Chapter 325 - 209: Even Better Than the Experts? My Son Relies on Listening!
Gu Yanshen lowered his head.
"Hug." Gu An said succinctly.
Gu Yanshen bent over and scooped up his son.
Gu An pointed to the remnants of the machine that had exploded.
"Over there."
Although Gu Yanshen didn’t know what his son wanted to do, he trusted the little guy.
He stepped over the caution tape with large strides, holding Gu An as they stood in front of that pile of twisted scrap metal.
Director Wang laughed.
He wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, as if he had heard the biggest joke of his life.
"Lin Wan Yi, Mr. Gu, what are you doing?"
"Bringing out a little kid to take the fall?"
"Letting a toddler in open-crotch pants do a technical assessment?"
"It’s utterly ridiculous!"
The surrounding technicians looked at each other, feeling that this was too absurd.
The German experts shrugged their shoulders and said in broken Chinese, "This is not scientific, this is nonsense."
Lin Wan Yi ignored the noise.
She just quietly watched her son.
"An An, do what you want to do."
Gu An completely ignored what others were saying.
In his eyes, these noisy adults were all fools.
He reached out his chubby little hand, grasping a rasp, aiming at the broken valve interface.
"Screech—"
A piercing grinding sound arose.
Gu An scraped once with force.
Everyone frowned.
Director Wang was just about to start scolding.
But Gu An stopped.
He tilted his little head, as if savoring the sound he just heard.
A few seconds later.
He pointed to the machine next to it, which was still intact and operating normally.
"That one."
Gu Yanshen, without a word, carried his son over there.
Gu An raised the rasp once again.
"Screech—"
The same sound again.
But anyone who wasn’t deaf could hear the difference.
The first time, the sound was dull, like a blunt knife slicing meat.
The second time, the sound was crisp, like jade striking against jade.
Gu An put away the rasp.
He threw the tool back to the dumbfounded Professor Wang.
Then pointed at the exploded machine, disdaining it with one word:
"Soft."
The entire place fell silent.
Soft?
That was the so-called hardest, imported high-strength special steel!
How could it be soft?
Professor Liu, who hadn’t uttered a word, suddenly rushed forward.
He’d thought the sound was off earlier!
The old man didn’t even care about the oil stains on the ground and directly lay down by the broken piece.
He took a magnifying glass from his pocket, staring intently at the spot Gu An had scraped.
One second.
Two seconds.
Professor Liu’s hands started to tremble.
That was from anger!
He suddenly stood up, slamming the magnifying glass fiercely at Director Wang’s feet!
"Wang Defa! Damn you!"
Professor Liu’s beard trembled.
"An An is right! This is not some German special steel at all!"
"This is low-quality civilian steel with extremely high carbon content!"
"This steel isn’t hard enough at all, and its heat resistance is terrible!"
"As soon as the machine runs at high speed and the temperature rises, the steel softens and can’t withstand the pressure!"
"That’s why it exploded! This is shoddy work!"
This exclamation turned the world upside down.
The workers exploded.
"What? Low-quality steel?"
"Didn’t Director Wang say it was expensive imported goods?"
"I knew something was off with this machine these past few days!"
"Wang Defa! You’re endangering lives for profit!"
Several hot-tempered workers picked up wrenches, ready to charge.
The colleague who almost got blown up was their brother for years!
Director Wang’s face turned as white as a sheet of paper.
He never expected a two-year-old kid to actually understand!
And with one rasp, he exposed his lie!
"Nonsense! This is slander!"
Director Wang backed off while signaling to a few confidants in the crowd.
Those were the security department people, typically working hand in hand with him.
"Protect the director! Someone is causing trouble!"
The head of the security department shouted.
Seven or eight big men rushed out, causing instant chaos.
"Quick! To the warehouse! There’s more evidence there, don’t let them destroy it!"
Director Wang shouted amidst the chaos, wanting his people to destroy the stockpile.
As long as they handled those remaining "imported parts," there would be no evidence!
However.
Just as he backed up two steps, he crashed into a wall of flesh.
Director Wang turned around.
Gu Yanshen stood behind him, looking down at him.
The gaze was as if looking at a dead man.
"Where do you think you’re going?"
Gu Yanshen’s voice wasn’t loud, but it carried a chilling tone.
"You... what do you want to do? I’m the director! I call the shots here!"
Director Wang shouted, fierce in appearance but weak in reality.
Gu Yanshen didn’t waste words on him.
He raised his hand and whistled.
"Whist—"
The next second.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The iron gate over by the warehouse was kicked open from the outside.
A squad of fully armed reconnaissance soldiers charged in as if descending from the heavens.
The security department guys sent by Director Wang hadn’t even reached the warehouse door handle before they were pinned to the ground.
This was absolute power suppression.
Director Wang’s legs went limp, and he collapsed directly to the ground.
It was over.
All over.
Lin Wan Yi wasn’t idle at this time either.
While everyone was focused on the conflict over there, she walked over to the cooling water tank.
The steel pipe that had ruptured was full of rust and grease.
Even though Professor Liu had declared it inferior steel, the stamp was blurred, and if Director Wang insisted on stalling, he could still buy time.
Under the cover of her sleeve, Lin Wan Yi flicked her fingertip.
A drop of spiritual spring water landed on the steel pipe.
A miraculous scene occurred.
The thick rust and grease seemed to meet their nemesis, quickly dissolving and falling off.
In less than half a minute.
The pipe’s original surface was revealed.
Lin Wan Yi pointed to a line of clear letters on it, speaking loudly:
"Everyone, look here!"
All eyes turned towards her.
On that steel pipe, it wasn’t any German manufacturer’s mark.
But a domestic manufacturer code that everyone was extremely familiar with: HD-45.
"Red Capital Steel Factory!"
Professor Liu recognized it at once.
"This is a civilian water pipe made by our neighboring city’s Red Capital Steel Factory!"
"Using steel meant for water pipes to make precision instruments!"
"Wang Defa! You’ve got some nerve!"
The evidence was irrefutable!
This time, Director Wang couldn’t find any excuse.
He collapsed to the ground like a pile of mush, still muttering incoherently:
"Impossible... how could it come off so cleanly..."
Meanwhile, the soldiers over there made a new discovery.
"Commander! The warehouse has been thoroughly searched!"
The leading soldier shouted.
"Bring the stuff out!"
Gu Yanshen ordered coldly.
The soldiers came out two by two, carrying heavy wooden crates.
Each of these crates bore the logo of that German company, appearing extremely legitimate.
"Open them!"
"Crack!"
A crowbar pried open the lid of the crate.
Everyone present, including the German expert, craned their necks.
Everyone wanted to see what these supposedly priceless imported precision parts looked like.
The lid was lifted.
There weren’t any metal parts gleaming with cold light.
Nor were there any precise instruments.
There wasn’t even scrap metal.
Inside the crate, neatly stacked.
Were red bricks, one after another.
