Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

8:36 am

Li Ang moved a box of shucked corn vigorously, and trudged from the greenhouse to the truck. After he put down the things, he couldn't move anymore. He kept breathing, and the air in front of him seemed to be shaking. The heat made him Already on the verge of collapse.

This is Li Ang's first month in prison, but he still can't adapt to such heavy physical labor. Moving corn is considered a relatively easy job, at least much better than digging potatoes.

"Can I take a break for a few minutes?"

Li Ang looked at a person in Section 11 and asked. The other person nodded. Li Ang said thank you and sat down.

The sentence of 11 years and 3 months seemed a bit long. Li Ang was only over 12 years old, and he had calculated that he would be in his 20s when he was released from prison.

From time to time, Li Ang would think about whether what he did that night was inappropriate, but when he thought of his parents, he felt that it was nothing. They were full of happy memories in school. These things were things that Li Ang could recall to make him happy when he was bored. .

Because Li Ang was young, Section 11 arranged a single cell for him and gave him some study materials.

The people in Section 11 also said that as long as Li Ang behaves better, he can be transferred to the dormitory in Section 12. There are labor punishers there. Considering his age, his sentence can be reduced.

"Kid, why on earth did you do those things? I heard that you are a student of the Junjie School above."

Li Ang smiled and shook his head.

"for money."

Someone will always ask Li Ang this question, and Li Ang will always give the most practical answer. The clerk next to him sighed helplessly.

"Why don't you try to take a professional exam after you go out?"

Li Ang was a little surprised, and the clerk squatted over and continued.

"The Acting Section is relatively fair at the moment. Even if you have a criminal record, as long as you can pass the exam, you can become a member of the Acting Section."

Li Ang raised his head and laughed, but quickly shook his head.

"I actually hate you guys in black uniforms."

Li Ang no longer thought about the future, and the clerk next to him smiled.

"It's almost time. Go to work quickly, otherwise you may not have anything to eat today."

Li Ang got up and continued to run in. He quietly looked at a man with his only son, Hydra, who was breaking corn. He often saw something about him on some TV programs, as well as some of their thinking classes. There will be discussions about the Hydera case.

For a moment, Leon thought of Niya again, because Niya always made shocking remarks. She said that Hydera was basically innocent, but he was too weak to subdue those drunkards with his bare hands, which led to a series of incidents. Tragedy happens.

But what impressed Li Ang the most was that Niya once said that because many people labeled him, he became a criminal.

Li Ang also knew that this was probably Niya's deepest feeling, because she had already been labeled by people in the family circle.

Because Li Ang is a light offender and lives in a separate cell, he is on the same floor as Hydera. In just one month, Li Ang has gotten to know many prisoners on the same floor and will go to their cells when nothing happens. He went to play there, but Hydera was different. He stayed in his cell all day long and didn't talk to anyone. Everyone said that this guy's psychology had become very dark and he felt very scary. Li Ang felt the same way at first. , looking at Hydera at such a close distance always makes me shudder.

"Hydra, you should be able to get into business directly after you get out, right?"

Hydra smiled and nodded, but this smile made Li Ang a little uncomfortable. Hydra stood up and walked slowly to Li Ang's side.

"Kid, you shouldn't be a criminal, but why are you here?"

Li Ang was a little panicked, and Hydra pressed a finger on Li Ang's forehead.

"Your eyes tell me that you are not guilty. You are different from everyone else here. Did you help others bear some crime?"

Li Ang smiled, turned around and continued to work, while Hydera next to him was still looking at him.

"Which department are you going to?"

Li Ang asked, because he had heard that it was rumored in the prison that once Hydera was released from prison, he would be able to become a level 3 business officer, and a bright future was waiting for him.

Hydera has been in jail for more than 13 years and will be released in more than 16 years. The city should be better off by then.

At this time, Hydera smiled and continued to break the corn. After looking at Li Ang again, he stopped talking.

His father came to see him a while ago, and Li Ang directly told his father that there was nothing wrong with him, so that they did not have to worry. His father also said that the problem of the winery has been properly dealt with, and everything is normal in the winery now, and he will run the winery well. After Li Ang goes out, he will at least have some support.

Li Ang doesn't plan to think about what he will do after going out in the short term. He just wants to adapt to everything here quickly and exercise well.

9:37 am

As time passed, someone photographed a large number of Section 10 lifts falling down in some places in the factory area. It seemed that there was something wrong with the entire line of the factory.

Anxiety and uneasiness are written on the faces of most people. Many people have been completely blocked in some areas near the factory area. Everyone can only continue to endure and wait. Locke will give a speech every hour, saying Please don't worry, the factory will definitely be able to start working today.

At this time, some comments appeared on the Internet. Today is April Fools' Day. The reason why I chose today is because of April Fools' Day. If we can start work, there will be no need to conduct so many tests. There must be something wrong. Congress is still delaying. .

A large number of media reporters had already been stationed in the area near the factory area a few days ago.

This construction, which is related to the fate of the whole city, has made the city miserable. Now I am afraid that just a slight sound is enough to stimulate the nerves of most people in the city, and everyone is about to lose their patience.

A large number of demonstrators have appeared near some business facilities. They shouted and asked Congress to reveal the truth about what is causing the factories to not be able to start operations now.

The voices became louder and louder, and the voices of dissatisfaction became stronger and stronger in various parts of the city, especially in the eastern and western districts.

10:09 am

boom

Accompanied by a violent breaking of the door, a man who was sitting in front of a light and shadow screen and constantly posting some online information stood up in horror. He raised his hands, but was quickly pushed to the ground and handcuffed. hands.

"Sir, I'm arresting you now for publishing inflammatory and false statements!"

The man looked at the people from Section 2 in horror, and he immediately started to defend himself, but soon the people from Section 2 began to search and collect evidence, and the man was taken directly to a room and interrogated.

However, at this time, someone in a restaurant on the middle floor had already discovered that some comments on the Internet were directly deleted. When many people posted comments, they found that they could not be posted at all. According to the system prompts, there was a problem with the network.

“Congress is starting to muzzle speech.”

Someone shouted, and someone immediately echoed.

"There must be some big problem that prevents the factory from resuming operations as scheduled."

For a moment, there were chaotic sounds everywhere, and many people seemed a little angry, because everyone has not had any work for a whole year. Some people who still have savings can only watch their money getting less and less day by day, except for food. There is nothing to do except sleep and watch TV.

People kept talking in the streets and alleys. Just after 11 o'clock, Locke issued another notice to delay the start of construction. It might take until 2 noon because there was a little trouble in the power test, but it would be solved soon.

Looks of distrust filled most areas of the city.

At this time, Noah led a bunch of people and stood in a passage. This was a manual maintenance passage reserved for repairing some areas. The problem of the two pipelines had been solved because there were errors during the installation. This led to problems in the overall operation.

"It looks like the section chief is in trouble now."

Li Guoguo was carrying a bunch of mechanical equipment and followed Noah. The two of them walked along and soon came to the next place where the problem occurred. Noah started to use the equipment to check.

"Trouble is trouble, but there is nothing we can do about it. After all, the Hillman family suddenly withdrew their capital and removed most of their technical staff, but you can't accuse them of being dishonest. Their family also suffered from this construction. The project has shrunk a lot."

Li Guoguo curled her lips and shook her head helplessly.

"It might be better to use robots from the beginning."

Noah smiled.

"There are very few jobs that robots can do. Although it can indeed improve efficiency, the cost is too high. If it is damaged, the loss will be too serious. Guoguo, now is not the time, act quickly! We must Solve all problems before the sun goes out."

12:23

Dissatisfaction finally began to erupt on a large scale. The streets were full of demonstrators. Sections 3 and 5 had set up cordons in most places and kept shouting to persuade most people.

Everyone's slogans began to change. They didn't want to celebrate April Fool's Day today.

In the hall of Congress, a burst of baby laughter sounded. Wang Ying was holding Michelle and teasing her.

Everyone else is there, and the six gods are also here. Today they are here to submit the specific details of relevant matters to the congressmen.

"Michelle, it's time for you to go to sleep. Come quickly to mom."

As Freya said, Wang Ying put down Michelle. Although Michelle looked a little reluctant, she still stumbled over.

"Do you plan to bring this child here in the future?"

Cyan God asked, Freya smiled and nodded.

"I won't let this child come in. I'll let her wait for me outside. She just needs to watch all this quietly."

The red god laughed.

"It's really ironic that you set the official date of establishment as April 1."

Wu Qun smiled and nodded.

"After all, hasn't this always been the case for members of parliament from the past to the present? They are sharply satirical and always playing with power. I think it's very appropriate for a day like this."

There are frequent situations in the city now. There is nothing we can do about it. We can only try to appease the people's emotions. Before the 8 people came, they had already explained everything to the people under them in advance. The 8 people are now taking root. There were no issues in the area.

"It's getting late, you can go to the General Affairs Section for dinner. We will specifically mark out the problems with the things you submitted, and they will be returned directly to you through the Congress system. You can then specify Just discuss the details."

The Purple God said, Freya carried her daughter on her back, and the other seven people also stood up. After everyone bowed, they turned and left.

In the empty Congress hall, six guys laughed.

"This place should look pretty good in the future."

As Li Chu said, Tang Rao stared at him.

"I will have to endure these irritating sounds every month from now on. I would like to stay clean for a few years."

Deguna said immediately.

"You are on duty for the first quarter. Do your best. Angel Paradise still needs some construction work. If you are fine in a few days, come over and help me."

The other five guys looked at Deguna, and Gu Yi laughed.

"Right now, the guy named Gene has been handling it. How about we help him, especially during this period when the factory is in operation?"

Rose soon shook her head.

"Help? How to help? Forget it, what he does is his business. Let's take advantage of this time and have a good rest as soon as possible."

Nowadays, the gods have handed over all the work to the city managers and have not intervened in anything. Only Jean is officially handling the documents that need to be stored in the general affairs department, and he is very busy every day. .

"By the way, that girl from the Angus family, didn't she go a little too far?"

Tang Rao said, and the other five guys nodded.

"Would you like to remind her?"

Gu Yi said, and soon Deguna started laughing.

"That's not what we should do. She was taught by Gene. This is Gene's responsibility. No matter what she does in the future or what problems arise, it has nothing to do with us."

Everyone is looking at another big incident that has broken out in the city and made the whole city boil.

In the family planting area in the northeast, a large number of reporters have already poured in. Starting with the Sumer family, relatives of the Angus family, all nearby family plantations have been investigated, one after another of blood and sweat squeezing incidents. was exposed.

Many workers who work on family plantations go without wages for as long as 10 years or as short as a few months. Some are even collared and forced to work day and night while being supervised. , are not allowed to leave, and the monthly salary is pitifully low, because most people have worked for 10 years without even receiving a salary.

Many people already had physical problems to varying degrees, and even had psychological problems to varying degrees when they were rescued.

The lives of many workers have been threatened to varying degrees, and a large number of families have been involved in the case. Everything started as soon as Alpha investigated. She personally led people to rush over at 10 o'clock this morning. Now she has been arrested. More than 2,000 people attended.

The most shocking thing is that even members of his own family were involved in such an incident of blood and sweat.

"There will definitely be problems with the tobacco supply in the city now."

As Witte said, Li Chu burst out laughing.

"That guy Gene probably can't even buy cigarettes."

"Can you guys be more serious?"

Tang Rao pressed his forehead.

It is another place that has been almost marginalized. The problem has been exposed because the family has immunity. Although I don’t know who started it, everyone has begun to follow suit. Even the cheapest worker costs 500 yuan a month. , many family plantations usually have four to five hundred workers.

After calculation, if a medium-sized family has 500 workers, it will cost 250,000 yuan a month. Including food supply, the monthly expenditure will be at least 300,000 yuan, which is 3.6 million yuan in 12 months a year. Therefore, most families rely on With deceptive contracts, they tricked most of the desperate workers into working in the family plantations. Finally, they used contract provisions, personal threats, and even beatings to make them submit, and finally made the workers obedient in the plantations. Work.

"I will never allow this kind of behavior to continue to exist. No matter who it is, as long as anyone is involved in this case, I will catch him out without leaving any trace."

During a brief interview, the six guys looked at the scene helplessly.

"No matter what, the attention of many people has been temporarily diverted."

Li Chu said, and Deguna laughed.

"King Xue is really smart. Most of the reports now focus on the issue of the family's planting land in the northeast."

12:51

Alpha quietly walked into the first floor of a mansion, which was usually used to hold banquets and was surrounded by the Alpha family's planting land.

Everyone in the room looked livid, and they were all members of the Angus family.

"Miss"

An old man with a solemn face ran over. Alpha looked back at the Section 5 personnel behind him and closed the door.

"Why do you do this?"

Alpha knows everyone in the room. Many of them have known each other since they were children. They are the directors of the Angus family farm. Alpha has also been here with his parents and has an impression that this place was very good in the past. It’s just that Alpha doesn’t know when it started.

No one in the room answered. Alpha took out a cigarette, looked at the cigarette in his hand, put it in his mouth, lit it and blew out a puff of smoke.

"Did it start with a full switch to tobacco sales!"

There are more than 800 workers in the Angus family's plantation, many of whom were purchased from other families. Most of them are illegal and do not have any identification documents at all. Many of them are not even literate. I don’t know where they came from. They were sleeping in a cold underground hall like animals.

boom

Alpha's hand hit the door frame next to him, and cracks appeared in the door frame instantly.

"I'm asking you, when did you start?"

What angered Alpha the most were some of the children. According to some people who had worked here for seven or eight years, some were even abandoned by their parents and came here from the orphanage when they were young.

"Who will answer me?"

"Miss, the master and madam don't know about it, we"

Alpha walked over slowly and directly pulled a young man into the air.

"I don't know? Do you think I'm a fool?"

Alpha raised his head slightly, turned around, and kicked the door open.

"Arrest everyone here and conduct criminal investigation directly!"

In an instant, many council officers outside ran over, and Jill walked in directly, grabbed the emotional Alpha, and pulled her aside.

"What do you want to do? You should know the situation of your family now."

Alpha pushed Jill away, and a bunch of female council officers ran over.

"President, you can't do this. We will handle these matters, as long as..."

"Deal it? How to deal with it?"

Gil's face was ashen, he knew that this matter had become a foregone conclusion the moment Alpha knew about it.

"Do it, can't you hear me?"

Alpha roared angrily, and everyone was stunned for a moment. Many members of Section 5 had tangled faces at this time. No one moved because everyone felt that there was no need to do so.

"If you don't take action, I will do it myself. All of you will be punished starting tomorrow for disobeying your superiors' orders."

Snapped

Gil slapped Alpha's cheek with both hands.

"We will take action, but I'm afraid the Angus family will encounter a bigger disturbance later. Have you thought carefully about the consequences? Alpha, this is your home, and the people in the house are your family. The entire family's plantation , this is the atmosphere, do you remember what the principal told us before? Justice has a price."

Alpha turned around and took out his phone.

"action!"

Gil pressed the brim of his hat and led the people into the mansion.

"What on earth have you been doing all these years!"

Alpha seemed calm and the mother on the phone didn't say anything.

"Things are not as good as you think, but they are not as bad as you think. Alpha, we may have some feelings about the plantation, but..."

"Please come to Section 5 headquarters and assist in the investigation!"

Alpha hung up the phone and squatted on the ground. There were noises in the mansion, a helicopter was approaching, and a large number of reporters were reporting on the incident.

Only a small number of families did not participate, but they kept silent about the matters on the plantation. The reselling of slaves on the plantation was very common, and even the children born by many slaves would become slaves.

The cruel and bloody truth was before Alpha's eyes. She didn't know what to do. The moment she made up her mind, she knew exactly what the result would be. Until now, no god had called her, including Ji. kindness.

Only Locke kept calling, but Alpha didn't answer.

At this time, a helicopter came over quickly. As soon as Alpha raised his head, he saw that Zijuan had brought a large number of Section 3 personnel over and blocked all the roads outside the Angus family plantation. , no reporters were allowed to film.

The lift slowly landed in front of the mansion, and Locke ran out with an eager look. The moment he saw Alpha, he looked at the handcuffed people in the mansion, and the people standing beside him. Slaves receiving 4 treatments.

"Are you satisfied?"

Locke sighed helplessly and sat next to Alpha.

"What satisfaction!"

Locke sighed.

"This incident should have a great impact, because many people have never thought that something like this would happen in this family's plantation, on the edge of the northeastern part of the city, and people here are concerned about everything here. Keep silent."

Alpha sat weakly on the ground, her hands trembling slightly. Locke hugged her and patted her comfortingly.

"What you did is right. I don't want to accuse or stop your Alpha. I just want to tell you as an elder that there are many places in the city that cannot shine. If they are uprooted, those The darkness deposited below will escape in one breath."

Alpha snorted, and she started crying at this time. It was the first time she felt so uncomfortable, because her family could be involved in such a thing, and Alpha couldn't accept it in her heart.

"Can you leave some follow-up matters to me?"

Alpha covered her cheek with one hand, the cigarette in her mouth was shaking, and she nodded slightly.

Locke sighed, stood up, stood in front of Alpha, and quietly watched the members of Section 5 coming in and out.

1:11 p.m.

Niya looked at her parents with some confusion. They were explaining something to the family. Their expressions looked full of bitterness and helplessness, and their eyes showed sadness.

"Mom, did something happen?"

Violet smiled and approached Nia and hugged her quietly.

"It's okay Niya, you have to be more obedient at home and remember to finish your homework. Your dad and I may not be back for a while."

No matter how Niya asked about the reason, her parents didn't tell her anything, but Niya was not a fool, because she could already see a large number of business helicopters landing on the lawns of other families.

At this time, a helicopter from Section 1 landed, and Duan Kong and secretary Julia came out. As soon as they came over, they bowed to Mr. and Mrs. Angus.

"What happened?"

Duan Kong looked solemnly at Niya who was following behind him. At this time, outside the family, on the lawn, Freya ran over quickly.

"What are you going to do!"

Julia walked over and put her head in Freya's ear. After saying something, Freya's expression became serious.

"I have to tell Alpha if I do this."

"What's wrong with my sister?"

Niya ran over, and she became emotional for a moment.

"What's wrong with my sister?"

With a roar, Violet sighed.

"Because we are involved in a crime, we now need to go to the headquarters of Section 5 to assist in the investigation!"

Niya's eyes widened and she started crying instantly.

"My sister. Why did my sister want to arrest you? Why!"
