Winnie was a bit embarrassed when I took the phone out of my pocket.
When she saw the appearance of the phone, she seemed to have just remembered that she had stuffed this phone into her underwear during an emergency. When she got up to answer a question, it shook her until her face was flushed and she felt dizzy.
That was why she didn't hear what Dr. Yu said about the phone having a backdoor. Her own phone rang at the same time. Ren Peng told her to go back to the team activity. Winnie waved at us and ran away.
After Winnie left, I started to ask Professor Yu. He had mentioned that my phone's chip had a hardware backdoor, and that his classmate had developed the chip. What was going on?
"Was he your classmate at Stanford?" I frowned.
"That's right." Dr. Yu seemed to be ashamed. "Actually, he's the third of the Three Swordsmen of Stanford University back then. However, he was mentally abnormal before he graduated, so Senior Brother and I are not willing to mention him …"
An indescribable feeling stuck in my throat. I asked in exasperation, "Is Fang Xin your classmate? In the end, it turns out that the three of you have teamed up to mess with me! "
"Fang Xin?" Professor Yu was slightly taken aback. Then, he said in realization, "He has used this name before. Other names include Fairbank, Fairgriff, Fairblaze, Fairio, Fairzeus, Fairyer, and Wah … Just like Fang Xin, none of them are real names. I remember that his father's surname is Bai …"
"When Fang Xin was in university with us, he was warned multiple times for forming an illegal society. However, there were still people who believed his nonsense and thought he was Jesus II. I have to say, he did look a bit special."
"Back then, I was most interested in medicine and mechanical engineering. My senior specialized in pharmacology. Fang Xin, who was one year younger than me, was a top student in chaos mathematics and information science. His computer programming skills were also the best in the entire university. He was called the Three Swordsmen at Stanford along with us …"
"Unfortunately, his mental state was unstable. We didn't know what he was thinking all the time. Later on, he developed a phone chip at a technology company in Silicon Valley. In the end, he left a backdoor in the hardware. He was fired after the chip was mass-produced. Originally, he was going to be held criminally responsible, but after a doctor's evaluation, he was found to have intermittent neuropathy. In the end, he was exonerated and sent back to his country for treatment. I haven't heard from him for a long time … "
"I didn't expect the chips he made to appear in your mobile phone … Those problematic chips were supposed to be destroyed, but it seems like the Americans are quite wicked. They treated them as foreign garbage and sold them to China. Now, they're being used in large quantities by counterfeit mobile phones …"
"It sounds like you've met Fang Xin? He was released from the mental hospital? "
More than just seeing him!? I still want to beat him up!
Fang Xin, fuck you! What a good trick! My worldview is about to collapse because of you!
Professor Yu said that your real name is not Fang Xin. Your father's surname is Bai? So, Professor Bai from the Scientific Happiness School is your father!
Teacher Hu, who was tricked into joining the Church of Science together with Gong CaiCai, was a little puzzled when I saw him holding the same phone as me. Now that I think about it, it wasn't a coincidence at all!
Our text messages and phone calls have been tapped! This is China's version of "Prism Door"! The phone chip that Fang Xin left a hardware backdoor was used by a large number of counterfeit mobile phones, causing the privacy of many counterfeit mobile phone users to be leaked through the hardware backdoor!
No wonder Professor Bai could use "cause and effect calculation" to calculate that my relationship with my mother wasn't good. I have a sister, my favorite brother Optimus Prime was snatched away, and my father's remarriage partner was already pregnant …
As for Teacher Hu, he "calculated" that he wanted to buy a solar company's stock, and if he really bought it, he might be trapped …
In the Church of Science class, there were people who said that the cause and effect calculation program was very accurate and could even calculate which bank his private money was deposited in …
Calculate your grandma! He obviously knew it by spying on text messages, phone calls, and even browsing records on his mobile phone! Teacher Hu said that he didn't tell anyone that he wanted to buy stocks, but he probably used his mobile phone to browse the information of this stock! As for which bank his private money was deposited in … they probably even know your account number and password!
The Scientific Happiness Conference claimed to be a self-developed "cause and effect calculation" program. It has a huge amount of calculations, so they rented the country's supercomputer, which consumes a lot of power. Whether the members want to make shallow or deep predictions, they have to pay the corresponding usage fees. Gong CaiCai, Teacher Hu, and I can make predictions for free because we got a discount …
Discount my ass! You stole our personal privacy, and now you want us to pay for it! The members of the Scientific Happiness Conference are so cheap! Professor Bai, you're too wicked! You're as wicked as your son Fang Xin!
However, there was still one thing I didn't understand. It was impossible for all the members who came to make predictions to be counterfeit mobile phone users. Even if they were all counterfeit mobile phones, it was impossible for all of them to use the chip designed by Fang Xin.
As for the users that they couldn't eavesdrop on, how did they trick them into believing in the nonexistent "cause and effect calculation program"?
Gong CaiCai was using an iPhone 4. No matter how frugal Apple was, they wouldn't buy foreign trash as accessories. Gong CaiCai definitely wasn't eavesdropped on through the iPhone 4. However, after Professor Bai's "shallow prediction", although she wasn't hit the nail on the head like me and Teacher Hu, she basically accepted the results of the prediction.
Was she just going with the flow? Just like many scammer qigong masters, as long as the number of people who believed in him reached a certain threshold, the others would be influenced and unknowingly start to believe in him.
I felt that it would be difficult to support such a huge scam just by relying on a hardware backdoor. Fang Xin couldn't just appear in front of every chip user and tell them "Don't throw the phone away, the phone will save your life", right?
The cell phone's life-saving trick had been exposed this time! The fake text message that Constable Ma sent to me, falsely claiming that my dad was arrested for drug trafficking, was forged under Fang Xin's orders! Since they eavesdropped on me for so long, they should already know about my relationship with Constable Ma, right?
The four brawny men that ambushed me at Xinhua North Street were also sent by Fang Xin or Professor Bai! They couldn't kill me even though it was four against one, so they were waiting for the phone's backdoor to activate and automatically call 110! I knew it wouldn't be a coincidence with such a small probability! As expected, it was a scam!
By the way, Teacher Hu was also using the phone, so why didn't Fang Xin appear in front of him? Instead, for a middle school student like me, he specifically escaped from the mental hospital and said a bunch of brainwashing words … Why did he place so much importance on me?
Do you even need to ask! The key is that Fang Xin and his son collected a large amount of private information about the backdoor chip users. After screening, they found out that I, a middle school student, was the son of a wealthy American, Ai ShuQiao! I had the potential to become a believer! As soon as Fang Xin's intermittent mental illness acted up, he immediately escaped to find me! As long as I recognized him as a master, he would receive US dollars sooner or later!
I was about to vomit blood from anger! Such a sinister plan almost twisted my worldview and made me believe in the existence of superpowers and magic! Give me back the feelings I wasted!
I told Professor Yu about the things that Fang Xin, Professor Yu's junior brother and the third of the Stanford Three Swordsmen, had done over the past few months. Professor Yu could not help but frown and cry out in pain, "You're right.
"Not good! My money is going to be deducted! My research funding is going to be reduced! "
"Huh? What does Fang Xin and his father, Professor Bai, organizing a cult have to do with your money being deducted? "
Professor Yu said with a bitter face: "It's not Fang Xin who's deducting my money, it's Ai ShuQiao."
"What do you mean?"
Professor Yu deduced: Since my relationship with Ai ShuQiao was very tense, even if Fang Xin understood the whole situation through the backdoor of the chip, he wouldn't have tried to rope me in as a rich second generation. Therefore, he probably placed all his bets on Ai ShuQiao and wanted me to apologize to Ai ShuQiao in order to gain Ai ShuQiao's favor and obtain benefits.
Since that was the plan, it was impossible not to contact Ai ShuQiao. Fang Xin (or Professor Bai) might have promised Ai ShuQiao that they would brainwash me into an obedient chess piece and ask for a certain reward.
Therefore, Fang Xin could be said to be Ai ShuQiao's accomplice! The Stanford Three Swordsmen, including Professor Yu, were all Ai ShuQiao's accomplices! Also, Professor Yu didn't know that Fang Xin had become Ai ShuQiao's accomplice. He accidentally discovered that there was a problem with my phone and casually exposed Fang Xin's brainwashing plot! Fang Xin couldn't brainwash me, and Ai ShuQiao also suffered a loss! That's why Professor Yu felt regretful and felt that his employer was going to deduct his money!
"That's not right." I muttered after thinking carefully, "Fang Xin appeared in front of me yesterday and seemed to express his intention to help me fight against Ai ShuQiao …"
Halfway through, I suddenly realized that Professor Yu was also Ai ShuQiao's subordinate, so I shouldn't say these kinds of things in front of him.
Although Professor Yu was only following Ai ShuQiao's orders to a large extent because he could receive funding from Ai ShuQiao and was not a fierce lackey like Fu ShiJian, I still couldn't completely let my guard down.
"Don't use this phone for now, or else your privacy will continue to be leaked," Professor Yu suggested. "Although my research funding will be deducted by Ai ShuQiao, I still have enough money to buy you another phone. You can go buy a phone with Winnie tomorrow."
I don't know why, but I still felt close to Professor Yu even though I knew that he was my 'enemy'.
"Why are you buying me a phone? I was taken advantage of by Fang Xin, not you. "
Professor Yu smiled bitterly, "Although my senior and I don't want to mention Fang Xin, he's still one of the Stanford Three Swordsmen. It's because 'Two Swordsmen' sounds too bad! As Fang Xin's senior, I still plan to take some responsibility … "
