Chapter 45

Chapter 45

Wen Er looked at him as if he were looking at a terrifying monster.

The only thing that could be used to threaten Luo Ran was the intercepted and tampered paper data of Luo Ran's parents.

A layman cannot distinguish between these, and it is not clear which situations require only contacting the journal for correction and retraction, receiving some criticism, and bearing corresponding responsibilities, and which situations violate academic ethics and require severe punishment.

Luo Ran is so controllable. In his heart, his parents are the most powerful and smartest scientists in the world.

Luo Ran had no idea that no one would even bother to question his parents' trivial research papers - only papers in S-level journals that were important enough and directly linked to administrative level transfers and scientific research funding applications would be considered.There is questionable value.

...such as those papers by Wen Er.

Wen Er's paper is entirely based on the data collected by Luo Ran.

Wen Er seemed to be strangled by the throat. He was dripping with cold sweat. He couldn't think of anything else and tried his best to recall his thesis from four months ago in his mind.

He didn't notice it at the time, but looking back now, he realized that those papers were written extremely smoothly.All the data is highly consistent with the needs. The more you write, the smoother it becomes. Every article is easy to read.

If Luo Ran had the personality of "Pu Ying" at that time, if the data given to him was problematic, if those data were deliberately guiding him, or even guiding the entire scientific research institute——

"Don't worry, there are no problems with other people's papers."

"Pu Ying"'s voice was unhurried: "Those scientific research teams should not be implicated by you... All the data I uploaded in the terminal's database are true and accurate."

"As long as you follow standard procedures and use data according to regulations, anyone can produce a correct paper."

"...But who told you not to do this?"

The "Pu Ying" in the fantasy tilted his head, and through his forehead that was soaked in cold sweat, he met Wen You's bewildered eyes: "Director Wen, do you still remember what those papers are?"

Of course Wen Er remembers it.

If he wants to expand his personal laboratory, he must publish papers of sufficient value, but the surface of the electron storm has almost been studied.

Wen Er took a shortcut.

He asked Luo Ran to enter the middle area of the electronic storm for detection, send the data directly back to him, and at the same time delete all records in the database.

This operation requires temporarily unlocking the protection system of the database, which will expose the terminal to certain risks, but he must do it - the middle area of the electronic storm is much more dangerous than the surface area, and is strictly prohibited by the Ministry of Science.The red thread that explorers touch.

Wen Er is very good at drilling loopholes. His explanation of the source of the paper's data is that "the detector used a homemade instrument in violation of regulations. Before the instrument was destroyed by the electronic storm, it briefly touched part of the middle layer and transmitted back some relevant data."

...This explanation certainly makes sense.

"Of course this explanation makes sense."

As if she knew what he was thinking, "Pu Ying" continued slowly: "But we don't rule out another possibility. For the paper, you compiled a set of data...and made up a story for this set of data."

"Pu Ying" spoke in a low voice: "Fabricated data, falsified papers, academic misconduct..."

Wen Er sternly said: "Shut up!"

Wen Er's career and efforts over the years have been at the General Scientific Research Institute. He knows the consequences of these crimes better than anyone else. His eyes turned blood red: "I didn't, I can prove it myself-"

His voice stopped abruptly.

"Pu Ying" didn't even need to bother to refute, he had quickly realized one thing.

To prove that these data are not fabricated, Luo Ran must come out in person to testify for his thesis.

But once Luo Ran is asked to testify, the illegal fact that he asked the detector to enter the middle area will be exposed.

This is an inescapable logical dead end.

As long as anyone questions his thesis, this deadlock will be set in motion.If you dig deeper, you may even uncover the illegal operations he used to unlock the database protection system and expose the terminal...

Wen Er stood still.

He suddenly connected the whole thread.

He couldn't say a word. His whole body seemed to have been penetrated by an ice pick, and the blood all over his body was condensed into sharp ice.

If he moved even a little bit, these ice particles would penetrate his blood vessels.

...He forgot the most fatal thing.

Four months ago, he illegally deleted data once.

When he illegally unlocked the terminal protection and deleted the data, this was just the most common illegal operation that was also common in other scientific research institutes.

It took so long that even the detectives who came to investigate would not go out of their way to look for an unmarked violation record among tens of thousands of operation records.

The terminals of the General Research Institute have not been illegally attacked for decades.

It only took Wen Er less than 10 seconds to delete those pieces of data. He didn't think anyone would notice these few seconds.

That terminal has been encrypted and strictly protected all year round. No matter how hard you attack it, it will be in vain.

How could a hacker record the terminal's data on a whim at exactly that time, sneak in when he was operating illegally, and suddenly steal half of the data after lying dormant for four months?

...how could it be?

Wen You looked at the personality hidden in Luo Ran's body. Fear finally appeared in his eyes, and he slowly loosened his grip on Luo Ran's collar.

It was obviously him who imprisoned Luo Ran, and he was the one who blocked all channels for Luo Ran to seek help from the outside world.

It was obviously him who destroyed Luo Ran from the foundation. Seeing Luo Ran's personality dissociate and collapse bit by bit, he made Luo Ran his own.

He didn't mind letting Luo Ran escape. His parents were Luo Ran's eternal death spot, and it was impossible for Luo Ran to escape on his own.Sooner or later, Luo Ran will figure out that as long as he runs away once, he will destroy him even more completely.

He thought it was foolproof enough, that Luo Ran would not have any chance to resist.

He never thought that this new, unknown, terrifying shadow would appear in Luo Ran's body.

…

But how on earth did this shadow use his own hands to tear open the last crack in the confinement and lock him in a dilemma with a few pieces of fluttering data?

Wen Er stood in a daze in cold sweat.

It wasn't until the harsh life level monitoring alarm sounded that he was brought back to reality.

Luo Ran's body lay motionless on the experimental bed.

No more words were said that were enough to drive him crazy. Those eyes closed at some point. The alarm was blaring, and Luo Ran's body no longer had any breathing fluctuations.

He made a mistake in his busy schedule and injected Luo Ran with an overdose of sedatives, then forcibly woke Luo Ran up.

These have exceeded the limit that Luo Ran's body can bear, and the appearance of "Pu Ying" has obviously accelerated the speed of this collapse.

"No...you can't die!"

Wen You rushed over. He was already in a hurry. He flattened Luo Ran's body and pressed his chest hard: "Come back to life! You are still useful. Come back to me and testify for me. You said that the data you gave me isreal……"

"Director Wen!"

There was a stern shouting from behind him, and someone rushed up and held him down firmly: "What are you doing?!"

Wen Er was controlled by someone and was still struggling desperately: "Didn't you see that he is dead?"

Wen Er clearly heard the alarm sound of Luo Ran's heart stopping. He turned his head stiffly, with a trance and ferocious look on his face: "I'm saving him, he can't die, he can't die now... He is still useful, I want him to live.come over……"

The people who rushed in looked at each other, frowned, and pressed him harder against the iron cabinet holding the medicine.

Wen You couldn't break free of those powerful restraints. He was breathing heavily, and his hot face pressed against the iron cabinet, which made him tremble violently due to the ice.

The vision in front of me gradually became clearer.

Wen You was stunned for a few seconds, and suddenly her eyes widened in shock.

Luo Ran curled up on the hospital bed.

There were several people protecting Luo Ran, and it could be seen that Luo Ran was not in a good condition. His clothes were torn apart by him, his face was as white as snow, and his body was shaking slightly——

Luo Ran is trembling, but Luo Ran is still alive.

"Pu Ying" had disappeared. Luo Ran was helped to lie down. He was too weak. He barely answered a few questions and soon fell asleep again.

Someone was arranging Luo Ran's clothes, and the medical staff was using the equipment in the observation room to monitor Luo Ran's physical data.

Those data are not good, but every item proves that Luo Ran is just malnourished and lacks good care, and his life is not in danger for the time being.

The piercing vital sign monitoring alarm just now was like a ridiculous and weird hallucination.

Wen Er's eyes widened in fear.

…

Yu Tang returned to the sea of consciousness.

The system held up the 24-channel stereo echo loudspeaker, and just turned off the repeated alarm, and happily went over: "Host! We -"

"It's not over yet." Yu Tang said, "Quick, where is my poor student who is old-fashioned and warm-hearted?"

system:"……"

system:"?"

"it works."

Yu Tang: "Give me the basic data and just change into the clothes of a researcher at a scientific research institute."

System: "...Okay."

Yu Tang pulled the computer from the sea of consciousness and typed on the keyboard quickly.

Wen You guessed right. The Pu family suddenly made this video call to him, and it was indeed not just to apologize to him, but also to hear about the latest research progress on Pu Ying's condition.

Pu Sicun was entrusted by the military department.

Many years ago, when Wen Yougang was doing electron storm research with his mentor, there was an accident.

At that time, people's understanding of electronic storms was still rudimentary, and the research was judged to be a high-risk level, and the military was responsible for protecting the safety of researchers.The result of that accident was that an entire special operations team of the military fell into an electronic storm.

Shortly after that accident, Wen published his first paper.

Based on a large amount of detailed basic data, that paper systematically analyzed for the first time the subtle differences in the frequency of the remaining electron pulses after humans were involved in an electron storm.

This discovery greatly advanced the Ministry of Science’s research on person identification systems. Wen Er himself was invited by a research institute directly under the Ministry of Science because of this paper.

"The military has always been opposed to this matter...especially the families of those who died."

The system just went to learn about the specific situation and reported to Yu Tang: "They have been complaining, believing that Wen You deliberately concealed the predicted trajectory of the electronic storm at that time, which indirectly led to the possibility of the sacrifice of the special operations team."

The system said: "They suspected that Wen Er had confirmed that the electronic storm would pass by at that time, but did not give timely warning to the military's special operations team."

Yu Tang had already changed the poor student's new appearance, pressed the temporarily generated confirmation button, and redeemed a bottle of Erguotou from the mall: "Is there any relevant plot in the original work?"

"Yes." The system said, "It's just that it has never been confirmed... There is no evidence. The Ministry of Science prefers to believe that this was an accident."

System: "In the second half of the original work, Luo's father went around to appeal for Luo Ran, but was not secretly eliminated by Wen You. This was also because he received secret support and protection from the military."

But this time, the theft of the terminal database triggered a series of subsequent changes.

Pu Ying returned to the imperial capital and wanted to apply for further investigation authority from the security department, but was not approved, but attracted the attention of the military.

The reason why Pu Sicun suddenly contacted Wen You was because he wanted to give Wen You a chance to get proof and commitment that could convince the military.

Yu Tang: "He didn't expect that Wen Er would completely mess up the whole thing."

"Yes." The system said, "No one has any reason to stop the military this time. Those people who rushed in just now are all the military's special operations teams."

Yu Tang was multitasking. While listening to the system's report, he controlled the temporarily generated poor researcher to find a cup and pour Erguotou into it.

"They didn't intend to take action immediately, but there is evidence that Wen Er was trying to harm the electronic storm victims who appeared in the video."

The system said: "They had emergency action rights and rushed in to rescue the host. The iron-bone stool legs we prepared were not used...the host?"

System: "Host, what are you doing?"

The system reminded Yu Tang in a low voice: "Host, we can't poison the protagonist directly..."

"No poison, give Wen Er some wine to drink."

Yu Tang: "Make sure the alcohol concentration in his body is greater than or equal to 200 milligrams per liter... No need to help, I will do it myself."

system:"……"

Its host is indifferent to many things, but there are also some places where serious problems can easily arise if offended.

For example, people have questioned their work ability and professional skills.

Yu Tang used hallucinogens to turn into the "Pu Ying" in Luo Ran's body. When confronting Wen Er, the system deliberately took the time to go back and check Yu Tang's information before he came to the affectionate spare tire department.

The last original protagonist who dared to question Yu Tang's professional ability was bought by Yu Tang from his ancestral family company. Starting from the bottom, he is now only 4.9 million short of an annual salary of 5 million.

The system quietly landed on Yu Tang's shoulders, and he cautiously turned off his own speaker just to be on the safe side.

…

In reality, Wen Er was handcuffed and closely monitored.

The military was not as scrupulous as the Ministry of Security. It did not politely inquire and investigate. It reported Wen You's mental condition to its superiors and directly searched Wen You's personal laboratory.

Wen You couldn't move, and the biting coldness of the handcuffs made him gradually calm down.

He looked at the figures rummaging through the boxes and cabinets, closed his eyes forcefully, and calmed his mind.

...The military can't do anything to him.

Long before the investigation team arrived, he carefully inspected the personal laboratory of the general research institute and dealt with all hidden dangers.

The paper experimental records have been destroyed long ago. The key to the computer is very safe. No one can open it except himself. Forced cracking will only start the program and delete all the contents inside.

Even if there are problems with the data in the paper he published, as long as no scientists raise questions, nothing will happen for the time being.

The military had no arrest warrant and could only hold him for a few hours at most.As soon as the military lifted its control over him, he immediately contacted the journal and applied to withdraw the articles.

It was said that there was a mistake. After checking, it was found that the data returned by those instruments was wrong.

He is already well-known in the field of electronic storms. If something goes wrong this time, someone will definitely pick him up and criticize him.But he just made an unintentional mistake, and those papers were just normal academic discussions... How could academic discussions not make mistakes?

Wen Er tried his best to blink away the cold sweat dripping into his eyes.

That shadow was meant to disrupt his mind and prevent him from thinking about more important things.

He had to think about it as soon as possible, how to explain the blood marks on Luo Ran's wrist, how to explain that he took the initiative to show a shabby clinic in the video communication... how to explain that he almost pressed Luo Ran alive.

These behaviors are illogical.

It was precisely because of the illogical logic and it looked too much like someone had deliberately framed him that the military had no way to deal with him for the time being.

Wen Er thought hard, and his mind became a mess.

...Who is setting him up?

Who wants to frame him, who can frame him?

That shadow hidden in Luo Ran's body?But that shadow was restricted by Luo Ran's body and couldn't get out. How could it possibly do these things?

Wen Er was still trying desperately to think clearly, and his vision was blurred by cold sweat. He blinked several times before he realized that someone was standing in front of him.

He was dressed as a researcher from the General Research Institute. He was young and unfamiliar, and he was holding a cup in his hand.

Wen Er calmed down and asked in a hoarse voice, "What's the matter?"

"They said you were thirsty." The young researcher lowered his gaze, "Would you like something to drink?"

Wen Er frowned.

He is not familiar with the researchers below and may not have met all of them, so it is not surprising that he does not recognize their faces.

But this tone... he felt inexplicably familiar.

The young researcher showed him the cup in his hand.

Wen You didn't feel it at first. Looking at the transparent liquid in the cup, thirst burned in his throat and he suddenly felt it.

He had sweated too much and talked too much to the "Pu Ying" in the illusion, and now he was indeed very thirsty.

Wen You's throat had begun to smoke. He still felt strange, but he swallowed it unconsciously.

The young researcher looked at him and put the cup to his mouth.

Before Wen You had time to react, a strong smell of alcohol had already hit his chest and made him feel heavy.

Wen You suddenly raised his head and shouted sternly: "Come on -"

He opened his mouth, and the liquor, which was highly choking, poured straight in.

The cry for help seemed to be swallowed up by something strangely. For the first time, Wen Er experienced the fear and helplessness that arose in the choking suffocation of Luo Ran when he locked her up in the empty villa and used those methods to "discipline" her..

The burning white wine burned its way down the throat.

Wen You's consciousness gradually faded, and he tried his best to tell if there was something else that had been poured into it - but soon he figured out why it had to be alcohol.

Only alcohol can complete that logic.

he's drunk.

This was the excuse Wen You used to fool Luo Ran - he was drunk and not clear-headed, so he did something wrong to Luo Ran and mistook Luo Ran for Pu Ying.

Now, this excuse has been completely returned to Wen Er himself.

He was drunk and not clear-headed.

So he forcibly took Luo Ran home from the hospital with handcuffs.

So he exposed the shabby clinic on a video call.

So after being frightened and sobering up a little, he urgently hung up the communication, attacked Pu Sicun's cell phone, and took Luo Ran back to the main scientific research institute... He was so drunk that he was so drunk that he even thought Luo Ran had lost his vital signs.

Wen You's body softened and he slumped on the chair, his gray eyes filled with despair.

Even if the Wen family comes forward in person, it is impossible to save him from such a serious scandal.

This was just the beginning. When he lost his identity as the head of the General Scientific Research Institute, he also lost control of the entire General Scientific Research Institute.Everything that has been covered up will be uncovered one after another and exposed to the broad daylight again.

The Ministry of Science will no longer favor him against the pressure of the military. Once he is dismissed...he cannot think about the more likely and serious consequences.

Wen Er closed her eyes in despair.

No matter what the truth of the matter is.

He will never be able to find any excuse to make others believe that he is innocent.
