Chapter 1330 Self-Inflicted
Immediately after, Wang San took out tools from his bag. His movements were fluid and natural, not at all clumsy, but rather delicate, which was truly surprising.
Chen Xuan couldn't help but look at Wang San more closely.
He had initially thought Wang San was a thug, but he didn't expect his skills to be quite good. Although he didn't understand the electrical industry well, just based on his pleasing technique, he felt Wang San was an outstanding individual.
Soon, Wang San connected the wires, tightened them with a screwdriver, and took out a test pen to check. The test pen lit up, indicating there was power. He turned back to Chen Xuan and said, "It's done."
Chen Xuan called Su Yunxi and learned that Yun Duan Technology had power.
"We have power," Chen Xuan said.
"Then I'll be going," Wang San said, tossing his tools into his bag and picking it up to leave.
However, Chen Xuan stopped him. "Don't rush off."
"What for?"
Wang San looked at Chen Xuan with a fearful gaze.
"Wang San, I see your skills are quite good," Chen Xuan said casually, reaching into his pocket and pulling out a cigarette to offer him.
Seeing this, Wang San relaxed his guard and reached out to take the cigarette.
He seemed to be a heavy smoker, eagerly taking it, lighting it, and exuding smoke. He chuckled and said,
"Of course. I'm not just good at playing dice; my electrical skills are top-notch too. Back at the power plant, I was awarded the title of Technical Expert for three consecutive years. Most people can't compare to me. And compared to the work at the power plant, this little job is nothing."
"So you worked at a power plant?"
"Of course. I worked there for eight years, and I even became a team leader. Unfortunately, just as I was about to get promoted, I was framed. There was an accident, and I was fired. Otherwise, I wouldn't be working as an electrician in this building."
Wang San held the cigarette between his lips, his eyes deep. When he spoke seriously, he looked like a man with many stories.
"What a shame."
Chen Xuan smiled, then suddenly changed the subject and said, "Since you're so skilled, you must know how to discreetly cut off the power to the building without anyone finding out, right?"
"Naturally. There was this kid who annoyed me once, and I cut off the power to his equipment. He spent all night trying to figure it out. I only helped him after he treated me to a meal and apologized. Otherwise, I wouldn't have fixed it."
Wang San seemed to have opened up, speaking excitedly with a gleam in his eyes. "You don't know how many leaders were alerted, our team's technicians, the electrical department's technicians, specialists, and so on..."
At this point, Wang San seemed to sense something. He suddenly looked at Chen Xuan and saw Chen Xuan staring at him with a sinister grin. Instantly, his hair stood on end.
"What do you want?"
"Help me with a small favor, and I'll give you a hundred thousand when it's done," Chen Xuan said directly.
Wang San seemed to know what was coming and immediately shook his head. "No!"
Chen Xuan took a puff of his cigarette and smiled faintly. "You don't have the right to refuse me."
Wang San instantly deflated like a pricked balloon.
What Wang San said was true; he really didn't have the right to refuse. Chen Xuan held his secret, and if it were exposed, he would be finished.
Moreover, he really needed money. Next month, Wang San's father was scheduled for heart valve replacement surgery, which would cost no less than a hundred thousand. This hundred thousand would be a lifesaver, and he was very tempted.
"What exactly do you want me to do?" Wang San asked softly.
Chen Xuan glanced at Long Xiaocan beside him and said, "Wait for me outside for now."
It wasn't that Chen Xuan didn't trust Long Xiaocan, but there were some things that Long Xiaocan was better off not knowing.
As Su Yunxi's assistant, Long Xiaocan was naturally perceptive. She said she would wait for Chen Xuan outside the distribution room and turned to leave.
"It's very simple..."
Only after Long Xiaocan left the distribution room did Chen Xuan smile and reveal his plan.
But this smile, in Wang San's eyes, was like that of a devil.
"Hurry up and tell me."
"Yeah..."
So Chen Xuan told Wang San his plan.
Upon hearing Chen Xuan's plan, it seemed as if every word Chen Xuan uttered made Wang San's eyes widen.
After Chen Xuan finished speaking, Wang San's breathing became rapid, his eyes wide, and he stared intently at Chen Xuan. "You... you're trying to kill me! I can't do this. I don't want to die. I have old parents and young children, and I don't want to die so soon."
"Is that so?"
Chen Xuan said coldly, "You can refuse, but if you refuse, I'll kill you right now, and I'll take your whole family with you..."
"You..."
Wang San was speechless.
Indeed, this guy could come up with such a plan; he was a devil himself. Negotiating with such a devil was no different from playing with his life.
He gritted his teeth. "Alright, I agree, but we're clear, if anything happens, it has nothing to do with me."
If it's fated to happen, it can't be avoided.
"Don't worry, just do as I say, and I'll guarantee your safety," Chen Xuan said with a faint smile.
"I hope you're telling the truth," Wang San prayed silently.
"Let's get to work."
Then, Wang San tremblingly took out his tools from his electrical bag, cold sweat dripping from his forehead. He had worked on the top of the hundred-meter-high power plant chimney, but he had never felt as dangerous as he did now.
That job would at most cost him his life, but if he messed this up, his whole family's lives would be at stake!
An hour later, Chen Xuan looked at Wang San, who was sitting on the ground, drenched in sweat, and smiled slightly. "Wang San, you've done very well. You have a bright future."
After speaking, Chen Xuan turned and left.
Wang San sat on the ground, his face a mask of despair, beating the ground with his hands, full of helplessness. "Damn it, I'm on a pirate ship now... You bastard, may you die a terrible death..."
"Bah, bah, bah, I hope you live a long and healthy life. Only if you live a long and healthy life will I have a chance to survive."
Wang San's heart was in turmoil, and he sighed helplessly.
Exiting the distribution room, Chen Xuan saw Long Xiaocan waiting at the door.
"Mr. Chen, how did it go?"
Long Xiaocan hurried over, her chest heaving.
"Very well."
Chen Xuan glanced at Long Xiaocan's chest, then nodded slightly. "Our Vermilion Bird lineage has power now."
Then Chen Xuan and Long Xiaocan returned to Yun Duan Technology on the tenth floor.
"Chen Xuan, we have power!"
Su Yunxi saw Chen Xuan and hurried over, her eyes filled with curiosity.
"That's good."
"I'll notify the employees right away to continue working this afternoon."
Chen Xuan, however, stopped Su Yunxi from pulling out her phone.
"What is it? Is there something wrong?" Su Yunxi couldn't help but ask.
"Yunxi, it's better not to notify them. After all, we promised them a day off."
"That's true. Forget it, let's consider it a day off for them. They've been too busy lately, and they deserve a good rest."
"Also, there's something else I need to tell you."
"What is it?"
Chen Xuan lowered his voice and told Su Yunxi what had happened.
Upon hearing this, Su Yunxi's eyes widened instantly. "My goodness... you..."
A cold glint flashed in Chen Xuan's eyes. "This is Zhu Yaojun and Su Hongzhen asking for it!"
