The nighttime theft at the brick kiln caused widespread panic.
Led by the two foremen, everyone thoroughly cleaned the kiln inside and out, leaving no blind spots. This not only ensured production safety but also made it easier to handle unexpected incidents. Although the identity of the thief remained unknown, at least they could guard against future thefts.

He prepared three extra flashlights in his room and secretly placed stones of various sizes, thorny wooden sticks, and long bamboo poles embedded with iron nails around the front and back of his house, just in case. Of course, given his advanced age, he might not actually be able to handle a sudden crisis at night, so he eagerly looked forward to Factory Director Zhang's early return, hoping he would bring back a dog—preferably one that was exceptionally smart and fierce.
