Chapter 307: Chapter 307: Make Things Difficult for Them

Chuxia Lin recognized at a glance that the person hesitating at the entrance of the food factory was a villager from the Qin Family Village. They seemed indecisive, taking a peek inside the factory, and then pacing back and forth in a troubled manner.

"Aunties, are you looking for me for something?"

Chuxia Lin approached and took the initiative to speak.

The two people who were peeking into the factory turned around upon hearing her voice. Spotting Chuxia Lin, they began to stammer, at a loss for words.

"There are no outsiders here, just speak your mind, Aunties."

One of the aunties had reddened eyes, prompted by Chuxia’s words, she asked, "This morning, my Da Jun was taken away by the police. His wife has been crying at home for half a day, and I’m worried too. I came to ask the factory about it - Da Jun got into a fight because of our food factory. If he really ends up in jail, will the Xiyang Food Factory take responsibility? I’m not trying to make things difficult for you, Auntie, it’s just that Da Jun’s wife just gave birth, and the family is counting on him."

The other aunty also said, "Our Zhuzi has always been honest and never been in a fight. This time he was also taken away. I saw with my own eyes in the crowd that my Zhuzi didn’t lay a hand on anyone but still took two punches from the other side. In the end, the people who started the fight ran away and my Zhuzi was taken."

Chuxia Lin only knew that seven or eight people had been taken away, except for Qin Jianjun, she still didn’t know who else was involved, so she could only offer comfort for now.

"Aunties, don’t worry, Factory Director Su has already gone to the police station. Even if our people really did get into a fight, the incident started with the provocation of people from the Old Food Factory. Our workers were acting in self-defense and won’t be held legally responsible, nor will they go to jail. I can guarantee that to the Aunties."

"Really? But why did they only arrest our people?"

At first, they weren’t worried, but then someone said that the police only arrested workers from the Xiyang Food Factory and not those from the Old Food Factory.

Obviously, the Xiyang Food Factory had offended someone, and arresting their workers was a way to get back at them. Those who were arrested were in big trouble, leaving Chuxia Lin to face the consequences.

Hearing these comments, they became anxious.

Chuxia Lin knew she couldn’t explain the situation to them clearly at the moment, so she promised, "Aunties, rest assured, if there really is any problem, the Xiyang Food Factory will hire the best lawyers to fight for them in court. We absolutely won’t let our employees go to jail for no reason."

Reassured by the two aunties, they finally nodded, "Fourth son’s wife, we trust you, we’re all from the same village, you’ll stand by us, right?"

While they said they trusted her, in reality, as a newcomer, she didn’t have much contact with the people from the village.

Chuxia Lin smiled slightly, "Of course, Aunties, you just go home and wait for news, we won’t ignore this matter."

Reassured by Chuxia Lin’s words, the two left the food factory.

Chuxia Lin went straight to Qin Wu’s office, "Any news from Old Su’s side?"

"Not back yet," Qin Wu nodded and handed a list of names to Chuxia Lin, "These are the people taken away this morning, seven in total, five from our Qin Family Village and two nearby. Their home addresses are listed at the back."

The first name was Qin Jianjun, followed by others such as Li Dajun and Li Baozhu.

"Alright, how’s everything in the workshop?"

"Everything is normal. Everyone knows that the Old Food Factory’s people came to disrupt our production because our beef sauce and cooked foods are selling well. Now everyone is spirited and even clamoring to work overtime at night. Some are also worried that the Old Food Factory’s people will cause trouble tomorrow and suggested to stay overnight at the factory."

"It’s not realistic to have everyone stay at the factory. There isn’t enough space, and if they don’t rest well, accidents during production would be even worse. However, their concerns are not unfounded. Arrange for a shift change to night shifts, and for those who are willing to stay tonight, make proper accommodation arrangements."

Su Wensong shook his head, "They’re still at the police station, not yet released."

"What’s the situation?"

"They said they brought the people in for questioning, but once they arrived at the station, Shi Wei left with his men citing other cases. Our people were temporarily locked in a room, and I asked the other officers there. They said they couldn’t interfere with the cases handled by Shi Wei. When we looked for the head officer, he was also not around. We waited until now, and after Shi Wei’s team finished other cases, they went off duty, telling our people to wait for questioning tomorrow."

"This is outrageous," Qin Wu couldn’t help but curse.

They were clearly being given the runaround.

Su Wensong also felt that something was off with this incident and asked Chuxia Lin, "What did Sun Hao say?"

"It’s not easy to deal with."

Chuxia Lin didn’t elaborate, just checked the time.

"It’s getting late, go back and rest. We’ll talk about the rest tomorrow. Also, inform the families of the detained workers tomorrow to properly manage their emotions. Tell them that no matter what happens, the Xiyang Food Factory will not abandon them."

Of the seven detained workers, five were villagers from the Qin Family Village. Chuxia Lin decided to personally visit Qin Liang’s family to explain the situation, while Qin Wu would go to the other four families from the Qin Family Village, and the remaining two were Su Wensong’s responsibility.

After arranging the next day’s activities, Chuxia Lin and Su Wensong went off duty. Qin Wu stayed in the factory to keep watch.

The next morning, Chuxia Lin first visited Qin Liang. When she arrived, she found that someone had arrived even earlier than her.
