My autobiography is definitely not a tragedy!

Chapter 365: Chapter 243 Meng’s Spring and Autumn Annals_2

The middle-aged man who wept clutching the body turned white-haired overnight.

Years later, I caught a glimpse of this white-haired man on TV; it was during the awards ceremony for the country’s highest science and technology honor – his title read "Geneticist and Virologist."

The rumored reason behind the young man’s suicide was school bullying – since it was a suicide, the bullies were acquitted...

Looking at the notebook filled with the faces of naive boys and girls, I finally let out a sigh and slowly closed the laptop.

In the end, I am just a savior, not a judge.

...

With Zero’s monitoring, I avoided an accidental encounter with Han Li and began monitoring her as a special sample.

And Xu Jingsong made his move quicker than anticipated.

On the day I got my driver’s license, an assassin sent by Jingsong infiltrated Xu Bolin’s mansion.

However, having received an anonymous warning beforehand, Bolin successfully evaded an assassination attempt.

The assassin was caught on the spot. Though the mastermind behind the crime couldn’t be determined, from that moment on, the internal strife of the Xu family fiercely escalated!

Both sides incessantly aired their dirty laundry, sniping at each other.

Outsiders, not understanding the situation, watched in bewilderment as the two sides nearly came to blows, severely damaging the Xu Group...

When it rains, it pours – in July 2018, Jingsong’s Qinling project was ultimately dealt a heavy blow from above, and the Xu Group suffered massive losses.

At the beginning of 2019, "Magic City Fortress," led by "Nomadic Film," flopped miserably.

Amid the triple red lines and the real estate cold winter, finally, due to blind financing and a series of investment failures, "Big Bull Ventures," a P2P project secretly controlled by the Xu Group, quickly collapsed due to a financial crisis.

Cui Jizhong, the legal person of "Nomadic Film" associated with "Big Bull Ventures," was pushed to the forefront and clanged enter prison.

However, nearly 5 billion in funds, through a series of legal and illegal asset transfers, along with covert money and power trades, had long been pocketed by the Xu Group, helping Jingsong survive the most difficult moments.

In face of an enormous crisis, the Xu Group miraculously came back to life!

Everything seemed to have returned to the starting point...

The only remnants were the exploded P2P lending platforms, which took all the blame for the Xu Group.

Prosperity brings suffering to the people, so does decline.

When looking through the car window at those holding signs and struggling for their rights because of the platform’s implosion,

These were all futures I changed unintentionally...

I thought I could determine the fates of others, but who would have thought, this time, I was still clearly arranged by fate...

Yes, it’s not my fault – without "Big Bull Ventures," there would be "Little Bull Ventures."

For high returns, these people follow their destined paths, entering an inconsequential fork in the road inadvertently, perhaps with no different end in sight.

But... looking at those whose life savings had vanished, parents with helpless young children following them, their faces etched with misery,

And then looking up at the towering skyscrapers of the Xu Group,

I just couldn’t let go for a long time.

Some live in high buildings, others in deep trenches.

This is the variance of the world, understood by us all.

I don’t expect you, destined to stand upon the clouds in the future, to always understand the anguish of those in the mud.

Still, I hope you always retain the most basic empathy.

Because just by standing on our shoulders, you surpass countless others.

Doing nothing, you nearly have everything.

But please remember, it’s not your rightful earning.

You have no right to judge the lives of countless beings according to your likings and dislikes... but I do!

The next day, Jingsong unfortunately died in an elevator accident.

As it turns out, whenever there is a shortcut in life, that shortcut soon becomes the only path...

Sheathing the executioner’s knife is the way to become a Buddha on the spot, yet there is also...

"Hell is not empty, I shall not become a Buddha!"

You ask by what right?

Because unlike you, I have prepared myself to be shot in the firing line before I earn the right to pull the trigger...

...

Using "minor languages" for communication and specialized chat software developed by Zero to conduct "silent" conversations, I directed Cheng Biao and Ah Xing to secretly build a small, unmanned listening station near Han Li’s residence and Zhao Ge’s villa respectively.

We never made contact except for regular maintenance of the equipment.

Besides this, I replicated the process to construct dozens of listening stations in civilian homes around the world.

Although the size and equipment limited their listening capabilities, their secrecy was unmatched.

For the following entire ten years, I gained nothing.

Until the tail end of 2028, the monthly infrasound signals sent from the depths of the Pacific... they finally appeared!

It was as if a certain code had been activated.

Infrasound waves roiling on the surface of Earth suddenly became frequent!

To an outsider, it might appear to be a special industrial noise’s infrasound, but under Zero’s massive analysis and decryption, it clearly exposed the fact that it was a "contact signal."

2028!

We can preliminarily deduce that this was the time when the Night Demon Clan began to become active on Earth!

Perhaps they were no longer concerned about being discovered after Earth’s technological intelligence had been probed, allowing them to communicate openly.

Or maybe... the plan to destroy the world had entered its final closing stage.

They began not to care so much about exposing themselves.

Because the X virus and its variants had already spread to every corner of the world...

Yet in the following period, the monitoring areas near Han Li and Zhao Ge remained utterly quiet.
