Sister Chen looked at Xu Damao next to her, who was disheveled and had a stubble beard. She asked Cao Xiaojing to pour him a glass of water. Xu Damao had been arrested several times before, which was known in the factory, but for some reason he had been released.
"Da Mao, Director Li, what do you need Li Man for? If it's something financial, you should talk to me."
Upon hearing Sister Chen's question, Xu Damao was taken aback, wondering what excuse he could come up with.
"I didn't ask what it was about, it's probably something else."
Sister Chen nodded, pondering for a moment. Could it be because of that truckload of sheep? She'd received quite a bit of benefits; was Director Li investigating that?
Li Man was very anxious. He knew what kind of reputation Director Li had, especially given his ambiguous relationship with Liu Lan. Sister Chen, taking advantage of Xu Damao's inattention, scribbled a few words on a piece of paper.
"Li Man, there's a problem with the accounts from earlier. Could you come and take a look?"
Sister Chen called Li Man over and showed her the few sentences she had written.
Li Man nodded to indicate that she understood.
"Alright, you can go with Da Mao. Let's leave the work here for now and finish it when we get back!"
Watching Li Man's departing figure, he suddenly thought of something and hope rekindled in his heart.
When Sister Chen arrived at the purchasing department, Wang Qiang was drinking tea and reading the newspaper.
When Wang Qiang saw Sister Chen coming over, he put down his newspaper and smiled.
"What brings Sister Chen here?"
Sister Chen smiled. "Wang Qiang, there's a sum of money that needs to be checked. Come with me to the finance department!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Qiang remained expressionless. He was certain that his procurement was flawless, and all the accounts matched. However, he suspected that Sister Chen's hasty visit to him indicated that she had other matters to discuss.
There's definitely something more to Chen Jie's words. It implies that there's something else that needs to be said separately.
Sister Chen had no time to chat with Wang Qiang now, so she grabbed him and dragged him out of the purchasing department.
Wang Qiang was led by Sister Chen to a secluded corner. Seeing that no one was around, Sister Chen finally felt relieved. She briefly explained the whole story to Wang Qiang.
After listening, Wang Qiang's expression turned serious. Xu Damao hadn't seen this guy in a long time. Where did he come from?
Li Huaide's visit to Li Man this time was definitely not because of the itchy car, after all, he had also benefited a lot from it.
Wang Qiang didn't have time to think too much. He told Sister Li to stay calm and went to see what was going on. He concentrated as he arrived outside Li Huaide's office.
I know that besides Li Huaide, Xu Damao, and Li Man, there are two other people inside: Zhu Ziming, the factory's security officer, and Bai Daming.
Upon realizing that Bai Daming was the reason Wang Qiang understood, Li Huaide was still obsessed with those two boxes of things, and he never expected that he would actually dig up Bai Daming.
Li Man was brought to the office and, upon seeing Bai Daming, seemed somewhat disoriented, instantly recalling her previous encounter. Li Huaide noticed her flustered expression.
It is now completely certain that what Bai Daming said was true, and that Wang Qiang did indeed take two boxes of things away.
Li Huaide thought for a moment, then spoke to Zhu Ziming and Xu Damao.
"You two go find someone to apprehend Wang Qiang right now, and make sure you dig out those two boxes of stuff."
Hearing this, Wang Qiang took a deep breath and used an illusion. Li Huaide and the others instantly felt as if they were no longer in the office, but on a mountaintop surrounded by cliffs.
The group looked at each other in fear, not knowing where they were or why they had ended up there.
"This is……"
"What happened?"
...
Taking advantage of their fear, Wang Qiang leaped into the room. In their eyes, Wang Qiang was now like a giant eagle. He swooped down from the sky and snatched Li Man away.
Wang Qiang brought Li Man directly into the space. Still shaken, Li Man realized she was leaning against Wang Qiang's chest.
"Brother Wang, that scared me to death."
"Go soak in the Ruyi Pool for a while to calm your mind. I have some errands to run outside."
After comforting Li Man, Wang Qiang turned and left the space. He saw that the four people were still trembling with fear, as if they were truly facing an abyss.
When Li Huaide and the others saw Li Man being captured by the giant eagle, they were terrified and completely lost their composure.
Wang Qiang aimed, and Bai Daming unleashed a palm strike.
Instantly, Bai Daming's body went limp and he collapsed to the ground. But to Li Huaide and the others, it looked as if a bolt of lightning had struck Bai Daming from the sky.
"ah!"
Li Huaide screamed in fright.
Wang Qiang wanted to make another move and finish off the remaining three, but Li Huaide's shouts attracted others, and Wang Qiang heard the sound of people walking in the corridor.
Before anyone appeared, he immediately left Li Huaide's office. Finding a secluded spot, he had Li Man emerge from the spatial dimension. By this time, Li Man had recovered her composure after being cleansed by the Ruyi Pool.
Wang Qiang told her to go back to the finance office first, and if anyone asked, to say that she knew nothing.
Meanwhile, a commotion erupted in Li Huaide's office. His shouts attracted a crowd that burst into the room. The first thing they saw upon entering was Bai Daming's body lying on the floor.
Some of the more timid ones vomited after just one glance, while others screamed. Bai Daming's corpse looked as if it had been roasted. Looking at Li Huaide, Xu Damao, and Zhu Ziming, all three were deathly pale and trembling.
Someone called the security department, but seeing the situation, the security department knew that human life was at stake and they couldn't handle it themselves, so they could only report it to the police station.
Upon hearing that someone had died, the police station immediately dispatched a team of officers to the steel mill.
The lead officer was taken aback when he arrived at the scene. However, because it involved factory leaders, he did not immediately arrest the three, but instead asked them to cooperate with the investigation.
At the same time, a forensic doctor was notified to come to the scene.
But now the three men were so frightened they were incoherent. From their few words, they could only deduce that the dead man was named Bai Daming, a leader of a secret society.
As for why Bai Daming was at the steel mill, the three men couldn't give a clear answer. And regarding Bai Daming's cause of death, they all insisted that he was struck by lightning.
When the forensic examination results came out, it was confirmed that he was indeed struck by lightning. Strangely, no one else around heard the thunder at the time.
The police station felt that the case was too complicated and beyond their ability to handle, so they could only report it to the branch bureau and deal with Li Huaide, Zhu Ziming, and Xu Damao.
Although they were ruled out as suspects in the murder, they could not explain why Bai Daming was in Li Huaide's office.
The three of them were in very bad shape. They kept saying that they were on a high mountain when a bolt of lightning struck and knocked Bai Daming down.
I asked three people all day and they all gave the same answer.
Finally, the branch office sent word that the three men could be sent home to await further investigation.
