He might even be able to marry a young, unmarried woman.

However, Cao Ding's appearance at this moment still made Gu Hanping very angry.

"Tie him up, ask him all the questions, and then go to the police station to report the case."

This matter cannot be left unresolved.

"Uncle..." Cao Ding finally realized what was happening and tried to speak, but someone covered his mouth with something.

Then he was tied up with ropes.

The others were also tied up.

Just as Gu Hanping and his group were planning to close the sugar workshop and take the maltose and other sugars back with them, they were about to leave.

I also need to check on the damage to the maltose; I'll be delivering it in a couple of days.

If too many items are damaged, there won't be enough for the next delivery.

Just as they turned around, someone in the sugar workshop behind them lost their footing and fell from the roof beam.

"ah!"

Gu Hanping turned around, his face extremely grim: "There's still someone hiding inside? Go in and search again. We absolutely cannot let anyone stay inside."

It's like having a mouse trapped in a sugar jar; it's disgusting.

A group of people opened the door and walked around inside with torches and flashlights.

Upon entering, one sees a man with a pointed mouth and monkey-like face who has fallen and is now lying on the ground groaning in pain.

Enraged, Gu Hanping ordered his men to tie the man up, disregarding the fact that he appeared to have a broken leg.

After circling around again, a militiaman came over and said, "The desks in the office have been ransacked. Some records have been pulled out and thrown on the floor. It's a mess."

Gu Hanping had actually seen it too, and he was even more furious.

"Don't clean up yet. Take the guy out and lock him up in the warehouse next to the brigade headquarters. Report the incident to the police station tomorrow and have the officers take a statement before we clean up. But we'll probably have to make a lot more candy tomorrow. I reckon a lot of the candy will be ruined."

Broken items definitely cannot be sent over.

Who would buy something that's crumbled into tiny pieces like maltose?

Once delivered, it can only be given to the supply and marketing cooperative as a defective product.

Simply sticking to the original price is definitely not an option.

I'm afraid even half price won't work.

The sales clerks in the supply and marketing cooperatives were quite willing to buy it for less money.

Children don't care if the maltose is broken or not; it's sweet to them, isn't it?

Gu Changbai also came over and saw his brother-in-law in the crowd. His face turned extremely ugly.

In an instant, Gu Changbai recalled Cao Ying's strange behavior earlier in the day.

He said that Cao Ding rarely came to the Hongqi Brigade, so why did he suddenly come today?

Cao Ding even wanted to keep his conversation with Cao Ying a secret from him.

Although they couldn't hide it from him, Cao Ding still whispered to Cao Ying without letting him know.

So you wanted to steal the candy?

Seeing this, Gu Yunyang knew that no one had missed anything, so he prepared to leave.

Before leaving, I heard Gu Hanping say, "Thanks to Yunyang, otherwise, our Red Flag Brigade would have suffered heavy losses today."

"Secretary Gu? What did he do?"

Gu Hanping pointed to the two black dogs on the ground and said, "Today, it was Heizi and Heimei who discovered that someone was stealing things from the sugar workshop. Heimei was keeping watch here, and Heizi went to my yard to call me."

I went and brought the militia over, and that's how we managed to corner the people at the sugar workshop. And even though it was chaotic and I couldn't see clearly, I did see Hei Zi and Hei Mei take action. Otherwise, if someone had escaped in the chaos, we wouldn't have known.”

Quan Botao, the militia captain, had also arrived. Upon hearing Gu Hanping's words, he exclaimed, "Our Secretary Gu really knows how to raise dogs. It hasn't been long, and Heizi and Heimei are already so well-raised. They're just as good as Fourth Grandfather's methods."

This is both a compliment and the truth.

However, Quan Botao's tone also betrayed a hint of resentment.

In particular, he knew that the militiamen were sleeping at the brigade headquarters.

"Alright, let's go back and interrogate them. Let's call the police tomorrow."
