One person: Reborn as Huangxian, seeking the title of Feng Baobao at the beginning

But he seemed to have experience in dealing with this kind of situation, and he quickly pulled out a wad of banknotes from his designer handbag:
"Whoever goes down will get the money."

As Shen Qitian spoke, he threw the stack of money at the workers' feet.

This stack of money seemed to have more than a dozen bills, which naturally had an irresistible attraction for the workers.

As the saying goes, money can make the world go round.

Soon, a strong young man put the money into his pocket:
"Leader, I'll go down and take a look..."

"Okay, it's your turn. Get ready and go down."

Shen Qitian didn't even look at them, as if in his heart, he was naturally superior to these people.

The sturdy young man tied a hemp rope around his waist and tied the other end to a tree. With this simple protection, he walked towards the cave entrance with a flashlight.

"Da Zhuang, be careful..."

"Da Zhuang, come back, we don't want to make this money anymore..."

Some workers who have a good relationship with Da Zhuang are still reminding him worriedly.

But feeling the heavy weight of the banknotes in his pocket, the young man wiped his nose and said firmly:

"It's okay. I'll send the money to my mother and pay for my father's medical treatment!"

The young man spoke very simply, but at the same time he strode firmly towards the cave.

Shen Qitian and his companions also came forward curiously and looked at the young man whose half body was already in the cave.

Instead of being worried, they kept urging him to hurry up.

The young man nodded repeatedly and quickened his speed. Since the cave entrance could only accommodate one person, it was impossible to look down to see what was happening below. Therefore, the young man could only grope and slowly loosen the rope in an extremely uncomfortable position to go down.

Everyone gathered at the entrance of the cave, some were curious, some were worried.

At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on the young man.

As the rope at the cave entrance became tighter and tighter, the young man's faint cry finally came from inside the cave:
"No, it's too deep here and the rope is not enough. Pull me up quickly."

Hearing this, several workers were about to go over to help, but were kicked away by Shen Qitian:
"Look down quickly and tell me what you can see and how deep it is?"

Shen Qitian shouted towards the cave entrance very coldly, but the young man's voice soon came again:

"I can't hold on any longer. I can't see anything. Please pull me up first..."

Perhaps because of the thin oxygen in the cave, the young man's voice was much weaker than before.

Shen Qitian was naturally afraid of something happening, so he waved his hands impatiently and asked the workers to pull him up.

Seeing this, several workers quickly stepped forward, grabbed the rope and kept pulling it up.

"Ah! Ghost!"

However, at this moment, a scream from the young man suddenly came from the cave.

Then, the entire rope quickly became taut as if being dragged by a huge force, shocking the workers nearby several steps back.

"This……"

The workers all looked at the rope with horror.

The hemp rope was still shaking, and it was obvious that the young man in the cave was struggling desperately.

"pat..."

However, before everyone could come to their senses, the originally taut rope suddenly softened and fell to the ground.

The sudden scene made everyone subconsciously hold their breath, and no one knew what had happened.

"Tick tock...tick tock...tick tock..."

The sky, which had been filled with dark clouds for a long time, finally began to rain.

The raindrops hit Shen Qitian's glasses, and then he reacted:

"What are you all standing there for? Pull him up quickly!"

Shen Qitian's roar echoed in Yishan, and the workers finally reacted and hurried forward to pull the rope together. But soon, they found that the rope did not require much effort.

Soon, the other end of the rope was pulled out of the hole, but the young man was nowhere to be seen.

Looking at the empty rope and the glaring bloodstains on it, the workers who were dragging the rope collapsed to the ground in fear.

Shen Qitian immediately took off his glasses, widened his eyes, and looked at the scene in disbelief.

The raindrops grew from small to large. Even though it was already six o'clock in the morning, the sky showed no sign of getting brighter and was still as dark as day and night.

Everyone stayed away from the entrance of the cave and no one dared to get close.

"Where's Da Zhuang? Where's Da Zhuang?"

I don't know which worker shouted hurriedly, but it immediately made the workers come back to their senses.

"Da Zhuang! Da Zhuang!"

The migrant workers who had a good relationship with Da Zhuang quickly rushed to the entrance of the cave regardless of the danger and shouted inside.

However, apart from the echo, there was no response.

"Something happened, call the police!"

The worker tremblingly took out his old cell phone and wanted to call the police.

However, at this moment, Shen Qitian reacted and snatched the worker's phone and threw it to the ground:
"Why call the police? If you do, the project will be over!"

Shen Qitian was also a little panicked at this time, but he knew that this matter must not be made a big deal no matter what.

Although I don’t know what the situation in this cave is, something must have happened to Da Zhuang.

If the police are attracted once the alarm is called, they will definitely seal off the place and investigate.

By then the entire construction period will be delayed and I won’t be able to continue to be the director.

Shen Qitian, who was blinded by greed, immediately decided to suppress the news and not reveal it to anyone.

He reported the matter to his leader as soon as possible, but the director agreed with Shen Qitian's approach.

"Xiao Shen, this is the right thing to do.

The Yishan project is very important to our company, and we can’t make things any bigger.

It’s just one person who died. These people’s lives are worthless.

When he came back, he said that the accident was caused by his personal reasons, and that his family could get a large sum of money through insurance.

This is something that people like them can never earn in their lifetime. Don’t let this matter delay the project, understand?”

"Don't worry, Director. I understand."

Shen Qitian quickly agreed, and after hanging up the phone, his expression immediately changed.

"You all saw it, Da Zhuang had an accident because he didn't take adequate protective measures.

Their family will receive a large insurance compensation, and the matter will be settled.

No one is allowed to mention or discuss this matter anymore. If this project is delayed, you will be in big trouble."

After leaving a harsh remark, Shen Qitian returned to the construction site office angrily.

The other members of the club had never experienced such a thing and were a little overwhelmed at the moment.

"Alright, alright, let's go first. It's raining, everyone go back to your rooms first. After discussing this matter, we will definitely come up with a reasonable solution, everyone go back first..."

At the urging of the department members, the workers left with heavy hearts.

Several members of the department looked at each other and walked to the meeting room next to the construction site office in tacit understanding.

"You all saw what happened just now, right? Our minister was really scary just now."

"He takes this project very seriously. It's his only chance to make a name for himself."

"But it's a human life after all. Does that mean migrant workers are not human beings?"

"Okay, stop talking. There is no fairness in a place like this..."

Several employees gathered together and discussed in low voices with lingering fear, while Shen Qitian was sitting alone in the office.

The atmosphere in Yishan seemed to be becoming a little depressing...

"It's really strange, what's going on with the weather today?"

"It's already past 7 in the morning, why is it still so dark?"

“Is it going to rain heavily?”

Citizens were surprised to find that today's weather was extremely abnormal.

Although it was already past 7 o'clock in the morning, thick dark clouds covered the sky, shrouding the entire city of Tai in gloom.

Some young people who like to sleep in wake up and find that it is already past 7 o'clock. They wash up in a hurry and rush out.

Almost everyone missed the time. In a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness, they thought it was still early, but unexpectedly they were about to be late.

"Beep beep..."

In the streets and alleys, the shrill sound of horns rang out one after another, and the entire city of Tai seemed to be thrown into chaos in an instant.

However, people at this time did not realize that this was not an ordinary weather change.

Because until now, checking the weather forecast for the day, it still shows that it will be sunny today.

Starting half an hour ago, the Thai Meteorological Bureau has been receiving inquiries from citizens.

Citizens were curious and asked what was going on with the weather, but the Meteorological Bureau was also confused.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry and find out what's going on. Tai City is in chaos now."

The director of the Meteorological Bureau urged his staff to investigate, but the staff were helpless as they looked at the big screen showing all the data were normal.

They couldn't figure out what was going on with this strange weather.

All the data are normal, but the sky above is completely different from what the data shows.

Meanwhile, in the Thai City Hall...

Mayor Yang Xiao stared at Qin Shiheng with eyes wide open:

"Deputy Mayor Qin, are you kidding me? After the Taoist temple was demolished, a stone tablet was dug out from the ground?"

Qin Shiheng nodded quickly and handed over a few photos in his hand:

"Mayor, this is absolutely true. These are photos taken at the scene, and they were personally delivered by someone from Wusheng Group."

Yang Xiao took the photo and looked at it puzzledly.

In the photo, he clearly saw an ancient stone tablet engraved with dense, complex and profound text.

After reading for a long time, Yang Xiao still couldn't understand a single word, so he looked up at Qin Shiheng in confusion:
"Why is there a stone tablet under the Taoist temple? Who buried it there? Was it that old Taoist?"

Yang Xiao asked several questions in a row, but Qin Shiheng shook his head repeatedly, indicating that he could not give an answer.

Yang Xiao still did not give up and continued to ask:

"So what exactly is written on this stone tablet? Have you figured it out?"

Qin Shiheng still shook his head and said with some embarrassment:
"This stone tablet was just brought here not long ago and is currently parked in the courtyard of the municipal government. I just want to ask what arrangements you have made for this matter. Will you send it to the Cultural Relics Bureau for investigation?"

After hearing this, Yang Xiao's eyes lit up and he nodded with satisfaction:
"That's a good idea. Send it to the Cultural Relics Bureau as soon as possible. It's useless to keep it here. Perhaps only in this way can we figure out why this stone tablet appeared under the Taoist temple."

Qin Shiheng nodded, but didn't seem to have any intention of leaving. Instead, he seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Yang Xiao saw his hesitation, frowned in confusion and asked:

"Deputy Mayor Qin, do you have any other questions?"

After getting Yang Xiao's permission, Qin Shiheng finally plucked up the courage to speak out his doubts:

"Mayor Yang, didn't the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau say before that the Taoist temple couldn't be demolished because something was suppressed underneath? Now that we've discovered a stone tablet underneath the Taoist temple, and a hole underneath the stone tablet, will that confirm what the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau said?"

After hearing this, Yang Xiao frowned, thought for a moment, sneered and shook his head:

"Nonsense! How can you believe such a thing? What's the situation with the cave? Have you checked it out?"

"Shen Qitian, the head of the Wusheng Group Project Department, is currently investigating the matter on the construction site. It won't be long before we have an answer."

After hearing what Qin Shiheng said, Yang Xiao waved his hand:
"Okay, if that's the case, let's just wait for news and stop imagining things. No matter how special the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau is, it can't predict the future. In my opinion, this stone tablet is not that evil."

Qin Shiheng nodded and then left Yang Xiao's office.

Yang Xiao looked up at the dark window. Such weather made him feel depressing.

"When will this damn weather get better..."

Yang Xiao muttered helplessly, then began to deal with the documents on the desk.

At this time, he had not yet realized the strangeness of Yishan.

Like everyone else, Yang Xiao just felt that the weather appeared inexplicably, but did not think too much about it.

He just wanted to wait for Shen Qitian to give an investigation result and find out what was going on in the cave.

However, he didn't know that at this time Shen Qitian was hiding the fact that a worker was missing and his life or death was unknown when he sneaked into the cave to investigate.

What Yang Xiao didn't know was that at this time, a layer of white fog had gradually risen inside Yishan.

……

Shen Qitian, sitting alone in the office, looking at the depressing sky outside the window, felt a little breathless.

He picked up the teacup and walked to the water dispenser to pour himself a cup of hot water.

However, at this moment he was completely unaware that the white fog outside the window was gradually gathering and becoming thicker and thicker.

"Look outside the window, why is it suddenly foggy?"

"The weather has been strange these past two days. A few raindrops fell not long ago, but then there was thunder but no rain. Now there is white fog again. I don't know when we can resume work as normal."

"Forget it, forget it. There's no rush for this matter. Da Zhuang still doesn't know what the situation is. If they really want to suppress this matter, where can we go to seek justice?"

The workers sat in their respective dormitories, looking out the window, discussing the matter one after another.

Everything that had happened before was still vivid in everyone's mind, casting a shadow over everyone's heart.

Although the workers didn't say it, each of them developed an inexplicable fear of the cave.

No one knows what is going on down there, let alone whether Da Zhuang is alive or dead.

Of course, they were most worried about themselves. As long as the weather improved, Shen Qitian would definitely send people down to check again. Would it be their turn then? (End of this chapter)
