The task force members asked a few seemingly irrelevant questions.
For example.
Was the artist Kun Kun's injury serious?
Could he manage his own daily life independently?
Was his current physical condition suitable for living alone in a dark environment?
In just over ten minutes.
The task force staff, satisfied, closed their notebooks.
"It seems there's not much difference from what your attending physician stated!"
"It appears your body is not in any serious trouble."
"How about this, to ensure the procedure is legal and reasonable, we'll go and get your medical records first, just in case of any unexpected situations!"
Huh?
Is that all?
Why wasn't there any mention of Meng Hao?
Also.
Why were they so concerned about his physical condition, recovery, and the extent of his injuries?
What was the significant connection to Meng Hao's case?
"Mm."
"You rest for a while."
"We'll see you later."
The leader of the task force actually showed a slight smile, completely different from how he was when he first entered the room.
Meanwhile, as the attending physician left the artist Kun Kun's private hospital room, a trace of sympathy flickered in his eyes!
Huh?
Sympathy?
He, artist Kun Kun, was a popular celebrity with tens of millions of fans.
And he actually needed sympathy from an ordinary hospital doctor?
It truly felt like an injustice.
Out of curiosity.
The manager made a phone call to the company.
Then he was dumbfounded.
"Kun Kun, the company just said they haven't hired a lawyer to sue Meng Hao yet!"
"And, after spending a large amount on public relations and online trolls, there hasn't been any significant uproar online."
"Something seems off!"
What?
This task force wasn't established at the company's behest.
Then why were they looking for him?
"Perhaps we should be discharged for now."
"And then, we'll wait and see how things develop!"
Following the manager's suggestion.
Kun Kun quickly changed his clothes, ready to leave.
The moment he opened the door.
Several police officers with cold expressions blocked their way.
"Please do not move around freely."
"There will be an interrogation shortly!"
Ah?
Interrogation?
What interrogation?
Wasn't it just a simple inquiry?
Interrogation, wasn't that used for suspects with potential criminal involvement?
Helplessly retreating back to the hospital room, Kun Kun and his manager began to panic.
They quickly tried to call the company again.
But when they took out their phones, they discovered.
The phones, which had full signal moments ago, now had no signal at all.
It seemed.
Someone had activated a signal jamming device to prevent them from contacting the outside world.
"Kun Kun."
"I remember that signal jamming is only used during house arrest."
"But that's the treatment for suspects."
"Have we stumbled upon a really tough opponent?"
...
In response to the netizens' continuous requests on the police headquarters' official website for the evidence video, the authorities quickly responded.
A new public announcement titled "Explanation Regarding the Public Opinion Event That Occurred Today in Modu" was immediately released, with click and share counts instantly exceeding one hundred thousand.
The post stated.
As the case is still under investigation, according to the laws of Great Xia, official certified video evidence cannot be released at this time.
However, because artist Kun Kun's side refused to reach a settlement and stated that they had hired a senior lawyer to sue Meng Hao, the case has escalated from an ordinary civil dispute to a criminal case.
Artist Kun Kun's demands are for Meng Hao to publicly apologize, compensate for damages, restore his image, and for the police authorities to sentence Meng Hao to at least three years of imprisonment.
As the case is no longer a simple civil dispute but a criminal one, the Modu Police Headquarters is taking it very seriously and has established a special task force for the investigation.
Currently, the task force has gone to the hospital to understand artist Kun Kun's condition.
If his condition does not prevent detention and interrogation, artist Kun Kun will be treated the same way as Meng Hao... confined to a cell for specialized interrogation.
As the situation develops and the investigation progresses, updates will continue to be posted within this thread.
As this official post continued to gain traction.
Videos, photos, and discussions related to the case also surged to the trending lists, sweeping across major online opinion platforms.
And the official live stream of Huarong Technology, specifically the Mech Ji channel, became the main battlefield for this public opinion frenzy.
Countless viewers flooded the chat with bullet comments.
"Brother Hao, I've watched the videos from different angles... you were completely blameless, it was all caused by that Chicken Brother!"
"He hit the elderly lady in the wheelchair, injuring her, trampled several fans, and then eight burly security guards tried to gang up on Brother Hao, only to be taken down!"
"Brother Hao, when did you become so skilled in martial arts? I always thought you were a weak and frail tech nerd... Honestly, Brother Hao, watching you fight is so damn satisfying!"
"This artist Kun Kun is too much, it was clearly an ordinary civil dispute, but he insisted on escalating it to a criminal case... and even hired a senior lawyer to get Brother Hao locked up for life... how can someone like this be a popular artist?"
"This is completely negative for the perception of countless young people in Great Xia."
"..."
Facing the indignant bullet comments in the live stream.
Meng Hao was quite touched.
However.
He didn't want to comment further on this matter.
After all.
Professional matters should be handled by professionals.
Meng Hao was not a legal expert, so he wouldn't speculate.
Moreover, he had absolute faith.
That the country would provide him with a fair and just outcome.
Meng Hao, from behind the bars, offered a faint smile.
He casually waved his hand.
"Everyone, let's not dwell on this matter for now."
"Earlier, when I was in Hawei Islands City, I promised to reveal the lucky draw this afternoon at 4 PM."
"Well, although there was a minor interruption that caused a delay, and it's almost 5 PM, I will first fulfill my promise to everyone!"
Meng Hao paused.
He signaled Mech Ji Qin Muyan to fix the cursor on option C.
"Mm."
"On my trip to Hawei Islands City, I acquired six broken lithography machines."
"However, with Huarong Technology's current capabilities, they can be repaired."
What?
Bought six broken lithography machines.
And Brother Hao said he could repair them.
Is this a joke?
Lithography machines, for heaven's sake.
They're not ordinary electronic products.
Repairing a broken lithography machine is practically no different from redesigning and manufacturing a brand new one.
After a moment of stunned silence.
The haters and keyboard warriors lurking in the live stream began to go wild with criticism.
"Holy crap, more bragging!"
"He's already in the police holding cell, can Meng Hao stop spouting nonsense?"
"If bragging were a crime, Meng Hao wouldn't be wrongly arrested this time."
"It seems artist Kun Kun has actually done the public a service."
