Rotting Land: Survive

Chapter 706 - 694: Taking Over

He Lei’s counterattack truly caught Huang Yong off guard: "He Lei, don’t twist things around, we’re talking about your issue now. Just confess, are you the one who incited the young master to leave the Factory?"

"Screw you, bastard. I’m twisting things around? I think you’re just feeling guilty. Do you have any idea what the young master came to me saying about your problem? Humph, the young master said that you fucking kidnapped his girlfriend. He couldn’t find evidence to act against you, so he came to me to see if there were any solutions."

Huang Yong’s heart skipped a beat; his worst fears had indeed materialized. But he reacted quickly, pointing at He Lei with a raised voice, questioning, "So you used this opportunity to get the young master out of the Factory?"

"Humph!" Huang Yong only showed a hint of emotion for a moment, but even that brief instant was enough for the intentional He Lei to catch him. It seemed the former was likely involved with Li Huiru, and He Lei, aware, wouldn’t miss this excellent opportunity. He sneered as he pushed aside Huang Yong’s finger pointing at him, saying, "I got the young master out of the Factory? Then tell me, how does getting the young master out of the Factory benefit me? And if something happens to the young master, I won’t need my head, right? It’s you who should explain what you did with the young master’s girlfriend!"

"Fuck, He Lei, don’t falsely accuse me! Why would I mess with the young master’s girlfriend? You fucking apologize immediately!"

"Getting anxious? Humph, I think you’re guilty. The entire Factory’s security is under your command, Huang Yong. If you didn’t authorize it, how could Li Huiru disappear from the Factory? Even if you didn’t abduct Li Huiru, you’re undeniably involved."

"Fuck you, He Lei!" Huang Yong, rendered speechless, could only raise his fist, ready to fight desperately.

"Enough!"

"Bang!" Liu Fugui, who had been silent, slammed the wooden table. He was genuinely furious now: "Shut your mouths, aren’t things chaotic enough already?"

He Lei, fully prepared and with solid reasoning, appeared exceptionally composed. After Liu Fugui’s angry shout, he immediately took a step back: "Sorry, Mr. Liu, my words might have been a bit rash just now, but this concerns the young master. Some things need to be voiced. Recently, the young master has indeed visited frequently, but the topics he discusses revolve around Li Huiru, showing his considerable concern for Miss Li. As for what Huang Yong did, I think you’re the one who’s most aware, and I’m sure the young master left largely to find Miss Li. So, Huang Yong, at this critical moment, you’d better tell the truth to help us quickly find the young master."

Huang Yong, besides insisting on his non-involvement, indeed lacked other arguments. After all, he managed everything in the Factory, and now he couldn’t even shirk responsibility: "Mr. Liu, don’t believe He Lei’s nonsense; he’s trying to divert the topic and evade responsibility. The young master surely left the Factory after hearing his instigating words."

Liu Fugui’s mind was already a chaotic mess, distressed by Liu Yunpeng’s departure. He Lei’s claims adding Li Huiru into the mix only worsened it.

The most critical aspect was that the team handling Li Huiru’s outing hadn’t returned yet. If they truly encountered misfortune, it’s one thing, but...

While worrying whether Li Huiru was still alive, Liu Fugui also lamented how his son could be so foolish to act this way for a woman.

He Lei, noticing Liu Fugui’s silence, proposed: "Alright, Mr. Liu, finding the young master is the top priority now. If you agree, I’ll drive out immediately to pursue the young master!"

"Humph, don’t be deceived, Mr. Liu. He Lei wants to flee when the truth comes out. Don’t fall for it. I’ll go to chase the young master."

Their argument only fueled Liu Fugui’s irritation, whose patience wore thin: "Stop arguing, who gave you the right to tell me what to do?"

Upon Liu Fugui’s words, He Lei immediately shut his mouth, while Huang Yong fumed silently. He knew that if He Lei weren’t scheming, he would be anything but calm, flying into a rage with his usual temper. Why couldn’t Mr. Liu see this obvious point?

"Huang Yong, go and make sure to bring Yunpeng back!"

"Mr. Liu, but this..."

"Silence!" Liu Fugui interrupted He Lei’s attempts to argue further. Huang Yong, with a triumphant look at He Lei, realized Mr. Liu wasn’t fooled: "Mr. Liu, rest assured, I’ll do my best to bring the young master back."

Huang Yong naively thought Liu Fugui had seen through He Lei’s conspiracy, appointing him to leave the Factory. Little did he know, Liu Fugui’s muddled emotions clouded his judgment, sending Huang Yong instead due to concerns about He Lei’s volatile demeanor exacerbating the situation.

With Huang Yong sent off, only Cheng Lei and He Lei remained. Liu Fugui, utterly weary, glanced at He Lei still by his side, contemplating: "He Lei, from now on, you’re responsible for handling the Factory’s security."

"Yes, Mr. Liu, but Huang Yong always managed it before. I’m afraid..."

"Here, take it. If anyone questions you, contact me directly. That’s enough; solve the rest yourself. I’m exhausted; you may leave." Liu Fugui handed He Lei a hand-held radio from the drawer, waving him off irritably.

Having reached his goal, He Lei didn’t bother wasting time in the room further. He had plenty still to do. After his departure and closing the door, he took a deep breath, realizing things were going smoother than anticipated.

Standing at the window, watching the SUV carrying Huang Yong leave the Factory, he cursed silently, hoping the kid gets into trouble and never returns.

The entire Factory was thrown into chaos by Liu Yunpeng’s departure, leaving everyone anxious. They all knew if anything happened to Liu Fugui’s beloved son, none of them would escape scrutiny.

Amidst this panic, He Lei emerged. With Liu Fugui’s authorization, he began taking over Huang Yong’s previous duties. To everyone’s surprise, He Lei, upon succeeding, abandoned his typically violent demeanor and even kindly reassured the staff not to worry, promising to shoulder any issues.

Soon, He Lei stabilized the situation, quickly bonding with the crew, effortlessly winning most people’s favor. (To be continued.
