Knowledge Is Wealth

Interactions between men were rarely heartfelt.

Especially between fathers and sons.

This was the first time Wu Wei had ever said something like that to Wu Tian.

So Wu Tian was completely stunned.

The result was even better than expected.

After hanging up, Wu Wei was quite satisfied, too.

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

And he loved them, too.

But as an independent person, his soul had always been free.

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

Still, he could have softened his attitude a little.

Sometimes all a father wanted was for his child to give a little ground verbally.

In reality, whether you gave ground or not, parents knew perfectly well.

As he looked at the sky shrouded in smog, Wu Wei's mood suddenly brightened.

"Lan Meng, what do you make of all this?"

Lan Meng had come with him.

As soon as she heard that something had happened to the Zhao Family, she went straight to Wu Wei.

One had to admit, Miss Lan's intuition was remarkably sharp.

She didn't know the whole truth, nor had she seen the video.

But she had guessed.

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

Wu Wei glanced at Lan Meng and said nothing.

Lan Meng was curious. "I could guess it. Aren't you worried the Six Fan Gate will keep investigating?"

"That's not something I need to worry about. Zhao Xin and I aren't related, and whatever happens to him in the end has nothing to do with me." Wu Wei thought, At least I've already gotten my experience points.

"And just like you and me, even if some constables have guessed the truth, that doesn't mean they'll insist on pursuing it."

Lan Meng nodded. The whole affair had shaken her, too.

"I didn't expect things to end up like this, and I didn't expect Zhao Xin to be so ruthless. Sure enough, most of the time, the person people think someone is turns out to be their truest self. They show those traits most of the time, after all."

So, most of the time, Zhao Xin really was close to perfect.

He'd just been led a little astray by Zhao Liang.

At that thought, Lan Meng tilted her head and gave Wu Wei a strange look.

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

Wu Wei: "..." MMP, I forgot about that.

"I didn't even help him."

I was just charging up.

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

As for Zhao Xin?

Honestly, Wu Wei hadn't expected to have any further dealings with him.

In Wu Wei's eyes, Zhao Xin was certainly outstanding, but from now on, they would probably be people from two different worlds.

"Forget that. Lan Meng, I'm ready to repay you for the favor you did me."

"Huh? So soon?"

Lan Meng was stunned. It hadn't been long at all.

"How are you planning to repay me? I'm not easy to win over, you know. Unless you're planning to be my boyfriend." Lan Meng said, only half joking.

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

Lan Meng's expression turned odd.

She wasn't an ordinary person. Her father, Lan Tian, was one of the Five Emperors of Night Emperor Academy, so Professor Wang was no stranger to her. She already knew Professor Wang's true background, too.

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

"Last time I looked into 'Chi Yu,' it led me to Professor Wang. That gave me an idea. We have to admit, there are more and more perverts in this world."

"And then?"

"Ordinary people like us usually can't tell who's a pervert in our day-to-day lives."

"So?"

"So there are lots of poor, honest people whose husbands or wives are out there having the time of their lives. They've got a whole Hulunbuir grassland growing over their heads, but they know nothing about it. They even become a laughingstock. Don't you think that's awful?"

Lan Meng's expression grew increasingly strange.

"Wu Wei, you're discussing this kind of thing with a sweet little fairy like me. Are you sure there's nothing wrong with you?"

"I'm talking business with you. You're so young, how can your mind be so dirty?" Wu Wei said solemnly.

Lan Meng: "..." Yeah, right.

"Not only that, there are plenty of men who disguise themselves, win girls' trust, and then upload videos online to make money. In just a few years, they build up a fortune worth millions. That's simply intolerable."

"Wu Wei, you sound pretty bitter. Have your hands had a rough time over the years?" Lan Meng said faintly.

Wu Wei broke into a loud coughing fit.

"Do it yourself, and you'll have food on the table. People have to rely on themselves. It's pathetic to put your fate in someone else's hands. Besides, my hands are so nimble that you might not be able to do what they can."

This time, Lan Meng started coughing loudly.

When a pervert met another pervert, it all came down to who was more shameless.

Without a doubt, Wu Wei won.

She glared at Wu Wei and snorted. "Go on."

"I think what these people are doing goes completely against our country's core socialist values. It undermines our efforts to build a harmonious society, and it can easily leave young people feeling weak."

Wu Wei struck a pose as if he were speaking up on behalf of the people.

Lan Meng narrowed her eyes.

"So you're planning to shut down those websites?"

"Of course not. I think the real culprits are the people who are greedy or looking for thrills. If you want thrills, find them somewhere else. They just have to make an A~VI and upload it online, and then you need a VIP membership to watch it. Their greed is appalling, so I'm going to teach them a lesson.

"I spent all night hacking into the databases of every illegal website, then made a few automated scraping programs and combined everything into a small app."

"What does it do?"

"If you want to look someone up, man or woman, just upload a photo of them. It'll tell you whether they've ever appeared on those unspeakable websites as a leading man or leading woman." Wu Wei clapped his hands, then looked at Lan Meng expectantly. "Tell me, aren't I amazing?"

Lan Meng gave Wu Wei an odd look and raised a thumb. "You're so amazing, you're practically out of this world."

"Once my app catches on, society will definitely become more harmonious, the internet will get cleaner, and all those so-called gentlemen will have nowhere to hide. There'll be far fewer cheating men and women, too. At the very least, they won't be so brazen. Ah, I really am amazing. I managed to create such a positive app."

Wu Wei gave himself a thumbs-up.

"Lan Meng, I've decided to sell you this app for cheap. Just pay whatever you think is fair. It doesn't have to be much—just a few million." Wu Wei said generously.

Lan Meng struggled to keep her face from crumpling.

After a long while, Lan Meng finally patted Wu Wei firmly on the shoulder and praised him. "Knowledge is wealth, Wu Wei. You've given us a vivid demonstration of that."

"You flatter me." Wu Wei said modestly.

Lan Meng: "If you didn't have that face, I'd spray a mouthful of salt soda right at you."
