Chapter 879: We Can’t Even Be Bothered To Do Anything to Your Robot
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After Country D’s team heard their whispers, some of them became flushed from anger and they started arguing back.
“Our team would not even bother looking at your robot, let alone touching it.”
“That’s right. Don’t think that just because your robot won the first two matches, it’s all that amazing. It’s obviously a fluke and it’s not like we don’t know the level of your robot technology.”
“We can’t even be bothered to do anything to your robot for goodness sake.”
After hearing their comments, the flames of fury were finally ignited. In particular, Engineer Peng. He shouted in a loud voice, “If you aren’t the ones, then tell us. Who else can come in here? I request to view the surveillance!”!!
Carus did not head over but instead, he stood by the side and looked at the commotion with indifference. A cold smile curved up on his lips.
These people are surely naive!
Do they really think that they can find any clues from the surveillance?
Country D was not only ranked first in terms of robot technology. Their network technology was also on the same level as Country A.
Carus came over and spoke to them with a seemingly ok attitude. “Dear friends from China, since you mentioned someone touched Moonlight and you are suspecting it’s someone from our team, let’s bring out the surveillance then.”
Having said that, he called for a staff member and said, “Immediately get people from the monitoring room to copy over the surveillance from noontime.”
Following that, he looked at Professor Dou and the other two leaders. “Please follow me to the monitoring room.”
Carus was too generous and those who were suspecting Country D’s team of doing something underhanded were a little shaken.
“Could it be that it wasn’t their team?”
“We can’t be sure. The security here is so tight and if one doesn’t have the authority, they wouldn’t be able to come in at all. Perhaps it’s people from the Robot Research Institute or the Robot Association.”
“Why are you all doubting the Robot Research Institute? The robot technology of Country D is the top worldwide. Why would they need to secretly tamper with China’s robots? In my opinion, I feel that it’s because China’s team had a draw with Country D’s robot in the second match. They wish to win the finals and so, they are deliberately framing Country D’s team.”
This comment made everyone ponder for some time. There were many of them who found it to be rather reasonable.
Engineer Meng was so angry that veins popped out on his forehead. He clenched his fists and had the impulsive urge to beat up those people.
Carus deliberately waited for everyone to have a discussion amongst themselves first before he suddenly changed his expression and said in a serious voice, “Since China’s team insists on checking the surveillance, we are also willing to cooperate. However, we should make things clear beforehand. If after watching the surveillance and it proves that our team wasn’t the culprits, you have to apologize to us in front of everyone.”
The moment Carus said that, the two leaders and the engineers suddenly felt a bad premonition welling up inside.
“There was a two-hours break at noon and even if they really tampered with Moonlight, they would have destroyed the evidence long ago.”
“That’s right. Otherwise, they would not possibly be so calm.”
Everyone turned to look at Professor Dou.
He pondered for a while in silence before he looked up at Carus with an indifferent expression as he said, “I agree. But please connect the surveillance here directly. Since we are watching, we’ll have everyone see it.”
Carus sneered deep down inside. “Sure.”
There just so happened to be a big display screen in the basement and the monitoring room quickly connected to the display.
Everyone stared at the display screen and it rewinded back to when everyone left the venue.
When they saw two individuals from Country D’s Robot Association coming out from a secret door, everyone’s expression became strange.
In particular, traces of surprise flashed across Carus’ face.
Why would there be two people in the surveillance?
They had clearly wiped all the traces of their visit at this time.
Professor Dou looked at Carus’ expression and just so happened to see the traces of surprise on his face. He somehow felt that there was a problem with the two people who appeared on the surveillance.
No matter what, people from Country D had indeed done something to their robot.
Before Professor Dou said anything, Leader Lu asked Carus with a serious expression, “Mr. Carus, how are you going to explain this?”
“This…” Carus practically thought of a countermeasure at the same time. He had a shocked expression and said, “I didn’t even know these two people had done this!”
Having said that, he revealed an angry expression. “I don’t even know these two people and they aren’t from our team. From the looks of it, the clothes they are wearing belong to the robot club. Please wait, I’ll immediately call the managers of the robot club to find out what happened.”
Carus took out his phone and made a phone call.
Before long, they saw two managers dressed in suits and ties striding over in their direction.
“Sir Carus, what happened?”
Carus pointed at the two individuals shown on the screen and recounted to them the situation.
After the two managers heard the story, their expressions turned serious.
“Among these two people, one of them is part of the logistics team of our club while the other is a temporary worker.”
The other manager said to Professor Dou, “Please rest assured that we will immediately locate these two people.”
Having said that, he made a phone call to someone to get them to bring those two individuals over.
While they were waiting, one of the managers of Country D’s robot club continuously apologized to the China team and said, “Esteemed guests, you can do a check on whether your robot is damaged or not and if it will affect the robot from performing normally in the competition. If someone really has gone wrong and it’s confirmed that our club caused it, we will give you a public apology and delay the finals.”
Since the manager of the robot club had already made such a promise, no matter how angry the China team was, they could only go and check up on Moonlight.
The two individuals captured in the surveillance were brought over very soon.
Both of them refused to admit it and even if the surveillance was shown right in front of their faces, they did not admit to it either.
“The evidence is conclusive. Since you don’t wish to admit it, then we can only hand you over to the military department.”
Both of their expressions turned white in an instant and they started struggling even harder.
The manager immediately ordered the guards to take them away.
The manager of the robot club checked the time and asked the China team, “We will provide you with a satisfactory explanation, but right now, there are still five minutes before the start of the competition. I wonder if there is any problem with your robot? If there’s something wrong, we can postpone the match.”
The China team subconsciously looked at Professor Dou.
The others also followed suit.
Professor Dou thought of what his niece had said before they came and he said, “No need. We’ll continue with the competition now.”
After hearing his words, there were those who were surprised and confused, but Carus smiled even more widely deep down inside.
The finals of the robot competition started at 2 p.m.
The announcer’s excited voice sounded through the speakers. “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the international robot competition. We’ve been looking forward to the finals for more than two hours. Are you all excited and looking forward to it?”
Right now, we can see all five robots who advanced to the finals standing on the competition stage. The content of the finals is….
