Chen Yuanguang knew what Knowledge Download was. He had seen related information before, and he also knew what Pangu was.

Pangu was an AI developed further and more deeply from Alpha. It was mainly responsible for managing the Asia-Pacific Region, and the vast majority of the Chen family's businesses were managed by Pangu.

"Can Pangu tell me what research direction to pursue?" Chen Yuanguang asked.

Chen Yonglin nodded. "Once you complete Knowledge Download, have a conversation with Pangu. Based on the results, it will help you choose the subject most suitable for you at the moment.

Of course, it will also be difficult. It may take years or even longer before you achieve results.

But any subject Pangu chooses for you will definitely be one that no one is currently working on, one that AI cannot produce results for in the short term and that they do not intend to continue investing in. Moreover, no human scholar has achieved results in it."

Chen Yuanguang quickly understood Pangu's advantages. It was like having a top-tier advisor select a research topic for him online.

From the public information he had obtained, he only knew that Alpha was a top scientist who eclipsed both the past and present, having solved every one of the Millennium Prize Problems that had remained unsolved.

For the NS Equation, it had found an analytical solution in the general case. The mathematical concepts derived from it alone had helped computational chemistry become a prominent discipline, indirectly ushering in the great age of exploration in materials science.

If he merely understood the solution to the NS Equation, then returned to the present day and published it, he would not need to say a word no matter what questions others asked. He only needed to look at them as if they were idiots, and they would start wondering whether they themselves were idiots for failing to understand such simple steps.

That alone would be enough to make Chen Yuanguang a priceless treasure. Even if the human world fought itself into extinction, he would be protected until the very end.

Chen Yuanguang said, "Thank you, Uncle. I have one more request. I hope you can send me to the University of Malaya. I plan to move there, while Uncle Zhong temporarily handles the household's daily maintenance and cleaning."

Uncle Zhong was Chen Yuanguang's robotic butler.

Chen Yuanguang explained his concerns to Chen Yonglin.

From Chen Yuanguang's perspective, Chen Yonglin and Chen Yongqi were full brothers with the same father and mother. That was rare, and there was no conflict of interest between them. Chen Yonglin had no motive whatsoever to act as the mastermind behind the scenes.

As for the family trust, if Chen Yuanguang died, it would be reclaimed by the family and redistributed. No matter what, it would not go to Chen Yonglin.

Besides, Chen Yuanguang was merely telling Chen Yonglin his suspicions and hoping he could get him safely to the University of Malaya. It was not a difficult request to fulfill.

He had already given him one million New Yuan. This little matter was nothing.

Chen Yonglin nodded heavily. "Yuanguang, your concerns are valid. I also don't know what your father left behind that made someone go to such lengths to kill him.

There are many suspicious points here. You need to investigate them one by one yourself, including why Yongqi, who had never brought your mother along on investigations before, brought her with him this time.

If the murderer truly is Lin Ran, as you said, then as Huafeng's executive in Malaysia, he naturally knows that the Chen family has the ability to initiate a Truth Trial. Why would he still dare to do this?

You need to investigate all of that yourself."

After saying that, Chen Yonglin used his watch's aerial projection function to play a recording for Chen Yuanguang.

"Mr. Lin, do you recognize the person in this photograph?"

"I don't."

"According to the information we obtained, Mr. Chen Yongqi had been investigating the relationship outside of marriage between you and your wife. It seems he had found some results."

Lin Ran said calmly, "Is that so? I never imagined there would come a day when I, too, would be investigated by a detective."

The police officer sitting across from him in a dark blue uniform looked equally composed, as though Lin Ran had said nothing. "Yes. According to surveillance footage retrieved from the system, Mr. Chen Yongqi had been following you since March.

He followed you for as long as three months. During those three months, did you truly not notice anything at all?"

Lin Ran's expression began to show surprise. "Three months? Mr. Chen truly was talented. He followed me for so long without me noticing. He must have been quite a skilled stalker.

But following me for that long was a serious violation of my privacy. I will definitely hire a lawyer to sue him."

The officer continued expressionlessly, "There's no need. He's already dead."

Lin Ran clasped his hands together. "That truly is regrettable. Although his surveillance of me made me dissatisfied, anyone who could follow me for three months without being discovered was a talent.

The death of talent is always more heartbreaking."

There was not a single flaw in Lin Ran's answers. After asking a few more routine questions, the officer let him leave.

"Stop."

After the video ended, Chen Yuanguang felt that Lin Ran's performance had been flawless, no different from that of a Best Actor. A thought suddenly occurred to him. "Uncle, do you think Lin Ran might have a way to bypass the Truth Trial?"

Chen Yonglin shook his head. "Impossible. This is technology developed by Alpha. Lin Ran is merely Huafeng's watchdog in Malaysia. How could he possibly fool the Truth Trial?

You should know that it directly reads his brainwave. No matter how good his acting is, his brainwave cannot deceive AI."

Alpha's authority, built over centuries, was as unshakable as a mental seal, Chen Yuanguang thought.

Chen Yongqi continued, "I obtained this video from Yonglin's former colleague in the Malaysian police department. Originally, I planned to show it to you when you decided to initiate a Truth Trial against Lin Ran.

So you could reconsider.

Now that you have no such plans, I still decided to let you see it, so you understand that Lin Ran may not be the mastermind. Even if he truly is, he will not be easy to deal with."

"Have you finished your general education exam?" Chen Yongqi asked after speaking.

Chen Yuanguang said, "I passed."

Chen Yongqi said, "Good. Then we'll handle the procedures directly. First, complete your high school graduation formalities here, and then we'll head to Malaya."

Chen Yongqi did not wait until the next day. He immediately sent Chen Yuanguang to the University of Malaya and helped him complete his enrollment and move-in procedures.

"Delays can lead to complications. You haven't told anyone else about this idea, have you?" Chen Yongqi asked on the way to the University of Malaya.

The entire car had no driver's seat, only two ergonomic seats. Chen Yuanguang studied this car of the future as he answered, "No."

Chen Yongqi said, "Good. That way, even if there is danger, we can catch him off guard."

Universities had the most comprehensive surveillance systems and robotic security. There were even more robots than humans, and Chen Yuanguang felt overwhelmingly safe.

After the enrollment procedures were complete, Chen Yongqi transferred the New Yuan into his account before leaving. Chen Yuanguang thought that having startup capital felt wonderful.

If an ordinary person had to start from scratch, how long would it take to save one million New Yuan?
