Chapter 147: Chapter 147: Escape from Death

The person in charge’s scolding grew louder and louder. The further Qiao Yi walked in, the more illegal drugs she saw, some of which were even drugs explicitly banned by the state!

If the situation here were to leak out, it’s not just Dianrui as a company that would be affected, but everyone associated with Dianrui would be in trouble!

Qiao Yi remained vigilant of her surroundings while trying to record as much of the internal situation of the factory as possible.

Although Xiao Ting did not know much about these drugs, she still recognized some that the state had declared not to be used.

After seeing these drug storage tanks, Xiao Ting immediately understood why Qiao Yi insisted on visiting the factory.

If one did not witness this with their own eyes, probably no one would believe that a pharmaceutical company with such a good reputation would secretly produce illegal drugs!

Xiao Ting was deeply moved as she watched Qiao Yi’s agile figure.

To think she would personally investigate such dangerous matters…

Xiao Ting closely followed Qiao Yi’s pace, walking around one large piece of equipment after another, until they finally arrived at a spot only separated by a wall from the person in charge.

Qiao Yi stopped, gave Xiao Ting a hand gesture to wait there, then like a large stealthy cat, she silently crept around the corner and disappeared from Xiao Ting’s view.

Not knowing where Qiao Yi had gone, Xiao Ting could only wait anxiously.

The person in charge nearby had finished scolding and was arranging for people to keep watch again.

Just as those people were about to disperse, Qiao Yi still had not returned.

“Who’s there!”

A sudden shout roared from behind Xiao Ting. Xiao Ting shuddered and stood up, looking back.

“Go!”

Suddenly, a hand landed on Xiao Ting’s shoulder. Without the chance to turn her head to see, Xiao Ting was already being dragged into another corridor.

“You, what did you go do!”

“I found the records room and got some documents. It seems I’ve alerted the factory guards. We need to hurry back to the place we were just at.”

Qiao Yi hugged a few documents in her arms, concealing them on her person as she ran.

Xiao Ting watched, wide-eyed, as Qiao Yi stuffed several documents into her pants and shirt, so well hidden they couldn’t be seen from the outside at all!

She actually had such skills!

There was no time left for Xiao Ting to be surprised, and she didn’t know how Qiao Yi knew all these routes in the factory, but she managed to lead Xiao Ting through twists and turns and quickly shook off the pursuers.

“This way!”

After a chaotic run, Xiao Ting was completely disoriented, but Qiao Yi just looked around and found the right direction, pulling Xiao Ting to walk briskly over.

“We’ve looked everywhere, there’s no one here!”

“Nothing on this side either!”

The person in charge, Master Sun, had a gloomy expression as he watched his employees running back. His gaze swept around and finally settled on the one who had raised the alarm first.

“You said you saw someone, where is the person?”

The person trembled as he walked out from the crowd, keeping his head down, not daring to meet eyes with the person in charge.

“I, I saw a figure, but…”

“Could it be that the two visitors who came today accidentally wandered over here?”

Someone stood out to provide this person with an explanation. The person in charge frowned deeply but didn’t pursue the matter further, instead taking his subordinates to check the surveillance cameras.

If those two really had discovered the factory’s secret, then things would become troublesome…

A group of people headed towards the surveillance room. Not long after they left the restricted area, they saw Qiao Yi, her face brimming with excitement, pulling an impatient Xiao Ting as they bounced their way over.

Perhaps because they had walked for a bit too long, Qiao Yi’s cheeks were flushed, endlessly talking with Xiao Ting and pointing at the equipment around them.

A glint of suspicion flashed in the eyes of the person in charge – the timing of their appearance was a little too coincidental.

If it wasn’t just a coincidence, then these two were highly suspicious!

Qiao Yi and Xiao Ting were momentarily stunned when they saw the group approaching, but Qiao Yi quickly approached with a smile.

“Master Sun, I’ve finally found you!”

“Looking for me?”

“Yes, I received a call from the company. There are some matters I need to handle, so I wanted to let you know!”

Qiao Yi’s face was filled with regret, her expression similar to that of a child, reluctantly called back home by their mother while playing outside – both unwilling and helpless.

The person in charge tried his best to spot a flaw on the face of the ‘acting’ girl. Perhaps his gaze was too intense, as Qiao Yi in turn seemed puzzled and touched her own face, asking.

“Did I accidentally smear something on my face?”

“Oh, no, it’s just a pity that Miss Qiao and Miss Xiao didn’t get a good chance to fully tour our factory.”

When the subject turned to touring, Qiao Yi’s interest was piqued again. She pulled out a small notebook from her bag and started asking several questions related to factory production.

The person in charge responded, his suspicions of the two slowly diminishing.

If those who were discovered earlier were really them, not to mention how two girls could avoid the surveillance and sneak into the restricted area, just looking at the situation now, they would presumably be in a hurry to leave the factory.

However, observing Qiao Yi, she clearly seemed reluctant to leave, while Xiao Ting appeared very impatient, constantly urging Qiao Yi to return to the company.

“Miss Qiao, if we don’t leave now, I’ll have to go by myself.”

Xiao Ting glanced at the time again impatiently and finally came over to interrupt Qiao Yi’s questioning, pulling Qiao Yi behind her and then turning around to nod apologetically at the person in charge.

“I’m sorry to disturb you this time, but there’s indeed an emergency at the company. We’ll visit again next time when there’s a chance.”

The person in charge was very amiable, smiling as he sent the reluctant Qiao Yi out of the factory. Once back, he ordered the factory to be completely sealed off and insisted on thoroughly searching every corner.

As Xiao Ting stepped out of the factory, she was about to heave a sigh of relief but Qiao Yi grabbed her arm, walking out unhurriedly, even occasionally stopping to look at some equipment outside the factory.

Only after the two got into the car and drove out of the factory’s bounds did Qiao Yi finally relax her expression.

“We’re safe now, Ma Yu, head straight to Lu Group!”

Xiao Ting turned to look back at the factory, a chill running down her spine.

If it weren’t for Qiao Yi’s calm intervention, she might have already revealed a flaw!

At that moment, they were still within the factory’s bounds. If they had been surrounded by the factory’s staff, while Qiao Yi might have escaped easily, she would have been left with no way out but death!

Xiao Ting’s gaze towards Qiao Yi became even more respectful, carrying an admiration she did not even realize.

What Xiao Ting didn’t know was that from the moment they left the factory, the surveillance had recorded all their actions, and it was only after watching the two leave unhurriedly that the person in charge in the surveillance room finally discarded his suspicions of them.
