Chapter 371: Maybe
The rising sun shines through the tall birch trees and reflects the light on the spread out of the book, the boy with a few freckles on his nose turned a page, and looked at the police car under the tree outside the window as usual, just when he was about to turn back and continue reading, a woman dressed in delicate professional clothes entered the sight, and walked towards the door of her house, and the boy who was reading the book and was a little sleepy suddenly came to the spirit: "This is looking for my mother? When did my mother know such a rich man?"
The thought flashed through his mind, and the boy quickly got up and opened the bedroom door, leaning on the wooden staircase railing and looking down, and a faint voice came out: "-Well, he will see me when he sees this, and I was also entrusted to give him something-I'm sorry, I need to give it to him personally, of course you can watch from the side-"
"Oh, you're really causing trouble, okay, I don't want to get in trouble, the police over there have already seen it, I'll call him for you, but if he says he doesn't know you, then I'll call the police and let the police take care of this-"
The familiar nagging sound came, the boy already knew what was going on below, the delicately dressed woman was actually looking for him, the surprised boy thought of this, and a voice that had not appeared for a long time sounded below: "Nick, a lady came to you, saying that she was helping your friend deliver something to youβ"
"Oh, Mom, I'm coming~"
Only three months after squatting in the juvenile correctional center, Kevin Nick was very strange that he would have friends to send things, a few faces flashed in front of him, he came forward to resist all the federal charges, and then someone sent things only a few days after he came out, it must be these guys, thinking about going down the stairs like this, he found that the woman in front of him seemed to be different from what he thought, how could that group of poor bastards invite such a woman to deliver things, his immature face showed vigilance, swept the police car outside the door not far away, and said: " Well, hello, did Philip let you come?"
"Hello, Mr. Kevin Nick, I am Lin Zhi'e, who is safe in the Rubik's Cube, and I was entrusted by Mr. S to give this thing to you, and at the same time, there is a sentence S wants me to convey to you, the magic cube you are holding now in your hand was invented by Mr. S when he was seventeen years old, he said that you and he are the same kind of people, but you don't seem to have anyone to guide you, so you used your talent in strange places, and now you have also paid the price for doing strange things, including the time you will live under police supervision for a year in the future.
Mr. S said that the reason why the judge has set you this year is because after the supervision of this year has passed, you have reached the age of eighteen, and if you do the strange things that you did before, then you will not be treated as a juvenile juvenile offender, but as an eighteen-year-old adult under the Constitution, and those people will send you to jail, and the punishment will no longer be in the juvenile correctional facility, but with those dangerous violent criminal offendersβ"
Lin Zhi'e's voice was not alarmed, and the expression of Kevin Nick, who was holding the magic cube, only changed slightly, but Mrs. Mitnick, who was standing next to her, changed her face greatly, and glanced at the police officer who came out of the police car on the side of the road in the distance, Rao was surprised by what this woman said, but she also knew that she could not attract the attention of the police at this time.
Because she had already thought about what the woman she had never met had said, that Nick would be eighteen years old after a year of supervision, Mrs. Mitnick remembered the judges who wanted to sentence Nick severely, and immediately opened her mouth with a worried face: "Oh, Miss Lin, please come and sit in the house, you will attract the attention of the police if you stand in the doorway-"
"Thank you!"
Lin Zhi'e followed Mrs. Mitnick's way into the living room, and there was a three-person sofa opposite a fifteen-inch black-and-white TV, but there seemed to be a hole in the armrest on it, and after thinking about it, she turned to look at Kevin, who was bowing his head next to him, and said: " Mr. S said that the reason why he thinks you are a kind of person is because he has done strange things in his youth with superhuman acumen in order to satisfy his own ideas, and has achieved unimaginable satisfaction in the past few years, but now he is in the same situation as you are now, and he is punished for what he did in the first place-"
Nick, who was pinching the magic cube, heard this with disapproval, and quickly raised his head with a curious face: "What did he do?"
"He had used strange means to assemble a vast network, and thus made an astronomical amount of money from this network, which exceeded the level of $40 million at the current exchange rate, and this network was illegal in the environment in which Mr. S lived. β
Lin Zhi'e tried her best to recall the narrative in her mind, looking at Kevin's little face who was already sluggish, although she didn't think that this young man would reach Shen Tiejun's current height, but these were not in her consideration, she only needed to be responsible for saying what she had to say: "So even if he is now a state-level high-ranking official, he is responsible for the strange things he did at the beginning, and now he is "locked up" like you It was in this state that he discovered that there was a teenager in the far reaches of the world who was repeating his path, and that was you, Mr. Kevin Nick. β
Mrs. Mitnick was already stunned, holding her arms full of shock, and she couldn't help the curiosity in her heart when she heard this: "This honorable lady, can you ask how old is Mr. S?"
Mr. S is 21 years old, three years older than Kevin Mitnick, he received his master's degree at the age of 18, he was admitted to the highest college for a doctorate in the same year, and he is now a senior state official before graduating, but he is now suspended from his post for investigation because of the strange things he did when he was 17 years old. β
Lin Zhi'e calmly recounted, his gaze swept over Mrs. Mitnick's shocked face, fell on Kevin, who was also full of surprise, and said: "So when he learned about Mr. Kevin, he had the idea of wanting to get to know you, he said that this society is a group society, and no matter how strong an individual's ability is, he can't beat the collective efforts of everyone.
You and Mr. S are like Frank Abaynale, who has been wanted by the FBI for his extremely talented role as a pilot, a doctor, and a lawyer, and has traveled to dozens of countries around the world to defraud more than $2.5 million with fake checks.
However, it didn't take long for him to be arrested by the FBI, and dozens of countries were to extradite him to face punishment, and in Mr. S's opinion, if you continue to use strange methods to satisfy your ideas, you will still have a year to go before you are imprisoned - and then your mother will lose her only hope - her son. β
"So, what should I do, and what is Mr. S doing now?"
Kevin was a little panicked, what he did before was not so much hacking, but rather sabotage to prove himself and vent, just like a child in early love will use bullying to get the attention of the crush - this is often counterproductive, but there is no teacher to teach in emotional processing, so in his previous life, Kevin was called "the little boy lost in the online world", a bear child who only destroys venting.
"Mr. S is now receiving the same punishment as you were for strange things, but he is different from you, the magic cube in your hand was invented by him, and he used this invented toy to obtain 15% of the shares of Rubik's Cube Co., Ltd., because Rubik's Cube Co., Ltd. was established at that time, and now the company has grown into an international enterprise, and this is why I can represent him, Mr. S said, you can use strange means on the positive side. β
Lin Zhi'e looked at Kevin's expression silently, but she knew that children of this age were still minors, and everything she wanted to do had the consent of her guardian, so she turned her head to look at Mrs. Mitnick next to her who was full of worries: "Or Mr. Kevin, like Frank Abaynal, was caught after committing a lot of evil deeds and became an expert in FBI financial crimes, of course, this is the best result, because Mr. Kevin's sabotage is not useful, such as how to check the authenticity of a check- β
"I know the results of Frank Abainal, who is now working for the FBI as an anti-financial crime expert, and I saw it in the FBI database, and it was because I saw this that they found out that they had discovered me, as you, Mr. S, said, they knew about my sabotage, but they caught me not because of my negligence, but because I was betrayed, betrayed by someone I believed!"
Kevin suddenly became a little irritable, his fair face turned red because of anger, Lin Zhi'e finally showed curiosity on her face, she came to this person to say these words, and she simply accepted Shen Tiejun's instructions, as for what this person had done before, this was the first time she had heard of it, her mind flashed the police car on the side of the road outside the door, and she began to understand what this person would do, but fortunately she heard some words at that time, and then said: " Even if there is no betrayal, as you said, your strange behavior has attracted the attention of the FBI, and they just need to wait for you to continue to do strange things, even if it is a day or two, a month or two, a year or two without catching you.
But Mr. Frank is the same as you, at the beginning you all succeeded, freely traveling and having fun in dozens of countries around the world, until the day you were caught by the FBI, if there was no incident of betrayal and betrayal, do you think the FBI would not have caught you?"
"It's-"
Kevin's face was hesitant, this was a question he had never considered, if before he was betrayed, or even before the woman who suddenly ran out said something about Frank, he thought that he would not be able to be caught, and now he had only come out of the juvenile detention center where he had been squaat for three months, and there was a policeman guarding the gate to supervise him: "Maybe-"
"Mr. Kevin, you should be glad you were caught last year. β
Lin Zhi'e's momentum changed suddenly, she has been following Chu Dazhao's side, the momentum of the superior has smoked a lot, and now she has become the person in charge of a force, at this time it is almost the same as the chairman of Chu Dazhao, looking at the mother and son whose faces have changed gloomily, she opened her mouth with a proud face: "If you are arrested after the age of eighteen next year, or if you do something new and strange, you will be arrested in a few years or ten years, but these charges will not disappear, and then I am afraid that you will regret your youth and ignorance for the rest of your life!" And your mother will be old and gone!"
Lin Zhi'e's words pierced Kevin's heart like a sharp knife, and after his face changed greatly, he turned to look at his mother next to him, and after a while, he broke out in a cold sweat, just like all people of this age think, he is not afraid of regret, but he is afraid that his mother will be helpless after losing him, and then after hearing the voice of disgust before, it seems to have opened his mind:" Now that you are still a minor, according to the constitution, there is still a chance to reform your life, and this is also the words that Mr. S wants to give you, we are not alone in this world, because we have relatives who love us.
They have done so much for us, how can we do things that hurt them, make them sad, take care of ourselves and don't let them worry, that's what it is like to be a child, and to be there for them when they are too old to work and need our help, I feel like that's the most important thing in the world, Kevin. β
Kevin's mouth may have disappeared, his parents divorced when he was three years old, and he lived with his mother alone, and due to cultural restrictions, his mother's career options were not many, and his growth process was like a free-range one, of course, the mother and son depended on each other to deepen the relationship between the two from the other direction, and the psychological maturity was much higher than it seemed on the outside.
The FBI may not catch him, but once he is caught, just like this time sitting in the dock and watching his mother crying in the audience, Kevin feels that his heart is about to break, if he is sentenced to a few years or more than ten years this time, how sad and helpless should his mother be?
In his previous life, Kevin Nick had no one to guide him, and he was ignorant and did strange things that excited him, and finally became the number one criminal on the FBI's wanted list, hiding like a gopher in Tibet for many years, but in the end he was dug up, thrown into prison and squatted in prison for a few years before he repented - after being released from prison, he became a famous security consultant, and the motto for new hackers was: "Don't go my old way!"
Kevin's mind was not in a state, but Mrs. Mitnick reacted quickly, she heard it from beginning to end to now, and she also knew that the person in front of her who came over was not a psychiatrist for Kevin, and hugged the son next to him and spoke: "Miss Lin, thank you for being able to explain Kevin like this, he is a child now, and he will only judge those things based on his own preferences, just like if you lock the box will attract the attention of others, if you don't lock it, few people will think about it, I don't know Mr. S, do you have any other requirements?"
Sighing secretly in her heart, Lin Zhi'e finally heard what she wanted, took out the book from her bag, and said: "Since the court requires Mr. Kevin not to touch wireless devices such as computers and radios, Mr. S said that during this time, Mr. Kevin can learn about the current technological development." β
