A worker from their own auto factory was the one who arrived, and as soon as he saw Wang Yu, he immediately started shouting.
"Is there a thief? What's going on?" Wang Yu recognized the person, who seemed to be an employee from the engine production workshop. Seeing his flustered expression, he immediately inquired.
"We had a few thieves break into the factory tonight, and they've made a mess of your office!" the worker gasped for breath, saying to Wang Yu. "When the thieves were discovered by us, they'd already vanished without a trace. The factory has reported the incident and is cleaning up the scene, mobilizing everyone to search for you everywhere. I ran for several blocks before I finally found you!"
"Is there such a thing?" Upon hearing this from the worker, Wang Yu could no longer attend to Yang Song. He cupped his hands in apology and said, "Director Yang, I'm very sorry. There's been a problem at my factory, so I must leave now to handle it. We can discuss the acquisition later."
Hearing Wang Yu say this, Yang Song waved his hands repeatedly, no longer trying to keep Wang Yu there. "It's alright, it's alright. Director Wang, you should attend to your matters first!"
Wang Yu followed the worker and hurried back to the auto factory, leaving Yang Song standing there alone.
After a while, several figures crept out from the shadows.
"Did you succeed?" Yang Song asked in a low voice.
"Yes, we succeeded." The other party nodded, also replying in a low voice.
"Did you leave any traces?" Yang Song cautiously looked around.
"Don't worry, we didn't leave any evidence. The auto factory doesn't have any surveillance equipment, so no one can catch us."
The other party replied with great confidence and handed Yang Song a thick stack of documents and drafts. "Everything is here."
"Very good. Don't worry, you'll get the promised reward," Yang Song nodded slightly and took the documents. He glanced at them under the dim streetlights.
Seeing the densely written drafts filled with design blueprints and formulas, he couldn't help but reveal a look of satisfaction.
"These are the design blueprints for all his products. Hmph, what a bunch of idiots trying to crack and imitate? Why not just copy them directly?" Yang Song's face showed a smug expression.
"With these, I can hand them directly to Young Master Xu, and I'll be able to latch onto him and achieve great success! Only a fool would play games like arson with you scoundrels like Fang Zhongtian! You'll benefit, and I'll take the blame. If anything goes wrong, it'll be me going to jail!"
Under the moonlight, Yang Song's smile was extremely cunning and sinister.
...
Rushing back to the auto factory, Wang Yu found that leaders from all levels had gathered, their faces grave.
His own director's office had its door wide open, and the interior was in utter disarray, as if it had been ransacked.
Several members of the public security bureau were inspecting and recording the scene. The leader in charge was their old acquaintance, Captain Miao Wanli.
Clearly, the factory personnel had reported to the public security bureau immediately, and these officers had arrived promptly.
What the hell is going on today? Is fate making me clash with the public security bureau? Wang Yu muttered inwardly and quickly stepped forward to greet Captain Miao.
"Heh heh, Little Wang, we meet again." Captain Miao also had a strange look on his face. He was clearly a bit frustrated to be meeting Wang Yu again so soon after parting ways, and in such circumstances.
"You've arrived just in time. Take a look and see what's missing from your office so we can record it," Captain Miao Wanli said to Wang Yu.
"Okay, understood!" Wang Yu quickly responded and stepped forward to look around the office.
Every corner had been rummaged through thoroughly, with various documents scattered on the floor. However, after a general tidying, none of them seemed to be particularly important items.
As Wang Yu continued to tidy, his expression became increasingly peculiar, which caused the cadres observing him to change their expressions slightly.
Why does the young director's face look so grim? Could the losses be that severe? That's understandable. The new product blueprints he'd spent sleepless nights and poured his heart into designing for days, judging by the looks of it, were likely stolen completely!
No wonder the usually stoic young director now has such a grim expression!
Everyone was speculating about the extent of the losses that could make his face so somber.
Little did they know, Wang Yu's expression was becoming more and more bizarre.
"What's wrong? Are the losses very severe?" Captain Miao Wanli kindly asked Wang Yu.
"I wouldn't say it's terribly severe, but well, in a sense, it is quite severe," Wang Yu's tone was slightly hesitant, showing some deliberation. "All my product design blueprints were stolen."
What?
Stolen! And all the product design blueprints!
Upon hearing this, the other cadres immediately exploded!
Were Wang Yu's designs good? They were exceptionally good!
Didn't you see how they were selling out instantly?
Even for a single product, agents would scramble desperately to get the dealership rights, and even willing to pay exorbitant prices for the goods!
Didn't the auto factory manage to turn its fortunes around and rise from the ashes in just one month, all thanks to Wang Yu's genius product designs?
And now, he was saying that all the design blueprints had been stolen?
This was simply cutting off their own lifeline!
If any competitor got their hands on these, they could immediately produce a batch of similar products and take over.
Then their product's competitive advantage would vanish completely! This... this was simply suicidal!
The cadres' faces became grave, and even Captain Miao Wanli's expression turned serious. Although he didn't understand factory management, he knew the importance of product design blueprints.
Furthermore, the thieves didn't steal money or valuables, only all the design blueprints. What did this indicate?
They were specifically targeting Wang Yu!
"So, the losses are substantial?" Captain Miao Wanli asked Wang Yu, his tone very serious. This could constitute a major case!
Given the current scale of the auto factory, the value involved in a crime occurring within his jurisdiction was immense!
Wang Yu had donated so many good things, making significant contributions to their public security bureau. Especially the previous dismantling of the human trafficking ring, which was said to have alarmed high-ranking officials in the province, and someone was due to arrive soon.
Moreover, Wang Yu was a unit that the Secretary personally paid attention to and supported, not only receiving special consideration but also helping to resolve many long-standing issues for the state-owned factory workers.
Both publicly and privately, it was imperative to file a case and solve it as soon as possible!
"But..." Wang Yu opened his mouth, wanting to say something.
"Little Wang, don't worry, we will definitely help you catch that detestable thief!" Captain Miao Wanli said to Wang Yu with great seriousness, then immediately turned to arrange his subordinates to start collecting evidence in the vicinity.
"But..."
"No buts, little director, we will definitely overcome this difficulty together!"
The cadres also crowded around, chattering and trying to comfort Wang Yu.
"That's right, let's overcome this difficulty together! Although our product design blueprints were stolen, we've already opened up the market first. As long as we maintain our current advantage, we don't need to worry even if competitors imitate us!" Feng Daochun impassionedly encouraged everyone. Listening to this, everyone's spirits lifted.
Then, one after another, they began to comfort Wang Yu.
"Little director, don't worry."
"That's right, as long as we're still here, we won't let the factory collapse."
"We got through it when things were so difficult back then. We'll definitely be fine now!"
Everyone was chattering and comforting Wang Yu.
"I said, why don't you let me finish speaking!" Wang Yu roared suddenly, causing everyone in the scene to fall silent. Then they heard him begin to speak slowly.
"Actually... it's a good thing that those product design blueprints were stolen."
Wang Yu's words made everyone freeze.
