Knowledge is Wealth

Communication between men is rarely heartfelt.

Especially between father and son.

This was the first time Wu Wei had ever spoken to Wu Tian in such a manner.

As a result, Wu Tian was completely stunned.

The effect was unexpectedly good.

After hanging up the phone, Wu Wei was quite satisfied.

In truth, he had always known that both Wu Tian and Lin Shen loved him.

He loved them as well.

But as an independent individual, his soul remained forever free.

He could never follow Wu Tian's arrangements to become the kind of child he imagined.

Yet, his attitude could have been softer.

Sometimes, all a father wants is for his child to take a step back in words.

Whether you actually retreat or not, parents usually know the score in their hearts.

Looking at the sky shrouded in smog, Wu Wei's mood suddenly brightened.

"Lan Meng, do you have any thoughts on this?"

Lan Meng had come with him.

Upon learning the news of the Zhao Family's incident, Lan Meng had found Wu Wei immediately.

It had to be said that the eldest Miss Lan's intuition was quite sharp.

She did not know the whole truth, nor had she seen that video.

But she had guessed it.

"Zhao Liang was killed by Zhao Xin, right? His mother took the fall for him."

Wu Wei glanced at Lan Meng without saying a word.

Lan Meng was curious: "If I can guess it, aren't you afraid that Six Fan Gate will continue to investigate?"

"That is not something I need to worry about. Zhao Xin and I have no ties; his final outcome has nothing to do with me." Anyway, I've already secured my experience points, Wu Wei thought to himself.

"Besides, just like you and me, even if some constables guess the truth, they won't necessarily insist on pursuing it."

Lan Meng nodded; this matter was somewhat shocking even to her.

"I didn't expect things to end up like this, and I didn't expect Zhao Xin to be so ruthless. As expected, in most cases, the person others perceive is often their truest personality, because they display those traits the vast majority of the time."

Therefore, in most situations, Zhao Xin really was a near-perfect person.

He had just been slightly warped by Zhao Liang.

Thinking of this, Lan Meng tilted her head, and her gaze toward Wu Wei became a bit strange.

"Wu Wei, since you helped him so much, won't Zhao Liang like you even more?"

Wu Wei: "..." Damn it, I forgot about that.

"I didn't really help him."

I was just there to recharge.

Right now, Wu Xie's delivery progress was already at 6/10.

As for Zhao Xin?

To be honest, Wu Wei hadn't even considered having any further contact with him.

In Wu Wei's view, while Zhao Xin was certainly excellent, they likely wouldn't be in the same world in the future.

"Let's not talk about that. Lan Meng, I'm planning to return a favor to you."

"Ah? So soon?"

Lan Meng was stunned; it hadn't been that long.

"How do you plan to return it? I'm not easy to dismiss, you know, unless you intend to be my boyfriend." Lan Meng said, half-joking and half-serious.

Wu Wei smiled and asked, "Do you remember Professor Wang?"

Lan Meng's expression turned strange.

She was no ordinary person, and her father, Lan Tian, was one of the Five Emperors of Night Emperor Academy; she was no stranger to Professor Wang, and she already knew his true background.

"What does this have to do with Professor Wang?"

"Last time, because I was investigating 'Chi Yu', I ended up finding Professor Wang. That incident gave me an inspiration. We must admit that there are more and more perverts in this world."

"And then?"

"And we ordinary people often lack the ability to identify these perverts in our daily lives."

"So?"

"So, there are many pitiful, honest people whose husbands or wives are out there playing around, wearing a literal Hulunbuir Grassland on their heads, yet they remain pathetically oblivious, even becoming the laughingstock of others. Tell me, aren't they miserable?"

Lan Meng's expression began to turn strange.

"Wu Wei, are you really okay, discussing this kind of topic with a little fairy like me?"

"I am merely discussing business with you. You are so young, why is your thinking so dirty?" Wu Wei said with a straight face.

Lan Meng: "..." Do I look like I believe your nonsense?

"Not only that, there are many 'gentlemen' who use all sorts of disguises to trick girls into trusting them, then upload the videos online to profit for themselves. In just a few short years, they've built million-dollar foundations. This is simply intolerable."

"Wu Wei, you have quite a lot of resentment. It must have been hard on your hands all these years, right?" Lan Meng said eerily.

Wu Wei began to cough loudly.

"Self-reliance leads to a full life. People should rely on themselves; it is pathetic to hold one's fate in the hands of others. Besides, my hands are so agile; there are things they can do that you might not be able to."

This time, it was Lan Meng's turn to cough loudly.

When a rogue meets a rogue, it's all about who is more shameless.

Without a doubt, Wu Wei won.

Glaring fiercely at Wu Wei, Lan Meng snorted, "Continue."

"I feel that the behavior of these people is highly inconsistent with our country's core socialist values, detrimental to the construction of a harmonious society, and very likely to make young people weak."

Wu Wei struck a pose as if he were pleading for the people.

Lan Meng's eyes narrowed.

"So you intend to shut these websites down?"

"Of course not. I believe the real culprits are those who are greedy or looking for thrills. Why look for that kind of thrill? They just have to film an A~VI, and then require a VIP subscription to watch it online—their greed is just too ugly. So, I want to teach these people a lesson."

"I tinkered all night, hacked into the databases of all those illegal websites, wrote a few automated scraping programs, and finally compiled it all into a small app."

"What is it for?"

"If you want to check someone, man or woman, you just upload their photo, and you can confirm whether this person has appeared on those unspeakable websites, or has been a lead actor or actress in them." Wu Wei clapped his hands and looked at Lan Meng expectantly: "Tell me, am I not awesome?"

Lan Meng gave Wu Wei a thumbs-up with a strange expression: "You are so awesome you're practically going to heaven."

"As long as I promote this app I made, society will surely become more harmonious, the internet will become cleaner, those so-called 'gentlemen' will have nowhere to hide, and there will be far fewer cheating men and women—or at least, they won't be so unscrupulous. Sigh, I really am awesome for creating such a positive-energy app."

Wu Wei gave himself a mental pat on the back.

"Lan Meng, I've decided to sell this app to you at a low price. Just pay whatever you think is fair; it doesn't need to be much, a few million will do," Wu Wei said magnanimously.

Lan Meng struggled to control her facial muscles to keep from breaking down.

After a long while, Lan Meng patted Wu Wei's shoulder hard and praised, "Knowledge is wealth. Wu Wei, you have vividly illustrated this point."

"You flatter me," Wu Wei said very modestly.

Lan Meng: If it weren't for that face of yours, I would definitely spray you to death with a mouthful of salt soda.
