Li Bu, however, thought: As expected of the robot that Mr. Wen cares about.
The tall 575 looked quite handsome today, no, it should be excessively handsome.
Whenever 575 rode a motorcycle, he always wore tight-fitting attire.
These tight-fitting clothes really showed off his physique and suited his temperament.
Wen Bai tossed the helmet in his hand to the tall robot.
Old Zhang and Li Bu quickly walked over, "Mr. Wen, you're here."
Wen Bai nodded. He said expressionlessly, "What do you need me to do?"
This...
Old Zhang was in a dilemma. He hadn't expected Mr. Wen to be so proactive and arrive so quickly.
He must have set off not long after hanging up the phone. Old Zhang mentally calculated the distance from Mr. Wen's home to this place.
No matter which luxurious villa area he came from, it wouldn't be this fast.
He hadn't even finished making arrangements!
Seeing this, Li Bu tried to smooth things over, "Mr. Wen, please rest for a while. We'll start in a bit. Knowing you were coming, I specially prepared some snacks and tea."
Wen Bai heard about snacks and thought that was acceptable.
He nodded indifferently and followed Li Bu.
As they walked, Wen Bai seemed to recall something and casually asked, "Regarding Ren Liuliu, whom I asked you to investigate previously..."
Wen Bai had only started the sentence, and Li Bu understood, "Mr. Wen, you truly have a discerning eye. You saw that there was something wrong with that woman at a glance. After my investigation, she secretly copied many achievements from the robot research center. Although we haven't found evidence of her reselling information, most of the data that was copied has been retrieved or promptly cleared by us."
Wen Bai nodded.
Li Bu continued, "If it had gone undiscovered, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Recently, internal rectification has also begun within the research center in this regard. Please rest assured, we will absolutely prevent such incidents from happening again, no, there will be no next time!"
"Is she involved with any other companies in robot research?"
Li Bu said indignantly, "After doing something like that, how could she still have such opportunities? Now, no legitimate company on the market will accept her. You must know that this constitutes theft of confidential documents from the research center."
Wen Bai found a loophole in his words, "Legitimate companies? Are there also illegitimate robot companies?"
Li Bu said, "Yes, there are. Many black markets are dealing in robots and need talent in this area. Only researchers who are completely blacklisted by legitimate enterprises would end up working in such underground black markets. Recently, there have also been many news reports about robots mysteriously disappearing. Many domestic robots have never returned after going out on errands. The police are cracking down severely..."
Wen Bai frowned as he listened.
He had miscalculated.
His initial thought was to have the female lead leave this industry. As long as she couldn't access robot research work and left the top technical departments, it would naturally be less easy for her to destroy robots.
Wen Bai really hadn't expected that there would be an underground black market specifically targeting robots.
After the experience of last night, Wen Bai was certain that the uncontrolled robots appeared more in gray areas and black markets than on the streets.
He hadn't figured out the direction yet, but if the female lead were to be directly accepted by the underground black market by chance,
Wen Bai would have suffered a loss instead of gaining anything.
Wen Bai thought expressionlessly whether he should hire the female lead back and keep her under his watchful eye.
The two had already walked to the resting area arranged by Li Bu.
However, someone was already sitting in the place Li Bu had arranged.
Gou Zhe was sitting on a chair, looking down at his phone.
Li Bu led Wen Bai to another chair.
Hearing the movement, Gou Zhe looked up, and Wen Bai was startled.
He saw the other person with dark circles that were visible to the naked eye, looking listless.
Gou Zhe had only sat down here when Wen Bai arrived.
Li Bu was stunned when he saw Gou Zhe's face.
"You, what happened to you?" Li Bu asked instinctively.
Gou Zhe looked at him expressionlessly.
Glaring coldly at him, Li Bu realized his expression was too surprised.
He tried to cover up, "Ah, I see, is this some popular makeup trend? Weren't there also hangover looks before? Is this a 'staying up all night' look?"
Gou Zhe continued to glare at Li Bu, emitting a death stare.
Li Bu dejectedly said, "Well, I don't understand these things of yours."
Li Bu turned to Wen Bai and said, "Mr. Wen, please rest here for a while. I'll go help out first!"
Wen Bai nodded.
Li Bu immediately slipped away.
Gou Zhe watched Li Bu's retreating back, his eyes slowly shifting from a death stare to exhaustion.
Last night, he had really stayed up all night.
As he grew older, he suddenly realized he couldn't stay up late anymore.
He remembered that when he was on missions, he could chase uncontrolled robots all night without getting tired.
But last night, he chased uncontrolled robots for an entire night and caught none of them.
It also led to his lack of energy today. He hadn't had time to sleep and rushed here directly. Those dark circles couldn't even be covered by the best concealer.
He couldn't stay up so late anymore in the future.
However, he hadn't expected there to be so many uncontrolled robots there last night.
Last night, he was initially chasing 3 uncontrolled robots. He lost track of them at first and was tricked by one of them.
When he reacted and chased after them, they had already vanished in the alley.
He had originally given up, but on his way back, he encountered uncontrolled robots again.
The uncontrolled robots there were excessively arrogant, even killing people in the street.
Last night, half of the people in one shop were killed by uncontrolled robots.
However, Gou Zhe had never had much sympathy for humans who dealt in robots and coerced them.
For such people, they had to bear the consequences of their business.
But the events of last night were enough to make Gou Zhe's heart pound.
Last night, at the crime scene on that street, there was a surviving child. He didn't know how the child ended up here.
It was a little boy.
In such a situation, the child, who had no ability to protect himself, should not have survived.
But that little boy had survived, standing among a pile of corpses.
At that moment, Gou Zhe even suspected that the little boy might be an uncontrolled robot.
If he had heard correctly, when he asked the little boy why he was there,
The little boy only cried out a name loudly. That name, no matter how he heard it, did not sound like a human name.
Was it a pet?
Gou Zhe thought so.
