Chapter 128 Extreme Escape
Will it really be so smooth?
The pebbles under my feet made a slight crunching sound.
Yu Chucheng, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and heard Lin Qi's whispered question in his ear, "What's wrong?"
Yu Chucheng stared ahead. The night sky was not very clear tonight. The moon was covered by dark clouds, making the already dark night even darker. The wall not far ahead cast a shadow, and in that shadow stood a man about 1.7 meters tall.
Yu Chucheng's palms were slightly sweaty as he held the phone. He stepped back and reached out to touch Lin Qi, "Someone's here, hurry up."
Lin Qi was about to turn around when the man hiding in the shadows suddenly turned on the flashlight and illuminated their faces.
The factory director's cheekbone muscles rose, and the corners of his mouth were pulled into a creepy angle.
"I knew there were rats in the factory tonight."
Fortunately, Yu Chucheng and Lin Qi both wore masks and hats, covering their faces tightly, so the factory director could not see their appearance.
Yu Chucheng clenched his fingers and suppressed the momentary panic in his heart. He measured the distance to the back door. If they just rushed out, the factory director alone would not be able to stop them.
But the factory director was no fool. He had already called for help. There were chaotic rustling sounds all around, and more than a dozen factory workers came out from their hiding places with weapons in their hands.
They were sleeping in the factory's staff dormitory not long ago. Although they had no grudges against the two men in front of them, their entire family depended on their jobs for survival. They dared not disobey the factory director's orders and could only ambush nearby with their weapons.
The factory director used a flashlight to scan Yu Chucheng's eyes and asked viciously, "Did the factory next door send you to steal the mixing meter again? Have the bones of the two people we caught last month been fixed? Why don't you learn your lesson?"
Yu Chucheng's eyes were stung by the strong light of the flashlight. The factory director mistakenly thought that they were thieves sent by the neighboring factory. From the factory director's tone, this kind of thing must have happened frequently in their factory, which made Yu Chucheng feel a little relieved.
He pushed Lin Qi and said, "Run!"
The road ahead was blocked, so they could only run into the park. The map of this factory was not complicated, and they only needed to go around to get to the back door.
"What are you still standing there for? The factory has kept you here for nothing!" the factory director shouted, "Whoever catches them first will be rewarded with 1,000 yuan!"
These workers, who were originally lifeless and lazy, suddenly became energized and rushed over with their weapons in hand.
Yu Chucheng said to Lin Qi as he ran, "A thousand yuan can buy them off? If I give them a thousand yuan each, will they stop chasing us?"
Lin Qi panted while looking at the map. "They can still tell the difference between a full meal and a full meal. With their education level, they probably can't find a better job than the one they have now."
With food and accommodation included, they can afford eight or nine thousand yuan a month. I guess even if Yu Chucheng gave them ten thousand yuan each, they would not be tempted.
The physical fitness of these factory workers was poor and they could not catch up with Yu Chucheng and Lin Qi at all, but they were more familiar with the terrain of the factory, and some of them had already taken a shortcut to intercept them.
Yu Chucheng ran faster than Lin Qi. There was a crossroad ahead. As long as he turned right at the fork, he would see the back door.
Yu Chucheng quickened his pace and just stuck half of his body out from the corner.
"Swish!" There was a man squatting behind the wall at the corner, and he swung a piece of plastic water pipe into the air.
Lin Qi's face suddenly changed, and he quickly pulled Yu Chucheng away, "Be careful!"
"Crack!" The water pipe hit Lin Qi's back and broke directly.
Yu Chucheng didn't suffer any scratches, but Lin Qi had a small cut on his face from the broken water pipe.
Seeing the worker holding the plastic water pipe bending down to pick up the bricks on the ground, Yu Chucheng went up and punched him without hesitation, kicking the brick aside.
"Are you okay?" Yu Chucheng turned to Lin Qi.
Lin Qi's chest rose and fell violently, "It's okay."
He was instructed by Yu Jingchen to protect Yu Chucheng no matter what happened.
But while they were delayed by this man, the people behind them caught up and surrounded them.
"Oh, should I break one of your legs or one of your arms today?" The factory director walked over slowly, admiring the alert looks of the two people in the encirclement. He stared at Yu Chucheng sinisterly, "Or blind one of your eyes."
Yu Chucheng touched his sleeve and found a sharp folding knife hidden there, close to his skin.
He didn't want to use it at first, as it would be a big deal if he used the knife. But now the factory director was not going to let them go, and it seemed that the only way to escape was to give it a try.
As the encirclement gradually narrowed, Yu Chucheng directly drew his knife.
The workers closest to him shrank back and didn't dare to move forward for a moment.
The factory manager pushed the man in the front hard and said, "What are you afraid of? The lives of all of you combined are not as important as the balance table! Where do you think all the money you get every month comes from? Anyone who doesn't come to work doesn't have to come to work tomorrow. I will fire him directly!"
These workers are all quite old, and they are like leaves in the wind, with their hands shaking violently as they hold the tools.
Yu Chucheng slowly released his pheromones, trying to suppress them briefly like he did in the bathroom. But most of the workers here were Beta, and his pheromones had no effect on them.
“Bang!”
At the critical moment, there was a loud noise from the back door, and the iron door was directly knocked open by a black car.
The black car flashed its high beams and rushed forward, forcing all the workers who were blocking the road to the side.
Lin Qi wiped the bloody wound on his face and said, "It's the person who will pick us up."
There were two sturdy Alphas in the car. Like Lin Qi, they were sent by Yu Jingchen to help protect Yu Chucheng.
The black car did a graceful drift, raising a cloud of dust in the factory director's face. The factory director coughed and rubbed his eyes desperately. Before he could angrily call for someone to stop a car, Yu Chucheng and Lin Qi quickly opened the door and got in.
"Hold on tight." said the Alpha who was driving.
A strong push on his back came over him, and Yu Chucheng couldn't help but grab the handle above.
They were all colleagues who had worked together for a long time. They would usually scold anyone who was lagging behind. As soon as Lin Qi got into the car, he couldn't help but speak up, "There's so much noise inside, why are you guys taking so long to get here?"
The man in the passenger seat snorted, "Don't we have to spend time covering the license plate? Otherwise, what if we are found out?"
Lin Qi pinched his eyebrows and said, that’s true.
"Director, what should we do now?" The workers breathed a sigh of relief. Rather than fighting and getting hurt, they would rather the other party escape.
The factory manager gnashed his teeth, his facial muscles twitching with anger. "Tomorrow I will go next door and ask for an explanation. Damn it, they are jealous of my cooperation with the Zhang family and they want to steal my job. I will smash their shabby factory that produces fake cosmetics!"
The car drove a long distance before Yu Chucheng's heartbeat gradually calmed down.
Lin Qi took off his mask and said to Yu Chucheng, "I suggest that you tell the young master about what happened tonight. The factory director will definitely be alert. Only the young master can mobilize the people of the Chamber of Commerce to investigate this matter."
