"You are so bold that you dare to bypass Pan Minghui and ask me for something." Song Yue stared at the factory owner for a while, then raised the corner of his mouth and said slowly.

When the factory owner heard this, his heart skipped a beat and his legs went limp: "Boss Song, no, I don't dare... I don't have the courage..."

"Then don't let me hear these words again."

Song Yue glanced at him disdainfully, turned around, and stepped into the driver's cab, leaving the other person with only an indifferent back.

The vehicle started, and the factory owner watched tremblingly as the people and the car left. When Song Yue was completely out of sight, his true colors were revealed, and a fierce look appeared in his eyes: "Bah, not only did you take advantage of my factory for free, but you also didn't give me the goods. I have over thirty mouths under me. This is really too much!"

The factory owner was followed by a male assistant. He rolled his eyes at the sound of the voice and said, "Boss Zhong, do you want to become Pan Minghui's supervisor?"

Zhong Yu was surprised for a moment, staring at his assistant who had been with him for many years: "You also think it's time to take action, right?"

The male assistant nodded. "Yes, Boss Zhong, the opportunity is right in front of you."

As he spoke, he raised his chin forward, indicating the direction Song Yue drove away.

Zhong Yu certainly understood what his assistant meant. Since the woman surnamed Song was Pan Minghui's superior, if he got rid of her, he could replace her and become Pan Minghui's manager.

This is how it is in their line of work. Whoever has the ability gets the position. As for those who are eliminated, the boss doesn't care about their life or death at all.

A murder plan emerged in Zhong Yu's mind. He raised his hand, and his assistant immediately drove out a car that had also been strengthened.

There were also three brothers in the car, each of whom had followed Zhong Yu for many years.

The black car took to the road and followed the trail left by Song Yue's vehicle.

Acid rain began to fall, and two workers at the candy factory saw this and complained as usual.

"It's raining again. What a nuisance."

"Damn this acid rain! When will the higher authorities do something about it? It seems to be getting worse every year."

"I had a clothesline hanging on the balcony, and guess what? It broke on its own after being exposed to the rain for three or four days! Luckily I found it in time, otherwise it would have fallen down and smashed someone's head."

"Wow, you're still hanging clothes outside? I've already sealed off the balcony, so I can only hang clothes inside. Otherwise, the clothes will get damaged as they hang out, and I don't have the money to buy new ones."

"Oh, there's nothing I can do. This damn city is just this shabby state."

The two chatted while stirring the semi-fluid liquid in the large iron can.

This is the syrup used to make candy. It requires hundreds of rounds of stirring by machines and by hand to mix the ingredients evenly. They do this kind of work every day and are already familiar with it.

However, precisely because of his over-familiarity, one of the workers suddenly noticed something strange in the jar.

"Wait, do you think the color is wrong?" He stared at the slightly turbid liquid and became concerned.

The colleague who was stirring it groaned and said he was making a fuss: "It was already this color when I first started stirring it. Just add more water and stir it a few more times and it will be fine."

As he said this, he unscrewed the water hose and let in some filtered drinking water.

But who would have thought that the drinking water that came in would be even more turbid, yellowish-brown in color, and accompanied by a sour and smelly burnt smell.

“There’s something wrong with this water!”

The person stirring the syrup finally realized what was going on and quickly stopped his colleague who was making the syrup next to him: "Stop adding water! There's something wrong with the water! Tell Mr. Li! Hurry!"

The candy factory must produce a certain amount of candy every day before all workers can go home.

If the assembly line is stopped due to various accidents, all workers will have to work overtime to catch up with the delayed work.

No one wanted to delay leaving get off work, so when they heard that there was a problem with the injected water, someone immediately ran to the office to report to Mr. Li, the general manager of the candy factory.

However, the person reporting had just run a few steps when suddenly, a female worker next to the iron can screamed.

"Ah! My legs!!"

At some point, a hole appeared in the tin can, and boiling syrup flowed out, landing right on the female worker's thigh.

The female worker felt pain and quickly lifted her injured leg, switching from two legs to one leg. Her center of gravity suddenly became unstable. She swayed her body, trying to find her balance, but because of her anxiety, she lost her center of gravity.

With a thud, the female worker fell sideways to the ground, with half of her buttocks and both palms in contact with the boiling syrup on the ground.

All everyone heard was a clear crackling sound!

What followed was a heart-wrenching howl!

"My hand! Ahhh! Help, help!"

Seeing this, several workers nearby rushed forward and tried to pull her up from the ground.

But when they stepped into the syrup range, the same sizzling sound was heard again!

No! Their shoes!

The rescuers clearly felt the soles of their shoes melting, and were so frightened that they retracted their feet and dared not move forward.

"No, save me!" Seeing that no one dared to save her, the female worker looked at everyone in panic and helplessness, "This is just syrup! It's not poison! How can you be so cold and selfish!"

But as soon as she finished speaking, as if deliberately going against her, the semi-fluid that she described as "just syrup" continued to erode her bones and flesh like sulfuric acid.

There was more and more thick blood on the ground, and the female worker screamed more and more miserably because of the pain. She wanted to hold herself up by her own strength.

Yet with every struggle she made, the syrup that flowed out engulfed more of her.

In less than three minutes, the workers were shocked to see that the female worker's body had completely melted in the syrup!

Apart from a work suit, which was enough to prove that a living person had once stood there, how else could one see any trace of a living person?!

"This... this is not syrup! This is sulfuric acid!" Someone shouted, instantly waking up all the workers.

Yes! How could this semi-fluid that can corrode bones completely be syrup?

"It must be the acid rain outside! It wasn't handled properly, and it flowed in through the water pipes!" someone shouted, "Get away from the tin cans! Acid rain will corrode them!"

Unfortunately, it was too late.

As the female worker was being corroded, holes began to appear on several iron cans on the production line.

A turbid, yellowish-brown semi-fluid flowed out of the cave, making crackling sounds and raising thick smoke wherever it went.

A young man accidentally inhaled the gas and was instantly choked and unable to breathe. He pinched his neck and coughed hard, but the more he coughed, the more corrosive gas he inhaled!

After a while, he screamed and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Another fatter uncle accidentally touched the tin can when he turned around. The high temperature burned him so much that he jumped up on the spot. As a result, this jump made his feet slip when he landed, and his whole body rolled to the side of the tin can like a roller.

The boiling semi-fluid was like magma, melting him into blood in an instant!

"We can't stay in the factory anymore, everyone, run!"

When the workers saw two people died in a row, they rushed out like crazy!

But the next second, I saw the factory gate slowly closing!!!

“No, don’t close the door!” The young man who rushed to the door first shouted in fear, pounding on the metal door as he shouted, “Who closed it?! Are you blind? Open it quickly!”

He turned around angrily and was about to curse the ungrateful guy, but his eyes suddenly met Li Jinkai in the corridor on the second floor.

"Mr. Li!" The young man stared at the other person in shock, wanting to ask him why he closed the door.

The others also turned their heads and stared in surprise at the middle-aged man who was dressed exceptionally well.

"Boss Li, someone died in the factory! We can't stay here anymore!"

"Mr. Li, please open the door quickly! Acid rain is coming in. It's very dangerous inside the factory!"

The workers stood near the metal gate, shouting at each other.

They thought Li Jinkai would press the remote control, so they all waited anxiously. However, the door didn't open. Instead, a thick roller shutter fell down, completely blocking their escape route!

What the hell is this?! Are they going to let them die here?

"You crazy bastard! Why are you doing this?! We work for you year-round, why are you doing this to us?!"

"Why the hell are you locking us up? Open the door for me! I want to go home!"

"If you don't open it, I'll kill you now!"

The workers were furious and vented their emotions wildly.

There were only two workers, a man and a woman, who remained silent throughout the entire process.

Although they were afraid, they tried their best to keep their presence low from beginning to end.

"What should we do, Old Song? We can't get out." The woman looked around the factory and found that except for a skylight on the top, there was no other exit in the entire factory.

The man called Lao Song frowned and lowered his voice: "It's okay, there must be a way. Don't panic, especially at a time like this, the more you can't panic..."

The woman nodded, then looked at Li Jinkai on the second floor with calm eyes.

Li Jinkai, smoking a cigar, glanced at the workers below with an unhappy look on his face. "Still want to kill me? Come on, come up if you have the guts, and see who's faster, your mouth or my gun."

After saying that, he took out his pistol with one hand and fired a shot upwards!

The noisy crowd quieted down.

Li Jinkai scoffed at this and said, "If we don't reach the candy production target today, no one will be allowed to go home!"

The workers were instantly despairing.

Acid rain is flowing into the factory! Two people have died! How can they still make candy!!!

Isn't this going to cost them their lives? ! !

But facing the bullets, none of them dared to say no.

Li Jinkai is the local boss here. He can kill anyone at will and no one cares.

And if they die, what will happen to the elderly and children at home?

The workers held back their tears and were forced to return to their workstations, gritting their teeth and starting to work.

On the second floor, Li Jinkai quickly returned to the office after giving the order. He calculated the candy production that would be affected today, and his face turned as pale as the bottom of a pot.

No, we are required to deliver at least a certain amount every day, but now the iron cans are corroded and one of the production lines is broken, so we definitely cannot reach today's quantity.

What should I do? Should I inform my superiors? Just tell them that what's missing today will be made up tomorrow.

No, it's not possible.

Li Jinkai immediately rejected this idea. There was personnel turmoil in the organization. If he reported the truth, wouldn't it be like exposing his own wounds and giving others an opportunity to take advantage?

He had finally secured the position of director of the candy factory and gained some prestige in the circle. How could he ruin his own future with his own hands?

But if he doesn't pay it all, he's doomed! If the higher-ups find out, they'll definitely not let him off.

Li Jinkai racked his brains and finally made a difficult decision - run away!

If I am not welcome here, there are other places that will welcome me.

Once he has established himself in another city, he will definitely come back and take everything away!

There was a folding staircase outside the second-floor window. Li Jinkai climbed down it in a few steps, climbed out from the window, and quickly slipped away. As for those ants in the factory, they had nothing to do with him anymore.

The iron cans were still being corroded, and more and more acid rain mixed with syrup flowed onto the ground. Many workers were unable to dodge in time and had half of their arms, legs, or even half of their bodies melted off.

"Old Song, we can't just sit there and wait to die." The woman clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, "Break the door! No matter what, we have to get out of here!"

When Song Yue drove to the scene, he heard continuous banging sounds coming from inside the candy factory gate.

Guessing that something might have happened inside, she immediately entered the space, found an electric saw, plugged the wire into the socket in the space, and then came out with the electric saw.

The saw teeth spun rapidly, creating countless sparks on the metal door.

Soon she had sawed out a doorway half her height.

I thought the factory was behind the metal door, but I didn't know there was a rolling door in between.

She was about to continue when suddenly the rolling door loosened and the entire door curtain fell to the ground with a clatter.

Song Yue saw the original owner's parents, Song Hegang, known as Old Song, and Zhang Li, known as Sister Li.

The two of them somehow managed to break the rolling door. The three of them stared at each other in surprise.

Finally, Song Yue reacted first and shouted, "Come out quickly and get in the car with me!"

Song Hegang hurriedly crawled out of the hole that was half his height, followed by Zhang Li.

"Where did you get the car?!"

The two men looked at the heavily reinforced car parked at the factory gate, looked at each other, and were shocked again.

Song Yue stepped into the driver's seat: "Get in the car first, I'll explain later!"

Song Hegang and Zhang Li hurriedly got into the car and closed the door.

After the car drove for a distance, Song Hegang brought up the matter of the car again.

Song Yue gripped the steering wheel and said calmly, "Oh, I borrowed it from the jewelry store owner."

"Jewelry store?!" Song Hegang and Zhang Li both straightened up at the same time. "Are you referring to Pan Minghui?"

Song Yue was suspicious for a moment. How could the original owner's parents know the name of the jewelry store owner?

Unfortunately, the background information provided by the system was very vague. Apart from knowing that the two of them worked in a candy factory, she knew nothing else.

Out of caution, she didn't say much, just nodded: "I helped him catch a jewelry thief today, and as a thank you, I want this car."

"Oh, so that's it." The surprise on Song Hegang's face disappeared visibly, but then a more suspicious expression emerged.

Song Yue looked through the rearview mirror and noticed the fleeting glance.

There was still some time on the way back to the city, so Zhang Li started asking intermittently, "How did you know something happened at the candy factory?"

Song Yue thought for a moment and said, "I don't know. But I heard that there will be heavy acid rain today, so I want to drive you back."

Then he threw the question back: "By the way, what happened at the candy factory?"

She picked up the person purely to complete the task, and in fact had no idea what had happened at the candy factory.

Seeing her confused look, Zhang Li shook her head and sighed, then briefly explained the whole story to her.

After hearing this, Song Yue's heart was almost in turmoil!

It’s hard to imagine that if she had been a few steps later, would the original owner’s parents have died there?

Her thoughts were wandering when suddenly a black van appeared sideways in front of her!

Slam on the brakes! The reinforced tires leave a deep, sharp mark in the mud.

"Who?" Song Hegang and Zhang Li became alert.

Song Yue made a hushing gesture, pulled out his pistol, and silently held it in his left hand.

Ever since she took the [Beijing Pills], her physical skills have been greatly improved. She used to not be very good at using her left hand, but now when she holds a pistol, the feeling is surprisingly the same as with her right hand.

A familiar face walked out of the black van.

He is the owner of a materials factory.

Song Yue frowned and gently pressed the safety pin with his left hand.

Song Hegang and Zhang Li in the back row saw the scene clearly.

Neither of them spoke, but the look in their eyes said it all.

Zhang Li: This person is not Song Yue.

Song Hegang: Yes, I know. I felt it when they picked us up from the factory.

Zhang Li: So what's going on? The organization didn't say she was a twin.

Song Hegang: Don't expose yourself yet, stay calm. Observe for a while. If there's any problem, I'll take action and you can cover behind.

Zhang Li: Okay.
