Chapter 293 The Founder of Touchpoint Connect: When the Boulder Stops Rolling

Chapter 293 The Founder of Touchpoint Connect: When the Boulder Stops Rolling (3K)

Lin Duo was late.

He suddenly remembered at 9:22 a.m. that he needed to get to the 41st floor of Qihang Building before 9 a.m.

The good news is that everyone else was late too.

Lin Duo had already reached the 41st floor when Li Tieqiang and Zhao Xinyi suddenly appeared out of nowhere and pinned him down.

When he arrived, he was still dressed in a sharp suit.

"I was invited here by your classmate Tang, so you'd better show me some respect." Lin Duo shrugged, frowning as he looked at Zhao Xinyi's hands, which still had food crumbs on them. "Take your hands off me, you've gotten my clothes dirty!"

Upon entering the conference room, he plopped down in his seat and, looking at Li Tieqiang and the others who were adopting an interrogation stance, said reservedly, "I came here because Tang invited me. You are not qualified to interrogate me. After all, you wouldn't understand what I'm saying, you have no idea who you are dealing with, and you know nothing about their power."

The result... was being looked at as if I were an idiot.

“It seems you really don’t know anything, do you?” Li Tieqiang shook his head. “No wonder, you’ve been hiding ever since Fan Zhihong’s failure, and you only showed up now. You’ve definitely missed a lot.”

He took out a pen and wrote a few sentences in his notebook before turning to Lin Duo and saying, "Tell me, how did you use [Touchpoint Connect] to make others forget you? What is your relationship with [Touchpoint Connect]?"

Lin Duo was shocked: "How do you know about [Touchpoint Interconnect]?"

“We not only know about [Touchpoint Interconnection], but we’re also close to opening a passage to the other world.” Li Tieqiang taunted him, “Confess obediently, and you might still get lenient treatment now. Otherwise, once we’ve dealt with the other world, you’ll be worthless and won’t even have a chance to redeem yourself.”

Lin Duo was certainly familiar with such platitudes, but Li Tieqiang's words gave him the feeling that a few days in the mountains had passed in the world for a thousand years.

This isn't right...

Even if it's this kind of information, they shouldn't know it.

By the time Tang Yiping arrived late, Lin Duo had already given most of the instructions.

"Sorry, I overslept." Tang Yiping raised his hand. "It's my fault."

“It’s not your fault, we were all late. I didn’t even remember it this morning…” Shen Hong said, who was listening to the interrogation from the side.

Mingming had received a call from Tang Yiping last night, informing him that Lin Duo had been found. He had also gathered various materials and spent a long time looking at Lin Duo's information, considering how to deal with the situation today.

Then... for some reason, Shen Hong forgot about it and started busying himself with other things.

It wasn't until after nine o'clock this morning that Shen Hongcai remembered this matter again.

He didn't forget about it at all during that time.

"So it's my fault," Tang Yiping said.

Shen Hong: "???"

I don't quite understand why this child would take the blame upon himself.

I really don't understand.

Perhaps this child is too kind and can't bear to see others make mistakes.

Shen Hong thought.

What a good boy.

Tang Yiping sighed.

With its own bean sprout, the "Mother Tree of Original Tranquility," as a "safe haven," it is indeed very safe.

But isn't that a bit too safe?

Once he returns home, no one remembers him at all...

This means that if he arranges something, no one else will remember it.

This is such a mistake!

Tang Yiping felt that he had to find a way to resolve this matter.

For example, start by not sleeping in and going to bed early, waking up early, and leaving home early every day.
No, this is too difficult. Let's look for other solutions...

Sigh, isn't this forcing him not to go home?

Then what is the meaning of a "safe place to live"?

With that thought in mind, Tang Yiping rolled his wheelchair to the side of the table.

"You've come at the right time, we've just reached a crucial moment..." Li Tieqiang said to Lin Duo, "Go on, let Pingzi hear how you've hidden yourself."

“The main investor in Touchpoint Connect is a shell company of Tianyu Investment,” Lin Duo said.

"It's like this, I had a discussion with their main founder at my home. You may not know this, but based on my observation, if certain locations are associated with important events, they may be affected by that mysterious force..."

“Yes, they received their first investment in your living room, so that’s definitely a strong connection.” Li Tieqiang nodded and said, “So the first floor of your living room was also affected by the power of oblivion and was excluded from this world. But according to normal rules, you should have lost the relevant memories when [Touchpoint Interconnection] was oblivious. How did you manage to keep yourself from forgetting this, and how did you make the first floor of your house disappear when needed?”

"Because I was in quarantine at the time."

Lin Duo said, "Although I don't know where this power comes from, I am the person closest to this power. There are probably few people who can use this power better than me."

"First of all, this power is not absolute, but rather based on connection."

“After our conversation, I didn’t invest directly. Instead, I temporarily created a shell company and used multiple layers of intermediaries to indirectly control and maintain distance before investing in their company. They themselves didn’t even know that I had invested in this company.” He paused and said, “This is one of my ways of protecting myself.”

Li Tieqiang and Shen Hong exchanged a glance, both quite shrewd.

"After I was certain that Fan Zhihong and his group had completely failed and that I would also be blamed, I immediately reconnected with the shell company's funds and connections, reactivating that link..."

That's really clever.

“As I said before, this power is not absolute…” Lin Duo said, “This ‘erasure’ effect works best on network information and human memory, but it’s not good for physical records. There’s a stone wall in my basement where I’ve carved everything I need to remember on it, and I make myself look at it every day…”

The most effective way to record things in this world that withstands the test of time is not through CDs or hard drives, nor through books or cloth, but through carving them on stone tablets.

It seems that resisting forgetting is also an option.

Maintaining physical records and increasing distance allowed Lindo to be exempt from the effects of "forgetting" to some extent.

Lin Duo was indeed a talented person. Although he didn't know where this power came from, he knew how to use it.

"Of course, this approach is also very dangerous, because if there are too many connections, my basement might also disappear..." Lin Duo suddenly showed off his wealth, "Fortunately, my house has more than one basement. The row of villas near my house are all under my name."

"So, you know who the founder of Touchpoint Connect is?" Shen Hong asked, ignoring his boasting.

Even now, they still can't find any information about the founder of Touchpoint Connect.

“I can’t quite remember his name…” Lin Duo tapped his forehead. “However, I made a point of taking a picture in the basement before I left.”

Lin Duo said, and then he took out a Polaroid photo from his small bag.

"His surname is Wei, and he's a very skilled programmer... um... you can see the rest for yourselves." Lin Duo handed over the photo.

Shen Hong took it and glanced at it, then froze. "What's wrong?" Li Tieqiang reached out and took it, then his eyes widened in shock.

"What's going on? Is it someone we know?" Gao Ming leaned over for a look, his face also full of strangeness.

Tang Yiping, who was sitting in the corner because he had arrived too late, was extremely anxious: "Let me take a look!"

Everyone else just passed it around to each other and didn't give it to him.

Lin Duo took the photo back and handed it to Tang Yiping.

Tang Yiping glanced at it and immediately understood why everyone was surprised.

"Wei Song?"

Tang Yiping's eyes widened.

How could it be Wei Song?

They tracked down Wei Song, which is how they pulled 41st Floor back from oblivion. Isn't he a programmer at Touchpoint Connect?

How could he be the founder of Touchpoint Connect?
All of this was caused by Wei Song?

"Wait... where did Wei Song go after last time?" Tang Yiping asked.

"I do not remember."

"I remember someone took him to the hospital, and then what?"

"I didn't send it."

"I didn't send any."

Everyone, look at me and I look at you.

Damn, I forgot about him again!
This force is so annoying; it makes us look like a bunch of amateurs!

……

In a small rented room, Wei Song dialed his home phone.

He had a very difficult time during this period.

Moreover, things are getting increasingly unfavorable.

Sometimes, he felt like a stone ball rolling down a mountain, endlessly rolling downwards, unable to stop or halt its descent.

That day, appearing downstairs at Qihang Building was his last thought; he was just trying to meet the powerful [0xT1P], but he never expected to run into Tang Yiping.

Tang Yiping encouraged him to apply for a job at Linghai Technology. He was finally persuaded and mustered up the courage to give it another shot.

To thank Tang Yiping, he planned to help Tang Yiping investigate his former company.

But for some reason, no one remembered his former company, Touchpoint Connect. When he went to investigate, he was stuck at his former company for several days and missed the opportunity to interview at Linghai Technology.

This should have been his last chance.

But looking back now, I'm in a daze during those days and have no idea what I was doing.

Could I be having mental problems...?

Sigh, maybe this is just bad luck. Stop daydreaming and go home.

Wei Song listened to the sound of the phone line connecting, lost in thought.

After a while, someone answered the call.

It was a woman's voice: "Hello, who is this?"

"Hello? Honey, it's me. I might be back in the next couple of days, just letting you know in advance..."

"Who are you?" the person on the other end asked.

“I am Wei Song, your husband…” Wei Song looked completely bewildered.

Is this a joke?

"You dialed the wrong number! Beep beep beep beep..."
