Rebirth: Let's Talk About 1984

According to reports, this story begins at an entirely unscientific moment: Zhou Ziye, a designer who rose from creating counterfeit mobile phones, suddenly time-traveled back to the year 1984.

Chapter 211 Safe Return Home

Being woken up early by a phone call is annoying for anyone. Xing Baohua hadn't had a good rest for three or four days in a row; even a strong body can't withstand such strain!

I finally finished the exciting stuff and was looking forward to a good rest, but before I could even get a few hours of sleep, I was woken up by a phone call.

Hello!

"Boss,"

"Something's happened! Our factory's security guard has died unexpectedly?" the factory manager said urgently on the phone.

Xing Baohua immediately became more sober and thought to himself: Could it have been done by my two partners? Regardless of who did it, I have to get them away as soon as possible.

No, arrange a flight and send him away immediately.

It takes about four hours to get from Kanagawa to JD.

Xing Baohua quickly called the JD.com Hong Kong team and asked them to buy two plane tickets for a flight six hours later, anywhere in China, as long as they were available, even if it was in Hong Kong.

They went to the two-person room and knocked on the door again.

He woke up Niu Jishan and Xu Shuai, not bothering to blame them for what they did, and told them to leave quickly.

"What's the matter that made you leave in such a hurry?" Xu Shuai asked, yawning.

"The gatekeeper is dead." Xing Baohua shouted anxiously when he saw the two of them still dawdling.

The two men exchanged a glance, as if asking each other, "Did you do this?"

Then he looked at Xing Baohua and shook his head, saying, "I didn't do it."

"Whether you did it or not, you have to leave now! Go straight to the airport. I'll have someone waiting for you there. After you leave, I'll go to the factory to check on the situation."

Seeing Xing Baohua's serious expression, the two dared not delay and quickly packed their things, then took a taxi to JD International Airport.

Xing Baohua drove the rented car to the processing plant.

I saw several police cars at the factory gate, with the Metropolitan Police Department written on them.

The guardhouse was also cordoned off. Xing Baohua parked his car on the side and walked over.

At this moment, the factory manager was anxiously waiting for Xing Baohua to arrive at the door. Upon seeing Xing Baohua, he hurriedly went to greet him, first bowing slightly and saying, "Chairman!"

What's going on here?

"It might have been an accident."

Police have not found any signs of homicide.

"So you're saying it's due to an underlying medical condition?"

"It's possible, but during the investigation, the police found several unidentified footprints near the wall. Therefore, the cause of the security guard's death is still under further investigation," the factory manager said.

These words startled Xing Baohua. Pretending to be calm, she said:

"First, reassure the families. As the factory manager, you must take responsibility. Don't let the workers' families have any complaints about the factory."

"Hi!"

A police official approached Xing Baohua and his companion and said, "After the forensic examination at the scene by the security office, no signs of homicide were found. However, judging from their facial expressions, they appeared to have suffered before death, which resembled a sudden onset of angina. An autopsy is needed to determine the cause."

The factory manager helped Xing Baohua say a word of thanks to the police officer in charge.

Shortly after, the deceased's family arrived.

A middle-aged woman, accompanied by a man and a woman, walked over, crying.

The boy and girl both appeared to be quite young, around teens.

Police questioned the deceased's family about any medical history the deceased had.

The woman's family said that she had seen a doctor the day before, had a history of heart disease, and also had trouble sleeping.

After the factory manager translated, Xing Baohua understood that the gatekeeper's death might be a coincidence.

Perhaps smoking Niu Jishan's laced cigarettes triggered his heart disease.

Cigarette butt?

Make sure the police don't find it.

I didn't pay attention to these details at the time; who knew that sleeping pills could trigger heart disease? Besides, a small packet only contains a dozen or so pills.

Holy crap!

I hope Niu Jishan didn't end up in jail. Besides, one cigarette wouldn't be enough to hold it all! If he put in too much, the cocaine would see it!

What kind of operating techniques are these?!

Regardless of the circumstances, Niu Jishan indirectly caused the person's death.

Now we'll see the forensic autopsy report.

As for the footprints left by those who climbed over the wall

The police also took photos.

Xing Baohua instructed the factory manager to increase security personnel and find some young people, instead of just hiring an old man to guard the gate like the Chinese government did.

The factory is different from before. Look, the newly introduced equipment is worth more than ten million US dollars. We need to take good care of it.

The factory first set aside a sum of money as compensation for the family members, and even sent several people to help with the funeral arrangements.

After settling things at the factory, Xing Baohua returned to the hotel and began working on the data.

Carrying a hard drive and an oversized portable hard drive like this makes it difficult to get through customs. If I get checked, there will be too many troubles.

Modify it! Buy a game console.

Remove the motherboard and replace it with an external hard drive.

But where do you put a 10MB hard drive?

This is a bit of a headache.

Seeing a laptop with a floppy drive slot, I thought of it being disguised as a floppy drive.

So I disassembled the laptop, and after more than a day of modifications, it was finally finished.

Back at the factory, I needed to arrange some work, which basically meant informing the factory managers that I would be going to JD.com and Hong Kong for the next period of time.

Once the parts are produced, they can be shipped to the United States. There will be a continuous stream of orders, and production will continue according to the specifications in the drawings.

The factory manager also reported to Xing Baohua that the police had just informed them that the security guard's death was an accident.

The security guard had a heart condition and often suffered from sleep deprivation. He had just received some sleeping pills or similar medications from a clinic before his death.

The autopsy revealed that the dosage of sleeping pills was quite high; without heart disease, that amount would not have caused death.

In conclusion, the deceased died from a sudden heart attack caused by taking more than the normal amount of sleeping pills.
