From Zero to Hero in the Doomsday - Chapter 928
Chapter 928 People’s Lives Are at Stake
The green pickup truck was speeding along the middle of the night. Although Bai Muran looked dignified, she was now showing an unusually strong aura. Chen Guangda, who was sitting on the passenger seat, could also see that Bai Muran had a ruthless spirit in her bones. At the critical moment, she was a master who dared to risk her life. Otherwise, she would not have gone outside the city to collect the goods herself.
“Squeak ~”
The pickup truck stopped at the entrance of the pharmaceutical factory with an ear-piercing friction sound. Chen Guangda almost hit the windshield, but Bai Muran pushed open the door and jumped down like a tornado. Chen Guangda had no choice but to follow suit.
This was the first time Chen Guangda had come to Bai Muran’s pharmaceutical factory. The factory wasn’t very big. The two factories and two small warehouses were considered complete. There wasn’t even a proper office building. However, there were already three fire engines parked in the courtyard. There were also many workers with buckets and washbasins standing by the side. One of the warehouses had been half burned down.
“How did you patrol the warehouse? Can’t you see that they burned our warehouse?”
Bai Muran angrily glared at the security guards and shouted loudly, but the security captain wrongly said, “President Bai! This time, it was definitely not an arson by outsiders. We know that there are precious medicinal ingredients in the warehouse, and we didn’t even dare to blink when patrolling. This time, it was a fire caused by a short circuit in the electric wire. The electrician had already warned those aged wiring to be changed!”
“What? No … wasn’t it an outsider who set the fire …”
Bai Muran’s expression instantly stiffened. Who knew that a few firefighters would suddenly walk over. The leading officer coldly said, “President Bai!” “I warned you last time that fire prevention is a matter of life and death. Fortunately, no one was burned to death this time. Otherwise, I will send you to the squatting room. But from now on, you are not allowed to produce any more. When the rectification is up to standard, you will start again!”
“No way! We have a batch of medicine to be delivered immediately. Could you please accommodate it? Let us rectify it while we are producing it?”
Bai Muran immediately shouted anxiously, but the officer snorted coldly, “I already gave you a chance, but you took my words for granted and even joked about the lives of your workers. From now on, I will keep an eye on you. If you dare to secretly give birth, you can just wait and go to jail! Hmph ~”
“Ma … I’m sorry to trouble you …”
Bai Muran took two steps back in a daze and directly leaned against the utility pole. However, Chen Guangda secretly pulled the officer aside and took out a stack of money and stuffed it into his pocket. He smiled and said, “Sir, it’s really not easy for us to start a small business. Do you think we can rectify it tonight and stop issuing the factory closure order?”
“I’m sorry! People’s lives are at stake. I can’t help you with this …”
The officer directly returned the money to Chen Guangda, patted his shoulder and climbed onto the fire truck. Chen Guangda immediately opened his mouth in shock. He did not expect that there was such a person who spoke of principles. He could only find Old Huang and ask, “Brother Huang! What exactly happened? Is it really a short circuit in the electric line?”
“Ai ~ Our electrician just went to check. It was indeed caused by the aging of the wires …”
Old Huang sighed helplessly. He took the cigarette from Chen Guangda and said, “This time, we have been careful to secretly store all the precious medicinal ingredients in the basement. However, although the loss this time is not big, not producing them would be too much. If we can’t deliver them on time, we will have to compensate them for a large sum of money. I’m afraid the factory won’t be able to survive!”
“Is there such a coincidence? It’s not a short circuit, it’s not a short circuit. It’s just at this critical juncture …”
Chen Guangda looked suspiciously at the burning warehouse. The workers were still carrying the goods inside, and Bai Muran, who was squatting not far away, was hooking her head deeply. Seeing that her shrugging shoulders were clearly crying, Xiao Se’s figure looked extremely helpless and lonely.
“Of course!”
Suddenly! “But don’t be afraid. No matter what happens, I’ll accompany you. Don’t cry!” A gentle man wearing golden-rimmed glasses hurriedly jumped down and rushed to Bai Muran’s side, eagerly asking, “But don’t be afraid. No matter what happens, I’ll accompany you. Don’t cry!”
“Su Yan …”
Bai Muran directly threw herself into Su Yan’s embrace and cried. However, Chen Guangda was surprised to see them. Bai Muran had always been single and had never heard the girls mention who she had an affair with. The slightly thin and gentle man in front of him was very rich at first glance and looked very cultured.
“Ran Ran! Stop crying and immediately organize the workers to move the equipment to my factory. I will register a pharmaceutical company early tomorrow morning. If nothing unexpected happens, you can resume production tomorrow afternoon …”
After Su Yan heard what was going on, he immediately patted Bai Muran on the shoulder and comforted him in a low voice. It seemed that he really cared about Bai Muran. The concerned look in his eyes was obviously sincere, and Bai Muran also sobbed as she raised her head and said, “Thank you!” “Thank you, Su Yan. I… I really don’t know what to say. Every time something happens, I have to trouble you!”
“Old classmate! Why are you so polite to me? You’re my goddess …”
Su Yanhun shook his head carelessly. Bai Muran finally smiled shyly. Only then did Chen Guangda understand that the two of them were old classmates. However, he walked forward and said, “President Bai, you’d better settle the mole matter first before you move. Otherwise, even if you arrive at the new factory, you’ll catch fire and even implicate your friend!”
“Uh ~ This friend is …”
Su Yan pushed his glasses and looked at Chen Guangda in surprise. Bai Muran quickly wiped away her tears and hesitated, “This is … Zhao Ziwen, the boyfriend of my neighbor Shanshan. He is the director of a funeral company. We happened to be at the funeral home when the accident happened. He came with me. Oh right! What do you mean by mole?”
“So this fire was set by your insiders, right? Brother Zhao …”
Su Yan’s reaction was quick. He chuckled and looked at Chen Guangda, but Bai Muran shook his head and said, “Absolutely impossible. Our employees are basically old employees. I know their character very well. Moreover, the fire brigade said that it was a fire caused by aging circuits. How could it have anything to do with our employees?”
“Alright! Since you don’t believe in evil, I’ll let you take a look …”
Chen Guangda shook his head mockingly. He turned around and picked up a wooden stick and walked towards the warehouse. He aimed it at a man with a waistband. The man immediately fell to the ground with a miserable scream, but Chen Guangda stepped on his chest and shouted, “Speak! Who told you to make a move on the electric wire!”
“It wasn’t me! It wasn’t me who did it …”
The electrician cried out in horror, However, Chen Guangda smashed the electrician’s head into a shakyamuni, and then cursed fiercely, “Don’t you dare to be so hard-mouthed? We installed pinhole cameras inside and outside the warehouse, and the scene of you making a move has already been recorded. If you don’t tell me honestly, I will beat you to death tonight!”
The electrician immediately hugged his leg and cried, “Stop! Please stop! I was also forced to do it! I… I owed him a sum of money outside. Later, I found out that it was the vice president of the Miracle Medicine Pharmaceutical Factory who set me up. If I didn’t do anything, they would send me to prison. I really was forced!”
“Bastard!”
Bai Muran suddenly shouted angrily. He rushed over and slapped the other party’s face fiercely. Then, he angrily cursed, “You killed and set fire for your own selfish interests. Those people who were burned to death are your good brothers and colleagues, you crazy bastard!”
“President Bai! I’m sorry, I didn’t know there was someone inside when I set the fire. I really didn’t mean to. Please forgive me this time. I still have a wife and children at home …”
The electrician knelt on the ground like garlic and kowtowed repeatedly. However, Bai Muran was really angry this time. After fiercely kicking him over, he shouted loudly, “Bind him up and escort him to the police station. We absolutely cannot let him off lightly like this scum. We must give our colleagues an explanation!”
“Bastard! Wait for this daddy to be shot …”
Old Huang and the others all rushed forward like wolves and tied up the other party and threw him into the pickup truck. They immediately drove towards the direction of the police station. However, Bai Muran wiped away her tears and said in a mournful voice, “What’s wrong with the people now? They can kill and set fire for a small sum of money. Are their hearts made of stones?”
“Don’t think that if you treat them well, they will repay you twice as much. Don’t tell me you don’t understand the logic behind raising enmity by fighting rice and raising enmity by raising rice. They think it’s only natural that you treat them too well …”
Chen Guangda expressionlessly shook his head. He threw away the stick in his hand and walked out. Unexpectedly, Bai Muran suddenly caught up with him quickly. He wiped away his tears and murmured, “Tonight … I really thank you. If you hadn’t found that guy, there would definitely be a bigger accident in the future. Thank you!”
“Stop thanking me. As long as you can keep it a secret, I will become Amitabha …”
Chen Guangda chuckled nonchalantly, but Bai Muran said with a complicated expression, “Actually, I didn’t want to go over and tell on him. President Yang himself isn’t a good man or woman, and his money isn’t clean either. I only said that in a fit of anger. After all, your methods are a bit … naughty!”
“President Bai! This is not the past. The outside world has long been a man-eating world. If you are still so naive, I can guarantee that your company will close down soon …”
Chen Guangda shrugged his shoulders in disapproval. Bai Muran bit her red lips and nodded lightly. However, Chen Guangda watched Su Yan slowly walk up from behind and smiled, “This handsome guy treats you well. If you weren’t a lesbian, you would have left him. Women are fortunate to fight alone!”
“No! He’s my college classmate, not the kind of relationship you think he is …”
Bai Muran hurriedly raised her head to explain, but Chen Guangda turned around and left without saying a word. He waved his hand at her without turning back, but Bai Muran shouted from behind, “I’ll treat you to dinner tomorrow night. You and Shan Shan and the others should come!”
“Unless you say in public that you’re a pig, haha …”
