The west construction site of Jude Wang in Haicheng.
They had been signing for supplies until evening. Since the day before yesterday, everyone had been excited and hadn't had a good rest.
In the evening, Zhu Ning gave the order to knock off early and go back to rest. After the crowd dispersed, the construction site was quiet, as if it had fallen into a deep sleep.
Song Junjie received a call. "Mr. Song, everyone at Jude Wang has knocked off."
Song Junjie felt parched. The fact that Jude Wang had knocked off meant it was time for him to take action.
He always felt a bit panicked and unsure, but then he remembered Ma Huairen's phone call.
The merit of assisting the dragon.
He closed his eyes and gritted his teeth.
"Take action!"
"Yes."
The minion hung up the phone and immediately got into his accomplice's car. "After this job, we won't have to worry for the rest of our lives."
The accomplice also had a fiery look of hope in his eyes. "What else is there to say? Let's do it!"
They drove the truck towards the Jude construction site. The guard stopped them and asked, "What are you doing? You're not allowed to enter now."
The minion said, "We're here to deliver equipment to Jude Wang. The truck is rented by the hour, and it's about to exceed the time limit. Could you please make an exception and let us in to unload the goods?"
As he said that, he offered a cigarette. The guard took the cigarette and took a cursory look inside the truck.
"Alright, then you can go in first. But everyone is resting now, so we can't settle the bill. It'll have to wait until tomorrow."
Hearing this, the two men exchanged a look. "Okay, okay. We trust Jude Wang. Tomorrow is fine."
They finally drove the truck in. But then they turned around and sneered, "I don't think much of Jude Wang. They let us in just for a cigarette. They deserve to have their land polluted."
"Humph, who says no? They're just rich and stupid. They're unlucky to have run into us!"
The truck drove into the construction site, and the two men specifically found a secluded and sheltered corner.
They unloaded more than a dozen large barrels of waste engine oil from the truck, then opened the lids and poured it out. The black waste engine oil gurgled onto the ground. Just then, there was a noise behind them. It was the site supervisor on patrol. "Hey, what are you doing? What are you pouring!"
The two men's faces turned pale simultaneously. The next moment, the quiet construction site suddenly lit up brightly, illuminating their figures clearly.
Someone rushed out and pointed at the ground. "This is waste engine oil! They're here to pollute the land!"
Looking over, they saw that the one accusing them was the guard they had bribed with a cigarette earlier!
"Wow!" The site supervisor was furious. "Heartless scumbags! How dare they come and harm our land! Brothers, grab your weapons and catch the thieves!"
At the shout, thousands of doors opened simultaneously. Countless migrant workers came out of their rooms, all of them looking angry and excited, ready for action.
The two men backed away with pale faces, but they couldn't stop the countless wooden poles and sticks from hitting them. They covered their heads and ran away desperately. The migrant workers split into three groups and chased after them. Some took photos and videos as evidence, while others rushed to dig the soil to save the land.
The three groups didn't interfere with each other. Suddenly, the two men realized something was wrong.
Weren't they supposed to be sleeping? Why weren't they even taking off their shoes when they slept!
The two men looked at each other in horror.
This was clearly a trap!
Song Junjie paced back and forth nervously in his residence, sweating profusely and extremely agitated. He kept looking at his watch and phone.
There was still no reply, no reply!
Just then, the sound of Zhang Shulan opening the door came. "Comrade policeman, why are you looking for Junjie so late at night..."
Song Junjie's heart skipped a beat. He instinctively wanted to run, but the next moment, the door was pushed open. The policeman showed the arrest warrant. "Song Junjie, you instigated others to pollute the environment, which involves criminal offenses. Please come with us to cooperate with the investigation!"
All the color drained from Song Junjie's face.
How could this happen!
After Ma Huairen left the city, he had been escaping on small paths.
He always felt like someone was chasing him, and in fact, he was right. When he took a quick glance back while walking on a small path, he saw that car chasing in his direction.
"I just saw him! He's in this direction!"
"Quickly chase!"
Ma Huairen's face turned as white as paper. His heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was about to jump out of his throat. He quickened his pace. The people behind heard the noise and quickly locked onto him. "I see him! There he is!"
Ma Huairen ran away in panic. But then the people behind suddenly squatted down and reached for their cuffs.
The next moment.
"Whoosh!"
"Ah!"
Ma Huairen let out a shrill scream and then fell to the ground. He looked down and saw that his calf had been pierced.
A crossbow arrow.
A controlled weapon.
They were here to kill him.
Ma Huairen turned around in horror and pleaded for mercy. "Don't kill me, don't kill me. I have money. I can give you money."
The sharp arrowhead was pointed at his pupil. The cold weapon was ready to fire. As long as it was shot, he would die immediately.
"Of course you have money. As the general person in charge of Haicheng, you've embezzled enough money and caused the company to suffer heavy losses. Dying to atone for your sins is your fate."
Ma Huairen was terrified and desperate. "No, don't kill me. I can give you whatever Ni Fanyi can give you. Don't, don't kill me..."
"Tell that to the King of Hell."
"Whoosh!"
"Ah!!"
The arrow was shot, and Ma Huairen was directly pinned to the ground. Blood flowed everywhere.
"Someone's coming."
The two men looked at each other, then turned around and ran.
The sound of footsteps approached. Ma Huairen was lying on the ground, desperately raising his finger. "Help..."
But after a moment, his hand dropped in despair.
The next day, when the news of Ma Huairen's death reached Shanghai, Ni Fanyi was playing with the newly blessed Buddhist beads in his hand.
This was a string of high - quality sandalwood Buddhist beads. It was said to have the meaning of compassion and altruism. Since the day before yesterday, he had converted to Buddhism.
The office was filled with the gentle fragrance of incense. His subordinate handed the incense to him. Ni Fanyi got up compassionately to offer a memorial service for Ma Huairen. "Old Ma, you can rest in peace. Now that you're dead, the company's anger towards you will end here. It's my fault that I didn't take good care of you. If we can meet again in the next life, I'll definitely teach you how to be a good person and never fall into evil ways again."
The subordinate praised Ni Fanyi for his righteousness. Ni Fanyi said, "The company is still very angry with Old Ma. I don't dare to publicly pay my respects to him. I can only set up a small memorial in the office and offer two sticks of incense to console his soul."
"The company hates Ma Huairen so much now that everyone is avoiding him. Only you, Mr. Ni, still remember the old friendship and offer incense to him. If Ma Huairen is in heaven, he should thank you, Mr. Ni."
Ni Fanyi waved his hand. "Let's not talk about this." After offering the incense, he tightened the Buddhist beads around his wrist and said, "Old Ma is gone. We need to take care of things in Haicheng. Find someone to handle it... No, I'll go there myself."
"I have to go and meet that Miss Zhu."
In Haicheng.
"Ma Huairen is dead?"
Zhu Ning thought she had misheard.
He was fine yesterday, but now he's dead?
"To be precise, he died yesterday. I heard it was an accidental death. The police are investigating now."
The little girl said, "There aren't so many accidents."
Zhu Ning glanced at her but didn't say anything. But in her heart, she was also thinking.
Yes, there aren't so many accidents.
The manager said, "Miss, I heard that Song Junjie is making a fuss in prison, asking to see Ma Huairen."
Zhu Ning pursed her lips, then looked at Song Ya beside her, whose expression was tense.
"Ma Huairen can't go. We'll go instead."
"Song Ya."
"Miss."
"Let's go." Zhu Ning said, "Go and have a last look at your half - brother."
"Go and see him off."
The group set off for the police station. Song Junjie was still making a fuss. He kept asking for a lawyer one moment and Ma Huairen the next.
When Zhu Ning saw him, she said, "You won't be able to see Ma Huairen. How about seeing me instead?"
As soon as Song Junjie saw her, he immediately stood up from his seat.
"Zhu Ning! You set another trap for me! Don't you know that I'm now with Yaoyang? Aren't you afraid that General Manager Ma will take revenge on you for me?"
