Chapter 360: Something Happened
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lu Xiang blinked in shock. After a while, she came back to her senses and said, “Didn’t Manman tell you?”
Shen Xian grabbed her arm solemnly. “Tell me clearly what happened.”
Lu Xiang did not expect Shi Man to keep this matter from her. Now that she had exposed the matter, she could only explain it to Shen Xian.
Yi Kun and Yi Zheng’s father had been on bad terms for a long time. Shen Xian knew this in her heart, but she never expected Yi Kun to send people to the event location to cause trouble for the sake of power. He simply didn’t care about human lives.
When Shen Xian heard this, she was furious. “We have to let Shi Zhong know about this. It’s easy to block an open spear, but it’s difficult to guard against a hidden arrow. Now, the people at the front of the Shi family are him and Manman. 1 don’t want the two of them to be harmed.”
Lu Xiang patted her leg and comforted her softly. “Don’t worry, Manman is far more capable than we thought. She can handle these things.”
The task of rebuilding the city could not be delayed. After New Year’s Day, the disaster area began to arrange for construction. Fortunately, the frost and snow had stopped during this period of time, so it did not slow down the progress.
The area that Shi Man was in charge of had the fastest progress. She did not take everything just because her family was rich. Instead, she appropriately leaked some benefits to other companies to ensure efficiency and win goodwill.
Yi Zheng was mainly in charge of the construction of Yi City, and the project was also proceeding smoothly.
During this period of time, Yi Kun did not look good every time he came to the company.
The position he coveted was occupied by his biological nephew. It was obvious how much hatred he had in his heart now.
Originally, at this time every year, he and his son would go to various banquets and receive many benefits just because they were from the Yi family. However, this year, because of Yi Zheng’s sudden interference, his status plummeted.
Not only did the people who gave him the gifts disappear, but even his close friends avoided him.
Anyone with discerning eyes could tell that Yi Zheng was targeting them, so they all avoided them.
Yi Kun gritted his teeth in hatred, but he could only endure it for the time being. Shi Man and Yi Zheng were watching him too closely, and he had yet to have a chance to attack.
The two sides were in a stalemate. Yi Kun walked around the company with a straight face every day. Finally, he saw an opportunity.
On this day, Shen Xian was in the hospital for a checkup and preparing to remove the cast. Shi Man took the initiative to accompany her. Yi Zheng naturally would not let go of this opportunity to see Shi Man. He abandoned Tang Zhe and ran to the hospital to meet them.
Yi Kun knew that this might be his only chance. He immediately called the workers who had been lying in ambush. After instructing them, he sat in the office and closed his eyes in enjoyment.
Not long after, the phone on the table suddenly rang.
Yi Kun slowly picked up the receiver and pretended to widen his eyes in surprise. “What did you say? Someone died at the event location?”
When Yi Zheng received the news, he was accompanying Shen Xian for a detailed checkup.
Tang Zhe was extremely anxious on the phone. His voice was so loud that Shi Man could hear him from afar.
“Master, the safety rope of the operator in the sky suddenly snapped in midair. He fell from the fourth floor and has been sent to the hospital.”
“I understand. Protect the event location and don’t let anyone approach.” Yi Zheng hung up after giving a few instructions. He walked up to Shi Man and rubbed his eyebrows tiredly. “Manman, I have something to go back to.”
“I heard everything. I’ll go with you.” Shi Man felt that this matter was strange and wanted to go with him to see if she could find any clues.
“But Aunt Shen…” Yi Zheng wanted to persuade Shi Man to stay.
Su Tang hurriedly walked over and promised, “Go ahead and do your work. Leave this to me.”
Shi Man nodded in agreement and quickly rushed back to the event location with Yi Zheng.
Tang Zhe was so anxious that he paced around on the spot. Finally, he looked forward to Yi Zheng’s car and rushed over anxiously. “Master, there’s still no news from the hospital. I don’t know what’s going on now. It’s all my fault. I should have kept an eye on this side.”
“What’s going on?” Yi Zheng looked at the large pool of blood on the ground in front of him and frowned.
Tang Zhe admitted his mistake in detail. “It’s all my fault. At that time, there was a problem with the machine on the other side, so 1 brought people over to take a look to prevent delaying the construction process. Unexpectedly, as soon as 1 left, the person working above fell.”
He explained helplessly, “Before he went up, 1 carefully checked the safety measures. 1 don’t know how the safety rope broke. If something really happened, I’m willing to take full responsibility.”
His attitude was very sincere. He was sweating profusely in the cold winter.
At this moment, no words of comfort were more valuable than finding the truth. Shi Man didn’t say anything else and said calmly, “Where’s the rope? Let me see it.”
Tang Zhe hurriedly got someone to bring the item over, his entire body still trembling.
He was not afraid of the dead. He was afraid that Yi Zheng’s previous efforts would be wasted because of his negligence..
