Chapter 595 - 593: The Operation
There was toilet paper in the restroom, so there was no need to prepare. Li Jun was a police officer. Since entering, he began observing the surroundings to prepare for the upcoming stealthy escape.
The person tailing him was a young guy in his twenties, looking somewhat frail. Li Jun was delighted, guessing that this person was also just doing his duty and wouldn’t keep staring at him constantly.
Without much thought, Li Jun hid in the restroom and then opened the toilet, undoing his belt. His purpose was to make some noise to make the other side think it was real.
Sure enough, after listening for a short while, the guy pinched his nose and walked away because Li Jun had actually let out a fart.
About a minute later, Li Jun stood up, fastened his clothes, and looked outside to find that the young guy had sneakily fallen asleep.
"Damn, this is true dedication to duty."
Li Jun was thrilled; this was a blessing from above. After observing his surroundings, he quietly climbed from one stall to another.
Because the young guy was directly opposite his stall, and Li Jun slipped down from the side of the stall, taking advantage of the guy’s nap to swiftly dash out the door.
The agility of a soldier was different; with a quick move, he was outside.
Clearly, the young guy on guard hadn’t noticed that Li Jun was already strolling outside, but he wasn’t leisurely strolling; he was on official business.
He now had two tasks: one was to find the enemy’s warehouse where the goods were stored, and the other was to find an exit, as he was brought in blindfolded.
No matter who it is, everyone entering their factory must be blindfolded; it’s the rule. Otherwise, if you recognize the way and turn out to be a spy, this place would be discovered.
Li Jun quickly walked out; the production line wasn’t far off. Normally, in a factory, the warehouse would be in a more hidden place. So Li Jun walked towards the less populated area, and after about two minutes, suddenly noticed a small house in front with four people outside.
"Ha, if my guess is correct, this must be the warehouse. Otherwise, why are so many people guarding it?"
Li Jun thought to himself and slowly approached the warehouse, as he wasn’t a hundred percent sure. What if he made a mistake?
This was the crux of the matter, so Li Jun planned to proceed; even if discovered, he would take the risk.
"I heard a rich lady is coming to inspect the goods this afternoon. Let’s prepare some stock, meticulously pick some, and set aside the ones with slightly inferior quality. Don’t let them get discovered; lowering the price, the boss will blame us, and then we’ll be in trouble."
The forty-something guard instructed the three young men at the doorway.
"Yes, Huzi," the three replied in unison.
Li Jun heard their conversation and was immediately delighted. This was undoubtedly the warehouse.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly turned back, as he’d been sneaking out for quite some time and would be suspected if he didn’t return soon. Besides, the young guy watching him must have already realized something was wrong.
Luckily, Li Jun was quite clever; before coming out, he lightly opened the toilet door from the inside.
Otherwise, he would definitely be suspected because if you don’t open the door and climb out from inside, there’s definitely something fishy; it’s self-explanatory.
"Who’s there?"
At this moment, the man named Huzi suddenly noticed someone appearing on the side and quickly led two subordinates running over. Bao was a cultivator; although his strength wasn’t very strong, he did have Yellow Dao one star, making him quite formidable compared to ordinary people.
Li Jun smiled bitterly, not expecting his small movements to be discovered. It felt a bit like being caught off guard, but he couldn’t blame himself as he was not a cultivator; their strength, even small, was much stronger than his, especially Sensing Ability.
In just a moment, the three surrounded Li Jun.
He couldn’t reveal his strength, so he deliberately said, "What are you guys doing? I just got lost after using the restroom, could you tell me the way to the production line?"
"You’re a production line worker? Why are you here? Hurry back to work, don’t wander around. Didn’t your boss tell you?" Huzi was somewhat angry. This was a rule; whether new or old employees, Miss Li always explained clearly. It was impossible she hadn’t told this kid.
"What? Miss Li did mention it, but since I’m new here, I got dizzy when I exited the restroom and lost my direction. I really apologize, and I’ll go now."
Li Jun took a deep breath, his heart about to burst out from his chest. He almost blew his cover.
He understood well what blowing cover meant; it was a serious situation. His failure meant the failure of the entire mission. It would alert the enemy, and they’d never catch the Earth Dragon Organization all at once again.
"Fine, fine, go back quickly. We’ll just assume you took a wrong turn; if I see you again, it won’t be that simple. I’ll report you to Master Hu Fei. Hmph, be careful." Huzi said and then led the two others back to guard the warehouse.
Li Jun let out a deep sigh of relief, a narrow escape.
So he quickly headed back. Just as he reached the restroom door, he saw the young guy who was watching him searching everywhere in the restroom, worried like an ant on a hot pan, sweating profusely in such cold weather.
How could he not be worried?
If something really happened, he would be responsible. He might even be beaten and disabled, locked in a cage, and treated like an animal. He had seen such atrocious punishments here before — unforgettable for a lifetime.
"Hey, what are you doing, man?" Li Jun said deliberately with a turn of his eye.
"What?" The young guy, flustered, suddenly noticed Chen Tianlong standing not far down the hallway, hurried out, and asked directly, "Where did you run off to? You were clearly in the restroom just now!"
"What? Where did I run off to? I didn’t go anywhere, and besides, do I need to report where I use the restroom?"
Li Jun found it a bit funny; a tail was discovered yet still bragged so shamelessly — perhaps only here could such things happen.
"Hmph, yes, I’m specifically responsible for tailing you. Where exactly did you go? Tell me truthfully, or else things won’t look good for you." The young guy suddenly became arrogant. After all, he was given authority and had nothing to fear.
"Oh, I just came out after having diarrhea and saw you sleeping there. You see, being the shiny new guy, I didn’t dare to disturb your nap. Later, when you woke up and beat me up, who would I talk to?"
Li Jun said deliberately, "So, I walked out by myself, didn’t see the road properly, thought the place ahead was the production line, walked for a while, then realized it was wrong; how come I didn’t see the crew, then I looked up and damn, realized I was going the wrong way, so I came back."
