Rebirth of the Uncrowned King

After eating, Cui Musheng and I had just walked out of the small restaurant at the entrance of the village when two large trucks rushed over, bringing up a big cloud of yellow dust. I felt my throat was hairy.

"Why are you driving!" Cui Musheng complained, wiping his face.

I looked in the direction of the car, and there were about a dozen young men in the back of each truck. Some were wearing vests, and some were shirtless. They looked like migrant workers.

"Let's go and have a look." I said to Cui Musheng, and then I stepped forward.

If my guess is correct, these people were sent by Ren Min Company. I don't know whether they are demolishing houses or flat fields, but maybe I can get some information from them.

Asking all the way, following the instructions of the villagers, Cui Musheng and I walked for more than half an hour, and finally found a few young people.

They carried tables, chairs and other things, and came out of a small one-story house one after another, threw things on the ground casually, then turned around and went in to carry things.

In a corner by the door, there are already a lot of things piled up, including old wooden furniture, cotton-padded quilts, TV sets and electric fans are left alone, maybe these people plan to sell them for money.

"Isn't this the home of the dead old man? Why did they break in so grandly? If the old man finds out, he won't be able to die in peace!" Cui Musheng clenched his fists, intending to rush forward to stop them.I quickly grabbed his sleeve and stopped him.

"You, it's a good thing to have a sense of justice, and it's good to have a warm heart, but don't be impulsive. There are so many of them, and you are alone. You know that it's purely hitting a stone with a pebble? Besides, they also use people's money to do things with others. You argue with them To no avail."

"Then what should we do?" Cui Musheng asked hastily, with a concerned expression on his face.

"Let's first find out which company they belong to, and who hired them to work, which projects they are responsible for, whether they only demolish the house or include the subsequent construction, and they know what the land will be used for. How much..." As I was talking, I saw Cui Musheng take out a pen and a notebook out of nowhere, making notes in the notebook, looking very serious.

The child!I can't help but think of his listless look at lunch, maybe his father is right, he is really suitable for this job, with strong resistance to shocks, quick recovery, and high energy, maybe I should really train him.

I discussed it with Cui Musheng, bought some cold beer, and ran to the door of the house, claiming that I came to condolences, and made friends with the migrant workers.

It was just after noon, the hottest time of the day, and these young lads were doing the hardest physical work again, and no one was sweating.Seeing someone coming to deliver beer, we were all overjoyed, and immediately lost our guard against us.Cui Musheng and I sat with them, drinking beer and talking sideways.

"Our foreman said that all the houses here will be demolished, the farmland will be leveled, and then piles will be driven, the concrete floor will be laid, and a large factory will be built. In a few days, hundreds of workers will come!" said one of the most active young people. Someone told us: "However, we don't know exactly what will be built, but the foreman said that it seems that foreigners will come to work together."

I then asked: "Then do you know which company's factory is built here? Such a large piece of land is quite impressive."

"I really don't know," the young people shook their heads one after another: "We all work wherever the foreman takes us, we do whatever we ask, and we don't care which company we do the work for, and the foreman doesn't care. won't tell us."

"Yeah!" Someone added: "And we don't have any skills, so we can only do this kind of clumsy and clumsy physical work. If you are a skilled worker, you can still see what it looks like inside. But if you are lucky, stay until the factory is renovated. , you can see the brand of the factory.”

I was a little frustrated, and asked again: "Your foreman didn't tell you at all? Didn't you ask you to take any protective measures? I seem to have heard that there is a dangerous chemical project going on here."

"As soon as you said it, I remembered," a young man said, throwing the empty beer bottle aside, "Last time I heard the foreman call, saying that he needed to prepare masks and gloves, and... masks? I can't remember."

I cheered up immediately and asked him: "Did your foreman mention the words 'Renchang Group'? Or just the word 'Renchang'?"

"Yes!" The youngest person among them jumped up: "I heard it, not from the foreman, but from old Bosch. He told the foreman secretly, but he didn't know that I heard it! That's what Bosch said," the young man cleared his throat and learned: "Ren Chang's boss spends a lot of money, you have to manage the progress, this ticket is well done, and the salary will definitely be paid on time by the end of this year."

"Old Boss is the head of our foreman. He is fierce and ugly. He is just like the monster in the game. We call him the old boss." Another person added.

The key problem has been confirmed. I should be happy because of the progress, but I feel a little heavy in my heart-although I knew before that Ren Min could not get rid of it, and I was ready to confront him, but after all, I didn’t get anyone’s own words Confirmation, I always have a sliver of unrealistic hope in my heart, hoping that this project will not be handled by Ren Min's company, so that he and I don't have to become complete opposites.

But now the words of these few people mean that my last glimmer of hope is shattered, and there is no longer any excuse for hesitation.Time waits for no one. Once the project is fully launched, it will be even more difficult to stop. What I have to do is to complete the investigation of Ren Min Company as soon as possible when everything is just getting started, and stop this project that threatens the safety of the entire city as soon as possible...

Saying goodbye to the migrant worker brothers, on the way to the entrance of the village, I was planning in my heart, thinking of several ways to further investigate, and planned to implement them one by one in the next few days.

Cui Musheng, who was walking behind me, suddenly tugged at the corner of my clothes and said, "Mr. Ye, I want to ask you something."

"What's wrong?" I looked back at him.

He stared straight at me with clear eyes and asked, "Will you be in danger when investigating the affairs of this village?"

I was taken aback for a moment and asked, "Why do you ask that?"

Cui Musheng frowned, and said: "Just now when we were chatting, your face suddenly became very serious, no, it was a bit tragic. I always feel that you seem to know something, but you hold back and don't tell me. .”
