Chapter 240 The truth is revealed!
Human beings are highly complex animals. Therefore, Qiao Yu once believed that the person who knows oneself best is oneself.

However, after three hours of frank discussion with Zheng Xiwen, Qiao Yu became a little unsure.

He felt that the people who knew him best might be the investigators. It was terrible, this kind of investigation method was simply pervasive.

For example, by talking to a person's colleagues, talking to relatives and friends, talking to neighbors, talking to superiors, talking to current and past students...

By combining all the information together, and with the help of professional analysis and a profile by a psychological expert, we can basically understand what kind of person he is.

With enough motivation, experts will even analyze the reasons for making choices at major turning points in life.

Don't ask Qiao Yu how he knew it. When Zheng Xiwen talked to him, he used what his colleagues said, what his neighbors said, and what his teachers recalled...

Specifically for Zheng Zefeng, for example, when he was sent abroad on a public scholarship, whether it was because he did not have enough money to compensate the country when he came back, or whether he truly voluntarily returned to the country to make contributions, or for other reasons, all can be analyzed clearly and formed into a report.

The efficiency and ability are so terrifying.

Of course, those who are finally able to take the exam have already gone through a round of screening. Even if there are suspected problems, it is impossible for them to take this exam.

In addition, Qiao Yu did not even consider those whose test scores were too bad, so he only learned about the situations of more than ten people in detail. Three hours was enough, and Qiao Yu had already prepared a draft in his mind.

The side effect was that Qiao Yu became extremely interested in the report in Zheng Xiwen's hand.

Knowing that other people had such detailed information, his report must be more detailed. This made Qiao Yu curious. He really wanted to know what other people thought of him.

"Well, Uncle Zheng, I think I understand. Can we talk about me?"

"you?"

"Yes, you must have my report there, right? What do you think of me in it? Just tell me what you want to say, I will never tell anyone else."

How should I put it? Zheng Xiwen knew that being too frank with a youngster like Qiao Yu would definitely lead to some trouble.

But he didn't expect Qiao Yu's idea to be so outrageous. What should he say?

Zheng Xiwen hesitated for two seconds, then suddenly changed his expression and asked with a serious face, "You showed an unfriendly attitude towards Berkeley yesterday. Now the news has spread. What reasons do you plan to give? Are you going to tell the truth?"

Qiao Yu was speechless when he saw Zheng Xiwen, who suddenly became serious while sitting opposite him. The topic change was too abrupt.

However, he still decided to give Zheng Xiwen some face and discuss this topic first. After all, the other person had just talked to him a lot in a frank manner.

"Do I need a reason? Can't I just say I don't like Berkeley?"

"Of course not! If you use your identity, status and influence to attack a world-renowned university without a reason, do you know what others will think?

Even if they don't think you're crazy, they will think that your thoughts and actions are completely out of control. Believe me, no one wants to deal with someone who is completely unpredictable.

This means that you are overdrawing your academic reputation and future influence in advance. No matter from which level, this is obviously not a good decision.

There are many lessons in history. You got full marks in history in the high school entrance exam, so I don't need to remind you. For example, after the trumped-up charges came out, the Song Dynasty fell!

There was also the Reign of Terror before the French Revolution. There are many similar things. No one wants to deal with an inexplicable person, so no matter what, there should be a reason. "

After hearing what Zheng Xiwen said, Qiao Yu raised his hand and scratched his head.

He felt that Zheng Xiwen thought too highly of himself. What kind of examples were these? Did he regard him as the emperor of mathematics?

However, Qiao Yu suddenly realized that Zheng Xiwen's exaggerated example blocked the excuse he wanted to find.

He was actually planning to talk about how as long as he remained strong, no one would be able to do anything to him. But Zheng Xiwen praised him so highly as soon as he opened his mouth.

So after thinking about it, he spread his hands and said with disdain: "Then just tell the truth. I just don't want that man to have an easy life. I want to make his life more difficult."

"Well, that's fine, actually."

Zheng Xiwen nodded and gave advice: "If that's the case, I suggest you release the news through some private channels."

Qiao Yu said calmly: "Then the news should have been spread, right? In fact, my mother had already told Mr. Yuan about it last night, and she notified me via WeChat this morning.

Mr. Yuan knows everything, and Director Tian must know it too. I think they will also take your point into consideration and help me explain it to some of their friends.

Anyway, I think that once this kind of shit is told to one person, the others who should know it will almost all know it. If they still don’t know it, then it means they are not qualified to know it.”

Zheng Xiwen was a little embarrassed.

Well, he really didn't get enough rest in the morning, and after getting up, he kept chatting with Qiao Yu about random things. He really didn't get any news about this.

However, after knowing the news, he became depressed again.

"Already said that? Have you ever thought that doing this might have some side effects? You are aware of your situation. Have you ever thought that the other party might want to use Professor Feng Yu's identity to do something?

You may only have hatred now. But according to our current understanding, Feng Yu and his parents are still alive. What if you change your mind in the future... well, he is yours after all... and you also have to consider your mother's opinion..."

Zheng Xiwen kept organizing his words in his mind.

To be honest, he didn't really have much experience dealing with young people like Qiao Yu.

After all, his previous protectors were mostly mature men over fifty years old, and most of them held high positions, so they were much more thoughtful than him.

There is no need for him to give any advice at all, and he can even learn a lot from it on how to look at the problem from a higher perspective.

This is also the reason why Zheng Xiwen can become a leader in this industry.

Being able to think about problems from a higher-level perspective is an extremely rare ability in the eyes of superiors, and it is easy to resonate with some people and then be promoted.

But after meeting Qiao Yu, all previous experience was useless.

Many times he couldn't even judge whether Qiao Yu's decision was rational or capricious. Many unorthodox ideas and actions ended up with good results. But at the same time, Qiao Yu was also hailed as a rare mathematical genius in a thousand years. As we all know, mathematicians are definitely the most rational group in the world, and they value logic more than any other profession.

Since following Qiao Yu, Zheng Xiwen has been surrounded by this kind of confusion. So even when he reminded her, he was very cautious. He was a little afraid that the inexplicable words coming out of Qiao Yu's mouth would pollute his Tao heart.

Fortunately, Qiao Yu understood what Zheng Xiwen meant, and asked in surprise: "Ahem...Um, Uncle Zheng, I think you have some misunderstanding about the emotional adjustment between people.

You are a professional, but why do you think that Qiao Xi and I would have any other inappropriate emotions towards a person who is now almost a stranger and whom we hate?"

Zheng Xiwen asked back: "Doesn't everything you are doing now prove that he is not a stranger? If you really don't care about him, why do you have hatred?"

Qiao Yu immediately replied: "Because his actions made my grandfather unhappy! I am inheriting my grandfather's will! If their family lives a good life, what does my grandfather's resentment for so many years mean? What does it matter if he dies in depression?
Although I understand that there is no absolute fairness in this world, I am a petty person. It would be fine if I don't have the ability, but now that I have the ability, if I don't fight for fairness for the people closest to me, then what is the meaning of all my efforts?
Although you refused to tell me about my investigation report, I can actually guess roughly. Anyway, I am definitely not a very noble person, and I can even say that I am quite selfish. So you can rest assured that no one can hold me hostage with so-called universal morality. "

Zheng Xiwen pursed his lips. Having said that, he felt there was nothing more to remind him of.

Anyway, as long as Qiao Yu knows what he is doing and the possible consequences.

After all, it was he who revealed this matter to Qiao Yu. If this incident really causes any messy or even irreversible impact in the future, he will also be held responsible.

As for Feng Yu, he has already taken the oath under the national flag. He is just a pure American. It is not his turn to worry about it.

Since Qiao Yu didn't plan to go out, he also planned to take care of his own things. He was destined to have a lot of work in the next two days.

But before he was ready to leave, Qiao Yu suddenly asked with great interest: "So you think Professor Frank will really start to have bad luck because of this incident? Then according to the time, he should have started to have bad luck by now, right? How about you help me get some information?"

Zheng Xiwen thought about it, then nodded, and then said seriously: "I will help you find out, don't tell anyone."

"Haha, don't worry, you should take a closer look at my investigation report. When have I ever made things difficult for the people who helped me?"

Zheng Xiwen curled his lips. What can I say? Does he need to read the investigation report? Just having a physical sense is enough.

He was never troubled by big things, but he was troubled by small things. However, he could still not care about small things.

"Okay, I'm going to get busy now. I'll let you know if there's any news in the evening. If it's really as you said, what you want to see should have happened."

……

Berkeley, California, USA.

Time goes back to when Qiao Yu was sleeping soundly, Zheng Xiwen was woken up in the middle of the night to listen to a report and then give a presentation, and Frank was dragged into the conference room, listening to the nonsense being said on the stage...

Qiao Yu’s judgment was correct.

Professor Yuan and Director Tian valued his academic reputation more than their own lives. Naturally, they would not let Qiao Yu bear the reputation of being crazy.

To be honest, when Yuan Zhengxin learned about this, he was also full of questions. It seems that this world really has a sense of karma.

He really didn't expect that Professor Frank from Berkeley would be Qiao Yu's biological father.

Then I naturally thought of the fact that last year Qiao Yu directly chose the geometric Langlands conjecture as a topic, but found a loophole and kicked Frank out of the research group.

If Qiao Yu really didn't know that Frank was his father at the time, then if this got out, it would simply be... simply...

Well, Yuan Zhengxin didn’t know what to say, but after seeking Qiao Xi’s consent, he immediately revealed the news to several mathematicians with whom he was close.

Too many people came to him for information.

After informing those international friends of the news, Yuan Zhengxin informed Tian Yanzhen. After all, he was Qiao Yu's mentor, and there might be more people who came to Tian Yanzhen to ask for information than those who came to him.

Of course, it wasn't that Tian Yanzhen finally considered this useless student of his. It was mainly because he was afraid that Tian Yanzhen couldn't bear the pressure and went to question Qiao Yu.

It is indeed difficult to describe how much sympathy Yuan Zhengxin feels for Qiao Yu at this age. In his opinion, Qiao Yu is licking his wounds silently at this time.

Especially when I thought about the fact that Qiao Yu had to bear those burdens that he shouldn't have at such a young age, I felt extremely distressed for this well-behaved child.

What a wonderful boy!

Regardless of his academic achievements, he was always cheerful and optimistic when facing them, which always warmed his heart.

But whenever Yuan Zhengxin thought of the "sufferings" the little guy had endured over the years, he couldn't help but feel distressed, even though these "sufferings" were actually made up by the old man.

The more he felt sorry for Qiao Yu, the more he hated Frank's family from the bottom of his heart.

What the hell is this!
So even though he foresaw that this news might have some negative effects once it got out, Yuan Zhengxin still decided to reveal the secret.

Yuan Zhengxin had also made up his mind that if Qiao Yu couldn't figure it out and blamed him in the future, he would find a way to appease her.

We can't let that rubbish who has never taken care of Qiao Yu for a day affect the child's future. As for enjoying the glory brought by Qiao Yu, don't dream about it.

Qiao Yu and Qiao Xi didn't care, he would not allow such a thing to happen.

So the news spread quickly...

All I can say is that mathematicians are generally not gossipy. For example, few mathematicians would be interested in who a celebrity is dating.

But if there is something that they really want to gossip about, their curiosity is far greater than that of ordinary people.

Not to mention that today's news also involves Qiao Yu, who has just become the youngest Fields player in history, which has already aroused people's curiosity.

Then the story I heard spanned more than ten years of love and hatred.

Then a very strange scene occurred during a meeting of faculty members of the Department of Mathematics at UC Berkeley.

First, the big guys sitting on the stage suddenly started to use their phones, and then a series of strange looks fell on Frank who was trying to remain calm in the audience...
