27: Chapter 27 Xu Hao: My workshop is surrounded?

Seeing this bullet comment, Reporter Li Fei frowned.

"People from the Dragon Academy of Sciences? Are you joking?"

This... this is just a live broadcast of current events.

How could people from the Dragon Academy of Sciences come here to watch this kind of livestream?

Reporter Li Fei felt a bit skeptical.

However, her tone was no longer as overbearing as before.

If one listened closely, she even sounded a bit lacking in confidence.

"Why would someone from the Dragon Academy of Sciences come to my livestream? Hehe..."

Reporter Li Fei said stubbornly.

However.

She still scrolled through the bullet comment history and found the viewer who had just demanded she shut down the livestream immediately.

Then, she clicked on it to check their personal profile.

Underneath the profile picture, she saw a blue V verification:

Dragon Academy of Sciences Intern!!

"It really is someone from the Dragon Academy of Sciences?!"

Reporter Li Fei's mouth hung open slightly as she exclaimed in surprise.

She hadn't expected the viewer who told her to close the stream to actually be a big shot, and from the Dragon Academy of Sciences at that.

Even if it was just a lowly intern.

But this was the Dragon Academy of Sciences!!

Even an intern had to go through layers of selection to get in.

The viewers in the livestream also witnessed all of this.

Instantly, bullet comments flew across the screen as emotions exploded.

"Holy crap, it really is a giant, and from the Dragon Academy of Sciences too."

"It's over, Feifei kicked a steel plate."

"Turns out they weren't just posing; they're actually the real deal."

"Why did he want Sister Fei to close the livestream? Could these things be real?"

"..."

Looking at the viewers who were either jeering or just watching the spectacle.

Reporter Li Fei's current mood was extremely uneasy.

Even someone from the Dragon Academy of Sciences had explicitly told her to close the stream to avoid leaking secrets.

Doesn't that mean the things inside the Xu's Heavy Industry workshop might actually be real?

"Quick! Stop filming the workshop for now!"

Snapping out of it, Reporter Li Fei immediately told Cameraman Bai Zhuang to pull back the camera.

Regardless of whether it was real or not, now that such a situation had arisen, it was better to stop filming.

"I told you these weren't props, but you didn't believe me?"

Although Cameraman Bai Zhuang had retracted the camera, he was well aware of everything that had just happened.

He thought about how he had repeatedly told Reporter Li Fei not to film and to leave quickly, but she wouldn't listen, insisting they were just props and there was no problem.

Now look, they've even attracted people from the Dragon Academy of Sciences.

"He didn't say these things were real either; he just told us to close the livestream."

"It's very likely they're afraid the public opinion about Xu's Heavy Industry will spread further and cause unnecessary trouble."

Reporter Li Fei continued to make excuses.

Just then, the sound of rhythmic footsteps echoed in the corridor.

Reporter Li Fei and Cameraman Bai Zhuang turned their heads at the same time.

At the end of the corridor, two squads of police officers in uniform appeared, carrying live ammunition.

They were lined up in two rows, running down the corridor with synchronized steps.

At the fork in the corridor, they split into two groups and surrounded the entire workshop.

Reporter Li Fei and Cameraman Bai Zhuang were instantly frozen in place with fear.

What was going on?

Why did the police suddenly arrive?!

And they even surrounded the Xu's Heavy Industry workshop.

While they were dazed, two officers walked up to Reporter Li Fei and Cameraman Bai Zhuang, showed their identification, and said:

"Greetings, comrade!"

"We are law enforcement officers from the Third Police Station."

"Following an investigation by relevant departments, you are suspected of leaking national security secrets."

"You are hereby ordered to immediately shut down the live broadcast and turn off your cameras. Follow the instructions of the law enforcement officers and come with us right now!!"

Reporter Li Fei's face turned pale in an instant.

When she saw the officers walking toward them just now, she had a faint sense of foreboding.

When the officer in front of her said they were suspected of leaking national security secrets, her mind went completely blank with a boom!!

Suspected of leaking national security secrets?!

This... this...

"Of... Officer, have you made a mistake? We've never been involved with state secrets..."

Reporter Li Fei's voice trembled, her face full of terror.

Didn't they just start a live broadcast?

How were they now being charged with leaking national security?

"No, no... Officer, I didn't do anything..."

Cameraman Bai Zhuang waved his hands frantically, his face deathly pale, his voice stuttering.

He looked at the two officers in front of him in terror, his mind a complete blank.

It's over! Everything is over!!

Leaking national security secrets...

That's a capital offense!!

But no matter how the two of them argued or pleaded, the officers took them away without another word.

The side door wasn't far from the workshop.

The commotion here quickly caught the attention of the people inside the workshop.

"What's going on?"

Xu Hao moved from one side of the Doomsday Vehicle to the other, where he could just see the side door.

He saw two people carrying a camera and a microphone being led away by two people in police uniforms.

"Reporters? How did they get in?"

"And why did police suddenly show up in the factory and take them away?"

Xu Hao was full of confusion, not knowing what had happened.

Just then, an officer walked over.

"Greetings, comrade. This area is temporarily under control."

"Until the people from the relevant departments arrive, no one is allowed to enter or leave the factory grounds. Please cooperate with us!"

The officer reached out to stop Xu Hao, preventing him from going out through the side door.

"Under control?"

Xu Hao frowned, his face filled with incomprehension.

Why was it suddenly under control?

He hadn't called the police.

Besides, if they were investigating Xu's Heavy Industry, weren't the comrades from the Tax Bureau already here?

Could people from other official departments be coming?

He looked at Director Ma of the Local Tax Bureau.

Ma Wenkang was also completely bewildered.

They had come to Xu's Heavy Industry to investigate and gather evidence according to their superiors' orders and Xu Hao's invitation.

Why were people from the police station here now too?

"Hello, comrade. I am Ma Wenkang from the Tax Section of the Local Tax Bureau. I am conducting a tax investigation under orders from my superiors. You guys are..."

The Tax Bureau came to investigate, and now the police station had sent people too.

Isn't this snatching their job?

Ma Wenkang looked around the workshop; by now, the officers had surrounded the entire place in a circle.

An officer stood in almost every corner.

The workers inside the workshop were also intimidated by the current display, standing in place and not daring to make a move.

"Comrades, we have received a direct order from the municipal level."

"Due to operational security requirements, the purpose of this operation cannot be disclosed until the relevant professional personnel arrive."

"Please cooperate with us and stay in the workshop without moving around."

"Otherwise, if any special circumstances arise, we will take special measures."

"Please understand! Thank you for your cooperation!!"

Ma Wenkang was stunned; he hadn't expected the police to be so firm.

Moreover, it was actually a direct order from the municipal level.

Xu Hao was also dumbfounded.

Out of nowhere, the workshop was surrounded by the police?!
