Film and Television: My Cheat Code is AI

"Bang."

The door slammed against the wall and bounced back. Yang Zhen had already rushed inside. The room was small, with a bed, a table, and a chair lying on the floor. The window was wide open, and the curtains were blown out by the wind, fluttering outside the window frame.

No one was there. Yang Zhen's gaze swept over the space under the bed and behind the door, then settled on the window. He took two steps over and leaned half his body out to look down.

Hu Wei was hanging below, his hands gripping the concrete eaves of the third-floor window, suspended in mid-air. The rope wasn't tied around his waist, but wrapped around his palms twice, supporting him with his hand strength. From the fourth floor down, the wind was strong, and his body swayed slightly in the wind. His fingers were already white, and the nylon fibers of the rope were digging into his flesh, with blood seeping from between his fingers and flowing down the rope.

Yang Zhen leaned his upper body out of the window frame, one hand bracing against the windowsill, the other reaching down. He couldn't reach Hu Wei's wrist; he was still a bit short.

He called out, "Hu Wei."

Hu Wei looked up. His face was covered in sweat, his lips were trembling, but his eyes were bright—not the kind of bright that comes from fear, but the kind of bright that comes from having figured something out.

"I know why you're looking for me," Hu Wei's voice came from below, broken by the wind. "I, Hu Wei, would never betray my brothers."

"Listen to me." Yang Zhen's voice was very steady, he didn't shout, but each word was delivered slowly and deliberately, "Hu Wei, listen to me."

Hu Wei smiled briefly, as if he had just let go of something. He loosened his grip, not by slipping, but by deliberately letting go, spreading all ten fingers at once. The rope slipped from his palm and slid down the eaves like a dead snake. His body leaned back, somersaulting halfway through the air before plummeting straight to the ground, passing by the windows of the third and second floors.

Yang Zhen's hand was still out the window when his fingers grasped nothing. A short scraping sound came from the metal sheet of the awning downstairs. Hu Wei's heel had scraped against the edge of the awning, and then he crashed onto the terrazzo floor. The sound was muffled, so muffled that it didn't sound like a person falling to the ground.

We arrived at the hospital.

Old Zheng also rushed over from Zhang Yang's place. "How did it go?"

Yang Zhengang had just come out of the doctor's office when he said, "This kid is lucky. There was a canopy that caught him when he fell. He only broke his left arm, but he's fine everywhere else."

"That kid's stubborn enough."

Ding Jian then said, "When he was brought to the hospital, the doctor did a full examination. He had a lot of internal and external injuries, none of which were from a fall, but all from being beaten."

Old Zheng said, "This kid has a lot of enemies. He got beaten up as soon as he got out of prison."

Yang Zhen said, "Others had already been here before us, and it looks like they were tormented quite a bit by this kid."

Old Zheng said, "They're definitely after Luo Liang. I think this is a breakthrough."

Yang Zhen thought for a moment and said, "But this person is trying to kill himself, how can he still break through?" He paused and then said, "How about this, I'll go take a look."

Old Zheng nodded and said, "Okay." After watching Yang Zhen and Ding Jian leave, Old Zheng sent Zhang Yang a text message.

(The master copy will most likely fall into the hands of a skilled player.)

Zhang Yang quickly replied with a message.

(receive.)

Sitting in his living room, Zhang Yang turned off the lights and stared at the ceiling. He hadn't expected Gao Jun to act so quickly and accurately locate Hu Wei. It seemed that he had been planning this for a long time.

After returning to the ward, Yang Zhen looked at Hu Wei, who was already handcuffed to the bed, and asked, "Awake?"

Hu Wei said, "I won't say anything."

Yang Zhen said, "Hu Wei, I just want to tell you that Luo Liang is dead."

"What?" Hu Wei looked at Yang Zhen in surprise.

Yang Zhen continued, "I believe you didn't betray your brothers, but they still found Luo Liang. Are you still unwilling to say anything?"

Hu Wei stared at the ceiling, saying nothing, only tears sliding down his cheeks.

Yang Zhen said, "I don't know why these people are looking for Luo Liang, but I think there must be some kind of interest involved. Maybe they're celebrating together, and they might even be saying that you betrayed Luo Liang."

"I don't."

"Would others think that way?"

"I killed them." Hu Wei's neck veins bulged.

Yang Zhen calmly replied, "Whether you kill them or not is not your business. We will bring these people to justice. Hu Wei, we need your cooperation now."

Yang Zhen looked at the silent Hu Wei. "What? Don't you trust us? Don't you trust the law?"

"The law?" Hu Wei sneered. "It works for honest people, but it doesn't work for some people."

Yang Zhen said, "Alright, think about it first. If I'm not mistaken, you and we are looking for the same group of people. But you must remember, you can only take down this gang by relying on us police and using the law."

"You can't do it all by yourself." With that, he left.

It was already past midnight when they left the hospital. In the car, Yang Zhen said, "Old Zheng, I think Hu Wei is going to run away."

Old Zheng said, "Run? He thinks he can run away from the hospital?"

I think we should just let him run.

"What are you doing? We finally caught him."

Yang Zhen said, "Think about it, since only Hu Wei knows about this master disc, once he runs away, he will definitely try to find it before those other people do. We can then follow him to find the master disc."

Old Zheng shook his head and said, "Oh dear, I'm afraid that's not reliable. I need to ask for instructions."

At that moment, Ding Jian was at the hospital keeping an eye on Hu Wei when he called and said, "Brother Yang, Hu Wei has made his move."

Yang Zhen looked at Lao Zheng and said, "Hu Wei has made his move? Then you go with him, better to be lost than to wake up."

"Yes."

Old Zheng looked at Yang Zhen and said, "You're just good at putting me in a difficult position."

Outside the hospital, Ding Jian watched as Hu Wei hailed a taxi and followed him in his car.

He followed along, reporting the situation to Yang Zhen: "This kid is heading towards the suburbs; he's already off Highway 8."

"Understood, I'm following along."

Ding Jian watched as Hu Wei took out a shovel from somewhere and started digging something.

"What's this kid doing at the cemetery?"

Yang Zhen's voice came through the walkie-talkie: "I guessed right, hiding things in the cemetery is safer than putting them in a safe."

Soon Yang Zhen and Lao Zheng arrived at the location, and Yang Zhen said, "We've arrived, let's get started."

After getting out of the car, he came up behind Hu Wei and said, "Oh, planning to dig a hole and bury yourself?"

Hu Wei sat on the ground and cursed, "These bastards, beasts, bastards."

They took Hu Wei back to the team and brought him to the interrogation room.

Hu Wei said, "Luo Liang stayed in Hainan for several years without any news. A few days ago, he suddenly came back and told me that his time to make a fortune had come. He took out something called the 'mother plate' and showed it to me, saying that whoever has this thing will own the bank."

Yang Zhen said, "He trusts you quite a bit."

Hu Wei said, "We are childhood friends, good brothers who grew up together. During the years he was in Hainan, I took care of his family."

Seeing that Hu Wei remained silent, Yang Zhen said, "Go on."

Hu Wei thought for a moment and said, "But soon a group of professional counterfeiters have their eyes on him. Luo Liang said that this group is even more capable than his group in Hainan. They have also counterfeited US dollars, euros, Japanese yen, and Hong Kong dollars. Now they are eyeing the master set in his possession."

"Just in case, we hid the mother plate in the cemetery."

Yang Zhen asked, "Where's the master disk?"

Hu Wei said, "These people acted too quickly. They found me first and forced me to tell them where Luo Liang was. I gritted my teeth and endured it, which resulted in these injuries."

Yang Zhen smiled and said, "You're quite loyal."

"When you came to me, I thought I would rather die than reveal my brother's identity."

"It's a pity you didn't die, but Luo Liang did."

"Luo Liang is right, these people are no pushovers, they're too formidable."

"We've arrested these scumbags, you believe me?"
