Chapter 407 Disappointment
However, as Xu Yuan turned around, he silently cursed, "Idiot! It's not an exaggeration to curse you, it's just cursing you! Idiot! Your whole family are idiots..."

Lin's father watched Xu Yuan's retreating figure, his face filled with deep sorrow.

He thought about it all night, considering whether or not to remind Xu Yuan. But when he arrived today, he overheard Xu Yuan talking about him and his daughter behind his back.

It doesn't matter what people say about him. Over the years, he's been the subject of much gossip behind his back. When he was younger, he might have gotten angry, but as he's gotten older, he's become indifferent.

Because whatever others say is out of jealousy, because they can't stand him.

He doesn't care.

However, he wouldn't allow anyone to talk about his child!

Lin's father glanced at Xu Yuan, who had already entered the building, sighed, and said, "Whatever, I don't care anymore."

If Xu Yuan really steals something and gets caught, he will definitely not show any mercy.

Originally, Lin's father was going to a meeting at the project site. He glanced at the time and saw that there were still twenty minutes left.

He thought for a moment, then walked towards the dormitory.

Everyone's out working now, so there's no one in the dorms.

He walked to Xu Yuan's bed and found where Xu Yuan had put his luggage.

Lin's father stood in front of Xu Yuan's luggage and hesitated for a while. He never touched other people's things.

But... now he wants to know if Xu Yuan had stolen anything before.

He and his men have been working at this construction site for two months now. Are Xu Yuan's hands clean or not?

After thinking for a while, Lin's father gritted his teeth and carefully opened Xu Yuan's bag.

A few minutes later, Lin's father stared at the thing Xu Yuan had wrapped in clothes, his face and neck turning red with anger.

At that moment, the project team's phone rang, telling him to go to a meeting immediately.

Lin's father took a deep breath and carefully restored Xu Yuan's belongings to their original state.

Before leaving, he quickly sent a message to He Qi'an, telling him that Xu Yuan had some things in his bag that probably hadn't been sold yet.

Then he walked quickly toward the project site.

He Qi'an received a message from Lin's father.

He put away his phone and looked at Xu Yuan across from him. He saw Xu Yuan.

As soon as Xu Yuan entered the building, he went to the floor where they were responsible for their work. When the people working with him saw him, they all laughed and joked with him.

"Xu Yuan, did you get scolded?"

"Xu Yuan, we heard Old Lin cursing from way over there, hahaha..."

"I heard that too. Serves you right for not coming to work!"

"We're all here to make money, so let's work honestly. If we had money at home, who would come here to do backbreaking manual labor..."

"Yeah, sigh, my wife called last night asking for money, saying there are some school fees for the two kids..."

Sigh, raising a child these days is so expensive!

"That's right, everything costs money these days. If you go out for a trip, a hundred yuan probably won't be enough!"

"Sigh, I can't earn enough to keep spending it all!"

"Keep working! Work hard, and send your wages home when you get paid..."

Xu Yuan listened to those people's words with a dark face and didn't respond.

He was carrying a pair of pliers and walking around.

He stopped when he walked up to Jiang Ke.

Jiang Ke looked at Xu Yuan and asked softly, "How are you?"

Xu Yuan smiled and said, "I don't need anything! Old Lin is a lunatic, I'm not going to bother with him!"

Jiang Ke nodded and continued working.

Jiang Ke used to work, earning three to four thousand yuan a month. His parents were in poor health, and he spent most of his earnings on their medical treatment.

He couldn't get a wife because he didn't have the money.

Before the Lunar New Year, he wanted to change jobs, but after resigning, he couldn't find another job.

After the New Year, I contacted Xu Yuan, who happened to say he had work available for 200 yuan a day. As soon as he heard that, he came.

Although the job was a bit tiring, he was quite satisfied with the 200 yuan a day, which added up to 6000 yuan a month. Moreover, besides this salary, he also received other "income," which, when added together, brought him close to 10,000 yuan a month!

This is equivalent to more than two months' salary of his previous job!

If he works here for a year, he can earn over 100,000 yuan...

The more Jiang Ke thought about it, the more excited she became.

Xu Yuan stood next to Jiang Ke and asked, "Do you need to use the restroom?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ke's eyes lit up. "Let's go, I was just thinking of going."

The two exchanged a smile, then went downstairs to use the restroom.

When the others heard that the two had gone to the toilet, they all grimaced, thinking, "Lazy people need to poop and pee all the time!"
After Xu Yuan and Jiang Ke left, the others started talking about the two of them.

"This young Jiang was so well-behaved when he first arrived, but now he's just like Xu Yuan!"

"You can tell, those two have been going to the toilet all the time lately, and each time they're gone for an hour, tsk."

"That's why I said those two are the most cunning. They both went while Lao Lin was in a meeting, so he couldn't catch them, hahaha..."

"Sigh, that old Lin guy..."

……

He Qi'an, who was on the opposite side, saw Xu Yuan and another young man chatting and laughing as they went downstairs, and he immediately followed them.

He then followed them silently.

After they went downstairs, He Qi'an saw Xu Yuan and the other person looking around furtively before heading straight to a secluded spot.

Upon arriving at a certain place, Xu Yuan and Jiang Ke squatted down.

"We dug this far last time, let's continue digging today."

Jiang Ke nodded, "Okay! I sold the ones I dug up last time for over four hundred."

Xu Yuan glanced around and said in a low voice, "I haven't sold them yet. I'll sell them all together with what I dug up today."

"This thing is really valuable!"

When Xu Yuan heard Jiang Ke say this, he laughed and said, "It's not that it's valuable, copper is expensive to begin with!"

And this is Haishi, it's even more expensive than where we're from."

"Hurry up and dig, once we're done, we still need to find a place to strip the copper today..."

"it is good!"

Xu Yuan and his companion dug with all their might, while He Qi'an, behind them, filmed their actions with his phone.

He then carefully moved closer to the two of them and, taking advantage of their inattention, quickly ran over.

Xu Yuan keenly sensed someone was there, and when he looked up, he saw people running towards them.

"Run!"

Xu Yuan immediately dropped what he was holding and ran away.

Jiang Ke was a step too slow and was immediately knocked to the ground by He Qi'an, who handcuffed her.

"Crouch down! Don't run!"

He Qi'an said coldly.

Jiang Ke was stunned. He touched the handcuffs on his hands, completely bewildered.

He sat blankly on the ground, his hands clasped behind his back, and only two words echoed in his mind: "It's over."

He Qi'an quickly chased after Xu Yuan, who fled at top speed.

However, he was caught before he got very far.

"Who are you! I haven't done anything wrong, what right do you have to arrest me? Let me go..."

He Qi'an didn't say anything, but directly grabbed him.

He Qi'an called Lin's father, "Uncle, I caught two thieves at your construction site..."

At that moment, Lin's father was in a meeting at the project site. After hearing He Qi'an's words, he looked around at the people.
