CH 142 Knowing From The Beginning
He Qianjian's unexpected results left the two families in the study at a loss as to what to say.
The corner of Jiang Zhuo's mouth twitched, he glanced at He Yanfeng and Yang Yun and his wife, and felt that he was not suitable to speak. But Yang Si didn't care much about He Qianjian's grades at all, after seeing it, it left no trace behind, and she was still very happy for her son's achievements.
He Yanfeng wanted to talk, but one question after another popped up in his heart. He wanted to ask too much and didn't know where to start. Moreover, He Qianjian's achievement was actually a blow to him. No matter from which aspect, every new thing that emerged from He Qianjian proved that he failed in his education.
In the end, it was Yang Yun who spoke first. She stood up and walked in front of He Qianjian who was standing alone. Her tone was somewhat comforting but also full of doubts: "Qian Jian, is it possible that the results of this exam were entered incorrectly?"
He Qianjian thought of this method when he knew that he had messed up on the day of the college entrance examination——have the System help to directly change the scores entered into the school system for the college entrance examination. Changing grades covertly and without anyone finding out was a trivial matter for the System.
However, not long after the System promised to do so, the code it had been analyzing and dismantling since the college entrance examination finally yielded in results, and the results pointed to Jiang Chen. With its ability at analysis, the System naturally quickly realized that the interceptor in the mathematics competition at that time and the interceptor in the college entrance examination were definitely the same person.
When this result was obtained, the System directly told He Qianjian that it could not change the results of the college entrance examination.
He Qianjian was already full of confidence, and was full of expectations for his future life and Jiang Chen knowing that he could only be second in the ranks, but at this moment the System reneged at the last minute. When the System failed to solve He Qianjian's problems in a timely manner, and between doubts and quarrels, the relationship between the System and He Qianjian was no longer as strong as before, and there were often situations where the System lost contact with He Qianjian. This time, it was even during the college entrance examination that he paid special attention to.
So, when he heard the System tell him coldly and directly in an irrefutable tone that the college entrance examination scores could not be changed, and that he was stuck with the scores he got, He Qianjian almost went crazy at that time.
And this was not the first time the System has broken its promise. Thinking of the System disappearing at the most important moments for him, He Qianjian was full of complaints and even resentment towards the System bound to him. He repeatedly questioned and verbally abused the System in the privacy of his room, and demanded it to help him change his scores.
The System had long grown impatient with him. At first it just didn't answer him, and later it even blocked him. Just when He Qianjian went from resentment to fear, thinking that he would be completely abandoned by the System, going from abuse to flattery to pleading, the System once again appeared.
This time, the System directly told him the reason why he couldn't modify his scores——someone knew his real scores, and it was very likely that this person chose to block the System's signal at the two times of the math competition and the college entrance examination. It was not accidental, but intentional.
Regarding the ability of the System, no one in this world knew it better than He Qianjian. It was precisely because of this that He Qianjian was even more disbelieving that Jiang Chen had the strength to create technology that could compete with the System. He was dubious at the beginning, and if not for the System showing him the monitoring of the meeting between Jiang Chen and several national leaders who could only be seen on TV. He still couldn't believe that a child under the age of twenty could have such a high achievement.
So, knowing that Jiang Chen might have developed a system that could compete with the System, He Qianjian fell into extreme panic and resentment, but at the same time, he was more afraid.
He was very afraid. If Jiang Chen knew about the existence of the System, if Jiang Chen deliberately affected his exam, would Jiang Chen already know the real situation behind the two of them being switched at birth?
If Jiang Chen knew everything and he possessed such a powerful ability, how would he choose to take revenge on him?
This unknown possibility hung like a dark cloud in He Qianjian's mind. He began thinking and guessing in paranoia all the time. He couldn't sleep peacefully at night. He was afraid that when he opened his eyes, Jiang Chen would expose all his lies. At that time, he would not only lose the He familyx he would also attract their resentment and suppression. Or it would be even more serious, directly defeating the System and leaving him with nothing.
It wasn't until the System couldn't stand He Qianjian's panic all day long, and told him that it had a way to destroy the system created by Jiang Chen, and that it would make Jiang Chen pay the price, that He Qianjian finally felt relieved, if barely.
But the threat and pressure Jiang Chen brought to him still existed. For example, when Yang Yun spoke, everyone looked in this direction, and Jiang Chen did the same, but He Qianjian ignored everyone's expressions. He could only see Jiang Chen's gloating and ridicule.
"I..." He Qianjian couldn't suppress the hatred in his heart, and he clenched his teeth. In fact, he had clenched his teeth since he entered the study. At this time, being watched by everyone, he was so embarrassed he seemed to even smell the blood in his mouth. His hand by his side trembled slightly, and his voice trembled along with it: "I was not feeling well at the time, maybe due to the dizziness, I couldn't read the questions clearly, so I finished the exam like this."
Yang Yun frowned slightly, not quite believing it: "You also said that you were uncomfortable that day, but when you were at your grandpa's house, didn't you say that you did well in the exam?"
"I said the first two were fine." He Qianjian said, "The second day's exams were not very good."
Yang Yun didn't know whether to believe it or not, and it was useless to talk about it now. She pondered: "With your score...there are not many schools you can go to. Are you going to repeat a year or something else?"
He Qianjian was absolutely unwilling to repeat a year and retake the exam. Who knew if Jiang Chen would repeat the old tricks again next time.
He glanced at He Yanfeng, paused for a moment, and said his plan since he knew that Jiang Chen was the mastermind behind it: "I want to go abroad."
Yang Yun was taken aback, even Jiang Zhuo and Yang Si looked over, and He Yanfeng confirmed, "You want to go abroad?"
"Yes." He Qianjian gathered up his courage and nodded.
This was the best result after his deliberation. Even though the System said there was a way to deal with Jiang Chen, and he wanted to take revenge on Jiang Chen, but he was more afraid of losing everything, and he didn't want to face those former classmates and the rich second generation in the same circle after knowing his college entrance examination results. He knew just what kind of mocking faces they would reveal.
After much deliberation, going abroad was his best way out.
With the existence of the System, he didn't have to worry about not being able to make money at all. Without the existence of Jiang Chen, it would not be a problem for him to use the System to obtain a high diploma. As the System said, with it, he didn't have to waste time on the He family at all. Before, he couldn't give up the He family because he wanted a good family background too much, but the System said that the He family had now begun to investigate what he did in the past, and even a lot of things were found out. The more things the He family found out, the worse it would be for him. It was better to leave early.
After he became successive and earned enough money, he would have a better chance of winning when he came back to deal with Jiang Chen or even the He family.
After He Qianjian experienced repeated blows, he finally regained his senses, but the System who didn't care about the relationship between He Qianjian and the He family, and always urged him to go out in the world before, now didn't want him to leave the He family.
The reason for this was simple. The Changjiang system was the only existence in the entire world that could compete with it. It must figure out everything about it and upgrade itself by attacking Jiang Chen's system.
In order to convince He Qianjian, the System assured He Qianjian that it would definitely take back everything for him, and help He Qianjian take revenge on Jiang Chen in the way he wanted.
But He Qianjian didn't agree with the System. At this moment, when Yang Yun asked him about his plans for the future, he just blurted it out.
He Yanfeng never thought that He Qianjian would want to go abroad, but after hearing what he said, he rejected the possibility without even thinking about it. Putting aside the fact that the He family did not allow their children and grandchildren to study abroad, or whether He Qianjian was still considered a member of the He family. What He Qianjian did before had not been investigated clearly, so it was impossible for him to let him go at this time.
"Why?" He Qianjian thought that He Yanfeng might not agree, but when the plan came to nothing, he was inevitably a little anxious and dissatisfied, but it didn't show on his face: "I'm no longer a descendant of the He family, and the family rule about not going abroad can't limit me."
He Yanfeng said indifferently: "The serious crime team suspects that you are related to Jiang Chen's attempted hit and run case in Chengyang Square, so they applied for an exit restriction order. Even if we agreed, you would not be allowed to go abroad."
When the words fell to the ground, almost everyone showed a look of surprise.
Yang Si was the most serious. She stood up straight away and walked to He Yanfeng and He Qianjian in three big steps. "He Qianjian is related to that incident?"
He Yanfeng sighed in his heart. In fact, when he got the story from the police officer who investigated the case two days ago, he didn't want to expose it. Firstly, there was no real evidence for the matter. The second was that now was not a good time to say this.
However, instead of waiting until He Qianjian refused to listen to dissuasion and was intercepted at the airport when he tried to exit the country and lost all face and then made it known to everyone, it was better to tell him now, and He Yanfeng also wanted to use this matter to test He Qianjian, whether he was really involved in that incident or not.
He Yanfeng spoke calmly, but Yang Si was not calm at all. Jiang Chen had always been her bottom line. The previous kidnapping incident had already made her extremely nervous about Jiang Chen's safety, and the chasing and attempted run over by the van made her even more nervous for a while. She was in a state of extreme nervousness all the time. The police had yet to find out the truth, so she was even more worried about Jiang Chen's safety, though she didn't show it because she didn't want Jiang Chen to worry.
At this time, hearing that He Qianjian might have been involved in the incident back then, her whole body tensed up like a taut string. After asking, she immediately walked in front of Jiang Chen, with a protective and vigilant attitude that was obvious to all beyond words.
Not only was she wary of He Qianjian, but also of the He family.
Jiang Zhuo was also shocked, but he was not as nervous as his wife, and kept calm. He knew very well that the He family could not be involved in this matter, but He Yanfeng's words made him think of a possibility——did He Qianjian know his own identity from the beginning?
