273: Chapter 272 Mr. Wang, I've long admired you.

Tanaka sat in the police car, watching the lights streak past the window, feeling slightly bewildered.

Everything that had happened today was so rapid that he felt as if he were in a dream.

Even now, he had not yet sorted out exactly what had happened.

First, he had been forcibly restrained by Matsumoto Bieyun, who had always been respectful to him, with ill intent. Just when he was almost in despair, a group of police officers descended from the sky and, in turn, subdued Matsumoto Bieyun.

Judging by their straightforward questioning, they must have come to rescue him.

Since when did the police in China have such a fast response time?

Could they have anticipated that something would happen to him?

Otherwise, how could one explain why the police officer had only confirmed the situation with him and then not said another word, instead directly taking Matsumoto Bieyun and his gang, who had coerced him, onto the police car?

Recalling the gloomy look in Matsumoto Bieyun's eyes as he looked at him before getting into the car, Tanaka could not help but feel a bit worried.

Although he did not understand the laws of China, in many countries, kidnapping was a serious crime.

Since it was a serious crime, the conditions required would be very strict.

Tanaka did not think that the Chinese police would classify Matsumoto Bieyun's actions as kidnapping; it was highly likely that he would be released after paying a certain amount of bail.

Plus, there was the person behind Matsumoto Bieyun...

Matsumoto Bieyun thought for a moment, when suddenly, the sound of the police officers' conversation reached his ears. They were speaking Mandarin, which he could barely understand.

"This time, we have the Sky Eye to thank. I didn't expect this thing to be able to identify human behavior as well," a young police officer said.

"Haha, that's shallow of you, isn't it?" another police officer laughed. "When Sky Eye first went online, you have no idea what the scene was like. It identified over a hundred wanted criminals in a single day; the detention center was almost full."

"Really?"

"Would I lie to you?"

The young police officer looked impressed. "Why didn't this thing come online earlier? If it had come online earlier, we wouldn't have had to work so hard."

"Who's to say it isn't?" The other police officer agreed wholeheartedly, his gaze glancing slightly at the rearview mirror. "However, the first time Sky Eye issued a Level 3 alert, it was to rescue a Japanese person. It really is..."

The police officer smacked his lips, suddenly thinking of something. "By the way, does this Japanese person speak Chinese?"

"He can speak a little," the young police officer replied, then asked curiously, "Brother Zhao, what is the origin of this Sky Eye?"

"I'm not too sure about that. I heard it was coordinated personally by the Chief. The company name is... look at my memory, what was that logo called every time we start Sky Eye?"

Another police officer, who was resting with his eyes closed nearby, said calmly, "It's called Frontier Technology."

"Frontier Technology?" The young police officer's eyes widened. "The Frontier Technology that has been exploding on the internet these past two days?"

"You know it?" The older police officer who spoke seemed surprised upon hearing this.

"Of course I know it!" the young police officer said excitedly. "Brother Zhao, you don't know how popular this Frontier Technology has been lately. The new generation Artificial Intelligence they launched—zero egg—has already sold out online!"

"There's such a thing?"

The older Brother Zhao was even more surprised.

Seeing that Brother Zhao didn't believe him, the young police officer took out his phone, turned off airplane mode, pulled up a webpage, clicked on a video, and handed the phone to Brother Zhao.

In the back row, Tanaka was no longer listening to what the police officers were saying; his mind was filled with the police officers' first sentence.

Sky Eye.

His rescue was related to this Sky Eye, and this Sky Eye was related to Frontier Technology, and Frontier Technology was Wang Shuo's company!

Rounding it up, his rescue was related to Wang Shuo!

Tanaka suddenly reached out and grabbed the shoulder of the police officer in front. The police officer in the front row was not startled; instead, he turned his head to look at Tanaka with a suspicious expression.

Tanaka spoke, word for word, in standard Mandarin pronunciation.

"I want to see Wang Shuo of Frontier Technology. I want to see him now."

"Please!"

...

"Tanaka wants to see me?"

Wang Shuo, having received the call, frowned slightly. He glanced at the young man opposite him and said calmly, "I won't see him."

The voice on the other end laughed. "He says he has very important matters to negotiate with you. Are you sure you won't see him?"

"I really won't see him, Uncle Li. I am very busy."

Wang Shuo felt a bit helpless.

This Tanaka was truly persistent.

He had deliberately left him hanging for a day, but he hadn't expected him to be so persistent as to go directly to the Police Station.

Please, is the police here to help you with things like this?

Do you know that wasting police resources is illegal?

"I know you are a busy person. Alright, I'll go tell him to go back as soon as possible."

Deputy Chief Li Mingwei responded with a chuckle.

"Mm, thank you, Uncle Li."

"By the way," Deputy Chief Li Mingwei said suddenly, "Wang Shuo, when will you come to the Police Station headquarters again to upgrade Sky Eye? We can also discuss the subsequent fulfillment of the contract."

"What? Did something happen to Sky Eye?"

Wang Shuo instantly tensed up.

Sky Eye was the only way to counter the mysterious forces at the moment. If this thing had a problem, it might very well mean the appearance of the mysterious forces.

"No," Deputy Chief Li Mingwei said with a smile. "It's working very well. It's precisely because it's useful that I'm asking you to upgrade it."

Wang Shuo let out a breath. It was good that there were no problems. He nodded and replied, "Don't worry, Uncle Li. Even if you didn't ask me, I would have made time to go there in the next few days."

"That's great." Deputy Chief Li Mingwei's voice was serious yet pleasant. However, he seemed to think of something immediately afterward and said, "By the way, Wang Shuo, I wonder if you could change the emergency alarm when you upgrade it?"

"The emergency alarm?" Wang Shuo looked confused and asked, "What's wrong with the emergency alarm?"

"This..." Deputy Chief Li Mingwei coughed twice. "It's nothing, it's just easy to throw one's back out."

Wang Shuo became even more confused. The emergency alarm and throwing one's back out... was there any necessary connection between the two?

However, since Deputy Chief Li Mingwei had already said it and it wasn't a big deal, Wang Shuo rubbed his nose and said, "Uncle Li, for small matters like this, you can directly order Sky Eye to modify it; it can even sing you a song."

Deputy Chief Li Mingwei: "..."

There was nothing left to say; Deputy Chief Li Mingwei silently hung up the phone.

He instantly felt that he was still a country bumpkin. Such high-tech equipment was right in front of him, yet he still didn't know how to use it?

Was he actually still using old-era thinking to adapt to new-era things?

Silently despising himself in his heart, Deputy Chief Li Mingwei looked up, stared at the big screen in front of him, and cleared his throat.

"Sky Eye, modify the emergency alarm."

...

Wang Shuo looked at the hung-up phone and rubbed his nose.

He didn't seem to have said anything excessive, so why did Uncle Li hang up without a word?

No longer dwelling on this matter, Wang Shuo looked up and looked with some curiosity at the young man sitting opposite him.

He had short hair, wore a pair of gold-rimmed casual-style glasses, and had a handsome face. In his hands, he held something that Wang Shuo was very familiar with.

A zero egg.

"He Chenguang?"

Wang Shuo asked.

"It is I."

The young man nodded gently, looked up, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes beneath the lenses.

"President Wang, I have heard much about you."
