Tonight, there are actually people on guard at the construction site, more than one, hiding in the shadows.

Once Shao Quan entered the construction site... they immediately called the police.

Liu Weicheng waited for the police at a distance. When they arrived, he immediately went up to them and told them about the situation at their construction site: "Recently, there have been people loitering around the construction site at night. Today, someone even entered the site. We don't know if they wanted to steal or what, so we called the police..."

The police followed Liu Weicheng and quietly entered the construction site. Sure enough, they saw someone and turned on their flashlights...

When Shao Quan encountered the police, he was momentarily stunned and stood there dumbfounded. He hesitated for a moment before trying to run away, but what he wanted to destroy was the upper part of the scaffolding, and he needed to find a hidden place to do so, so he had climbed quite high...

He scrambled down from above in a flurry, only to be caught by the police and Liu Weicheng and others.

"What are you doing at the construction site? Trying to steal something?" the policeman asked.

Before Shao Quan could speak, Liu Weicheng said, "Just now... he wasn't trying to steal anything! He was trying to sabotage our scaffolding! He was trying to murder us!"

Their construction site isn't big; the scaffolding is all made of bamboo.

Now, in some places the ropes connecting the sections have been cut.

Liu Weicheng started shouting, startling the policeman who had initially thought they were just there to arrest a thief stealing steel bars and cement from a construction site. He quickly handcuffed the man.

Shao Quan was then taken to the police station.

Because it was a major case of attempted murder, all the police officers on duty came over.

Regardless of the era, ordinary people generally dislike dealing with the government and may even be somewhat afraid of it.

Shao Quan Hui used to be extremely arrogant.

On his brother Shao Baitong's construction site, he was like a local tyrant.

Back then, if he didn't like a worker, he would go up and kick him.

Anyway, no one dares to do anything to him, so he has to put up with him for the sake of his wages.

He was also the one who resolved many of the accidents that occurred on the construction site.

He had seen people jump off buildings at construction sites before, and witnessed scenes of blood splattering everywhere.

He was a man of considerable experience, but even he couldn't help feeling flustered when he entered the police station.

As for Liu Weicheng and the others... they also seemed very restrained after entering the police station.

Then came the taking of statements.

The police station in Anshan Town is small; when giving a statement, a group of people are crammed together.

Liu Weicheng and Jiang Xiaochuan both arrived. Shao Quan pointed at Jiang Xiaochuan and said that Jiang Xiaochuan had asked him to do it, but Jiang Xiaochuan insisted that he hadn't done it—why would a perfectly good construction worker like him want someone to damage the scaffolding on his construction site?

And... he was the one who called the police!

"You framed me!" Shao Quan was furious.

Jiang Xiaochuan said, "How did we frame you? It was clearly you who had bad intentions. I was wondering why you kept asking me to drink with you the other day and asking me about things at the construction site. Turns out you were trying to harm someone!"

Although Shao Quan said he was instructed by Jiang Xiaochuan, the police who arrested him had heard Jiang Xiaochuan call the police and had personally witnessed Shao Quan's attempt to harm someone, so they did not believe Shao Quan's words.

How could an honest migrant worker like Shao Quanhu, who looks rich and has slicked-back hair, possibly do something harmful?

He detained Shao Quanhui directly.

As for the specifics... we'll definitely have to go back to work tomorrow to continue the investigation.

Liu Weicheng and Jiang Xiaochuan came out of the police station, looked at each other, and both breathed a sigh of relief.

Then I immediately called Shi Zhen.

This was Shi Zhen's request... Otherwise, it's already past midnight, and they wouldn't dare to disturb Shi Zhen.

Shi Zhen received a phone call and learned that Shao Quan had been taken to the police station, leaving him with mixed feelings.

The person who killed Shi Xinghuo in his past life was not Shao Quanhui, but an ordinary relative of Shao Baitong.

But among those who mocked and ridiculed them back then was Shao Quanhui.

This time... he'll find a way to put Shao Quan in jail, for as long as possible.

As for Shao Baitong...

Shi Zhen rubbed his temples, his eyes slowly turning cold.

Shao Baitong had already learned that he had hired some thugs from Anshan Town to cause trouble at his construction site.

Shi Zhen made a phone call to the person he had sent with Shao Baitong.

Anshan Town.

Early in the morning, a large number of people gathered in the town. Outside the market, some elderly people from the countryside set up their vegetables to sell.

The town has become increasingly lively lately.

At that moment, seven or eight young men, around seventeen or eighteen years old and sporting permed hair, yawned and met up at a breakfast shop.

It was already quite late, but these young people all looked like they hadn't slept properly. They were chatting and eating, talking about the games they had played together at the arcade the night before.

"I played for too long last night, and I exchanged all my money for game currency... Do you guys have any money left?" someone asked.

"That's all after breakfast," the others said.

"I'm out of money too."

"I kept losing yesterday!"

These people kept complaining about not having money, but after a while, they stopped caring: "Luckily, we made some money today."

They were all quite proud when they talked about it.

That person said they would give them ten thousand! Ten thousand!

So much money!

Although the man said he would give them money little by little, and pay them a sum of money for each task completed, they were still very happy.

Ten thousand yuan... how much game currency can that get you!

Just then, three people came over and started eating and chatting.

The people who came were the ones Shi Zhen had sent to accompany Shao Baitong, along with Jiang Xiaochuan and Liu Weicheng's youngest son.

"That guy went too far! He tricked us into going to the construction site to cause trouble, promising to give us money, but in the end he didn't give us a single penny!"

"Yes! We helped him fight his competitors for nothing!"

"This is infuriating!"

"Taking advantage of being from out of town, they can disappear as soon as they run away!"

...

The three of them talked and even described Shao Baitong's appearance.

The teenagers who were eating breakfast suddenly found that their breakfast no longer tasted good.

No way? That person...could they be lying to them?

“We had it all figured out. That guy is the worst off. He went to the construction site last night to tamper with things and got arrested.”

"Yes, we're actually doing alright."

The young people were even more shocked.

They finished eating quickly and went out to ask around about what happened at Shi Zhen's construction site last night.

There are no secrets in a small town, and although they were thugs, they were also locals and knew a lot of people... Soon someone told them that someone had been arrested at the construction site yesterday.

The young people's expressions changed after hearing this.

Was the guy who claimed to be the big boss lying to them? Did he just want them to work for free?

It might even get them arrested.

In Anshan Town, there really aren't any particularly notorious thugs, at least not the kind who dare to do anything truly evil. These young people usually just extort money from middle school and elementary school students, steal chickens and dogs, and then spend all night playing video games.

They wouldn't dare go to jail.

Now that someone was trying to harm them... these people immediately decided to cause trouble for Shao Baitong, at least to get their money back.

They had arranged to meet Shao Baitong at a certain place... and a group of them rushed over there in a flash.
