Chapter 611
Only when he heard that Second Uncle had changed the subject did Ji Feng quietly let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that Second Uncle had uncovered the matter of his abuse of power, which meant that he would not blame himself anymore.
In fact, of the three, father, second uncle and youngest uncle, Ji Feng still liked discussing business matters with second uncle the most.
For his father, Ji Feng was more of a childish admirer and tended to treat him mostly as just a father, an elder. In Ji Feng’s view, his father was above him, and whether he beat and scolded him or not, whether what he said was right or not, Ji Feng would firmly listen to him.
If his father’s words were wrong, Ji Feng knew it clearly in his heart, but his mouth would not refute it.
This resulted in the fact that Ji Feng would not debate with his father, no matter what the matter was, he would not contradict him.
However, between any two people in this world, the views on a certain thing are definitely not exactly the same. This also means that Ji Feng is obedient to his father and admires him, but he cannot discuss things, let alone debate as if he were a friend, let alone argue like a like-minded comrade, arguing over a certain issue.
And for the youngest uncle, Ji Feng is still more like a friend to see him, the youngest uncle is the youngest, and his character is also the most jumpy, in this point is more or less similar to the second brother Ji Shaolei …… strictly speaking, it should be the second brother and the youngest uncle’s character is somewhat similar!
To use a somewhat irreverent phrase, the younger uncle is like a big kid, with Ji Feng, the next generation of people between, there is almost no generation gap. Of course, if it seemed to Ji Xiaoyu, it would be much different; in her eyes, Ji Zhenping could be a completely strict father.
But the problem was that there were a lot of things that one could not say to one’s friends.
When Ji Feng treated his younger uncle Ji Zhenping as a friend, there were many things that he could not discuss with him, and besides, his position and his personality made Ji Feng rarely talk to him about business matters.
In comparison, the only person that Ji Feng can talk to is his second uncle, Ji Zhenguo.
The second uncle has the calmness of the eldest, Ji Zhen Guo, and does not lack the jumpy personality of the younger uncle, Ji Zhen Ping, but the years of experience in the officialdom have allowed the second uncle to hide the impetuous side of his personality.
In fact, from the character of the second brother Ji Shaolei can be seen, as the saying goes, there is a father like his son, the second uncle actually also has a jumpy character.
Therefore, many times Ji Feng felt that not only was it easy to communicate with Second Uncle, but he could also learn a lot, which was completely different from the communication with his father or with Younger Uncle.
Faintly shaking his head and throwing all the cluttered thoughts in his mind out of his head, Ji Feng carefully deliberated for a moment before speaking, “Second uncle, what I am going to say is still about the dynasty.”
Ji Zhenguo frowned slightly and said, “Didn’t I tell you not to bother with the dynasty’s affairs for now? Have you confronted the dynasty again?”
“Not against it either, but, by coincidence, I just ran into it!”
Ji Feng shook his head and laughed, “It’s like this, it’s that thing I went to Chief Zheng to do earlier, from among that cyber extortion gang, I bailed out a person ……”
He quickly told the story of how Yang Dezhao begged for his help and then how he inadvertently helped deal with the orphanage’s troubles.
“So that’s how it is, in that case, it’s because you had a love of talent, so that’s why you bailed the person out?!” Ji Zhenguo asked.
Ji Feng nodded slightly and said, “Yes.”
“Even so, what you did was still wrong!” Ji Zhenguo’s face sank, “There are many talented people, if everyone is bullying and unbridled by virtue of a bit of talent, not taking the law into consideration in the slightest, then wouldn’t the world be in chaos?!”
Ji Feng hurriedly nodded and said, “Yes, Second Uncle, I know I’m wrong!”
“All right, let’s talk about this matter later!” Ji Zhenguo waved his hand and asked, “Tell me, how is the dynasty involved in the middle of this again?”
“It’s like this, Wang Xin didn’t exactly participate in that cyber extortion gang out of the need to protect herself and the orphanage, instead she only met up with them on the internet and acted together, then when she shared the money she also transferred it through the internet and never showed her face at all.” Ji Feng gave a general account of what happened, “Yet she was still a bit uneasy about that gang, so she left her hand open and opened a back door in the other party’s firewall to listen in on them!”
“Well!” Ji Zhenguo nodded noncommittally, gesturing for Ji Feng to continue.
“However, after she opened the back door, she didn’t find much of value, however, once she overheard a person on the phone, during which Dynasty was mentioned!” Ji Feng said.
He instantly reacted and immediately asked, “Do you mean that the so-called cyber extortion gang was actually organized by Dynasty? Or, that gang itself is affiliated with the dynasty?”
“It’s the former!” Ji Feng said, “It was organised by someone from the Dynasty!”
“What is their purpose?!” Ji Zhenguo asked the key point in one sentence. Now that they knew that group of people was organized by the dynasty, what was their purpose? That was the most important thing.
Ji Feng couldn’t help but hesitate a little, he was hesitating, should he tell his second uncle about his and Wang Xin’s guesses?
Intelligent programs!
This was only Ji Feng and Wang Xin’s speculation, they didn’t have the slightest proof at all, and they didn’t dare to guarantee that their speculation was correct. If they told Second Uncle just like that, whether he would believe it or not was not to be said first, and if once he believed it, then the actions he would take would definitely affect many people!
“What, there are difficulties?!” Ji Zhenguo saw Ji Feng’s hesitant look and couldn’t help but ask.
“That’s not true, it’s just that ……”
Ji Feng hesitated for a moment, but still said, “Second Uncle, based on the analysis of what we have overheard, that so-called cyber extortion group, its purpose is not just to extort a sum of money, but it is looking for something!”
“Oh?!”
Ji Zhenguo immediately asked, “Do you know what they are looking for?”
Ji Feng shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly, “I don’t know, but according to my analysis and Wang Xin’s, what the other party is looking for is most likely a …… piece of intelligent program!”
“What?!” The usually steady and unmoving Ji Zhenguo could not help but reveal a shocked look at this time, “What they are looking for is a piece of intelligent program? Little Feng, tell me carefully, what kind of intelligent program is this!”
Ji Feng gestured with his hand and said, “I’m not too sure, this is just a guess, but if what they’re looking for is really an intelligent program, then it should be similar to those artificial intelligences in movies, an intelligent being with its own consciousness, life, or even its own instinctive behavior!”
“How is this possible!” Ji Zhenguo couldn’t help but ask in astonishment, “Does such a thing really exist in the world?”
Ji Feng shook his head slightly and said, “I can’t be sure, but at least, my speculation and Wang Xin’s are the same, moreover, I’ve already had people start looking for it, hoping to find it before the dynasty does. If it’s not an intelligent program that’s naturally good, but if it is, it must not fall into the hands of the dynasty, no, I should say it must not fall into the hands of anyone ……”
Ji Feng believed that any person’s ambition would be unstoppably inflated after obtaining a piece of self-aware intelligent program!
Just like himself, after getting the intelligent brain, didn’t he also have a certain amount of ambition?
Ji Zhenguo didn’t say anything, he seemed to be digesting this information provided by Ji Feng, the appearance of a piece of artificial intelligence was indeed an incomparable shock to Ji Zhenguo, he knew very well, if this was true, what kind of waves it would set off!
“Little Feng, what you said tonight, you can’t say this to anyone, remember?” Ji Zhenguo took a deep breath and exhorted Ji Feng with a serious expression.
“Don’t worry, second uncle, I know the importance.” Ji Feng nodded and said, “Besides, I already said earlier that it was just my guess, and if I hadn’t considered that the consequences could be serious, I wouldn’t have said anything today!”
Ji Zhenguo nodded in satisfaction and said, “You remember you are well, is there anything else?”
“No, second uncle, I’ll go out first then.” Ji Feng immediately understood that Second Uncle still hadn’t fully digested the impact of the news he had said, he should have deliberated on it.
After telling Second Uncle the news, Ji Feng never mentioned it again, but returned to the living room and joked with Ji Shaolei and the others. Ji Xiaoyu also changed from her usual gentle and quiet self and began to talk excitedly about where she was going to play tomorrow, and thought about what gifts she should ask for from her second and third brothers, her eyes full of little stars ……
The majority of the time he was listening to the others, in fact, joking was not his strong point in the first place, and if it wasn’t for his sharp reflexes, he wouldn’t even be able to interject.
Suddenly, a mobile phone rang, and Ji Shaolei immediately stood up and walked out, going to his room to answer it.
A moment later, he came out with an odd expression.
Ji Feng immediately smiled and asked, “Second brother, what’s wrong, is there something wrong?”
“Just now Xiang Yurou called, she’s coming over to …… with her brother tomorrow,” Ji Shaolei said somewhat oddly, “Her brother is here to look for you!”
“Looking for me?!” Ji Feng couldn’t help but be stunned.
Chapter 612
Jiangzhou, at the gate of the Southeast China Military Region, Ji Feng and Ji Shaolei sat in the car, looking at the soldiers coming in and out.
“Second brother, what do you think Xiang Yurou’s brother is doing here looking for me?” Ji Feng was a bit puzzled, “Even if he was looking, he should be looking for you, after all, you are his future brother-in-law …… Which brother of Xiang Yurou?!”
“You brat!” Ji Shaolei couldn’t help but shake his head and laugh, “Xiang Yurou is here to find me, her brother is here to find you, you have to distinguish clearly before you do!”
Ji Feng instantly laughed, “Don’t worry, I’m sure I can distinguish clearly!”
Ji Shaolei hummed and said without good grace, “The one who came is her elder brother, Xiang Yongzhan, he must have his purpose for coming to you!”
“Between me and the Xiang family, there shouldn’t be any interactions, right?” Ji Feng asked with a frown.
“Is it about the pharmaceutical factory?” Ji Shaolei thought of something and turned his head to ask, “Perhaps, Xiang Yongzhan doesn’t want to go through He Hongwei as a middleman anymore and wants to talk to you directly?”
Ji Feng nodded thoughtfully, but didn’t say anything more, except that in his heart he felt that it was somewhat impossible. After all, the cooperation between the Xiang family, the He family and the Ji family was decided by the elders of the three parties. If the two families alone cooperated, it was likely to cause the other families to be wary and resist, and cooperation between the three families was the best option.
But whether Xiang Yongzhan wanted to spare He Hongwei or not, Ji Feng couldn’t say for sure.
“Second brother, what kind of person is Xiang Yongzhan?!” Ji Feng asked. He felt that he still needed to understand the other side first before he could have a proper response.
Ji Shaolei laughed, “This person Xiang Yongzhan is not an ordinary character, no matter who he is dealing with, he is extremely strong, I remember telling you about the three Yanjing Jie before, right?”
Ji Feng nodded and said, “That’s right, Xiang Yongzhan of the Xiang family, He Hongwei of the He family, and our family boss, Ji Shaodong, are collectively known as the three Yanjing Jiejie.”
“That’s it, to be called the Three Yanjing Jie, they are naturally not simple characters!” Ji Shaolei said, “You already know what kind of character the boss is, neutral and calm, quite a great general, this is the evaluation given to the boss by some elders in Yanjing. As for Xiang Yongzhan, many people have only two words for him – Tiger Son!”
“Tiger son?!” Ji Feng was stunned, and then laughed, “What an atmospheric comment!”
“Yes, most of the sons of the family are the sons of tigers, but there are very few sons of the family who can be called the sons of tigers, Xiang Yongzhan is undoubtedly a son of a tiger, and some people also evaluate him as a tiger general!” Ji Shaolei nodded slightly, and his words could not help but be filled with esteem for Xiang Yongzhan, “Of the three Yanjing Jiejie, He Hongwei is slightly more feminine and too gentle. Our family boss is the one in the middle, Xiang Yongzhan is the real fierce, when he goes to battle he is a tiger general, brave and full of magnificence!”
Ji Feng couldn’t help but be surprised, this was an extremely high evaluation.
He asked suspiciously, “Is Xiang Yongzhan really that powerful? Isn’t it a bit exaggerated?”
After all, it was a peaceful society now, where would there be any war? Even if they were brave, they would at most be able to show off in the usual training, but they would not have the opportunity to fight in actual battles!
Ji Shaolei laughed, “You kid still have seen too little ……”
He lowered his voice and leaned closer to Ji Feng, whispering, “San’er, you haven’t been exposed to it, so you don’t quite understand …… you look like everything is peaceful now and war is far away from us, but in reality, there are quite a few wars in our country, only most of them are just local wars ……”
“There are wars in our country too?!” Ji Feng was instantly shocked, “That can’t be right? If there really is a war, how can such a big commotion be hidden from the public? Even if the media didn’t report it, there would be gossip circulating away!”
Ji Shaolei laughed heatedly, “Who said the media didn’t report it?”
“Reported it?” Ji Feng couldn’t help but be very puzzled.
Ever since he went to university, Ji Feng had paid close attention to the news reports in society, and had ordered a newspaper for this purpose. As long as there were no special matters, he would read the newspaper every day, and would also often browse the news online or watch TV, but he had never seen any reports about domestic wars.
Instead, there were many foreign wars that were often reported, and there were many so-called military experts who were there to comment on them and seemed to have a good head on their shoulders.
“Second brother, you’re not teasing me, are you? Did you get bored of waiting and made a joke?” Ji Feng asked with a laugh.
“You kid, when have I ever fooled you?”
Ji Shaolei glared at him discontentedly and hummed, “San’er, listen carefully, in fact, many of our domestic wars are reported, and they are still reported in a proper manner, it’s just that the name of the news has changed!”
“Changed to what name?” Ji Feng asked in surprise.
“The actual battle exercise!” Ji Shaolei hemmed and hawed, uttering a term familiar to anyone who paid even a little attention to the military, acting!
Ji Feng, however, opened his mouth wide and looked at Ji Shaolei in astonishment, stunned beyond belief.
“In fact, in our country, there also exists …… that what, so often will come out to make trouble, this time, local war is essential!” Ji Shaolei said vaguely, “Only, in order to cover up these kinds of military actions, and also to seal the rotten mouths of other countries, so to use the name of military exercises to report, that would be perfectly normal.”
Ji Feng slowly nodded his head and said, “It seems that I’m really a bit ignorant!”
“Actually, you just don’t care about that!” Ji Shaolei laughed.
Ji Feng suddenly thought of another question, “Then in that case, Xiang Yongzhan really did participate in the war?”
“That’s for sure!”
Ji Shaolei nodded and said, “This guy Xiang Yongzhan is one of the very few people I admire, even though this guy is too domineering and acts in an overbearing manner, you have to admit that he is indeed a real man. The first time he took part in a military operation, he took out a special squad of San by himself, and was shot 14 times himself, yet he crawled back to the national border alive!”
Ji Feng could not help but be moved by this and sighed in admiration, “A real man!”
He couldn’t help but sigh in admiration in his heart, even an extremely good special forces soldier would be lucky not to die after being shot at with fourteen shots, where else could he take out a squad from the other side? And a special squad at that!
“It was because of that battle that Xiang Yongzhan’s name spread to the top echelons of Zheng, and as a result, he, along with Boss and He Hongwei, were known as the Three Masters of Yanjing!” Ji Shaolei said.
Ji Feng couldn’t help but give him a thumbs up and said, “He deserves this title!”
“However, this guy is not without flaws, his biggest flaw is that he is too strong, thinks that everyone is a soldier under him, dares to call out to my brother, if I wasn’t unable to beat him, I would have beaten him up long ago!” Ji Shaolei bristled and said again with great dissatisfaction.
Ji Feng lost his smile and asked, “Second brother, you have suffered losses, right?”
“Humph!”
Ji Shaolei’s face was a little embarra*sed and he grunted in defiance, “That was before, now my brother’s skills have improved a lot, sooner or later I’ll be able to take that guy down, let’s see how I’ll beat him up then!”
Ji Feng harrumphed, he knew this style of second brother’s dead duck’s mouth very well.
“Here it comes!” Ji Shaolei suddenly said.
Ji Feng immediately looked forward, only to see a military jeep driving out of the gate of the military district, with a girl in camouflage uniform sitting inside, who seemed to be Xiang Yurou.
“This way!”
Ji Shaolei waved his hand out of the window and honked the horn twice more.
“Zee…!” The jeep stopped not far from the pair, and a man and a woman jumped down from the jeep. In the front was Xiang Yurou, who was dressed in camouflage clothing. Beside her, there was a stout youth.
Ji Feng’s gaze was immediately drawn to this youth. This man was probably in his early thirties and had a thin scar on his left cheek that looked as if it had been cut by a knife, but instead of looking hideous, it had a murderous look to it.
The man’s eyes were even sharper, with a refined aura showing through, and he was an extremely strong character at first glance.
Ji Feng instantly guessed the identity of this man, someone who could have such an aura, apart from Xiang Yongzhan who took out a special squad of San by himself as Second Brother said, there might not be another person.
“Get out of the car!” Ji Shaolei said in a low voice.
The two immediately and quickly got off the car, Ji Shaolei walked over in big strides and laughed, “Yurou, I finally see you again, but I really missed you ……”
With that, he opened his arms and hugged towards Xiang Yurou.
A brilliant light flashed in Xiang Yongzhan’s eyes as he fiercely took a step forward, about to teach Ji Shaolei a lesson, but suddenly, the muscles in his body suddenly tensed up, an extremely dangerous feeling instantly swept through his entire body, causing him to surprisingly fail to take this step!
“Pop!”
Xiang Yurou struck out with a whip leg, but Ji Shaolei nimbly jumped and directly dodged it, smiling, “Yurou, is this how you treat your future husband?!”
A look of surprise flashed in Xiang Yurou’s eyes, and then her pretty face turned slightly red and she spat lightly.
But Xiang Yongzhan’s eyes flashed with a brilliant light as he looked at Ji Feng, who was a few steps ahead of him, with wariness rising in his heart: “You must be quite skilled, right? Find a place to spar?”
Ji Feng immediately shook his head and smiled, extended his hand and smiled, “Ji Feng, nice to meet you!”
Xiang Yongzhan couldn’t help but be a little reluctant and said, “You kid slick, I want to spar with you, but you want to shake my hand …… But you kid is not bad, get to know each other, Xiang Yongzhan!”
