When Gu Hanping arrived at the brigade headquarters, he could still hear some noise.

"How is it?" Gu Hanping asked.

Quan Botao shook his head: "They're all quite stubborn, none of them have said a word. But we caught them red-handed, so we'll hand them over to the police. They'll have no choice but to talk."

Gu Hanping nodded and explained his plan: "I've already asked Changbai to report to the police at the commune. When the police arrive, we'll hand the person over. After that, we'll go check the sugar workshop; we still need to catch up on our work."

Quan Botao knew that Gu Hanping was making an explanation.

Who sent Gu Hanping's daughter-in-law's brother to steal things from the sugar workshop last night?

Gu Hanping wanted to show that this matter had nothing to do with him.

Cao Ding was not brought here by him.

And last night, Gu Hanping led his men to catch them in the act.

The messenger was again Gu Yunyang's two dogs.

Hei Zi and Hei Mei also made contributions during the operation.

Therefore, they had nothing to criticize Gu Hanping for.

Gu Hanping said this to make his stance clear.

He was first and foremost the captain of the Red Flag Brigade, and only then was he Cao Ying's father-in-law.

Besides, what does what the Cao family did have to do with Gu Hanping?

Not long after, Gu Changbai went to the commune and brought the police with him.

The instructor personally led the group here today.

Because Director Xing Kai went on a business trip to the capital, and there have been many things going on at the commune recently.

The instructor was originally in charge of logistics and ideology, but now he also has to go out on missions.

Gu Hanping went up and explained the situation: "That's how it is, officers. You must investigate this thoroughly. We still have to work on the farm afterwards."

The instructors naturally agreed.

They've been caught red-handed; there's no way they can deny it now.

However, they were clever enough not to admit they were there to steal the recipe.

They only said they came to steal some candy.

But several hundred kilograms of sugar is enough for them to drink a whole pot.

It just so happens that there was a crackdown during this period, so the outcome probably won't be good.

After the people were taken away, the sugar workshop was also inspected.

Gu Hanping quickly arranged for people to clean up the mess, and then prepared to arrange for more people to start production.

Fortunately, the men Cao Ding brought last night caused some damage, but the materials that were being produced were not damaged.

Gu Hanping looked at accountant Chen Qijue and asked, "How is it? How damaged are the finished products?"

Chen Qijue sighed and said, "More than sixty jin of them have problems. They're either tattered beyond recognition or covered in dust."

There's nothing we can do about their packaging; if we handle it carefully, there shouldn't be any problems.

But those people yesterday didn't know what caution was.

Especially when you're cornered and trying to escape, who cares about whether you'll get smashed?

However, they were also very greedy, feeling that they couldn't leave empty-handed after coming all this way.

So they absolutely refused to give up these maltose candies.

So that's the result.

Gu Hanping sighed, "Greed.

Although they complained, they still had to do what needed to be done.

Gu Hanping said, "How about this, let's work overtime and make a little more."

Even if there is still some shortage, it shouldn't be much. Let's talk to the city supply and marketing cooperative first.

This is also an unavoidable factor, and we'll make up for it double when the time comes.

If that doesn't work, we can follow the contract and offer compensation as a partial payment.

The others had no better ideas, so they had no choice but to follow Gu Hanping's instructions.

Once these matters were resolved, Gu Hanping hurried to the fields to arrange for everyone to get to work.

Back at the brigade headquarters, Chen Qijue asked, "How is the brigade leader going to deal with the broken candies and the ones covered in dust?"
