The King of Urban Mercenaries-Chapter 1424 - 1428: Braised Pork
The machines were still humming, but the man’s voice was nowhere to be heard. Lin Fei’s brow was furrowed, his fists clenched. He returned to the room, looked at the terrified crowd in front of him, and said, "Go to sleep, work tomorrow, and go home the day after!"
After Lin Fei finished speaking, no one responded, all of them were savoring Lin Fei’s words.
"Big Brother, did you say we’re going home the day after tomorrow?" Yu Mo poked her little head out and asked.
Lin Fei patted Yu Mo’s little head and said, "Yes, what’s wrong? Don’t you want to go home?"
"No, it’s not that, I want to... but I don’t have a home anymore..." Yu Mo said sadly.
Lin Fei held Yu Mo in his arms, as if she were his sister, and said, "You still have a home, you have your grandfather. I said I would help you find your grandfather, remember?"
Yu Mo nodded and said, "Mm, thank you, Big Brother..." Yu Mo thanked Lin Fei and then directly leaned against Lin Fei, feeling the warmth of his body, she felt very safe, a kind of safety she had never felt before, and soon, she drifted off to sleep.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sound of an iron rod banging on the door echoed, and the fat man named Ma shouted loudly, "Get up! Time to work! Move faster! Or I’ll slaughter you all!"
Lin Fei and the others woke up in shock, got up one by one, and headed to their workstations. However, just then, Yu Mo was suddenly stopped by the fat man Ma, and he said, "You, don’t go over there yet, come with me to the office."
Yu Mo looked at Lin Fei, her expression full of a plea for help.
Lin Fei stepped forward, grabbed Yu Mo’s arm, and said, "Fatty, can’t you let me take her to the factory to learn the ropes first?"
The fat man Ma was a bit displeased, but thinking about Lin Fei’s words, he suddenly smiled broadly and said, "You’re thoughtful, indeed she needs to adapt. Go ahead and take her to the factory to learn the ropes."
Lin Fei nodded and headed towards the workshop with Yu Mo, but behind him, the fat man Ma’s smiling face turned cold and sinister, a vicious look in his eyes, like a wolf eyeing a piece of meat, very terrifying.
Lin Fei took Yu Mo to the workshop, they needed to polish there, without masks, and as soon as they entered, they started coughing. Even Lin Fei found it difficult to tolerate the harsh environment, surrounded by golden dust. Of course, it wasn’t real gold, but a metal imitating gold, which explained the rampant fake gold in the market. Cheap metal, when sold just a bit cheaper than real gold, became highly sought after. The profits were obvious, a few gold chains could cost just a few yuan, but disguised as real gold, the profit could be hundreds or thousands of times!
Some shopping malls even ran promotions, offering gold inlaid with jade, or jade inlaid with gold, at ridiculously cheap prices, just waiting for people to fall for it because business people wouldn’t do business at a loss.
All these things were processed here, even whole jade stones, of course, jade here was entirely manufactured through chemical reactions, which had a bit of high-tech involved. After all, deceit can drive human progress, sometimes inventions start with con men, and so-called experts may not outplay swindlers.
Lin Fei found it hard to endure, let alone Yu Mo. He took Yu Mo out straight away, bringing her to rest in the dorm. After all, he was ready to leave tomorrow, or maybe even tonight, as Lin Fei had run out of patience to investigate further.
"Sigh! Now it’s the police doing the police work, truly exhausting!" Lin Fei sighed as he lay on the bed.
The sickly person on the upper bunk said, "Brother... are you a cop? Can you save us? We beg you."
"Yes, we beg you..."
"Please..."
Several sickly people pleaded with Lin Fei, and Lin Fei replied helplessly, "Alright, alright, stop pestering, or I won’t take you with me!"
Hearing Lin Fei’s words, they were overjoyed, quickly shutting their mouths, saying no more.
Eventually, mealtime came, and the scent of delicious food wafted through the entire room, changing the expressions of Lin Fei and the others as they went to the dining room. On the table, there were pans of meat, prepared very attractively. For example, the braised pork, with its reddish hue and appetizing smell, made you want to take a bite immediately!
Yet no one picked up their chopsticks, because everyone recalled what happened yesterday.
Lin Fei’s brows furrowed, and he noticed the skin and flesh in it, clearly not pork skin, which left only one possibility...
Fat Man Ma, with a sly grin, said, "Just bought a pig yesterday, you all worked so hard, consider this compensation, eat quickly! Eat while it’s hot, it won’t taste good cold!"
The moment they heard this, both old and new workers felt their stomachs churn, and many started vomiting, their vomit scattered all around, combining with the scent of braised pork, creating a nauseating stench difficult to describe.
Seeing everyone’s reaction, Fat Man Ma grew displeased and said, "You ungrateful dogs! Eat quickly! Or you won’t eat for three days!"
The crowd remained silent, they could eat pork, but... eating the same species, they couldn’t do it! Even dogs don’t eat their own kind, let alone...
Lin Fei couldn’t stand it any longer, he slammed the table and angrily looked at Fat Man Ma, saying, "Fatty Ma, try eating a piece yourself!"
Fat Man Ma snorted coldly, went to the big pot of braised pork, grabbed a handful of it, and shoved it into his greasy mouth. As he chewed, the fat on his cheek quivered, imagining that what was in Fatty Ma’s mouth wasn’t pork, but...
Everyone once again vomited. Lin Fei coldly said, "Fatty Ma, do you know what meat you’re eating?"
"Pork! What’s wrong? Didn’t I say it’s pork? And it’s delicious, try it, quickly try it." Fat Man Ma said.
Yet still, no one moved their chopsticks.
This time, Fat Man Ma finally got angry, slamming the table with a heavy thud, he said, "You sons of bitches, whoever doesn’t eat will get it from me today, let’s see what happens when you’re beaten to death alive!!"
