"When I receive the money, I’ll share half of it with you."
"That’s right, show some good fortune." Sun Liang sidled up, fawningly, "Get Officer Li to look for me again, this is certainly connected to you, right?"
"Clever of you!"
Zhao Yi said with satisfaction, "Whether there will be a next time or not, I’ll see how it goes." ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
The Mathematical Olympiad competition was approaching.
Zhao Yi and Sun Liang spent a lot of their time solving Mathematical Olympiad problems. They didn’t have any special Olympiad training and could only improve by practicing. Seeing more problem types and understanding more problem-solving strategies was definitely going to help in the competition.
Niu Lianhua took it even more seriously than they did. She didn’t only supervise their problem-solving activities, she also paid attention to the types of problems they had worked on and found new ones for them to tackle.
At noon, she would especially come over to urge them to solve as many problems as possible.
Zhao Yi was not there.
At noon, Zhao Yi took a taxi to Phoenix Bay Park in the city center. After meeting with his parents at the roadside, they went together to view some apartments near the park.
Liu Jing and Zhao Zhenxi had found two apartments they liked but couldn’t decide which one to buy. They let Zhao Yi make the decision.
Zhao Yi went to see the first one, a residential building on the eleventh floor. It was 170 square meters with three rooms and two living rooms. Its size was substantial, but the decoration was quite mediocre.
He wasn’t very satisfied.
Then they went to see the second one.
As they arrived at the gate of the community, Zhao Yi was a little surprised, "The community where Lin Xiaoqing lives?"
But then it made sense.
There were only a few communities near Phoenix Bay Park in the city center. The new commercial residential buildings were all small apartments. Either that or old, rundown communities. The number of communities that had large apartments or villa-style buildings did not exceed three.
Zhao Yi followed the real estate agent, and on their way, they ran into someone familiar.
Lin Xudong.
Lin Xudong was walking forward on his phone and waved at Zhao Yi from a distance.
"Uncle Lin, not at work?" Zhao Yi greeted him.
Lin Xudong walked over in surprise. He had only met Liu Jing and Zhao Zhenxi but had never really spoken to them. As his student’s parents, he ought to say a word or two.
They made small talk.
Lin Xudong had a rare day off. His work was complete, and he had gone home for lunch, but his phone was still ringing non-stop. Hearing Zhao Yi was apartment hunting, he offered to help, having no rush to leave.
The apartment they were viewing was a villa-style building in the front row, three floors with four units per floor.
Each unit was a duplex.
The layout was the same as Lin Xiaoqing’s home.
As soon as they walked to the entrance, Lin Xudong recognized the place, "This is the one Wang Enming is selling, right? His factory is expanding, but he can’t raise the funds, so he’s simply selling the apartment."
"This place is quite good, only three years old, and the decoration definitely won’t be a problem."
As Lin Xudong spoke, they went inside.
The interior of the home was similar to that in Lin Xiaoqing’s house, with large scale upper and lower levels. The decoration was indeed like what Lin Xudong said. The place was decorated in a simple and chic style, with a bit of scholarly elegance. But the chosen materials were absolutely exquisite, furniture looked new, and the appliances were all intact.
If purchased as a whole, no additional furniture or appliances would be needed.
Zhao Yi was very satisfied.
He stood by the window overlooking the scenery outside. A smile appeared on his face as he softly discussed with his mother, "It’s great, let’s go with this one!"
"Is this settled?" Liu Jing asked.
Zhao Yi nodded, "Let’s take this one, no need to choose anymore, seeing more of them is useless. I’m quite satisfied with this."
Liu Jing and Zhao Zhenxi were also satisfied, and they went to bargain with the agent.
Lin Xudong came over and said, "By the way, Zhao Yi, your parents were there earlier, so I refrained from talking about this police matter. Whenever you’re free, write a report about the security breach, don’t worry too much about the formatting, focus on the problems and vulnerabilities. Your name has been reported, and the reward money will come soon."
"Don’t worry, you won’t miss out on the money, I’ll keep an eye on it for you."
"Alright, thanks, Uncle Lin."
Zhao Yi was a bit reluctant.
Publishing a new math problem every day was quite interesting. Sun Liang even shared half of the reward money with him after he implanted program codes on the website. Modifying the website wasn’t time-consuming, and he looked forward to posting new problems every day.
Is it all over now?
Lin Xudong found the website affair amusing too, he gave Zhao Yi a thumbs up and said, "You really don’t know how great you have done. Now everyone in the police department from top to bottom knows about ’Eagle’. You’ve really made those people in the logistics department lose face."
"But...."
"Our Criminal Investigation Department is delighted, hahaha!"
Laughing, Lin Xudong looked out the window and suddenly realized that from this angle, he could see his own house. And the window directly opposite was...
Qingqing’s bedroom?
"JFC!!"
Lin Xudong couldn’t help swearing, his eyes widened in shock, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by a cautious gaze at Zhao Yi, but he said nothing for a long time.
"I have something to do, I have to go."
He said, and then he quickly left.
Zhao Yi watched Lin Xudong curiously, completely confused, "Possibly remembered something urgent? Police work is really busy."
He comfortably returned his gaze to the window.
When Lin Xudong rushed home, the first thing he said when he saw Zhao Hongjuan was, "Juan’er, hurry up! Change the curtains in Qingqing’s bedroom! Get the most opaque ones!"
"Let me tell you!"
"That kid Zhao Yi, he even wants to buy Wang Enming’s house." Lin Xudong pointed out the window anxiously, "See that? He’s clearly here for our Qingqing!"
"What’s the rush?"
Zhao Hongjuan was somewhat confused, "I think Zhao Yi is a pretty good boy, excels academically, earns good money, won a million-dollar prize while still in high school. If he really bought a house for Qingqing... That’s quite romantic."
"What’s romantic about that? Qingqing is still young. Didn’t you see the other day what those kids were doing in the living room..."
Lin Xudong suddenly became frantic.
"What happened?"
Lin Xudong bit down hard on his teeth without going further, "Qingqing is still too young to have a boyfriend, I disagree! Hurry up and change those curtains before that kid gets any ideas. Trust me, I know his generation, he’s probably got a telescope ready..."
Zhao Hongjuan dismissed him with a spit, "You! You’re supposed to be a police officer. You’re just paranoid."
Meanwhile,
the people in the police logistics department were going mad.
They found out that the site had been hacked again this morning, Zhou Hongwen blew his top, reporting the situation without trying to cover it up this time.
He scolded Li Jiandong thoroughly.
They thought the problem had been resolved, but it seemed that Li Jiandong was unable to revert the webpage.
What’s happening?
Isn’t Li Jiandong capable of even changing a webpage?
The logistics department was truly losing face!
Zhou Hongwen found out that the issue was caused by a difficult mathematics problem, ’Eagle’ didn’t do anything too outrageous, he just left a loophole for modifying the webpage, which was related to a challenging math problem.
Li Jiandong not only failed to solve it, he also couldn’t find the problem on the internet. Even after shouting out in the chat group, nobody was paying attention.
The people in law enforcement are not known for their mathematical prowess.
Zhou Hongwen berated Li Jiandong again, eventually he called everyone in the logistics department and tried to find connections and solutions to this maths problem together.
The office scene transformed into this --
"Son, can you solve this?"
"Take a look at this problem, it’s important, it’s a task assigned by the higher-ups!"
"Nephew, aren’t you a prodigy from Zhengyang University?"
"Aren’t you still in senior high school? This is just a high school mathematical problem! If others can solve it, why can’t you!"
An hour later.
Zhou Hongwen slapped the notebook, with the problem written on it, on Li Jiandong’s face, "I don’t care how you do it, but you have to solve it today!"
Li Jiandong could only grimace and return to the doorstep of the Thirteenth Middle School.
He squatted by the roadside to wait.
Who knows when, a drizzle started from the sky.
A chilly winds blew.
A yellow-haired youth, walking with his legs spread apart, passed by. He had earphones in his ears and was singing with deep emotion --
"...
The tears just wouldn’t stop,
It started to rain,
All the unhappiness came,
My heart truly got hurt."
