Fang Shanshan told Xiao Qiang that she was already considered a user of Kabo Corporation. The robot nanny at her parents' home was ordered by her personally, so as long as one is a user of Kabo Corporation, they receive an authorization card, which serves as an access card.
The other card belonged to her boyfriend.
Her boyfriend was also of Mixed Blood, and he appreciated the cultural atmosphere of Country A. He loved the greenery and harmony found in this place, the balance between humanity and nature, and the harmony between people and society.
This had been her boyfriend's perspective on Country A in the past, but his mindset had completely changed. He had fled from a heavily polluted country to Country A, where pollution spread like a contagious disease, indirectly infecting nations around the world.
Now, this city was filled with garbage. There was a severe shortage of labor, which provided Kabo Corporation with a great opportunity to create wealth and serve the public. Fang Shanshan's boyfriend worked as an amateur mechanic in the Slum industry while presenting himself as a photographer.
Fang Shanshan did not have the authority to investigate the car accident involving Kabo Corporation's vice president, but she could use her own connections to discreetly inquire about Professor R's job changes within Kabo Corporation.
It was quite common for customers to come in person to order robots. The holographic projection politely introduced the new N2.3 model and its usage timeline.
Fang Shanshan approached the customer service authorization card verification machine and pressed a few Arabic numerals, effectively reserving a new N2.3 robot.
The holographic Supervisor could be seen or not at the customer's discretion. However, under special circumstances, one had to apply for authorized access at designated locations to meet the reception department Supervisor.
The Supervisor appeared to be a refined young man with a scholarly demeanor who warmly welcomed Fang Shanshan and Xiao Qiang.
Facing these two special guests, he felt a genuine sense of awe. Standing next to Xiao Qiang made him feel somewhat overshadowed. With his hands crossed in front of him out of habit, he instinctively took a step back to maintain distance from this imposing customer wearing sunglasses.
As for the female customer, she exuded an elegant charm that radiated nobility with every gesture; it was clear they were not ordinary visitors. He couldn't help but feel nervous and reminded himself to be cautious in his reception.
Kabo Corporation had strict internal management; each layer managed another. If something went wrong, Kabo Corporation would not hesitate to fire employees.
Kabo Corporation was a high-threshold top-tier international company that attracted countless individuals hoping to join its ranks worldwide. However, making even one mistake could ruin one's future, leading to infamy and becoming a laughingstock.
Fang Shanshan casually scanned the corners of the room.
The Supervisor seemed to understand her thoughts and smiled apologetically, saying, "Don't worry; there are no surveillance setups here."
“Oh.” Fang Shanshan smiled gently and secretly winked at Xiao Qiang. The latter understood, placing his hands behind his back as he walked to the Supervisor's side, while she tried to attract the Supervisor's attention.
“N2. Does Number 3 also come with insurance?” she asked, gracefully taking a seat. With a smile on her lips, she waited for a response.
The Supervisor thought Fang Shanshan was asking a question she already knew the answer to, but out of professional ethics, he still explained in detail: “Kabo Corporation has long-term ties with insurance companies. We produce 10,000 reserve robots each month, and during their reserve period, they are automatically registered, which incurs insurance costs.”
“Oh.”
Xiao Qiang took his position.
Fang Shanshan got straight to the point, pulling out her credentials from her sleeve and placing them in front of the Supervisor. Her expression darkened as she said, “I am the case's execution lawyer for the suspect from Kabo Corporation…”
Seeing this, the young Supervisor immediately became wary. “What do you want? I don’t know anything; it’s best not to ask.” As he spoke, he reached for the alarm button. Xiao Qiang, who had been silently observing, quickly grabbed his wrist and squeezed hard.
“Ah!” The Supervisor screamed in pain.
Xiao Qiang knew that the soundproofing here was good; no matter how loud he yelled, it would be futile.
Fang Shanshan’s smile deepened with meaning. “We only have a small request; we won’t ask too much or cause you any trouble.”
“What do you want to know?”
“Where is R right now?”
“I… I really don’t know. Besides, as a mere sales Supervisor, what right do I have to know about upper management’s work relationships?”
Fang Shanshan scoffed coldly. “So you don’t care if I complain…”
The Supervisor feigned calmness. “Do whatever you want.” However, his voice lacked conviction as he secretly glanced at Xiao Qiang’s expressionless face.
Xiao Qiang removed his glasses, his tone icy as he fixed his cold gaze on the Supervisor and said slowly, “Do you know Choke?”
"Choke of Kabo Corporation, is there anyone who doesn't know him? A ruthless figure, a smiling tiger who kills without blinking. When Choke is mentioned, Supervisor shivers and asks, 'What... do you want to do?'
'If you don't know Choke, I can introduce you to him.'
'R left Kabo Corporation over a month ago.'
'Why? Where did he go?'
'I don't know where he went, but he left due to internal restructuring at Kabo Corporation. He couldn't get along with certain people, and the main reason was the innovation of the second generation N2.3 model.'
'Does this have anything to do with the incident involving the vice president?'
Fear flashed across Supervisor's face as he shook his head vigorously like a rattle: 'I really can't say anything about that. Please spare me.'
As they exited Kabo Corporation, Fang Shanshan suddenly remarked, 'You’re impressive; you actually know the giant Choke from Kabo Corporation.'
Xiao Qiang was surprised. 'Choke has such a big influence at Kabo Corporation now?'
'That's nothing. Kabo Corporation is full of hidden talents; there are many things you don’t know.' After getting into the car, Fang Shanshan added, 'The next stop is up to you.'
'Are you going to take me to the police station tonight?' Xiao Qiang was concerned about this. Looking at the darkening sky, he felt a sense of loneliness thinking about where he would end up later.
'Don't worry; I won't let you sleep on the street.' Fang Shanshan smiled teasingly. 'Let's go check out the vice president's house.'
'Can your database documents search for information about the vice president?'
'N. If it were a few hours earlier, it might have been possible. Once the time of death exceeds two hours, the Human Resources Department automatically closes external access to personal data inquiries and transfers the deceased's information to law enforcement agencies.'
'Then should we go to the police station to look for it?'
'Do you really want to go back to the police station?' Fang Shanshan set the car to autopilot and smoothly took hold of the steering wheel."
The screen prompted in a simulated voice channel, "Tunnel ahead, please maintain distance."
A tunnel! Xiao Qiang gazed out the window at the tunnel, feeling a sense of familiarity. Beep beep~ whoosh~ a large, fish-head sealed truck brushed past on the left side, mere inches away.
Fang Shanshan was startled and quickly canceled the automatic settings.
Xiao Qiang turned to look at the massive truck that had swiftly moved ahead, his heart racing with anxiety; he felt something was about to go wrong. Sure enough, another giant truck rolled in from the right, its enormous wheels thundering toward them.
"Quick, those two trucks are trouble."
"What do you mean?"
"They're from Kabo Corporation; they're coming for us."
Fang Shanshan sharply turned the steering wheel to evade the two trucks as they attempted to trap them. "Is Supervisor betraying us?" The tires screeched against the pavement, sending sparks flying with a sharp grinding noise.
"He doesn't have the guts for that."
