Originally, it was just a minor matter.
No accidents had occurred during the construction of the Commercial Trade Building, other than Cheng Jia getting hit by a fallen brick. The one or two casualties were within reason.
Normally, a substantial condolence payment would be given to the family of the deceased, and any underlying issues would swiftly be covered up.
Qin Mu was the first to break the silence: “Mo Xiuchen, shall we proceed as you suggested earlier? If so, I will start gathering evidence against Yang Xinfa now.”
Since they had already offended Yang Xinfa, they had to act quickly,
Luo Haofeng wrinkled his brows, looking at the aloof Mo Xiuchen with some concern: “Mo Xiuchen, will your old man agree?”
This matter involved Mo Jingteng. If Yang Xinfa let the cat out of the bag, the consequences…
Seeing Mo Xiuchen was not talking, he turned to Wen Ran,
“Wen Ran, should we give the victim’s family…”
Mo Xiuchen interrupted Luo Haofeng’s words, his brows furrowed with an icy sternness, “Ah Mu, you start gathering the evidence. I’ll handle the rest.”
“The injured contractor is still in our hospital, I’ll watch over him for you. When the time comes, we’ll make him tell the truth.”
Gu Kai spoke lazily. They couldn’t underestimate the contractor as he held the key to the matter.
“Okay, and the crane operator is in custody. I’ll get in touch with him later.”
Qin Mu adds, his word carries more weight in this matter.
Soon, their tasks were assigned, and the atmosphere returned to normal. Luo Haofeng was the first to stand up, stretching his arms: “If there’s nothing else, I’ll head off now – I’m starving.”
“Ah Feng, I’ll go with you.”
Qin Mu also stood up. Now that Mo Xiuchen was back, he no longer needed to protect Wen Ran. He felt much lighter, concealing the hidden emptiness deep within his heart.
“Ah Feng, Ah Mu, why don’t I treat you guys to drinks? I’m free tonight.”
Before Mo Xiuchen could say anything, Gu Kai stood up. The three of them left the office amidst light-hearted banter.
The office door closed, and their voices gradually faded into the distance.
Inside the room, peace was restored.
Wen Ran lightly moistened her lips, her eyes quietly watching Mo Xiuchen. Her emotions hadn’t entirely settled yet.
Mo Xiuchen looked down at her liquid-like eyes, feeling a tightening in his heart as he saw everything reflected in them. He called out softly: “Ranran!”
Mo Xiuchen asked gently, “Ranran, what would you like to eat? We’ll go out in a bit.”
Wen Ran blinked, running her slender fingers across his perfect face. She smiled and asked, “Aren’t you going to meet the Chairman?”
A flicker of emotion crossed the depths of Mo Xiuchen’s eyes, quickly replaced by warmth: “Tonight, I just want to be with you.”
Other matters can wait till tomorrow.
Wen Ran was moved, her fingers traced his handsome eyebrows as her voice softened: “Xiuchen, are you having a hard time?”
She was, after all, torn too.
Wen Ran had always been naive, well-protected in the past with little exposure to the harsh realities of the world, until her family upheaval. That was when she began experiencing such things.
At the construction site yesterday, seeing the relatives of the dead crying their hearts out, she was reminded of her own parents. That day, when she witnessed the car crash and the fire, she was as distraught as them.
Mo Xiuchen was not in G City and Qin Mu was attacked by the family. The situation was too hard to control and the only thing she could do was to convince them that she would take full responsibility. That was a matter of principle.
