Lin Jie died on the road before he could be admitted to the hospital. Wen Lixing, who was covered in blood, locked herself in her bedroom after returning home, and did not eat or drink for three days. He needed a lot of time to think, to digest, and to bear the shock of Lin Jie's death for himself.

Why is his homeland, his countrymen, willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of the so-called continuation of humanity? This question is something that the former Wen Lixing couldn't figure out no matter what. His brilliant brain can solve most of the world's mysteries, but it can't.

But now he figured it out.

He found the answer from Lin Jie. It is to guard, to leave the hope of life to the people you care about most.

Wen Lixing's eyes swelled with heat again, and two lines of wet tears slid down his cheeks and soaked into the corners of his mouth, bringing unspeakable bitterness, but making him laugh suddenly with understanding.

It took him more than seventy hours to think about it before he finally figured out that Lin Jie probably loved him. This belated realization stung his self-proclaimed cold heart and left a deep trace.

Wen Lixing covered her eyes and lay quietly in the soft chair, as if she was asleep.

But 7480 knew that his mind was more active than ever. The various magnetic fields that burst out of his mind nearly disrupted 7480's core program.

Wen Lixing was reminiscing about the past, and those memories that were filled with gunsmoke and blood were once reinforced and sealed in the depths of his mind layer by layer.

He remembered his homeland and compatriots who had been reduced to smoke and dust under the bombardment of nuclear bombs; remembered the scene when the captain pushed himself into the only rescue pod as a small child when the ship fell; reminds me of more than ten years of displacement; I also remembered those survivor bases built on Mars.

He left them a whole new kind of metal, and if the scientists were smart enough, they could build a spaceship in about two years.

Two years is enough to consume the few resources on Mars, and humanity will die en masse. At the moment when the spacecraft was built, the original surviving population of more than 150 million people was lucky to survive 20 or 30 million.

And this result was already expected by him.

In order to take revenge, Wen Lixing deliberately leaked his manuscript with major errors to Poincaré? John, who led him to build some Dyson sphere, to exhaust all the resources that humanity had brought from the earth; Then, when all the dreams were about to come to naught, he appeared again as the savior.

He single-handedly killed 120 million survivors, and this number was exactly equal to the number of martyrs in China.

He is not a savior, on the contrary, he is a demon who crawled out of hell, and his life's pursuit is only one, and that is revenge.

Even if he took so many lives, he didn't feel the slightest guilt in his heart. The reason why the Chinese people were willing to sacrifice at the beginning was because the Federation promised that they would take the old, weak, women and children of the Chinese country to Mars safely.

But what did the Federalists end up doing? They secretly released the fuel of Huaguo's spaceship, leaving most of the people dead in the flames, and refused to rescue the only spacecraft that escaped the fire. And they did such a heinous thing, just because there were the most survivors in Huaguo, and they were afraid that they would unite to form a big force and threaten the security of the Federation.

It is such a ridiculous reason that more than 100 million Chinese people died tragically.

So, how could Wen Lixing show mercy to the Federation's subordinates?

The Federation will never know who is responsible for their killing, and after successfully settling on the planet GJ536B, they will worship Wen Lixing as a god and build statues and even temples for him.

Wen Lixing smiled lowly, but many tears flowed from her fingers.

He actually had an even more brutal plan back then.

In calculating Poincaré, he envisioned the complete collapse of the Dyson sphere and the total extinction of the human race. He's not going to leave any hell new metal material behind. He wants to kill all the alien humans on Mars and bury his own people.

But as he edited the video of his revenge, the voices of his compatriots kept coming to his ears, and they repeated the phrase over and over again—may our sacrifice be exchanged for the longevity of humanity......

So at the last moment, Wen Lixing left a way to live.

He still couldn't figure out what he was thinking, but now, the answer to that question didn't matter. He was glad that he had not exterminated the human race, not because of the discovery of his conscience, but because, if he had done that, he would feel ashamed to think of his compatriots and Lin Jie now.

People always want to protect something when they are alive, which is the meaning of life.

Wen Lixing couldn't figure this out before, because he preferred destruction to protect him.

But now, he clenched his hands, trying to grasp the inexplicable feeling.

When he stared at his fist and was stunned, Chang Dongming's voice came from outside the door, "Wen Lixing, Mr. Yao asked you to go to the company for a meeting immediately." The words fell and knocked impatiently on the door a few times.

Zhuang Dahai's voice also came: "He has not eaten or drunk for the past few days, his body is very weak, and he has no time to go to meetings." Don't bother him. ”

Chang Dongming's tone was very impulsive: "If he doesn't want to go, he has to go." Mr. Yao has taken office, and as the head of the R&D department, he must submit the work plan and performance report for this quarter as soon as possible. Mr. Yao waited for him for three days, which was enough to give him face. What does it mean that he doesn't answer the phone and doesn't reply to the text messages? ”

Zhuang Dahai's tone was also angry, "You know that Xiaoli was frightened and pulled him to work, what do you mean?" He's a minister, doesn't he have the power to take a few days off? ”

Chang Dongming suddenly sneered, "Minister? Maybe after today. Xinglin Group is now surnamed Yao, not Xuan, Lin Jie's descendants have been able to walk and scatter these days, and they have all been cleaned up by Mr. Yao. Guess who will be the next person to be fired? ”

Chang Dongming stepped up his knock on the door, and his voice was full of contempt, "Wen Lixing has a few catties and taels, you know best as a father." If Lin Jie hadn't taken a fancy to him, would he be where he is today? Mr. Yao spent a lot of money to hire a team of experts from abroad, and they will soon replace Wen Lixing's team to become the backbone of our Xinglin's R&D. ”

"That's right," Chang Dongming stopped knocking on the door and smiled very gloatingly, "You hurry up and rent a cheap house outside, the property management fees here are too expensive, I'm afraid Wen Lixing can't afford it." Without Lin Jie as a backer, where can he find a job with an annual salary of 40 million? ”

Because the state protects Wen Lixing too closely, although his laboratory is affiliated with Xinglin Group, its operation is completely independent and information cannot be shared. So many people in Xinglin Group don't know what Wen Lixing is doing every day, and they still think he is a vase.

Zhuang Dahai was frightened by the bad news.

Chang Dongming knocked on the door harder and threatened, "Wen Lixing, if you don't go to the meeting today, you won't be able to work in the company tomorrow." Mr. Yao asked me to bring you a sentence, he said that he doesn't like to raise waste people, you can do it yourself. ”

The door, which had been closed, suddenly opened from the inside.

Wen Lixing stepped out of the darkness in a luxurious royal blue suit. After three days of self-isolation, he lost a lot of weight, his face was almost transparent, and his narrow eyes were more unfathomable than ever.

While arranging the cufflinks, he whispered to Wen Dahai, "Dad, I'm sorry, I've worried you these days." I went to the company to take care of some things and came back soon. You don't have to move the house, I'll help you buy a bigger one when I go back. ”

Wen Dahai sighed worriedly, and then ran to the kitchen to get him a box of lunch and asked him to take it to eat on the road. As for buying a bigger villa or something, he thought that his son was talking nonsense with a face.

Chang Dongming snorted a few times meaninglessly, and then he kept up with Wen Lixing.

"Take me to the funeral home first." After getting in the car, Wen Lixing gave the order as a matter of course.

Chang Dongming pretended not to hear it, and drove the car straight to the company.

Wen Lixing opened the car door and was about to step out, not caring that the car was still moving.

Chang Dongming was startled, hurriedly stepped on the brakes, turned around and shouted, "You're not afraid of death, are you?" Okay, I'll send you there! That's all you can do for a day. Without Lin Jie, who the will give you back? ”

Half an hour later, Wen Lixing was already standing in front of the black coffin, staring down at the man lying quietly in the white daisy. His face is still as handsome as before his death, and the two thick eyebrows that fly obliquely into his sideburns are completely stretched at the moment, and the smile at the corner of his mouth should be in harmony, as if he is having an unusually sweet dream. It's just that this dream is too long, and I can't wake up again in this life.

Wen Lixing looked at his face seriously for the first time, and the heat in his eyes kept surging up, and turned into bean-sized tears.

He hurriedly turned his head away so that tears would not fall on Lin Jie's face. It is said that in that case, Lin Jie's soul will be burned, and he will not be able to enter reincarnation.

Wen Lixing supported the two edges of the coffin with both hands, leaned down and whispered in Lin Jie's ear, "Thank you." Also, I will definitely protect what you leave behind. ”

Yes, guard everything related to Lin Jie, this is the answer he found after three days of contemplation. He couldn't think of anything he could do for this man who had ceased to exist.

He stared at the smiling sleeping face for a long time, until the tears in his eyes dried, until the dull pain in his heart slowed down, until there was no longer the slightest confusion in his mind, then he withdrew his hand and turned away.

Father Lin, Mother Lin, the old man, and the old lady stood on both sides and bowed their heads to him, and did not anger him because of this. The autopsy report given by the forensic doctor also showed that Lin Jie died of massive hemorrhage in his internal organs, and no one could see the bloody muzzle behind him except Wen Lixing.

The reason why the main god is called the main god probably comes from this ability to change the cause and effect of the world.

But Wen Lixing didn't have a little fear in her heart. On the contrary, when he walked out of the dark and cold funeral parlor, the light in his eyes was unprecedentedly determined.

More than an hour later, Wen Lixing pushed open the door of the conference room and walked unhurriedly to his seat.

The field was full of people, the first was Yao Xin, the new president of Xinglin Group, and on the left and right were his henchmen and major shareholders. He has no chips in his hands except for the 30% stake left by his brother.

Lin Jie originally occupied 45% of the shares of Xinglin Group and was the absolute majority shareholder. But a while ago, I didn't know what he was crazy about, and suddenly gave 15% of the shares to Wen Lixing for free, causing an uproar in the outside world.

In today's meeting, Yao Xin forced Wen Lixing to participate, for the sake of this 15% of the shares.

Seeing that the main target was coming, Yao Xin threw out a few folders and announced in a lofty voice, "Miss Wen, this is the employment contract of Dr. Al and his team. Starting today, they will be hired by Xinglin Group and will take over all your current jobs. Since you're not in a good state, then suspend you, I understand your feelings. ”

Let people take over Wen Lixing's laboratory first, force him to suspend him, then investigate the specific situation of the laboratory, look for illegal operations, and then send people to court, and the price of the out-of-court settlement is the 15% share. At that time, he will keep the price to a minimum.

This is Yao Xin's overall plan. He firmly believes that Wen Lixing has no real talent and learning, and he will definitely make mistakes in his work. As long as he grabs the other party's handle, all problems can be solved.

These unceremonious words made the conference room extraordinarily quiet.

Lin Pei looked at Wen Lixing worriedly. The rest of the people had a look of good fun.

Chang Dongming, who has been promoted to the president's secretary, lifted the frame of his glasses on the bridge of his nose to hide the ridicule in his eyes. Without real technology, Wen Lixing can't stay in Xinglin.

However, Wen Lixing, who was looked down upon by everyone, hooked the corners of her lips and smiled strangely.

He stretched out his arm, dragged the laptop of a shareholder next to him, exited all the pages, inserted a memory card he had brought into the card reader, and his fingertips crackled for a while, and finally turned the screen to everyone, and said in a casual tone, "I choose to suspend my job, and I also choose to stop selling patents to you." ”

Everyone didn't understand his words, but after carefully looking at the information on the screen, their brains exploded.

There are more than 3,000 patented technologies in the hands of Xinglin Group, of which 2,581 belong to Wen Lixing personally! The most basic nine patents are also signed by his name!

In other words, he has the absolute right to terminate all cooperation with Xinglin. Once Xinglin loses these patents he authorized, the 5G network that cost tens of billions of dollars to build will become a bunch of useless rags!

The aircraft carrier Xinglin Group, which can make the entire communications field shake three times by casually stomping its feet, can be wiped out overnight!

Snatching Wen Lixing's shares? Inexistent!

Forcing Wen Lixing to resign? That's even more fantastic!

In the end, everyone found out that the person who could control the life and death of Xinglin was not Yao Xin, not Lin Pei, not all the shareholders, but Wen Lixing, who they had always ignored.
