8 Warehouse Terror
◎…◎
Zhou Chenghai was very nervous at the moment. When he was prying the warehouse door, his eyes couldn't help but dart around.
He was afraid that someone would pop up from somewhere and catch him red-handed when he wasn't paying attention.
Liu Xiaodao, who was with him, looked down on him because of his timid look.
Seeing that Zhou Chenghai couldn't pry the door open after a long time, he pushed it open in disgust.
"Zhou Chenghai, why has your lock-picking skill deteriorated? Is it still possible?"
"If you had stayed with me all along instead of running off to the countryside, you would have become a master locksmith long ago."
As he spoke, Liu Xiaodao still felt a little regretful.
Zhou Chenghai indeed inherited his father Zhou Yushu's gene for repairing machines. When he first met him, he was only about ten years old, but he had learned to pick all kinds of locks by his own exploration.
At that time, he was so impressed by Zhou Chenghai that he immediately brought him into his team.
Thanks to Zhou Chenghai's lock-picking skills, his life was extremely comfortable during that period.
Just when he was planning to make another effort and take Zhou Chenghai to break into a cadre's private residence, Zhou Chenghai actually signed up to go to the countryside and ran away.
He looked at Zhou Chenghai as if he were a fool.
It would be so nice to hang out with him in the city and have a good life every day, but there are actually people who would take the initiative to go to the countryside to suffer.
Without Zhou Chenghai, his good helper in picking locks, his theft business did not go so smoothly.
Even if you sneak into a large mansion, you can't pick the lock, so you can only commit petty thefts.
He was really fed up with the tight life, so when he learned that Zhou Chenghai had returned to the city three years ago, he immediately went to find him.
But Zhou Chenghai was cheated by his stepsister and had no job, so he had to return to the countryside.
Finally, after enduring more than two years in the countryside, Zhou Chenghai's stepfather was merciful enough to use his connections to transfer him back and let him work in the loading and unloading team of the textile factory.
However, the work of carrying bags in the loading and unloading team was tiring and the salary was low, which Zhou Chenghai was very dissatisfied with. So when he came to him, he cooperated with him again without saying a word.
The two men's first collaboration after many years set their sights on the textile factory's warehouse.
As a member of the loading and unloading team, Zhou Chenghai is very familiar with the various fabrics in the warehouse.
A few days ago, their textile factory had just produced a batch of silk fabrics and planned to sell them to clothing merchants from Hong Kong.
This batch of fabrics is of great value. One piece is equivalent to his annual salary.
Zhou Chenghai, who was extremely short of money, could not resist the temptation.
When Liu Xiaodao found him and said he wanted to continue the cooperation, he proposed to steal the batch of fabrics from the textile factory warehouse.
Liu Xiaodao had his own channels for selling stolen goods. Even if he got all the fabrics, he would not worry about not being able to sell them. He agreed without hesitation.
Of course, he agreed so readily because he knew that he would make a lot of money after getting this batch of fabrics.
Liu Xiaodao, who had just killed a man, has been feeling uneasy and his eyelids have been twitching these days.
People say the left eye represents wealth and the right eye represents disaster. His right eye twitches more violently than his left eye, which shows that something bad is going to happen.
As expected, the female corpse he threw into the river a few days ago was found today.
Liu Xiaodao felt something was wrong and wanted to run away.
However, before running away, he wanted to do something big and get more money in his hands, so that when he ran away, he wouldn't have to worry about money for a while.
As for whether his accomplice Zhou Chenghai would be found by the police after he ran away, he didn't care.
He even had no intention of sharing the money he earned from selling the stolen goods with Zhou Chenghai.
This can be regarded as a punishment for Zhou Chenghai's betrayal of his friendship with his comrades and his sudden departure to the countryside a few years ago.
Zhou Chenghai, who had no idea that Liu Xiaodao had already planned to trick him, felt a little embarrassed by Liu Xiaodao's words.
He didn't go to the countryside voluntarily.
Isn't it because his mother Zheng Xiaohong found out that he was not studying hard and was hanging out with that second-rate guy Liu Xiaodao?
After his mother remarried, although she didn't care about him as much as she did about her stepdaughter, she did not care about him at all.
When his mother found out that he was involved with Liu Xiaodao, she was so angry that she beat him up severely.
When they learned that he was so bold as to even plan to steal things from a cadre's home, they were so scared that they registered him at the factory office that night and sent him to the countryside.
She just wanted to use this to separate him from Liu Xiaodao, fearing that if he continued to hang out with Liu Xiaodao and was caught, it would ruin her reputation and affect her life in her new home.
Although his mother gave him some money at the time, life in the countryside was too hard for him to endure, and he soon spent most of the money.
Later, I wrote to his mother to ask for money, but she kept complaining and making excuses.
She said that the family was not well off now, and asked him not to spend lavishly and to be frugal.
He has no idea how hard life is in the countryside.
The few work points he earned were barely enough to fill his stomach. If he didn't spend money on food, would he starve to death?!
That's right, his mother now has a pair of twins with her stepfather, so the life and death of him, the child left by her previous husband, is not that important to her.
Also, because he was disobedient and followed Liu Xiaodao, she was worried. His mother probably wished he would die in the countryside.
Thinking of this, Zhou Chenghai was filled with hatred towards his biological mother Zheng Xiaohong.
Little did he know, his half-siblings were living a god-like life at home, having everything they wanted.
Not only did his mother never withhold money from the twins' expenses, she was also afraid that if she gave too little, the twins would suffer losses.
Even his stepsister, who was also a burden, had a much easier life than him because she was protected by her godmother.
Among the four children in the family, he was the only one who was not favored and had the hardest life.
There's a reason why he's mastered the art of picking locks at such a young age.
If his mother had not been so weak and gave all the compensation money from his father to his grandmother, he would not have to be so cautious and watch people's faces everywhere after arriving at his new home, and would not even dare to eat more.
Every time he asked his mother for money to buy something, his step-grandmother would suddenly come out of the house, scaring his mother so much that she didn't dare to give him money in person.
When he was behind his step-grandmother's back, his mother would give him a few cents with a helpless and embarrassed look on her face, and then cry about how difficult it was for her life in this family and asked him to be considerate of her.
He understands his mother, but who understands him?
He had no money to spend and his mother was very stingy with him, so naturally he had to find a way out on his own.
Maybe he had this talent. One time when he went to his mother and stepfather's bedroom to steal money, he pried open the cabinet lock in one go.
From then on, he couldn't stop picking locks and stealing things.
But the money at home was counted, and when his mother found that some money was missing, she immediately suspected him.
After all, if the twins need money, they can just ask for it, there is no need to steal.
His stepsister already has a lot of money, but she rarely goes home.
Only he not only lived at home, but also had the motive to steal the money.
After his mother pulled his ears and scolded him harshly behind his stepfather and stepmother's back, he learned that he couldn't just take advantage of the same thing, so he learned his lesson and started to expand his business.
Later, he happened to meet Liu Xiaodao while stealing things. With Liu Xiaodao responsible for scouting everywhere, he was responsible for picking the locks, and he was like a fish in water.
But the good times didn't last long. Just as he was beginning to taste the sweetness, his mother found out and forced him to sign up to go to the countryside.
It was fine that his mother didn't send him money after he went to the countryside, but he managed to make a living by stealing.
But what he couldn't accept was that after the policy of going to the countryside ended, the families of those educated youth tried every means to get their children back to the city, but he was the only one left unattended and uncared for.
He wrote a letter to his mother, hoping that she would give him the job so that he could return to the city, but his mother flatly refused.
The reason is that if the job is given to him, his salary will definitely be reduced a lot after he takes over.
It would be better to let her work and save more money so that she can get married in the future.
Of course Zhou Chenghai didn't believe that fucking nonsense.
Even if his mother had money, she would only give it to the twins, not him.
Unwilling to give up, he simply took the opportunity to take leave during the Chinese New Year holiday and went back home to discuss the job transfer with his mother in person.
If his mother hadn't been so weak and hadn't kept the job his father had left for him, he wouldn't have to worry about his job.
So, his mother had to find him a job.
The final result of the discussion was that it was still his job, and the two of them set their sights on the job vacancy left by the stepsister's biological mother.
But he didn't expect that even though he had already convinced his stepfather, who might be a stumbling block, his stepsister still tricked them.
He was tricked and, thanks to the interference of his step-grandmother Li Zaohua, he was unable to get his biological mother's job. He was forced to return to the countryside and suffer for more than two years.
If he had not written a letter to his stepfather to complain and threatened to have his grandmother and uncle come to his house to make trouble, his stepfather would have had to get him a job to save face. He would probably have stayed in the countryside for the rest of his life.
But he really didn't like the job his stepfather got him.
Not only was it tiring, but the salary was also low. After working for a while, he didn't want to do it anymore.
Especially after learning that his stepsister had served in the army for several years and became a police officer as soon as she returned, he felt even more dissatisfied.
Why is it that everyone else in this family is getting better and better, while he is the only one getting worse and worse?!
Now, Zhou Chenghai not only hated his mother Zheng Xiaohong, but also his stepfather Chi Jianjun.
With his stepfather's ability, he could have found him an easy and decent job, but he gave him such a hard job. It showed how much he looked down on him.
In Chi Jianjun's heart, does Zhou Chenghai deserve to suffer?
So in order to vent his anger, he set his sights on the warehouse area that his stepfather was in charge of, intending to get some valuable fabrics from it and sell them.
When the factory discovers that the warehouse has been stolen, his stepfather, as the manager of this warehouse area and the deputy chief of the security department, will definitely be in big trouble.
If his stepfather's work is affected, his mother, the twins, and his stepsister will definitely be affected as well.
As long as they were not doing well, he was happy.
While his stepfather was taking the security department to cooperate with the public security work and was negligent about the warehouse, he immediately contacted Liu Xiaodao.
After some time of exploration, he has figured out the patrol schedule of the security department at the warehouse, and he is sure to succeed.
When he has money, he will use his connections to find himself an easy and respectable job.
Then he would marry a beautiful wife, move out of his stepfather's house, and live his own life.
Zhou Chenghai, who had a beautiful plan in mind, immediately sped up the movement of picking the lock.
Soon there was a click and the lock opened.
The two men carefully pushed open the warehouse door, turned on the flashlight, found the silk fabric storage area, and began to move it out.
Just as the two were busy moving, a layer of smoke rose in the warehouse.
Zhou Chenghai and Liu Xiaodao were stunned as they watched the smoke rising and becoming thicker.
There was fog in the warehouse for no apparent reason. This is too weird!
Liu Xiaodao was even more frightened. Feeling uneasy, he instinctively ran towards the warehouse door.
But before he could run two steps, he saw the half-open warehouse door slam shut by itself!
