Chapter 134 Big Mission

Chapter 134 Big Mission (Part )
Each machine and equipment was carefully inspected. After the three groups finished inspecting their own equipment, they took turns inspecting and then exchanged inspections.

After checking all three machines three times, Engineer Cui looked at everyone.

"Please help me nail the wooden box back on!"

"Okay, leave it to us, you guys take a rest!" Deputy Director Zhao said quickly.

Take Li Kailang and a group of security guards to nail the wood.

Engineer Cui and his six colleagues were also not idle. Although they did not give any instructions, they were watching them move, fearing that they would damage the equipment.

Soon, the three machines were nailed back on, and from the outside they looked as if nothing had happened.

"Okay, please help me dismantle the other three wooden boxes."

After unpacking, this time it was not the same device as the previous three.

Everyone looked at Cui Gong, but he didn't explain.

Li Kailang noticed the engineers and eighth-level workers. Beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads. It was obvious that vehicle inspection was very tiring, so he did not explain to them.

After taking it apart, the six people began to check it again, and Li Kailang did not go forward to take a look.

After looking around these devices, Li Kailang couldn't figure out what they were.

Others were the same, so they didn't care.

Li Kailang raised his hand and took a look. It was almost noon.

"Uncle Ma!" Li Kailang walked to Ma Wenxuan and said softly.

"what happened?"

"It's almost noon! Why don't we go buy some food first?" Li Kailang explained.

Hearing this, Ma Wenxuan looked down at his watch and reported to Deputy Director Zhao.

"Okay, go quickly and come back soon. Have a big lunch. It's okay to advance some money and tickets. I'll reimburse you when you get back!" Deputy Director Zhao whispered hurriedly.

Ma Wenxuan took Li Kailang and a security guard and left the warehouse.

Time passed little by little, and soon it was three o'clock in the afternoon.

After several hours of careful inspection, the six people finally completed the comprehensive inspection of the six machines and equipment.

Engineer Cui wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Deputy Director Zhao, we have completed the inspection. There are no abnormalities in the six machines and equipment. They can be used normally!"

"Okay, okay, you've worked hard. Go and take a rest. We'll nail the wooden boxes shut later." Deputy Director Zhao said quickly.

Seeing them sweating profusely, the clothes on their backs were soaked with sweat, and their faces were slightly pale, it was obvious that the long inspection work had made them exhausted.

These equipment imported from abroad are very valuable and any negligence may cause serious losses, so they must be treated with caution.

Once damaged, it will not only take a lot of time and money to repair, but may also affect the production progress of the entire steel rolling mill.

Most importantly, if it breaks down, foreign exchange will be needed to invite foreign experts to repair it, which will result in unnecessary foreign exchange expenditure.

All these reasons combined force them to be cautious.

Deputy Factory Director Zhao felt so distressed when he saw them. He hurriedly made arrangements:
"Engineer Cui, take everyone to rest. I have prepared food. Let's eat something to replenish our energy."

"Thank you, Deputy Director Zhao. We are not tired and can set off immediately." Engineer Cui waved his hand and said.

"How can this be possible! You should take a rest first. It won't be too late to leave once you have recovered!" Deputy Director Zhao insisted.

You are the important asset of the steel mill, and you must not make any mistakes. If the machine breaks down, we can repair it, but if something goes wrong with you, it will be a big deal. "

These engineers and workers are the heart of the steel mill and their health and safety is of paramount importance.

Although machines and equipment are important, it would be counterproductive if they cause them to be overworked or even cause accidents.

But Engineer Cui didn't think so. The original plan was to gather at 4 o'clock. If they were late, that wouldn't do!
"Don't worry, we are fine. We can't delay the progress of the factory." Engineer Cui said.

After a lot of shirking of responsibility, Cui Gong and his team finally backed off!
"You guys continue to rest, I will make arrangements next!" Deputy Director Zhao said, and looked at Li Kailang.

"Comrade Li Kailang, please ask other drivers to come over so we can load the equipment onto the trucks."

Li Kailang responded and immediately ran out to inform other drivers.

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, when the afterglow of the setting sun fills the earth.

After a simple dinner, everyone began intensive preparations for departure without taking a moment to rest.

When they heard that they were going to set off today, the drivers were somewhat dissatisfied and blamed Deputy Director Zhao one after another.

They originally planned to go out for a walk and relax before leaving.

Although they were somewhat dissatisfied, the masters still followed the instructions.

"This is a relief!"

Watching the convoy successfully drive out of the Tanggu Port and then pass a fork in the road, Deputy Director Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.

He was also aware of everyone's dissatisfaction, but what he knew even more clearly was that time was tight and the task was heavy.

Wu Xingyou looked at Deputy Director Zhao's relieved expression and couldn't help feeling a little confused.

Until now, he still didn't understand why Deputy Director Zhao was in such a hurry to set off.

Although previous tasks were important, they had never been under such a tight schedule.

"Deputy Director Zhao, why is this mission so urgent that we have to set off early?"

Cui Jianshe, who was standing by, also echoed, "Yes, we can't handle the rush."

Hearing the two people's questions, Deputy Director Zhao smiled bitterly and explained:

"You don't know, this time the situation is quite special. If we had been a step later, half of the six devices in the car would have been intercepted by others."

"Ah?!" the two exclaimed.

"Deputy Director Zhao, why is this happening?" asked Engineer Wu.

Deputy Director Zhao sighed and explained:

"This time, these equipment were not originally for our rolling mill. Four of them were allocated to the first and second rolling mills."

"Because our factory recently obtained an important technical patent, the ministry temporarily decided to allocate the equipment to our factory first."

"Isn't it just giving our factory first? Is it necessary for them to come and snatch it away?" Engineer Wu asked with some confusion.

"As for that! Do you know when their next batch will arrive?" Deputy Director Zhao asked back.

The two shook their heads. How would they know?
Deputy Factory Director Zhao said in a deep voice: "It will take three months at the earliest and half a year at the latest!"

Upon hearing this time span, the two widened their eyes.

In a quarter, a steel rolling mill can produce dozens of tons of steel, which is not a small number.

High steel production also means good welfare in the factory and support from above.

"Which monster would come to rob? I want to rob too. Dozens of tons of steel!" Engineer Cui agreed.

"Actually, this is not the most troublesome thing." Deputy Director Zhao dropped another bombshell.

Engineer Cui and Lao Liu were both stunned, wondering if Deputy Director Zhao had anything more troublesome to worry about.

“If it’s just two more devices, they can be put into the workshop and used.”

"But this time there are six more machines. The factory plans to open another workshop by taking out the extra machines," said Deputy Director Zhao.

"Is our factory planning to recruit people?" Engineer Cui's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly.

Opening another workshop means more job opportunities, and as an eighth-level worker he will also have a job quota.

You know, if you want to work in a steel mill now, you can't get in without some connections.

Whether you give it to family members or relatives, or sell it, you can make a lot of money, but selling your job is the worst option.

"It's not certain yet, the factory is still discussing it!" said Deputy Director Zhao.

Deputy Director Zhao poured cold water on him.

"However, I don't think this will work. The machines in the factory are old and broken. It will be difficult to open another workshop!"

the two murmured to themselves, both of them feeling a little discouraged.

Originally there were only two machines, which were intended to replace the old ones, but they didn't care.

But with six more machines, it would be a bit too much for them.

They are engineers and fitters, so naturally they have more children than the average person, but not every child can work in a steel mill.

Some children worked in factories outside and planned to exchange them for jobs in the steel mill.

But now it seems that this opportunity may not be easy to get.

"Beep--"

Suddenly, a sharp whistle sounded from the car in front. The sudden noise instantly brought the three people in the car back to reality.

"What's going on?" Deputy Director Zhao asked immediately, his brows furrowed and a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

"Deputy Director Zhao, I'll go down and take a look!" the car driver replied immediately.

However, before he could get out of the car, Ma Wenxuan came over and drove him back into the car.

"Deputy Director Zhao, Engineer Wu, Engineer Cui, please stay in the car. Do not get out without my order!"

Ma Wenxuan said in a serious tone and took out a pistol.

"Okay!" Deputy Director Zhao responded.

Seeing this, Ma Wenxuan waved his hand and all the security guards got out of the car.

"Click~" the pistol is loaded.

Ma Wenxuan waved his hand to signal the security guards to get out of the car. They quickly dispersed, loaded their pistols, and prepared for battle.

The drivers also took out their pistols, and Li Kailang was no exception.

"Deputy Director Zhao, could it be that people from the first and second factories are blocking us?" Wu Xingyou asked.

"I don't know, let's see! I hope it's not!" Deputy Director Zhao said, feeling a little uneasy.

He didn't want to make any mistakes at this critical juncture. If anything went wrong, the responsibility would be all on him.

The handover of equipment this time is of great importance. If one device is missing, his position may be lost.

This is also the reason why Deputy Director Zhao set out so early. He was afraid that people from the other two factories would cause trouble.

Didn’t you see that Li Huaide and Deputy Director Yang didn’t want to get involved in this matter? Obviously, they didn’t want to get involved in this muddy water.

Only someone like Deputy Director Zhao, who is in a relatively marginal position, would be sent to deal with such matters.

In front, Ma Wenxuan and two security guards were walking forward. They saw a man blocking the middle of the road and looked at him vigilantly.

Ma Wenxuan held the gun with both hands, placed it near his trouser pocket, and bent his body slightly.

Ma Wenxuan shouted, "Hey! Comrade, what's wrong with you?" The man seemed very scared, and immediately raised his hands and answered in a trembling voice:

"Nothing!"

"Comrade, don't worry, we are not bad people. Is there anything you need help with?" Ma Wenxuan shouted again, his voice a little softer.

"Oh, I came out of the city and walked here. I saw you driving and wanted to ask if you have anything to eat?" the man asked in a trembling voice.

"Where are you from and where are you going?" Ma Wenxuan continued to ask.
"I came out of Baili Town and was going to Nanshan Village." the man replied.

"It's so late, comrade, why don't you take the bus to the village?" Ma Wenxuan asked.

"When I got to the bus stop, the bus had already left. I missed it, so I had to walk back!" the man explained.

"So that's how it is." Ma Wenxuan said.

Seeing this, the man let out a long sigh and patted his chest, obviously frightened.

The man looked at Ma Wenxuan in front of him, only to see Ma Wenxuan smiling and putting the pistol into the holster at his waist.

"Comrade, don't worry, everything is fine now." Ma Wenxuan comforted.

"You really scared me just now." The man was still frightened, "I thought I was robbed."

"is it?"

Ma Wenxuan suddenly launched an attack, grabbing the man's wrist and then kicking him to the ground with a side kick.

The man lost his balance in an instant and fell to the ground. Ma Wenxuan took this opportunity to pin him to the ground, while taking out a pistol and pointing it at the bushes on the side of the road.

"Who's there? Come out quickly!" Ma Wenxuan yelled.

The other security guards immediately raised their pistols and pointed them at the bushes.

Seeing this, the other security guards immediately raised their pistols and pointed them at the bushes, ready to shoot at any time.

Seeing this, the two security guards following behind Ma Wenxuan immediately stepped forward and stood on both sides of Ma Wenxuan, pointing their pistols at the bushes.

"Comrade, what are you doing!" The man suddenly struggled.

Ma Wenxuan said coldly: "Don't move! Call your accomplices out immediately!"

"What accomplice? I'm not! I'm just looking for something to eat. There's no need to do this to you." The man struggled to explain.

"Don't be wishful thinking. It's late at night and they're blocking the middle of the road. There's no one else but the robbers." Ma Wenxuan said disdainfully.

"Hey, you in the bushes, don't hide, come out quickly, or we'll shoot. Our security guard just retired from the top, and his shooting skills are very accurate!"

Other security guards also started shouting, trying to get the person in the bushes to come out.

Seeing that there was still no movement in the grass, Ma Wenxuan knew that they would not give up until they reached the Yellow River!

"Beng Beng!"

Two gunshots pierced the night sky, breaking branches and debris everywhere!

"Let's come out, let's come out!" There was a sudden panic sound in the grass.

I saw four people raising their hands and walking out one after another.

Then, four people came out one by one with their hands raised.

"Don't hit us, don't hit us!" the four shouted in horror.

Their faces were full of fear and anxiety, and they were obviously frightened by this sudden situation.

Seeing the four people coming out, the security guards immediately became alert.

Ma Wenxuan also kept an eye on the robber under his feet to prevent him from taking the opportunity to resist.

Ma Wenxuan suddenly put the gun to the man's forehead, making him dare not move.

Seeing this, the man stopped struggling and no longer had any wishful thinking!
Looking at the four people coming out, the first two security guards of the convoy immediately approached Ma Wenxuan.

With five people in front, the other security guards immediately changed their positions and kept an eye on the surrounding bushes to prevent other robbers from appearing.

Seeing that the situation was clear, Gu Shengli led the two masters out of the car and took the rope. At Ma Wenxuan's nod, Gu Shengli tied the hands of the robber under his feet.

Seeing that the situation was clear, Gu Shengli took the two masters out of the car and took the rope.

At Ma Wenxuan's nod, Gu Shengli tied the hands of the robber under his feet.

The two masters simply threw the rope to the four people from a distance and did not get close to avoid any accidents.

"Tie up your accomplices yourselves. If you fail to do it properly, the guns in our hands are blind." Ma Wenxuan threatened viciously.

Seeing eight pistols pointed at them, the four robbers trembled in fear and dared not resist at all.

The four robbers were obviously frightened. They looked at each other and then started to tie themselves up.

Due to lack of experience, they tied it in a mess.

The last person left could only tie his own hands.

"You two go and tie it up tightly, and be careful!" Ma Wenxuan signaled to the security guards on both sides.

They took the extra ropes and expertly tied up the robbers tightly, ensuring that they could not move.

At this point, the situation was temporarily under control.

Wang Zhi, who was standing under Ma Wenxuan's feet, was shocked. He realized that he and his accomplices had become prisoners.

He was somewhat unwilling to accept the fact, not understanding why his "carefully" planned action, which had always worked, had failed this time.

"How do you know we are robbers?" Wang Zhi asked unwillingly.

"As expected!" Ma Wenxuan said with a smile.

"You!" Wang Zhi instantly realized that Ma Wenxuan was cheating them.

"Hey, kid, don't be unconvinced." Ma Wenxuan smiled proudly.

"I knew you were not a good person the first time I saw you!"

Wang Zhi widened his eyes and said unwillingly: "Why do you say that?"

"You only have these tricks. You'll be exposed after just a few questions. And you still dare to become a robber!" Ma Wenxuan mocked unceremoniously.

Wang Zhi was a little angry and asked, "How did you know that?"

"I asked you where you were going, how did you get back?"

"I said I was leaving Lily Town and heading to Nanshan Village."

"That sounds fine, but you used the wrong word."

"What word?"

"Go to Nanshan Village! You used the wrong word to go!"

"What's wrong with that?"

"What's wrong? It's a big mistake. They are all going back to the village. Go back to the village! Why are you going to the village? Who else can you suspect?"

"That's it? I don't believe it!" Wang Zhi still said stubbornly.

"Yeah, I wasn't sure at first." Ma Wenxuan admitted frankly.

"So I talked to you and tested you. When you chatted with me instead of scolding me, I became even more certain that you were not a good person."

"What? How is this possible!" Wang Zhi exclaimed.

"Haha, yes, that's it!" Ma Wenxuan affirmed.

"You dare to chat with us instead of cursing, which means you have something to hide!"

"In the past, those bad guys who were pointed at by us with guns would raise their hands and surrender immediately."

"I'm not a bad guy. If you didn't do anything bad and we pointed a gun at you, you would definitely curse at us."

"At worst, we have to ask for an explanation no matter what. It's impossible for us to have a calm conversation."

"That's it?" Wang Zhi said in disbelief.

"Yes, that's it!" Ma Wenxuan affirmed.

"Tell me, how long have you been doing this and what bad things have you done!" Ma Wenxuan kicked Wang Zhi.

"Damn it, I'm in trouble this time!" Wang Zhi cursed.

This was their third robbery, and in the past they usually targeted one or two drivers.

But this time things were different, because they were short of money and had been out for too long, they wanted to make a big splash.

When they saw a convoy of goods, they decided to take a risk and seek wealth and fame.

However, they could not accept such overwhelming wealth.

"I don't know what you were thinking. There are so many of us, but you still dare to shoot. Are you crazy?" Ma Wenxuan looked at the five people who looked like idiots.

Wang Zhi and five other people are villagers of Nanshan Village. However, they look down on the meager income brought by farming and are eager to get rich faster.

Fortunately, they did not kill five drivers, but only took away their property.

Wang Zhi and his friends' fathers were either the village chief or secretary of Nantou Village, or the team leader of the production team.

They had an identity, and under their deliberate protection, Wang Zhi and his four companions had never been found.

"Deputy Director Zhao, what do you think we should do about this?" Ma Wenxuan asked.

Deputy Director Zhao pondered for a moment. If it weren't for Wang Zhi's incident, they could still move forward.

However, letting them go is clearly against the law, and besides, these security guards are retired from higher-ups.

"Let's take them all into the car and send them to the police station in town!" Deputy Director Zhao said decisively.

Originally he had planned to travel overnight, but now the situation had changed and the nervous crowd could no longer move forward.

"Don't move, get in the car and stay there. If you dare to do anything wrong, we won't be polite!" Deputy Director Zhao threatened.

"Send them to the carriage and let the security guard watch them." Deputy Director Zhao added.

He didn't want them to enter the carriage for fear that they might damage the equipment.

Although the equipment was protected by a wooden box, he didn't want to take any chances even if there was a tiny possibility.

He didn't want to take the risk of letting them into the cab, as if they started to act recklessly, there could be serious consequences.

By comparison, leaving them on the carriage seemed a better option.

If the occasion was not inappropriate, Deputy Director Zhao would have wanted to drag them away and ask in a hurry.

Ma Wenxuan nodded, and immediately asked everyone to send these people to the carriage and let the security guards look after them.

"Okay, let's go. Let's rest in the town and leave again tomorrow morning!" Deputy Director Zhao gave the order.
