153: Factory bombing

Tonight, Chen Su did not go out.

He spent the whole evening watching TV at home... time slowly ticked toward midnight.

With a thought, Chen Su summoned the Intelligence System.

When the system's light screen appeared, he directly clicked on the exchange intelligence option.

[Today's intelligence has been refreshed]

[Today's Intelligence 1 (A-rank): Gu Dahai, a former employee of Taihong Gas Cylinder Factory, was fired by Sun Zhao for frequent tardiness and early departures, with 800 yuan deducted from his wages. Recently, unable to find a job, Gu Dahai has harbored a grudge against Sun Zhao and plans to blow up the Gas Cylinder Factory at 2:30 AM today using self-assembled gasoline bombs.]

[Today's Intelligence 2 (B-rank): Gao Zilong and Liu Tianchuan of the Tiansheng Group legal department will report to the police tomorrow. At that time, Gao Zilong will be taken away by the police. The 1.5 million yuan he embezzled has all been withdrawn and is currently hidden under the bed in the guest room of Unit 7, Room 1602, Bixi Garden. Note: Door code: 870625]

[Today's Intelligence 3 (D-rank): Neither of the two children of Wang Qi, Xu Jing's best friend, are biologically fathered by her husband. Sun Shishi (Wang Qi's husband)'s phone number: 133...]

...After reading the A-rank intelligence clearly, Chen Su jumped straight out of bed.

"Holy shit, what's the deal? You're dissatisfied with life and hold a grudge against Sun Zhao, so go find him! Why the hell are you coming to blow up my factory? Fuck!"

He hurriedly took out his phone and called He Youwen.

"Are you off work yet?"

"Just about to head home and rest. What's up?" He Youwen's voice sounded a bit tired over the phone.

"Then don't go home. Take a few brothers and get over to the Taihong Gas Cylinder Factory immediately."

"What's the matter? Why the rush?"

"I'll explain in detail when you get here. Just hurry up. When you get to the gate, tell the security guard that I sent you."

"Fine!"

...After hanging up with He Youwen, Chen Su called Wang Xin.

"Are you at the factory right now, or at home?"

"At home. I was planning to move into the factory dorms tomorrow."

"Get to the factory right now."

"Okay!"

...Most of the employees at the Gas Cylinder Factory were from out of town and lived in the factory dormitories.

Chen Su called Lin Jingguo and told him to wake everyone up.

If they kept sleeping, they'd be blown to death. Sleep my ass... After calling everyone he could, Chen Su changed his clothes.

He went downstairs and drove toward the Gas Cylinder Factory.

"That goddamn Gu Dahai. Just wait until I catch you; see if I don't break your legs."

...By the time Chen Su reached the Gas Cylinder Factory, Wang Xin had already arrived.

He and a group of employees woken up by Lin Jingguo were standing in the factory's open space waiting for Chen Su.

"Is everyone here?" Chen Su asked, scanning the crowd.

"Everyone's here."

"Do any of you know Gu Dahai?"

"I know him. This Gu Dahai used to be a quality inspector at our factory. He was always late or leaving early, so President Sun fired him," said a quality inspector named Xie Ning.

"As long as you know him. I've received word that Gu Dahai is coming tonight with gasoline to blow up our factory. Everyone, spread out along the outside of the factory walls. The moment you see Gu Dahai, pin him to the ground and beat him within an inch of his life."

Chen Su's eyes were cold as he spoke in a low voice.

As the saying goes, cutting off someone's wealth is like killing their parents.

Chen Su had bet his entire net worth on this Gas Cylinder Factory, and this little punk actually wanted to blow it up.

How could he tolerate this?

If the factory really got blown up, losing the money would actually be the smallest concern.

None of the employees living in the factory would escape; they would surely be buried in a sea of fire and blown to ash... Hearing Chen Su say this, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

They didn't doubt the truth of Chen Su's words for a second.

A big boss like him was busy with a thousand things every day. If it weren't for a real crisis...

...why would he wake everyone up in the middle of the night?

"President Chen, don't worry. We'll definitely break Gu Dahai's dog legs later." The employees present were all filled with righteous indignation.

If Chen Su hadn't discovered it in time, they would have been wiped out by Gu Dahai tonight... Just then, He Youwen arrived in a police car.

Lin Jingguo hurried to the main gate to open it.

The police car slowly pulled into a parking space inside the Gas Cylinder Factory.

He Youwen was the first to get out.

Four Police Officers followed him out of the car.

"What's going on that requires such a big turnout?" He Youwen asked, seeing the factory employees gathered there.

"I got word that someone is coming with gasoline drums to blow up the factory later," Chen Su said bluntly... "Holy shit, someone's that ruthless? Where is he now? I'll take my men and bring him down first."

"I don't know exactly where he is, which is why I called you. Take a few brothers and lie in ambush with my employees under the outer walls. That guy will likely come in the dead of night when everyone is asleep."

When He Youwen heard Chen Su mention 'his' employees, he couldn't help but ask.

"This factory is yours?"

"Yeah, just bought it the day before yesterday."

"Badass!!" He gave Chen Su a thumbs up.

Other than 'badass', he couldn't think of any other word to describe his admiration for Chen Su... Chen Su handed over the coordination of the factory employees to He Youwen.

Under He Youwen's arrangement.

The employees present were split into teams of two and lay in ambush under the walls outside the factory... Maple City was exceptionally hot in the summer, and even now, in the middle of the night, it was still very muggy.

The area outside the wall was overgrown with weeds. The previous owner, Sun Zhao, whose factory was on the verge of bankruptcy, naturally had no interest in tending to the weeds on the outer walls.

Chen Su had just taken over and could only ensure normal production in the short term; he couldn't cover everything at once.

Things had to be done one step at a time... Many weeds meant many mosquitoes.

As everyone crouched by the weeds, they were nearly carried away by mosquitoes... Time ticked by slowly.

2:00 AM.

The door to a room in a certain urban village was suddenly opened.

A man carried a gasoline drum in his left hand and three 2L Coke bottles in his right.

The bottles were filled with an unknown transparent liquid.

The man went downstairs and got on his Black Jialing Motorcycle, which was parked in a corner of the alley.

He kicked the starter pedal hard several times!

"Vroom~ Vroom~ Vroom!"

He twisted the throttle gently three times, and once it stabilized...

...he slowly shifted into third gear, twisted the throttle to the max, and drove toward the outskirts of the city... The outskirts were very quiet late at night, with the constant chirping of insects in the roadside trees.

"Vroom~ Vroom~ Vroom~"

At 2:20 AM, the roar of a motorcycle came from the distance.

Looking from afar, a motorcycle could be seen driving toward them.

The dim yellow headlight was very weak... The motorcycle drew closer.

It slowly stopped 150 meters away from the Taihong Gas Cylinder Factory.

After parking the bike, the rider stepped off.

He lifted a gasoline drum with his right hand and three large Coke bottles filled with liquid in his left.

He walked toward a section of the Gas Cylinder Factory's wall...
