108 Arrest (2)
Lin Xiong pulled Li Chengqian out of the office.
Wang Xinbo pointed at Li Chengqian. “Li Chengqian, I’ve finally caught you!”
Immediately, two policemen rushed over from both sides and surrounded Li Chengqian to prevent him from escaping.
“Li Chengqian, you illegally hacked Tencent Corporation’s server and software. The victim has already called the police. You have to come back with us for investigation.” Wang Xinbo walked over and stood in front of Li Chengqian, speaking sternly.
This scene happened too suddenly. Before Lin Xiong could react, Li Chengqian was sandwiched between two policemen.
“Director Wang, what are you doing? Let Li Chengqian go quickly!” Lin Xiong’s tone was anxious.
He was the one who invited Li Chengqian to come and help solve the space station software system malfunction.
Naturally, Lin Xiong was not going to let them arrest Li Chengqian just like that.
“Senior Lin, this is what happened. Li Chengqian is suspected of hacking into Tencent Corporation’s server and software and using Tencent’s influence to promote the software developed by his own company.”
“This matter is well known on the Internet. The higher-ups attach great importance to it and requested for a thorough investigation,” Wang Xinbo explained in an extremely serious manner. His meaning was obvious. He was warning Lin Xiong not to intervene.
“Lin Xiong, what’s wrong with you?! Instead of focusing on the software issue I asked you to resolve, you actually went to bring in such a dangerous person to our place. What are you trying to do?!” Gao Xiang scolded him sternly. He had expected better from Lin Xiong.
“Teacher, the software problem has just been resolved! It was Li Chengqian who helped solve it! I invited him over to ask him to help solve this problem.” Lin Xiong pointed at Li Chengqian, his tone excited.
“Wang Xinbo, you can’t arrest him before you have investigated the matter thoroughly! He has contributed to the country! Treating a hero like this will disappoint the people, understand?!” Because he was too excited, Lin Xiong directly called out Wang Xinbo’s name.
“If Li Chengqian really did something he shouldn’t have done and broke the law, I’ll deal with him as I should. I definitely won’t say a word to him.” Lin Xiong’s face was filled with determination. He took a step forward and stood in front of Li Chengqian, clearly showing his attitude.
“What are you talking about? He has solved the software problem?” Gao Xiang looked at Li Chengqian in shock. Li Chengqian looked like a child.
Wang Xinbo was surprised that Li Chengqian could solve the software problem of the Academy of Space Technology, which meant that Li Chengqian’s grasp of technology was indeed very impressive.
“Teacher, he’s the programming genius I mentioned to you last time, Li Chengqian! He’s the developer of the Divine Dragon Optimization App and the space station control system I showed you last time!”
“The Software Research Institute has already completed basic testing of the Divine Dragon Optimization App. They found that the App has reached international standards and have shortlisted it for the National Foundational Improvement Project. Li Chengqian came to Dragon City to attend their software interview. Once he passes the interview, this App that he developed single handedly would be included in the National Project.”
“He may be young, but his programming abilities are definitely better than mine!” Lin Xiong explained.
Wang Xinbo was even more surprised. He knew that the Divine Dragon Optimization App was developed by Li Chengqian, and he also knew that the Divine Dragon Optimization App was notorious on the Internet.
However, he didn’t know that the Divine Dragon Optimization App was about to be included in the country’s National Foundational Improvement Project.
According to Lin Xiong, the Divine Dragon Optimization App had already passed the basic test of the Software Research Institute. That meant that Divine Dragon Optimization App was a safe and advanced software that could be in the National Foundational Improvement Project.
So all that talk on the internet about the Divine Dragon Optimization App stealing data and spreading viruses was plain nonsense.
Someone was deliberately spreading rumors and defaming them.
In an instant, Wang Xinbo thought of many things. The way he looked at Li Chengqian also changed. Gradually, it was no longer cold, but gentle.
However, he was still a little worried. After all, the space program was of utmost importance.
“So he’s the one you asked me to recommend!” Gao Xiang was enlightened. Lin Xiong was the one who asked him to recommend the Divine Dragon Optimization App.
“It’s him!” Lin Xiong nodded firmly.
“Xinbo, you handle it. Li Chengqian solved the software problem. He’s indeed a hero of the country. My attitude is the same as Senior Lin’s. I’ll handle it impartially!” Although Gao Xiang didn’t express his stance clearly, his words already indicated that he was on Li Chengqian’s side.
“Teacher, Senior Lin, don’t get me wrong, I’m only looking for Li Chengqian to help with investigations.”
“His phone was switched off earlier and we couldn’t contact him. We thought that he had fled to avoid prosecution and thought that he had come to the Academy of Space Technology to cause trouble. That’s why we arrested him directly when we met. Now that we understand the situation, it’s a misunderstanding.” Wang Xinbo laughed and explained.
“Academician Gao, Teacher Lin! Thank you for speaking up for me.” Li Chengqian’s expression had always been very calm. From the moment he refused to continue negotiations with Tencent Corporation Company, he was already mentally prepared.
“Director Wang, my Divine Dragon Optimization App has a built-in anti-hacking program. If you hack the App, it will activate the program. The function of the anti-hacking program is to latch onto the other party’s server and software to prevent the App from being hacked.”
“The promotion of the Divine Dragon Optimization App on Tencent Corporation’s website is also part of the anti-hacking program.”
“I’ve never hacked and controlled Tencent Corporation’s servers and software.” Li Chengqian was direct, making his attitude and position clear, and categorically denying the accusations against him.
Wang Xinbo frowned. Anyone could make baseless allegations. What was most important was evidence!
If there was no evidence to prove that Tencent Corporation had hacked the Divine Dragon Optimization App, based on the current situation, no matter how fanciful Li Chengqian’s explanation was, he wouldn’t be able to clear his name.
Because… in this matter, Li Chengqian was the only one who benefited! Tencent Corporation had suffered a huge loss.
The advertisements for the Divine Dragon Optimization App were still hanging on all the software of Tencent Corporation. This was a fact that could not be denied no matter how hard he tried.
“Where’s the evidence?”
“I have evidence! The anti-hacking program built into the Divine Dragon Optimization App will automatically record all the hacking operations of Tencent Corporation on the App.”
“As long as I go to the Tencent Corporation and connect to their intranet, I can direct this data through source code,” Li Chengqian said with certainty. Not only could he derive the operation to hack the Divine Dragon Optimization App, but he could also derive the video of Dr. Li Lin hacking the App.
“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s set off immediately to Tencent Corporation! The sooner the matter is resolved, the better!” Wang Xinbo’s expression turned serious as he suggested directly.
“No!” Lin Xiong disagreed.
“Teacher, Xinbo, we will for sure have to make a trip to Tencent Corporation, but we have to wait for the software problem to be completely resolved before going. This matter takes top priority,” Lin Xiong said solemnly. The problem of the space station was more important than everything else.
“Xinbo, your senior is right. This matter is more important than anything else. Li Chengqian can only go with you after this matter is settled.” Gao Xiang nodded and finally made his stand.
“Teacher, why don’t we go tomorrow after the interview for the Divine Dragon Optimization App?” Lin Xiong thought of Li Chengqian’s purpose in coming to Dragon City and suggested.
“No!” Wang Xinbo objected. The software issue was very utmost importance, thus he had to listen to Gao Xiang, and he could justify this decision to anyone who asked
However, he really could not wait for the interview for the Divine Dragon Optimization App to be over!
The masses and the higher-ups were all waiting for the results.
“I’ll talk to the people from the Software Research Institute about the interview. Please postpone it! After dealing with the software, Li Chengqian will go with Xinbo and clarify the matter before coming back. The people from the Software Research Institute will give me some face.” Gao Xiang finally made his stand.
“Senior Lin, has Li Chengqian used this computer before?” Wang Xinbo found an opportunity to ask Lin Xiong quietly while pointing at the computer.
He was still a little worried.
After all, Li Chengqian was a formidable person who could control Tencent Corporation’s servers and software and make countless technical experts helpless.
If he were to pull a trick at the Academy of Space Technology or on the space station, nobody would be able to withstand the consequences.
