Chapter 2712 One Warning, Two Detentions
Liuzhou, early morning!
In the distance, the deep blue-gray sky hung low, not yet fully awakened by the sunlight. Only a sliver of cold white light cracked open on the eastern horizon, sparingly letting in a few rays to illuminate the city's blurry appearance.
Crunch, crunch…
The door opened, and the early riser pushed his cart onto the street, breathed heavily on his palms twice, and then stepped onto the slightly bleached street.
Occasionally, one or two doors would creak open, releasing a puff of hot white smoke, and figures wrapped in thick cotton clothes would rush out, their breath instantly condensing into white mist.
The hurried footsteps of pedestrians on the ground made a monotonous and crisp "tap, tap" sound, which only accentuated the deathly silence around them.
At the machinery factory, the security guard on duty yawned as he left through the main gate, heading to the canteen for breakfast.
This meal is what all the security personnel on duty at night look forward to the most.
If we can eat one meal, we can eat less at lunchtime and save some money for the family.
Therefore, people usually go to the restaurant to wait for their shift to change.
Even though it became an important unit of the Nine Ministries, and despite repeated orders from above to strengthen defenses, they only symbolically increased manpower.
These habits developed over the years have made them less vigilant than before.
Since nothing much had happened over the years, everyone had become accustomed to it.
At that moment, a group of people came out of the security room and headed towards the canteen.
In the end, only a half-grown boy was left, dozing off on the table.
ta ta ta
Just as the group reached the corner, they suddenly heard a series of rapid footsteps coming from the side.
The group leader was taken aback for a moment, and then saw a group of people walk out of his blurry vision.
The group unconsciously stopped in their tracks.
As the people approached, the team leader could see who they were.
The internal audit team members.
In an instant, the team leader's expression changed.
They all knew about what happened three days ago; he had been specifically told to go home and look after his children.
Then, when he returned, he learned the whole story.
I was initially worried that they would hold me accountable later, but to my surprise, they stayed in their residence like a coward during this time, only eating and using the toilet and doing nothing else.
This also eased the tension in the security department.
But who would have thought that the working group, which hadn't left the house for many days, would actually appear here.
Moreover, judging from their fully prepared appearance, they were clearly not to be trifled with.
Seeing Secretary Liu and his men walk out, the group leader stood there, bewildered.
The team leader didn't realize what was happening until the other person reached the gate.
"Quickly, go and inform the section chief."
Those around them were still confused about the situation and remained motionless.
"Damn it, hurry up and go find the section chief."
The team leader kicked the person next to him, who only realized what was happening after being kicked, and then ran towards the office.
"Come back here, what the hell were you doing in the office?"
The man was startled again.
"Damn it, go to the section chief's house, hurry up."
"oh oh!"
The man immediately ran towards the main gate.
"Team leader, let's eat first!"
Someone spoke up beside him, but the team leader kicked him, yelling, "Eat, eat, eat! All you ever do is eat! You'll eat yourself to death!"
"Go and call for help! Everyone go and call for help!"
The team leader roared, completely ignoring the work group members who had just walked a short distance away.
The young man who had been sent out to find the section chief had just run past the work group, his head bowed as if afraid of being seen, but he stopped involuntarily as soon as he reached the gate.
At the same time, the young man who had been sleeping on the table in the room also raised his head, his blurry eyes still looking drowsy.
Rumble…
The sound grew louder and louder until they could see clearly, and both of them were filled with horror.
laugh…
The car stopped at the gate, and then six people ran out to the two men's astonishment.
Two of them rushed into the security room.
Before the young man could figure out what was going on, someone grabbed him by the back of the collar and dragged him to a corner.
The young man wanted to ask a question, but the two men looked menacing and were armed to the teeth, making his mouth tremble with fear.
"You, who are you?"
The remaining four quickly took over the surrounding defenses, and then one of them opened the gate.
At this moment, the young man standing at the door finally mustered up the courage to ask a question.
As a result, the person who opened the door walked up to him with a Type 56 submachine gun in one hand and a cold expression. Instantly, a powerful sense of oppression enveloped the surroundings, causing the young man to unconsciously hunch his back and stand there dumbfounded, unable to look directly at him.
"We are from the headquarters security department, and we have been ordered to take over the defense of the machinery factory!"
"Are you from the security department?"
The young man shuddered violently. "Yes, yes, I'm from the security department!"
"From now on, all factory security personnel will be under the command of headquarters!"
"Sir, from headquarters?"
His voice trembled, and his body became unresponsive.
However, before the young man could speak, he was pushed backward by the person in front of him until he reached the side of the road, where he stopped.
"Stand still here! Don't move!"
The young man subconsciously responded, and then saw the armored vehicle parked at the gate rumble into the factory.
The officers on duty who were looking for someone nearby were also startled by the armored vehicle that suddenly rushed in.
Before they could speak, the car stopped, and a group of people got out one after another.
Like the youth, these people were mostly young, and few of them had even shed blood, let alone gone to the battlefield.
Seeing this scene, I was not only shocked but also somewhat terrified!
What are we here for?
Unlike his ignorant and fearless subordinates, the only one who could remain calm was the squad leader. Seeing this scene before him, especially when he could clearly see the patterns on the armored vehicle in the morning light, he stood there like a wooden statue.
Because these people are the security department of the Ninth Division, their direct superiors.
"gather!"
"Attention!" *Clap clap*
The group quickly disembarked and assembled. At the same time, armored vehicles began to enter various parts of the factory, and the drivers appeared at weapon firing positions with indifferent expressions.
Qu Wei got out of the car and quickly assigned tasks.
"Team One is responsible for the workshop!"
"Second Team is in charge of the Security Section!"
"Team Three is responsible for maintaining order in the factory!"
"Martial law is now in effect at the entire factory!"
"Attention: Anyone who disobeys orders will be warned once, detained twice, and killed if they resist!"
"Yes!"
The entire squadron roared and then rushed to their respective locations.
Hearing the murderous voice, the group leader and his men instinctively stepped back to make way, with the more timid ones even sitting down on the ground.
"Are you from the security department too?"
A warrior whose eyes were the only visible part of his body approached, his voice cold.
"Yes, yes, we are from the security department!"
"Come with me!"
"Yes! Yes..."
The group dared not resist and immediately followed them away.
At the main entrance!
"Old Liu, it's like meeting an old friend in a foreign land!"
Liang Zuoxin got out of the car, his face covered in stubble, and then gave Liu Huaimin a hug.
"What do you mean by meeting an old friend? This is like rain after a long drought!"
Liu Huaimin patted Liang Zuoxin's back forcefully, feeling deeply moved.
If the other party doesn't come, we can still resolve the issue of the machinery factory by following his method.
However, the process will not be simple, and may even be mentally and physically exhausting.
But now that the other party has arrived, things are much easier.
Cut the Gordian knot quickly and decisively.
"Did you bring all the documents?"
Liu Huaimin asked a question, and Qu Wei, who was following behind Liang Zuoxin, immediately handed over his briefcase. Liang Zuoxin took it and then handed it to Liu Huaimin.
"Everything inside is prepared, and there are a few blank ones. Yang Xiaotao has also signed and stamped them all. You can handle it yourself!"
After Liang Zuoxin finished speaking, he checked the time again. "You go ahead with your work, I need to get down to business here too!"
Liu Huaimin handed the briefcase to Sun Yan behind him and then said, "The head of the security department, Cao Qing, is related to Lan Baoguo by marriage."
"Ok?"
Liang Zuoxin frowned. "Such a basic mistake, didn't the higher-ups review it?"
Liu Huaimin shook his head, "Cao Qing's first wife died of illness, so he married Lan Baoguo's sister-in-law."
"However, there's a ten-year age gap between them; who knows what secrets they might have!"
Liang Zuoxin sneered, "Whatever secrets they may be, get rid of them all!"
Liu Huaimin nodded. The security department's affairs were not under his jurisdiction, and the two sides were not in the same system. He had said what needed to be said, and they should get back to their work.
"We're going now!"
Liu Huaimin said something, and then led the working group toward the office building.
Liang Zuoxin then looked at the security personnel who had accompanied the working group earlier and said, "You tell Captain Qu about the situation."
"Seal off the factory! Entry is permitted, but exit is not!"
"Yes!"
……
The sunlight finally gave up on the sun and shone all its energy on the land of Liuzhou.
It also encourages the people living on this land to get moving.
After finishing their meal, they began their day's work.
At the gate of the machinery factory.
People walked across the road one after another, paused briefly at the gate, and then walked into the factory with questions in their eyes.
"Old Ma, when did the security guards at this gate change their personnel?"
Some people asked with doubt.
When asked, Lao Ma looked completely bewildered. "I don't know! These people don't seem to be from our factory!"
"Besides, their equipment is different too!"
"Could it be that higher-ups are coming, and this is a precautionary measure?"
"possible!"
The group chatted amongst themselves, but once they entered the gate, they felt something was different.
The armored vehicles parked along the roadside, in particular, occupied almost half of the road. The people inside were dressed in the same clothes as the guards at the gate, but they also wore masks under their helmets, revealing only a pair of sharp eyes. This made people who walked past the vehicles feel colder than the day itself.
"No, I have a feeling something bad is about to happen!"
Some people sensed an unease, and the person next to them had the same expression.
"Go back and tell the director right away..."
Some people realized what was happening and tried to leave, but then they heard a quarrel behind them.
A young man of medium build was seen trying to leave through the main gate, but the security guards wouldn't let him.
Just as everyone was wondering, a security guard suddenly performed a back throw, and the young man who had been arguing just moments before was lying on the ground, unable to get up.
"take away!"
A cold voice rang out, and immediately the security guards dragged the young man away. Those around who witnessed this scene trembled in their hearts.
When did the security department become so assertive?
Some people still wanted to leave, but now they've become completely numb.
Tap tap tap tap
Footsteps approached, and those around looked again to see four guards dressed similarly walking over.
Upon seeing the workers lingering by the roadside, the leader immediately said, "Everyone, return to your posts and do not linger in the factory."
"Unauthorized movement is strictly prohibited!"
As the sound faded, the onlookers immediately dispersed, all thinking to themselves, "Something terrible has happened!"
As more and more people came to the machine factory, more and more people noticed something amiss, and the atmosphere in the entire machine factory became increasingly gloomy.
