After a bumpy ride, the two arrived at the county bus station a little after 11 a.m.
The weather is quite nice today, sunny and breezy.
Both of them had breakfast at home, and after discussing it, they decided not to linger and went straight to take care of their business.
The factory that Zhou Jian mentioned is located a little further east of the county town.
Zhou Rui was a little curious. Logically speaking, how could Prosecutor Zhou know the owner of this place?
If it were just about knowing the leaders, that would be one thing, but how come he has connections in both the legitimate and underworld circles?
Filled with curiosity, and having never been there before, the two asked for directions as they walked.
On the way, Zhou Rui was also secretly recalling the intelligence that had just been refreshed.
He was really annoyed; today's refresh showed two more blank intelligence reports.
[Intelligence 1: Li Hang has entered the mountains several times in the past few days, but he only wandered around the first mountain and dared not set foot on the back mountain. However, today, amidst the praise and doubts of his fellow villagers, he entered the second mountain alone. On the way, he encountered a wild boar and fell badly while trying to escape.]
[Intelligence 1 Quality: White]
[Intelligence 2: Li Dehua has been keeping a much lower profile lately, rarely wandering around town, and it seems he has also lost contact with Chen Li —]
[Intelligence 2 Quality: White]
Just like yesterday, two pieces of information were refreshed today, but both were only of white quality.
Zhou Rui had a deep impression of Li Hang; he was the kind of person who thought highly of himself and always had a "I could do it too" attitude.
Whenever someone else gains something, no matter how they got it, he'll think it's just that person's good luck.
Then, when he actually tried it himself, he realized that it wasn't that simple.
However, such people generally do not admit their mistakes and will always use another behavior to cover up their original mistakes because they cannot accept others saying bad things about them.
As for the other piece of information, Zhou Rui knew the reason; his Uncle Zhou Jian had already told him yesterday.
But what puzzled Zhou Rui was not this, but the ambiguous statement that followed. He couldn't recall ever hearing such a statement before.
It usually has a hidden meaning.
After considering that the person being referred to was Chen Li, Zhou Rui seemed to understand something.
The two of them are probably still entangled in a complicated relationship.
How could Chen Li be so despicable?
To be honest, Zhou Rui also admired Chen Li to some extent. A person can be shameless and despicable, but when it comes to Chen Li, it really leaves people speechless.
And then there's this wealthy man, Li Dehua, who, at this critical juncture, is still thinking about those trivial matters. Even with his eyebrows on fire, he can't control his lustful desires.
However, this is consistent with Li Dehua's personality, given that he consumes all sorts of kidneys and supplements repeatedly.
Zhou Rui shook his head to clear his mind, and at the same time chuckled to himself. Even now, two hours later, he was still speechless when he thought about it.
This kind of information is best taken with a grain of salt.
Seeing his son suddenly grinning foolishly, Zhou Shiwei asked with some concern, "Son, what's wrong? What's the matter? Is it something funny?"
Zhou Rui: "Dad, um—I suddenly thought of something happy. Don't worry, I've been taught by Mom that I'll never giggle like an idiot, no matter what."
Zhou Shiwei nodded thoughtfully, and the two continued walking toward their destination.
After walking for about an hour, the two stood in a small factory.
Agricultural machinery factory.
Just as they were about to go inside, the two were stopped by security personnel.
"Hey, what are you two doing? If you're begging for money, go somewhere else. Don't you see this is a farm machinery factory? Unauthorized personnel are not allowed inside."
Zhou Shiwei and his son were dressed very simply, with several patches on their clothes, because they were planning to ride their tricycle back home, so they didn't wear any nice clothes.
To their surprise, they were mistaken for beggars.
Zhou Rui looked down at himself, then at his father. Although their clothes were patched, they were clean and fresh, having been washed by Zeng Jiamei.
Seeing that the security guard was looking down on people, the hot-tempered Zhou Rui stepped forward.
"When did the gatekeepers become so imposing? I'm here to see your factory manager. We have Zhou Jian's introduction."
Zhou Rui stepped forward, his attitude very firm, showing no sign of being intimidated.
He was a reincarnated person who had achieved some success in his previous life. In this life, he just didn't want to show off in front of his family and only wanted to live a peaceful life.
The security department was humiliated and became furious.
"Where did this wild kid come from? What, didn't you see the clothes I'm wearing? Do you even know what a security department is!"
""
"And look at you, dressed in rags, you look like a stinking beggar. You have the nerve to talk to me like that? Bah! Get the hell out of my sight, or I'll have someone come and arrest you!"
In those days, the security departments of factories like this actually had a lot of power, unlike the security guards in later residential communities who were only responsible for opening and closing gates and arguing with residents all the time.
However, this does not mean that the other party can speak so rudely.
As soon as the other person finished speaking, Zhou Rui coldly replied, "Really, you're just a gatekeeper, why are you trying to make yourself look good? What does the factory's quality have to do with you?"
"You're like an ancient lord going out in his sedan chair. When the coachman sees the envious looks people give his master, he thinks they're envious of him, so he arrogantly raises his head and tells everyone he meets, 'I am an official from such-and-such prefecture.'"
"Why don't you even look at yourself in a puddle and see what kind of person you are?!"
Zhou Rui's words were very sharp. Although the security guard was not highly educated, he could still hear the sarcasm in his words, and his face turned pale and then red.
The security guard had been holding back for a long time, his face turning red. Just as he was about to retort, Zhou Rui gave him no chance at all.
"What's wrong? Getting angry? Did I hit a sore spot? Today I'm going to tell you properly, work is work, don't take yourself too seriously, understand?"
"Don't you know a story? A dog's eyes always look down on people. Do you know why? Because dogs look down on people."
Zhou Rui cursed at the other party again in a very "subtle" way. The middle-aged man from the security department had never been insulted like this before, and immediately picked up a weapon to fight with Zhou Rui.
Seeing this, Zhou Shiwei, who was laughing heartily at his son's antics, strode over to Zhou Rui and reached out to protect his son.
Just as tensions were rising, the roar of a motorcycle came from afar.
Zhou Rui turned around and saw a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties riding a motorcycle towards them.
The other person stopped the car, got out, and looked at the scene.
"What happened?"
He asked the security department.
Upon seeing their "masters" arrive, the security guards pointed at Zhou Rui and his companion, shouting, "These two beggars want to come into our factory! I won't let them in, and they're going to fight me!"
