Chapter 2099: Chapter 2059: Seems Suspicious
Because an accident had just happened, all work at the construction site had already been suspended for inspection. Zhou Wenting was the person in charge of the antiviral drug research laboratory here. Even though the construction had been handed over to the Su Family, it was still related to her.
While Zhou Wenting went to gather those people in charge for a meeting, Ye Qiu went over to the construction site to inspect it.
He checked around the site once and found that the safety measures and safety reminders in all aspects were done quite well. But then why did the iron shed collapse over there?
There was surveillance all around the site now, so Ye Qiu felt that maybe it was sabotage?
If it was sabotage, then that would be troublesome.
After the inspection, Ye Qiu indeed felt it was very suspicious.
But at the moment, Zhou Wenting was in a meeting, stressing that safety came first. There was no need to rush the schedule; it would be fine even if the project was extended to the second half of next year.
If the construction schedule was extended, it would definitely ease a lot of pressure on the workers on site, but for those subcontractors, it really didn’t mean much.
Because they earned money by doing the actual work, and the total area and such had already been calculated. It wasn’t calculated by time, so they still had to do the same amount of work.
After finishing the meeting, Zhou Wenting came out, looked at Ye Qiu and said, "Those people in charge just now all let out a sigh of relief when they heard that no one died."
"I just inspected it. The safety measures at this site are actually pretty good in all respects, but why would the iron shed suddenly collapse like that? So I suspect it might have been caused by sabotage."
Sabotage?
Then it wouldn’t be a simple safety accident or safety hazard anymore; it would fall under a criminal case.
"Ye Qiu, should we call the police?"
"I want to take a look at the surveillance footage first."
Ye Qiu and Zhou Wenting followed a security guard from the site to the security monitoring room. In the monitoring room, they could see twenty-four-hour surveillance of the entire site, including both underground and above-ground works.
Ye Qiu replayed the footage of the spot where the iron shed had collapsed, rewinding all the way back three days, including both daytime and nighttime, and didn’t find anything unusual.
There’s no way it would just collapse for no reason, right?
If those iron sheds were properly erected, there was simply no way this kind of problem would occur.
However, it was also possible that something went wrong during the operation process.
Ye Qiu watched the replay again and found that those migrant workers involved in the accident all looked like they were working very seriously!
After watching, Ye Qiu said, "There probably isn’t any problem, but you security guards still need to keep an eye on things."
They were all using iron sheds now, unlike before when they used bamboo sheds.
Obviously, iron sheds were much heavier than bamboo sheds, so if something did happen, the casualties could be much more serious.
Ye Qiu and Zhou Wenting came out of the monitoring room, and when they got outside and into the car, Ye Qiu still felt it was strange.
When it came to this antiviral drug research laboratory, there shouldn’t be many people who knew it was related to him. So if it was sabotage, it would definitely have been targeted and purposeful.
But just now, when Ye Qiu checked, he hadn’t seen anything.
"I’m really hungry."
Zhou Wenting said.
It was already long past lunchtime, already after two in the afternoon.
Ye Qiu was also very hungry.
"I want to go back and take a shower before eating."
Ye Qiu called Xiaomai and asked her to prepare lunch first.
Then he drove back toward the Peach Blossom Source Villa Community.
When they got back to the villa, Xiaomai was in the kitchen making lunch. Since it was already past lunchtime, she hadn’t expected Ye Qiu to say he wanted to eat only now.
And it had been a long time since Zhou Wenting last came to the villa. While she went to take a look in the kitchen, Ye Qiu went upstairs first, took a comfortable shower, and washed off that bloody smell from his body.
When he finished and went downstairs, Ye Qiu’s phone rang again. It was a call from Su Luoluo.
"Ye Qiu, I heard those injured workers from the construction site are okay?"
At first, Su Luoluo had thought that with such an accident at the site, there would definitely be a few deaths. She hadn’t expected that in the end everyone would be fine.
She had just learned this from her father.
Of course, she had personally called her father to find out.
There had been nine injured patients, including two people in charge and seven migrant workers, and they all had been fully cured.
And it was Ye Qiu who personally treated them.
"Yeah, they’re fine now."
Ye Qiu said flatly.
He didn’t want to say more.
Su Luoluo had originally wanted to say something else, but suddenly stopped.
On the other end, she only gave a brief "Oh" and then hung up.
"Ye Qiu, why did you come back so late?"
Xiaomai asked curiously.
"Something came up just now."
Zhou Wenting and Xiaomai had known each other for a while, just not very well. She hadn’t expected that Ye Qiu had bought Xiaomai a grand piano worth tens of thousands.
Just from that alone, Zhou Wenting felt that Ye Qiu was pretty good to this little housekeeper!
After lunch, they rested in the living room for an hour. Then Zhou Wenting asked Ye Qiu to drive her back. She still had a lot of things to deal with.
Even though the accident had zero deaths, there were still many things she needed to handle.
After they got into the car, Ye Qiu drove Zhou Wenting back to Wang Yulian’s place, then backed the car out and headed back to the Peach Blossom Spring Villa.
He knew very clearly that if he hadn’t arrived in time this time, there definitely would have been deaths at the antiviral drug research laboratory site.
But what exactly caused it?
Was it deliberate sabotage?
Or was it because the migrant workers weren’t paying attention while working?
Or was it some other reason?
No matter how he thought about it, Ye Qiu felt there was something off.
Of course, in Jinling, he wasn’t afraid of anyone provoking him. Even that Deputy Mayor Zhu’s son, Zhu Yunhui—if he ran into Ye Qiu in the future, he’d probably have to tuck his tail between his legs. Otherwise, who knew what might happen to him.
This time, it had taken three pleas before Ye Qiu finally saved his life.
"Ye Qiu, what are you thinking about?" After seeing Ye Qiu send Zhou Wenting back and then come back so quickly, Xiaomai, who was sitting beside him giving him a massage, asked.
In her eyes, Ye Qiu’s brain wasn’t like a normal person’s; he could think of anything, while she had no idea what he was thinking about.
"Nothing much, just a bit tired."
He had just saved so many injured patients, and Ye Qiu had consumed a lot of Spiritual Energy, which did make him feel a bit tired.
Besides, the Spiritual Energy he had cultivated over the last two nights had been completely used up.
It was only because he had broken through from the Qi Refinement Realm into the Foundation Establishment Stage that Ye Qiu could heal so many patients at once. Otherwise, he could only have treated them in batches.
Ye Qiu lay down on Xiaomai’s thighs, smelling the faint fragrance coming from her body. He glanced at her, but Xiaomai seemed unaware, still earnestly giving Ye Qiu a massage treatment.
"Alright, go practice the piano."
When Ye Qiu sat up, he went back to his room to play on the computer.
