A look of relief appeared on Lu Yuan's face. He knew that these golden fruits had already played a very good role. As long as the external injuries were treated and the bones were set, there would be basically no problem for these people to come back to life.

He gently helped the people who had knelt down to their feet. Lu Yuan glanced at them and said, "Don't worry, you are all my people. I will not stand by and watch you die. From now on, you just need to do your jobs well. There is no need to say anything else. Moreover, I hereby stipulate that no one is allowed to kneel in this camp anymore. I am not a feudal tyrant!"

After these words were spoken, everyone in the room was immediately moved to tears.

Wang Laosi's hands trembled with excitement as he tried to kneel, but he couldn't. His face paled in surprise, and he suddenly remembered something. So he ran over to Lu Yuan and said loudly, "President Lu, I know! I remembered something!"

Lu Yuan was somewhat surprised after hearing this, and he quickly pulled Wang Laosi aside and said, "What exactly happened? Tell me clearly!"

Wang Laosi swallowed angrily and said, "Last night, some of our people came over for dinner. Liu Lao Er outside said he thought he saw a few big black rats scurrying in, but he couldn't see them clearly because of the overcast and foggy weather. So I'm wondering if someone else came to cause trouble!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan suddenly remembered something and quickly said to Wang Laosi, "Damn it! Why didn't you tell me this sooner? Where's Liu Laoer? Tell him to come over right now!"

A thin, middle-aged man stepped out from the crowd, raised his hands, and said, "It is me, it is Liu Lao Er. Last night during dinner, I did see a few people sneaking into the camp. At the time, I thought I was seeing things and didn't say much. I just told Wang Lao Si. Later, we specifically checked all the equipment and didn't find any problems."

After a moment of silence, Lu Yuan pointed at the crowd and said, "Come with me to the coal mine. I want to see exactly where the problem occurred, and whether all the evidence is still there."

"Everyone's here, everyone's here. I left over a dozen men at the camp to keep watch, just in case anything else happens!"

Lu Yuan nodded, waved his hand, and led a group of people rushing towards the coal mine.

Upon arriving at the coal mine, Lu Yuanyuan could see the No. 3 mine shaft, which had already exploded and was still emitting thick smoke. The entire shaft had completely collapsed, and there were many signs of human searching. It was clear that when they dug these people out of the ground, they had taken out some personal equipment that had been scattered on the ground and carelessly thrown on the ground.

Lu Yuan frowned, picked up a miner's lamp, and examined it briefly. He didn't find anything wrong with it. Although the lamp was damaged by rubble, he could still see some things inside.

Lu Yuan then shouted at the crowd, "Take everything out of here! I want to see exactly what happened. This matter can't be left like this. If it really was your negligence, Wang Laosi, I'll kill you right now!"

With a resolute look on his face, Wang Laosi led everyone to start searching. Later, with everyone's busy work, all kinds of rubble were dug out from the mine, and all kinds of personal items scattered in it, such as lamps and shovels, were also dug out.

Suddenly, a young man, who looked to be in his early twenties, wiped the sweat from his forehead and pulled a broken lamp out of the rubble. However, he seemed a little stunned when he held the lamp.

"This lamp doesn't look like ours."

After the young man said that, everyone immediately gathered around. He was holding a small light bulb in his hand. This unremarkable light bulb had a broken lampshade, but the bulb itself was still intact.

The young man wiped some marks off the light bulb with his hand, then pointed to some markings on it and said, "Our factory uses cold fluorescent lamps, but this one looks like an incandescent bulb. Although the bulbs are somewhat similar, you can see that the markings are different!"

After saying that, Wang Laosi quickly snatched the light bulb away, examined it in his hand, and then froze on the spot before handing it to Lu Yuan.

“It’s not ours, this light bulb isn’t ours, someone must be framing us. When I purchased this batch of lights, I made strict demands to the manufacturer that the light bulbs must be cold light bulbs, and this light bulb is definitely not ours. I’d stake my life on that!”

Lu Yuan took the light bulb with a solemn expression, and after looking at the markings on it, he found that they were different from those on the other light bulbs.

"Damn it, what the hell is going on? How dare they scheme against us? They're asking for it!"

Lu Yuan angrily shoved the light bulb into his pocket, then looked around but didn't find anything else. Suddenly, a bad thought popped into his mind: a few days ago, when Sun Tao brought people to cause trouble, he told them to get lost. The other party even said something like "see you later." Could it be that these little tricks were all done by them?

Lu Yuan then looked at everyone and said, "Don't tell anyone about this. Don't tell any of the new team members. Keep it a secret. If anyone asks if our people are dead, just say they are. Do you understand?"
