Chapter 82 There is a face on the window
Zhao Xiaohai clenched his fists, pursed his lips tightly, and his eyes revealed a firmness that was difficult for others to understand.
I asked, "I heard from others that people who work at Lvcheng Electronics Factory regularly remit money to their family members' accounts. Have you received it?"
"No." Zhao Xiaohai shook his head dejectedly, "The last time my brother and I talked was on the day he went for the interview. He happily told me that he passed the interview and joined the company that day. In the evening, the phone call couldn't be reached."
"At first I thought it was because my phone was out of battery, so I didn't pay much attention to it. I tried calling after a few days, but the call still couldn't be reached."
"I felt a little uneasy, but my brother told me that the factory is under closed management and you can't answer the phone while working, so I sent him a few text messages, thinking that he would call me back when he was resting."
"But this wait is only two months. I can't wait any longer! I have a strong intuition that if I don't find my brother, something will happen to him!"
Zhao Xiaohai's eyes were full of uneasiness and worry.
Relatives are emotionally connected and it is common for others to have a premonition of something happening to one person. Brothers are united, and his instinct was right.
What's more, various clues have now confirmed that Greentown Electronics Factory is a factory with serious problems, and the people who work there never come back.
But that factory was too weird, and there were even "monsters" there. Even I wasn't sure about it, let alone a thin student with nothing?
I sighed slightly in my heart: "Have you ever thought that if you go to find your brother, you will be involved in it?"
"My parents passed away early, and we were a pair of orphans with no one to look after us. Before my brother graduated from elementary school, he went out to earn money for me to study. He left all the delicious food to me, and I was so thin that only my bones were left."
Zhao Xiaohai's eyes were red, and his face that had not completely faded away was full of stubbornness.
"My brother got into trouble because of me. If I leave him alone, am I still a human being? My brother has done enough for me over the years. Even if I die, I will save my brother!"
His brother was a child himself, but had to support another child. The hardships over the years were unimaginable. The two brothers depend on each other for life, and each is the other's only relative in the world. Perhaps this feeling and bond are greater than anything else.
I was moved in my heart and said, "I'm going to the factory too. If you can trust me, why don't we get together and take care of each other?"
"Brother Yunfeng, you are a good person. If you can take risks for your friends, I can trust you!" Zhao Xiaohai smiled, his teeth were very white.
"But the dangers in that factory may exceed your imagination, and what happens in it may also subvert your cognition. I hope you are mentally prepared." I looked at him and said solemnly, "I don't know how much I can help you. You have to Take care of yourself and don’t show off when you are in danger.”
"I understand, brother Yunfeng, don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble." Zhao Xiaohai said seriously.
Such children are much more sensible than their peers. I believe he really listened to what I said.
"Brother Yunfeng, I'm going to find a place to get the key and go to the factory office to look for clues." Zhao Xiaohai glanced at the time and said, "How about we talk while walking?"
"Okay, it's still early before dark anyway. The more clues we can collect, the better for us." I stood up with Wangcai in my arms, "You are very smart and know to investigate the factory first."
"I find solutions from movies and novels." Zhao Xiaohai smiled sheepishly and put the glasses case into his backpack, "By the way, I also called the factory's recruitment phone number, and the phone is open. They asked me for an interview tonight."
"Interview tonight? Where is it?"
"In that abandoned factory."
How can any company put the interview time in the evening? It's obviously unkind!
Zhang Jianming is dead, but Lvcheng Electronics Factory is still operating. It seems that he is not the real boss. Could it be the weird old man from Baozi Shop who is running all this behind the scenes?
While I was thinking about it, Wangcai suddenly screamed, jumped out of my arms, rushed to the window, and slapped his paw on the glass.
Snapped!
There was a blurry human face stuck on the frosted glass, and Wangcai was so frightened that he shrank back.
Someone eavesdropped? !
I walked forward quickly, opened the door, and looked outside.
The yard was empty, with no one around. The boss's aunt who was sitting outside picking vegetables didn't know where she went, leaving only the empty vegetable basket lying quietly on the ground.
The courtyard door was closed. During the conversation between Zhao Xiaohai and I, I didn't hear the aunt greeting anyone, which meant that no new people came in during this period.
And it only took a few seconds from the time I discovered that someone overheard me opening the door, and the eavesdropper had no time to run out.
"Brother Yunfeng, who is eavesdropping?" Zhao Xiaohai followed closely and frowned when he saw the empty yard.
"Either a boss, or a tenant like us."
"But we are the only two people staying here these two days." Zhao Xiaohai opened his eyes wide, "Is it Aunt Cao? Why did she eavesdrop?"
"I don't know." I looked toward the kitchen where there was a noise.
There were bursts of smoke rising from the kitchen, and it was already lunch time.
"Hey, you two are out? I was just going to call you. It's time for dinner. There's no restaurant here. Why don't you eat something at Auntie's place?"
Just in time, the short and fat Aunt Cao walked out of the kitchen wearing an apron with a warm and kind smile. There was no trace of embarrassment on her face that she might have been caught eavesdropping.
"No, we still have things to do and are getting ready to go out."
"No matter how urgent you are, you have to eat first!" Aunt Cao said with concern, "There is no restaurant nearby, and you have to walk a long way to eat. I have already prepared the meal, so don't be polite!"
Not allowing us to refuse, Aunt Cao turned around and went to the kitchen to serve rice.
Zhao Xiaohai said: "Aunt Cao doesn't look like a bad person. Maybe she was just passing by?"
I shook my head.
"I'm not passing by. That face is clearly pasted on the window. Besides, Wangcai is unmistakable. He is a cat with only intelligence."
"Is it so powerful?" Zhao Xiaohai looked at Wangcai in surprise.
Wangcai squatted on my shoulders and raised his bun-shaped face, his expression was always proud.
"Then are we still eating here?"
"You can't eat, and this place probably can't be lived in anymore. It's better to be careful in everything." I said cautiously.
"Okay, I'll go say hello to the aunt and tell her that we're in a hurry to find a job." Zhao Xiaohai nodded, still a little unwilling to believe it.
"My aunt is very nice. She knew I didn't have much money, so she gave me a 20% discount on my rent."
Just as he was about to enter the kitchen, Aunt Cao came out with the rice. Hearing that we were going out to find jobs in a hurry, she put the bowls down and spoke to us in a low voice.
"Actually, you don't have to go out, I can introduce you to a good one, with a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan, including food and accommodation!"
