Chapter 1176 - 1173: Hey, Blondie, Don't Even Think About It!

"Even the Grandmaster Fox was called, not forgetting that I, Ansheng, flew all the way from Xia Dong....."

The figure of a little fox stood up, gradually walking out from the mist, looking delighted, holding a phone in its hand with location sharing enabled.

Ansheng arrived in front of Tang You, the location sharing icon on the phone perfectly overlapped.

"Hiss....."

Seeing the little fox appear, Tang You did not show a look of surviving a disaster, but instead took a sharp breath.

The vigilance on her cheeks intensified as she grabbed Doggy's neck and took a step back, taking out her phone from her arms to check the location sharing on WeChat.

After confirming certain things, Tang You looked at Master Fuli with a face full of disbelief and said:

"You..... little fox, how did you come here? Weren't you in Xia Dong?"

Just five minutes ago, the little fox was still in Xia Dong, and now it appeared in Northern, crossing 2,400 kilometers.

Even riding a rocket wouldn't be this miraculous.

"Just kidding!"

"You are my, Ansheng's, gaming buddy; how could I not care if you're bullied by outsiders? Tonight, we still have to play the top-secret space launch with no cover."

Ansheng proudly lifted her head, looking at Tang You, who sat on the ground with a relieved mind:

"I, Ansheng, am a mighty dragon, master at jet spinning 360 degrees; go, get me some red skin."

"Top up! I'll immediately top you up!" Tang You, with a face full of mixed emotions, looked at the little fox and said.

However, while speaking, she subconsciously gazed over the entire metal refinery.

Just now, under a roof, Tang You didn't observe too closely, but now coming outdoors, she truly felt how terrifying the changes in the factory were.

The pipelines originally set up in the open high sky for discharging wastewater and high-temperature steam have come to life; they are like giant steel serpents.

The steel serpents freely traverse the factory area, opening their blood-thirsty mouths, spraying metallic threads to catch people.

Whether workers or assailants, all were indiscriminately captured by the steel serpents and sent to the white High Tower, hung on things resembling willow branches.

In the field of vision, all objects turned into living things at this moment.

The completely subverted worldview scenery was vividly reflected in Tang You's eyes.

"So..... what happened here?" Ansheng, a bit curious, moved forward, looking towards Tang You's backside.

Tang You had injected the Spirit Particle Potion, but the Fox Spirit Particles in her body were depleted, preventing her from Blessed Fox Transformation. But due to her brother and Daolang Sheep's influence,

the Spirit Particle Potion stimulated the Spirit Particles of Daolang Sheep, causing parts of Tang You's body to undergo sheep-like changes.

Tang You's backside, resembling a sheep's rump, was large, like a tuft of sheep tail fat.

Ansheng curiously poked it, finding the texture quite nice.

"Those assailants suspected my dad, having learned about the job brokers engaging in arbitrage, they intended to kill to silence!"

Tang You adjusted her position so the little fox could better pat her backside and sighed, saying: "Over twenty years ago, rare earth mines could be contracted to enterprises and individuals, but it gradually tightened over the past decade, until it was fully nationalized."

"With production tightened, prices surged, creating room for arbitrage....."

"Someone was bringing rare minerals here under the guise of iron ore to process at my family's metal refinery, thereby refining and selling the products for arbitrage."

Tang You recounted what she knew, details learned after defeating the assailants from their confessions.

In short, it was a calamity brought on by lax management.

This metal refinery, essentially, was one of the ancillary industries that Tang You's father, as a former mine owner, had casually purchased.

But that was in the past; the Tang Family now primarily focuses on photovoltaics, energy, and environmental sectors.

And the metal refinery should have closed alongside the mines a decade ago, but the refinery had over 20,000 registered employees at its peak.

A factory of such scale cannot be closed abruptly, or else the unemployment of over 20,000 people might affect local employment and livelihood.

So, Tang You's dad simply kept it open, allowing the factory to take on some contract mineral processing, without recruiting new employees, treating it like a retirement home to fulfill social responsibility.

Perhaps, due to Tang You's dad frequently inspecting the refinery recently, the job brokers' suspicion was triggered, leading to today's ambush.

But, evidently.

Tang You's dad didn't know about any of this; when his vehicle broke down, he called Tang You to pick him up for the New Year's reunion dinner.

"Is your dad okay?"

Ansheng retracted her paw, looking at Tang You, inquiring about her father's situation.

"I don't know, before I arrived, there might have already been a conflict at the factory because there's a smell of gunpowder."

Tang You shook his head; working at the metal smelting factory is considered a high-risk job. Before starting work, everyone has to hand over their phones to prevent being distracted during work.

At this very moment, the smelting factory is like an isolated island, and what's happening inside can only be explored personally.

"Don't worry! We're waiting for you to join our duo game tonight!" Ansheng patted Tang You's shoulder and directed his gaze towards the smelting factory.

Surrounding smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and in the sky, white dandelions intensified the search effort. Within a hundred miles radius, any two-legged creature was captured and brought to the factory.

Ansheng picked up Tang You and jumped onto her shoulder, heading towards the White High Tower to find the enemy.

"That's the guy!"

Tang You arrived in front of the White High Tower, scanned around the drooping willow branches, and immediately spotted a terrified middle-aged man hanging on the branches, shouting loudly.

"Let go of me! I don't know anything; if you want to capture someone, go after the production manager. For money, catch the finance director....."

"Eternal Heaven bless....."

Tang Jiqi's cries for help were incessant, even swinging on the white willow branches, trying to pull other workers to cut him loose.

"About to meet his end, and he still has the spirit to swing?!" Ansheng looked at Zhong Deng in amazement, gestured to the High Tower to release him, and let the steel serpent scatter into steel soldiers, who then grabbed iron rods and beat him relentlessly.

"Have you seen your dad?" Ansheng turned to Tang You and asked.

"Still looking....." Tang You responded and shouted towards the White High Tower, "Dad! If you're alive, make a sound! Your daughter has brought that blond son-in-law home——"

"Where's that damn blondie, I'll chop him to pieces!"

Tang You yelled with all her might, and instantly, a male voice furiously responded to her shout.

Tang You looked in the direction of the voice and saw a sturdy middle-aged man in a blue worker's uniform, with his shoulder bleeding, half-wrapped in white cocoons.

Tang You's dad was overwhelmed with anger, face red, but his rigidity didn't last long.

He couldn't catch a breath and passed out again.

"Dad!"

Tang You's eyes widened; she stepped forward quickly, pulled her dad down from the willow branches, and tore his clothes open to examine the penetrating wound on his shoulder.

"Blond....."

"Blonde doesn't work.... they impregnate women and then ride ghost motorcycles to escape, change them quickly." Tang You's dad suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed Tang You's arm, his consciousness fuzzy, and murmured mosquito-like:

"At least.... let me break the blondie's dog legs to prevent him from riding ghost motorcycles to escape."

"The family's only daughter can't suffer..."

"Dad! What are you talking about? Keep quiet." Tang You removed her coat, tore off a piece of fabric from her wool coat, and firmly covered the bleeding wound.

"Let me handle this!" Wrapped in a down jacket upon landing, Ansheng spoke with a face of helplessness, placing her paw on Tang You's dad's chest to activate Blood and Flesh Will.

Tang You's dad's chest heaved, while the flesh rippled, forcing out the dirt from the penetrating wound, causing flesh buds to entangle, fusing the bullet-pierced shoulder and bones together.

"All done....." Ansheng glanced at Tang You's dad, turned and spoke to Tang You, "Your dad's body is fine, as for the current coma..."

Pausing briefly here, Ansheng's expression turned peculiar before speaking, "He..... fainted from rage."

Tang You's dad's wound appeared terrifying, but had actually been treated beforehand, with gauze inserted to forcibly block the bleeding point, and it was due to blood loss that he slipped into a coma.

"..... It's expected; our family, both the previous and current generations, I'm the only girl, the rest are all like my brothers, muscle-bound men with hoarse voices."

"Dad knowing I brought a blond home, and not having a stroke counts as healthy." Tang You sighed, looking at Master Fuli's fox legs and said:

"But this couldn't be avoided, otherwise how would we have found out where Dad was."

"No, you talk, just talk, but why touch my thigh while talking?"

Seated straight on the ground, Ansheng showed her snow-white belly and looked directly at Tang You, surprised, while she was touching the outside of Ansheng's thigh.

"Nothing much, just curious. If I bring grandmaster home as my boyfriend, I wonder if Dad would dare to break your legs." Seeing her dad peacefully asleep, Tang You smiled playfully and asked Master Fuli.

If the blond I bring home is actually Third Grandmaster Fox in identity...

Would Dad furiously accept with a conflicted face, or would he grab a wooden stick and fight the little fox?

Tang You was determined to find out.

"...."

Ansheng stared at Tang You with a face flushed with annoyance and disbelief.
