Chapter 38: A Big Ruckus

The police station, at this moment, wasn’t that they didn’t want to go to the hospital to check on the situation.

The police station chief received a call from a higher-ranking leader, asking him to suppress the matter and release the people first!

It was a time of strict crackdown, and the situation was so serious, how could he dare?

The machinery factory was a huge factory with tens of thousands of workers, and Liu, the factory director, had a strong background and a wide network of connections.

Liu, the factory director, was furious when he learned about the situation last night, but what could he do? He couldn’t ignore his beloved grandson.

He contacted all the connections he could mobilize overnight, trying to get his grandson out first. He heard that he was also injured! The factory director was heartbroken.

As soon as dawn broke, Liu, the factory director, called the hospital.

He heard that the injuries were serious, but no one had died, and the factory director’s heart sank.

The victims were the employees of his factory, as long as no one died, he, the factory director, deserved some face, after all, he would still have to work at the machinery factory in the future.

Liu, the factory director, never thought that the other party wouldn’t give him face!

When he went to the hospital in the morning, he was startled by the group of people. He was a factory director, he shouldn’t face these barbarians head-on. If they got impulsive and beat him up, where would he go to reason with them?

So the factory director, after taking a tour of the hospital, went back to the factory to work.

His grandson hadn’t been released yet, he had to keep making connections!

While Liu, the factory director, was negotiating with various leaders,

The gatekeeper, in a panic, ran into the factory director’s office. He didn’t even knock on the door, he just barged in.

The factory director immediately frowned, he was still chatting with someone on the phone, he put down the phone and scolded the gatekeeper.

“Who told you to come in? What kind of behavior is this?”

The gatekeeper ignored the factory director’s angry face.

“Factory director, it’s not good, there are hundreds of people at the gate, they’re holding a banner and blocking the factory gate?”

“What? What kind of people dare to make a scene at our machinery factory? Are the security guards at the factory eating for nothing?” Liu, the factory director, was furious. Such an incident happening at the factory gate would have a huge impact on him! This was a major incident, if the higher-ups found out, he would be at least reprimanded, and at worst, he would lose his position.

The gatekeeper swallowed his saliva, “Factory director, the people holding the banner said they are the family members of the people who were wiped out by your grandson yesterday!”

A flock of crows flew over Liu, the factory director’s head. What the hell was wiped out? They just had a fight, how did it become a wipeout?

“What are you talking about? Don’t put a false label on it!” Liu, the factory director, shouted angrily at the gatekeeper. Although they wouldn’t be sent to a criticism session or anything like that now, it was a time of strict crackdown! If this big hat was put on them, wouldn’t it be the end of the Liu family?

The gatekeeper, who had been running in the cold winter, was sweating profusely. Seeing that the factory director was still putting on airs, he was speechless.

“Factory director, hundreds of people are shouting at the gate! Our security guards, there are only a dozen of them, they can’t handle it! You should go and take a look yourself!”

“Then call the police! Are they rebelling? This is a state-owned factory with tens of thousands of workers, we don’t allow anyone to make a scene here!”

The gatekeeper was speechless. If they could handle it, why would they report it to him?

Liu, the factory director, also realized that the situation was bad. He quickly picked up the phone and contacted the factory union, asking them to go out and appease the situation. If there was anything, they should send a representative to come in and talk, and the others should leave the factory gate as soon as possible.

The union members just went to the gate and saw hundreds of people surrounding the gate, the bright red banner was very eye-catching, an old couple was lying at the gate, and behind them knelt a large group of people.

The group of people were shouting slogans at the gate, Punish evil and promote good, uphold justice! Murderers must pay for their crimes! Punish the criminals severely!

Their heads were spinning, the factory director’s family had caused this mess, and now they were asked to solve it?

The union members didn’t dare to say no, they could only grit their teeth and go to the gate.

The crowd at the gate had grown even larger, many onlookers had come, they were all pointing and whispering at the gate.

The old man and old lady lay straight on the ground at the factory gate, with Li Mantun and several grandsons’ thick cotton coats underneath them.

They weren’t stupid, they didn’t want to catch a cold!

The old man was very satisfied with the crowd he had attracted along the way. He didn’t expect it to be so effective!

Now let’s see who dares to hush this up.

A dozen security guards stood at the gate, they didn’t dare to act tough with so many people, as long as they didn’t break into the factory.

The rest was up to the factory director!

The union members, gritting their teeth, arrived at the gate.

They walked up to the old couple, “Old folks, if you have something to say, come into our factory, it’s too cold here, don’t let yourselves catch a cold!”

“My son and grandson were killed by your factory director, what’s the point of me living? Let me go with my poor son and family!” The old lady lay on the ground, pounding the ground hard, her voice mournful!

The people around immediately became angry.

“Let your factory director come out, murderers must pay for their crimes, debtors must repay their debts, what kind of business is it for him to hide like a coward?”

The anger of the crowd was directed at the union members.

The union members were also afraid, but they couldn’t ignore the factory director’s instructions.

“Comrades, things need to be resolved, we’ll invite the two old folks inside to discuss this properly.” The union members tried to appease the crowd.

“It’s not the machinery factory’s business, what do you need to resolve? Did your machinery factory steal Liu’s private property?” Someone in the crowd questioned.

The union members felt like their necks were being choked. If you weren’t making a scene at the factory gate, why would we get involved?

“We’re not making things difficult for you, is Liu at work? Bring him out, we’ll send him to the police station! We’re not here to surround the machinery factory and affect its work.” Li Mantun looked righteous. They weren’t here to make a scene at the factory, they were here to find someone.

“Right! Bring Liu out, we don’t need the machinery factory to solve it, but if you, the machinery factory, stand in front of Liu to block us, the righteous people, then we’ll go all over the capital and ask, when did the machinery factory become Liu’s?” The people were very excited.

They had been here for so long, and the only people who came out were the union members, and they wanted to take the old man and old lady inside. What for?

To threaten? To intimidate?

They didn’t take the people at all! No wonder they could raise a grandson who wiped out a whole family!

The machinery factory was too arrogant, under the emperor’s feet, a factory director dared to be so arrogant! The people would never allow it.

The union members swallowed their saliva. The people were very excited, they wouldn’t listen to them, they demanded that the factory director come out and give an explanation and turn himself in to the police!

The old lady on the ground, as long as they made a sound, would cry and lament how tragically her son and family died!

The union members hadn’t heard from the factory director what exactly happened, they didn’t know if anyone had really died.

Looking at the scene in front of them, they felt that someone had really died! They couldn’t handle this! They should let the factory director solve it himself, if this happened, it was unknown whether the factory director could keep his position.

The union members appeased them a couple more times, then slunk back into the factory.

They called the factory director, they couldn’t handle this.

No matter how the factory director scolded them, they wouldn’t go out again!

The local police station and the government office called the factory director, asking him to quickly resolve the matter and eliminate the negative impact!

Liu, the factory director, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and paced around his office.

He was a little afraid to go out, he was afraid that these people would be irrational, wouldn’t he be the one to suffer? If the factory director was beaten up by a mob, how would he carry out his work in the future?
