Hearing this, Chen Hanxing was left utterly stunned.
Illegal production? Endangering public order and security?
All he'd done up to now was build one elderly - friendly vehicle! He'd just awakened the system and hadn't even had a chance to really get started, and now he was about to be slapped with handcuffs? What a mess!
At the same time, a video went viral on the internet.
In the video, it began with a car cruising along. All of a sudden! An elderly - friendly vehicle overtook it at an inconceivable speed.
Half a minute later, three police cars passed by. By then, the elderly - friendly vehicle had vanished completely; not even its rear taillights were visible.
As soon as this video was posted, it immediately exploded in popularity online.
"Damn! Is this real or fake? It's gotta be special effects, right?"
"Can an old - folks' scooter really go that fast? Even movies wouldn't dare to film something like this!"
"Just by looking, the speed is probably around 400 mph!"
"400 mph? How could that be possible? Even the King of Hell would be impressed!"
"This video is definitely doctored!"
"Come on! What age is this? Still pulling this kind of trick to deceive people!"
More and more people started commenting. Most of the comments were expressions of doubt. After all, an elderly - friendly vehicle capable of reaching 400 mph? No one would believe it. Wouldn't it practically take off?!!
Gradually, some netizens sensed something amiss.
"This vehicle looks kind of familiar. I feel like I've seen it somewhere!"
"Isn't this the vehicle made by a streamer on Douyin?"
"I watched that streamer build this elderly - friendly vehicle with my own eyes. If I believe this thing can reach 400 mph, I must be crazy!"
"Wasn't it just a complete heap of junk?"
Some netizens who had watched Chen Hanxing's live - stream of building the vehicle recognized it. Some even shared clips from Chen Hanxing's live - stream showcase. Seeing its battle - worn appearance, even fewer people were willing to believe the video was real.
At the police station, Chen Hanxing was promptly led to the interrogation room.
"Name?"
"Chen Hanxing."
"Age?"
"18."
"Occupation?"
"Student."
Chen Hanxing answered each question honestly. The female police officer in charge of the interrogation in front of him didn't seem much older than he was.
She had a standard oval face, as delicate as that of a beauty. Her skin was fair and smooth, resembling white jade, without a single blemish. With the police uniform adding to her charm, she exuded an air of valiant and heroic bearing. However, her affectionate almond - shaped eyes added a touch of unique allure to her otherwise heroic demeanor.
Student? Although Zhang Xia had already investigated Chen Hanxing's information in advance, she was still a bit surprised when she heard the word "student" at this moment. Could a student really do such a thing? Nevertheless, Zhang Xia still recorded the information.
"Officer Zhang, may I ask what exactly I've done wrong?"
"Do you know Li Jianguo?" Instead of answering, Zhang Xia asked.
Chen Hanxing shook his head.
Zhang Xia continued, "According to our investigation, Li Jianguo ordered an elderly - friendly vehicle from you not long ago and took delivery today. Is that true?"
Chen Hanxing suddenly understood, "You mean Richard!"
Richard and Li Jianguo. These two names had no connection at all. If Zhang Xia hadn't mentioned it, Chen Hanxing would never have associated them.
"Is there such a thing?" Ignoring Chen Hanxing's reaction, Zhang Xia pressed on.
Chen Hanxing nodded, "Yes."
"Two hours ago, Li Jianguo was speeding on the 106 National Highway in the elderly - friendly vehicle you made. We estimated that the maximum speed could reach 400 mph. We had three police cars break down trying to stop him. He had a heart attack due to over - excitement and is now lying in the hospital!"
After hearing Zhang Xia's words, Chen Hanxing was completely confused. An elderly - friendly vehicle? On the 106 National Highway? 400 mph? Wouldn't the wheels be sparking like crazy! And he only had a heart attack from the excitement. The fact that Li Jianguo didn't drive straight to the underworld was already a testament to his amazing driving skills!
After saying that, Zhang Xia took out several photos and handed them to Chen Hanxing. In the photos, an elderly - friendly vehicle was speeding along, and the wheels were spinning so fast that they left blurry after - images. Chen Hanxing recognized this elderly - friendly vehicle. It was indeed the one he made.
"Richard... Uncle Li Jianguo told me he was only 26. I had no idea he would do such things!" Chen Hanxing quickly explained.
By now, he more or less understood why he had been brought here. But Zhang Xia paid no heed to this and simply stated, "According to our investigation, your factory doesn't have the qualifications to produce elderly - friendly vehicles. So the one you made is a three - no product. You can't shirk responsibility for this incident."
Chen Hanxing felt extremely wronged. "Officer Zhang, I already told him clearly. What I made was just a 1:1 toy model of an elderly - friendly vehicle. It's only for display and not for any other use! It's all clearly stated in the instruction manual!"
Zhang Xia glanced at him and then said, "How to divide the responsibility for this matter still needs to be determined by the court. Right now, Li Jianguo's family members are outside. You should negotiate with them."
After saying this, without waiting for Chen Hanxing's agreement, Zhang Xia directly walked out of the interrogation room, leaving Chen Hanxing alone.
Chen Hanxing was really speechless! That Uncle Li was something else! At such an old age, he was still imitating young people and street - racing! At the same time, Chen Hanxing was also a bit astonished! He didn't expect that the super - enhanced elderly - friendly vehicle blueprint given by the system would be so powerful! You know, currently, the speed of regular family cars is basically around 200 mph. For electric new - energy vehicles, take Tesla as an example, the maximum speed is only around 300 mph! And this is just the theoretical speed! An elderly - friendly vehicle actually reaching 400 mph, it's like driving a supercar!
Just then, the door of the interrogation room was pushed open, interrupting Chen Hanxing's train of thought. A voice full of hostility reached his ears. "So you're the brat who did this?"
