Bai Zheng hesitated for a moment and didn’t immediately take the lighter. He turned his head to look at the cylindrical object tied to the tree branch, about two or three centimeters long, with a fuse at the tail. contemporary romance
Seeing Bai Zheng’s hesitation, Zheng Mo impatiently grabbed his hand and placed the lighter on it. “Hurry up and light it. What’s there to hesitate about?”
Bai Zheng looked at the lighter in his hand and then glanced at Zheng Mo.
Zheng Mo’s eyes showed an encouraging look. “Don’t worry, this small amount won’t attract the police’s attention. Even if they want to investigate, we’ll be finished before they find anything.”
Bai Zheng wasn’t afraid of the police, of course. He remembered the only time in his life when he had played with fireworks.
When Bai Zheng was very young, personal fireworks were still allowed in cities in China during the Lunar New Year. At that time, because he had excelled in playing the piano and gained recognition from his relatives, his parents allowed him to make a private wish. He chose to have a family fireworks display.
That was one of Bai Zheng’s few beautiful memories of his family.
Bai Zheng tightened his grip on the lighter, squatted down, and lit the first homemade firework.
The fuse burned, and with a light “whoosh,” it flew into the sky.
It didn’t burst into colorful patterns in mid-air but rather streaked across the sky like a shooting star. Though it was brief and didn’t last long, it still left a brilliant mark in the night.
Zheng Mo watched Bai Zheng’s smiling face as he looked up at the sky. She also smiled happily. Chemistry and physics were indeed useful.
Wen Nian didn’t take Zheng Mo’s words about wanting to make amends to heart. After all, she didn’t expect Zheng Mo to actually produce fireworks. She put the matter out of her mind when she returned home.
After Jiang Chun’s birthday party, Wen Nian remained vigilant toward Jiang Chun. However, by the beginning of June, during their final exams for the senior year of high school, Wen Nian hadn’t noticed anything unusual about Jiang Chun, at least not on the surface. Jiang Chun never showed any intention of deliberately engaging in conversations with Shen Jun or displayed any unusual behavior. She still asked questions related to their studies, just like before. Wen Nian couldn’t utter a single word of suspicion.
After all, it’s easy to be a thief for a thousand days but hard to guard against a thief for a thousand days. Over time, Wen Nian knew that although Jiang Chun’s intentions were impure, she didn’t have the energy to constantly observe her.
Wen Yu was accepted into one of the top five universities in Shanghai, Danfu University.
Bai Zheng, on the other hand, was directly admitted to the best music school in China. In this lifetime, Zheng Mo didn’t choose the police academy again. Instead, she chose to attend Beijing Normal University, preparing to become a teacher in the future.
With this year’s college entrance examination coming to a close, all the students were about to enter the final exams before summer vacation.
Wen Nian had started reviewing the high school curriculum two months ago. Shen Jun watched as Wen Nian solved problems and suddenly felt vibrations from his pocket. He took out his phone and saw that the network firewall he had installed on Wen Nian’s phone was under attack.
Shen Jun frowned slightly. “Someone is trying to hack your phone.”
Upon hearing this news, Wen Nian was momentarily stunned. Then she thought about the money in her bank account and asked nervously, “Are they trying to steal my money?! Is it safe for me to check my bank balance on my mobile banking app?”
Looking at Wen Nian’s money-driven expression, Shen Jun chuckled without hiding his exasperation. “It’s already intercepted. Your phone is safe.”
Wen Nian only felt relieved after confirming it through the login. She then looked at Shen Jun with a puzzled expression. “I’m just an ordinary high school student. How did I catch the attention of hackers?”
Shen Jun pondered for a moment and speculated, “Where have you been recently? Did you unintentionally capture something you shouldn’t have?”
In an instant, Wen Nian thought of the video that Wei Lai and Jiang Ning were so desperate to retrieve. She revealed a meaningful smile. “1 think I know who’s behind this.”
Curiously, Shen Jun looked at Wen Nian, and she continued, “I captured some compromising footage of Wei Lai and Jiang Ning. They must have hired a hacker to invade my phone and delete the video.”
Shen Jun said, “The firewall 1 set up for you will definitely keep the other party out. But if you’re still concerned and want to reinforce it, you can.”
Wen Nian thought about it and declined, instead saying to Shen Jun, “No need to reinforce it. 1 want to store the original video in another location and keep a backup copy on a USB drive. You can create a loophole that allows the other party to access my phone and mistakenly believe that they deleted the original file.”
Shen Jun furrowed his eyebrows slightly. “But once they think you no longer have any leverage, they will definitely come after you.”
Wen Nian nodded earnestly, smiling mischievously as she secretly planned, “That’s what I want. I want them to act without hesitation.. Otherwise, how long do I have to be on guard?”
