65: Chapter 65 I Need to Give My Brother-in-Law a Look
Because Zhao Xiaoshuai was an internet industry professional, he placed great importance on acquiring information.
Furthermore, given the high prevalence of mobile phones nowadays, rather than letting the next generation make contact in secret, it was better for them to make contact under his guidance.
Chu Xinyi attended Hope Middle School, which was a full-boarding school.
Whether out of concern for communication safety or the consideration of keeping in touch with the world, Zhao Xiaoshuai chose to purchase a mobile phone for her at that time.
It was a very cheap domestic phone, but it opened the door to a new world for Chu Xinyi from that moment on.
Zhao Xiaoshuai didn't just buy the phone and leave it at that; from that time on, he frequently communicated with her.
He taught her how to distinguish false and useless information, how to acquire the information she wanted, and regulated the proportion of time she spent browsing the internet each day.
Chu Xinyi was also very determined and didn't get lost in the information explosion of the virtual internet; instead, she treated it merely as a tool to enrich her own knowledge and insights.
When she entered high school, because their home was too far from the city, Chu Xinyi had to rent a place near the school, so Zhao Xiaoshuai rented this current apartment for her.
He also bought her the first computer of her life.
It was just a desktop computer with average specifications, but it was the key that completely opened a new world for Chu Xinyi.
Through her own exploration, she learned special internet skills, learned programming, and even became a somewhat well-known underground hacker.
Her internet skills had long since far surpassed those of Zhao Xiaoshuai, that miserable wage slave, and her vision finally landed freely and unhindered upon the entire world.
The internet is a great invention.
Many children from poor families have innate shortcomings in their cognition; they don't know how this world operates and don't know what it's like "outside the village."
Cognition determines a person's upper limit.
The internet largely compensates for this part of knowledge; of course, a person's own ability to distinguish and whether they have established a stable, self-consistent worldview are necessary conditions.
Whether it's the daily life of top billionaires or the most miserable life in the slums, one can catch a glimpse of it on the internet.
Whether it's the world classics settled in history or the most cutting-edge scientific achievements, one can learn about them on the internet.
She didn't have a mother, but the physiological knowledge that a mother couldn't teach could be learned on the internet.
Her father didn't have much insight, but the life philosophy that a father couldn't teach could also be learned on the internet.
The internet completed her, allowing her talent, which had always been constrained, to grow fully.
What had limited her growth was always the 100 or 150 points on exams, the inscrutable rules of harmony, and her own family background.
When all of this was broken, her growth had already exceeded everyone's cognition.
Although she was still just a high school student who hadn't celebrated her eighteenth birthday, the things she understood were no less than those of Zhao Xiaoshuai, this thirty-year-old uncle.
In many fields, she was even in a position of overwhelming superiority.
Therefore, regarding the fact that Zhao Xiaoshuai had found many new women, although she was very unhappy in her heart, she couldn't bring herself to be angry.
She knew exactly what kind of person Chu Ziqing was; she even knew that her sister was secretly two-timing, dating other people at the same time.
Several times, she had wanted to expose this matter, but she was worried that if she did, her brother-in-law and her family would become enemies and would no longer be able to be family at all.
She was unwilling to accept such a future.
After hesitating again and again, it was finally Chu Ziqing who made the first move.
But fortunately, her brother-in-law was still her brother-in-law; he would still treat her as close family.
The Chu family felt guilty towards her brother-in-law.
Her brother-in-law becoming the way he was now was entirely caused by Chu Ziqing, so no matter how much she blamed him, she could only blame her sister.
She only found out today that her brother-in-law had become rich.
She had already pried out of him that what Zhao Xiaoshuai gave Meng Yawen included not only various luxury goods but also luxury cars and a large house.
These things, which added up to nearly four million, logically shouldn't be affordable for Zhao Xiaoshuai, this newly unemployed wage slave.
But she didn't care where the money came from.
She was just worried that her brother-in-law would be deceived by these newly met women, so she had to keep an eye on things.
Meng Yawen was just a simple-minded female college student and currently passed her preliminary review, but there were at least two unknown women.
She would find them all.
The car stopped slowly, and Chu Xinyi transformed back into a well-behaved and innocent high school student, hopping up the stairs.
"Brother-in-law, you go wash the rice; I'll handle the fish first."
"You had this planned out already?"
"Hmph, someone has been coming over to mooch meals every day recently; if I didn't prepare early, how could I handle a big mouth like you?"
Zhao Xiaoshuai didn't notice his Sister-in-law's growth in the slightest; in his eyes, his Sister-in-law was still that little girl who needed guidance and protection.
His Sister-in-law's cooking was as appetizing and rice-friendly as ever, but this little girl seemed to enjoy the activity of footsie.
While eating, Zhao Xiaoshuai felt his foot being lightly stepped on by a petite, delicate foot.
Looking up, his Sister-in-law appeared to be focused on eating, as if she had only stepped on him inadvertently.
He also continued eating expressionlessly, but under the table, he launched a surprise attack, stepping on his Sister-in-law's foot.
Above and below the table were like two different worlds; a "war" without smoke of gunpowder broke out again, only this time, Zhao Xiaoshuai was defeated yet again.
He gritted his teeth inwardly, "Sooner or later, I will grab these two nimble little feet in my hands, and then, I'll tickle the soles of her feet with all my might! You'll be begging for mercy!"
After seeing her brother-in-law off, in the quiet little room, Chu Xinyi didn't read this time, but instead sat in front of the computer that looked a bit old on the outside.
Pressing some special key combinations on the boot interface, the computer started another system.
Although this computer looked like the one Zhao Xiaoshuai had bought for her back then, the inside had actually been completely upgraded; it was almost top-of-the-line on the market.
This was all extra money she earned through the internet, which she used to buy and install the parts herself.
She launched the AI assistant she had trained, hacked into a special network, and copied the traffic footage of Chuncheng from the last seven days to hand over to the assistant for processing.
After a long while, almost all the places where Zhao Xiaoshuai's car had been were extracted.
After analysis and processing by the AI, a movement trajectory with a timeline was presented on the map of Chuncheng.
"Why has Brother-in-law been so fond of wandering around everywhere lately?"
"There are four places that can be confirmed he visits frequently, one of which is a fitness center that I already know about."
"There are also three different residences; so besides Sister Wenwen, there are three others?"
"Stinky Brother-in-law, you're quite capable of finding them in such a short time! Aren't you afraid your body won't be able to take it!"
