"Hey, why aren't you sleeping so late? Where's Xiao Hu?" I asked. Since I became the chief foreman, my position has been vacant, so I hired another security guard. There is no problem recruiting for this job, and idle people from nearby villages are willing to come. Xiao Hu is the new recruit, and he is very young.
"Brother Hao, we are very hot, let's stand outside for a while. Xiao Hu has already fallen asleep."
Although I was the chief foreman, they still called me Brother Hao. These two security guards were the ones who had a good relationship with Captain Qian. I looked into the gatehouse and saw Xiao Hu lying inside, snoring loudly.
"Okay, you guys should go to bed early too." I walked into the lobby and lay down. The lobby was small, and the bed was small too, so we had to squeeze in.
As soon as I lay down, I heard the sound of a tractor outside. I sat up suddenly and asked curiously, "Why is there a tractor going out at this late hour?" Xiaosong also sat up, rubbed his eyes and said, "Yeah, it's very strange."
I looked out the window and saw that the tractor had no lights on and was completely dark, and the two security guards were about to open the door. I felt something was fishy, so I immediately kicked the door open and rushed out. At this time, the gate of the construction site was already half open, and the tractor was about to rush out with a "thump thump thump" sound.
"Stop right there!" I shouted. Xiaosong rushed over and slammed the door shut.
The tractor also stopped suddenly, and the driver jumped down from it. He was vaguely a middle-aged man in his forties. He cursed: "What the hell? Why won't you let me out?"
The two security guards stood aside awkwardly. I walked over and looked inside the tractor. I saw a lot of iron plates, steel bars and other things in a mess. It looked like someone was trying to steal something!
I frowned and said, "Who told you to pull these things out?"
The driver looked me up and down and asked, "Who are you?"
Xiaosong said: "This is our foreman, Wang Hao!"
"Oh, Captain Wang." The driver said, "I want to take something out, you'd better let me go." His tone was flat but arrogant.
"Oh? Why?" I was puzzled: "You stole something, why should I let you out?"
The driver looked at the two security guards and said, "Is this foreman really stupid or just pretending to be stupid?" The two security guards were a little embarrassed and couldn't say anything for a long time. I realized that there must be something fishy going on, so I quietly reached into my pocket, set my phone to recording mode, and asked again, "Explain yourself. You stole something, why should I let you go?"
"Hey, then I'll tell you." The driver said arrogantly, "This truckload of stuff all belongs to Captain Qian. He told me to take it out! Kid, you know now, why don't you open the door?"
"Is it Captain Qian's?!" I said in shock, "That's impossible. Isn't Captain Qian still in the hospital?"
"Hey, Captain Qian has been out for a long time. He has been pulling things out these days. Stop talking nonsense and open the door."
I really didn't say anything more, because I punched him. The driver groaned and sat on the ground. I rushed over and kicked him in the ribs. He lay on the ground and couldn't get up. I sneered, "I've never seen such a thief so arrogant in my life. Xiaosong, tie him up for me and seize this truckload of iron!"
Xiao Song quickly tied up the driver with a rope and sent him to the gatehouse. He then drove the tractor to the back of the gatehouse. I pulled the other two security guards to the gatehouse. They complained bitterly that it was not their fault and that Captain Qian was behind everything. After a lot of interrogation, I learned that Captain Qian had been stealing for a long time. He often used tractors, tricycles and other tools to pull the iron scraps on the construction site outside and sell them during the night shift. He always said that he had to guard against thieves who stole iron nearby, but he didn't expect that the biggest thief was actually the security captain. I couldn't think of this even if I racked my brains. I couldn't help but sigh that Captain Qian really knows how to make money.
