Chapter 371: Chapter 375: After the Female Lead is Kidnapped (19)

Don’t let Zhao Xin’s rude behavior and poor attitude toward his wife at home deceive you.

Yet outside, his image was meticulously cultivated and impeccably maintained.

Whether it was the elderly ladies in their residential area or his colleagues and superiors at work, everyone considered him a kind and enthusiastic comrade filled with positive energy.

However, everything changed overnight.

Zhao Xin absolutely resisted the idea of waking up early for work.

Swearing harshly at his wife who came to wake him up early in the morning was the only thing that made him feel better.

These incidents occurred daily, and his wife had grown accustomed to them.

Initially, she would retort, but once she did, it only led to more severe verbal abuse and physical confrontations.

No one outside would believe such stories.

"How could Zhao Xin, such a good person, be like what you described — so horrible?"

It simply couldn’t be possible...

Even when she wanted a divorce, not only did her own family oppose it, but the neighborhood committee’s elderly ladies also showed great concern and repeatedly tried to persuade her.

With Zhao Xin’s threats added, his wife gradually compromised.

But today was different.

Zhao Xin’s wife, looking vibrant, took his abuses silently, without saying a word, unusually calm.

Yet her vaguely excited demeanor made Zhao Xin very uncomfortable.

He cursed a few times verbally and then let her be since she always looked lifeless anyways.

After getting ready, Zhao Xin left his house and put on a new facade.

Upon entering the office, he was greeted by the mocking faces of his colleagues.

"Good morning..." Zhao Xin raised his hand, smiling as he greeted the colleague nearest to the door.

It went without saying; this was already the fifth colleague who had ignored him.

In the past, everyone was quite friendly to him, but today...

"Zhao Xin, come in here," the voice of the office director dissolved his embarrassing moment.

As he entered the director’s office, before Zhao Xin had time to close the door, he was hit with a thunderbolt.

"You’ve been fired. Today, hand over your tasks to Xiao Wang, collect your three months’ worth of salary from the finance department, and then you can leave."

The director, who had always been kind and had even promoted him, now wore an extremely serious expression and spoke coldly.

Zhao Xin, puzzled, asked, "Why, why?"

The director, growing impatient, replied, "Our company doesn’t hire people who are insincere and have corrupt behavior."

"Just look it up online yourself."

Zhao Xin grabbed a colleague’s computer, opened the browser, and without searching, the content his colleague had been browsing appeared — exactly what Zhao Xin needed to see.

A new department called "Inspector" had been established in the country.

It had been mentioned in last night’s news broadcast, which Zhao Xin hadn’t paid much attention to.

This webpage was the home page of the Inspector.

It continuously reported problematic behaviors of citizens online and in real life from the previous day along with their corresponding punishments.

In Hua Country, a nation with such a vast population, all registered citizens with legal identities were monitored without exception.

From major crimes to minor offenses like spitting in public, any place with cameras served as the eyes of the Inspector.

The Inspector could even provide video evidence against any queries from the people.

Zhao Xin had thought he had concealed his true nature well, but it was instantly exposed.

Whether it was the beatings and scoldings his wife endured when they were alone or his online disparagement of his own country, nothing was missed.

It was futile to think of objecting; he had no ground to stand on.

Had he always been an obvious scoundrel, such behavior might not have come as a surprise.

However, because his public image was so pristine,

like a saint radiating Holy Light, any stain became overly conspicuous and unacceptable.

Initially skeptical about the news broadcast, the office director, unable to sleep at midnight, visited the Inspector’s webpage out of curiosity to conduct a check on his own company’s staff and uncovered this issue.

Besides Zhao Xin, who was merely corrupt in words and deeds, a high-ranking executive in the company had actually committed murder, his victim being his mistress.

Recalling this executive’s perpetually cheerful appearance and seeming good relationship with his wife sent chills down the director’s spine.

Who could have detected such deep-seated deceivers?

Once the Inspectors stepped in, all these well-concealed evils were exposed under the bright daylight.

Occurrences like this weren’t limited to just Zhao Xin’s case.

Across the country, in every city and district, similar cases unfolded.

The police were swamped from morning till night, bombarded by incessant emergency calls.

At the marriage registration office, the number of divorcing couples dramatically soared to unimaginable digits.

Criminals were in utter panic; instead of waiting for the police, they were captured by the vigilant public and handed over to the authorities.

Murderers, drug traffickers, adulterers, those who deceitfully married same-sex partners, traffickers of women and children...

None were spared.

Most shocking of all, spies who had entrenched themselves in Hua Country for decades were uprooted without a single one overlooked.

They hadn’t even realized how they had been exposed, and before they could relay any information, they were caught red-handed.

Their partners, sons, and daughters couldn’t believe that their fathers, mothers, or wives were actually disguised spies.

These tremors lasted for three months.

As events gradually settled, the atmosphere within Hua Country cleared significantly.

The Inspectors became a dangling sword over everyone’s heads.

Only then did people start to wonder who had created and proposed such a device.

The Intelligent Brain was an invisible web that ensnared them all, meant for protection and surveillance.

While some praised this action, naturally, others resisted.

But those who resisted hardly made a ripple before they sank.

Immediately after all their spies within Hua Country vanished, other countries noticed.

What terrified and shocked them was that Hua Country seemed like a vast seamless iron bucket, from which they could obtain no information whatsoever.

Though such epoch-making initiatives and research couldn’t remain concealed forever.

Three months later, Hua Country announced the arrival of the Green Hat to the world.

Naturally, these state actions had no impact on Su Li and Wen Zhu.

Yet the layers of people discreetly protecting them around the clock increased.

If it were someone else, this might feel bothersome.

But for Su Li, it was non-existent.
