Chapter 2526 A Minor Twist, Take It Down
Manager Wang's forehead was covered in sweat: "They are all sea husk carts weighing over 35 pounds each. If all four of them were to be fused together, they would weigh about the same as an adult."
"This is a serious accident!" Hu Xin exclaimed in anguish. "How did you do your job? Did one of your subordinates fail to follow the proper procedures when handling the goods?"
Manager Wang quickly admitted his mistake: "It is indeed strange, it is indeed strange, we are still looking for the cause."
"Investigate the cause? Now we should investigate the whereabouts of the giant sea-cart!"
"Yes, yes, you're right."
Hu Xin strode towards the entrance of the small world. "Manager Wang" followed closely behind, half a step behind him.
“I heard that seven plates of starfish were found clustered together in the terraced fields yesterday and couldn’t be separated, so they had to be collected.” Hu Xin glanced at him, her eyes filled with displeasure. “Why is the defect rate so high in the terraced fields you manage? Why don’t the other supervisors’ terraced fields have the same problems?”
"The warehouse where the accident happened, number three, was the warehouse managed by Manager Liu."
"What did you say?"
"It's nothing, it's nothing!" Steward Wang didn't dare to raise his head and said in a low voice, "Those starfish like to huddle together. If the laborers and slaves aren't careful, they'll huddle together."
This is not something they made up, but a real, existing problem.
Before his arrest, Manager Wang was fretting about how to report the incident.
The body of the Hidden God was forcibly broken into countless small pieces, but as the saying goes, like attracts like, they naturally gathered together and then merged.
This unauthorized integration is fraught with risk. Last time, a powerful force attempted to separate them, only to be devoured alive by the large, tightly packed starfish.
When it was still a small creature, it could eat shrimp, crabs, and shellfish. So what's so strange about it being able to eat people when it grows into a big one?
Unless each starfish planted in the terraces is separated so that they cannot huddle together.
However, these things also need the nutrients from flowing seawater and cannot be completely dehydrated and sealed. They can also crawl on their own, and at a considerable speed. They can even squeeze their bodies to squeeze out of the small holes, so this is a very difficult problem.
Even though the Hidden God Lord is dead, he continues to cause trouble for the Heavenly Demon every moment.
"You said it yourself, 'if we're not careful,'" Commander Hu said calmly. "Isn't that the problem?"
"Yes, yes, it's my fault for not disciplining them properly, which is why they've become lazy," said Manager Wang, played by He Lingchuan. "But, but, I have several hundred people under my command who have recently been transferred to excavate new terraces, leaving half of them to manage the old ones. Uh, I'm a bit overwhelmed."
"Chief Supervisor Deng said that problems must be overcome. This is not a problem you are facing alone. The entire Yanxia Bay is in dire need of manpower." Hu Xin sighed, which was rare for him. "Lingyun Palace suddenly took on this huge project. Who could have made prior preparations? Everyone has to share the burden and not give in to the difficulties in front of them."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the Bean Garden wore expressions that were hard to describe, except for Dong Rui, who chuckled and said:
"Good, good, well said. It's been a long time since anyone has said something like that to Jiuyou."
Aunt Zhu asked curiously, "Isn't this fellow just Deng Yanlong's subordinate? Why does he speak so arrogantly?"
Everyone smiled without saying a word, except for Ling Jinbao, who replied, "That's called being pretentious."
It's rare to see the Emperor bend over, so they all want to be in the front row to watch the show.
"Manager Wang" could only bow and repeatedly reply "Yes."
Hu Xin then asked, "Is there anything unusual in Baisong City?"
"I heard from the people below that several cultivators have arrived, and they seem to have noticed the appearance of the Night Demon."
Hu Xin's gaze sharpened slightly: "What did they discover?"
"Not yet, but their original purpose was to find someone, and I have already dealt with that."
“There have been very few cultivators in Baisong City over the years, but we cannot let our guard down. We need to investigate their backgrounds.” Hu Xin instructed, “If they have no powerful backers, kill them directly; if they are sent by Lingshan or Beka, report it immediately and have someone else from the palace follow up.”
At this moment, the two were very close to the exit of the Lotus Valley Small World, and it seemed they were only a few steps away from getting out. Suddenly, a maidservant walked up from behind:
"Commander Hu!"
Hu Xin turned around and smiled, "Miss Xiaoyun, is there something you need?"
"Master Xiao is at Tingyuan and wants to see you."
A chorus of boos erupted in the cardamom garden; everyone was anxious, worried that things might get complicated again!
Dong Rui retorted angrily, "Pah! You, surnamed He, don't you have the Destiny Godhead? How come we're so unlucky this time?"
"Now?" Hu Xin was also taken aback. "Did they say what it was about?"
He was in a hurry to get to Baiwanshan because the escaped car was an accident investigation, especially since it was such a large car!
The sea-shaped carts sent out by Lotus Valley were mostly small to medium-sized, with very few large ones. But there's a reason for their size; each large cart has its specific purpose, unlike the smaller ones which can be easily reused. Losing four of them at once is no small matter!
Hu Xin had been working at Tiangong for a long time and knew that there were many things that should be kept from superiors but not from subordinates. He could just deal with them himself as soon as possible and there was no need to report them to his superiors.
Why bother reporting it to higher authorities? It will only upset your superiors and cause you trouble.
Therefore, he was very anxious to go to Baiwanshan to deal with this matter and did not want to be called back by Master Xiao.
He usually had a good reputation, so Xiaoyun blinked twice and told him, "The stock of An Ding Xiang is running low, and we can't find it in the warehouse. It should have been restocked last night, but it's still empty. Seven or eight people couldn't find a single box. Master Xiao needs it right away, so he's a little unhappy."
"Oh, well!" So that's what it was about. "I've been so busy lately, I completely forgot!"
Stimulating incense is a powerful sedative drug that demon puppeteers often use in their experiments.
This was indeed within Hu Xin's responsibilities. Since Master Xiao's important business was delayed, he was going to call Hu Xin over and give him a good scolding.
Sigh, this job of having to read people's faces is not easy, Hu Xin thought quickly.
What should we do? We'll have to find a solution on the spot.
Before Hu Xin could even speak, Manager Wang, who was standing nearby, quickly chimed in with his astute observation:
"Officer Hu, leave this matter to me. There are a few boxes of tranquilizers in the warehouse in Eagle Beak Town. I'll get them for you right away! Take them to see Master Xiao, and she won't be so angry."
His only priority right now is to get Hu Xin out of the Lotus Valley!
“Okay, sure.” Hu Xin was delighted and quickly said to Xiao Yun, “Then I’ll go over there first, it won’t take up much time.”
"Hurry up, don't dawdle too long." Xiaoyun nodded, turned and left.
He Lingchuan accompanied Hu Xin as they continued towards the exit of Lotus Valley.
Before leaving, Hu Xin added one more thing:
"After you've inspected warehouse number three, go to Eagle's Beak Town immediately to retrieve the tranquilizing incense. Master Xiao's instructions must be carried out as soon as possible!"
"I know, I know," Manager Wang said with a smile, gesturing with his hand, "Please!"
Hu Guandai stepped out of the Lotus Valley miniature world.
