I couldn't take it anymore; when I went home for Chinese New Year, the family genealogy book ha

Chapter 392 Bald Liu's customers all ran away, and in a fit of rage, he caused destruction.

Bald Liu's battlefield was as desolate as a graveyard.

Normally, this place would be bustling with the roar of heavy machinery and trucks coming and going at this time of day.

But now, apart from a few gray rats scurrying around on the abandoned mounds of earth, there isn't a soul in sight.

All the excavators were shut down, lying rusted in the mud, looking no different from a pile of scrap metal.

"Brother Liu... well, the brothers haven't been paid for three days."

A henchman with a scar on his face approached Bald Liu somewhat nervously, his hand still fiddling with something in his pocket.

"roll!"

Bald Liu grabbed the account book from the table and smashed it over Liu's head.

The henchman shrank back, not daring to speak, but he didn't leave either.

The sand quarry is now generating no income whatsoever; all the customers have vanished.

Even the accountant whom Bald Liu trusted most ran away with the last 10,000 yuan in cash from the safe in the middle of the night yesterday.

Bald Liu looked at the shards of porcelain scattered on the ground, panting heavily, feeling as if a fire was burning in his chest.

That was humiliation, the kind of extreme anger that comes from being kicked from the clouds into a cesspool.

He dominated this area for ten years.

Everyone who sees him must bow and call him "Master Liu".

But now, even when he goes to town to eat a bowl of noodles, people point and whisper about him.

"Isn't that Bald Liu? I heard he got bankrupted by those young guys from Jiangjia Village?"

Those gossips, like knives, tore his pitiful self-esteem to shreds.

"Cut off my source of income..."

Bald Liu squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth, his face trembling violently with a ferocious expression.

"Cutting off one's source of income is like killing one's parents!"

He turned his head and stared intently at the scarred henchman.

"Go, bring over those guys who've had blood on their hands."

"Tonight, I'm going to show Jiang Chen that there are some kinds of money he can't swallow!"

It's 1 a.m.

On the provincial highway outside Qinghe Town, it was so quiet that even the chirping of insects sounded ominous.

Two Wuling vans with their license plates removed, like two ghosts, silently slid into the perimeter of Hongda Building Materials Factory.

The car door was slid open.

Bald Liu jumped down with five desperate men.

These people were all masked, carrying heavy solid iron bars in their hands, and huge red plastic buckets on their backs.

It was filled to the brim with low-quality gasoline.

"Brother Liu, are we really going to make this big?"

One of the henchmen looked at the Hongda main control building in the distance, which gleamed silver in the moonlight, his voice trembling slightly.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Bald Liu pulled a black folding knife from his pocket, his eyes filled with malice.

"That piece of junk is worth hundreds of millions."

"If a single fire were set, all those delicate monitors and cables would be reduced to scrap plastic!"

"As soon as this factory shuts down, Jiang Chen will have to obediently come back and beg me to sell him sand!"

"Hurry up! The 10,000 yuan resettlement allowance has already been transferred to your families. After the deal is done, each of you will receive another 20,000 yuan!"

Under the reward, there must be a brave man.

The desperados licked their lips, their fear instantly replaced by greed.

They skillfully avoided the searchlights at the main gate and quietly crept up a wall overgrown with weeds on the west side of the factory area.

"Brother Liu, look! There isn't even a single patrolman. Jiang Chen is far too arrogant."

One of the henchmen, who had been observing from the top of the wall for a long time, was beaming with delight.

The factory area was pitch black, with no movement except for a few streetlights high up.

Even Wang Dagou's loud voice couldn't be heard.

"Hmph, he's just a nouveau riche, thinking he's invincible just because he has two broken machines."

Bald Liu flipped over and landed lightly in the yard.

"Go! Go to those blue, gleaming control cabinets and pour all the gasoline on them!"

Several people crouched low, like a few mice, and quickly rushed towards the core workshop.

One hundred meters.

Fifty meters.

The enormous, futuristic quantum harmonic crusher was right in front of us.

Bald Liu had already unscrewed the cap of the gasoline can, a sinister grin spreading across his face.

Just a second after he lifted the oil drum, preparing to pour it down.

sudden--!

There was no warning whatsoever.

The factory area, which was originally as dark as an abyss, suddenly burst into an extremely dazzling, scarlet light in an instant!

The light was so bright that it caused Bald Liu and his companions to experience temporary blindness.

Followed by.

A piercing, high-pitched alarm, seemingly capable of shattering eardrums, instantly broke through the night sky.

[WARNING! Unidentified creatures have been detected illegally invading the core protected area!]

Security Level: Highest!

The counterattack has been initiated!

The cold, mechanical electronic sounds echoed through the empty factory, carrying a chill that sent shivers down one's spine.

"Damn it! What's going on?!"

Bald Liu screamed, dropped the oil drum in his hand, and instinctively tried to cover his eyes.

But before he could react...

Above the head.

Dozens of tiny drones, no bigger than the palm of your hand, entirely black and flashing red dots, swooped down silently like a swarm of wasps released from their cages.

"Sizzle—!"

A faint blue light flashed.

The scarred henchman running at the front suddenly trembled violently, and his whole body collapsed to the ground like a piece of charcoal.

The gasoline can in his hand rolled a long way away.

"There's...there's electricity!"

Bald Liu roared in terror.

He turned around and tried to run away.

But when he turned around, he froze.

In the shadows behind him, five monstrous figures dressed in all-black tactical vests and gas masks had somehow blocked their escape route.

That wasn't an ordinary security guard.

Those were the military-grade AI security androids that Jiang Chen automatically delivered after purchasing the factory.

Their eyes were devoid of warmth, containing only cold, impersonal data streams.

One of the androids gently raised its hand, palm facing bald Liu.

In the palm of his hand.

A blue spot of light was rapidly condensing, and the surrounding air seemed to be compressed by this energy, making a distorted sound.

"No...don't fire! I surrender! I surrender!"

Bald Liu's knees buckled, and he could no longer hold on, collapsing onto the dusty cement floor.

He felt a chill in his crotch, and a foul odor instantly filled the air.

Just then.

The door to the control room in the distance slowly opened.

Jiang Chen, dressed in pajamas and holding a tablet computer, walked out unhurriedly.

Behind him followed Wang Dagou, who was excitedly rubbing his hands together, eager to get started.

Jiang Chen looked at the bald Liu, who was trembling like a leaf on the ground.

He smiled, his smile appearing especially gentle under the red light.

"Bald Liu, I've been waiting for you for so long."

"I was worried because the back mountain of the Changsheng Base needs to be quarried and we need a few skilled workers who don't need to be paid."

"Look at you, you've practically delivered yourself to my doorstep!"

Jiang Chen tapped the tablet lightly with his finger.

A complex electronic contract with various restrictive clauses appears on the screen.

"Come on, sign the document."

"Starting tomorrow, you will have a special spot in the quarry in Jiangjia Village."

As Bald Liu stared at the words on the screen, the fear in his eyes finally broke free.

That was... a decade of unpaid labor reform.

He was not reconciled.

His bloodshot eyes were fixed on Jiang Chen.

"Jiang Chen... just kill me! If you keep going like this, someone will take care of you sooner or later!"

"Will someone take me in?"

Jiang Chen leaned down and looked at Bald Liu.

"Before that person arrives, you'll probably have to learn how to pick up tens of thousands of tons of sand with your bare hands."

Jiang Chen straightened up and walked back without looking back.

"take away."

"Be gentle, don't damage my 'free equipment'."

Wang Dagou walked forward laughing and grabbed Bald Liu's shiny scalp.

"Baldy, come with me, I'll show you your new dorm!"

Screams echoed over the building materials factory.

But this is just the beginning.

Jiang Chen glanced at the system notification.

[Ding! Security system successfully defended against initial attack! Intruder detected signs of being directed by external forces...]

[New clue updated: Provincial capital, Zhao family?]

Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes.

It seems that if we want to build the longevity base smoothly, we still need to go to the provincial capital and make a fuss again.
