"Jiang Tiecheng, what do you mean by that?"
Wu Laosan's expression changed immediately.
His expression was one of indignation.
"Even if you're from the security department, you can't wrongly accuse someone. What did I take?"
The four young men following behind him also became anxious.
"Hey, Jiang Tiecheng, so what if you're from the security department?"
You can't just accuse people like that; we didn't take anything from the factory.
"If you're going to catch a thief red-handed, then produce the evidence."
"Otherwise, this is called framing!"
"You've only been here for one day. How much do you dislike us? There's a limit to how much nonsense you can spout."
"If you're accusing us like this, we won't accept it. We'll go to the factory manager to get justice for us."
The off-duty employees nearby immediately stopped and gathered around to watch the spectacle.
"Comrade, I absolutely did not wrong you."
Hand over the items, and this will be the last time; then the matter will be over.
If the factory manager is actually called in, it will be considered stealing the factory's collective property.
That would then become theft; think carefully.
"You're talking nonsense! Who stole it? Who stole it?"
"You're slandering me as a thief! What makes you think you're talking nonsense?"
Wu Laosan addressed the crowd,
“Look at this, everyone! Look at this newcomer, Jiang Tiecheng, he’s talking nonsense.”
Which eye of yours saw me take anything from the factory? What did I take?
"You know perfectly well what you took."
"You're from the security department, you can't just spout nonsense. Let me tell you, if you can't produce evidence today, I'm not letting this go!"
Wu Laosan and the four young men were furious and surrounded Jiang Tiecheng.
Security chief Feng Zhengang arrived with his men immediately upon hearing that a disturbance had broken out at the main gate.
What happened?
"Section Chief Feng, you've come at the right time. Are you going to take care of your people?"
He can conduct inspections at the entrance, but he can't wrongly accuse people.
"We didn't take anything, yet he's demanding we hand over our belongings. What proof do he have?"
"Xiao Jiang, what happened?"
"Section Chief, I'm absolutely certain he's carrying something."
Wu Laosan's heart skipped a beat. How could this kid be so sure?
Although he did indeed possess it, he hid it so well that it was absolutely foolproof.
Nobody noticed it all these years.
"Section Chief Feng, he's framing someone."
Wu Laosan looked indignant, and his four buddies beside him quickly chimed in.
"Yes, Section Chief Feng, you can't listen to his nonsense."
What evidence do you have that Old Wu smuggled anything? This is slander.
"Section Chief Feng, all four of them are the same; they all have smuggled goods on them!"
Jiang Tiecheng's earth-shattering words instantly made the four people jump up and down.
"Section Chief Feng, did you see that?"
He's just a mad dog biting people.
Even Old Wu couldn't explain himself clearly, and now that we're accusing him of slander, he's throwing mud at us.
"Section Chief Feng, your security department can't operate like this."
"If you don't give us an explanation today, this isn't over."
"A total troublemaker."
Feng Zhengang sized up the five people in front of him. These five people were not the kind of troublemakers who were notorious in the factory, and they were usually quite well-behaved.
They're the type that's neither particularly outstanding nor particularly noticeable.
What evidence do you have?
Feng Zhengang lowered his voice. With so many people watching and the matter escalating to this point, they wouldn't be able to get through this without presenting evidence today.
Didn't they see all the workers staring at their security department? Normally, the security department and the workers had a lot of unpleasantness because of their role in guarding the gates.
If they don't have concrete evidence this time and end up wrongly accusing the workers, their security department will be in deep trouble.
Feng Zhengang felt that Jiang Tiecheng was a bit too young and impetuous, and even if he discovered them, he should stop them quietly.
How could you make such a big fuss in public?
This is not giving others leverage against us.
"The evidence is on them, what do you mean by 'on us'? What do you mean?"
You mean we're hiding it on our bodies?
"Tell me what you're going to do if you can't find what you call 'smuggled goods' on us today?"
"Yes, what if you can't find any smuggled items on us?"
"You're a new kid, you haven't even grown your hair yet!"
"You're talking nonsense here, falsely accusing someone and even trying to search them."
"Let me tell you, this isn't over yet. You've wronged us like this; how are we, ordinary employees, supposed to feel?"
"We go to get off work and leave work normally, contributing our strength to the construction of our motherland."
"And what are you doing, falsely accusing us here? You say we smuggled things in, but does that mean we really did?"
"Xiao Jiang, do you have any evidence?"
"The evidence really lies with them."
Jiang Tiecheng was absolutely certain that he had just touched Wu Laosan's hand by gripping the handlebars of the man in front of him.
My system panel has been upgraded since the last mine clearance, and now it displays information not only when I come into contact with people.
Touching objects will also display panel information.
That's why he dared to speak so confidently.
"You're talking nonsense. How can you search someone so casually?"
They are from the security department, not the police station.
"You said it happened to us."
Okay, with so many employees here, this new guy from the security department insists that we're carrying something on us.
Everyone be our witnesses. If we don't find anything on us today, we'll make sure this kid packs his bags and gets out of here immediately.
"If they find anything on us, the five of us will accept any punishment, even being fired."
"Let me be a witness for everyone: if they find anything on us, we'd be happy to fire us."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately trusted the five men, mainly because having a job these days is not easy, and who would be willing to swear an oath on their job?
That's incredibly cruel.
"Young man from the security department, you should apologize to those five people and admit your mistake."
You can't accuse someone without evidence. If you have real evidence, present it. You can't accuse someone without evidence.
"Yes, you're new here and don't know much about our factory. It's understandable if you make a mistake, but you can't wrong people. If you can wrong them today, you can wrong all of us tomorrow."
"Even the security department shouldn't bully people."
"Yes, they need to apologize."
"What's going on? What's going on?"
Haven't they all gone home from get off work?
What's all this commotion at the factory gate?
Don't they know this will have a negative social impact?
Deputy Factory Director Ma appeared with several factory cadres.
His appearance immediately made Feng Zhengang realize that there was probably something wrong with this matter.
He hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and said.
"Deputy Factory Director Ma, this matter is probably a misunderstanding. New comrades are bound to make mistakes in their work, and they may have misread it."
Xiao Jiang quickly apologized to his comrades, and said they would let the matter drop.
