Courtyard Houses: From Families of Martyrs and Orphans to Giants of the Times

Chapter 71 Caught Red-Handed! The Corrupt Official Hiding in the Machinery Factory

In a guesthouse room.

The system notification has just sounded.

Lin Jian'an sat up in bed instantly.

His eyes were frighteningly sharp.

The target is approaching the equipment workshop.

[Evidence destruction probability: 92%]

I saw these two lines of prompts.

Lin Jian'an smiled instead.

I waited all day.

The fish finally took the bait.

If Wang Zhiyuan had just stayed put...

That makes them harder to catch.

After all, many things are just suspicions.

But now.

The other party took the initiative.

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 202ᴋᴋs.ᴄᴏᴍ]

That would change the nature of the situation.

The man on the bed next to him opened his eyes groggily.

"master?"

"What's wrong?"

Lin Jian'an put on his coat.

"Come out with me."

Banggeng immediately perked up.

"Catch the bad guys?"

Lin Jian'an smiled.

"You're quick on the uptake, kid."

Banggeng rolled over and jumped off the bed.

They didn't even bother to put their shoes on properly.

"I'm going too!"

A few minutes later.

The two quietly left the guesthouse.

The machine factory was very quiet at night.

Only a few streetlights in the distance emitted a dim yellow light.

The system navigation keeps refreshing.

Lin Jian'an followed the instructions and continued forward.

They soon arrived near the core workshop.

Far away.

Sure enough, a dark figure was seen sneaking towards the factory.

It was Wang Zhiyuan.

Banggeng's eyes widened immediately.

"It really is him!"

Lin Jian'an made a shushing gesture.

The two of them quietly followed.

The factory gate slowly opened.

Wang Zhiyuan looked around.

After confirming that no one was there.

Only then did he slip inside.

A few minutes later.

Lin Jianan and Bang Geng also arrived at the door.

Looking inside through the window.

Wang Zhiyuan had already opened the equipment control cabinet.

He was holding tools in his hand.

They are disassembling something.

Banggeng couldn't help but mutter a curse under his breath:

"Oh shit."

"That bastard is definitely up to something."

Lin Jian'an, however, did not rush in.

Because it's not enough yet.

Arresting people requires evidence.

The perpetrators must be caught red-handed.

Otherwise, the other party can simply deny it.

Just then.

The system prompted again.

Key evidence discovered

The target is being shifted to the control chip.

[Evidence completeness: 95%]

Lin Jian'an's heart stirred.

almost.

next second.

He pushed open the factory gate directly.

boom!

A tremendous sound instantly reverberated throughout the workshop.

Wang Zhiyuan trembled with fear.

The tools in my hand almost fell to the ground.

When you see who it is.

His face turned deathly pale instantly.

"Director Lin...?"

"Why are you here?"

Lin Jian'an slowly approached.

My gaze fell on the parts in his hand.

"That's the question I should be asking you."

"late at night."

"What are you doing?"

Wang Zhiyuan's forehead began to sweat.

"I……"

"I'll check the equipment."

Bang Geng almost burst out laughing.

"Check the equipment?"

"An inspection in the middle of the night?"

"Are you kidding me?"

Wang Zhiyuan's expression grew increasingly grim.

He forced himself to say:

"There's something wrong with the equipment."

"I am the head of the installation team."

"Of course we have to take responsibility."

Lin Jian'an remained silent.

Instead, he simply reached out his hand.

"Give it to me."

Wang Zhiyuan was taken aback.

"What?"

"What you're holding."

boom!

Wang Zhiyuan's expression changed instantly.

Because of what he was holding in his hand.

It is the device control chip.

It is also one of the most important pieces of evidence.

Once discovered.

Many things are difficult to explain.

Thinking about this...

Wang Zhiyuan suddenly gritted his teeth.

He turned and ran.

Holy crap!

The joke was so funny it left everyone speechless.

"Are you really running?"

Lin Jianan was prepared.

He charged forward in one swift motion.

Now, the system has been strengthened.

His physical abilities far exceed those of ordinary people.

In just a few seconds.

He then caught up with Wang Zhiyuan.

boom!

Kick out.

Wang Zhiyuan fell flat on his face.

The chip in his hand also flew out.

The stick immediately pounced on it.

Hold the other person down firmly.

"run?"

Keep running!

"I knew you weren't a good person!"

Wang Zhiyuan struggled desperately.

But they couldn't break free at all.

Just then.

Hurried footsteps could be heard outside.

It turned out that the commotion had alerted the security guard on duty.

soon.

Li Guofeng also arrived.

When I saw the scene before me.

He was completely stunned.

"What's going on?"

Lin Jianan picked up the chip.

handed over.

"Director Li."

"The person you're looking for."

"Found it."

boom!

Li Guofeng's body trembled.

He stared intently at Wang Zhiyuan.

"Is it really you?"

Wang Zhiyuan's face turned deathly pale.

Can't say a word.

Half an hour later.

The factory conference room was brightly lit.

Security Department.

Factory leaders.

Head of the technical department.

Everyone was present.

The atmosphere was terribly oppressive.

Various pieces of evidence were laid out on the table.

Including the control chip.

Toolbox.

And deleted device records.

Faced with irrefutable evidence.

Wang Zhiyuan finally broke down.

"I'll say it!"

"I'll tell you everything!"

As soon as those words were spoken...

The entire conference room fell silent instantly.

Li Guofeng's face turned ashen.

"explain!"

"Why do you do that?"

Wang Zhiyuan kept his head down.

Hoarseness.

"Because I'm not convinced."

"You disagree?"

Li Guofeng was so angry he laughed.

"Just because of that?"

Wang Zhiyuan suddenly looked up.

His eyes were bloodshot.

"Why should I?!"

"Why is Gu Mingyuan qualified to be the chief engineer?"

"Why do others get promoted and receive a raise?"

"I've been doing this for over ten years."

"We got nothing!"

Am I worse than them?

The conference room erupted in uproar.

No one expected this.

The reason is so outrageous.

Wang Zhiyuan continued:

"Later, someone found me."

"As long as I create a little trouble."

"Just give me the money."

boom!

As soon as those words were spoken...

Everyone's expression changed instantly.

Are there others?

Li Guofeng suddenly stood up.

"Who?"

Wang Zhiyuan gritted his teeth.

Finally, he uttered a name.

"Liu Yongsheng".

Upon hearing this name...

Many leaders' expressions changed drastically.

Because Liu Yongsheng is none other than someone else.

He was the deputy director of another machinery factory in Tianjin.

It is also a competitor of the Third Machinery Plant.

Li Guofeng's fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

"asshole!"

He finally understood.

Why have there been so many problems in the last six months?

It turns out someone was behind it all.

Moreover, they are competing factories.

The situation escalated instantly.

The security department immediately took over the investigation.

Wang Zhiyuan was taken away directly.

Before leaving.

He looked as if he had aged ten years.

His gaze toward Lin Jian'an was filled with complex emotions.

"I just want to know."

"How exactly did you find out?"

Lin Jian'an smiled.

"Because machines don't lie."

Wang Zhiyuan fell completely silent.

They were then led out of the conference room.

The matter has come to an end.

A system notification tone then sounded.

【Ding! 】

[Level A Mission Completed]

[Hongxing Machinery Factory's progress increased by 15%]

Current progress: 50%

boom!

Lin Jian'an's heart skipped a beat.

Fifty percent!

The construction of the machinery factory is finally more than halfway complete!

at the same time.

In the system repository.

A large number of technical drawings emerged.

CNC machine tools.

Automatic control system.

Precision machining equipment.

Each one is priceless.

Once the future is realized.

Hongxing Machinery Factory is about to undergo a qualitative change.

The next morning.

Equipment maintenance has officially begun.

Because the key evidence has been preserved.

Lin Jian'an had no more scruples.

Repair it directly.

The problem is actually not complicated.

The real problem is that parameters are tampered with by humans.

With the assistance of system scanning.

Less than two hours.

The device restarted.

Rumbling--

The enormous machine began to operate.

All the data skyrocketed.

Stablize!

normal!

Running at full capacity!

Thunderous applause erupted in the workshop.

It worked!

The large equipment, which had been shut down for three days, has finally resumed operation!

The workers were so excited their faces turned red.

Li Guofeng held Lin Jian'an's hands tightly.

"Director Lin."

"You saved our entire factory!"

"From now on, the Third Machinery Plant will be Hongxing Repair Station's most steadfast partner!"

This is not just a polite remark.

It is genuine.

The head of the technical department next to him also looked on with admiration.

"Director Lin."

"If we encounter technical problems in the future..."

"We've been looking for you."

Everyone burst into laughter.

The atmosphere was incredibly lively.

And just then...

The system prompt appeared again.

【Ding! 】

Establishing long-term cooperative relationships

Tianjin Third Machinery Factory becomes a strategic partner.

[Reward points: 5000]

[Industrial Reputation Enhanced]

Special talent detected

Lin Jian'an's heart skipped a beat.

Another talented person?

next second.

The system interface expands.

A young figure came into view.

Name: Xu Weidong

Age: 24

[Technical Level: 88]

[Talent: CNC Programming]

Loyalty Potential: 95

Status: Talented but Unappreciated

boom!

Lin Jian'an's eyes lit up immediately.

CNC programming talent!

This is a key figure in the future development of industry.

And he's only twenty-four years old.

There is huge potential for development.

Just then.

A young engineer walked over with a cup of tea.

He looked somewhat reserved.

"Director Lin."

"Have some water."

Lin Jian'an took the teacup.

Looking at the young man in front of him.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly.

The people displayed by the system.

It was him.

Xu Weidong.

It seems this trip to Tianjin...

There's been another new harvest.

Meanwhile.

Far away in Beijing.

The Hongxing Repair Station also welcomed a special guest.

A military green jeep slowly pulled up at the entrance.

Two officers disembarked.

One of them was holding a document.

Look at the repair shop sign.

His expression was serious.

"This is it."

"The military region project team has been officially established."

"The commander sent us to pick up Comrade Lin Jian'an."

"This mission."

"It's probably not that simple."

Done.

He slowly opened the top-secret file in his hand.

The first page prominently displays several large characters.

[New Military Communication Equipment Development Program]

And then there's the security classification level.
