Chapter 1832 Opening champagne at halftime, quite enjoyable.
The night was as dark as ink, and the pharmaceutical factory was immersed in tranquility. Only from the hotel construction site diagonally opposite, the occasional sound of people arguing while playing cards could be heard, which only made the place seem even more desolate.
The factory lights cast a dim, yellowish glow, outlining the factory buildings and research institutes.
In the northeast corner, near the wall surrounding the newly built sewage treatment pond, several dark figures approached stealthily, like ghosts.
It was Brother He and the two men he led. He was dressed in dark clothes for camouflage, and his face was expressionless, except for the scar at the corner of his eye, which looked even more ferocious in the light.
His men were all used to doing dirty work. One of them, bald, looked around and asked, "Brother He, is the target still the research institute today? Like last time?"
He turned around, glared at him fiercely, and suddenly reached out to press down on his shoulder. With a skillful twist, he pinched the man so hard that he cried out in pain and knelt on the ground.
"Did you not listen to a word I said on the way? All you were thinking about was getting money from Boss Sun and going to the Eight Great Hutongs to have some fun tonight?"
The bald man, realizing he was in the wrong, gritted his teeth, his face covered in cold sweat, and pleaded, "Brother He, I was wrong, I was wrong, please forgive me!"
The tall, thin man quickly stepped in to smooth things over, helping the bald man up. "Brother He, don't mind him! But isn't Boss Sun being a bit too hasty? We just got back from the Hongyan Hotel, and now he's making us run this factory. He doesn't even give us a chance to breathe. He's really heartless!"
Baldy quickly chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, Brother He, that's exactly what I meant! Li Xiangnan isn't stupid. We just took his stuff, so that kid's definitely on guard!"
Brother He swept his cold gaze over the two men and said in a low voice, "We do what the boss tells us to do. We, as the 'knife,' don't need to think about the reasons for doing things. Why all the nonsense!"
He paused, seemingly trying to bolster his own courage, his sharp gaze sweeping across the silent factory area. "Li Xiangnan's men are currently focused on the Hongyan Hotel. At this time, the factory area is actually the most vulnerable! If we don't act now, are we going to wait until he returns tomorrow and strengthens security before making a move? Idiots!"
Despite saying that, he was still cautious out of habit and preferred to be careful.
Instead of choosing the research institute that was easy to climb last time, they found the relatively secluded wall behind the sewage treatment pond, squatted down, and leaned against the wall to listen to the sounds coming from inside the factory.
After confirming that there were no problems, he took out a special eagle claw hook and a special sound-dampening pad from the toolbox, skillfully swung the hook to grab the top of the wall, and pulled it to test its sturdiness.
"You two, keep a close eye on them!"
Brother He was still worried about his two men. After giving them a few instructions, he moved like a cat, reached out and wrapped the grappling hook rope around himself, and silently climbed up the three-meter-high wall. When he landed, not even a speck of dust was kicked up.
The factory area remained as empty as ever.
The newly installed transformer box was located not far from the sewage treatment pond, gleaming with a cold, silvery-gray light under the moonlight.
Instead of acting immediately, Brother He used the shadows of the wall and building materials as cover to slowly approach.
At the same time, he cautiously scanned his surroundings, his ears perked up, catching any unusual sounds.
Everything was normal; it was so quiet that only his own heartbeat could be heard.
This excessive silence amplified the vague unease that was lurking in Brother He's heart.
But he forced himself to suppress his unease. He thought that although Li Xiangnan was powerful, no matter how smart he was, he couldn't have predicted that they would come and destroy the factory overnight after they got the catalyst, let alone set up ambushes everywhere in such a large factory.
Logically speaking, the catalytic enzyme has traveled a long way to get here, so Mr. Li must be very nervous. Even after the celebration banquet tonight, he will definitely check the refrigerator, and then he will find that someone has tampered with his things...
Li Xiangnan is probably still being held back at the Hongyan Hotel!
With that thought, Brother He relaxed, went to the transformer box, and after confirming that no one had noticed, quickly put on insulated gloves, took out a crowbar and a specially made small device that could cause a short circuit and start a fire.
After preparing everything, he precisely inserted the crowbar into the door crack, even finding the perfect angle, striving to get it done with minimal noise.
In a corner of the factory area, inside a seemingly casually parked Jeep, Li Xiangnan, Guo Qian, and several police officers were intently watching.
Wang Defa pressed his face against the car window, staring intently at Brother He through the glass, and muttered under his breath, "That son of a bitch, he really came to cause trouble. Little Li, you're a damn fortune teller!"
Li Xiangnan's expression was stern. He reached out and pressed down Defa, who was about to rush out and beat someone up. He reminded Guo Qian beside him, "Captain Guo, let's wait a bit longer. Let's wait until he starts messing with the sewage pipes and gets closer to us before we make our move. Don't let him get away!"
The treatment tank is closer to the group than the transformer box, which would maximize the chances of He Ge not escaping should an operation be launched.
He Ge naturally thought the same way: take advantage of the absence of people to deal with the distant ones first, then do the closer ones, so that it would be easier to get away.
Outside the wall, the bald man and the skinny man who were keeping watch were initially nervously watching their surroundings. However, as time went on, there was no movement from the cranes inside the factory area. Only by carefully listening could they barely make out the metallic friction sound made by Brother He.
The two relaxed their guard and even whispered about which prostitute they should look for in the Eight Great Hutongs that night.
Inside the factory area, Brother He had successfully taken care of the transformer box casing and was now installing the short-circuit device.
They made a lot of these devices to make it easier for people like Sun Qisheng to do things.
After completing the task with practiced ease, he packed up his things and began to retreat. He arrived at the newly built sewage treatment pond and his eyes locked onto several newly laid key valve pipes marked with important red markings.
He squatted down and took out tools from his toolbox, preparing to sabotage the control valve of Li Xiangnan's main sewage pipe.
Once this thing is destroyed, it's a one-time use item.
When Li Xiangnan's factory starts operating, even during the initial wastewater trial run, any change in pressure will cause the wastewater mixed with untreated waste to immediately burst through the valves and leak, resulting in serious environmental pollution.
Then, Li Xiangnan's winter will arrive as promised!
Thinking of this, Brother He couldn't help but feel a little smug.
The sabotage tonight was quite successful; once this valve is fixed, we can call it a day.
All this time, they've been targeting Li Xiangnan's factory, stealing the mother liquor, poisoning him with rodenticide, stealing his samples, and now this sabotage tonight—and that kid hasn't noticed a thing!
This made Brother He feel contempt and disdain for Li Xiangnan.
He even casually pulled out a cigarette, lit it with a match, and while smoking, looked for a wrench to shut off the valve.
Opening champagne at halftime was quite enjoyable.
He even imagined the scene of the top courtesan of Lichun Pavilion lying in his arms and acting coquettishly at night, and a lewd smile couldn't help but curl up at the corner of his mouth.
But just as his wrench was about to touch the valve!
tom!
Suddenly, a huge spotlight turned on, and several beams of white light illuminated his entire body, causing him to lose his senses for a moment and his brain to shut down!
"Don't move!"
"public security!"
"Put your hands up!"
"???"
