Chapter 149 Divergence



The warehouse was in complete chaos.

All the boxes were unloaded and weighed. The warehouse manager wiped the sweat from his brow and said with a smile,

"Xiao Liu, thank goodness for you, this batch of goods was taken by mistake."

This is a shipment destined for another factory, and the quantity is indeed less than that destined for this factory.

It's thanks to your timely discovery that these goods were delivered; otherwise, it would have been bad for our factory's reputation.

If things go wrong, people might think we're shortchanging them.

Xiao Liu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as he admits it, that's fine; what he's afraid of is not admitting it.

"Section Chief, you guys aren't taking this matter seriously at the warehouse where the goods are being shipped out."

Thankfully we discovered it in time. What would have happened if it had been sent to someone else's factory?

The warehouse keeper and the warehouse manager both apologized repeatedly.

The matter was quickly resolved, and they reloaded the truck before Jiang Tiecheng and his team set off.

Jiang Tiecheng still fulfilled his responsibility. After getting on the truck, he checked all the goods and touched each box to make sure he knew what was going on.

Deputy Factory Director Ma was drinking tea, humming a tune, and reading the newspaper in his office when, unexpectedly, the warehouse section chief rushed in in a panic.

"Old Li, what are you doing?"

"Deputy Factory Director Ma is in trouble!"

"Speak properly, what do you mean by 'something happened'?"

Section Chief Li hurriedly and furtively closed the door.

“Deputy Factory Director Ma, the matter you asked me to confess has been discovered by Jiang Tiecheng!”

How did he find out?

Deputy Factory Director Ma was momentarily flustered; how could this kid discover everything?

"I did as you said and had the movers load it onto the truck, but who knew that they would lift the boxes and find that the weight was wrong as soon as they got on the truck."

They've reloaded it for them now, and the goods have already been taken away.

This definitely won't work. I managed to get away with it this time with an excuse, but I can't use that method next time.

Deputy Factory Director Ma dismissed Section Chief Li and sat there with a gloomy face. He never expected that Jiang Tiecheng would be so shrewd.

We couldn't find a single thing to do to him.

I just don't believe it.

He's not a god; he can't be perfect in every way.

Deputy Factory Director Ma picked up the phone and dialed Ma Kui's number. Soon after, Ma Kui hurriedly left his office.

As Jiang Tiecheng and the others looked at the pitch-black road ahead, Old Cheng said,

"Let's find a place to rest nearby tonight. We can't travel after dark."

Jiang Tiecheng shared this opinion. The roads nowadays were not like the highways of the past, the streetlights were incomplete, and the roads were rugged and difficult to travel.

Traveling in the dark is no easy task; accidents can easily happen.

They are on a crucial mission of delivering goods this time, and they certainly can't afford to make any mistakes.

As a member of the security department, he also felt that finding a place to park and rest for the night was the right thing to do.

Xiao Liu looked around, his face showing a troubled expression.

"This place is in the middle of nowhere."

We're in the middle of nowhere; it's not a good idea to stay here for the night.

"Or perhaps we should walk a little further and see if we can find a town or village to rest in."

The main difference is that this place is different from other places. The wilderness in the Great Northwest is fundamentally different from the wilderness in other places.

Because what they are now in is truly an endless desert.

Although it is winter now, winter in the desert is only more desolate.

And it forced all the wild animals that relied on the desert for survival out of the wild.

They stopped in the middle of nowhere, and now they were not afraid of people, but rather of animals. The thought of being surrounded by wolves sent chills down their spines.

Three years ago, one of their factory's trucks went out to deliver goods and got stuck in the wilderness at night, where it was spotted by a pack of wolves.

This wolf pack is quite tactically adept.

The wolves went straight for the tires, and the driver and the people in the truck carrying the ducks were on edge. If the tires were to burst, they would basically die there.

There was no village in sight, no shop in sight, and no one was there to help.

They went down with weapons to fight the wolf pack, but all three of them ended up as wolf food.

After this incident, everyone learned a lesson: never get out of the car in a remote, desolate area.

However, this does not mean that accidents will not occur, because people do not get out of the vehicle.

Wolves still have ways to trap people here.

This is what Xiao Liu is worried about.

Old Cheng understood after hearing this. Xiao Liu was right. This was the worst situation in the wilderness, but they had started late today.

We were indeed trapped in the middle of nowhere.

"How about we drive further ahead? If we drive forward, it will be in the dark. If we drive further ahead, I will drive a little slower."

If I remember correctly, there should be a production team about 200 li ahead.

Old Cheng hesitated for a moment because the road was difficult to travel at night.

If the car gets stuck in a ditch by the roadside, which is all desert, there's basically no way to get it out once it's stuck.

In short, this road is difficult to travel at night.

"Don't go this way. There are too many potholes on this road. If you're not careful, you can easily fall into the ditch next to it. We're carrying a truckload of goods."

Whether it overturned into a ditch or got stuck in the sand, there was no way to get the car out.

"Let's rest here."

Jiang Tiecheng naturally knew that he had never encountered this situation before.

It was the first time they had met, but he was confident because his strength far exceeded that of ordinary people.

No normal person could stand up to him.

Seven or eight adults couldn't last more than two moves against him, let alone wolves, whose speed was their greatest asset.

If you encounter someone like yourself, there will definitely be no way to escape.

It was fine if he didn't show up before, but now that he's here, I can be sure I'll have a peaceful night.

"This won't do, will it?"

Xiao Jiang, you don't know how dangerous it is here at night. There are wolves around.

These wolves are too clever; as soon as they see a car parked, they'll definitely come out and attack at night.

"Comrade Xiao Liu, listen to me!"

Xiao Liu was speechless after Jiang Tiecheng's words, mainly because he had been humiliated by Jiang Tiecheng that day.

Lacking confidence.

"Okay? Xiao Jiang's suggestion is acceptable. At worst, we can take a nap here for three or four hours and then I'll set off."

Seeing that the two young people were getting into a heated argument, Lao Cheng quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

Xiao Liu snorted.

He turned around, grabbed his military overcoat, and jumped to the back seat.

"Alright!"

"Whatever you say goes. You're a security officer responsible for safety, so it's your job. I don't participate in this kind of discussion."

One person lay down on the back seat, covered himself with his coat, turned over, and fell asleep.

Old Chen felt a little embarrassed by Xiao Liu's actions and quickly tried to smooth things over.

"Xiao Jiang, Xiao Liu meant well; things have been quite dangerous on this road."

You may never have encountered this before, but once you do, you'll probably know.
