Chapter 99 Looking for someone
Chen Ling frowned more and more.
It's okay if the raw materials of a steel plant are hauled away. If the raw materials of all factories in the factory area are like this, then the problem will be big... The factories are the heart of the seven districts. What does it mean that Aurora City drains their blood?
Chen Ling's heart gradually sank. Although he didn't know what happened specifically, it was obvious...this was Aurora City targeting the seven regions.
"I understand." Chen Ling said immediately, "I will contact Aurora City to see what the situation is."
Meng Shi nodded, and Chen Ling asked again:
"Then don't you care about the wages of these workers?"
Meng Shi opened his mouth, but finally smiled helplessly, "Mr. Chen... we have nothing left in the factory, and the little cash on the books at the end is not enough to pay off their salaries."
"Not enough?" Chen Ling looked at his face, "How much more is enough?"
"It's enough to repay one-tenth at most...and this is still the money used to maintain the machine. If the money is repaid and the machine breaks down without maintenance for too long, the losses will be heavy."
Chen Ling didn't answer. He still stared at Meng Shi's eyes calmly, as if he wanted to see through him completely.
Seeing this, Meng Shi felt a little frightened. At this moment, Chen Ling slowly spoke.
"you are lying."
"……What?"
"I'll give you another chance."
Chen Ling put one hand into his arms, and the next moment, the black muzzle of the gun was pressed against Meng Shi's forehead. His voice was extremely cold, "Let me ask you again, how much money do you have on the books to repay?"
This scene directly frightened the others. They didn't understand why Chen Ling suddenly pulled out a gun while they were having a good conversation, but the other party was the law enforcement officer of the third district. They were scared and intimidated, even though their leader was held at gunpoint. , and didn’t even dare to take a step forward.
Meng Shi, on the other hand, was even more frightened. His face turned pale and his legs began to tremble.
Naturally, Chen Ling would not suddenly embarrass Meng Shi. The reason why he did this was because [Secret Eye]'s extreme ability to observe details allowed him to tell at a glance that Meng Shi was lying.
"Enough...half of it." Meng Shi said hurriedly, "When the factory director left, there really wasn't much cash on the books. I could only pay them five or six days' salary at most."
Chen Ling stared at Meng Shi for a moment, and after no trace of lying could be seen from his micro-expression, he slowly said: "Then pay back the money first."
If the work cannot be solved and wages cannot be paid, how can these workers who are besieging them outside just give up?
Facts have proved that the identity of the law enforcement officer is very useful in the third district. After all, Chen Ling has absolute law enforcement power. As long as he wants to, even if he just shot Meng Shi to death, there will not be much punishment.
Meng Shi, who had narrowly escaped death, did not dare to neglect. He hurriedly took out the last cash from the safe and took it with his men to the workers gathered at the door.
Chen Ling walked to one of the large machines and lifted off a corner of the plastic sheet covering it, revealing the cold machine.
Chen Ling looked at the faint layer of water stains on her fingertips, doubts flashing in her eyes.
Just then, a burst of noise came from the door.
Seeing this, Chen Ling walked straight to the door, and saw that the people who were originally crowding outside the iron gate had now surrounded Meng Shi and others who were going out to hand out money, and the mood was high.
“What do we need this money for??”
"Yes, without a job, this money will only be enough to survive for a few days... We have to get back to work!"
"..."
A small group of people took the money and their faces were obviously better than at the beginning, but the other group was still unwilling to accept it. One could only use a few days' salary, and the other had a job that could continuously support the family. No matter how you think about it, it was the latter. more important.
Meng Shi was sweating profusely. He wanted to go back and close the door directly, but when he saw Chen Ling's cold eyes in the factory, he still had to persuade him:
"The factory really has no raw materials now. Even if you are making trouble here, you can't resume work... I will contact Aurora City. Once the raw materials are in place, I will let you come back to resume work as soon as possible..."
"When can we resume work?"
"This...should be just these two days?"
After hearing this, everyone's expressions finally relaxed a little. They counted the coins in their hands, looked at each other, and then turned around and walked towards the block.
Zhao Yi was carrying the flag and was about to leave, but turned around and added viciously:
"We will come again tomorrow."
Seeing that the gang finally left, Meng Shi sighed deeply. He looked at Chen Ling walking out of the factory bitterly, but hesitated to speak.
"I will negotiate with you in Aurora City." Chen Ling took the initiative and said, "Guard the factory and be ready to resume work at any time."
After saying this, he walked out of the steel factory and walked towards several large factories around...
In the mist, Meng Shi stood at the gate of the steel plant, surrounded by deathly silence.
"well……"
"Brother Meng, what should we do now?"
Meng Shi frowned. He looked at the retreating figures of everyone, gritted his teeth and said, "What can I do? I can't stay in this place anymore. Let's leave quickly."
"What about the factory?"
"Whatever, the factory director abandoned us and ran away. Can the factory still be open?" Meng Shi walked into the factory in a hurry. "Fortunately, there are still some valuable things. It shouldn't be a problem to change the ticket..."
As he spoke, he started rummaging around in the factory director's office. At this moment, a dull knocking sound came from the workshop.
Dong dong dong——
"Who is it? What are you knocking on?"
Dong dong dong——
Meng Shi, who was immersed in searching, had anger on his face and looked up at the window.
Through the glass, he could see that there was no one in the dim workshop, and the few followers who were originally following him were nowhere to be seen.
Doubts flashed in Meng Shi's eyes. He stood up slowly and was about to open the door when a cold voice, like steel rubbing against steel, came from outside the door hoarsely and strangely:
"I'm here...to find someone..."
"I told you, the factory director has already entered Aurora City. Do you think it's interesting for you to keep stalking here??" When Meng Shi heard this, he immediately thought that it was the group who wanted to resume work just now, and he suddenly felt a little dizzy.
"I'm here...looking for someone..." The voice sounded again, and it seemed to be getting closer and closer to him.
"Fuck!" Meng Shi finally couldn't bear the suppressed anger in his heart. He walked to the door of the room and opened it, "Is it over yet? Who are you looking for..."
Meng Shi's voice stopped suddenly.
Outside the office door, I saw a black, faceless shadow standing there, like a centipede standing upright, with countless slender claws spread out to both sides. In the position of its mouth, a dark red blood The hole is slowly crawling...
And the voice came out hoarsely from the bloody hole.
"The scarlet master of the ghostly abyss;"
"The formless king who plays tricks on fate."
