This time, the project team led by Jiang Chen was begun in the name of developing the military use of the Changjiang Image Processing system. But in fact, most of the system had already been developed by Jiang Chen, and he did not need the help of others at all.
However, as a high school student who had never been in contact with military projects before, it would only lead to suspicion if he presented the results so rashly, not to mention that it was a matter of national security. So from the very beginning, what Jiang Chen brought out was just the normal version of the image processing system. Later, the project team he gathered was more to deceive people. In truth, he was able to control the entire progress of the project.
The time limit for this project was two years and Jiang Chen planned to use the high-precision machinery and computer equipment of the research institute to complete the development of the Changjiang defense system, and at the same time find the flaw in He Qianjianâs system and then attack it directly to destroy it in one fell swoop.
The signal tracking and positioning catcher handed over to He Qianmin at this time was the result of Jiang Chenâs half a year of efforts in Li De and then in the research institute. Although it was called a signal catcher, it had a very wide range of applications. It could not only catch signals, but also had the function of distinguishing and identifying signals and was an indispensable part of the Changjiang defense system. The iron box left during the renovation of the house in Wugu Village was exactly used to store the upgraded version of this signal catcher.
After the version upgrade was successful, this signal catcher would be used as an accessory of the Changjiang Defense System. In addition to capturing and distinguishing signals, it also had a scanning function, which could effectively protect everyone who entered the house with high-tech equipment. And the signal catcher Jiang Chen gave He Qianmin was not only able to capture ordinary signals, all kinds of energy fluctuations could be recorded by it, and could mark the location under remote control.
Although he was only responsible for the development of the software, and the hardware equipment was all provided by researchers in Li Des laboratory, he had tested several times and found that the signal capture device could accurately capture the frequency or data code he specified. He had entered the system code captured by Changjiang previously in the device, and after it was placed in the He familyâs house, it would only capture the data of He Qianjianâs system, and then directly transmit it to Jiang Chenâs computer.
In the last few times Jiang Chen saw He Qianjian, he didnât hear him talking to the system. Based on Changjiangâs statement that the system was building a channel, it may be that the system was trying to save energy or had no time to maintain the connection with He Qianjian. The frequency had been reduced a lot, and this was the best time to collect the systemâs data.
Back home, Yang Si asked with concern: âDid you send that little boy back?â
âYeah.â Jiang Chen was still thinking about the signal catcher, and answered with an absentminded expression.
âWhat did his family say? Did you go to find the person who injured him?â
âYeah.â
Recalling that Jiang Chen had been gone for a long time, Yang Si asked curiously, âYou went with him? Who was it? Is he a child from the village?â
âHe Qianjian.â Jiang Chen blurted out, and then suddenly paused, looking up at Yang Si.
Yang Si felt the name sounded familiar, and was thinking about where she heard it before, and didnât notice Jiang Chenâs strangeness. Just at this moment, Jiang Zhuo came out of the kitchen with the last dish, and seeing Jiang Chen was back, he said loudly, âYouâre back? Itâs time for lunch!â
Yang Si was still thinking about when she had heard this name before, sitting on the sofa without moving, while Jiang Chen was annoyed that he had let his tongue slip inadvertently. It would not be a good thing for Yang Si to know the existence of He Qianjian at this time. However, the words have already been spoken, and it was not possible to take back.
Seeing his son and wife not moving for a while, Jiang Zhuo put the dish down and walked towards the living room: âWhat are you two thinking about? Itâs time to eat.â
âI was thinking of the name He Qianjian.â Yang Si was helped up by Jiang Zhuo, still frowning in thought, she murmured, âWhere did I hear that name beforeâŠ..â
âHe Qianjian?â Jiang Zhuo thought for a while, and then said, âIsnât he Qian Minâs elder brother? Itâs CEO Heâs eldest son. Didnât you mention it this morning?â
Yang Si suddenly realized, âThatâs right, I just said why the name was so familiar, it turned out to be Qian Minâs brother.â
âWhat are you thinking about him for?â Jiang Zhuo helped Yang Si sit down at the dining table, served her a bowl of soup, and said casually: âWe moved here, CEO He and his family are also here, and we will definitely meet in time. If you are curious about what his eldest son looks like, you can also visit their house.â
At this time Jiang Chen also walked to the dining table, and he couldnât help but stop and look at Yang Si.
Yang Si frowned, stirred the soup with a spoon, shook her head and said, âForget it, our family does not walk the same path as they do.â
âWhy do you say that?â Jiang Zhuo teased: âWhen they came over in the morning, you and Xiao Yang had a good chat. Didnât you both say that your surname was both Yang, and must have been a family hundreds of years ago?â
âWhat are you talking about?â Yang Si rolled her eyes at him: âArenât I just being polite? They are the boss and the bossâs wife of the Tunan Group. What kind of conversation can I have with her? Everytime our conversation revolves around Chen Chen. I donât think itâs a big deal, but itâs one thing for our son to be outstanding, but itâs not decent to always show off in front of others, so I can only find something else to talk about.â
âI thought you two had become friends.â Jiang Zhuo sat down, and didnât take this matter seriously. He picked up a chopstick of food and said, âIf you donât want to go, donât go.â
âSay, how can those in the same family be so different?â
Jiang Zhuo paused. He didnât hear the conversation between Jiang Chen and Yang Si just now so when he heard Yang Siâs question so suddenly, he couldnât figure out who she was talking about. He hesitated: âHoney, what are you talking about?â
âI mean He Qianjian.â Yang Si put down the spoon, frowned and said, âQian Min is a good boy, and although I said I donât have much in common with Mrs. He, but after a few times of contact, I can see what kind of person she is and she shouldnât be too bad at educating children, so why it that He Qianjian became like that.â
Jiang Zhuo was confused. He looked at Jiang Chen, and saw that he was eating with his head down, as if he didnât hear Yang Siâs words at all, so he could only ask again: âHoney, whatâs wrong with He Qianjian?â
âHe Qianjian was the one who hit the child in the morning.â Yang Si said: âDidnât you hear what we said just now?â
âI was cooking, honey.â Jiang Zhuo finished explaining dumbfoundedly, and also felt surprised: âWas it really him?â
âChen Chen said so.â Yang Si said: âMy son followed that child to find him just now, and it was He Qianjian.â Thinking of the scene she saw in the morning, Yang Si slightly pursed her lips. For the first time in her life, she wanted to interfere with her sonâs social life. She actually wished he had less contact with He Qianjian and even the He family.
âWhy did he do that?â Jiang Zhuo looked at Jiang Chen and asked.
Jiang Chen had no choice but to say, âHe Qianjian said he didnât pay attention.â
âHow is it that he didnât pay attention?â Yang Siâs voice was infused with anger: âI could see clearly at that time, he was holding a bowl, and the stone-like frozen sticky bean buns were thrown at the child one by one, and even aimed to hit the face, laughing all the while, itâs just simplyâŠ..â
âHow could this be?â Jiang Zhuo was a little dubious: âThe child is about the same age as Chen Chen, and wouldnât do such a thing. No matter how ignorant a child of his age is, he should know not to bully such a young child.â
âWhy couldnât it happen?â Yang Si said: âI saw it clearly, are you saying my eyes saw wrong?â
Knowing that his wifeâs temper fluctuated during pregnancy, Jiang Zhuo quickly appeased her: âI just think he is already this old and he has no reason to bully a child, but since you have seen it, he must have been bullying the child. What a waste of having lived so long.â
âChen Chen.â Yang Si turned her head and looked at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen raised his eyes, âMom, whatâs wrong?â
âIn the futureâŠ..â Yang Si pursed her lips, and she couldnât utter the words on the tip of her tongue in the end. When her son was young, she never stopped him from playing with anyone. Now that he was an adult, she was controlling his social circle. No matter what her son thought, she herself felt that she should not do this.
However, Yang Si couldnât help worrying when she recalled He Qianjian smashed the frozen sticky bean buns at Xu Xiâs face with a malicious and happy smile. As the saying went, a good habit was hard to form, but a bad habit could be formed in a day. The influence of friends with good qualities may take a long time to exert a subtle influence, but the influence of friends with bad conduct may only need to take a short time to be exerted.
Even though Jiang Chen was eighteen years old, no matter how sensible and outstanding he appeared to outsiders, in her eyes he was still the child who pouted while holding back tears and needed his mother to protect him.
âMom doesnât mean to stop you from making friends.â Yang Si made up her mind, and thinking over her words she said, âBut Mom still wants to give you a reminder. Most bullies lack kindness, and it is difficult for them to be sincere to friends. Long-term friendship with them might lead to one getting hurt.â
Jiang Chen was slow to react for the first time. After a few seconds, he blinked: âMom, are you talking about He Qianjian?â
Yang Si nodded solemnly, and decided to be straightforward: âChen Chen, Mom thinks that He Qianjianâs character is not very good, itâs better for you to have less contact with him in the future.â
âIâŠ..â The corners of Jiang Chenâs mouth twitched. If it was someone else, he might have agreed right away, but He Qianjian was still his parentsâ biological son no matter what. They just said that without knowing the situation now. If they knew in the future, their attitude might change.
Seeing that Jiang Chen didnât answer, Yang Si pursed her lips slightly, and Jiang Zhuo quickly winked at Jiang Chen, signaling him to agree. Jiang Zhuo let out a low cough and said, âI think your mother is right. Although you are this big already, and we shouldnât control what kind of friends you make, this kind of behavior is clearly problematic and itâs better to have less contact.â
Jiang Chenâs eyes flickered slightly. He picked up a chopstick of vegetables and placed it in his bowl but didnât eat it. He asked, âWhat if he has a special status?â
âSpecial in what way?â Jiang Zhuo paused for a moment, and suddenly said: âThis has nothing to do with Qian Min, even the nine sons of the dragon god are all different. How can we confuse the two of them? Your mother and I are not unreasonable. You or Qian Min, itâs better to have less contact with He Qianjian.â
âYou donât like him very much?â Jiang Chen raised his eyes and asked.
âOf course I donât like him!â Jiang Zhuo glanced at Yang Si, and immediately expressed his position: âDonât say your mother doesnât like him, even if your mother likes him, I wouldnât like him.â
Yang Si was so amused by him that she couldnât hold onto her serious expression. She laughed, but after laughing, she still said: âChen Chen, Mom and Dad arenât completely preventing you from interacting with him, but just giving you advice based on our experience in judging people. Whether you listen to the advice or not is up to you.â
The cold wind infiltrated through the open door and blew past the dining table, but ended up being warmed by the heat in the room. Under two pairs of concerned and focused eyes, Jiang Chenâs own eyes were filled with smiles: âI donât like him either, donât worry, I have nothing to do with him, and I will try to avoid contact with him in the future.â
