Chapter 73 The Whole Internet is in a Frenzy

Special Task Force Command Center.

On the massive electronic map, the dozens of blue dots representing their own police forces looked incredibly messy and battered.

They had once formed a tight, massive net, attempting to surround and capture that tiny red target, but now, this net had been easily torn to shreds.

That red dot representing dragon knight no. 1 had long since broken through the final blockade and disappeared at the end of the expressway leading to the neighboring city.

"Report to Command Center... Interception failed... Repeat, interception failed..."

"The target vehicle is too fast, our police cars... can't catch up..."

"Requesting instructions..."

In the earpieces, the voices transmitted back by the last few pursuit units were filled with fatigue and frustration, and even a sense of indescribable absurdity.

Listening to these reports, Team Leader Chen Jianjun felt speechless.

He slowly took off his headset, rubbed his throbbing temples, and felt that the experience and common sense he had accumulated over a lifetime of handling cases had been completely crushed this afternoon.

He stared at the screen, lost in thought.

'A children's toy car has made a fool of the entire city's police force.' A thought surfaced in his mind, and he immediately felt his scalp tingle.

This case had completely exceeded their capacity to handle it.

However, while this farce of a chase within the police force was strictly kept confidential at an official level, the massive commotion it caused on the city's main roads and expressways could not be hidden from the public.

From the moment the pursuit began, countless citizens' mobile phones recorded this once-in-a-century spectacle.

"Look quickly! What's going on? What are a dozen police cars chasing?"

"I don't know, there's nothing in front, are the police cars chasing air?"

"I think I saw a blurry black shadow flash by, it was too fast, I didn't see it clearly!"

At first, these short, blurry videos shot by passersby were only circulating in small local WeChat groups.

But as more witnesses appeared and video material became richer, things started to get weird.

A relatively clear video captured by a car's dashcam became the first spark to ignite the entire internet.

In the video, several police cars were blaring their sirens, weaving crazily through traffic, while in front of them, on an empty stretch of road, a nondescript puddle of water suddenly exploded to both sides without warning, showing traces of being run over by wheels, yet there was nothing in the middle!

Once this video was released, it was immediately tagged #PoliceCarChasingGhostCar# and began to spread virally on platforms like Douyin and Social Media Platform.

Soon, more evidence was dug up by Netizens from every corner.

"Holy crap! I have some here too! On the overpass, the police cars were chasing, but I only filmed a sudden cloud of dust kicking up from the ground!"

"I filmed this in the city center! The police cars went by, but on the glass curtain wall of the building next to it, there was a fleeting reflection that looked like a car!"

"My friend is at the highway service area, he said he saw the police cars chasing a black shadow, but the shadow disappeared as soon as it got near the surveillance pole, and popped back out after passing it!"

When these videos from different locations and angles, yet all pointing to the same bizarre phenomenon, were pieced together, a bizarre but seemingly only logical inference emerged before all Netizens.

—The Baishui City police are chasing a mysterious vehicle that can turn invisible and is absurdly fast!

Once this conclusion came out, the entire Eastern Country internet completely exploded!

"My god! Is this not Photoshopped? Are these not movie special effects?"

"To the person above, so many videos, from different people, how could they be Photoshopped? This is definitely real!"

"It's 2025, and I'm actually seeing scenes from a sci-fi movie in real life? An invisible ghost car? And being chased by the entire city's police?"

"This is too crazy! What exactly is this thing? An alien spaceship?"

Within just one hour, multiple topics like #BaishuiCityGhostCarIncident#, #PoliceChasingInvisibleWarMachine#, and #ThatInvisibleCar# occupied the hot search lists of all social platforms with unstoppable momentum.

This city-wide manhunt, sparked by a so-called online romance of a brat, evolved into a nationwide online carnival without the parties involved knowing.

...

Meanwhile, Baishui City, Li Family Toy Factory.

The culprit behind all this, Li Jiajun, was leisurely lying on his expensive ergonomic boss chair, with his feet comfortably resting on the desk, happily scrolling through his phone.

The world outside turning upside down had absolutely nothing to do with him.

He had just finished reading his factory's financial report, and looking at the income entries and that technology transfer fee of 100 million from the state, the smile on his face never stopped.

'The life of a rich person is just so simple, unadorned, and boring.'

Li Jiajun took a sip of goji berry tea from his thermos, feeling deeply moved.

At this moment, he thought of the toy car he had created.

Immediately, he picked up his phone, clicked on the buyer information of Long Aoao, and looking at the other person's avatar that feigned maturity, a gratified smile like an old father appeared on his face.

'This kid should be in the residential compound right now, driving my dragon knight no. 1, enjoying the envious gazes of all his little friends, right?' Li Jiajun thought to himself.

He could even imagine the scene: A steady The little brother, driving a cool-looking black off-road vehicle, driving slowly on the tree-lined path of the residential area, attracting a group of snot-nosed brats following behind, shouting "Wow, so cool." (Police: First of all, I am not a snot-nosed brat, and secondly, the car is indeed very cool, but we want to cry right now)

Then, the child's parents, seeing their own child so popular, seeing this car so safe and reliable, would definitely be moved to tears. Perhaps they would even take the initiative to contact him and present him with a banner for an outstanding entrepreneur.

Once this thought appeared, Li Jiajun began to mutter uncontrollably: "Sigh, my damn business acumen. Through one child, I have precisely cut into the entire high-end children's toy market. Now, the reputation of dragon knight no. 1 will definitely be established in the wealthy circles of Baishui City. By then, won't orders be flying in like snowflakes?"

The more he thought, the happier he became, as if he had already seen his glorious future of becoming the Toy King of Eastern Country, punching Lego, kicking Bandai, and standing at Nasdaq to ring the bell.

He even picked up a pen and started calculating on paper.

"Selling a car for 20,000, the profit is probably around 15,000. There must be hundreds or thousands of wealthy families with status in Baishui City, right? That's tens of millions in profit. After occupying the Baishui City market, then promote it to the whole province, the whole country..."

Li Jiajun's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he was almost drooling.

"Hiss... By then, just by selling children's cars, I can earn several 'small targets' a year. Buying a yacht? Too tacky. A private jet? A bit high-profile. How about... first buy the most expensive building by the river in Baishui City, live on one floor, use one floor as a dormitory for workers, and rent out the rest to become a landlord!"

'I really am a business genius!'

Looking at his grand blueprint, Li Jiajun exclaimed with satisfaction.

He had no idea what kind of waves his toy car had stirred up on the internet at this moment.

He had even less idea that the dragon knight no. 1, which he thought was the king of the road in the residential area, had just made the entire traffic police system of Baishui City collectively doubt their lives on the highway.

And this was not the limit.
