Chapter 90: My Equipment?
He easily opened the door, Chen Yongren directly pushed the door and walked into the warehouse.
This is a short passage, cigarette butts of varying lengths scattered on the ground; it should be where the warehouse workers smoke to pass the time.
Because he kept Insight active, he could confirm there was no one inside the warehouse, and Chen Yongren swaggered into the warehouse interior.
Boxes of various sizes were neatly arranged in the warehouse.
Chen Yongren picked up the crowbar by the wall, casually opened a wooden crate, inside were rows of items wrapped in cowhide paper.
He opened one containing machine-tool blades, still with uncleaned grease on them.
He opened several more packages, which similarly contained brand-new blades.
It seems those Western devils had disassembled the machine tools into parts and shipped them here.
Damn, this is good stuff, Chen Yongren couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
You damned little devils, still dreaming of using this batch of equipment to make weapons to invade us—go on with your wet dreams.
Chen Yongren didn't hesitate, skillfully placed his hand on the box, a thought moved, and he directly stored it in his system space.
He opened the system warehouse.
In the item bar appeared a small wooden crate icon; clicking the icon also showed the details of the items inside the crate, quite user-friendly.
Chen Yongren's smile became even more radiant.
He was too lazy to open every box and check; anything he could see before him, Chen Yongren collected into his system.
Afterwards, Chen Yongren went to several nearby warehouses as well.
He unlocked them and stored the boxes in the warehouse.
Half an hour later, Auspicious Prosperous Foreign Firm's warehouse had been emptied by Chen Yongren, but the damned system's warehouse still wasn't full.
After looting Auspicious Prosperous Foreign Firm's warehouse clean, Chen Yongren quickly left this place of right and wrong, preparing to go home and then tally his spoils.
Having seized so much good stuff, he couldn't just let it go to waste; he needed to figure out how to make use of these equipments.
After making sure nothing was missed, Chen Yongren again left the warehouse along the original route.
Whether it was the Ugly Country or the Japanese, they could never have imagined that someone could single-handedly loot their warehouse clean.
As for those coolies?
Anyway, Chen Yongren had used Insight; they were not Huaxia people.
They were just a bunch of beasts relying on foreigners to survive, looking down on the Chinese in their hearts.
Such beasts—dead is dead.
Chen Yongren felt no psychological burden.
……
Not long after Chen Yongren left,
Two black sedans pulled up at the warehouse entrance, with a long line of trucks following behind the cars.
The car doors opened.
From each car stepped out a big-eared, fatty man, with sparse blond hair on his head, a red nose, and a big belly—a Western male.
The fat on his belly almost strained to burst the suit buttons.
The other fellow was short and thin, dressed in a pretentious black suit, wearing white gloves, with a neatly trimmed mustache—clearly a Japanese beast at a glance.
After the two got out of the cars, under the protection of their nearby guards, they hurried toward the warehouse interior.
"Shi Di Wen, I think our deal this time will surely go very smoothly!" The Japanese couldn't suppress the smile on his face, speaking fluent English.
"Jing Shang, I guarantee you this is absolutely a deal that gives more than its worth." The foreign devil called Shi Di Wen rubbed his nose and laughed.
"This damn weather is freezing cold, Jing Shang, hurry up and finish the inspection, then we'll go back to the consulate to celebrate properly!"
Jing Shang Xiong Yi looked at the warehouse, his eyes revealing greed.
This bunch of Ugly Country guys finally agreed to sell the machine tools to us.
With these equipments, our upcoming battles will go more smoothly; once we take Asia, we can continue to conquer the world.
"Don't waste time, open the door and let our good friend have a look!" Shi Di Wen waved his fat hand, urging his subordinates to open the door.
A young white man stepped forward, took out a key, and opened the chains wrapped around the door one by one.
Only then did the coolies step forward and heave the door open.
Jing Shang Xiong Yi stared fixedly at the warehouse, unable to clench his fists, his expression growing more excited.
After the inspection succeeded and the balance paid, this batch of equipment could be taken away in full!
But when the door opened, looking at the empty warehouse before his eyes,
"What?" Jing Shang Xiong Yi's expression froze on the spot, and he couldn't help uttering a phrase from his hometown.
"whatfuck!" Shi Di Wen grabbed his scarce hair with his right hand, looking at the warehouse with a stunned expression.
Not just them, the people nearby also all stared dumbfounded.
The warehouse that had been full of crates was now empty.
Shi Di Wen rushed into the warehouse, glanced around, his expression showing a hint of confusion.
Gone.
The goods stored in the warehouse had all disappeared!
He himself had personally seen these equipments enter the warehouse.
Only a few hours had passed before and after—why did they suddenly vanish?
Could it be an inside job?
Shi Di Wen turned his head to look at those coolies.
"No, it wasn't us."
"It has nothing to do with us, sir; please believe us."
We don't know what's going on.
These laborers were terrified, they all knelt on the ground, kowtowing and begging Steven for mercy while muttering.
Steven, is this what you call the cargo? Inoue Yuichi looked at Steven, his face dark, and asked, "Where is my equipment!"
Do you mean to tell me you're selling the emperor's equipment, visible only to the wise?
Steven instantly felt a toothache, had no mind to pay attention to Inoue Yuichi's mockery, and shouted urgently, "Quick, quick, go open the other warehouses!"
His dazed subordinates beside him snapped to, rushing toward the warehouses on either side.
As expected, it was not what Steven had anticipated.
Nothing.
All gone.
Steven only felt dizzy, he kicked over those laborers one after another, clenched his fists and shouted at them.
What's going on!
What on earth is going on!
How did you guard the warehouse doors!
Seeing Steven grimacing, these laborers trembled with fear.
Mr. Steven, I need an explanation! Inoue Yuichi said coldly.
We've already paid the deposit; do you mean to tell us we can't get our own goods?
Looking at the empty warehouse, Steven wore a grim face, with only one thought in his mind.
Doomed.
The transaction between the two sides ended in a very embarrassing manner.
Steven almost fled as he left.
Inoue Yuichi's expression wasn't any better.
I had thought we could haul all the equipment away today.
As a result, we only waited for an empty warehouse.
No good.
This matter must be investigated thoroughly; we cannot just let it go!
Not to mention Inoue Yuichi, even the Ugly State is desperately searching for this equipment.
Enough parts to assemble 200 pieces of equipment certainly wouldn't disappear for no reason.
And this piece of news.
Like a heavy bomb, it suddenly exploded in the Songhu intelligence circles.
