Chapter 18 - Wrath

Qin Mu wasn't a child; in his rage, he still thought of a way to deal with the aftermath.

The smart system had bone conduction, so there was no need to speak aloud; just a light hum, and the smart system would hear your command.

"Xiao Yi, can you find the phone number of Old Wang?"

"Yes~"

"Tell him it's urgent, bring a team to the Tianlu Ferocious Beast Processing Plant!!!"

"Mhm mhm!"

Before his eyes.

The security guard was intimidated by Qin Mu's murderous Aura and immediately understood that the other party had taken a life: "Ahead, turn left ahead."

.Inside the Security Office.

Section Chief Zhang Zhi looked at Yang Ling with a sinister smile.

"Still not confessing? Why so stubborn? You were caught red-handed; the fierce beast meat that was produced by the factory was found in your locker."

"If you confess now how much meat you stole from the factory, we can still give you lenient treatment."

"Otherwise, hmph hmph!"

Zhang Zhi's triangular eyes twitched: "Once the Public Security Team arrives, just this package of meat is enough to lock you up for ten or eight years."

Yang Ling's face turned red, her eyes crimson as she indignantly said, "I've said it a hundred times; this package isn't mine. The meat inside isn't mine either. Someone framed me. Since arriving at work today, I haven't left the production line!

Hmph~?

"I see you won't shed tears until you see your coffin!"

Zhang Zhi sneered, his head nodding slightly, and a security guard brought someone in from outside the door.

"Sister Li. Sister Li?"

Yang Ling recognized the newcomer; it was the line leader from her own production line.

Sister Li's expression was calm, with no trace of emotion: "Section Chief Zhang, Yang Ling asked for 10 minutes to go to the restroom this morning, but she took 15 minutes to return to her workstation."

Buzz!

Yang Ling immediately felt dizzy: "Sister Li, why are you slandering me? I just had low blood sugar this morning, asked for five minutes to go out and drink water, and only used five minutes."

Bang!!

Zhang Zhi fisted the table:

"Well, well, well, do you ask for leave every day to go out and drink water, and then use that time to steal things!?"

"It seems this isn't your first day huh? Over the years, the several tons of fierce beast meat lost by the factory every month, was all stolen by you, right?"

Several tons?

Yang Ling almost vomited blood upon hearing this: "Section Chief Zhang, every day when going to and returning from work, the checking in the factory is so strict. Besides the clothes on the body, nothing can be taken in, no bags are allowed, all pockets have to be turned inside out, not even a palm-sized piece of meat can be taken out. You said several tons?"

Hey!

Section Chief Zhang gave Yang Ling a meaningful look: "Of course, you alone, being a woman, couldn't do it. So you have an accomplice."

"Such a dangerous job, ordinary people wouldn't do it for you."

"It must be someone from your family, right?"

"Having done it for so many years without being found by the security department, at least your accomplice at home must have good cultivation, a Martial Artist or Quasi-Martial Artist."

Sister Li heard this: "Yes, Yang Ling's son just became a Quasi-Martial Artist. It must be her son who helped her transport it."

You.!?

Cough, cough, cough~

When Yang Ling heard this, he completely despaired: "Sister Li, you. how can you make such a baseless accusation?"

Sister Li looked at Yang Ling as if she didn't know her:

"Don't try to get close to me. I only took you in out of pity back then. You're almost forty, and I even kept you during the factory layoffs. Is this how you repay me?"

"Our line loses production capacity every month, and I'm held accountable by the management. I never thought it was you. Truly, you can know a person's face but not their heart~!!"

Pfft!

Even if Yang Ling was stupid, by this time she understood everything.

"Heh heh."

"Layoffs? My wages are the lowest; they have not gone up in five years. Newcomers who do not know anything receive an hourly wage 3 points higher than mine. As for production capacity, I'm the highest on this line. Why would the factory lay me off?"

"As for the loss of production capacity on the line, we discussed it for a long time in private, and the only one who could access the warehouse was you. How hateful! I even told my colleagues these past few days that it was impossible."

Now she understood.

It wasn't impossible at all; she was clearly the one who did it. Now that the factory was holding people accountable, she was afraid of being investigated, so she framed herself first so she could take the blame.

"I want to report it!"

"The Public Security Team will definitely investigate thoroughly!

Hmph!

Zhang Zhi and Sister Li both snorted in unison.

"Report it? Today you either die here or you expose your son!

At this point.

Zhang Zhi took two steps forward, revealing an electric baton: "Yang Ling, to be frank with you, whether you confess today or not, you will confess."

"If you confess, the higher-ups said they will only pursue your son's responsibility and hand him over to the Public Security Team. You would at most be an accomplice, and the factory, considering your many years of service, wouldn't prosecute you."

"Otherwise, with so many tons of fierce beast meat, it won't just be imprisonment, but exile!

"You are a woman and have been exiled to the wilderness; you should know what kind of punishment that is, right? Being devoured alive by Vicious Beasts, that will be your fate!"

Xiao Mu?

Yang Ling did not know why Yang Zhi wanted to drag Xiao Mu into this.

Her son had just become a Quasi-Martial Artist; how could he be arrested for such a thing and have his future ruined?

"Impossible!"

Determination filled Yang Ling's eyes, and she gritted her teeth, enunciating every word: "If you want to frame me, I won't admit it, and it's even more impossible for me to frame my son!"

"Stubborn~" Sister Li spat, giving Zhang Zhi a look.

These two did seem particularly close.

Even a blind person could have told they were in cahoots inside the office, yet none of the security guards said anything.

Instead.

Everyone wore a mocking expression and stared at Yang Ling.

"Heh, I'm telling you, as a worker, you have to be sensible!" Zhang Zhi raised the electric baton: "If you're not sensible, I'll make you sensible today!"

Just then.

With a bang.

The door flung open, and a dark figure crashed against the wall of the security office.

"Mom?"

Entering through the door, Qin Mu saw that Zhang Zhi was holding an electric baton, with Yang Ling cornered against the wall; his eyes turned blood red instantly.

"You dog thing~!"

Bang!

Qin Mu pushed off with both feet and flashed to Zhang Zhi's side. A cold glint flashed from the battle saber in his hand.

With a whoosh.

Zhang Zhi's arm, holding the electric baton, was instantly severed.

Blood splattered. Staining half of Qin Mu's face, in conjunction with his already blood-red eyes, he looked like a god of death from Hell!!
