Chapter 347 The Machines Are Damaged
Outside the casino, Chad guffawed with cash in his arms. "Manuel! We won 5 thousand dollars! 5
thousand dollars! The people in the casino let us go this time."
Chad found this experience incredible, but Manuel took it for granted.
They won money from the other gamblers and helped the banker do so. Therefore, the banker
didn't stop them from leaving.
With the cash in his hand, Chad sighed. "Manuel, do you know that the rich will become richer and richer? A batch of machines will arrive at our factory today. I heard that each machine cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. I don't know if it's true or not. In the eyes of the rich, 5 thousand
dollars is nothing."
Manuel said meaningfully, "The Easton Group is the only large factory in Ocala now."
Chad sneered. "In fact, the Easton Group is not the largest factory here."
Manuel raised his eyebrows. "I did an investigation about Ocala. I didn't replace a factory bigger than
the Easton Group."
Chad became alert all of a sudden. "Manuel, you helped me win so much money, so I trust you. To be honest, the largest factory in Ocala is the Wade Group, but it is abandoned."
Speaking, Chad looked proud as if that factory belonged to him.
Manuel asked with fake ***, "The Wade Group? I didn't hear of it. No way. The Easton Group
is large. If the Wade Group is bigger than the Easton Group, where is in
After a soft cough, Chad said, "It was abandoned a long time ago. If I weren't smart, I would have died there."
He looked in the distance as if to look at the Wade Group across time and space. Chad seemed to be talking to Manuel and muttering to himself.
"Do you mean the factory is dangerous?" Manuel asked.
Chad didn't answer this question. He looked at Manuel with confusion. "Manuel, why do you have so many questions today?"
There was vigilance in Chad's eyes. Before Manue) opened his mouth, Chad changed the topic. "Your share today."
Chad gave 1,600 dollars to Manuel. "Manuel, I need money for the time being. If we win next time, I will share half of the money with you for sure."
Ca Bures
Manuel did not care how much money Chad had left him. He was thinking about what Chad had just said.
He did not notice Chad's departure. Manuel found himself alone there when he came back to his
senses.
The next day, when Ainsley and Jason arrived at the factory, Robert ran over in a hurry. "Bad news, Ms. Easton. The machines are damaged." "What did you say?" Ainsley looked aghast. She exchanged one glance with Jason and saw the
same astonishment as hers in Jason's eyes.
The new machines arrived at the factory less than 24 hours ago, but they were damaged.
Robert looked at Ainsley and said bitterly, "I don't know who the culprit is! These machines are new
here, and only one night has passed."
"Lead the way please," Ainsley said coldly.
In the workshop, Ainsley saw the new machines. The technician had set up the machines but
hadn't debugged them yet. Now, the technician became idle because the machines were broken. Jason looked grim. It shocked him that someone had done such a terrible thing to stop people from returning to work.
Before Ainsley opened her mouth, Robert said, "Ms. Easton, I won't let the troublemaker off easily if I replace him!"
Jason said sarcastically, "I am afraid that the robber acts like a cop here."
"Jason, think twice before you speak! I am the head of this factory. I am more anxious than anyone when the factory ***down! How could you slander me? Ms. Easton, if you also suspect me, you may call the headquarters to fire me," Robert said sternly.
Ainsley soothed Robert. "Mr. Blake, what are you talking about? You are the head of this factory, so
I won't doubt your loyalty. However, this is a grave matter. The last batch of machines is old, so
their damage didn't cause a great loss. This case is different."
After a pause, Ainsley continued, "The headquarters ordered this batch of new machines from Germany half a year ago and received them two months ago. The new machines were sent here, and the other factories didn't have this honor. If the culprit is found, we should make him pay
compensation. Each machine cost about 320 thousand dollars, and there are three. Therefore, the
compensation will be 960 thousand dollars in total. Even if the culprit is found, I don't think he has so much money."
Ainsley spoke loudly, so everyone in the workshop heard her speech.
Chad almost slumped to the ground when he heard the compensation. He knew for sure that
Robert wouldn't help him if the cat was out of the bag.
Chad thought, 960 thousand dollars! I have never seen so much money in my life!
I won in the casino with Manuel yesterday, but only 5 thousand dollars! I don't have 960 thousand
dollars!
After one glance at the technician, Ainsley asked earnestly, "Look, can you repair these machines?" The technician looked at the machines a few times and then answered hesitantly, "I will try, but I can promise nothing."
"Okay. Go ahead please," Ainsley said.
The crowd dispersed. Chad walked into Robert's office.
Jason went to Ainsley's office. Ainsley asked, "Did the culprit appear in the surveillance video?"
Jason shook his head. "The surveillance cameras are broken."
"This clumsy trick again! I deliberately told the security guard to check all the surveillance cameras
in the factory yesterday. There are only a few hours between the check and the arrival of the machines," Ainsley said in a deep voice..
Jason said with a bitter smile, "They dared to damage the machines, let alone a few surveillance
cameras."
Something came to Ainsley, so she sprang to her feet. "I have an idea!"
"Ms. Easton, what is it?" Jason asked, puzzled.
"I know how to replace the culprit." Ainsley smiled.
"How?"
"I need your help," Ainsley said with a faint smile.
That afternoon, more than ten hours after the machines had been destroyed, the technician
brought the latest news.
Ainsley instantly held an emergency meeting.
"Everyone, the technician said after the examination that the situation of the machines wasn't that
bad and that he could repair them."
