  Thank you to book friends "湮灭の缘分" for the reward and evaluation votes! Thank you to book friend "葛学林" for the reward and evaluation votes! Thanks for your support, bowing down! Speaking of which, everyone's wave of urging updates is really too fierce, I'm in pain and happiness at the same time...

  The old man heard the police's inquiry and a hint of unbearable expression flashed across his face. After a moment, he finally nodded.

  The police officer looked at Feng Xiaotian and smiled, then turned around and walked into the house. A moment later, he shouted out to the outside: "The thing has been found, it's on his desk!"

  A man who appeared to be the leader ordered: "Take the loot back, be careful not to damage it, and also - take this kid away with you."

  After finishing speaking, the police started to get busy. Under Wang Qianqian's extremely different gaze, the police moved a computer monitor out of Feng Xiaotian's house, then the host, followed by the keyboard and mouse. When the police finished moving things, they carried Feng Xiaotian into the police car like carrying a small chicken. Just as the car was about to start, Feng Xiaotian suddenly shouted loudly: "Why are you arresting me? Why did you seize my computer? Return it to me quickly - return it to me!!"

  Feng Xiao Tian finally came back to his senses at this moment, he saw that his beloved computer was disassembled and placed in the police car, and immediately exploded. Losing the intelligent program was already a huge blow to him, if he lost the computer too, what would he do? In this way, even wanting to rebuild an intelligent program would be impossible!

  The police effortlessly pinned down the slender Feng Xiaotian, his face cold as he said: "You little brat still knows this is a computer? Know how expensive this thing is? You stinky little kid! What's wrong with you learning to steal things from others?"

  Feng Xiao Tian was stunned upon hearing this, and immediately he loudly argued: "I didn't steal - I didn't steal! Let me go! This is something I bought with my own money!"

  The police didn't want to bother with Feng Xiaotian's nonsense, so he directly gave him a slap in the face, causing Feng Xiaotian's nose to bleed profusely. He then said disdainfully, "You little brat, stop yelling here! You'll be dealt with when we get back to the police station! Now behave yourself!"

  Feng Xiaotian was slapped in the face and immediately became quiet, because he saw Old Li. Almost instantly, he understood everything. Looking at the police's attitude, he feared that this computer had an illegitimate origin!

  Old Li looked at Feng Xiaotian with a face full of apology, his expression was very complex, as if he wanted to say something, but considering the police beside him, he finally didn't say a word.

  The police car drove away with a "wow wow" sound, and Wang Qianqian stood still, not coming back to her senses for a long time. She was puzzled: "Why did the police take Feng Xiaotian away? How could there be a computer in his home? Could it be... that the computer was stolen by him?"

  Wang Qianqian shook her head, saying that it was absolutely impossible for Feng Xiaotian to steal things. If he were a thief, why would he still pick up trash? Isn't stealing more profitable than picking up trash? Moreover, he had been picking up trash for many years, if he wanted to learn bad habits, shouldn't he have done so by now? But...now he was taken away by the police, what's going on?

  Wang Qianqian thought of this and immediately turned around to lock the door of Feng Xiaotian's house, then rode her bicycle away.

  Feng Xiaotian was taken to the police station, and after getting out of the car, he was directly thrown into the interrogation room and locked up. More than an hour later, a policeman came in to take his statement. The policeman who came was fat, and as soon as he opened his notebook, he said straightforwardly to Feng Xiaotian: "Kid, confess everything."

  Feng Xiao Tian calmly started to explain the process of buying a computer, but before he could finish, the police officer interrupted him: "You little brat, stop making up stories! Quickly confess to the theft! Otherwise, you'll be in for it!"

  Feng Xiao Tian heard this and was taken aback, then argued: "How...how could I be a thief? I didn't steal! This computer was bought by me for ten bucks..."

  Before Feng Xiao Tian could finish speaking, he was slapped heavily on the face. The police officer sneered and said: "Don't pretend to be stupid with me here! What kind of criminal haven't I seen?! You dare to spout nonsense here?! Hurry up and confess honestly!!"

  Feng Xiao Tian was slapped in the face, and the nosebleed that had stopped started again. His mouth was also covered in blood, but his expression remained firm. He wiped the blood from his face and said calmly, "I didn't steal anything. This computer was bought by me for 10 bucks..."

  Feng Xiaotian's words had not yet left his lips when another slap landed on his face, this one heavier than the last. It sent him tumbling from the stool to the ground. Dazed, Feng Xiaotian struggled to get back up, his face now grotesquely swollen and a gash at the corner of his eye oozing blood. Though his face was bleeding, he didn't raise a hand to wipe it away this time. Once steady on his feet, he declared, "I didn't steal anything! This computer cost me ten bucks!"

  Feng Xiao Tian finally said a complete sentence, his tone was quite calm, and his eyes were filled with a hint of indifference, as if he didn't care whether the police would continue to beat him or not.

  The policeman was taken aback, and it was clear at a glance that Feng Xiaotian was a tough nut to crack. He probably wouldn't be able to get the better of him by being tough. After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly smiled and said: "Come on, let's sit down and talk."

  Feng Xiao Tian heard this and didn't move, still standing in the same spot, gazing calmly at the police officer in front of him. His slender figure stood straight as a rod, as if no amount of pressure could bend his spine.

  The policeman's face flashed a hint of displeasure, but he immediately continued to smile and said: "Little brother, what's the point of this? If you confess early, we can both end this matter early and make things easier for each other, right?"

  Feng Xiao Tian heard this and calmly said: "I didn't steal anything."

  The police officer sneered, "Oh? You really didn't steal anything? I'm afraid that's not right. - Do you know Li Changgui? He has already confessed, why are you still trying to hold on?"

  Feng Xiaotian's face didn't change a bit upon hearing this, but he was shocked beyond measure in his heart. As expected, Li Changgui should be Lao Li's real name. The police said that he had already confessed and even claimed to be his accomplice. Why was this?

  The police saw Feng Xiaotian not speaking, and thought he had already wavered. He smiled slightly and said: "Young brother, you're still young, not old enough to be sentenced, at most it's just being sent to a labor camp for a few months. What's more, even if you don't confess, we can still put you in there. However, when that time comes, it won't be just a matter of a few months - have you seen these words? You'd better think carefully."

  The police officer pointed to the wall behind him, where it was written "leniency for those who confess, severity for those who resist". Feng Xiao Tian glanced at it lightly and said: "There is another sentence below these words, why didn't you see it?"

  Below this line of words was also written "Strictly prohibited private punishment, civilized law enforcement". Feng Xiaotian's words were a great irony to the police. The police officer's face turned from white to red and then green after hearing these words. He suddenly stood up, rushed in front of Feng Xiaotian, kicked him to the ground with one foot, and his fists rained down on Feng Xiaotian's body. While beating him, he also scolded: "Little turtle bastard! Let you be tough-mouthed! Let you be tough-mouthed!"

  Feng Xiaotian didn't intentionally try to provoke the police, but he also couldn't confess to something that never happened. Judging from the situation earlier, if he didn't follow the police's orders, he would still get beaten up. In that case, what else could be said? Even getting beaten up should be done with dignity!

  Feng Xiao Tian did not steal anything, although he was very poor, but he had always relied on his own labor to survive, even if he was ridiculed and insulted, he persisted. Now let him say that he stole something, how can he accept it? A person can be poor, but his dignity cannot be lost!

  Fist-sized raindrops pounded against Feng Xiaotian's body, his frail physique unable to withstand it. Before long, he fell into a daze, and in his confusion, he seemed to have returned to that night several years ago...

  An old woman with white hair lay on the bed, grasping Wind Laughing Heaven's hand with her dry hands. With a weak breath, she said to Wind Laughing Heaven: "Little Tian, Nainai is not going to make it... From now on... you have to rely on yourself... live well... remember... don't learn bad things... although we are very poor... but we must be poor with dignity..."

  Feng Xiaotian leaned against his grandmother's side, and when he heard this, he nodded very sensibly. Although tears were already welling up in his eyes, he stubbornly held them back, not letting them fall. His grandmother lifted her arm with difficulty and gently stroked Feng Xiaotian's head, saying: "Child, don't cry... Your father, mother, and I will be watching over you from heaven... We will bless you..."

  Grandma is advanced in age, the pain of losing her son had long since shattered her body and mind. If it weren't for this beloved grandson, she wouldn't have been able to hold on these past few years. But now, she has reached the end of her life. After saying that, she slowly lowered her arms and fell silent.

  Feng Xiao Tian tightly hugged his grandmother, and the tears in his eyes finally couldn't help but flow out. He kept muttering to himself: "Grandma... Little Tian is very well-behaved... Little Tian won't cry... Little Tian won't cry..."

  At this moment, Feng Xiang Tian's consciousness was becoming increasingly blurred, but his mouth kept muttering: "Grandma... Little Tian won't cry... Little Tian won't cry..."

  "Alright, some people might think this is a bit cruel, but what I want to say is that this is to explain the origin of the computer, and it's also a turning point in Feng Xiaotian's life. He endured a lot of cold shoulders and ridicule, although he was strong-willed, but not good at expressing himself. Through this incident, he will change a lot. In simple terms, it means - 'I won't bother you if you don't bother me, but if you bother me, I'll bother you back!' Hope everyone doesn't scold me..."
