Chapter 99 Looking for Someone

Chen Ling's brows were furrowed more and more.

It was okay if the raw materials of one steel plant were taken away, but if the raw materials of all the factories in the factory area were taken away like this, then the problem would be serious... The factory is the heart of the seven districts, and Aurora City drained their blood. What does that mean?

Chen Ling's heart gradually sank. Although he didn't know what happened specifically, it was obvious... Aurora City was targeting the seven districts.

"I know." Chen Ling said immediately, "I will contact Aurora City to see what's going on."

Meng Shi nodded, and Chen Ling asked again:

"Then you don't care about the wages of these workers?"

Meng Shi opened his mouth, but finally smiled helplessly, "Chief Chen... We have nothing left in our factory, and the little cash on the books is not enough to pay off their wages."

"Not enough?" Chen Ling looked at his face, "How much?"

"At most one tenth... And this is the money used to maintain the machine. If this money is paid back, the machine will be broken down after too long without maintenance, and the loss will be heavy."

Chen Ling did not respond, he still looked into Meng Shi's eyes calmly, as if he wanted to see through him completely.

Seeing this, Meng Shi felt a little scared, and at this moment, Chen Ling slowly spoke.

"You're lying."

"...What?"

"I'll give you another chance."

Chen Ling reached into his arms with one hand, and the next moment, the muzzle of the black gun was against Meng Shi's forehead. His voice was extremely cold, "I'll ask you again, how much money is on the books enough to pay back?"

This scene scared the others. They didn't understand why Chen Ling suddenly pulled out a gun when they were chatting peacefully, but the other party was the law enforcement officer of District 3. They were afraid and cowardly. Even if their leader was pointed at the muzzle of the gun, they didn't dare to take a step forward.

And Meng Shi was so scared that his soul almost died. His face was pale and his legs began to tremble.

Chen Ling would naturally not embarrass Meng Shi suddenly. The reason why he did this was because of the extreme detail observation ability of [Secret Eye], which allowed him to see at a glance that Meng Shi was lying.

"Enough...enough half." Meng Shi said hurriedly, "When the factory director left, there was really not much cash on the books. At most, we could only pay them five or six days' salary."

Chen Ling stared at Meng Shi for a moment, and after seeing no trace of lying in his micro-expression, he slowly said: "Then pay the money first."

Unable to solve the job and pay the salary, how could these workers outside give up?

Facts have proved that the identity of law enforcement officer is very useful in District 3. After all, Chen Ling has absolute law enforcement power. As long as he wants, even if he just shot Meng Shi, there will not be too much punishment.

Meng Shi, who escaped from death, did not dare to neglect it. He hurriedly took out the last cash from the safe and took his men to give it to the workers gathered at the door.

Chen Ling walked to one of the large machines and lifted a corner of the plastic cloth covering it, revealing the cold.

Chen Ling looked at the faint water stains on his fingertips, and doubts flashed in his eyes.

Just then, a noise came from the door.

Seeing this, Chen Ling walked straight to the door, and saw that the people who had been blocking the iron gate had now surrounded Meng Shi and others who went out to distribute money, and the crowd was in high spirits.

"What do we need this little money for?"

"Yes, without a job, this money is only enough to live for a few days... We want to go back to work!"

"..."

A small number of people took the money, and their faces were obviously better than at the beginning, but the other part was still unwilling. One is a salary that can only be used for a few days, and the other is a job that can continuously support the family. No matter how you think about it, the latter is more important.

Meng Shi was sweating profusely. He wanted to go back and close the door, but seeing Chen Ling's cold eyes in the factory, he still tried to persuade her:

"The factory really has no raw materials now. Even if you make trouble here, you can't resume work... I will contact Aurora City. Once the raw materials are in place, I will definitely let you come back to resume work as soon as possible..."

"When can we resume work?"

"This... should be in the next two days?"

Hearing this, everyone's expression finally eased a little. They counted the coins in their hands, looked at each other, and turned around to walk towards the street.

Zhao Yi was about to leave with the flag, but turned back and added viciously:

"We will come again tomorrow."

Seeing that the group of people finally left, Meng Shi sighed. He looked at Chen Ling who walked out of the factory bitterly, and he was about to say something.

"I will go to negotiate with Aurora City." Chen Ling took the initiative to speak, "You guard the factory and be ready to resume work at any time."

After saying this, he walked out of the steel plant and walked towards several large factories around...

In the mist, Meng Shi stood at the gate of the steel plant, and the surroundings fell into a dead silence.

"Alas..."

"Brother Meng, what should we do now?"

Meng Shi frowned, he looked at the backs of the people going away, gritted his teeth and said, "What can we do, we can't stay here anymore, let's go."

"What about the factory?"

"Who cares? The factory director has abandoned us and ran away. How can this factory still be open?" Meng Shi hurried into the factory. "Fortunately, there are still some valuables. It shouldn't be a problem to exchange for a ticket..." As he spoke, he searched in the factory director's office. At this moment, a dull knocking sound came from the workshop.

Dong Dong Dong --

"Who is it? What are you knocking for?"

Dong Dong Dong --

Meng Shi, who was busy searching, showed anger on his face and looked up at the window.

Through the glass, he could see that there was no one in the dim workshop. The few followers who had followed him were also missing at this moment.

Meng Shi's eyes flashed with doubt. He stood up slowly and was about to open the door when a cold voice like the friction of steel came from outside the door:

"I'm here... to find someone..."

"I've already said that the factory director has entered Aurora City. Is it fun for you to keep pestering him here?" When Meng Shi heard this, he immediately thought of the group who wanted to resume work just now, and he was suddenly a little overwhelmed.

"I'm here... to find someone..." The voice sounded again, and it seemed to be getting closer and closer to him.

"Fuck!" Meng Shi finally couldn't hold back the anger that he had suppressed in his heart. He walked to the door and pulled it open. "Are you done yet? Who are you looking for..."

Meng Shi's voice stopped abruptly.

Outside the office door, a black, faceless shadow was standing there, like a centipede standing upright, with countless slender claws spread out to both sides. At the position of its mouth, a dark red blood hole was slowly wriggling...

And the voice came out hoarsely from the blood hole.

"The scarlet master of the abyss who mocks ghosts;"

"The faceless king who mocks fate."
