When hearing Yuuki Shozo asking about the list of SAO players, Sugo Nobuyuki clearly showed a brief look of panic. But when he heard clearly that the reason Yuki Shozo asked about the list was simply because the Internet regulatory department wanted to count the number of surviving players, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "I'm really sorry, Mr. Zhang San, because the research at that time made no progress, so the information, including the list, has been deleted and abandoned. After all, so much time has passed. I think it may not be that easy to find the list now. However, ALO's operations are going fine, with an increasing number of players logging in every day, and the benefits it brings to our company are also increasing." While reporting, Nobuyuki Sugo did not forget to secretly glance at Shozo Yuuki's expression. And when he found that the latter was indeed more concerned about ALO affairs as before and did not ask too much about the SAO list, Sugo Nobuyuki finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the matter of the list was probably just something Yuuki Shozo mentioned casually. "I understand. Thank you for your hard work. ALO is currently the game with the highest revenue in our company. As the person in charge of this game, I hope you can be more dedicated." "Please rest assured, Mr. Zhang San, I want ALO to do better than anyone else, and I will naturally do my best." "Well, thank you for your hard work. You will have to give me a detailed report later. Now you can go back first."
When he saw Nobuyuki Sugo walking out of the office, Yuki Shozo's face, which had originally been full of a relieved smile, instantly became gloomy. He had just made a simple test and had already noticed many unnatural things about Nobuyuki Sugo. When talking about the SAO list, although Nobuyuki Sugo concealed it well, the fleeting panic on his face was still caught by Shozo Yuuki. After all, he has been in the workplace for many years. He had overlooked many details in the past just because he favored Nobuyuki Sugo. But because of Seiya's reminder, he looked at Nobuyuki Sugo with a scrutinizing eye, and he indeed found that the other party was very good at disguise. Although such a test cannot be regarded as evidence at all, as long as it is clear that Nobuyuki Sugo is indeed hiding something and is two-faced, this is enough for Yuki Shozo. Similarly, Nobuyuki Sugo, who had just walked out of Yuki Shozo's office, also began to have an uncertain expression on his face. Being a cautious person, he also realized that he seemed a little flustered just now. Although he quickly concealed it, he could not guarantee that Yuki Shozo had not noticed it. Secondly, why did Yuuki Shozo suddenly talk about the SAO player list today? Is it really because there are Internet regulatory authorities to verify the situation of the surviving players? Today, the trapped players in SAO were rescued, and someone really came to inquire about the situation. This is reasonable, but Nobuyuki Sugo just felt that something was wrong. "No, I can't stay at RECT anymore. No matter if it's my own fault or that old fox Yuuki Shozo suspects me, I must destroy all the brain supplementation experiment data and find another way out. Anyway, with my talent, I don't have to worry about those big companies not wanting me. After I take control of Yui Asuna, it won't be too late to come back and look for this old man again." Nobuyuki Sugo didn't know whether he was overly suspicious or whether Yuki Shozo had already suspected him, but he was cautious and felt that he should still run away. And he was also confident that even if Yuki Shozo doubted him, it would only remain at the stage of suspicion. Considering the trust that Yuki Shozo had in him in the past, he still has enough time. As long as he destroys most of the evidence, the other party will not be able to do anything to him even if they find out in the future. Even if the other party's daughter falls into his hands, this guy Yuki Shozo will have to cover for him. However, Nobuyuki Sugo never dreamed that he had enough time, but as soon as he came downstairs, two detectives came towards him and showed him their ID cards and said, "Mr. Nobuyuki Sugo, right? We are detectives from the local police station. We have received a report that you are suspected of embezzling company funds. Please come back with us and cooperate with the investigation."
When he heard what the detective said, Nobuyuki Sugo was completely dumbfounded. Although he imprisoned the consciousness of SAO players and conducted brain experiments, the embezzlement of company funds was completely false! "You must have misunderstood. How could I do such a thing as embezzling public funds? Our president Yuuki Shozo can prove it for me. He..." Nobuyuki Sugo stopped talking halfway through his words, because he realized belatedly that the embezzlement of public funds was entirely the work of Shozo Yuuki! He had underestimated the opponent's ruthlessness before. He decisively chose to attack just because he doubted himself, without giving himself any chance to react. "Wait, I was framed! I am also a person of social status, you can't just arrest me based on one side of the story!" Didn't Sugo Nobuyuki know whether he had embezzled public funds? He was not afraid of being investigated at all. What he was worried about was that during the time he was taken back to the police station, other evidence of his crimes would be found! So at this moment, Nobuyuki Sugo was naturally extremely excited, even a little hysterical. "Mr. Xu Xiang, please calm down. We are just following the procedure and asking you to go back with us for an investigation. We are not arresting you. Please cooperate with us." Faced with a detective who was doing his job impartially, Nobuyuki Sugo was naturally unwilling to surrender. Just kidding, if he really embezzled public funds, he would at most be sentenced to a few years in prison. But once the fact that he imprisoned 300 players' consciousnesses for brain supplement experiments was exposed, it would be unknown whether he could continue to live. And it is obvious that this is the real world, not ALO, and Nobuyuki Sugo is not the Elf King Oberon with great authority and strength, but just a rookie researcher. Seeing that Nobuyuki Sugo was resisting fiercely, the two detectives thought that he was hiding something and without hesitation, they subdued him. When Nobuyuki Sugo was captured and investigated, the various research and work he was involved in were naturally also investigated according to the procedures. Of course, Nobuyuki Sugo did not embezzle company funds, which was indeed a false accusation against him. However, during the investigation of this case, a bigger scandal was exposed. That is, the fact that Nobuyuki Sugo imprisoned the player's consciousness to conduct brain-supplementing experiments was finally discovered. Nobuyuki Sugo's research plans and materials are all laid out there, and it is irrefutable evidence. Even if he had eight mouths, he would not be able to explain it all. Eventually, with the help of professionals, all 300 imprisoned players, including Asuna, were rescued. The impact of this incident also made the headlines of the next day's news.
