Chapter 536: Representing Chu Luo’s Parents
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Not only did the gaming capsule incorporate computer science, mathematics, but it also incorporated physics, chemistry, and medicine… Only Chu Luo knew these things.
“But if we don’t find the culprit, he’ll be a time bomb. Besides, since he can steal these things, he might know something you know.”
Chu Luo thought for a while and nodded. She subconsciously exuded a trace of cold air. “Professor Wu, don’t worry. I’ll observe everyone inside later. As long as it’s one of them, I’ll immediately find the culprit.”
Professor Wu knew Chu Luo’s ability and didn’t say anything else.
The two of them walked out.
Chu Luo stood among the busy technicians and quietly touched her Heaven-and-Earth pouch. She quickly took out a copper bell and shook it.
The moment the bell rang, everyone instantly stopped moving.
Chu Luo quickly chanted an incantation and asked, “Who came to the technology building last night?”
After asking that, the entire space fell silent.
No one stood up.
Chu Luo’s eyes flickered and she shook the bell again.
The still scene instantly returned to its original busy state.
No one noticed the abnormality just now.
At this moment, Professor Mongla happened to look up and call out to Chu Luo, “Chu, come and take a look.”
Chu Luo walked over.
Professor Mongla said, “We checked all the information on the computers just now. Indeed, all of it has been stolen.”
Chu Luo nodded and glanced at Professor Wu.
Professor Wu understood and walked over to take a look. He said sternly, “I’ll report this matter to the higher-ups first.”
After saying that, he brought Chu Luo to the conference room.
The moment the door closed, Professor Wu initiated a video call with the Blazing Glory Gaming Headquarters.
A few seconds later, Li Yan appeared in front of them.
“CEO Li.”
Li Yan nodded and asked Chu Luo, “Are there any traitors among the technicians?”
“No.” Chu Luo shook her head.
Li Yan nodded and said to the two of them, “Since the culprit isn’t among these people, continue with the experiment. I’ll send someone to deal with the rest.”
Professor Wu was silent for a few seconds before suddenly suggesting, “CEO Li, all the data in the gaming capsule has been encrypted. Moreover, there are many techniques from other disciplines mixed in. I think we can find the person who stole the data last night from this.”
Li Yan had long thought of this. He nodded. “The people from Blazing Glory’s online gaming department will take note.”
Only then was Professor Wu relieved.
The few of them spoke for a while more before ending the call.
The two of them walked out and continued their research.
In the Imperial University campus.
Today, all the teachers and students in Imperial University felt that the atmosphere was amiss. There were more security guards patrolling the school, and robots would scan every school building and dormitory building.
Everyone was stunned by Imperial University’s sudden actions.
“Could it be that some important figure is coming to Imperial University to take a look?”
“It’s possible. The two matters officially announced by Imperial University yesterday had such a huge impact. The higher-ups will definitely take it seriously.”
“I wonder if Professor Wu and the others will find someone to do the internal testing. I want to register too.”
“Me too. I dreamt I was in a holographic game all night last night.”
“Me too. I even dreamed that all the students in Imperial University entered the holographic game and became the king in it.”
…
During lunch, Chu Luo heard this kind of discussion the most.
She felt that it was a good thing that Imperial University had sealed off the news so quickly. At the very least, they could lower that person’s guard.
However, others might not know, but Wu Yiyao definitely did.
Wu Yiyao called Chu Luo as soon as school ended.
As she had class in the morning, Chu Luo went to the restaurant first to help her order the food.
The moment Wu Yiyao sat down, she asked softly, “Little Chu, is there any progress?”
Chu Luo shook her head at her.
As she couldn’t ask in such a place, Wu Yiyao said, “Let’s go to my father’s apartment after eating.”
Chu Luo nodded.
The two of them started eating.
After the meal, Chu Luo and Wu Yiyao went to Professor Wu’s apartment.
Professor Wu and Professor Mongla rested at the technology building at noon and wouldn’t come back.
After the two of them entered, Wu Yiyao poured Chu Luo a glass of water and sat down. “Little Chu, who do you think entered the technology building last night?”
“Not that group of technicians.”
“Then… it must be someone who knows the technology building very well. Actually, I have an idea. Don’t you think it’s possible that it’s the administrator of the technology building or that the manager is an accomplice?”
Chu Luo thought for a while with the glass of water and said, “I’ll pay attention to this person when the time comes.”
When Wu Yiyao heard her say that, she thought for a while and said, “Actually, I have another guess… I think some of the heads of Imperial University are also suspicious.”
Chu Luo looked up at Wu Yiyao.
She knew that Wu Yiyao was meticulous, but she hadn’t expected her to think so much.
Chu Luo said, “I’ll talk to the principal later.”
Wu Yiyao heaved a sigh of relief. “Actually, I don’t think it’s a big deal that those programs were hacked. The most important thing is not to let anyone know what you did there.”
“Mm.”
Chu Luo didn’t stay long. She chatted with Wu Yiyao for a while before leaving.
After walking out of the professor’s residence, Chu Luo took out her phone and looked at the time.
She hadn’t had the time to return Anya’s call in the morning. It was midnight in America, and she felt that it was better not to disturb Anya.
Just as she was about to take back her phone, a message suddenly came in.
It was from Li Yan.
Li Yan: “Come to the school’s head office building.”
Although Chu Luo was a little surprised, her mood became very good at the thought that he had arrived at Imperial University.
When Chu Luo went over, a car was parked in front of the office building. A group of guards was standing at a few intersections with armed guards standing by the door.
Fortunately, there weren’t many students here, and it was also during lunch break. Otherwise, it would cause panic.
Chu Luo walked towards the door of the office building, but the guards didn’t stop her.
The moment she entered, she saw Secretary Tan standing in the hall.
Secretary Tan was obviously waiting for her. Seeing her enter, he immediately said, “Miss Chu, Master is in the principal’s office.”
Chu Luo nodded and the two of them walked upstairs.
The atmosphere in the entire office building was very serious. Be it the corridor or the staircase, there was no one walking around.
The two of them arrived at the floor of the principal’s office. Seeing that there were guards everywhere, Chu Luo asked Secretary Tan, “Who from the Sun family is here?”
“Eldest Master Sun.”
As they spoke, they arrived outside the principal’s office.
Secretary Tan knocked on the door and pushed it open.
There was only Eldest Master Sun, the principal, and Li Yan in the principal’s office. The three of them stood at the same time. Eldest Master Sun had a serious expression while Li Yan had a cold expression. On the other hand, the principal seemed to be stuck in the middle and didn’t know how to react.
When he saw Chu Luo standing by the door, he subconsciously heaved a sigh of relief and quickly waved at her. “Little Chu, come in.”
Chu Luo walked in alone and Secretary Tan closed the door again.
The principal said to Eldest Master Sun, “Eldest Master Sun, let’s sit down and talk.”
Eldest Master Sun glanced at Chu Luo and asked her, “Has Little Chu been affected these past two days?”
Chu Luo replied obediently, “No.”
Eldest Master Sun was relieved and walked to the sofa to sit.
Seeing Eldest Master Sun sit down, the principal quickly went over to pour him a glass of water and gestured to Chu Luo. “Little Chu, come over with CEO Li and have a seat.”
Chu Luo nodded and tugged at Li Yan’s clothes. The two of them walked over and sat down.
Eldest Master Sun went straight to the point. “Last night, regarding the theft of the gaming capsule data developed jointly by Blazing Glory and Imperial University, I’m only representing Chu Luo’s parents in the investigation.”
When the principal heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He subconsciously glanced at Chu Luo, who was sitting beside Li Yan.
Eldest Master Sun added, “Last night, the Sun family’s guards were guarding outside Imperial University. There are detailed records of everyone who went out or came in in the middle of the night.”
The principal also said, “Early this morning, I asked all the school’s security guards to mobilize and control the entire Imperial University. I even pulled all the surveillance cameras to check the video from last night. There was also no proof that the people who entered and left early this morning had gone to the technology building.”
After hearing the principal’s words, they were silent for a while.
Chu Luo was about to speak when Li Yan said first, “The most likely culprits are the administrator of that building and the school’s heads.”
Chu Luo nodded. “Yes. Professor Wu and I also tested the technicians who developed the gaming capsule with us. They weren’t suspicious.”
Eldest Master Sun and the principal’s expressions darkened.
If it was really one of the school’s heads or the administrator guarding the technology building, the matter might be more serious than they imagined.
The principal immediately called all the school’s heads and administrators of the technology building to come for a meeting.
The four of them waited for nearly half an hour before all the school’s heads arrived.
