Chapter 4029: Chapter 4017: Roadblock

"What a coincidence?"

Lin Yi muttered and looked at Yue Sijing, "There are security guards at the gate. Go ask them if Wu Guangwei has really left."

"Got it."

Yue Sijing got out of the car and walked toward the security office at the gate.

"Brother, I want to ask, which office is Factory Manager Wu in? I have something to discuss with him."

The two security guards were playing a game. When they looked up and saw a beautiful woman standing in front of them, they immediately put down their phones.

"Factory Manager Wu’s office is in Room 302."

"Did he come to work today?"

"Yes, I saw him this morning."

"Okay, thank you."

After inquiring about Wu Guangwei’s situation, Yue Sijing returned to the car.

"I’ve found out, he’s in his office, in Room 302."

Lin Yi nodded, holding the receipt, and said to Liu Zhan:

"Just wait here."

"Okay."

The group got out of the car and headed toward the factory gate.

Seeing this, the security from the security office came out, "What are you here for?"

"We’re reporters from Zhonghai TV station, here to interview Factory Manager Wu."

Upon hearing they were reporters, the security guards lowered their guard, opened the gate, and allowed them to pass through.

Soon, the group arrived at Room 302.

Standing at the door, they could hear cursing and swearing inside, it seemed like they were playing cards.

Knock knock knock—

Feng Xinrui knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Opening the door, it was smoky inside.

The office was filled with smoke, with three people playing a card game.

Two of them were very young, and the other, in his forties, wearing a jacket, had a cigarette in hand, and there was quite a bit of money on the table, indicating he had a good streak.

Seeing people coming in, the three stopped and kept observing the group.

"Where are you from?"

The speaker was a middle-aged man in a jacket, whom Lin Yi guessed might be Wu Guangwei.

"We’re reporters from Zhonghai TV station, here to interview Factory Manager Wu Guangwei."

"Hmm? Why interview me?"

Wu Guangwei didn’t take these people seriously; after all, his was just a small factory and it seemed unlikely anyone would want to interview him.

"Well, it’s about the unpaid money to the breeders. We’d like to interview you about this issue."

Realizing their intent, Wu Guangwei’s face immediately changed.

The other two also looked defensive.

"Our factory is currently facing difficulties and truly can’t come up with so much money."

Wu Guangwei pointed at Hou Zhitao, "I’m telling you, stop filming. Get out."

Hou Zhitao stepped back but didn’t stop filming.

"Can’t you understand human language? I said no filming! Don’t you know?"

"Factory Manager Wu, calm down, there’s no need for this."

Lin Yi stepped forward to stop Wu Guangwei, "We didn’t come here with any other intentions. After all the money has been owed for so long, even if the business isn’t doing well, it should still be paid back, right?"

As he spoke, Lin Yi glanced at the gambling money on the table, "And judging from your state, it doesn’t seem like you’re short on money, you all look quite happy."

"Stop talking nonsense, I told you to stop filming, don’t you understand?"

"That really won’t do. We’re here for an interview and we have to report the situation truthfully."

"Get them out of here!" Wu Guangwei looked at his two employees and said.

The two immediately stepped forward, trying to push Lin Yi out.

"Stop!"

Lin Yi raised his voice, "We’re all civilized people, I advise you to stay calm, there’s no need to make things unpleasant."

"Civilized, my ass, just get out! Don’t get in the way here. If you don’t leave, we’ll smash your camera."

"You’re fucking outrageous."

Lin Yi grabbed one of them by the hair and smashed his head into the nearby card table.

Ah—

The card table was overturned; the man’s face was bloodied, clutching his head, he rolled on the ground.

Wu Guangwei and the other man stood there, stunned. No one expected the journalist to hit someone.

"You’d better cooperate with the interview and solve the issue, don’t make things difficult for yourself."

After saying that, Lin Yi looked at Hou Zhitao, indicating not to get the man on the ground in the frame.

"Continue the interview."

Not only was Wu Guangwei frightened, but Lin Yi’s people were also taken aback.

It was their first experience with such a violent interview.

"You, you guys calm down, don’t use force. Let’s talk it out."

Lin Yi looked at Wu Guangwei, "Ain’t that just like you? You feel better after getting hit?"

Wu Guangwei, with a bitter face, didn’t know what to say.

Lin Yi signaled to Feng Xinrui, "Continue."

Feng Xinrui adjusted her emotions and pointed the microphone at Wu Guangwei.

"Factory Manager Wu, regarding the unpaid funds to the breeders, when can we expect a statement? After all, it’s been dragging on for so long."

Wu Guangwei’s legs were trembling and he was sweating profusely.

"We’ll repay the money as soon as possible, please give us some time."

"How long would that be, considering it’s been owed for over a year now? Prolonging further isn’t a solution."

"This..."

Wu Guangwei was speechless, not knowing what to say.

"I can’t say for sure on this right now. We need to check with accounting on the specific accounts, but rest assured, we’ll repay the money as soon as possible."

"But such perfunctory responses won’t suffice. We’re here to resolve issues. If this gets exposed, it won’t be good for your factory. I hope you can cooperate, as this is also meaningful to you."

"Alright, give me three days and I’ll definitely have the money repaid."

Upon hearing this response, Feng Xinrui looked at Lin Yi; it was up to him to make the final decision.

Lin Yi nodded. It’s necessary to allow some time, as forcing them to procure money now would be unrealistic.

Given the situation, they likely owe more than just Liu Zhan, requiring extensive account checks. Even if pushed to the brink, they couldn’t produce the money now.

"We’ll come back in three days. I hope Factory Manager Wu can actively cooperate to perfectly resolve this issue."

"Okay, okay, I’ll definitely cooperate actively."

The interview ended, and the group left.

"Director, they owe Liu Zhan 80,000 yuan, and the factory isn’t small-scale. Paying 80,000 yuan shouldn’t be a major issue; why not have them pay up?" Hou Zhitao asked softly.

"Think bigger, we’re here to resolve issues, not to help Yang Wantong collect debts," Lin Yi said:

"If it were just about debt collection, I could come alone without needing you. We’re journalists; we must help the public solve problems, understand?"

"Understood, but will there be an issue since you hit someone just now?"

"Even if there is an issue, what can they do? Catching me isn’t easy."

Just then, a shout came!

"Lock the door, don’t let them out!"
