“Is the robot research lab of country D going to cooperate with China’s robot research lab? China’s team was invited to visit the research lab this time, can you reveal what kind of technical departments you visited?”

“Excuse me, how does China’s Team feel after visiting Country D’s robot research lab?”

“Isn’t Country D’s robot research lab worried about the leakage of core robot technology by inviting the China members inside to have a look?”

“Is…”

…

The reporters got even more excited and they were acting as though they even wanted to know how many steps they took after entering the research lab.

It had to be known that this visit was a huge piece of international news. As long as they managed to get a piece of information, they would be able to report it however they like.

The one who responded was the President of Country D’s Robot Association, and one of the leaders of China, Leader Lu.

Country D’s Robot Association President said with a smile, “Everyone, you can slowly ask your questions. The reason why we invited China’s team to visit our robot research lab is so that both countries can progress together.”

Leader Lu also said, “Country D is the top country in terms of robot technology and our team members have benefited greatly from this visit. We also discussed the common development direction of robots for both countries.”

…

Everyone continued to ask, but the replies of the two country’s representatives were flawless. They did not reveal anything that shouldn’t be revealed.

However, there were too many reporters keeping guard here at this time. One whole hour had passed since the start of the questions.

Finally, they had finished answering all the reporter’s questions and China’s team was about to get in the car to leave.

All of a sudden, a large number of armed guards rushed out of the robot research lab.

These armed guards had Professor Dou and the China team surrounded.

Everyone present was confused.

“What’s going on?”

“What happened? Why did those guards surround the China team?”

“Could it be that something happened?”

Just as everyone was feeling baffled, a man with a colonel’s epaulet strode out. He announced in a loud voice, “The most cutting-edge AI chip in the research lab went missing. In order to identify and locate the thief, we have no choice but to detain everyone from the China team and hold them in custody until the chip is found.”

As soon as the colonel finished speaking, he waved his hand and the guards held everyone from China’s team in custody.

“We didn’t take your chip at all.”

“We didn’t even visit the most confidential department in your research lab. How could we possibly know where your chip went?”

“You guys are definitely doing this on purpose.”

The China team detected that the situation did not look good at the sight of these armed guards coming out. However, never in their imaginations did they think that these people would frame them.

They would certainly refuse to admit it and struggle in such a situation.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they started struggling, the colonel said sternly, “We are currently only suspicious of you, so please cooperate. If not we will have a reason to suspect you are the culprits. Do you know the consequences of stealing the most cutting-edge AI chip from the research lab?”

The confused reporters were inexplicably excited upon hearing the colonel’s speech.

The photographers continuously pressed the shutter on their cameras.

Soon, the situation here was uploaded online.

The whole internet exploded due to this incident.

“An expected behavior from a Country that is weak in robot technology. How could they do such a thing?!”

“They are really a disgrace to China. Country D is ranked first in the world in terms of robot technology. Are they trying to surpass Country D by stealing their chip?”

“Are the brains of those people scolding the China members for decoration? The one who emerged in first place in the international robot competition is China’s robot. Moreover, it was also Country D who invited the China team to visit. The moment China’s team came out, Country D’s research lab claims that their chip went missing. In my opinion, I think it’s a deliberate attempt by Country D to detain China’s team.”

“China’s robot only won a single competition and so do they think they’re that awesome? Country D surpasses China’s robot in all aspects. Their robot, Moonlight, merely won due to luck and this can’t prove anything!”

“That’s right. China’s team must have stolen the most cutting-edge chip from Country D’s research lab. They must be strictly investigated.”

“Hmph! Those scolding the China team must be hired keyboard warriors. China’s team aren’t fools, why would they try to steal Country D’s chip while they are receiving such attention worldwide?”

“That’s right. It’s no wonder Country D only invited China’s team to visit. They are clearly digging a hole for them to jump in!”

“It’s a conspiracy. This is absolutely a conspiracy!”

“I think that it’s because the China team visited Country D’s research lab and realized that there were plenty of cutting-edge chips they could not develop and thus, they took advantage of the situation to steal one.”

…

There were all sorts of comments on the internet.

At the same time, China’s Embassy had also issued a notice to Country D’s Embassy for the release of their people.

After the diplomacy talks between the two sides, the answer Country D’s robot research lab gave was: As long as China can prove that they didn’t steal the chip, they would release them.

Such a huge change happened in a single day and nearly the whole world knew of it.

There were many saying that those from China were goners and that China’s research lab was also dead meat.

If they were unable to prove themselves, not only would the first place they receive be questioned, even the several cutting-edge robot research results they recently announced would be questioned.

For a period of time, everyone’s attention was on China’s research lab.

When Zi Yi received Mr. Qin’s phone call, she was currently in a cake shop eating cakes and drinking milk tea as she watched a video from the World’s Economic Conference.

She answered the call and casually greeted the other person.

Mr. Qin’s voice did not sound urgent either and he even had the time to ask about his son’s situation with great interest.

Zi Yi took a sip of milk tea and said irresponsibly, “He’s most probably hidden in a certain corner or he might have been caught by the Major General.”

Mr. Qin said confidently after two seconds of silence, “I feel that the brat hasn’t been caught yet. He’s not that weak.”

After he finished asking about his son, he moved on to the main topic. “What do you think about Professor Dou and the team’s situation?”

“What opinions could I possibly have?” Zi Yi said, “Since Country D’s robot research lab wants to play a big game, let’s play along with them.”

Mr. Qin asked again, “How do you plan to play with them?”

Instead of answering, Zi Yi asked, “What do you think about breaking in directly and bringing them out?”

Mr. Qin asked her, “Aren’t you afraid that Country D is doing this to lure you out?”

Zi Yi clearly answered him, “Isn’t this obvious enough? They’re doing this on purpose.”

Mr. Qin: “…”

Zi Yi took another sip and said, “Country D’s milk tea isn’t good.”

Mr. Qin subconsciously added and said, “The cake there is not bad though.”

Zi Yi responded affirmatively and used the spoon to cut the cake.

Mr. Qin changed the topic back again and asked, “When do you plan to take action?”

Zi Yi said, “I’ll wait until Ah Jing returns to the embassy after today’s meeting.”

The World Economic Conference was held for three consecutive days, from nine o’clock in the morning to three o’clock in the afternoon. It was currently one o’clock in the afternoon.
