Chapter 156: Falling at the Critical Moment
The atmosphere in the warehouse was extremely somber, and many people had already begun to cry secretly.
"If I had known, I should have listened to my parents and not taken this job. I thought that although it was tiring, the pay was very high. I never expected to encounter something like this today."
"I was saying that my right eyelid kept twitching when I left home this morning, and I should have taken the day off."
"I've already worked so hard, why should an ordinary person like me have to go through this?"
The voices of complaint and resentment around you grew louder and louder. You hadn't slept well since you came from work last night. You had planned to take a good rest now that those people outside had left, and you were prepared to continue dealing with them tonight. But listening to the voices around you, you forced yourself to cheer up and comfort them.
"Don't worry, everyone. The authorities will definitely not stand idly by. Besides, Tokyo is so big. People outside must already know about this. They might be trying to rescue us. Otherwise, why would the Ai-nin people outside threaten us and ask us to open the gates and let them in?"
Hearing her words, someone nodded in agreement, and Song Qianyi continued, "As long as we keep going, we will definitely be able to get rescued."
Li Yang stood up as well and said, "It's daytime now, so we can see a lot. Let's take advantage of the fact that the people outside have left and quickly reinforce our defenses."
The workers nodded and quickly searched their surroundings for things; some even grabbed sticks to use for self-defense.
After everyone left, Song Qianyi sat down, leaning against the wall, watching everyone's busy figures, feeling very uneasy.
What I just said was only to reassure people; as for the actual situation outside, we have no idea.
But one thing she was very clear about was that the authorities had not yet sent anyone to rescue them.
"Junior sister, don't worry, the teachers are definitely trying to find a way to save us."
Seemingly sensing her worry, Li Yang stepped forward and whispered comforting words in her ear.
He knew that his junior sister couldn't show any fear at this moment. After all, everyone in the warehouse had started to regard her as their leader, so they couldn't panic, or they would really fall into the enemy's trap.
Song Qianyi gave a bitter smile and pressed down hard on her trembling hand.
"After this incident, we can be considered friends who have been through life and death together. From now on, Senior Brother must give way to me."
Seeing that she could still joke, Li Yang gradually relaxed and cooperated, saying, "Don't I, as the senior brother, take good care of you fellow disciples on a regular basis? You never hold back when you order me around."
Seemingly thinking of the relaxed atmosphere in the office, the tense atmosphere between the two eased somewhat.
However, they hadn't had time to relax for long when they heard exclamations coming from inside the warehouse.
"what's going on?"
"I suddenly remembered that our factory gate was reported last week that it needed repairs because it has been in use for a long time and some parts have started to deteriorate."
One sentence sent everyone present into despair.
Song Qianyi clenched her fingers at her side. If that were really the case, then the door probably wouldn't last long.
Do you have any underpasses or anything like that around here?
The person in charge shook his head bitterly. He had only taken over the factory not long ago, and even if it existed, he wouldn't know where it was.
Song Qianyi took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
"In that case, let the people outside hurry back and set up a simple defensive measure at the gate, and put everything in this warehouse."
The gate can't be held. If the people outside really get desperate, they might ram it with a car or blow it up with a bomb.
However, there are so many warehouses inside the factory. As long as they stay quietly inside, they can delay for a while longer. Moreover, the only reason they want to enter this factory is for food, so even if it's not for anything else, they won't dare to burn down the warehouses easily for the sake of food.
After arranging everything, Song Qianyi felt a deep sense of powerlessness; she had never been so close to the edge of life and death.
If no one comes to rescue them, they might really die here today.
Unbeknownst to Song Qianyi, outside the factory, Ji Jingshen, under the cover of bodyguards and mercenaries, was approaching the area where the two forces were fighting.
"President, this situation is far too dangerous. I'll take some men to rescue Madam."
They had been waiting here for over an hour, but neither side showed any intention of stopping, so they knew that the political figures had not yet made a move.
Seeing that Ji Jingshen clearly couldn't resist the urge to lead people over to rescue them, the secretary spoke up to stop him.
“Although I’m eager to relocate, I’m not as irrational as you think. Now you should personally urge that official, and if necessary, you can use your original interests to negotiate with him.”
After saying that, Ji Jingshen sent the information he had gathered to his secretary. "Here is some evidence against him. I don't care what method you use, you must get him to agree as soon as possible."
The secretary hesitated for a long time before finally leaving with his phone. He knew his boss's temper very well; staying there wouldn't help much, so he might as well go and urge that political figure.
The politician had made all the promises when they left, but now he'd messed things up at the crucial moment. The secretary's face darkened as she listened to the machine's repeated calls on her phone.
That's really impressive. Did that politician really think that all they had was that dirty dirt on them?
After the lady is safely rescued from inside, I believe their president will definitely not let this political figure off easily. If he doesn't accept our polite negotiations, then we can only wait for the reckoning later.
After failing to get through on the tenth call, the secretary took two bodyguards and drove directly to the politician's office.
Meanwhile, Ji Jingshen has already begun arranging for people to investigate the surrounding environment.
"The terrain here is extremely dangerous. Only the factory area has been repaired. There is only one road in and out, but it has been destroyed by two forces and is guarded by people. We can't enter through the main gate."
They all sneaked up from the lower road, and they even took care of a few people along the way.
Ji Jingshen looked serious as he stared at the terrain map that had been sent to his computer, pondering how to get in.
He had seen this kind of factory before, and it must have a back door, but he didn't know the exact location yet. However, Ji Jingshen focused his attention on a rugged path.
