I Can Infinitely Synthesize Transcendent Genes - Chapter 120:
Chapter 120: (110) Ticket for the Nobility (Thanks to elder brother Dou Chuan for the reward support)_1
Return to Origin probably never anticipated that just as he hacked into Pei Jinye’s cell phone, he was immediately counter-hacked.
In less than three seconds, Pei Jinye had pinpointed the real hiding spot of the adversary, located in the residential area of the West Suburb, where there weren’t many surveillance cameras.
But the “experienced in a hundred battles” Pei Jinye instantly saw the cleverness of their opponent’s hiding spot.
It could be said that Return to Origin really did find an excellent position that was easy to defend but hard to attack!
It would be difficult for the outside world to determine their whereabouts through electronic surveillance, unless they had the same strong capabilities as Pei Jinye, who used the opponent’s link to counter-infiltrate and locate them directly; otherwise, it was impossible to determine the opponent’s actual location.
On the contrary, rashly entering this complex area of self-constructed houses in the alleys would easily reveal one’s presence to the enemy.
“The thief has some skill, but unfortunately, he’s still too green.”
Pei Jinye’s gaze was deep as a young man’s figure “appeared in his vision,” a boy under 20 years old wearing a hoodie with long hair, with the unmistakable traits of a homebody.
“This guy… is he truly unafraid of death, or is it…”
Pei Jinye’s eyes flickered.
The abilities of Heavenly Calculation could be said to be one in ten thousand, otherwise, Black Shark wouldn’t value him so highly.
Add to that his extremely rich combat experience with the Federation, he was certainly not at a level that the young fellow could match.
Starting an organization that wanted to be independent of the Federation right under Xing Tian’s nose, and even presumptuously claiming to be righteous… How delusional does one have to be to dare do such a thing?
And it seemed that Miss Sun was also involved.
Pei Jinye suddenly furrowed his brows.
He was unsure whether Sun Ruofan had caught the Federation’s attention.
If she had been noticed… then his own repeated searches would inevitably attract the attention of certain individuals.
Pei Jinye narrowed his eyes and remained silent.
He began a swift examination.
Inside the secret room.
Return to Origin scratched his head in confusion.
The avatar in the chat room flickered briefly.
[Silver Gradual Layer] messaged: “How’s it going?”
Return to Origin sighed and typed: “Is he asleep or what? He hasn’t replied to my message.”
[Silver Gradual Layer]: “…”
Return to Origin switched back to the page with the secret path he had constructed, which still showed no signs of being clicked. He couldn’t help but express his frustration as he switched back to the chat page: “Shall we try again tomorrow?”
[Silver Gradual Layer]: “I already told you to not dawdle!”
It was just text, but Return to Origin could already feel the fury of this elder sister figure and shrank his neck involuntarily: “I’m just being cautious. So, what now? He hasn’t seen it, and the link can only stay online for a maximum of three minutes.”
[Silver Gradual Layer]: “Wait a bit longer. If he doesn’t show up, we’ll send it again tomorrow, and earlier!!!”
Return to Origin had a gloomy face.
All the hard work was his, and so were the scoldings…
Pei Jinye breathed a sigh of relief.
The so-called Long-term Association hadn’t attracted the attention of Xing Tian yet.
But one could understand why.
A tiny organization with only three members, lacking even the power to threaten social security, what boldness could they have to catch the attention of Xing Tian.
Within those three minutes, Return to Origin was dozing off waiting for Pei Jinye’s contact, unaware that he and his companion’s background had already been thoroughly investigated by Pei Jinye.
The Long-term Association had three founding members and currently preserved three members.
Sun Ruofan was in charge of providing funds, with members codenamed Return to Origin and Silver Gradual Layer, the former responsible for network security, the latter for maintaining muscle power.
After browsing through the Long-term Association logs, Pei Jinye learned that these seemingly unreliable three had indeed done quite a few good deeds; wherever there was a fire or other such incidents, they were always the first to contact the Night Patrol Department…
In the past year alone, they had collected evidence against seven corrupt officials.
Unfortunately, no matter how much they had done, to Pei Jinye, it was nothing different from playing house.
If it weren’t for the information this hacker named Return to Origin had collected, he would have probably left by now.
Return to Origin had recently gathered intel involving the Night Patrol Department.
One line in particular caught his attention.
[Chang Wansen… newly-appointed chief instructor of the Night Patrol Department… questionable, to be investigated!]
“Teacher Chang?”
There wasn’t much information about Teacher Chang.
The only thing mentioned was that Teacher Chang seemed to have made a mistake when he retired from the Night Patrol Department.
As for what mistake, that remained unmentioned.
“This Return to Origin is quite intriguing.”
Pei Jinye quietly logged out.
As for the melodramatic text on the phone, he didn’t take it to heart, and it soon disappeared automatically.
The night flowed like water, slowly streaming over Da Peng City.
A quiet night passed.
The next morning came early.
The patter of the rain disrupted Pei Jinye’s plan to run in the morning, but it did not hinder his fitness routine as he did a handstand with his fingers touching the ground.
“Wow!”
Just up to use the bathroom, Father Pei was quite startled by the sight.
Pei Jinye, wearing a tank top, exhibited perfect muscle definition.
Looking on, Father Pei envied him.
Not long after.
Mother Pei started making breakfast, and Pei Jinye had finished his shower and was sitting on the living room sofa.
“How’s the renovation at the new house going?”
“It’s just begun. Your mom and I are planning to go have a look this afternoon. Do you want to come?” Father Pei asked while peeling an egg, looking up.
“I might not have time,” Pei Jinye shook his head while peeling an egg, “I might have to go out soon.”
The three-day deadline given by Mr. Han had arrived. As for how things would be arranged, he was also unsure.
Upon hearing this, Father Pei nodded and said no more.
After breakfast,
Pei Jinye happened to receive a phone call from Governor Zhou Weiren himself.
Father Pei noticed the caller ID and felt somewhat puzzled.
“Uncle Zhou? Since when did Jinye have another uncle that I don’t know about?”
He looked at Pei Jinye with suspicion as Jinye got up to answer the phone on the balcony.
Then he saw Pei Jinye turn to go to the bedroom and pack two changes of clothes into a sports bag.
“You’re leaving now?” Father Pei asked in astonishment, “Do you want me to drive you later?”
“No need, Uncle Zhou has arranged for someone to pick me up. He said they’ll be here soon.”
“Uncle Zhou?” Father Pei asked instinctively, “Which Uncle Zhou?”
Pei Jinye suddenly pointed at the man on the TV and said, “That’s him.”
Father Pei turned his head to look.
Next moment,
incredulously, he said, “You mean Governor Zhou?”
“Yes, him.” Pei Jinye, with his bags on his back, said with a smile, “Then, I’ll be on my way. They said it’s a training camp, and I’m not sure when I’ll be back. I’ll send you messages when I have time. If you encounter any issues, don’t try to handle it alone. Go find Sun San, I’ve told him about it; he knows what to do.”
After making sure his parents were listening, Pei Jinye closed the door and headed downstairs.
Father Pei slowly closed his gaping mouth and said with a weird expression, “How come this kid’s backing is getting more high-end?”
He turned his head towards his wife, “Am I dreaming?”
Mother Pei, who was cleaning up the table, glanced over, “Should I slap you to test it?”
Father Pei chuckled dryly, sat up straight, and watched the morning news on the TV with seriousness.
“Mr. Pei.”
Downstairs,
Secretary Lin from the city hall, sent by Governor Zhou Weiren, came to pick him up personally and reached out to take Pei Jinye’s bag.
Pei Jinye smiled, “Little guy, I can carry it myself.”
Secretary Lin wore rimless glasses and had short hair; she looked very capable. Probably because she was often with Governor Zhou, she naturally exuded an extraordinary aura, which made it clear to anyone she was no ordinary person.
“Mr. Pei, please,” Secretary Lin said, opening the car door for Pei Jinye with a smile, “The Governor has already instructed me to take you to the city hall first. He will be in touch with you directly for the matters that follow.”
“Thank you.”
“Mr. Pei, you’re too courteous.”
Once in the car,
Secretary Lin sat in the front passenger seat, leaving the entire backseat for Pei Jinye alone. The driver quietly and expertly drove away without engaging the hover mode.
Securing her seatbelt, Secretary Lin turned back and with a smile began to explain the construction projects and accompanying facilities along the road, all the brainchildren of Governor Zhou.
The overall implication was that Governor Zhou Weiren was truly someone who wanted to do concrete work for the city.
Passing the Sky God International building, Secretary Lin glanced quickly and said nothing, nor did she introduce it to Pei Jinye, instead cheerfully changing the topic, “I heard that Mr. Pei’s parents work in contracting. Have they registered for the annual incentive plan?”
“What’s that?”
Upon hearing this, Secretary Lin realized they hadn’t participated and enlightened him about it. It was a support initiative from the city hall to boost industries that benefit the public, offering a one-million entrepreneurship fund per household, with only twenty spots available each year.
Pei Jinye also understood what she implied.
He could be almost certain, as long as he wished it, this money would inevitably be theirs.
They naturally met the procedural requirements.
Secretary Lin could easily allocate a spot, and no one would offend her for it.
As for the unfortunate one to lose out on this opportunity, that was a matter for the other families to contend with.
In Da Peng City, Governor Zhou was the supreme ruler, akin to an emperor. This might sound exaggerated, but in reality, the difference was minimal.
“Secretary Lin, let’s exchange contact information, shall we?”
Upon hearing this, Secretary Lin’s smile immediately beamed even brighter, “I’ll add you.”
Although Pei Jinye was just a high school student,
how many high school students in the world could receive special regard from Mr. Han?
Not to mention other cities,
but solely amongst this year’s candidates from Da Peng City, aside from Pei Jinye, who else was directly named by Mr. Han to be taken under his wing?
If Governor Zhou was the emperor of Da Peng City,
then a single word from Mr. Han could leave Governor Zhou with nothing.
Secretary Lin did not doubt Mr. Han’s capabilities at all.
He only thought, if even his direct superior, Governor Zhou, wanted to establish a good relationship with the promising young Pei Jinye, then what harm was there in him doing a favor?
In his line of work, bowing and scraping were hardly difficult tasks.
After they exchanged personal contact information,
Secretary Lin’s smile became notably more genuine than before.
The relationship between the two also clearly warmed up.
Arriving at the city hall,
Secretary Lin personally escorted Pei Jinye into the building.
Along the way, various figures seeing Secretary Lin, would nod and greet, “Secretary Lin.”
Secretary Lin responded with reserved nods, without saying much.
Only when they encountered senior officials from the city hall would she stop to chat a bit longer, but she didn’t dare delay either. She seemed completely oblivious to the curious gazes others cast on Pei Jinye.
After leaving the main hall and entering the corridor leading to the Governor’s floor,
Secretary Lin explained in a low voice, “Your identity has been sealed. Currently, less than five people in the city are aware of you, and Mr. Han has already made everyone sign a confidentiality agreement… The Governor will meet you alone this time, so I won’t go in.”
Pei Jinye nodded.
As the red double doors were pushed open, the light and warm air poured out.
The faint scent of luxury also spread, indicating its high value from the mere smell.
Pei Jinye took a deep breath.
Old Zhou sure knows how to enjoy life…
