Chapter 599: Chapter 592: Going to F Province
Sisi had just walked out of the alleyway when she found a flowerbed to vomit into. Luckily, she hadn’t eaten lunch yet, so all she threw up was some clean water. Earlier, she put on an aloof facade in front of the three men, but inside, she was utterly nauseated by those strips of meat.
This Lingchi method was something she learned from Tian Xinhui. Tian Xinhua said this technique was particularly effective for forced confessions; he had tried it many times, and it never failed.
Indeed, Lingchi was very effective for interrogation, but its visual impact was too strong. She decided never to use this method again, so as not to torture herself.
The next day, Sisi set off with Shangguan to Province F. Province F wasn’t too far from Province G, so after finishing her business, she could visit her husband.
Sisi and Shangguan first went to Yinong Company. Xiao Zhang, in his last visit, was too rushed and didn’t manage to photograph the entire factory. Since the goal was to raise public awareness of environmental issues, the materials had to be complete.
Entering the factory to take photos wasn’t difficult for them. The workshop was closed for a few days, and aside from a few guards at the front gate, there was no one in the factory area.
As soon as they entered the workshop, they were hit by a strong pesticide odor. Even wearing masks didn’t help much. Just being there for a short while made Sisi feel lightheaded and a bit nauseous, and Shangguan felt the same.
She quickly took out Qiong Wine from her bag, letting Shangguan take a few sips before she did the same. Only then did they feel somewhat better.
Sisi also took out two gas masks from her bag, actually from the Space. Shangguan gave her a surprised look as if to say, "What doesn’t she have in that big bag of hers?"
Once they put on the gas masks, they felt comfortable. The toxin in the air was so severe that an ordinary person couldn’t endure it for a day. How the workshop workers managed to withstand it was beyond understanding.
According to Xiao Zhang, Yinong Company offered relatively high wages. Workshop workers could earn about three hundred yuan a month, which was higher than the average worker in a state-owned factory.
Most of these workers were local farmers, used to hard work and hardship. There was no suffering they couldn’t endure. Although they couldn’t stand it initially, over time they got used to it. For those three hundred yuan high wages, they persevered.
This was actually chronic poisoning. The toxins from these pesticides would accumulate in the body and, over time, reach a critical point where they would surely cause harm.
Sisi and Shangguan photographed every corner of the workshops, especially noting the production dates of the equipment. These devices were old equipment eliminated by R nation, but they were transferred to Z nation to harm its people and make money off them—truly despicable.
Particularly those ’HM’ products coming off the assembly lines, which had been banned from production and use in R nation since 1975. Those nefarious R nation bastards!
Sisi was disgusted by the malicious intentions of the R nation people, but she despised her own countrymen even more for helping them harm their compatriots for some immediate profit, destroying their own homeland. These people were even more hateful than the R nation people!
After photographing the workshops, Sisi and Shangguan headed to the village where Xiao Zhang’s informant was. Last time, Xiao Zhang had to conduct his investigation quickly since someone drove him away before he could ask many questions. The villagers were too scared to answer any of his questions and went home.
Sisi and Shangguan disguised themselves as college students out on a trip. Both of them looked quite young, and with a little tidying up, they managed to pull off the youthful look.
Perhaps because two young girls didn’t attract much attention, Sisi and Shangguan gathered even more materials. They recorded sounds and took numerous photos of people who had fallen sick from the poisoning. These people looked ill and weak, unable to do any farm work.
"They’ve become cripples!"
That was the cry of a man around thirty years old who had been resuscitated, his voice filled with despair and sorrow, making Sisi feel a pang in her heart.
Before leaving, she left a sum of money for each of the poisoned families, not much, one thousand yuan per family, as a gesture of her goodwill.
With the evidence collected, the next step was to settle scores with the Hu Brothers and the R nation leader!
Sisi first sought out Mr. Dubian. According to locals, Mr. Dubian rarely visited the factory, coming at most once a month, and even then, just taking a casual tour, wearing a mask.
He didn’t live in the factory but had a permanent suite at the city’s largest hotel, living quite comfortably.
It seemed that Mr. Dubian was quite afraid of death!
Being afraid of death would make coercion easier, wouldn’t it?!
When Sisi and her team found Dubian, he was enjoying a double act in the hotel and having a great time, except for that jiggling mass of fat, which was rather offensive to the eyes.
"Smack!"
Shangguan picked up a bar of disposable soap from the bathroom and threw it at Dubian, hitting his wobbling big fat buttocks squarely, scaring the pig into flaccidity.
Shangguan tied up the two women and gagged them to prevent them from making noise.
The fat Dubian had to dress under Sisi’s orders, his flabby flesh truly unpleasant to watch.
This guy was indeed very afraid of death; when Shangguan took out the Dagger and waved it in front of him, he confessed everything, about the HM being banned in R nation, and how the equipment was outdated and scrapped in his home country.
Under Sisi’s demand, Dubian repeated it in both R language and common language, trying to be cunning with his R language version by skimping and altering a lot, perhaps thinking Sisi and Shangguan wouldn’t understand R language and could be fooled?
"Be honest, or my knife, which hasn’t tasted blood for a long time, might just do your talking for you.?"
Sisi scolded in pure R language, waving the Dagger in front of him again, forcing Dubian to obediently repeat everything in R language without any tricks this time.
From Dubian’s words, Sisi learned that the major owner of the R-side joint venture in Yinong Company turned out to be the Takahashi family, one of the very famous Four Great Families of R nation, although this pesticide company was just one among the many under the Takahashi family.
The Takahashi family, Sisi thought the name sounded familiar, as if she’d heard it somewhere before, but she didn’t pay it much heed. After all, no matter who they were, they weren’t good people, for sure.
With evidence against R nation secured, Sisi satisfactorily stored the recording tape and also fed Dubian a blood assassination, set to activate a month later.
Next up was dealing with the Hu Brothers!
The Hu Brothers’ residence was in a village named Hu Village in City H. The Hu Family’s house was at the village entrance; the most imposing villa you’d see first upon entering was the Hu Family’s, according to the locals.
Sisi and Shangguan went to the Hu Family at night when the brothers were home. Though these two were brutal and domineering, they had one good trait: being henpecked. At night they would obediently return home, never daring to stray.
By now it was around nine o’clock in the evening, with most villagers probably asleep. Only a courtyard light was on in the front yard of the Hu Mansion, and the house was also dark, indicating they were all likely asleep too.
The Hu Mansion had four floors. According to rural customs, elders typically live on the first floor, while the top floor, due to the summer heat, was rarely inhabited—probably only used as storage, so the Hu brothers were likely on the second or third floor.
