Zhou Liangqi pulled her to a deserted place before letting go of her hand. The lights here were bright and he could clearly see the marks of being beaten on his face.
Jiang Shu raised her head and looked at him breathlessly. She repeated, "Isn't that right?"
"Yes!" Zhou Liangqi shouted angrily, the veins in his neck bulging, "Construction started at night."
When Jiang Shu learned the truth, he took a step back and asked, "Were the materials used illegal?"
Zhou Liangqi turned away and said, "The matter has come to this, and it is meaningless to talk about these things."
Why is it meaningless? Jiang Shu has taken over many projects, and none of them have gone wrong, but now this one may very well lead to lives.
She looked at the place that collapsed into ruins from a distance, and saw darkness, which was in sharp contrast to the light here.
"Why do you do this? You are already married to the Wen family and there is no way you have no money. Why do you have to go to this step?"
She continued to ask questions, trying to get the answer from his mouth.
Zhou Liangqi never answered.
"A life is lost during the Chinese New Year, Zhou Liangqi, do you know what this means?"
"So what? With so many projects in Haicheng and so many projects across the country, haven't there been too many lives lost? Even the Fu family has suffered a lot of lives. I can suppress this news!"
The man's anger could not be restrained, and he punched a building nearby, causing his joints to bleed.
"Fu?" Jiang Shu laughed angrily, "It's because Fu's fate is so scary that I will strictly supervise this project for the sake of you and me being allies!"
But she didn't expect that they would actually work secretly at night.
A collapse occurred not long after the completion. It was obvious that seriously substandard materials were used from the beginning.
Jiang Shu was heartbroken. She desperately tried to save Zhou Liangqi, but he pushed her into the fire pit.
No wonder the person in charge at that time was so talkative, just to stabilize her.
When Zhou Liangqi heard this, he seemed surprised for a moment, and then he raised the corner of his mouth mockingly, "What happened to Mrs. Fu? Even if I, Mrs. Zhou, fall into the quagmire, I will make a comeback like Fu Shiyan!"
Jiang Shu's chest heaved with anger, and it took her a long time to recover.
"You are so self-deprecating that you asked me if I would be your lover. Where was your arrogance?"
The man's eyes were particularly bright, filled with irresolvable contradictions.
"At first, Qingying wanted to take over this project, but I had concerns. I asked you if there was moisture. What did you say?"
The situation today is completely different from that back then.
Zhou Liangqi turned around angrily, found a safety helmet somewhere and put it on her head, "I will suppress this matter. Tomorrow everyone will still focus on the happy New Year!"
Just when Jiang Shu wanted to speak, he tightened his helmet and said, "You don't have to interfere. Just pretend that you haven't been here today, and you can pretend that you don't know about this."
"you!"
At this moment, a man hurried over from the center of the ruins. He was sweating heavily on his head and his voice was soft. "Mr. Zhou, there is someone down there..."
Jiang Shu trembled, and she felt Zhou Liangqi stiffen as well.
"who?"
"Someone...someone recognized him, it's Lao Wu from the engineering team..."
"...alive?"
The man's answer was silence.
Jiang Shu screamed, pushed Zhou Liangqi away with all his strength, and ran towards the center of the ruins as hard as he could.
She pushed aside the crowd and suddenly saw Old Wu being pressed by a huge stone, lying there in a terrifying and twisted posture, and had long since made no sound.
Her stomach regurgitated, and she vomited as soon as she turned around.
