Chapter 21 The Headmaster is Happy
Hearing the two thugs he hired say this, Boss Wu came to his senses. Yes, he spent a lot of money to equip them with jammers. Not to mention that the two of them avoided surveillance cameras all the way. Even if they really walked under the surveillance, the jammers would prevent the surveillance cameras from recording anything. As for why the police came to his door?
It must be that these two people were careless and were seen when they came out. They followed him all the way to the company and caused him trouble.
Boss Wu scolded in a low voice: "What should we do now?"
It wasn't the first time the two thugs had done something like this. They patted their chests and assured him, "Don't worry, boss. We have no evidence. As long as we deny it, nothing will happen to us."
Boss Wu continued, "What if there's a witness?"
The two thugs said: "Human witnesses are nothing. Since there is no physical evidence, we can sue them for defamation!"
Boss Wu decided to trust the professional qualities of the criminals.
Boss Wu, feeling confident that this trip would be alright, relaxed. Then, when they arrived at the police station, a righteous police officer said sternly, "We've received a report from Fantasy Park. According to the park's manager, two people stole valuable property, including a box of holographic glasses, and handed the box to you. The Fantasy Park manager suspects you of instigating the crime and has provided evidence."
Boss Wu was about to say that the other party could not have any evidence when the police quickly pulled out a surveillance video. It recorded all the movements of the two thugs after they entered the park, including the entire process of them entering the park's warehouse to steal and then leaving. On the 4K high-definition screen, the faces of the two thugs were as clear as if they were in a TV drama. The voices were also recorded very clearly. You could hear "Boss Wu told us what time to deliver it, etc." Boss Wu was dumbfounded before he finished watching it.
The police then showed him the international shipping information and payment records that Boss Wu had recently sent. They said, "Boss Wu, you're suspected of abetting crime and reselling stolen goods. The amount involved is extremely large. The maximum sentence is ten years or more, and your illegal gains will be confiscated. Find a lawyer as soon as possible!"
Boss Wu collapsed in his chair.
At the same time, the two thugs who were being interrogated separately also shouted, "Impossible! There are no cameras where we went. This must be fake, it must be a special effect made by the park!"
The police were speechless and announced that the two men were guilty of theft. Combined with their other criminal records, they would be in jail for years. After dealing with the two thugs who were clamoring to find Boss Wu, the police closed the case and contacted Fantasy Paradise.
The next day, Jinan City TV released a report about the fantasy park.
"Yesterday, police in our city's Xinghu District cracked a theft case involving a particularly large sum of money. The suspect, Wu, instructed suspects Cai and Li to steal a box of holographic glasses from Fantasy Park. Reportedly, the box contained 50 pairs of holographic glasses. Wu sold them abroad for 60,000 yuan a pair, generating a total illegal profit of 3 million yuan..."
Netizens who saw this news were shocked.
"What kind of person is this? This is as bad as reselling cultural relics!"
"The glasses in Fantasyland aren't considered artifacts, but they are holographic. I've been to the park and they look and feel like plastic, but you can tell with a toe that they're definitely not ordinary plastic glasses! They must contain extremely advanced technology. Someone in our country finally developed this, and then they secretly sold it abroad. Whoever's been so greedy for money must be crazy!"
"He's not just crazy about money, I think he's a traitor! Our country has been subjected to numerous technological blockades by foreign countries. We finally managed to catch up, but we're betrayed by this guy. This traitor deserves to be shot!"
"I know this Wu guy. Even though his face is blurred, someone familiar with him should still be able to recognize him. He runs a small company in Jin'an City. When Fantasy Park first became famous, he wanted to get a piece of the action, but the director disagreed. Unexpectedly, he harbored a grudge and stole glasses to sell. He must be envious of Fantasy Park's booming business, and he's bloody jealous!"
"This kind of person is really terrible. He harms others and himself."
The second half of the report included an interview with the director of Fantasyland. The young director's face was tense, his cheeks trembling uncontrollably from time to time. When the reporter asked him about his feelings and thoughts, he said with a stern face, "It was too late when we discovered the theft of the park's property. The glasses can't be recovered. I'm very... uh, sad. But don't worry, the loss is not serious, and the suspect has already compensated me for the illegal gains... Don't worry, our team is urgently researching naked-eye holographic technology, and I believe it will be available to everyone soon. However, because of this incident, the park will be temporarily closed for another three days, which will cause inconvenience to everyone..."
When netizens saw that the theme park, which had been closed for two days, would be closed for another three days, they burst into tears.
The comment section was filled with crying emojis, and the barrage was filled with reluctant voices.
"Wow, I'm crying! I'm from Jinan City, and my family lives in Xinghu District. My whole family has been there, but I haven't. I finally got some time off and planned to go tomorrow, but the park is closing again tomorrow... I'm going to bite that person who stole my glasses to death!"
"Everyone, look at the headmaster's expression. My god, I feel like his facial muscles are all out of whack. He must be so upset he's about to cry, but he's trying hard to hold it back!"
"The loss must be too severe! The better AR glasses cost tens of thousands of dollars, and the experience is incomparable to holographic glasses. The holographic glasses in Fantasy Park are so lightweight, yet so powerful. You can imagine they're very expensive to counterfeit. They're being sold for just 60,000. I'd kill that glasses thief!"
"Last time I went to the park, I had to queue to get in. I couldn't even buy a ticket for the viewing gallery. Besides the park being really small, there's probably also a shortage of holographic glasses! I hope the director can relax. Health is important, and sadness hurts!"
"Ticket prices at the park are already dirt cheap. Even if they double the price when the park reopens, it still won't cover the cost! I saw an interview with the park director last time, and he said the entire team sold their houses and cars to fund the holographic technology research. I wonder how long it will take to recoup their investment. That three million dollars won't even cover the loss of the holographic glasses!"
"I feel so sorry for the principal. Why does he have to be such a disgusting person? Why does he want to stifle the hard work of young people?"
…
The comments were filled with sympathy for the director, who, having laughed all day until his cheeks ached, nearly tweeted, "I just made three million for nothing! My cheeks are aching from laughing!" He rubbed his face and quickly posted on the official Weibo and video platform accounts: "Don't worry, everyone! The loss isn't serious. I'm not sad. I'm actually quite happy."
Comments: "It's over. The headmaster is so upset he's gone crazy and started talking nonsense."
"Director, are you really happy? Do you want to go to the hospital? Don't get me wrong, I don't think you're sick. I just think you might be under too much psychological pressure."
"Director, it's okay to be sad. It's okay to cry. It's not a sin for a man to cry."
Chi Yizhen: ...
How come these netizens are so good at imagining things?
He wanted to post another update to appease netizens, but after typing a few words, he felt that it was useless, so he deleted the previous text and posted a notice instead: Fantasy Park will resume business on August 3, and two new holographic experience areas will be added, the viewing corridor will be increased, and the holographic glasses will be completely eliminated to create a shocking naked-eye holographic effect. The ticket price will also be adjusted to 50 yuan (no fees will be charged for any items after entering the park), and everyone is welcome to visit the park.
As soon as this news was released, netizens were instantly excited. After all, compared to caring about the director who had no relatives or friends, most people cared more about their own gaming experience and excitedly rolled around in the comment section requesting more previews.
Chi Yizhen felt relieved after seeing this scene.
What a pity, I had wanted to give everyone a surprise when the park opened.
