Chapter 420 A Touch of Fear



After seeing that the fire was out, Xu Xiangyang went to the security office and washed his face as soon as he entered.

There was only one person in the room, Hou Yu, who was on duty sitting in a chair. She was a little surprised to see Xu Xiangyang come over in such a disheveled state.

"Director Xu, what happened?"

Xu Xiangyang's clothes were filthy from the soot. After washing his face, he took off his coat and threw it aside.

"Someone set a fire just now, they'll be here soon." After saying that, he sat down in a chair to rest.

Upon hearing this, Hou Yu, who was standing to the side, immediately lost his composure.

What's going on?

Someone set fire to the garment factory? Who would dare to do that!

Xu Xiangyang glanced at the surprised Hou Yu and said calmly, "I suspect it's the same group that stole the fabric last time."

Regardless of whether it's them or not, it definitely isn't them, so it must be!

These people have to be made to take the blame today, otherwise, now that we've run out of fabric, we'll have to find someone to blame.

Besides, Xu Xiangyang wouldn't let Zhou Tianyi take things for nothing; he'd deal with him later!

"What? The person who stole the fabric?" Hou Yu was shocked.

I was already sleepy by midnight, but I was surprised to find myself wide awake all of a sudden.

So, does that mean all of these people have been caught?

At that moment, the door to the room was opened, and two people dragged three people in.

When they saw the person, they couldn't help but gasp in shock.

It's not that I know these people, but rather, these three people are just too pitiful...

The three men were lying on the ground, with blood clearly flowing from the back of their heads. How much force must have been used?

When they looked at Xu Xiangyang again, a hint of fear appeared in their eyes.

These days, if you encounter people like these, even if you kill them, it doesn't really matter.

Sending them to a labor camp would be merciful, given that they both stole and damaged public property.

The others returned one after another, and said that apart from the outside being blackened by smoke, there was no damage inside the factory.

Just as Xu Xiangyang was about to ask a question, another person ran in from outside.

It was Section Chief Huang. Judging from his anxious expression, you could tell he already knew about the factory.

Section Chief Huang glanced at the three people on the ground, and felt a surge of anger welling up inside him.

However, as he got closer, he realized something was wrong.

"What happened?" He looked at the blood on the heads of the three people, somewhat puzzled.

"Yes, it was Director Xu who caught him. He was already taken down when we arrived," another person said with a hint of awe in his voice.

These three are all adult men. It's incredible that one person could take care of all three without any of them escaping.

Section Chief Huang was somewhat surprised to hear this. He glanced at Xu Xiangyang and didn't think this young man had any special training.

But since they said it, it must be true. Otherwise, would these people be fighting each other?

That's impossible.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Xu Xiangyang said, "I think these three people are the ones who stole the fabric last time, and now they want to damage the factory. This is a very serious matter."

"Section Chief Huang, once it's light, go and notify the police to come over. This matter cannot be let off lightly."

Even if Xu Xiangyang didn't say anything, Section Chief Huang already knew what was going on. They actually dared to set a fire; if they succeeded, how much would they lose?

Thinking of the consequences, he immediately nodded and said seriously, "Don't worry, Director Xu, I will call the police tomorrow."

Xu Xiangyang glanced at the time, got up and walked to the door. "I'll leave the rest to you. I'm going back to rest now. Clean up the factory area, and also, it would be best to add another layer of protection to the perimeter wall."

The walls around the courtyard are quite high now, but they still can't keep people out.

Placing a ring of broken glass or wire mesh on top can effectively deter people.

Without waiting for Section Chief Huang's reply, he left immediately.

Section Chief Huang glanced at the person on the ground and asked, "What happened?"

The fact that Director Xu had to personally arrest people only makes them look even more incompetent.

His face was gloomy, and anyone who wasn't blind could tell he was unhappy.

How can they be happy? What are they even doing? Xu Xiangyang did all the work; they're just like a piece of trash.

Several people then recounted what had happened, each offering their own perspective.

If a thief is wary of people, no one can escape his notice; it's not that thieves steal from you, but that they're afraid of having their eyes on you.

If someone wants to do something bad, they'll definitely plan ahead.

Section Chief Huang stared at the people on the ground, then ordered them to tie them up.

Then he said, "Wake him up with water!"

Several people hurriedly carried over two buckets of water and poured them on each person to wake them up.

It has to be said that Xu Xiangyang went very far; these three people are now showing signs of developing a fever.

Upon opening their eyes and seeing these people, the three of them understood what was happening: they had been captured!

They were then separated and locked up individually.

Section Chief Huang looked at one of them and said with a gloomy expression, "Speak, who are you? Who ordered you? Do you know that this is public territory? How dare you set fire to it!"

Upon hearing this, the man shuddered and felt dizzy.

Of course, the dizziness was because my head had been hit, and I was completely dazed.

...

The next morning, Xu Xiangyang stretched, changed his clothes, left the space, and began to wash up.

This is all for show; otherwise, he would do all this on his social media.

Just at seven o'clock, Section Chief Huang came to find him.

"Director Xu, have you eaten?" Section Chief Huang didn't get to the point and asked first if the other person had eaten.

Xu Xiangyang nodded. "Is there anything I can help you with, Section Chief Huang?"

Section Chief Huang then said, "That's right, those three people yesterday were too tight-lipped, we couldn't get anything out of them."

"The police came this morning and took the person away. Our people went with them."

Whether they say it or not, what happened last night has been confirmed.

After all, setting fire to public property is a serious crime! It disrupts production!

Xu Xiangyang nodded. There was no need for them to say anything; of course, it would be better if they did.

It doesn't matter whether they talk about it or not now. Setting fire to the factory is a capital offense, and the person who stole the fabric will also be implicated, regardless of whether they admit it or not.

"Section Chief Huang, they were the ones who stole the fabric too. Remember to explain this to the police officers." He raised his head and looked at the person opposite him meaningfully.

Upon hearing this, Section Chief Huang paused for a moment, then nodded knowingly.

"I understand, Director Xu. I'll go and talk to him in a bit." He understood what Xu Xiangyang meant.

Regardless of whether it was them or not, they were the ones who stole the fabric.

"Okay, you can go now. There's nothing else to do here." Xu Xiangyang nodded in satisfaction and let him go back.

Anyway, all these issues have been resolved. Apart from the black ash behind the factory, there was no other damage.

There was a noise outside, and Xu Xiangyang got up and looked out the window.

The security team is adding barbed wire to the wall; it seems they took his words from yesterday to heart.

Although I don't like this Section Chief Huang, I have to say his work efficiency is alright.
