Chapter 88

When hearing Cheng Zhangsan ask about the SAO player list, Nobuyuki Sugou obviously had a brief look of panic.

But when he heard clearly that the reason Cheng Zhangsan asked for the list was just because the network supervision department wanted to count the number of surviving players, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Zhangsan, because the research at that time made no progress, so those materials, including the list, have been deleted and abandoned.

After all, so much time has passed, I think it's probably not that simple to find the list at that time now.

ALO's operation status is all normal. Now the number of players logging in every day is increasing day by day, and the benefits brought to our company are also getting bigger and bigger."

When Nobuyuki Sugou reported, he didn't forget to secretly look at Cheng Zhangsan's expression.

And after finding that the latter was indeed more concerned about ALO's affairs as before and did not ask too much about the SAO list, Nobuyuki Sugou breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the list matter was just something Cheng Zhangsan mentioned casually.

"I see, thank you for your hard work. ALO is currently the game with the best revenue in our company. As the main person in charge of this game, I hope you can be more dedicated."

"Please rest assured, Mr. Zhangsan, I want ALO to do better than anyone else, and I will naturally do my best."

"Well, thank you for your hard work. Give me a detailed report later. You can go back first now."

When he saw Nobuyuki Sugou walk out of the office, Cheng Zhangsan's face, which was originally full of gratified smiles, suddenly became gloomy.

He just tested it simply, and he had already seen many unnatural places in Nobuyuki Sugou.

When talking about the SAO list, although Nobuyuki Sugou covered it up well, the panic that flashed by was still captured by Cheng Zhangsan.

He has been in the workplace for many years after all. He only ignored many details before because he favored Nobuyuki Sugou.

But because of Shengzai's reminder, looking at Nobuyuki Sugou just now with a scrutinizing look, he really found that the other party was very good at disguising.

Although such a test cannot count as evidence at all, as long as it is clear that Nobuyuki Sugou really has a ghost in his heart and is inconsistent, this is enough for Cheng Zhangsan.

Similarly, Nobuyuki Sugou, who had just walked out of Cheng Zhangsan's office, also began to become uncertain on his face.

Being cautious, he also realized that his performance just now was a bit panicked. Although he covered it up soon, he couldn't guarantee that Cheng Zhangsan didn't notice it.

Secondly, why did Cheng Zhangsan suddenly mention the SAO player list today?

Is it really because the network supervision department came to verify the situation of the surviving players?

Today, the trapped SAO players got out of trouble, and it is reasonable for someone to come to the door to understand the situation, but Nobuyuki Sugou just feels that the situation is a bit wrong.

"No, I can't stay in RECT company anymore. Whether it's overthinking or Cheng Zhangsan, that old fox, suspects me, I must destroy all brain experiment data now, and then look for another way out.

Anyway, with my talent, I don't have to worry about those big companies not wanting me. It's not too late to come back and find this old immortal after controlling Cheng Mingri."

Nobuyuki Sugou didn't know if he was overthinking or if Cheng Zhangsan already suspected him, but he felt that he should run away.

And he also has confidence that even if Cheng Zhangsan suspects him, it only stays at the stage of suspicion.

Because of Cheng Zhangsan's trust in him in the past, there is still plenty of time left for him now. As long as he destroys most of the evidence, even if the other party finds out later, he can't do anything to him.

Even as long as the other party's daughter falls into his hands, Cheng Zhangsan, this guy, still has to help him cover up.

However, Nobuyuki Sugou never dreamed that he thought there was still enough time, but here, just after he went downstairs, two criminal police officers walked towards him and showed him their documents: "Mr. Nobuyuki Sugou, right? We are criminal police from the local police station.

Now we have received a report that you are suspected of embezzling public funds from the company. Please come back with us to cooperate with the investigation."

When hearing what the criminal police said, Nobuyuki Sugou was stupid. He imprisoned SAO players' consciousness and did brain experiments, but embezzling company public funds was purely non-existent!

"You must have misunderstood, how could I do something like embezzling public funds, our president Cheng Zhangsan can prove it for me, he..."

Nobuyuki Sugou's words stopped abruptly after only half of them, because he, who was late to realize, had already realized that embezzling public funds was completely Cheng Zhangsan playing him!

He underestimated the other party's ruthlessness before. He just suspected himself, and he decisively chose to take action, not giving himself any time to react.

"Wait, I was framed! I am also a person with social status, you cannot listen to one-sided words and catch me back!"

Whether he embezzled public funds or not, doesn't he, Nobuyuki Sugou, know? He is not afraid of being investigated. What he is worried about is that during the time he was taken back to the police station, his other criminal evidence would be turned out!

So at this moment, Nobuyuki Sugou is naturally abnormally excited, and even a bit hysterical.

"Mr. Sugou, please calm down. We are just following the procedure to invite you back to investigate. We have not arrested you. Please cooperate with us."

Facing the criminal police who were doing business, Nobuyuki Sugou was naturally unwilling to surrender like this.

Just kidding, if he really embezzled public funds, he would at most go in and squat for a few years, but once his matter of imprisoning 300 players' consciousness for brain experiments was exposed, whether he could continue to live was an unknown number.

And it is obvious that this is the real world, not ALO. Nobuyuki Sugou is not the Fairy King Oberon with strong permissions and strength, but just a rookie researcher.

Seeing Nobuyuki Sugou's fierce resistance, the two criminal police felt that he had a ghost in his heart, and they didn't hesitate to take action to subdue him directly.

And when Nobuyuki Sugou was caught for investigation, his various research and work were naturally investigated according to the procedure.

It goes without saying that Nobuyuki Sugou did not embezzle company public funds. This point was indeed wronged, but in the investigation of this case, a bigger secret was directly exposed.

That is, Nobuyuki Sugou's matter of imprisoning players' consciousness for brain experiments was finally found out.

Nobuyuki Sugou's research plans and materials were all placed there, which can be said to be ironclad evidence. Even if he had eight mouths, he couldn't explain it clearly.

Finally, under the operation of professional personnel, 300 players, including Asuna, were finally rescued, and the impact caused by this incident also directly hit the news headlines the next day.
