Zhong Mingxue went directly to Su Yaping's factory. Although it was a bit late, the security guard was definitely still there!
If Su Yaping is really working overtime, she must be at the factory.
Because he was anxious, he walked twice as fast as usual.
Su Yaping works at a state-owned corrugated paper factory. Sometimes when orders come in, she has to work overtime to complete them.
About three bus stops away from Caomao Hutong, Zhong Mingxue was walking so fast that his forehead was covered in sweat, which dripped down and stung his eyes.
However, at this moment, he seemed completely oblivious to the pain.
He waved to wipe away the sweat, and his pace quickened again and again.
It took about an hour to walk to the gate of the corrugated paper mill.
However, all he saw was that the factory gate was tightly closed, and it didn't look like anyone was working overtime at all.
However, Zhong Mingxue didn't have time to think much and went forward to bang loudly on the small door on the guard's side.
"Is anyone home? Open the door quickly... open the door quickly!"
After a while, a hoarse, displeased voice came from inside, following his pounding and shouting: "Who is it? Coming to knock on the door in the middle of the night."
As the sound came out, there was a "click," which meant the gatekeeper had turned on the light.
Upon hearing this voice, Zhong Mingxue, who was initially flustered, anxiously asked, "I am Su Yaping's father-in-law. Is he working overtime?"
Before he could finish speaking, there was a loud bang, and a small, square opening was made in the small door next to the main gate of the corrugated iron factory.
Through that small opening, only half of the person's face was visible, peering out.
Zhong Mingxue quickly stepped forward, grabbed the small opening, and said excitedly to the person, "I need to see Su Yaping. It's very important. I'm his father-in-law. Is he working overtime? Could you please call him out for me?"
The man was somewhat surprised to hear Zhong Mingxue's anxious voice, then raised the kerosene lamp beside him and shone it through the open opening.
Seeing Zhong Mingxue's full head of white hair, he shook his head and replied, "The factory hasn't had any orders for a long time, how could it possibly need people to work overtime? I remember that Su Yaping you mentioned, he came to complete his resignation procedures a few days ago and he's not coming to work anymore!"
Upon hearing what the man said, Zhong Mingxue felt the blood rush to his head, and he swayed before collapsing to the ground.
Seeing this, the man hesitated for a long time but still did not open the door.
He simply said through the door, "Old man, it's so late, you should go home soon!"
After saying that, he slammed the door shut, preferring to stay out of sight, out of mind.
These days, being a good person isn't so easy.
Zhong Mingxue collapsed to the ground, feeling as if the whole world was spinning around him. It took him a long time to regain his composure and prevent him from fainting.
Barely holding onto the door, he slowly got up from the ground, turned around, hunched over, and walked slowly forward step by step, leaning against the wall.
By the time he got home, it was almost midnight.
"Old man, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"
When Hong Chunjiao saw Zhong Mingxue, who looked ashen-faced, push open the door and enter, she was so frightened that she didn't even bother to stare at her daughter. She jumped up from the stool and rushed towards the old man.
Zhong Qiufeng was also startled when she saw her father's appearance.
Although she was selfish, she still considered taking her father's life.
She followed behind her mother, jogging over and reaching out to help her mother assist her father to a seat.
