Thirty Entrepreneurship: Recycling of second-hand aircraft carriers at the beginning

Chapter 359 Lin Chen Learns
Everyone covered their noses and turned to look, only to see the little penguin squatting on a plastic bucket to defecate.

"Oh my, this is the first time I see the manager like this! And in a place like this!" Fang Lan didn't know whether to cry or laugh, she pouted and looked at the manager.

The manager stuck his butt out, smiled awkwardly, and covered his nose and said, "I really miss the company's toilet, with its strong smell of mothballs and jasmine!"

"Manager, can't you just be patient?" Fang Lan frowned, pouted her lips and blocked her nose, looking at the manager with disdain.

Just now, with a "Puff!" sound, more feces came out of the manager, mixed with the "Squeak!" sound of urine. The stinky smell of urine and feces was overwhelming, as if someone was spraying pesticides, making people almost faint.

Everyone kept their distance from the manager, but how could they block out the smell?

The manager finally finished relieving himself, but a new problem arose: There was no toilet paper!

Fortunately, the criminals did not take the tissues from their trouser pockets, so everyone gathered together and handed them to the manager to wipe it clean.

"What about the next person?" The manager came over, smelling bad, frowning and smiling.

"We can only tear up the sheets! Or ask the bandits for them!" Fang Lan said, "Just tell them that to ensure the health of our organs, we must ensure our living conditions!"

"That's a good idea. Maybe we can change to a better environment!" The little penguin nodded and gave Fang Lan a thumbs up.

However, the progress of digging the brick joints was still very slow. Cement is not so easy to dig out. The Swiss Army Knife was gradually worn out, but the brick joints were just like some carved lines, and they did not move at all!

Just then, another member wanted to relieve himself.

Fang Lan ran to the front door, knocked hard, and shouted, "We need toilet paper! The toilet needs a lid!" Of course, she spoke in English.

The gatekeeper heard what was said and brought the required toilet paper and lids shortly afterwards. He then quickly closed the door because of the strong odor in the room.

The stone in everyone's heart finally fell to the ground, for fear that the secret of picking through the brick gaps would be discovered.

However, the work in the brickwork was progressing slowly, and everyone felt that it was hopeless to complete the task, wondering when they would be caught.

"Perhaps we should give up trying to pick at the cracks between the bricks and keep the knife," Fang Lan suggested. "When the gatekeeper comes in again, we'll find a chance to subdue him, seize his gun, and then rush out. As many people as possible will escape!"

Everyone looked at her in astonishment. They had never expected that this usually gentle woman could be so brave at this moment!
Although this plan was risky, it was quite feasible. Everyone nodded and quietly hid the Swiss Army knives.

As a manager, Little Penguin is not very strong physically, but he is very smart.

There was a strong man named Tu Dali in the team. He took the initiative to take over the task of hiding the knife and put it properly into his pocket.

As time passed, the stench in the room decreased slightly, but it returned due to frequent use of the toilet.

The warehouse was filled with "fragrance" from time to time, and everyone covered their noses with their collars, some were talking, and some were sleeping.

Fang Lan wanted to share some ghost stories with Alex to ease the tense atmosphere, but the stench in the room made her lose interest and she had to give up.

Until the next morning, the door burst open.

A group of men in black pushed a silver cabinet and walked in, escorted by armed bandits.

Someone else took away the toilet in the corner.

Afterwards, the man in black held a hair dryer and blew it around the room to dispel the stench and bring in fresh air.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and looked happy.

Fang Lan stared at the cabinet, feeling that there was food inside. Sure enough, after the black-clad man who was blowing the wind left, the gangsters ordered everyone to line up to receive the food.

The food was extremely simple, just bread and water.

No one complained about the poor quality of the food, after all they had just experienced the torment of the stench, and some even thought it was unnecessary. But seeing the situation, they had to accept it, so everyone stepped forward to receive it.

Although they received food, some did not taste it, and some only drank a sip of water.

Only the little penguin still had an appetite and was eating with gusto.

Fang Lan did not move, but simply gave her food to the little penguin to help him fill his stomach.

At this moment, she felt that yesterday's plan was a joke and was totally unfeasible.

Men in black never travel alone, and they are all big and strong, armed with guns. How can a Swiss Army knife deal with them?

"Oh, I can only let nature take its course." Fang Lan thought to herself.

After the food was distributed, the bandits closed the door again.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Ellis suggested: "Can we send a signal to the outside world? For example, leave a message on a coin and throw it out the window?"

Fang Lan nodded when she heard this, and many movie plots emerged in her mind.

"Does everyone have money?" Fang Lan asked, looking around at everyone.

After everyone searched around, they found that only the little penguin had hidden a hundred euros in his underwear pocket.

This is his emergency preparedness.

"As expected of a manager, you are very shrewd." Fang Lan said with a smile, and asked who had a pen.

But no one carried it.

Seeing that there was money but no pen, Fang Lan frowned and almost pinched the coin.

"Why not use a Swiss Army knife to carve words on the bread crust and then stick it on the money?" suggested the little penguin.

Everyone agreed that this seemed to be the only feasible solution.

Someone took out the bread, cut off a piece of crust with a knife, carved the word "savelives!" on it, and then used saliva to stick the crust to the money and waited for it to dry.

Two hours later, the saliva dried up and the bread crust stuck firmly. Then they folded the money into small squares to hide the bread crust inside for greater safety.

Then, everyone found a vent and threw the money out with all their might.

Everyone gathered around the vent, trying to look out. The vent was about the same size as the peephole on the security door.

It was pitch black outside, with oil stains all over the ground, dust flying everywhere, and the house was gray.

The sun is high in the sky, but as dim as a night light, as if you are in the "white night" described by Keigo Higashino.

After the money was thrown out, no one paid any attention to it for a long time.

Everyone took turns waiting until Ji Moshi's colleague was on duty. He shouted in frustration and sat down dejectedly.

It turned out that he saw a puppy running over, first scratching the money with its claws, then tearing it into pieces and swallowing the bread, while the money flew away in the wind.

"What's going on?" the little penguin asked anxiously. That was his private money, his life-saving money.

"The bread was eaten by the dog and the money was blown away by the wind." Ji Mosi said in annoyance, his eyes revealing endless indifference, which coincided with his name.

"Oh, my money!" The little penguin regretted as if he had lost a treasure.

Everyone fell into depression again.

Ellis said angrily: “There are not only evil people here, but also evil dogs!
There are so many things to eat on the street, but they choose to eat ours! Now I understand why some people eat dog meat! I hate dogs!" Fang Lan burst into laughter, punched her and said with a smile: "Don't be desperate! The dog can't read, and it's not spiritual, don't blame it too much!"

"Humph, it's so annoying!" Ellis was still very angry.

Fang Lan smiled and ignored her, secretly planning an escape plan in her mind.

After much thought, she could only call Lin Chen in her heart, hoping that the telepathy between lovers would help him find her.

In China, Lin Chen was currently at the Charles Hotel in Shuiyu City, sitting cross-legged, drinking wine and gazing at the city scenery outside the window.

The Charles Hotel has fourteen floors and is a five-star hotel.

The room that Lin Chen rented was located on the top floor and was a spacious room with an industrial style.

There is a huge floor-to-ceiling window in the room, made of transparent tempered glass, with wavy brown silk inlaid on the top, and red curtains tied and hanging in the corners, making the window look like a large stage.

The sun is scorching, pouring into the room through the windows. Outside is the hustle and bustle of Shuiyu City. The tall buildings and low houses are like termite nests, and people are moving around like little ants, busy or leisurely.

Suddenly, he felt Fang Lan's call.

I looked around, but there was nothing unusual.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that the WeChat messages he sent to Fang Lan in the past few days had never received a reply, and her phone had been turned off.

I originally thought that there was only something wrong with Fang Lan's phone, but now I have a vague feeling that this may not be the case!
Lin Chen stood up suddenly and immediately called Fang Lan's company.

But no one answered!
He thought that the people in the company were on vacation and that there might be no one on duty in the small company, so he called the police.

"Oh, is it convenient for you to come over?" The police officer seemed to be drunk and spoke unclearly.

Lin Chen was unhappy, but thinking of Fang Lan's safety, he responded coldly: "Okay, wait a moment."

He went out, got in his Tesla, and quickly arrived at the nearby police station.

After entering the police station, he saw only one policeman on duty in the duty room. He went forward to explain the situation, and the policeman nodded and responded: "You need to report this case to the local police station."

Lin Chen was so angry that he almost wanted to beat him up. He said coldly: "Then why do you want me to come here in person?!"

"Oh, this is a fixed procedure." The police responded indifferently.

Lin Chen turned away angrily. He didn't want to get entangled with the police.

So he drove directly to Linhai Police Station.

Soon they arrived at the Linhai Police Station, and he told the police everything. But the police said calmly, "There have been several such cases."

After that, he handed the case file to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen saw that the people who reported the case were all family members of Fang Lan's company! It seemed that something had happened to the entire tour group!

He hurriedly asked the police: "What is the progress of the case now?"

"Oh, we are going through the process," the police responded. "Please understand that international cases need to be reported to criminal police at all levels, and then through Interpol, we can get support from local police. This process may take some time."

Lin Chen curled his lips. Although he knew that the police were telling the truth, he didn't want to wait that long.

If it were an ordinary citizen, it would be fine.

But he is a billionaire with connections to all the major war zones. If he can only sit there and watch the police go through the process, wouldn't that be laughable? What's the point of all this money and connections?

So Lin Chen strode out of the police station and immediately called An Ran.

An Ran knew Lin Chen was extremely anxious when she heard it, and immediately arranged for relevant personnel to speed up the investigation.

Lin Chen called the newspaper again and prepared to arrange a press conference.

The next morning, in conference room 402 of the Binhe Five-Star Hotel in Linhai City.

The spacious conference room was filled with flashing lights and reporters.

There was a banner hanging on the podium that read "Press Conference on Tour Group Accident."

Soon, Lin Chen walked into the conference room and reporters raised their cameras and took pictures.

Lin Chen's face was serious but gentle. He believed that with his efforts, he would be able to achieve the desired results.

He cleared his throat and said, "Ms. Fang Lan's tour group has been traveling in Europe for many days and has lost contact for several days. All family members have called the police. As Ms. Fang Lan's boyfriend, I solemnly declare that anyone who attempts to harm Ms. Fang Lan will be severely punished."

At the same time, we eagerly hope that the police can quickly solve this case. We will give generous rewards to any friends who can provide useful clues. "

After the reporters wrote down these words, they began the question-and-answer session.

A female reporter asked first: "Excuse me, when and where did the case happen?"

"Oh, it happened three days ago. As for the location, according to the last message my girlfriend gave me, she was in the capital of Bainu and the Republic." Lin Chen answered clearly.

There were not many valuable questions in the subsequent questions, so Lin Chen ended the reception.

On the same day, major evening newspapers reported the incident with eye-catching headlines.

Citizens were talking about this and lamented the criminals' audacity.

"You said that China is now one of the world's top powers, and there are still people who dare to attack us. Isn't this courting death?"

"That's right. According to the latest remarks by the Russian president, China is already the world's largest economy in terms of purchasing power. Our aircraft carrier has been launched, and our spacecraft has landed on the moon. Our strength is enough to be on par with the United States. These foreigners don't open their eyes and see clearly before they do bad things!"

"Indeed."

"But then again, a tall tree attracts the wind, there's nothing we can do about it. They're just jealous!"

"What the above person said is right. As the saying goes, 'Money is something outside of one's body. Hoarding too much of it can easily lead to disaster.'"

……

On An Ran's side, the intervention of the special forces immediately made the police nervous. They quickly mobilized police forces to form a special case detection team and started working day and night.

At the same time, through the relationship of the war zone leaders, news of the case was also passed to Europe.

After European newspapers reprinted the local news, it immediately caused a sensation in Europe. Interpol also quickly formed a special task force to crack the case.

In the bearded man's studio, he was holding a newspaper and speaking to his brothers in the local language: "Look, these guys are quite influential. The matter has come to our side! We must quickly get the buyer to confirm and process the goods, otherwise this deal may not be done!"

"Yes. Once the evidence is destroyed, who can find us? We must speed up!" said the handsome man firmly.

The bearded man ordered his men to strengthen guard to ensure the safety of Fang Lan and others.

Inside the local police station, police officers stood in two rows, listening to the chief's speech.

"Today's mission, we are divided into two teams to solve the case. This is the first time such a case has happened here, and it is really embarrassing.
