Chapter 2569: Chapter 2569: Who Did This?
Only after he asked, did he notice the large puddle of water on the ground, and it didn’t take a genius to know where it came from. His face turned extremely unsightly all at once.
So, are you saying all those barrels of water are gone, not even a little left?
"Manager, all the water is gone, it’s all gone."
Stone, who was called by name, raised his head and looked at the manager. He felt truly frustrated, as he hadn’t found the person who sabotaged their wooden barrels by the time the manager arrived.
"Bastard, who did this? Do you know?"
The manager looked at the mess around him, the chaotic footprints, and his heart ached with anger.
Of course, he knew the water was gone. If it wasn’t, wouldn’t the people have snatched it all up? What he needed to know now was who had ruined their plan to collect grain!
"No, I don’t know."
Stone shook his head. He wished he knew who did it.
If he knew, he definitely wouldn’t let that person off. In Guangye City, there would be no place for that person to hide in the future.
But unfortunately, they didn’t know. None of the people queuing for water seemed capable of such a terrible act. What could he do?
"Manager, look at these wooden barrels, they’ve been smashed through, and the holes are so small."
He pointed out to the manager to look at the barrels. The holes were only as large as a thumb. If they were smashed by large stones, it would make sense, but these thumb-sized holes must have been made by small objects.
What kind of skill does a person need to break their thick wooden barrels with such small objects?
Moreover, it wasn’t just one wooden barrel but all of them.
On hearing this, the manager ignored the wet ground and stepped forward to inspect the holes in the barrels. When he saw those holes, his pupils slightly contracted.
"These holes..."
They weren’t something that an ordinary person could make.
No, it wasn’t smashing; someone used internal energy to pierce through the wooden barrels.
"Manager, there are small stones in the barrels."
Among the people who followed the manager, someone had already climbed onto the cart, stepping on a stool to peer into the wooden barrel.
After seeing the small stones inside the barrel, he poked his head out and informed the manager, who was inspecting from a distance. How could someone have used such small stones to pierce their wooden barrels?
"These stones are only thumb-sized. Manager, someone intentionally pierced our barrels." The man said.
Upon hearing this, the manager simply rolled his eyes at him.
Did he really need to remind him of this? He had already figured it out. He was only pondering who had the power to send someone to ruin his plans?
Could it be the authorities? That seemed the only possible answer, right?
He just didn’t understand. They had been coexisting peacefully with the authorities for days. The authorities drew small water quantities from their wells, distributing one or two barrels a day.
And on their side, they were using water to buy grain, not interfering with each other.
Why did this happen today? Could it be that the authorities took someone’s suggestion and sent someone to interfere?
He felt it was unlikely. Perhaps other people came to the city, disliked their grain-for-water scheme, and deliberately caused this to inflame the people’s sense of defiance?
"Manager, what should we do now?"
