"Based on the evidence we have so far, your son will not be able to escape the charge of embezzling collective assets?

Are you aware of your son's theft of collective assets, and did you profit from it?

Liu Zhen's face darkened, and the offensive and defensive positions changed.

On the way to the factory, Liu Zhen still felt a little uneasy. After all, they were going to report to the police. If it weren't for Deputy Director Li's instructions, he really didn't want to get involved in this mess.

Things are different now. I have found evidence that Zhang Xuguang embezzled collective assets. The advantage is in my hands, and Liu Zhen instantly became proud.

"No, absolutely not. The leader is very clear-sighted. I know nothing about it!

Not to mention making a profit, I have to subsidize him every month. If you don’t believe me, you can go to our village and ask.

"We have a worker in the family who doesn't get any money from us, and yet we have to pay for it every month. We have become a laughing stock in the village."

Bai Yanniang hurriedly explained, almost swearing.

At heart, Bai Yanniang and Zhang Xiangdong are extremely selfish people. They can take advantage of others but cannot suffer any loss. Otherwise, they would not have been in a hurry to draw a clear line with the old house.

Now Bai Yanniang doesn't ask to find her son, she just asks him not to implicate her.

"I will investigate whether this matter has anything to do with you, and I will also investigate where your son went. Now you should go home first. I will notify the family when I have any news."

Liu Zhen also knew that Zhang Xuguang's family was probably unaware of the fact that he had stolen waste materials, otherwise she would not have dared to go to the factory to look for Zhang Shuguang.

"Okay, thank you for troubling me, boss. I'll go back first if you don't have anything to do."

Seeing the pistol on Liu Zhen's waist, Bai Yanniang didn't dare to disagree at all. She walked out of the slum in an orderly manner, but she was still worried on the way home.

In the machinery factory, Zhang Shuguang had been paying attention to the situation outside until he saw the security department running in and out, looking busy. His intuition told him that Zhang Xuguang's disappearance must have been known.

Riding on a tricycle, Zhang Shuguang slowly walked to the gate of the machinery factory.

"Master Huang, what is the security department busy with?"

At the gate, Zhang Shuguang handed Master Huang a cigarette.

"Comrade Xiao Zhang is quite good! He still smokes Zhonghua cigarettes."

Huang Caiwang put the cigarette under his nose, smelled it, and then clamped it against his ear.

"I don't usually smoke, I only offer one to the leader of the hunting team when I see him.

Normally, I wouldn't be willing to buy this cigarette! I'm just trying to make myself look fat in order to buy more meat."

"Comrade Xiao Zhang, there's a temporary worker named Zhang Xuguang in Workshop 2 who hasn't been home for several days. His mother came to the factory today.

I went to the second workshop to help call someone, and Director Qian said that he hadn't come to work for three days and had automatically resigned.

The security guard, Lao Huang, is also a talkative person. The security department did not ask for confidentiality regarding Zhang Xuguang's matter. When someone asked, Lao Huang told the story.

"Really? I don't know what this guy is thinking. Our factory is the largest in the county, and there are so many people who want to come in.

Even though he's just a temporary worker, if he works hard, he'll have a chance to become a regular employee. If he says he doesn't want to do it, then he won't do it!

It's totally wrong to quit your job and not go home, making your family anxious."

Zhang Shuguang looked confused.

"I'm not going to argue with you if you say that. Apart from working in the government, there's no other place better than our factory.

He doesn't value this temporary job; there are plenty of people vying for it."

As soon as Zhang Shuguang praised the machinery factory, Huang Caiwang, as an old worker of the machinery factory, felt a sense of pride and looked at Zhang Shuguang more favorably.

"Comrade Xiao Zhang, the comrades from the security department just came back with stolen goods. They said they found them at Zhang Xuguang's rental house.

"Embezzlement of collective assets is a serious crime. Where can he run to? Once he's found, he'll be in trouble."

Old Huang leaned over and whispered in Zhang Shuguang's ear.

"Is there such a thing? Such a bad guy must not be let off easily."

The security guard was indeed the best-informed person in the factory. Zhang Shuguang got the information he wanted and finally felt relieved.

Whether Zhang Xuguang fled for fear of punishment or was robbed by fraud when selling stolen goods, he will never be found again.

"Master Huang, please go ahead and do your work. I'll go follow the hunting team and try to improve the food for our comrades."

After saying goodbye to Huang Caiwang, Zhang Shuguang rode his tricycle straight to Dongfeng County Department Store.

When we arrived at the hardware area, we saw iron pots of various sizes placed on the shelves.

"Comrade, give me a 10-print iron pot and another 8-print iron pot."

Zhang Shuguang has five industrial tickets in his hand and plans to use them all at once.

"Take out your work ID and register it. A large iron pot with 10 stamps has three industrial invoices, which is 20 yuan. A large iron pot with 8 stamps has two industrial invoices, which is 16 yuan."

The salesperson glanced at Zhang Shuguang. She had been working in the department store for quite some time, and it was rare for her to see someone buy a pot like this.

Ironware is a controlled material and needs to be registered no matter who buys it.

"Comrade, this is my work ID. My brother is getting married and living separately, so we need to buy a new set of pots and pans."

Zhang Shuguang took out his work ID and four White Rabbit snacks and placed them on the counter.

"Little comrade, I can't have the White Rabbit candy. It's very expensive."

The salesperson refused but stared at the White Rabbit candy without blinking.

"Sister, my brother is getting married, this is considered wedding candy, you can also share in the good fortune."

Zhang Shuguang found an excuse for the saleswoman.

"Thank you, young comrade. I wish your brother a happy wedding. Take your work ID and I'll issue you a ticket right away."
