The tall chimney at the brick factory was still emitting thick black smoke, which gave off a pungent smell from a distance. Wang Xi, who was born in the south, felt extremely uncomfortable with this choking odor. He parked his motorcycle on the side and disappeared into the bushes.
Perhaps due to the spacious area, green vegetation was planted around the brick factory for windbreak and air purification. After changing several positions, Wang Xi squatted on the right side of the main entrance, where the view was open, allowing him to see the inside quite clearly.
The layout of the brick factory was simple: the plant area, warehouse, and dormitory—three iconic buildings. In the middle was an open space with two trucks parked, but Ji Weihua's black Mazda was not among them.
