I Have A Super USB Drive Chapter 440: Homecoming

Chapter 440: Homecoming

“Dad, Mom, how many months along are you, and is it a boy or girl?”

“Just two months and it’s a boy. We found out a few days ago. At first, I didn’t want to keep it, but of all things, your dad stopped me from getting an abortion...”

“Ahem, if this was the past, I’d let you get an abortion, but now... Our bodies are much tougher than before and we’re like young people in our twenties or thirties. Little Chen is also doing well. I just thought since this was the case, why don’t we keep the baby...”

In the living room of a villa, Chen Chen and his parents were sitting on sofas that faced each other. All the housekeepers had been sent away on one pretext or another and only the three members of Chen Chen’s family were in the large living room.

At this time, Chen Chen’s parents were a little reticent and embarra.s.sed when facing Chen Chen.

“Is this the last one?”

At this time, Chen Chen could not help asking. He was afraid that he would suddenly gain a gaggle of younger siblings for no reason.

Hearing this, his father immediately blushed. “What did you say, you brat, of course, it’s the last one!”

Chen Chen did not say much in response but just nodded. “It’s fine. Anyway, the one-child policy ended about ten years ago. Have the baby if you want, I don’t have any thoughts.”

“That’s good.”

Chen Chen’s mother heaved a sigh of relief. She was afraid that Chen Chen would not agree to have an extra brother. After all, Chen Chen was now very successful and his opinions carried a lot of weight at home.

It must be said that, after using the Medpod 3000, Chen Chen’s parents, both in appearance and physical function, had returned to their early thirties from the age of fifty. It was no wonder that Chen Chen would have an additional younger brother.

“By the way, when the Chinese New Year is over, you two should come with me to the Eco Science City again. This year’s health maintenance should also be carried out.”

Chen Chen suddenly reminded them. “This kind of maintenance is best done once a month. It’s just that you’re not willing to move to Namibia with me. Otherwise, your health would be even better now.”

“Why do we have to go again?”

Suddenly, Chen Chen’s father expressed his reluctance. “Once a year is good enough. Once a month, who can stand it? Wouldn’t we have to take a plane every day?”

With that, he kept waving his hand. “We’re not going!”

“What are you saying!”

Chen Chen’s mother was so indignant that she swatted her husband. “Our son is just fulfilling his filial duty. Wouldn’t it be great to live thirty years longer?” She raised her head and asked expectantly, “Can it make us even younger?”

“Of course, you can even be a college student in your twenties.”

Chen Chen joked.

Following that, Chen Chen chatted with his parents for a while, then got up and went back to his room.

In the room, there was only a bed and a desk. The bedding had been exposed to the sun and emitted the aroma of grilled mites. On the desk table, apart from a few books of Crayon s.h.i.+n-chan, which he had read as a child, there was only a laptop and nothing else.

Subconsciously, Chen Chen swept the place with his Field energy, scanning the room again.

Very clean, there was no wiretapping.

Chen Chen nodded. It seemed that the people he sent to protect his parents were still doing their jobs. Of course, the biggest savior was still Little X.

She had a grip on the entire World Wide Web. If someone was planning anything against Chen Chen’s parents, unless they did not use the Internet to transmit messages, it would be difficult to evade Little X’s supervision.

“Sir G.o.dfather, since just now, the defense of your parent’s community has been taken over by the government as an emergency.”

At this moment, Little X’s voice suddenly came from the headset. “It seems that the authorities have received news of your return, but they didn’t directly look for you. Instead, they dressed up as security and are standing guard outside the community area. Several businessmen who had wanted to visit you have been blocked.”

“It’s normal.”

Chen Chen nodded. “Anyone who possesses dozens of era-transcending technologies or who is even suspected of possessing a secret weapon that can destroy a continent will be treated like this. It just depends on when they want to talk to me.”

He rested in the room for a while. At this moment, Chen Chen suddenly heard two sets of footsteps approaching the door. One of them was his father but the other was not his mother.

After a few seconds, the two sets of footsteps came to the door of the room and Chen Chen got up and opened the door.

“Er...”

Chen Chen’s father was about to knock on the door but saw that Chen Chen had opened the door. At once he said, “Look who’s here? As soon as your cousin heard you came back, he rushed over.”

Chen Chen looked at the 30-year-old young man at the side. It was Chen Zheng, so he nodded and greeted, “Cousin, long time no see.”

“Long time no see, Cousin Chen Chen.”

Chen Zheng smiled goofily and scratched his head awkwardly.

“Aren’t we family, what’s with the formality? Go in and have a good chat. Chen Zheng, don’t just leave when you’re done, have lunch at Uncle’s place.”

“Okay, thank you, Uncle.”

Chen Zheng thanked him and followed Chen Chen into the room.

“Just sit anywhere.”

Chen Chen pointed to the chair in front of the desk, then leaned against the bed casually, and continued to use his phone.

“Cousin Chen Chen, why didn’t you tell me you were back.”

Chen Zheng said with some enthusiasm, “You’ve been abroad all year and I didn’t have time to report to you about our advertising agency.”

Only then did Chen Chen remember that during Chinese New Year last year, Chen Zheng asked to borrow money from Chen Chen, so Chen Chen simply injected one million in capital, in the name of investment, to help Chen Zheng open an advertising company. Chen Zheng took care of the management and the shares were split as 30% for Chen Zheng and 70% for Chen Chen.

Still, now it appeared that the advertising company was doing really well. Now Chen Zheng had gained the air of a big boss. He was wearing a suit and leather shoes and had gotten much rounder with an obvious beer belly.

“I have received the profit dividend.”

Currently, Chen Chen nodded. “And I also believe that you, Cousin, aren’t someone who will try to embezzle funds.”

“Of course!”

Chen Zheng said quickly, “Don’t worry about that, I’m not such a person. You can send a financial officer to check at any time.”

With that, Chen Zheng suddenly said a little worriedly, “Other than that, I found that the reason our advertising company can make millions in profit right at the start, with big commissions almost every month, is because many people want to link up with you through me. As a result, I’ve turned down many big offers, but I don’t know how this will affect you.”

“It’s okay, Cousin, please do as you see fit.”

Chen Chen was indifferent. “If they’re just trying to network with us, then do it if you can. We don’t steal or rob anyone anyway. Still, if there is a possibility of a trap, then turn it down. I’m fine with all that.”

“That’s true as well.”

Chen Zheng immediately felt relieved. “There are many people in our city’s Chamber of Commerce who want to get to know you through me, but I declined. Even so, the value of your villa community has increased significantly. I guess you know the reason.”

Chen Chen nodded and did not dwell on this matter. The community was still so peaceful because Chen Chen was pulling the strings from behind the scenes. Those who wanted to buy a villa next to Chen Chen’s parents to cozy up to them were all secretly dealt with by Chen Chen.

By now, except for a few old residents who did not want to move, almost all of the entire community consisted of bodyguards and Black Knights secretly put in place by Chen Chen.

Next, Chen Zheng mentioned their second uncle’s son and daughter. After the car accident last year, the perpetrators were never found. In the end, their son, Chen Zhi, inherited their house while their daughter, Chen Shan, only took a part of the money and left the family, and got married to someone she met online.

“Chen Shan is already married?”

Chen Chen was startled.

The second uncle’s daughter, Chen Shan, was the same age as Chen Chen, only younger by some months. She had been a playmate for Chen Chen when she was young and she did not inherit her mother’s foul manner.

Then as they grew up, the relations.h.i.+p between the two became distant because of the years of separation.

“It would be nice if she just got married.”

Chen Zheng was a bit distressed. “Cousin Chen Shan also had a hard life. I just heard that the online partner Chen Shan was dating took the one million dowry you gave Chen Shan and ran away alone, leaving only Cousin Chen Shan and the eight-month-old baby in her belly...”

Chen Chen frowned instantly. “When did this happen and why didn’t my parents tell me?”

“Cousin Chen Shan told me not to tell you.”

Chen Zheng smiled bitterly. “It happened last month. You also know what she’s like, so strong and stubborn. Because that b*stard ran away, Chen Shan almost couldn’t pay the rent. I couldn’t bear it and I paid up her rent for a year...”

“Okay, I’ll take care of this.”

Chen Chen nodded and said, “Later, you can ask Cousin Chen Shan to send me the man’s information.”

“Cousin Chen Chen, what are you going to do?”

Chen Zheng’s spirits were lifted at once. After all, he was not of the older generation like Chen Chen’s parents. He still knew how much power and influence Chen Chen’s company had. Apart from anything else, even just the recent developments that happened with Northern America, ultimately resulting in Northern America compromising, would turn anyone speechless.

“Of course, I have to track him down first.”

Chen Chen spread his hands and said helplessly, “What else can I do? We’ll see what Cousin Chen Shan wants. If she wants to start over, she can do that. If she doesn’t want to be with this person, we’ll make him spit out the money. After all, we’re in a society under the rule of law and murder would result in a jail sentence.”

“Dang, well, I’ll leave this to you then.”

Chen Zheng flushed a little. If it were so easy to track down that guy and make him hand over the money, then he would not have been anxious. Still, for Chen Chen, maybe this matter was simple.

Following that, they chatted in sporadic exchanges. Chen Zheng, who was in his early thirties, nonetheless acted like a subordinate in front of Chen Chen.

Half an hour later, Chen Zheng said goodbye and left.

Watching Chen Zheng walk out of the room, Chen Chen said to the air, “X, were you able to find the man’s information?”

“Of course.”

Little X replied, “I’ve found it. The man’s name is Zhang Heng, 35 years old, from Zhongzhou, 1.62 meters tall, 130 kilograms in weight.”

After Little X’s answer, Chen Chen was also sent a sheet of information on his mobile phone. Chen Chen lightly tapped on it and saw a male ID photo. The ID photo showed a man in his thirties.

However, the man had a bit of a baby face, so he looked a little vulgar, yet somewhat attractive.

“According to the IP address of his various social accounts, he has now returned to Zhongzhou. Should I send someone to bring him back?”

Little X asked.

“Bring him back.”

Chen Chen looked at the photo in his hand and then turned off the phone. “See what Chen Shan wants. As long as she doesn’t mind bringing the child up by herself, just dispose of this man.”

As he said, Chen Chen could not help but crack a sinister grin. “No matter what, she’s a member of the Chen family. If he’s allowed to swagger off just like this, how can the Chen family live this down?”

...

Presently, on the other side of things, as the news of Chen Chen’s homecoming spread like wildfire, many security departments suddenly became busier than ever.

This had not always happened. Even during the previous Chinese New Year, Chen Chen had owned a variety of era-defining patents. When he returned to Handu, the authorities did not make a big fuss.

Nevertheless, this year was different. After Blacklight Biotechnology had set foot in the aeros.p.a.ce and military industry and demonstrated various weapons and technologies beyond reality, the Mainland China government’s focus on Chen Chen had increased by two levels. At this time, at the FBI branch in Handu, Chen Chen’s information had been placed in front of more than a dozen people.

“Chen Chen, a student of Shangdu Jiao Tong University, has now deferred his studies. From elementary school to high school, his performance was normal. It was at the end of the freshman semester that he suddenly developed the first-generation plan of the age-reversal treatment program and published it in the international journal, Cell.”

On the podium in the conference room, a female lecturer explained tirelessly, “However, there were some twists and turns during the publication. A school a.s.sociate professor named Zheng Jian tried to use this paper for his own name, but after meeting Chen Chen, suddenly jumped to his death.”

“Is it murder?”

Someone asked with interest.

“No, when he jumped off the building, Chen Chen had a solid alibi. Plus, an investigation of the deceased found that the deceased had been suspected of murder before his death and the target of murder was his own ex-wife.”

The speaker took a baton, pointed to the middle-aged man on the slide, and continued. “According to Chen Chen’s statement, he used the details of the photo placed on the table, Zheng Jian’s biology major, and the type of cancer of the ex-wife, to figure out that Zheng Jian murdered his ex-wife. Therefore, after Chen Chen exposed this, the other party had to commit suicide to escape punishment.”

“Hey, this is interesting.”

Hearing that, an investigator in his thirties with a beard, who was smoking a cigarette and crossing his legs, said, “So, this other guy was about to indirectly coerce Chen Chen but he committed suicide in the next second. Moreover, I notice that the information states that this happened in twenty-five minutes. That’s to say, it took Chen Chen only twenty-five minutes to cause the death of a man with just his words. Such a record... Tsk tsk, it’s a bit scary to be true...”

“Yes, the case seems very simple on the surface but for him to a.n.a.lyze the clues of the other man in such a short time, to the point where no refutation was possible, requires great skill, at least in terms of logical thinking ability and verbal eloquence.”

A forty-year-old, gray-haired investigator beside solemnly said, “It’s a pity that Chen Chen didn’t join us as a federal investigator.”

“Oh come off it, Old Li, look at who is he now? The chairman of a giant corporate group and a n.o.bel Prize winner, and you want him to be a federal investigator? Dream on!”

The man with the beard sneered mockingly.

“Okay, we’re digressing. Please continue.”

At this moment, the director of the FBI branch who was sitting in the main seat spoke.

“Yes.”

The speaker on the podium looked chastised and then continued to say, “If this incident was originally just an accident, then the next case might subvert your a.s.sumptions.”

As she said, the slide automatically switched to the next piece of information. “Just six months later, that is, during the period when Chen Chen had stopped his studies and started the company — according to our follow-up investigation, he had developed the first APP software, Little X Translation a.s.sistant, and thus had invited several people in the business field for a meeting, but the specific method of contact is unknown.

“However, after partic.i.p.ating in an offline discussion at that time, one of the corporate figures named Guo Dazhuang was killed on the spot when he ignored the traffic after going out.”

Hearing this, the many investigators present finally stopped conversing in low voices and they became serious.
