117: What trouble did you encounter?

“Who are you? What are you doing here?” Seeing the truck full of armed soldiers and several strangers with Asian City faces, the security guard's expression kept changing, completely unsure of their intentions.

“Uncle Security Guard Lie, it’s me, Kadeyafu.” Kadeyafu got out of the car and walked towards Security Guard Lie.

“Is that you, Kadeyafu? It really is you! You finally came back.” When the security guard recognized the person, a long-lost smile appeared on his face.

“Uncle Security Guard Lie, what exactly happened here? Where did Uncle Adrian go?” Kadeyafu asked eagerly.

Hearing this, Security Guard Lie’s eyes became moist: “He said he was going on a business trip that day, and there’s been no news of him since.”

“Then all the orders started to be canceled, and no one knew why.”

Kadeyafu asked: “When did this start?”

“Last month.” Security Guard Lie’s voice trembled, and his hands also shook uncontrollably. “I tried everything, but the cooperating factories were like they had changed faces, avoiding me when they saw me.

Only Adrian could contact you, so I could only watch the factory decline step by step, completely powerless!” Security Guard Lie was heartbroken, and tears couldn't stop flowing down.

This old man, who had been strong his whole life, cried like a helpless child in front of Kadeyafu. The Malyshev Military Factory carried too much of his effort and hope.

“Uncle Security Guard Lie, this is not your fault, Uncle Adrian must have encountered some trouble.”

“But please rest assured, I will not let the Malyshev Military Factory close down!” Kadeyafu said firmly. This factory was obtained by his grandfather with great effort.

But how could he raise funds to save the factory? At this moment, Kadeyafu remembered something. He turned to look at Xu Ning, who was walking over, and smiled.

That’s right, now this matter should be worried about by the new shareholder, Xu Ning. So, Kadeyafu walked up to Xu Ning and introduced him to Security Guard Lie:

“Uncle Security Guard Lie, this is the new savior of our military factory, and also the new Factory Director, Mr. Xu Ning!”

Xu Ning’s expression instantly froze, and then he forced out a stiff smile. He felt like he had been pulled into a pit. He originally only wanted to use this factory as a stepping stone, but now he had become the factory’s savior?

However, speaking of funds…

For him, it was not a problem. Whether it was his own assets or the funds provided by Uncle Chao, it was enough to support this factory.

It’s just, what could saving this factory bring him? He originally planned to establish contact with other manufacturers through this factory, but now it seems this plan might not work.

Just as Xu Ning was lost in thought, the security guard and others were already unable to contain their excitement.

“This, is this true? Kadeyafu, then I’ll go recall the workers now.” The security guard said with a face full of surprise.

“We’ll help too, Security Guard Lie supervisor, we know the addresses of the other fellow workers, we will definitely help you find them all back by tomorrow morning!” The other two workers said excitedly.

This way, they no longer had to worry about unemployment and living problems.

“Excuse me, let me interrupt, please allow me to refuse,” Xu Ning said.

The factory was now worthless to him, and he felt no obligation to save it.

Kadeyafu said in surprise: “But, you own sixty percent of the shares of this factory, you are the Factory Director here.”

“So what? Kadeyafu, I am a businessman. For a worthless factory, even if I had one hundred percent of the shares, I would still give up.

Moreover, you didn’t intend for me to manage this factory in the first place, did you? Otherwise, why would you follow me here?”

“Enough, I think you guys should have been taught a lesson long ago, don’t be ungrateful, guard team, confiscate their weapons!” Ivanyafu roared furiously.

Although Xie Biao and others mostly didn't understand what he was saying, they could feel the tense atmosphere. When they saw the guard team raise their guns, they also reacted immediately.

They shouted loudly: “Mi sha li si! Mi sha li si! Mi sha li si!”

This was russian that Xu Ning taught them, meaning “Don’t move.” This was the sentence that left the deepest impression on them, and also the first one they used.

Now, the two sides stood face to face, the situation tense, as if just a spark would ignite it.

Xu Ning was expressionless, without any intention of compromising, as if ready for battle at any moment. This seemed a bit unusual for him, a self-proclaimed businessman.

Cold sweat broke out on Ivanyafu’s forehead. He originally just wanted to scare the other party, but he didn't expect them to be completely fearless.

If a fight really broke out at such close range, the casualties would definitely be heavy. It didn’t matter if he died, but if Kadeyafu was implicated, how could he face Allah?

Xu Ning said in russian: “We are leaving now, if you dare to shoot, everyone will be finished.”

After speaking, Xu Ning led the team to slowly retreat.

Ivanyafu’s eyes were wide open, his hand raised in mid-air, but he didn't dare to lower it.

Kadeyafu beside him was terrified, on the one hand, he was afraid of an accident causing a tragedy; on the other hand, he also knew that without Xu Ning’s help, the factory could not be revived.

Seeing that Xu Ning was about to leave, Kadeyafu quickly shouted: “Wait…”

“Mr. Xu, I want to talk to you, we can find a quiet place to talk privately, if you are still not satisfied in the end, it won’t be too late to leave.”

Xu Ning frowned and said: “Okay, but you have to let your men put down their guns first.”

“Okay, no problem.” Kadeyafu quickly appeased Ivanyafu, “Uncle Ivanyafu, let the guard team put down their guns, we didn’t come here to fight.”

Ivanyafu snorted and obediently ordered the guard team to put down their weapons. He knew his mission was to protect Kadeyafu.

Only when both sides put down their weapons did Kadeyafu finally breathe a sigh of relief. The two workers not far away were so scared their legs were trembling.

After Xu Ning instructed Xie Biao to act according to the situation, he went into an empty room next door with Kadeyafu to discuss matters. The factory had been cleared out, and there was nothing in the room except for the marks on the walls where furniture used to be placed.

“Your technology is still not good enough, right.”

Xu Ning said indifferently: “If you are just here to say this, then we have nothing to talk about.”

He was the one who designed the “Qiongqi” tank, and he was very confident in their independently developed 1500 horsepower 12-cylinder twin-turbo diesel engine.

Although additional technology was also valuable, it was impossible for him to save this factory based on this alone.

Although he had expected it, Kadeyafu still felt a hint of disappointment. He had always been an excellent student, but he could never get the upper hand in front of Xu Ning.
