a few days paving Feng Cheng's back road and prepared a lot of documents for him. As long as he signed, he could change his name and surname and start over in another country without anyone's permission. threat.

Feng Cheng saw this and made up his mind to follow the plan.

Things are far easier to clean up than just a little bit of building.It's like removing the most important piece of a building made of building blocks, and it collapses in an instant.

Feng Cheng fired the first shot from inside, avoiding Xu Zhi's eyeliner, and handed everything over to Xu Zhi's biggest competitor in an encrypted manner. At the same time, he prepared a copy and submitted it anonymously to the relevant department.

Sure enough, as Ning Yixiao said, the situation developed rapidly.

When the tree fell and the monkeys scattered, and people were panicking, Ning Yixiao's people called the police and contacted the media at the same time. There were many obstacles in reporting the facts at the beginning, but once it was changed to [suspected of killing a friend and impersonating] this insensitive and No media would be willing to take a share of such a topical event.

In just a few days, all the fuses were ignited at the same time, and a vigorous and monstrous fire was ignited. The situation intensified and became unstoppable.Such a bad incident has attracted the attention of the public, and public opinion has suddenly risen, gradually forming a prairie fire on the Internet, which cannot be suppressed at all.

[horrible!How many more things like this are there? ]

[Why can he not be found out for so many years, there must be more people behind him who need to be thoroughly investigated! ]

[So what about the person he replaced?Are you gone? ]

[Death penalty, I want to see this person die, otherwise I won't be able to sleep. ]

The fake Xu Zhi was completely exposed, and the power he had painstakingly managed and cultivated over the years also collapsed.

After playing his role, Feng Cheng came to the United States with the help of Ning Yixiao, and temporarily got rid of the siege and interception of the fake Xu Zhi's remnants.

Once the fake Xu Zhi was investigated, more and more inside stories were involved. His criminal facts were far more than that. Even Su Hui, who was far away across the ocean, received a contact call to cooperate with the investigation.

After six years, with Ning Yixiao's company, he finally returned to his hometown, but he didn't feel good.

The police's investigation and evidence collection process was not cumbersome. In just one morning, Su Hui informed the police of the fact that Xu Zhi was forcibly sent to a mental hospital for imprisonment, as well as the process of his grandmother being forcibly sent abroad to "retire in the elderly", and issued a prepared evidence.

"We will submit these to the relevant departments. Thank you for your cooperation. There is one more thing that involves your mother's car accident. According to the confessions of some people involved, this car accident was probably caused by malicious intent."

After Su Hui escaped from the mental hospital, it took more than half a year to learn of her mother's death through the embassy.He has been having a hard time facing it, but in his heart, he doubts whether this is really just a natural disaster or a man-made disaster.

But when the police informed him of this possibility, Su Hui found it difficult to accept such a solid truth.

"According to part of the testimony and a telephone recording, it can be preliminarily determined that the brakes of the car your mother was riding in was maliciously damaged by someone. Appeared again, touched the car your mother was driving at the time of the incident, and his whereabouts can also prove this, but in the end this person accidentally fell off the cliff and died."

The police pushed a document over, Su Hui lowered his head, and saw Feng Zhiguo's face on it.

"After voiceprint analysis, the two people in the phone recording are Feng Zhiguo and Guan Cheng. According to the content, it can basically be determined that Guan Cheng instigated Feng Zhiguo to commit a crime."

Su Hui was not surprised by this, and even felt numb. He was just curious, "Who provided these recordings? Do I have the right to know?"

The answer was no, but even if they didn't say it directly, Su Hui would have guessed it.

Feng Zhiguo is a stupid person, and he doesn't have the consciousness of backing up the call recordings. Such recordings can only be left by a scheming person like Guan Cheng, and the purpose is probably to keep them as threats.

Feng Cheng was the only one who could dig out such private content.

From their mouths, Su Hui learned that Guan Cheng had emptied all the assets of the Ji family over the years, including the company established by his biological father and handed over to his mother. These illegal assets were investigated and dealt with.

But Su Hui has never cared about these external things for a day, and it is the same now.

In the face of numerous criminal evidence, Guan Cheng confessed everything he had done, and also provided the exact location where the real Xu Zhi was buried by him. Xu Zhi, lying there alone for decades.

"Thank you for your investigation."

When leaving the gate of the police station, Su Hui saw Ning Yixiao was smoking a cigarette standing outside on the street, wearing simple black short-sleeved jeans, a baseball cap, like a college student, he looked nothing like he was six years ago respectively.

Su Hui's emotions were complicated, and it was clear that the truth was revealed, which was something to be happy about, but even if these criminal evidences surfaced and everything came to light, what was lost would never come back. I can't come back.

Ning Yixiao turned around occasionally and found that Su Hui had come out, standing a few meters behind him, so she put out the cigarette, walked towards him, and gave Su Hui a hug.

"Are you okay?" He rubbed Su Hui's hair, his eyes were full of concern and comfort.

Su Hui nodded, feeling a little powerless to speak.

Ning Yixiao saw that his face was pale and he didn't look well, so he was worried about him, so he suggested, "I arranged for someone to take care of the aftermath. If you feel tired, we can go back first."

But Su Hui refused.

"I want to apply to meet Guan Cheng."

Ning Yixiao understood him very well. To Su Hui, this person has always been like a lingering nightmare.

Since their reunion, Su Hui has avoided mentioning this name. It's not because he doesn't know who caused the matter until now. On the contrary, it's because he knows too well that he hated this person a long time ago, but what did he do six years ago? It can't be changed, the entire Ji family is occupied by doves and magpies, and he is also confined by a mental illness certificate, and there is nothing he can do.

Just mentioning this name makes Su Hui feel like throwing up physiologically.

So he had to face it head-on one last time.

"I go with you."

The sun in the afternoon is particularly strong, hanging above the head like a sharp knife, cutting off the shadow of everyone on the street, and exposing everything to the sun. Sin, lies and greedy human nature, there is nothing to escape shape.

Through the glass, Su Hui sat on the stool and watched Guan Cheng come out from the back room.I haven't seen him in six years. He hasn't changed much. It's just that he is old, with white hair on his temples, and his face is becoming more and more hideous. Wearing uniform clothes, it's like being branded with the word "prisoner" on his face.

Sitting face to face, Su Hui would think of his mother through this face, and every pore in his body was trembling.

He picked up the microphone and watched Guan Cheng do the same.

Su Hui was expressionless, but Guan Cheng smiled.

"I didn't expect that it was you who came to see me in the end."

Su Hui also hooked the corners of his mouth, and said in a cold tone, "I like to watch evil come in return. If you miss this opportunity, you won't be able to see it next time."

Guan Cheng stared at his face with those cloudy eyes, "Su Hui, I always wanted to say that you were born with everything, but it's a pity that you have a sick mind, so you deserve nothing."

"If it was six years ago, this might still irritate me." Su Hui was very calm, "but not now. I still remember the courteous face you had when you first came to my house, you yourself Probably don't even remember."

"So what?" Guan Cheng smiled without any regrets.

"When you sleep at night, don't you think of your friend, the real Xu Zhi?" Su Hui stared into his eyes with a calm tone, "He is your only friend at school. He knows you are desperate, come and see him." You, help you, bring you good news, but what you get in return is your jealousy, your malice, you have never been happy for him to be admitted to the ideal school for a second, you just hate why you are obviously similar The person, why not you."

Hearing Su Hui's analysis, the expression on Guan Cheng's face changed slightly, he clenched his teeth, and his muscles tensed accordingly.

He sneered, "He showed off his future in front of me and gave me alms that I didn't need at all. He thought he would make a fortune from tonight's meeting. How could it be so simple. On the contrary, I can let me do whatever I want. He completely disappeared in this world, even if I had nothing at that time."

"You are also a waste. I can lock you up with a flick of my finger. So far, I have never regretted everything I have done. From a desperate bottom person to this position, my life is early. It's complete. To be honest, the only regrets are two things. Feng Zhiguo is useless, he can't even kill people, and he dare not do it the second time. If he hit Qin Yue's son to death in one breath, It’s not that much of a mess.”

As he said that, Guan Cheng curled the corner of his mouth, completely revealing his evil side, "And you. Yes, I admit that I underestimated the enemy. I thought that a spoiled and mentally ill young master like you, never It's been two days since I was thrown out of the greenhouse. You can't survive without me. After all, when you stayed at Ji's house, you didn't live for a few days. You always tried to die. How could you be thrown out instead? I know it’s a pity. How did you survive? Begging with your face? Or sell yourself.”

Su Hui didn't feel his humiliation at all, and even found out that the psychological quality of this heinous person was nothing more than that. The more he wanted to humiliate himself, the more he proved his guilt.

Otherwise there is no need at all, not even a dialogue with him.

"Do you really think that you lost everything because of us?"

Su Hui smiled, "It seems that the more you climb these years, the more blind and greedy you become. You think you can cover the sky with one hand, but in fact, no matter how high you climb, you are just a clown. The more audiences appreciate your ugliness, the more people you will offend, and we are not the only ones who want to get rid of you."

"Guan Cheng, your life is borrowed, it's a debt you owe Ning Yixiao's mother and the real Xu Zhi."

Su Hui's face was calm, and he looked directly at Guan Cheng with a slight smile in his eyes, "You seem to have obtained all the glory and wealth, but you have to pay them back in the end. You have worked hard, but you still have nothing to have. Of course , A bad life like yours is actually not enough to pay back. I also know that you don’t care about anything, and you won’t really regret it. But it doesn’t matter. I heard that no matter how vicious a death row prisoner is, at the moment of death, , will be terribly afraid, this is the weakness of human nature."

"Enjoy the moment."

Su Hui smiled and pointed to the sky, "All the people you have harmed are staring at you."

After saying this, he put down the receiver.The moment she got up to leave, Su Hui finally overcame her inner fear.

In fact, he is not so afraid of "Xu Zhi", nor is he so afraid of facing the truth. Compared with all these, what he really cannot accept is that everything he lost will never come back.

But at this moment, Su Hui understood what Ning Yixiao said.

What can't come back is life.

Su Hui stayed in the country for a week, went through many procedures, released Xu Zhi's guardian relationship, and also solved the problem of not being able to return to the country before.

He didn't plan to stay here for too long, because he was still busy with holding a solo exhibition.Even if he really stayed, Su Hui couldn't watch Guan Cheng die with his own eyes. He didn't want to waste any more time on this person who should have gone to hell long ago.

On the last day, he took Ning Yixiao to worship in front of his mother Ji Yanan's mausoleum.

"Mom, I've always wondered whether things would have been different if I had tried my best to separate you from him."

Su Hui's voice was a little choked up, "But I know that none of you will listen to me, and it seems that there is nothing to say. This may be the fate you adults like to talk about, so I don't complain anymore."

"Let's not talk about this." He took Ning Yixiao's hand and said to his mother, "I brought him to see you. Although we went around in the middle, we are still together."

Su Hui turned her head and said with a smile to Ning Yixiao, "Actually, my mother let me go to see you on purpose, I know, she deliberately found a free time to let me slip away, otherwise I wouldn't be able to return to our house that day .”

Ning Yixiao just listened, speechless.

Facing such a deformed and oppressive family, the only one Ning Yixiao can empathize with is Su Hui, who is oppressed to the point of suffocation.

As an outsider, it is difficult for him to understand Su Hui's mother, just as he still does not understand his mother's paranoid love, although he knows that they are all right, it is the oppression of the outside world that caused the tragic ending of their lives.

Su Huixu babbled a lot about recent developments, without beginning or end, and couldn't think of any concluding remarks, so she could only say, "Don't worry, I will treat my illness well and live a good life. I am fine and free now."

Driving away from the cemetery and on the way to the airport, Su Hui suddenly received a call. The other party claimed to be a lawyer entrusted by Ji Yanan to ask Su Hui to meet, so they had to change their route to attend the appointment.

The place where the other party made an appointment was very private. After meeting, Su Hui greeted her in a friendly manner, "Hi, may I ask your surname?"

"My surname is Chen, and I am your mother's attorney."

Lawyer Chen looked resolute, took out the document and handed it to Su Hui, "This is the will signed by your mother, Ms. Due to your health problems, it is quite special, so the condition of the will she set up specifically requires the guardian, which clearly mentions that when your guardian is only your grandmother or there is no guardian, the will will take effect , and now you have met these conditions."

Su Hui flipped through the documents one by one, and looked up at Ning Yixiao.

Ning Yixiao asked, "When was this will signed?"

"Five years ago, to be more specific, it was three months before Ms. Ji passed away."

Lawyer Chen pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, "Actually, at that time, Ms. Ji wanted to bring you back from abroad, and she had a very strong will. For this reason, she had many quarrels with her then husband, but due to many reasons, she did not implement it. Success. But because of those quarrels, she also wanted to add an extra level of protection for your future, so she made a new distribution of her property."

Ning Yixiao frowned.

The division of property may be Ji Yanan's real reminder.

Su Hui's vision was a little blurred, he lowered his head, looked at what his mother had left behind for him, and couldn't say a word.

It wasn't until this moment that he realized that he was not a child no one wanted, and someone had tried his best to fight for him.Although everything was too late, in the end, my mother was still thinking about his future and worked hard to plan for him.He could almost imagine how long his mother had thought hard when she made this will, and how long she had to revise it for one condition. These are her loves that she never said.

"Thank you, Lawyer Chen."

"You're welcome, this is what I should do."

During the long flight, Su Hui had a long dream, which was very close to reality. In the dream, his father had not passed away, he and his mother lived in love, and he was approved by his grandfather. Sickness is an ordinary child, and there is no need to come and go in the psychiatric department all year round. Those trivial details in life are as trivial and ordinary as if they actually happened.

And he also met Ning Yixiao on one of the most ordinary days, not the coffee shop where he stayed before his suicide attempt, nor the audio-visual room after he was late, but in the school library, they sat opposite each other and stayed for a while gaze.

When he opened his eyes and landed in New York, Su Hui still couldn't tell the difference between dreams and reality. Everything seemed to be fogged by his inner desire.

The lights of the airport blurred the silhouettes of everyone at the pick-up gate. He seemed to see his mother and his once hated grandfather, but in the next second, they all turned into strange figures and disappeared into the crowd.

Only the hand that Ning Yixiao held him was real.

"We go home."

To his surprise, when he walked out of the exit, he heard someone calling his name. Looking around, he saw Jingming, who was dressed as always, not only him, but also Bella and Chloe. It was rare for them to gather together early in the morning. Come to the airport.

Su Hui's eyes were full of astonishment, "You..."

"We're here to pick you up!" With a warm smile on her face, Bella grabbed Su Hui's arm and shook it, "How is it? Isn't it a surprise?"

"You must have been exhausted during this time, it's enough to torment people." Jing Ming grabbed Ning Yixiao's shoulders, "Let's go, my buddies will take the two of you to have fun and have some fun."

Chloe expressed doubts, "Are you sure they still have energy to spend?"

"Then why don't we find some hot spring club? How about it, it's enough to relax."

"Don't come up with bad ideas, why don't you say go skiing?"

"It's been a few months and I'm still skiing, let's form a game and go together in winter!"

Listening to their noisy voices, Su Hui suddenly felt that her body, which had been stiff for many days, had been infused with vitality, and finally it was not so cold.He looked up at Ning Yixiao, and Ning Yixiao happened to be looking at him too, and they smiled at each other.

"You guys are so noisy." Ning Yixiao said deliberately.

Jing Ming clicked his tongue, "Hey, why are you talking, we are so caring!"

Su Hui also laughed, but soon, he heard Ning Yixiao's cell phone ringing, so he took his hand, "Your phone is ringing."

Ning Yixiao nodded, saw that it was an unfamiliar number, but still connected, "Hello."

"I'm Feng Cheng."

Hearing Feng Cheng's voice, Ning Yixiao relaxed a little, "How is it? Is there anything else I can help with?"

"I... have one more small request."

"You said."

Unexpectedly, Feng Cheng started to stammer again, "I, I want to see Su Hui...is that okay?"

The author has something to say:

In fact, this plot has been foreshadowed for a long time, and then I read the comments yesterday and found that everyone guessed it hhh, everyone is really smart and very powerful, and I also like watching everyone guess the plot.Because I don’t want to disturb the rhythm, if the writing is too slow and broken, the reading experience will be poor, so the second update, and the ending of Guan Cheng is actually not a relief, I also know, but we are now a society ruled by law, and scum like this The final return is the judgment of the law, the light of the righteous way (

In fact, there were many impostor incidents like this in the early days, and many victims did not receive due compensation in the end. The nature may not be as bad as that written in the novel, but it actually tampered with other people's lives.Therefore, the ending in the novel is actually more idealistic. I really hope that in reality, every criminal who breaks the law and discipline can be punished by law.
