Marrying My Bestie's Ferocious Brother - He Calls Me His Baby!-Chapter 206 - 205: He Said the Next One, Boom!
Jiang Zhou’s words were like a thunderbolt exploding in the room.
Just a second ago, the two elderly professors were arguing vehemently over whose "toy" was more advanced. Suddenly, they went silent.
Professor Liu’s face turned pale instantly.
"The cathode-ray tube production line?"
"The one from Germany?"
Professor Wang was also dumbfounded, and the apple flower in his hand dropped to the ground with a thud.
It was an invaluable asset that the country spent an enormous amount of foreign exchange and countless connections to bring in!
In all of Beijing, there was only this one!
Jiang Zhou looked crestfallen, struggling to articulate his words.
"Just finished debugging, the first batch of products hasn’t even rolled out yet..."
"And it blew up!"
"Now the entire color TV factory has stopped, the losses... the losses are immeasurable!"
Professor Liu quivered his lips and suddenly pointed at Professor Wang.
"It’s all your fault!"
"That rotten apple of yours! Bad luck!"
Professor Wang was so furious he jumped up and down.
"Nonsense! It’s clearly your wretched watch! Torn apart, it’s bad luck!"
"You’re the one who’s unlucky!"
"Your whole family is unlucky!"
The two nationally treasured professors, like two three-year-olds, were on the verge of a fight.
"Enough with the arguing!"
Lin Wan Yi’s voice wasn’t loud, but it carried a calm strength, dousing over the both of them.
The room fell silent instantly.
Everyone’s eyes focused on her.
There wasn’t a trace of panic on Lin Wan Yi’s face.
She turned to Gu Lan and said, "Xiao Lan, stay home, don’t go anywhere."
Then, she instructed Wang Guihua, who just emerged from the inner room, "Aunt Wang, pack An An and Ning Ning’s bottles, diapers, and two thick pieces of clothing in a bag."
Her orders were clear, and her calmness was terrifying.
Jiang Zhou was stunned.
"Sister-in-law, are you..."
Lin Wan Yi picked up the coat hanging on the wall.
"I’m going to the factory."
As she dressed, she said, "Now is not the time to assign blame. We need to see where the problem is and whether it can be fixed."
Her sentence snapped everyone back to their senses.
Right!
The most important thing now is to solve the problem!
Jiang Zhou seemed to have found his backbone, nodding continuously.
"Right, right! Sister-in-law, please come and take a look! The German experts at the factory are at a loss!"
Wang Guihua quickly packed the items and put them in a large cloth bag.
Lin Wan Yi took the bag and was about to leave.
The hem of her garment was suddenly grabbed by a small force.
Looking down, she saw Gu An sitting in a stroller, gripping her clothes tightly with his little hands.
His eyes, so similar to Gu Yanshen’s, weren’t looking at anyone.
He was staring in the direction of the door.
In his eyes was an unprecedented agitation and resistance.
"Crack."
"Crack...crack..."
He made rapid, mechanical misalignment noises from his mouth.
His small body was tense, like a drawn bow.
Lin Wan Yi’s heart skipped a beat.
This reaction!
It was exactly the same as when they were attacked in the alley yesterday!
Jiang Zhou was a bit anxious, "Sister-in-law, the car is just downstairs..."
Lin Wan Yi ignored him.
She crouched down and looked into her son’s eyes.
"An An, is there danger outside?"
Gu An couldn’t speak.
He just held onto her clothes more tightly, his little brow furrowing.
Both Professor Liu and Professor Wang noticed something was amiss.
"This child..."
Lin Wan Yi stood up.
Countless thoughts flashed through her mind, finally settling on the warning in her son’s eyes.
She chose to trust him.
Without any hesitation.
Lin Wan Yi said to Wang Guihua, "Aunt Wang, take the children and come with us."
Everyone was stunned.
Jiang Zhou stammered, "Sister-in-law... taking the children to the factory?"
"That place is chaotic, filled with machines..."
"I said to bring them, so bring them."
Lin Wan Yi’s tone was resolute.
She picked up Gu Ning with one arm and folded the stroller with the other.
"Let’s go."
A single word, crisp and decisive.
The jeep sped along.
The atmosphere inside the car was tense.
Professor Liu and Professor Wang insisted on coming along, now sitting in the back with heavy expressions on their faces.
Wang Guihua clutched the two children, her face full of worry.
Only Lin Wan Yi, leaning against the window, watched the scenery speed by as if nothing had happened.
...
The color TV factory.
Before even entering the gate, a strong burnt smell hit the nose.
The factory entrance was crowded with workers, each wearing a worried and gloomy expression.
Seeing Jiang Zhou bringing Lin Wan Yi over, the crowd automatically made way.
A middle-aged man in an official uniform scrambled over, it was Director Wang of the color TV factory.
He grabbed Lin Wan Yi’s hand, nearly in tears.
"Advisor Lin! Thank goodness you came!"
"It’s all my fault! My poor management let this happen due to worker error!"
Director Wang was sobbing, shoving a report into Lin Wan Yi’s hands.
"This is the accident report, I’ve signed it, and all the responsibility is on me! Just sign it, and this matter will be... settled..."
He urged, his eyes evasive.
Lin Wan Yi didn’t take the report.
She glanced at the surrounding technicians, whose faces showed not only frustration but also resentment and reluctance.
Lin Wan Yi pushed Director Wang aside.
"Take me to the workshop."
Director Wang’s face froze, "The workshop has exploded into ruins, it’s dangerous..."
"Take me to the workshop."
Lin Wan Yi repeated, her voice growing cold.
Director Wang didn’t dare intercept anymore.
The crowd escorted Lin Wan Yi into the sealed core production workshop.
Inside was utter chaos.
The ceiling was blacked by smoke, the ground littered with shattered glass and twisted metal parts.
The production line that held so much hope now lay like a gutted steel corpse.
A few blue-eyed, blonde-haired German experts stood shaking their heads and sighing.
Director Wang was still babbling on the side, "It’s that pressure valve, worker Xiao Zhang didn’t tighten it properly, causing the chain explosion, I’ve already suspended him..." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
Lin Wan Yi seemed not to hear.
She walked over to the core machine that exploded and crouched down.
The pungent smell of engine oil and burnt matter mixed in the air.
Her gaze fell onto an inconspicuous temperature control valve.
The valve’s connection was clean.
But at the edge of the screw, there was an extremely fine, fresh scratch.
As if forcibly turned by an ill-fitting tool.
Lin Wan Yi stood up, dusting off her hands.
She turned back and looked at Director Wang.
"Director Wang."
"This is not a mistake in operation."
"Someone tampered with the temperature control components."
Her words were earth-shattering!
The entire workshop fell dead silent.
At that moment.
Gu An, who was held by Wang Guihua, suddenly started struggling.
Since entering the workshop, he was no longer agitated.
His bright black eyes scanned each machine in the workshop like a radar.
His little finger pointed past the pile of explosive debris.
Pointing accurately to the other end of the workshop.
There sat a backup machine covered with a dust cover.
Seemingly intact.
Gu An opened his little mouth.
Under everyone’s gaze, he spit out two incredibly clear words.
"Boom."
"Boom!"
