Strange Cards

Chapter 115 I'm Quitting

The electricians, their eyes filled with disgust, stopped what they were doing and began packing up their toolboxes.

"Comrades, what are you doing?"

As a criminal police captain with so many years of experience, Li Haiwei naturally understood what they wanted to do, so he quickly stepped forward to stop them.

"This job is impossible!!!"

"I quit!"

"We're here to save people! We won't save this beast!!!"

As they spoke, the men packed their belongings and headed out the door, and Li Haiwei couldn't stop them even if he wanted to.

After all, those men's bulging muscles were no joke, and at that moment, a junior leader from the power supply bureau jumped out and stopped the crowd.

"What are you doing? Get back here, all of you!!!"

"You've forgotten the bureau chief's instructions, haven't you?! You've forgotten your mission, haven't you?!"

"Your mission is to cooperate fully with the police in rescuing the hostages!!!"

The men glared angrily at the junior leader after hearing this.

"What the hell are you spouting? Don't you have a wife?"

"Are you missing a screw in your cerebellum? You're over 4000 points, how could you do something so shameful? Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"

As the men spoke, their tone grew angry again, and they suddenly rolled up their sleeves, revealing their terrifying arms.

Then one of the older electricians, who seemed to be the leader, stepped forward and waved his hand.

"We can't do this, please leave."

"Even if the power company fires us, it doesn't matter. All of you brothers here have at least one advanced electrician's manual. I don't believe we can't find a job with this skill."

"My granddaughter is married and pregnant. If she encounters this beast on her way to the hospital in an ambulance, resulting in the death of both her and her unborn child, my son and daughter-in-law will hate me for the rest of their lives, and I will feel ashamed of myself."

"I am still a human being, I cannot save a beast that harms people."

As he spoke, the electrician shoved the junior manager aside with his shoulder and left with his men.

The junior leader looked extremely embarrassed. To be honest, he didn't want to save this kind of scum, but he couldn't withstand the pressure from his superiors.

Meanwhile, someone spammed "Carnival" ten times in the live stream chat, and then a large, golden font filled the entire screen.

"If any of you are fired, you can come work as electricians at our company. I am the chairman of Sanshui Group. I can guarantee that your salary will be more than double what you earn at the power supply bureau, and the company will cover all social security and other benefits."

Immediately after this comment, other comments followed.

"The boss is so generous!!!"

"I was one of the electricians there!!!"

"I could hear you plotting this all over the Pacific Ocean."

...........

Li Haiwei was getting anxious as the electricians left, so he instructed his men.

"Go and see if there are any other electricians willing to help. Don't tell anyone about this hostage."

Although Li Haiwei said this, he had actually given up hope, after all, this was a world that had been networked with information.

Li Haiwei is even certain that at least one-third of the people in the country are paying attention to this matter, and the probability of finding that electrician is lower than the probability of your wife's unborn child being of Asian descent.

But in the end, everyone actually found an old electrician. This old electrician was the former head of the power supply bureau, but because he didn't like using mobile phones or other information products after retirement, he didn't know anything about this.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Rui."

Li Haiwei naturally recognized the old man, who simply nodded and began putting on his protective gear.

After putting on the equipment, the old man was immediately stumped by the sight of the wires, but after only a moment's hesitation, he began to search for them.

Although Mr. Rui was a very capable electrician, he still had to put in a lot of effort to deal with the wires.

Li Haiwei's team even brought an extra-large hydraulic pliers just to remove the wires.

Meanwhile, the live stream chat began to bombard Li Haiwei and his team with attacks, and the team's morale suddenly plummeted upon seeing this.

"Are we really doing the right thing?"

"Don't overthink it, just focus on doing your job well."

After giving his team a little encouragement, Li Haiwei continued with his work. Looking at all those lines, he tentatively asked a question.

"Mr. Rui... will this work?"

While working, Rui Lao, annoyed to no end, suddenly slammed down the tools in his hand.

"Damn it, how am I supposed to know which wire is which with so many threads? I'm not a kidnapper!!!"

"Are you trying to kill me by making me handle all these tasks by myself? I told you I needed help when I came here!!!"

"They didn't even provide me with a helper. To put it bluntly, if all these wires were cut in half, the conductive alloy inside would be stuck to this little girl's skin. Even if we found the wire, it would be useless. So stop rushing me here!!!"

But Mr. Rui, being a seasoned electrician, quickly found the crucial wire.

After he used hydraulic pliers to cut the wire, he wiped the sweat from his brow.

"Alright, the little girl is safe now."

Li Haiwei quickly helped Rui remove the electrical wires from Zhang Yushu's body, but when he tried to help Zhang Yushu up, he couldn't.

"What happened?"

When Li Haiwei ran to the back and saw what was happening, he was so frightened that he took two steps back.

Zhang Yushu's arm and part of her thigh had somehow become one with the iron chair.

It wasn't worn onto the iron chair, but rather welded directly onto it.

Zhang Yushu herself was completely unaware of this. Li Haiwei was horrified by the scene, and at that moment, a strange roar suddenly came from under Zhang Yushu's iron chair.

"Whoosh!!!!!"

Li Haiwei immediately realized something was wrong and tackled Old Rui to the ground.

A terrifying bolt of lightning struck from beneath the iron chair, electrifying Zhang Yushu's hair.

But the lightning was all bark and no bite; the voltage was clearly carefully controlled, stopping after shocking Zhang Yushu for only three seconds.

Zhang Yushu lost control of her bladder and bowels due to the electric shock, and the unpleasant smell quickly filled the entire room.

Li Haiwei and Rui Lao were puzzled, so the two of them began to check the wires.

What angered Li Haiwei was that none of the wires were actually connected to the building's electricity. The apparent liveness was created by deliberately slashing open some wires on the iron chair. The conductive metal from these slashes was attached to the chair, allowing a slight current to pass through and creating the illusion that the wires were live. These wires were purely a ploy to fool the police.
