Lei Zhong, who couldn't sleep at night, came to the warehouse to check. The person guarding outside was asleep, so he didn't call out. When he went in, he found a dark shadow stealing rice, so he shouted.
When he met that person, he was not afraid and just stood there. Lei Zhong caught him without any effort.
Holding his arm with one hand and shining a flashlight on his face with the other, it was Chen Dong! He stayed up late at night to steal rice!
Lei Zhong felt incredible. He should be at Wang Cuihua's house. How could their family be short of food and come to the warehouse to steal rice in the middle of the night?
He asked sternly, "Why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night to do something sneaky? Who told you to do this?"
Chen Dong opened his eyes, looked around the warehouse, and said in confusion, "I remember I was sleeping in bed. How did I end up here? I must have dreamed!"
Hearing his words, Lei Zhong was speechless. He dared to do it but was not willing to take responsibility for it. "What are you dreaming about? I see you are very awake! Tell me now!"
Chen Dong waved his hands, trying to break free from his control: "How could I possibly steal? This is everyone's food! I was just sleepwalking in a dream!"
Although he didn't run away just now, maybe he was just scared, so his words are not credible at all.
The people outside were startled awake by Lei Zhong's roar. How could the captain's voice still be heard in the warehouse? What was he doing here so late at night? Curious, they went in to see.
Seeing the captain capture Chen Dong, the scene was so strange that Lei Zhong was rarely seen so angry. He mustered up the courage to ask, "Captain, what are you going to do with him?"
Lei Zhong used his bare hands to grab a handful of rice from Chen Dong's bulging pocket and showed it to him: "He came to steal rice, find something to tie him up and don't let him run away."
The man frowned when he heard this and quickly made amends: "I'll find it right away."
Chen Dong wanted to say something more, but when he saw that the man did not doubt Lei Zhong's words, he felt a little disappointed.
The man found a rope. Lei Zhong first squeezed his hands together tightly, wrapped them around his hands a few times, and then tied a knot around his hands to pull him along: "Come with me. If you get tired, I'll call someone to relieve you."
"No, no! Go away!" The man waved his hand slowly. How could he have time to sleep now? He was scared to death. He couldn't explain to everyone that things were lost in the warehouse.
Fortunately, the captain did not blame him and was kind enough to find someone for him. However, he didn't think it was tiring to guard this place, but he was very sleepy in the second half of the night.
Lei Zhong pulled Chen Dong away, but Chen Dong didn't move his feet behind him and kept talking in his ear. Lei Zhong didn't listen to what he said. He just wanted to take him home and lock him up as soon as possible. He would tell everyone what he had done tomorrow and deal with it later.
Chen Dong licked his lips and his saliva dried up, but Lei Zhong still had that dead expression on his face, not relaxing at all. It was unclear if he was still a human being. Even when he said he would give him a lot of money, he didn't react.
Suddenly, Chen Dong thought of the woman at Lei Zhong's home. He heard that she had no milk to feed her baby, and now she can only drink rice soup all day. He advised: "Captain, if you don't want money, your baby at home will never be able to survive on just rice soup! If you have money, you can use milk powder. Then he will grow into a big fat baby, how cute!"
Lei Zhong thought about what he said. His child was still young, and he was getting thinner and thinner every day after eating rice soup. He also cried a lot. Even so, he couldn't go against his principles and accept ill-gotten gains. "You don't need to tell me about my child. If you give up on this idea, I won't let you go."
Chen Dong still didn't give up. He responded to him, which meant he was listening: "Think about it! You worked so hard to get this baby, how could you bear to let her not have enough to eat?"
Thinking along the lines of what he said, I realized that there wasn't much food at home, and the child wouldn't be full just by eating rice porridge. She was still young and couldn't eat anything else. It wasn't that he wouldn't let her eat rice, but she might get something stuck in her throat if she ate it.
He hesitated for a second but still didn't agree. He couldn't forget his original intention of becoming a captain, which was to ensure that everyone could have enough food to eat. Even if he was released now, he would not change. He still had to be punished before he would remember.
"If you still say anything when we get to my house, I'll throw you out."
It was still raining on the road, so Lei Zhong put on a straw raincoat. Chen Dong's face was numb from the cold.
Chen Dong nodded hurriedly and didn't dare to say anything else.
On this side, Wang Cuihua waited for a long time but Chen Dong didn't come back. She was a little worried and asked Wang Long if he had been caught!
Wang Long was amused after hearing her words: "How is that possible? He is very cunning. You might as well say that he is eating alone rather than being caught!"
Wang Long was not afraid that he would run away. His file was still with him. It would be useless if he ran away. He would have to come back.
"How is that possible? He can't possibly eat all the food without telling her!" Usually Chen Dong gives her the good things first. She must be in danger now.
Wang Long stopped talking when he saw that she didn't understand what he meant.
Wang Cuihua's face was filled with worry. Wang Long looked at his daughter's disappointing appearance, sighed and said, "If you want to go find him, go ahead!"
Wang Cuihua is his daughter, so no one would dare to hurt her.
After walking for a long time, the mud along the way was stuck to her trouser legs and stuck to her feet, which was very uncomfortable. If it weren't for what he promised, she would not have come out to look for him.
She had not walked halfway when she was so tired that she wanted to sit on the ground. Seeing that there was no good place on the ground, she leaned against a tree to rest. Suddenly, a dazzling bolt of lightning tore through the sky like a sharp sword and struck right in front of her.
She quickly got up and didn't lean against the tree trunk. She was frightened by the sudden lightning and thunder and her whole body trembled. Her heart beat so rapidly that it seemed like it was about to jump out of her throat.
Without time to think, her instinct for survival made her subconsciously turn around, spread her legs and run desperately towards home.
Wang Cuihua's steps were hurried and hurried. She ran on the muddy road, one step deep and one step shallow, splashing muddy water.
Her body leaned forward slightly, her fists clenched tightly, swinging with the rhythm of her running, and the flashlight light swayed wildly in the darkness.
His face was full of fear, his face was pale, his lips trembled slightly, and he screamed "Ah ah" unconsciously.
