The security guards were well-trained and wouldn't have given up after only ten minutes, allowing them to break in.

Besides, if something happens, someone will definitely call the police.

But why did the police only arrive almost half an hour after they stormed in and started vandalizing the place?

I'm afraid someone is taking advantage of the situation and deliberately delaying things.

“I suspect there’s a mole in the factory,” Xiao Zhou said.

"The factory has three gates. At the main gate, two teams of security guards take turns on duty, and each team must ensure that there are five people. The other two gates each have two security guards. The gates are not far apart, and there are security booths next to them. If you call someone over, it won't take long. But when the attack happened, it was during the shift change of the two teams of security guards at the main gate. Three of the security guards who were taking over the shift were late because of some things, which led to the main gate being breached and the attackers breaking in."

Lin Qingran frowned deeply. "You suspect that Shen Pei'an contacted people at the factory before taking action, using a diversionary tactic?"

"That's the only explanation we can get now," Xiao Zhou said in a heavy tone.

"It's too much of a coincidence that three security guards are on duty at the same time. Besides, there weren't many people on the other side, only six."

It wasn't a large-scale attack, and the workers inside weren't dead. They couldn't possibly not stop it. How could just six people destroy so much equipment in the factory? Isn't that a joke?

"Have you reviewed the surveillance footage? What did the police say?"

“I watched the surveillance footage frame by frame in detail. The six of them arrived suddenly, and they were all trained fighters. They were fast and knew some martial arts. By the time everyone reacted, they had already smashed three machines. Later, the factory workers and leaders who heard the commotion came to stop them. One of them stabbed Director Hao, so no one dared to fight back anymore, but they still tried to stop them,” Xiao Zhou said.

"Furthermore, there was a control panel in a blind spot of the surveillance system. In the chaos, someone splashed water on it, and the entire motherboard was damaged. So we cannot determine whether the control panel was damaged at the time of the incident or at some other time."

In short, both Xiao Zhou and the police believed that there must have been a mole in the factory, which was why the other party's washing machines were sold so smoothly, and even caused huge losses to the factory.

So in the past few days, many people in the factory, from top to bottom, have been under investigation.

But no one noticed anything suspicious.

Unless someone takes advantage of the chaos, secretly posing as a staff member to infiltrate the factory which operates almost 24/7, and secretly sabotage it.

Otherwise, it can only mean that the mole was hidden too well, so that even the police couldn't find any clues.

Who are you suspecting now?

“One is Factory Director Zhang, one is Team Leader Li on Production Line No. 1, and the other is…” Xiao Zhou paused.

"Director Hao."

“He’s someone we sent,” Lin Qingran said.

Xiao Zhou nodded. "The police haven't suspected him too much, and he's injured and still in the hospital, so they haven't conducted a formal investigation into him yet. But it's precisely because he was sent to the factory by us, not a locally recruited employee, that I think there's something wrong with him."

He was injured and hospitalized, and since he was one of our own and knew a lot about us, he was indeed a suspicious person.

"Tell Director Zhang that I will go to the factory this afternoon to personally visit and comfort the workers. Now let's go straight to the hospital. After all, Director Hao was injured while working for the factory, and as the boss, I can't just ignore him."

Lin Qingran and Xiao Zhou went straight to the hospital. Director Hao was lying on the hospital bed, his face slightly pale. When he saw Lin Qingran come in, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He then tried to get up to greet her.

"President Jiang, why did you come in person?"

Lin Qingran quickly stepped forward and pressed him down, speaking softly.

"Director Hao, just lie down and don't move. Your health is the most important thing."

Director Hao looked at Lin Qingran gratefully, "President Jiang, I failed to protect the project for you, and you still came to see me in person. I really feel bad about it."

Lin Qingran smiled slightly and said.

"Don't say that. Natural disasters and man-made calamities are unavoidable. You were injured while working at the factory, how could I not come and see you? How are you feeling now? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

Director Hao sighed, "The wound still hurts a bit, but the doctor said it's nothing serious and will heal with rest. Sigh, what happened that day was so sudden, and those people were so arrogant, just blatantly barging into the factory and smashing things."

Lin Qingran's eyes narrowed slightly, and she asked casually.

"Yes, it happened so suddenly, who could have imagined it? But Director Hao, do you remember the specifics of what happened? For example, did those people say anything unusual, or do anything strange?"

Director Hao frowned and recalled, "I don't remember very clearly either. The scene was too chaotic. I just remember that as soon as they rushed in, they started smashing the machines. I went up to stop them, and one of them stabbed me. After that, I was a bit confused. When I came to my senses, I was already in the hospital."

Lin Qingran nodded. "Before that, did you notice anything unusual about the factory?"

Director Hao thought for a moment and then said.

"I'm not too clear about the shift arrangements. I'm mainly responsible for production scheduling in the workshop. As for strangers, I haven't paid much attention to them. There are so many people coming and going in the factory every day, it's hard to tell who's a stranger."

Lin Qingran nodded silently, "Thank you for your hard work. The company will definitely compensate you for this."

Xiao Zhou chimed in at the opportune moment, "Director Hao, please focus on recovering. Don't worry about the factory; General Manager Jiang is already arranging for the aftermath and will try to get the factory back to production as soon as possible."

Director Hao nodded repeatedly, "That's good, that's good. I've been hoping the factory could return to normal as soon as possible. Those workers depend on the factory for their livelihood, so we can't let it stay shut down like this."

Director Hao's tone was sincere, so Lin Qingran didn't say anything more and stood up.

“You’re right, the factory’s recovery depends on everyone’s efforts. You’ve been here for so long, you know the situation best. Once you’re healed and discharged from the hospital, we’ll need your help even more. I still need to go and check on the factory myself, so I won’t say any more to you. You should get some rest.”

Director Hao hurriedly stood up again, "President Jiang, let me see you out."

Lin Qingran waved her hand, "No, you don't need to see me off since you have difficulty moving around. Let's get together properly after you're discharged from the hospital."
