It's just that I've gotten older over the years.
There weren't as many thieves anymore, so I only had to get up once a night.
Without an alarm clock, Grandpa Qiu opened his eyes on his own.
After tidying up and adjusting my clothes, I grabbed a flashlight and headed towards the factory.
Every night he would take a walk around the factory, and at the very end, he would go to the toilet to relieve himself. That would complete his patrol for the day.
That's because we didn't know that Grandpa Qiu had this habit.
When the flashlight shone on Li Laosi, both of them were stunned.
Li Laosi didn't expect the old man to get up and patrol, and he didn't find a secluded place.
Grandpa Qiu never expected that someone would steal from this dilapidated factory, and he wasn't carrying any weapons.
But your grandpa is still your grandpa.
After a moment of stunned silence, he immediately sprang to attention and ran toward the security room.
Zhao Wu was also taken aback, then cursed and prepared to catch up.
"Are you crazy?! Why are you chasing after him?!"
"Kill that old man!" Zhao Wu said with a ferocious expression.
"What's the point of killing him! Are you crazy?!" Li Laosi smacked Zhao Wu on the head hard. "He's armed. You can't catch him. He'll shoot you and you're done for! Run! Run!"
"Take our things..." Zhao Wu was somewhat unwilling.
"Take what you can carry and hide it on the mountain. No, we'll hide it on the mountain too, and come down tomorrow!" Li Laosi was an old hand at this; the surrounding area was all desolate mountains and wilderness. There wasn't a suitable place to hide.
The main problem is that they were carrying large items.
Everyone knows what the old man will do after he goes back.
"What's wrong?" Wang Wang asked hurriedly when he saw them come out. He had been sent outside by Li Laosi to meet them. He had just come in to check the route and then ran out to keep watch. They weren't concerned about the people inside the factory, but rather the people outside.
"Damn it, we've been spotted. Let's grab some things and leave."
While the two were still talking.
A piercing alarm rang out.
The group exchanged glances, nodded, and hurriedly ran outside.
Grandpa Qiu returned to the guard room, immediately pressed the alarm bell, and then picked up his weapon to wait. He noticed the group hadn't followed. He narrowed his eyes, grabbed his Type 38 rifle, and headed outside.
As a veteran, he knew what was important. Upon seeing that there were three of them, his first reaction was to return and report it. It wasn't that he was afraid of dying, but rather that he was afraid he couldn't defeat them and would end up losing his life without being discovered. Now that he had reported it, he could pursue them; it was his sense of responsibility as a guard.
Compared to the surveys conducted by several Buddhist monks in this area.
Grandpa Qiu can be said to know the terrain of this area like the back of his hand.
He knew all he needed to do was head up the mountain; he had already sounded the alarm, and there was only one way out. If they were smart, they would head up the mountain; if they were stupid, he would have made a wasted trip. But if they actually did head up the mountain, they would be much harder to catch.
After hearing the alarm, almost everyone in the factory's dormitory building woke up.
He rushed downstairs and headed into the factory.
"Dad... what's wrong?" Zhang San's wife was also woken up by the noise.
"The factory alarm went off, but I didn't know. I have to go there." Zhang San hurriedly put on his clothes.
"Aren't there security personnel here?"
"Our factory's security department only has a few people, so we definitely have to go and help."
"Then... be careful."
"Yes, I know."
Inside the dormitory, many people were repeating this conversation. The main reason was the salary Wang Shouren provided, and the factory's prospects gave them hope; nobody wanted anything to happen to the factory!
The security personnel were the first to arrive downstairs and assemble.
The head of the security department had been replaced by Wang Shouren. The new head, Zhang Wu, was transferred from higher up. He was also a battle-hardened soldier, over forty years old, with rich combat experience. He looked at the assembled men; although they were a bit slow, at least their training these past few days had been somewhat effective.
"Everyone is included, divided into three groups, you, you, and you..."
"Group 1, go to the warehouse to confirm the situation. Group 2, go to the security office to see if Grandpa Qiu has any clues. Group 3, follow me to get the car! After confirming the information, meet at the main gate."
"yes!"
In an instant, the security team, consisting of only eight people, set off.
Zhang Wu was accompanied by a security guard named Xiao Zhang, who asked in confusion, "Captain, why do we need to get the car?"
"The alarm went off, which means Grandpa Qiu is alright. They've probably already escaped. Having a car makes it easier to chase them down. As long as we know which direction they ran, we can catch them," Zhang Wu said succinctly.
As he got down, he began to mentally simulate the situation he was about to encounter.
And they reacted extremely quickly, splitting their forces into three groups.
When the group saw that the warehouse had been pried open, they didn't hesitate and immediately ran towards the factory gate.
The second group didn't see Grandpa Qiu in his security room, but they did see a note he left behind, so they waited there.
A short while later, Zhang Wu came out on his motorcycle.
"Team One, report back!"
"Report! The warehouse has been broken into. We need to wait for the warehouse staff to come and confirm the exact losses, but at least we can see that a few engines have been taken away."
"Second team, report!"
"Report! Grandpa Qiu left a note saying there were three thieves, and they probably ran up the mountain."
"One group, drive out. Keep an eye out for any suspicious people along the way. The rest of you, follow me up the mountain to find Grandpa Qiu!" After confirming the enemy's location, Zhang Wu quickly assigned tactics.
Since Grandpa Qiu has already gone after them, they have to follow. Grandpa Qiu is quite astute; his judgment is probably correct. If he's wrong, then it just means those thieves are a bit stupid.
and……
Zhang Wu narrowed his eyes slightly. Of all things to take, why take engines? Others might not know, but he knew that these engines were advanced technology.
He then said to Xiao Zhang beside him, "Go to the gatehouse and tell the factory manager what happened here. Ask him if we need to call the police."
These days, people don't usually call the police easily.
After all, the factory has its own soldiers, and if some things get out, the factory manager will easily lose face.
So, the phone rang in Wang Shouren's house in the middle of the night.
This was something her superiors required her to do, and it cost him quite a bit of money. Half-asleep, Mr. Wang was planning to see Lou Xiao'e off the next day when he was inexplicably woken up.
