As the first mechanical servant born, Edmund has become more and more "human" in character.

His speech is no longer rigid, and he even knows how to scare his boss.

When Chen Lidong was struggling, angry, regretful, and ashamed, he walked into the room and said: "Boss, something happened."

This sentence really frightened Chen Lidong. What else could happen?

"What's going on? What happened?" Chen Lidong asked nervously.

"Zhou Wenliang didn't come back at night, so we can't contact him," Edmund said.

"Go and call them all back and find out who they went out with."

After a while everyone arrived, except Zhou Wenliang himself.

Reporter Zhou Da went out alone after eating in the morning.

I didn’t return to the hotel at noon, and now it’s past 6 o’clock. I’m not answering the phone and no one is around.

What should I do? Find it...

More than a dozen people, working in pairs, went out on the street to search.

Chen Lidong stayed in the hotel waiting for news. The hotel suite was covered with carpets, and he stepped on a piece of it that was bald.

Until midnight, there were few people on the street.

Wang Zhiyong and the others drove to the suburbs and circled several times, but they still couldn't find him.

What's this thing? Is this the rhythm of losing talent?

The next day, Zhou Wenliang's cell phone was turned off.

Chen Lidong arranged for Wang Zhiyong to go to the local police station to report the crime, and he took Edmond to find Chen Fenghe for help.

Near noon, Chen Fenghe called: The person was found.

Where is it? In the security detention center!

Zhou Wenliang was imprisoned for one day and one night.

The reason for being arrested was: suspected of damaging the safety of the tailings reservoir dam.

Chen Fenghe told Chen Lidong to wait in the hotel and he would be sent there immediately.

Chen Lidong and Edmund went downstairs, and a police car entered the hospital. Zhou Wenliang opened the door and walked out. The police car refueled and drove out of the hotel. No one said an explanation.

Back in the room, Chen Lidong asked Zhou Wenliang: "What's going on?"

Zhou Wenliang said aggrievedly: "I received a call yesterday morning after dinner. The caller didn't say who it was, but just told me that Lugang has a tailings pond that pollutes the environment very seriously.

I was also very curious, so I took a motorcycle and went there.

The tailings pond is not far from the city, so I sent the motorcycle driver away and went up to the dam alone.

The pollution of the tailings pond is indeed very serious, and there is no grass growing for hundreds or thousands of meters around the pond.

The leaked sewage in some places caused secondary pollution outside the dam, so I came down from the dam to conduct interviews in surrounding villages.

There is a village to the west of the library, called Ta Lahai. The people there told me that the more than 1,000 acres of land in their village cannot be cultivated, and the water in the wells cannot be drank. The higher authorities tested the water quality the year before last, and it is said that

It has seriously exceeded the standard.

The villagers could only walk a few miles to get water elsewhere. While I was taking notes, I was arrested by the joint defense team. I was taken to the mineral processing plant at noon yesterday and sent to the police station in the afternoon.

I spent the whole night squatting in the detention center, Made, and I was scared to death."

The person was found and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Lidong ordered Zhou Wenliang to take a bath, and the neat young man was very embarrassed.

A dust-cleaning banquet was arranged at noon. Everyone appeased Zhou Wenliang and gave him a few glasses of wine.

In the afternoon, everyone asked Chen Lidong what to do, whether to settle the matter or talk about it.

Wang Jiaqi said: "This is illegal detention. Neither the joint defense team nor the police station has the authority to do this."

Chen Lidong said, let's wait for now, someone from the other party should explain it to us.

As a result, no one came.

After a night passed, when he got up in the morning, Edmund quietly said to Chen Lidong: "Zhou Wenliang got up twice in the middle of the night. The first time he went to relieve himself, and the second time he woke up from a fright. He must have had a nightmare and kept shouting, 'Don't go.'

Hit me'."

After breakfast, Chen Lidong called Zhou Wenliang to his room and asked:

"Did the other party hit you?"

Zhou Wenliang was a little embarrassed at first.

Chen Lidong said: "They are all big men, why are they so pretentious?"

Zhou Wenliang then lifted up his T-shirt and said angrily, "I was beaten."

Sure enough, there were bruises on the fair ribs and also on the back.

"Is this from a belt?"

"Well, those grandsons are very domineering.

They put a rag shirt on me in the village and dragged me into the car. Then they hung me on the door frame at the mineral processing plant and beat me with a belt."

"Did they say why they beat you?"

"They asked me to explain the purpose of the interview."

"What did you say?"

"I explained at the beginning that I was from Donghua Group and came to inspect the investment environment."

"Where are you at the police station? Did I beat you?"

"The police station is on the same side as the joint defense team. After he was sent to the police station, he was handcuffed and hung from a heating pipe.

Someone took notes for me and started asking me about the purpose of taking photos and interviews.

If I didn't say anything, the people from the joint defense team would continue to beat me.

Later, he asked me if I wanted to undermine the safety of the dam, and then he compiled a few pages of paper, grabbed my hand and pressed my fingerprints."

"Did you take a photo? Where's the camera?"

"The camera was taken away by the joint defense team."

Chen Lidong stood up and continued to step on the carpet.

After a few minutes, he said: "Mad, if I beat you even after I told you that you are from Donghua, do you look down on me? You rest first, and I will find a place for you."

Chen Lidong asked Wang Jiaqi to accompany Zhou Wenliang back to the room and draft legal documents.

Then he took people to the mineral processing plant.

The mineral processing plant is located southwest of Lugang's main plant, east of the tailings pond, and adjacent to the railway.

They seemed to know that someone was coming to cause trouble. The door of the mineral processing plant was closed tightly. Chen Lidong and others shouted for a long time, but no one answered.

The group of people could only return to the hotel in despair.

After a while, Chen Lidong took Edmond to Lugang Company again.

Chen Fenghe did not hide. He already understood the whole story. He chuckled and said to Chen Lidong: "Xiao Chen, I'm really sorry. The people below are so rough in doing things. Please apologize to that young man for me."

Chen Lidong said angrily: "Mr. Chen, isn't it illegal for my people to inspect the investment environment?"

Chen Fenghe laughed: "It's not illegal or not, it's just that the two parties don't know each other, so the flood washed away the Dragon King Temple."

Chen Lidong continued to question: "They beat people, did you know?"

Chen Fenghe's face straightened up and he said, "No way, it's just a matter of asking a few words, why would you take action?"

"Then how about I call Zhou Wenliang over and ask you to examine his injuries?"

Then Chen Lidong said: "Our cameras were also confiscated. I don't know if we forgot to return them or if they were used as evidence to continue the investigation.

We have already invested 80 million for you, and if it is not enough, we don’t mind paying more.”

Chen Fenghe continued to be in a daze: "No way, no one told me this. I'll ask people from the branch to come over."

“Okay, please investigate clearly and give us a legitimate explanation.

In addition, Mr. Chen, I think the operating environment of Lugang is not good.

Donghua Group is preparing to divest, and you can continue with the listing after we divest."

Chen Lidong finally couldn't bear it anymore and was ready to flip the table.

Chen Fenghe's face turned ugly and he said, "Dr. Chen, it's not that bad. Wasn't it good before?"

What Chen Lidong just said was said in anger. After saying it, he felt very happy in his heart.

The water here was too deep and the mud was too thick. It was best to evacuate, so I organized my words and said:

"Mr. Chen, I have reason to believe that you used the listing as a means to deceive us into investing capital.
