Chapter 133 Where did the mole go? Cat and mouse game.
There were already large cranes on the construction site, and since Cao Yingshan came to check on the work progress today, the crane operators did not go home.
So after only about five minutes, the driver carefully lowered the people off the scaffolding using the crane.
"call!"
As if they had survived a disaster, everyone, including the person involved, breathed a sigh of relief.
Even though it was completely dark, the cold sweat on the man's face was still clearly visible under the surrounding lights.
"Are you okay?"
"Oh my god! That scared me to death! Who was the idiot who put this safety rope there?! It's more than half broken and they still used it!"
"Damn it! If I find out who did this, I'll kill him!"
"This is murder!"
Upon seeing the man rescued, the construction workers gathered around him, comforting him and alleviating his fear.
"Who gave you the safety rope before you went up?" Jiang Chengcheng asked, frowning as she watched the person recover.
She didn't think that middle-aged man could accomplish this alone. Not to mention how he could be sure that Cao Yingshan would be able to get across, even if he did, how could he guarantee that the scaffolding would collapse at that time?
"Old Yang gave it to me. I saw the boss had already arrived, so I rushed up and didn't check it." The man, still shaken, glanced into the crowd upon hearing this.
"Huh? That's strange. Where's Old Yang? I just saw him."
The group searched for Lao Yang in the darkness by the light of the lamps, but the surroundings were chaotic and it was too dark to find someone easily.
Upon hearing the man's reply, Jiang Chengcheng knew that the middle-aged man's inside man was probably this Old Yang.
"Uncle, where was that person taken?" Jiang Chengcheng realized that Old Yang was the key to this! She absolutely couldn't let him escape, so she quickly asked.
"In the security room, I was afraid he would cause trouble again, so I had him locked up," Cao Yingshan replied, pointing in a direction.
Jiang Chengcheng looked up and saw a makeshift security room that didn't look very tidy. She stepped inside and saw the middle-aged man curled up on the ground.
Upon seeing Jiang Chengcheng enter, he let out a series of wailing cries, pleading with the people behind him to let him go.
Because it was built hastily for short-term use, the ground was somewhat neglected, and the surrounding land was full of potholes.
"Did the Wang family give you money? Is Old Yang your mole?" Jiang Chengcheng looked down at the man, trying to find a flaw in his ferocious eyes, but the man had learned his lesson and dared not look directly at Jiang Chengcheng again.
"What! The manager orchestrated this?"
"Damn it! So it was you, you heartless bastard! You don't even spare your own men!"
"Pah! What a piece of junk! I always thought he looked like a thief! I never imagined he'd be so bold!"
"Absolutely! A real human life! If something really happened to him, wouldn't he be afraid that the whole family would kill him!"
"Why are you talking so much nonsense! Hit him!"
"Hit him!"
As soon as everyone entered, they saw the project manager tied up, along with what Jiang Chengcheng said.
What else is there that you don't understand!
It's unclear who started it, but everyone, their faces flushed, surged forward, and fists the size of sandbags rained down on them.
"Waaah!! Waaah!" Because his mouth was sealed with tape, the man could only curl up on the ground and wail, unable to even beg for mercy.
Seeing that the middle-aged man had also been taught a lesson, and that he would probably faint if the beating continued, Jiang Chengcheng quickly stepped forward to stop him.
"Alright! Let him tell us where Lao Yang is first, otherwise it's not worth losing one person." Jiang Chengcheng quickly stepped forward to stop everyone's actions.
Once everyone had calmed down, she slowly approached the middle-aged man. By this time, the man's face was swollen beyond recognition from the beating, and several of his teeth had been knocked out.
If it weren't for his slightly slurred mouth as he mumbled and begged for mercy, Jiang Chengcheng would have thought this was a scene from a horror movie!
"Grandma! Oh my god! Oh my god, look at me!! Oh my god!" The middle-aged man cried as he looked at Jiang Chengcheng in front of him.
It took Jiang Chengcheng a while to process what the other person was saying: "Please forgive me! I'll never do it again! I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"
"Straighten your tongue before you speak. Tell me where Old Yang is, or I won't mind if they continue." Jiang Chengcheng knelt in front of the middle-aged man, her hands supporting her knees, showing no sympathy whatsoever for his current miserable state.
This guy deserved it! He used human lives to set up a scheme; what did he take people for? Livestock to be slaughtered at will?
"Gui ga! Gui ga!" the man said, his mouth slurring.
"What nonsense are you spouting! I think he's just asking for a beating! Let me slap him two more times and he'll shut up!"
"That's right! My hands itch to touch him!"
Seeing that the middle-aged man's mouth was lisp and he couldn't explain himself clearly, several hot-tempered men started to threaten him.
"Bah! Bah!" The middle-aged man seemed to be terrified of being beaten, and quickly curled up and shrank back.
Jiang Chengcheng looked at the middle-aged man's garbled speech and realized she probably wouldn't get any information out of him, so she simply stepped forward and grabbed his clothes, silently reciting the activation of the Eye of Reincarnation.
Scene changes.
It was still the security room.
Not long after the middle-aged man was tied up, another thin man sneaked in while everyone was busy with the rescue.
"Waaah!!" The middle-aged man was extremely excited when he saw the person who came. He moved closer to the person with his body arched, indicating that he should help him untie the rope.
The man had also squatted down, intending to help untie the knot, but suddenly a series of footsteps came from not far outside the door, getting closer and closer, almost about to enter.
The man, unable to help the middle-aged man, quickly hid in the cabinet next to him.
The people who came in were security guards, sent by Cao Yingshan to keep an eye on the project manager. Not long after, Jiang Chengcheng and the others also arrived.
After the scene in the illusion finished playing, Jiang Chengcheng returned to reality, sneered, and looked at the cabinet in front of her.
It turned out the middle-aged man was muttering about the cabinet.
“Uncle, I think the cabinet looks too old. Why don’t we have someone burn it down? Otherwise, there might be rats hiding inside, which would be quite creepy if they came out.” Jiang Chengcheng winked at Cao Yingshan and said seriously.
"It's a bit old, so I'll listen to you and burn it to replace it with a new one. You guys go find a lock so the rats inside won't escape when we burn it!" Cao Yingshan quickly realized, seeing the teasing look on Jiang Chengcheng's face as she looked at the cabinet, that the rats were there!
Now that he knew the other party's location, he was no longer in a hurry. Instead, he teamed up with Jiang Chengcheng to tease and scare the rats inside.
