Who is in Chapter 65?!

[Ding! Friendly reminder: Task completion rate 50%.]

[Please keep up the good work, host, and do your best to complete the mission.]

Hearing the cold, mechanical voice suddenly echo in her mind, Zhong Wan was startled.

Task completion rate 50%?

What's going on? She doesn't even know where to start with the mission yet.

Could it be that the broadcast about drawing ghosts this morning was delayed?

[...]

【no. 】

[Hint: The task involves Old Zhang, but it's not actually Old Zhang.]

Zhong Wan was instantly filled with question marks.

She quickly turned around and found Lin Yan'an. Looking at Zhong Suisui still nestled in his pocket, she asked herself in confusion, "You're not Suisui, who are you?"

There are countless rules in this world, and I am one of them.

The mission is to find Old Zhang, but there are countless "Old Zhangs" in the world.

What's the difference between the person in front of you and Old Zhang? They're both risking their lives for money.

Yes, Lao Zhang is not just Lao Zhang, but also a microcosm of millions of ordinary people.

Zhong Wan silently walked to Lin Yan'an's side, reached out and took his hand.

Feeling his warmth, I tried my best to draw strength from him.

She was lucky; a miracle happened.

But their lives did not experience a miracle...

"Let me go! What right do you have to arrest me!"

Zhou Liren's irritable and angry voice rang out, interrupting Zhong Wan's thoughts. She quickly turned around to look.

Watching Zhou Liren being escorted out of the office building by two law enforcement officers in the distance, watching him struggle helplessly in panic...

The law enforcement officer holding him, expressionless, shouted angrily, "Behave yourself!"

“Someone has presented evidence and filed a formal complaint against your mine for illegal production, tax evasion, and bribery. Tell me, why should we arrest you?”

Upon hearing the law enforcement officers' words, the surrounding crowd instantly became lively.

"Karma, it really is karma,"

"Zhou Bapi, you've finally met your match! Heaven has finally opened its eyes!"

"You heartless beast, you have such a pitiful son..."

"Sigh, I'm really unemployed now..."

"We haven't received our salaries for this year yet, and we don't know if we'll ever get them back..."

Hearing the angry curses and insults around him, feeling the cold warmth of the handcuffs on his wrists, and seeing the police car not far away...

Zhou Liren trembled violently, his face instantly turning pale. His lips quivered as he stubbornly insisted, "No, I didn't!"

"Who?! Who reported it?!"

Zhou Liren looked around at the workers with a panicked and angry expression. When he saw Zhong Wan and Lin Yan'an, his eyes widened instantly, and his fear was replaced by resentment.

He struggled violently, his eyes bloodshot, staring intently in Zhong Wan's direction, at Lin Yan'an's calm eyes, and at the glaring smiles on He Liqun and He Lixin's faces. He broke down instantly, roaring, "It's you! It's you guys, isn't it!"

"He Liqun, He Lixin! And He Qilan's daughter and son-in-law, right? It's you, isn't it?!"

"I knew it! I knew it was you bastards from the He family who were pulling my strings behind my back! You'll all die a horrible death! You..."

"Shut up! Behave yourself!"

The stern shouts of law enforcement officers interrupted Zhou Liren's foul language, but the surrounding crowd only became more agitated.

"The He family?!"

"He Qilan's daughter and son-in-law?! Who is he?!"

"Oh my, I heard that the He family fired three people yesterday. He Liqun, the third-in-command of our mine, even resigned. Do you think they might have done it?!"

"No way? Most of us workers are from the same village, and we're all related to each other to some extent. They wouldn't be so ruthless, would they?"

"That's hard to say."

"Hey, isn't that girl next to He Liqun He Qilan's daughter?"

"Really? She does look a bit like Sister He, but I can't believe it. Sister He is such an honest person, how come her daughter is like this?"

"Shut up! We, the He family, aren't that despicable! We're all quitting, so what does it matter to us whether this lousy mine goes out of business or not?!"

Hearing the whispers around him, He Liqun turned his head, looked around coldly, and said sternly, "We members of the He family dare to take responsibility for our actions. If we didn't do it, don't try to frame us!"

He Lixin chimed in, "That's right! My uncle is the village party secretary! So many people are suddenly unemployed! Aren't we just creating trouble for our families? We're not that stupid!"

Who is that?

He Lixin rolled his eyes speechlessly: "How would I know?"

"It's me."

Suddenly, a somber, trembling yet excited voice rang out.

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly followed the sound.

His hands were clenched tightly, his eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at Zhou Liren with eyes as sharp as knives, saying each word clearly: "I'm the one who reported you!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Liren's eyes widened as he glared at the newcomer, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Zhang! Ming! Yuan!"

"It's me!"

"Why! Your family has already received compensation, why are you still reporting me?!"

Zhang Mingyue laughed, her expression somewhat manic: "Haha, why? You're asking me why?"

He reached into his pocket and pulled out a notebook, holding it up with trembling hands. His voice was choked with emotion as he said, "How many years has my father worked for you at your mine?! How many times did he report equipment problems to you?"

"But what about you? Not only did you not listen, you also insulted and cursed him!"

"It led to my father being brutally killed by your heartless machines! Buried under the mine! I didn't even get to see him one last time!"

"But not only did you fail to find him in time, you even tried to silence us with money! If it weren't for these uncles and aunts insisting, I wouldn't have even seen my father's body!"

"In the end, they dug the person out, but the face was unrecognizable, and even the body was incomplete!"

"You tell me why I reported you?! This evidence is my father's work diary from over the years, and even more so, evidence of your disregard for human life!"

"Zhou Liren! You truly deserve your fate!!! You must die!"

"You heartless capitalists deserve to die!"

At this point, Zhang Mingyuan, panting heavily, glared at him fiercely and continued, "You should be glad that murder is illegal! You should be even more glad! Glad that my dad wanted me to be a kind person..."

"Otherwise, I really want to..."

He hadn't finished speaking, but everyone understood his unspoken meaning.

The surrounding workers looked at his thin, frail body and his face, which resembled Old Zhang's.

Watching Zhou Liren being pushed into the car by law enforcement officers like a lump of mud, and watching the car slowly drive away...

After a moment of silence, applause erupted from the crowd.

The once taciturn boy stood up for his father.

At that moment, even knowing he was facing the prospect of unemployment, I couldn't help but applaud him.

Simply because they admired his filial piety and respected his courage.
