Wu Yun was speaking sincerely, but the older police officer still said politely, "Mr. Wu! Sorry to disturb you. My colleague and I will go check the balcony first. Please, take your time with your meal."
The three of them weren't surprised that Wu Yun was eating such a late breakfast. After all, it was normal for everyone to have slept late after what happened last night.
Both police officers had been busy since last night and hadn't rested yet.
"Please, feel free to look around, officers!"
After receiving Wu Yun's permission, the older officer took the lead and headed for the balcony.
As he passed the sofa, he intentionally glanced at Song Qin and Zeng Shengnan.
Li Hao followed, accompanying the two police officers.
"Brother Qiang! Life as a rich person is really awesome! Such a huge apartment! And he even has someone to bring him his food!" the young officer exclaimed.
Liu Qiang shot the young officer a look. "Cut the crap! We'll talk about it when we get back!"
After speaking, Liu Qiang leaned against the railing and looked at the unobstructed view of the Bund opposite them. He sighed inwardly, reminded of a joke he'd seen online: "I'm so jealous you guys get to come here as tourists! Me? I just live here."
"Brother Qiang! I can see the other side so clearly with this telescope! I can even see the bun in Li Tao's hand!" The young officer had spotted Wu Yun's telescope and, intrigued, started using it right away. He immediately saw his colleagues on duty at the scene across the river.
"So extravagant, using such a nice astronomical telescope just to look at the scenery!" the young officer remarked in awe.
Liu Qiang surveyed the surroundings and immediately knew this was the spot where Wu Yun had filmed the video last night.
Just as the three were absorbed in the view, Wu Yun's voice came from behind them. "Gentlemen, please follow me."
Wu Yun walked out onto the balcony and headed to the right.
After just a few meters, he came to a French door, slid it open, and led the three of them into the study.
Liu Qiang saw the telephoto lens on the desk. Knowing a little about photography, he immediately realized the equipment was quite valuable.
"Are you also a fan of photography, Mr. Wu?" Liu Qiang asked, gradually getting to the point.
Wu Yun smiled and said, "I know a little. I just enjoy photography as a hobby. I've only used this set a few times. It's really a waste."
Liu Qiang nodded, not dwelling on the topic. Instead, he asked, "Mr. Wu, from what we understand, you predicted that something was going to happen. I'd like to know what basis you had for that."
The young officer took notes in his notebook, not missing a single word.
Of course, Wu Yun couldn't admit that he was a reincarnator, so he smiled and said, "I explained the reason in the video. It was a dream, and I tend to believe in these sorts of things. It was just a lucky guess."
Just then, Aunt Wang knocked and entered. She handed each of them a disposable cup of hot tea before leaving.
"Mr. Wu, then why did you decide to post about it to warn netizens? You know, if what you said didn't happen, you would have been ridiculed by everyone online, right?"
Wu Yun said in a firm tone, "Even if it hadn't happened, I still would have said something. It's the only way I could have lived with myself. As you know, I'm a rather caring person."
After that, Liu Qiang asked Wu Yun a few more questions. It was just a routine inquiry; he wasn't interrogating Wu Yun like a criminal.
When he was more or less done with his questions, Liu Qiang nodded at the young officer and then said, "Mr. Wu, if it's convenient, could you please copy all the videos you shot last night for me?"
Wu Yun took the USB drive from the young officer. While the videos were copying, Wu Yun asked, "Officer, may I ask how many people died last night?"
Liu Qiang sighed. "There's no harm in telling you. This data will be released to the public later anyway. Last night..."
Hearing the numbers Liu Qiang gave, Wu Yun's expression darkened.
Wu Yun murmured, "I can't believe something like this still happened, even after my warning."
The two officers had investigated Wu Yun's background before coming, so Liu Qiang consoled him, "Mr. Wu, you did your best. For something like this to happen, we officials also bear a certain amount of responsibility."
But then Liu Qiang added through gritted teeth, "Dammit! Just let me get my hands on the people who were scattering that fake money!"
The relevant departments had moved swiftly, quickly ascertaining the cause.
According to camera footage, someone at Bund No.18 was throwing what looked like US Dollar bills. Less than a minute later, another camera captured tourists falling on the stairs of the viewing platform.
However, because there was no panoramic video, the relevant departments couldn't yet definitively conclude that the money-throwing was the cause of the incident.
At one in the morning, just when Liu Qiang and his team were stressing out, a colleague discovered Wu Yun's follow-up video, which directly helped the police lock onto the suspects.
That, on top of the video Wu Yun had posted two days prior warning the police, is what led to the officers' visit today.
The videos weren't too large, and the copy was finished a few minutes later.
Having achieved his goal, Liu Qiang stood up, extended his hand to shake Wu Yun's, and said, "Mr. Wu, thank you for your help and support for our police force. This time, we failed to live up to your kind intentions."
Wu Yun replied politely, "You can't be blamed. After all, no one expected someone to cause trouble."
With the support of Wu Yun's video, the responsibility borne by the relevant authorities was greatly reduced, which gave many officials a very favorable impression of Wu Yun. Of course, that's a story for another time.
Wu Yun stared at the closed apartment door, somewhat dazed. He sighed softly, lamenting the fragility of life.
After some thought, Wu Yun decided to call Tang Hongjiang of Nirvana Investment. "President Tang, I've been thinking. I've decided to establish a charitable foundation in the company's name, specifically for donating to the vulnerable groups affected by these kinds of incidents."
"The company will put up fifty million as initial capital. From now on, half of the returns from this fifty million will be used for charity, and the other half will be used to grow the fund."
Tang Hongjiang immediately replied, "Alright, President Wu! I'll get started on it right away!"
In a certain high-end residential complex, Tang Hongjiang sat up from the sofa and, under his wife's displeased gaze, went into the bedroom, quickly changed his clothes, and left.
After his call with Tang Hongjiang, Wu Yun walked back into the study under the admiring gazes of Qi Fei and the others.
Subsequently, Qi Fei also went to the bedroom, grabbed a box, and walked into the study.
A few minutes later, Wu Yun had recorded a video of his new idea and uploaded it to Weibo.
This news was released at a time when the entire internet was mourning the victims. It was like a stone cast into a calm lake, creating a thousand ripples as it spread rapidly.
In less than a day, with the help of netizens, Wu Yun's video shot to the top of the trending topics.
At this point, three of the top ten trending topics were related to Wu Yun. Right behind the main incident was the topic, "Chinese Tycoon Accurately Predicts Stampede!"
