Jin Qiang and his father resolve their conflict; Jin Guangming and Qin Yunlai are stunned!

"What?"

"I don't know why, but talking to Boss Ling always feels like talking to my dad."

Qin Rui was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

Although he knew what Jin Qiang meant, he found the way he put it to be utterly ridiculous.

Seeing Jin Qiang's dark expression, Qin Rui stopped laughing and said, "That's true. Boss Ling doesn't seem like a student; he seems more like a leader."

"Yes, that's exactly what I wanted to say!"

"Forget it, who cares? Anyway, Boss Ling is awesome!"

Twenty minutes later, the two went home separately.

Jin Qiang had just arrived at his doorstep when he saw the lights on inside and immediately stopped.

He knew that his father had returned.

Normally, he would feel extremely reluctant to meet his father at this moment.

But the words Ling Yi said tonight kept swirling in her mind.

Scenes from my childhood involuntarily flooded my mind.

My father was once my hero, just like a Jianghu knight-errant of ancient times, dedicated to catching bad guys and punishing evil.

But ever since his mother passed away, her death has become a thorn in Jin Qiang's heart.

Jin Wenming was indeed not a good father or a good husband, but he was certainly a good inspector.

Jin Qiang couldn't help but recall Ling Yi's words, "There is no such thing as a peaceful life; it's just that someone is bearing the burden for us."

His own father was the one who bore the burden, and he suddenly felt that he seemed to understand his father.

Taking a deep breath, Jin Qiang pushed open the door and went inside.

Seeing the familiar figure sitting in the living room, especially that head of white hair, Jin Qiang's eyes reddened.

My father's hair turned white overnight after he learned of my mother's passing.

This shows how much pain the father was enduring at that time.

"You're back? I've kept your food warm in the pot!" Jin Guangming said with a smile when he saw Jin Qiang, but his voice was full of exhaustion.

"Hmm!" Jin Qiang nodded, turned around to go back to his room, but turned back halfway, hesitated for a moment, and then sat down opposite Jin Guangming.

"What's wrong? Are you short of money?"

"Dad, I..." Jin Qiang wanted to say sorry, but he couldn't get those three words out.

When Jin Guangming heard Jin Qiang address him like that, his body trembled. His son hadn't called him that in a long time.

The father and son fell silent, unsure of what to say for a moment.

After a long while, Jin Qiang finally said, "Dad, are you on vacation? Why are you back today?"

Jin Guangming shook his head and smiled wryly, "We don't have any holidays. We just happened to have two escort missions here, so we came back to see you."

"An escort mission? Did our inspection station arrest some tough guy?"

"It's your school principal and a teacher named Cheng Yuan. I think Cheng Yuan was your homeroom teacher, right? And a bunch of thugs. This time, they're being taken to the county for trial."

"Oh, so it's those two scumbags!" Jin Qiang had naturally heard about it.

"Yeah, they really are scum. By the way, do you know someone at your school named Ling Yi? That kid's something else; he's the one who reported those two scumbags."

Jin Qiang was taken aback; he really didn't know that.

The school covered up the details of the incident, especially downplaying Ling Yi's role in it. This was Zhao Wen's idea, a way of protecting Ling Yi.

"If it were just a report, that would be one thing, but this kid prepared detailed evidence, and some of it was extremely well-hidden. I don't know how he found it."

"You know, if I were to investigate this evidence, it would probably take me a lot of effort. I've seen the raw materials that kid wrote; he's definitely good material for criminal investigation!"

"As expected of Boss Ling!"

"What did you call him? Boss Ling?"

"Yeah, Dad, you don't know, Ling Yi is not only good at studying, he's the top student in his grade, but he's also incredibly skilled in Kung Fu Hustle. He single-handedly fought over a hundred thugs, and guess what happened?"

"That scoundrel is called Li Liang, and he's one of the targets I'm escorting this time," Jin Guangming said with a smile.

Jin Qiang suddenly realized that if his father had mentioned Ling Yi, how could he not know about Ling Yi's achievements?

"Speaking of Li Liang, I'm the one who arrested his father, Li Jiuhua. I heard that his younger brother, Li Lei, is also a thug. This family is really..." Jin Guangming shook his head.

"However, in the years I've been away from Hanyun Town Hanyun Town, it's become increasingly chaotic!"

Jin Guangming was clearly furious about the inaction of the Hanyun Town Inspection Office.

After all, this is where he left off.

"Dad, when are you leaving?"

"I'm leaving first thing tomorrow morning!" Jin Guangming sighed. It was a rare opportunity to resolve the conflict with his son, and he wanted to spend some quality time with him at home.

But there are too many things to do in the county.

Jin Qiang fell silent for a moment; this was the first time he had felt reluctant to see his father leave.

"Alright, go and get some rest. I still need to see your Uncle Wu." With that, Jin Guangming got up to leave.

At this moment, Jin Qiang remembered Ling Yi's instructions and quickly called out to his father.

"Dad, Ling Yi says he wants to see you!"

"Hmm? Ling Yi me?" Jin Guangming stopped in his tracks, a hint of curiosity on his face.

"Yes, he not only wants to add you, but he also said he wants to see Uncle Qin!"

"Did they say anything about it?" Jin Guangming frowned. His first thought was whether his son had been used.

So Jin Qiang recounted what he had seen and heard at Ling Yi's place that day.

Including Ling Yi's saying, "There's always someone carrying the burden."

This piqued Jin Guangming's interest in Ling Yi.

He checked the time; it wasn't even nine o'clock yet. He said to Jin Qiang, "I'll go see your Uncle Wu first. You go find Ling Yi now and tell him to come over right now."

"Oh, right, go find your Uncle Qin and tell him to come over too. Didn't he want to see your Uncle Qin? Why not let him see him as well?"

"Now I'm curious, what exactly is this kid up to!"

After saying that, Jin Guangming left the room.

About half an hour later, Ling Yi, Jin Qiang, Qin Rui, Jin Guangming, and Qin Yunlai, who is Qin Rui's father and the director of the Ningbei County Green Savings Bureau, Qin Yunlai.

They sat around in Jin Qiang's home.

Jin Guangming and Qin Yunlai were both sizing up Ling Yi, marveling at him in their hearts.

If it were an ordinary teenager, upon seeing them, they would probably be too nervous to even speak.

Ling Yi, however, remained calm, appearing even more composed than they were.

"Uncle Qin, please take a look at this!" Ling Yi placed the unfinished material, which consisted of only a few pages, in front of Qin Yunlai.

Jin Guangming and Qin Yunlai both looked over.

The document read, "Operational Plan for Digital Payment System and Cybersecurity Project."

Qin Yunlai gasped and asked, "Where did this come from?"

"I wrote it myself; the ink isn't dry yet. Uncle Qin, please take a look first, and then I'll explain it to you," Ling Yi said.

Qin Yunlai didn't speak, but instead carefully flipped through the pages.

The content wasn't much, but with each line he read, Qin Yunlai's breathing quickened.

The things inside were so completely anachronistic for him.

He knew about digital payment systems, and even knew that someone had proposed the theory a year earlier when he attended a meeting in North Leaf Province.

But theory is just theory; there are too many issues involved, and that leader only mentioned it briefly.

About half an hour later, after reading the last message, Qin Yunlai could no longer hide his shock and murmured, "What a grand scheme, what grand ambition."

Qin Yunlai raised his head, staring intently at Ling Yi, and asked, "Is everything you wrote here true?"

"Yes, I have already developed the corresponding software, and Uncle Qin can definitely test it."

"You developed this? You even have existing software? Don't talk nonsense, this is very important."

"Yes, I would never dare to deceive Uncle Qin!"

Where did you learn all West City?

Ling Yi smiled confidently, "Uncle Qin, in this world, besides me, no one else can create software of this caliber."

The implication is that I am the strongest and don't need to learn from anyone.

"Uncle Qin, you should all be able to see that the future world is a world of network information, and the popularization of digital finance and digital payments is an inevitable trend."

"If we can be at the forefront of the world and achieve reverse export, we will inevitably influence the other major economic systems in the world."

"If other countries launch their digital financial systems first, should we connect with them or not? If we do connect, we will inevitably be constrained by them."

"At that time, the other party will only need to press a few buttons and enter a few lines of code to completely block us."

"It can be said that whoever gains control of the digital financial system first will control the world in the future."

The others were completely bewildered. Good heavens, they were even talking about controlling the world? That was way too outrageous!

But Qin Yunlai knew very well that if what Ling Yi said was true, and what he took out was real, then it was not an exaggeration at all.

"Assuming what you're saying is true, are you really willing to hand this over to the country?"

"Uncle Qin, do you think it's possible for me not to hand it over?" Ling Yi shook his head.

Qin Yunlai realized, "You're right, you see things very clearly. But this matter is too big for a nobody like me to make a decision."

Taking a deep breath, Qin Yunlai looked at Ling Yi seriously again and asked, "I'll ask you one last time, is what's said above true?"

"Uncle Qin, no one dares to joke about this kind of thing, unless I, Ling Yi, don't want to work anymore."

Qin Yunlai nodded, agreeing with what he said, and then asked, "Where is the software?"

Ling Yi was prepared and took out a hard drive, handing it to Qin Guangming.

Qin Yunlai carefully held the hard drive in his hand, and asked in surprise, "You trust me that much?"

"Uncle Qin, you're not the only option!" Ling Yi said with a smile.

Qin Yunlai taken aback for a moment, then smiled wryly and said, "That makes perfect sense!"

"Okay, I'll go to Yan City tomorrow to see my old boss!" Qin Yunlai immediately made the decision.

"Thank you very much, Uncle Qin." Ling Yi breathed a sigh of relief; this saved him a lot of trouble.

If this path is blocked, then he will have to take another one.

At this moment, Ling Yi looked at Jin Guangming again and said, "Uncle Jin, what do you think of internet cafes these days?"

"They should all be shut down!" Jin Guangming sneered. "What's the difference between this thing and the old arcades?"

"Internet cafes shouldn't exist in the first place. Those who go to internet cafes now are mostly students; it's not only a waste of money, but it also affects their studies."

Ling Yi was not surprised by Jin Guangming's attitude.

"Uncle Jin, the development of internet cafes is inevitable, and this is just the beginning; it will only get more and more outrageous in the future."

"Currently, an internet cafe only has a few dozen computers, but in the future, internet cafes with thousands of computers will be everywhere. This is an inevitable market trend, after all, the profit margin for internet cafes is too high."

Jin Guangming was aware of this as well. For one thing, large internet cafes with hundreds of machines had already appeared in Ningbei County.

He looked at Ling Yi and asked, "Do you have a solution?"

Ling Yi then explained his thoughts...
