As Lin Feng and Lu Xiaobu entered the little dark room, completely cutting off all contact with the outside world, the events outside began quietly!
At first, it seed like no one cared about this news, with no movent at all.
However, this calm was rely the calm before the storm.
Beneath the calm lay massive waves that had already been stirred up!
First, ca waves after waves of various groups wanting to enter the Lu Group under various guises such as inspection teams, interview teams, journalists, and those wanting to learn from their experience, etc.!
Among them were people from the Lin Family, people from the three major telecom operators, and even people from various countries!
They tried every possible ans, gave every possible excuse, and used all their wits to enter the Lu Group to find out what was happening!
Their primary task was to confirm whether the Lu Group truly had mastered the technology, and ideally to find their research lab, or even tempt a few researchers into defecting!
The secondary task was to find the base station production line or warehouse, so that they could roughly confirm the information and break the technology!
However, the ironclad defense of the Lu Group was not just for show.
But, the Lu Group didn’t guard these places tightly, hiding and covering things up!
Instead, they allowed them to freely visit, freely search.
However, not to ntion the mysterious research lab, they couldn’t even find the factories or warehouses.
One group after another ca full of confidence, one group after another left disheartened!
Their visits were not for free; they had to provide conditions for the Lu Group to allow the visit!
The result was no gains, turning their goodwill into a simple benefit for the Lu Group!
...
Smith was an Arican, and like everyone else, he was ostensibly part of an Arican inspection team, but in reality, he was there to probe secrets!
He even went as far as to offer an extrely favorable deal, practically losing money just to give the Lu Group a contract to gain entry.
He managed to get in and explored the Lu Group, but his only achievent was having a genuine, delicious al of Heavenly Dynasty cuisine in the company’s canteen!
Now, it was ti for him to leave, and he left the Lu Group very reluctantly.
"Fuck! Why can’t I find anything?! That’s impossible!" Smith said extrely unwillingly: "I clearly walked through every corner of the Lu Group, yet I still couldn’t find anything!"
"Don’t rush, there’s still ti." Jack, beside him, consoled.
"It’s not about rushing, it’s about frustration!" Smith said angrily: "Do you know?! Just now when I found an excuse to go to the toilet, I offered soone there ten thousand US dollars to spill so information, and guess what?!"
"He refused you?!" Jack was stunned: "Even ten thousand US dollars didn’t work?! You didn’t raise the offer?!"
"It’s not a matter of money! It’s just that, when I took out the money and said the words, the look in his eyes was like looking at... at... at..." Smith couldn’t think of the word for a mont.
"An idiot?!" Jack tentatively asked.
"Yes! Yes! The look in his eyes was like he was looking at an idiot! And it was full of provocation, as if saying if you find anything, he’d drop dead! It pissed off! It pissed off! How dare a re employee look down on like that!" Smith was in a rage.
Jack gave a bitter smile, wondering what on earth Smith had gone through?!
He actually admitted to being treated like an idiot by soone!
"No way, I’m going back there tonight!" Smith gritted his teeth and said.
"Huh? We don’t have permission for that at night!" Jack was taken aback.
"It’s not an invitation, I’m sneaking in! Today I already observed the Lu Group’s security deploynt, and as long as I’m cautious, there shouldn’t be a problem!" Smith sneered: "I’m a top graduate from the military academy!"
"This... isn’t good! If you get caught, then..." Jack was a bit hesitant!
"It’s none of your business; I’ll handle it myself!" Smith was determined!
...
And so, nightti arrived.
Without attracting any attention, Smith quietly headed towards the Lu Group.
As he advanced, he marveled inwardly.
The developnt of Shin is really impressive!
Today, while observing the terrain, he walked around and didn’t see a single beggar, thief, con artist, and so on!
Could it be that Shin has beco prosperous to this extent?!
He rembered that even when he went to the Imperial earlier this year, those professions existed!
Forget it, there’s no ti to think about that, focus as he’s about to reach his destination!
However, even before he got near the Lu Group, he was dumbfounded!
"Fuck! What is this?!" Smith was almost dropping his jaw!
Do you know what he saw?!
Right on the outskirts of the Lu Group!
Thousands of flickering cigarette butts!
Yes, cigarette butts, scarlet cigarette butts that keep flickering!
Each cigarette butt represents a person smoking!
Where did the Lu Group get so many people from?!
Could it be that they really divided up thousands of employees to guard the night?!
Are they crazy?!
They can hold out for a day, maybe two, but by the third day, can these people still be functional?!
The Lu Group can’t be so arrogant to think they can settle things in just a few days, right?!
Yet, no matter the reason, he couldn’t go in!
Even if they aren’t professional personnel, many ants can kill an elephant, and this isn’t a movie where you can traverse freely through armies; if even one person sees him, he’d be exposed!
"Fuck! That’s ruthless!" Smith cursed on his way back, and he even ran into a few people he saw during the day, part of so inspection team, so journalist group!
These people were cursing as well!
With just one look, he knew these people were all trying to sneak in at night but were frightened by the thousands of cigarette butts!
But what was the real situation?!
Were they really Lu Group employees?!
Of course not!
Why would Liang Lan do sothing so short-sighted?!
These people weren’t anyone else; they were the beggars, thieves, con artists, and other underhanded folk that Smith didn’t see on the street during the day.
They sat or lay down, chatted or talked nonsense, smoked while keeping an eye on the entrance!
You might wonder why they ca here!
The reason is quite simple!
These people mostly belong to the Underworld, and who is the leader of the Underworld?!
Zhang Benhu!
Liang Lan greeted Zhang Benhu, asking these people to sleep during the day and guard at night, assuring them they would be paid handsoly!
The young master learned quite a bit of wasteful behavior from observing this!
With Zhang Benhu’s command, coupled with Lu Xiaobu’s influence in Shin, and the prospect of earning easy money, who wouldn’t be willing to co?!
And so, appeared this scene where thousands of cigarette butts surrounded the Lu Group, which was rather spectacular!
Only, the cleaning crew aunties tomorrow probably would be cursing up a storm! Hehe!
