Chapter 242 Catching Apricots
"What?" The group rushed to the factory, where the security department was already waiting.
To be honest, Hu Die thought no one would be interested in her factory anymore.
After all, when the factory was first established, quite a few people had reached out to help.
When Hu Die received the production line sent by Lin Liuyi, she was also shocked. Who would have thought that such a huge production line was contained in a small necklace?
Lin Liuyi had no choice; the thing was too big, so Princess Mingyue could only put it into her spatial necklace.
Lin Liuyi even specifically asked the system if Hu Die could receive it before sending it to her.
Hu Die did not disappoint Lin Liuyi. She directly asked the commander for a group of people, saying that they were smuggled over by her friends abroad, which dispelled the commander's doubts.
"Butterfly, how did you get this huge box in here?" The commander walked around the box.
"These were all gifts from my friends," Hu Die'er racked her brains to come up with an excuse.
Then, as Lin Liuyi had instructed, she placed her hand on the side of the box with the tag on it.
The box door opened automatically, three-quarters of the way.
The interior was pitch black under the torchlight, resembling a monster with its mouth wide open, and no one dared to make a move.
Hu Die touched the remaining quarter on the left side, lit up a screen, and found the activation mode.
Instantly, a burst of light erupted from inside the box.
The commander, his men, and his wives were utterly shocked. What was this thing? It was as bright as day inside. The commander looked up at the sky and realized, "That's right, the moon is hanging in the sky now."
Hu Die was also shocked. Lin Liuyi said that there was electricity in it, but how come it was so much brighter than their electric lights, and it was white light.
After calming herself down, Hu Die went inside, followed by the Marshal and his wives.
The production lines inside the factory were neatly arranged, and the steel gleamed sharply under the fluorescent lights.
"Butterfly, why is this light different from ours?" The commander and his men now had electricity, but the lights were a dim, yellowish kind, unlike the incandescent lights in the factory, which seemed to turn night into day.
How could this be explained? Hu Die could only blame it all on her foreign friends.
Little did they know, the Marshal and his wives were all thinking to themselves, no wonder so many people wanted to study abroad, to see how good their things were, even their lights were brighter than theirs.
It can only be said that this is a misunderstanding.
Hu Die led them on a tour and they discovered that all the boxes were connected, and each one had a different production line. The machines for feeding materials, making, and packaging were all different. Lin Liu even provided a machine for making lipstick boxes.
Hu Die nodded repeatedly; it seemed she could start recruiting workers.
The commander and his men nodded in approval. The foreign machines were indeed impressive, and they were quite thoughtful in their design.
After it was agreed that workers would be selected first from the families of the general's soldiers, the rest of the factory had to be built, the most important of which was the perimeter wall.
Fortunately, the commander and his men arrived at night, so they didn't attract anyone else's attention.
Only after the factory was built and the shop's business was on track did people notice the factory.
It wasn't that no one was interested in the factory; Hu Die had already asked the warlord for a group of people to protect it.
"How many have we arrested now?" The security guards asked, looking at the person being dragged in by his colleague.
"The third one! I never imagined that so many thieves would be eyeing our little factory!"
"Look how good their business is! Just a tiny tube of lipstick costs so many dollars! I bought one for my wife last time, and she was so happy!" a soldier boasted.
"Alright, alright, so you're the only one with a wife, huh!"
"Stop talking, it looks like the captain caught another one!"
"After we find out who ordered it, we'll send him to the police station." The security guard said as he tied the man to a chair.
The thief was trembling with fear, muttering, "I was wrong, I was just greedy for a moment."
Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out outside.
It turned out that two thieves had come together this time. The security guards successfully caught one, but the other, unaware of what was happening, broke through the encirclement and headed towards the boxes on the production line.
To everyone's surprise, the thief was electrocuted and rendered unconscious the moment he touched the box.
The other security personnel were also startled; why hadn't anyone told them that the box was a weapon?
They dragged the unconscious thief away, still boasting about the box's power.
Everyone gasped when they saw the thief still twitching occasionally while unconscious. When they heard that the thief had been taken to the hospital and woke up with a crooked mouth and eyes and was incontinent, they dared not go near the production line at all.
After word got out, some people didn't believe it. The security guards, following orders, deliberately let a few people in, and those people got what they wanted. After that, no one dared to sneak near the factory again.
Hu Die was somewhat surprised when she first heard that a thief had broken into the factory.
When they arrived, Hu Die and the others were even more surprised to see the thief.
Anzu Murakami!
Hu Die was speechless. She began to wonder if she was overestimating her by considering such a person as an opponent, and also wondered if she herself had come here as a thief.
"Splash her awake!" Hu Die ordered the soldiers to splash the person who had been electrocuted to wake her up.
In fact, after stunning the thieves several times and gradually stopping them from coming, Hu Die turned down the power supply around the box; she had no choice but to save electricity.
Although Lin Liuyi said that these exterior walls are powered by solar energy, we should save money wherever possible.
The moment Murakami Kyoko woke up, she found herself tied up, with Hu Die and the others standing in front of her.
"I, you, you've broken the law! If the commander finds out, he won't let you off!" Xingzi struggled for a long time but couldn't break free.
"Don't waste your energy! It's illegal! How dare you, a thief, say we're breaking the law!" Hu Die shook her head, as if she had heard a joke.
"that is!"
"So you're calling yourself the Marshal? The Marshal won't forgive you! You're just a concubine, and you've come here to steal. You're not enough of a disgrace to the Marshal's mansion! Bah!"
"I, I, who said I came here to be a thief!" Xingzi retorted stubbornly.
Even the sixth concubine couldn't stand what he said.
"Seventh Concubine, look at the clothes you're wearing! How dare you say you're not a thief!"
That's right, Xingzi was dressed in all black and covered her face with a handkerchief, a typical thief look. Otherwise, why would Hu Die be so surprised when she pulled down the handkerchief?
"The evidence is conclusive, so don't try to deny it. Tell me, what do you want to do at our factory!"
"I... I was just curious, I didn't mean it! We're all sisters, please let me go!" Seeing that she couldn't argue anymore, Xingzi tried to play the emotional card.
