Xiao Zhao hesitated for a moment and lowered his voice. “Actually, I don’t think it was an accident. Brother Liu has been doing high-altitude homework for many years, and there have never been any accidents. Moreover, he’s especially careful. Every time he uses the safety rope, he checks it once to ensure it does not suddenly break.”
Shi Man pretended to be surprised and continued to ask, “Then do you have any other evidence to prove that this wasn’t an accident?”
“I…” Xiao Zhao suddenly lowered his head and thought seriously for a while before making up his mind to tell the truth.” Actually, 1 think I vaguely heard Brother Liu talking to someone downstairs, but I was too far away and didn’t hear clearly.”
Shi Man and Yi Zheng looked at each other and nodded. “Alright, I’ll investigate the clues you just provided seriously. If you think of anything else, please contact us as soon as possible.”
“Leader, will Brother Liu be fine? I want to go to the hospital to see him, okay?” Xiao Zhao begged pitifully. “Brother Liu used to take good care of me. He still has a daughter in junior high school to raise. I’m really worried about him.”
“If there’s any news from the hospital, we’ll tell you immediately.” Seeing that Shi Man and the others had nothing else to ask, Tang Zhe politely sent him out of the office.
Yi Zheng did not say a word during Shi Man’s questioning just now. He did not interrupt her train of thought and sat calmly at the side drinking tea.
Even Shi Man admired his calmness and said angrily, “Your project has already killed someone. Why don’t you seem anxious at all?”
Yi Zheng smiled in amusement. “If being anxious is useful, why do we need the police?”
“You want to call the police?” Shi Man frowned in confusion and sighed. “I don’t know how long it will take for them to find out. The reconstruction project can’t wait. I’m afraid you would have to return the rights you obtained with great difficulty to Yi Kun.”
Yi Zheng took a sip of tea with a smile and glanced at her.
Shi Man suddenly thought of a possibility and blinked in shock. “Don’t tell me you want to fight to the death and completely eliminate the Yi family from the city?”
“Why not? My main business is not in this area. Isn’t it better to give the Yi family’s share to the Shi family?” Yi Zheng shrugged indifferently and smiled. “This is an opportunity for the Shi family.”
Of course, Shi Man knew how much the Shi family would benefit from this. Not only would participating in the city construction bring a lot of profit, but they could also accumulate goodwill among the ordinary people. It would be beneficial without any harm.
However, Yi Zheng was willing to transfer such a good opportunity to her without thinking. Shi Man could not help but be shocked. Her cold hand subconsciously tested the temperature of his forehead. “If you don’t have a fever, could this be the legendary love brain?”
Yi Zheng’s expression instantly darkened. He pulled her hand down and held it in his palm. He leaned forward and trapped her in front of him. He said in a threatening tone, “What did you say 1 am? A love brain?”
Shi Man stuck out her tongue playfully and kissed him on the lips. She coaxed him coquettishly, “I’m praising you for being good to me! Don’t misunderstand. 1 like the way you put me first in everything.”
Yi Zheng scratched the tip of her nose dotingly. “Naughty girl, this is the office. I’ll let you off first.”
He straightened up and tidied her clothes first. When the heat on her face completely dissipated, he called the person waiting outside the door in.
Tang Zhe walked into the room and tried his best to reduce his presence. Like an emotionless machine, he said sternly, “Master, Miss Shi, there’s news from the hospital that the worker who fell off the building is out of danger, but he hasn’t woken up yet.”
“It’s good that he’s not dead.” Shi Man heaved a sigh of relief.
Yi Zheng smiled and pulled her cold hand into his pocket. He smiled and said, “Let’s go. i’ll take you to eat first, then we’ll go to the hospital to take a look.” “Wait!” Shi Man still wanted to discuss with him what to do about this matter, but the man was very strong and stuffed her into the car without giving her a chance to speak.
Yi Zheng drove her back to the base without even bringing the chauffeur and Tang Zhe.
Shi Man was dumbfounded. After getting out of the car, she saw Sean with a smile on his face. She acutely reacted and turned around to glare at Yi Zheng. “Did you use my people to help you again?”
“It’s all thanks to you this time. Let’s go in and talk.” Yi Zheng brought her back to the office. A little girl in her teens was actually sitting timidly on the sofa with her bag in her arms.
When she saw someone enter, she instantly bounced up. She was so nervous that she didn’t know where to put her hands and feet. “Uncle Xiao, who are they?”
Sean smiled and quickly explained to her, “This is my boss and my boss’s fiance. They sent me over to save you..”
