Last night, Shao Baitong waited for Shao Quanhui at a place far away from the construction site.

He was initially very excited and couldn't help but start fantasizing about what would happen if something happened at Shi Zhen's construction site.

Shi Zhen spoke so highly of his company, but a safety accident occurred, and afterwards, some people even caused trouble...

His company is probably in trouble!

Shao Baitong fantasized for a long time, getting more and more excited, and then realized something was wrong—why hadn't Shao Quan returned yet?

What's wrong with this person?

Shao Baitong initially thought that Shao Quan's failure to return was due to his slow pace or that he had finished his business and gone to do something else.

But Shao Quan didn't come back... so he realized something was wrong.

Shao Baitong had previously rented a house in town. He returned to his own house, feeling a bit anxious.

If Shao Quan gets into trouble and is arrested...

It shouldn't be anything serious, anyway... it won't affect him!

Despite this thought, Shao Baitong was still uneasy. After thinking it over, he decided to wait until dawn when the thugs came over and ask them to help him find out.

Shao Baitong was anxious all night, and finally, there was a knock on the door of his rented house.

"Who is it?" Shao Baitong asked.

"It's us." A familiar voice rang out.

It was those thugs... Shao Baitong opened the door, and then seven or eight thugs swarmed in.

Upon seeing Shao Baitong, these people looked him up and down, and the more they looked, the more they felt that he was not a good person.

Shao Baitong was a little displeased by their stares, but he still said, "You're here... Could you please help me find out if something happened at Shi Zhen's construction site last night?"

"Someone got arrested at that construction site yesterday," said the leader of the thugs.

Shao Baitong's expression changed.

Shao Quan, that good-for-nothing who's more of a hindrance than a help, has actually been arrested!

So what should he do now?

Seeing that Shao Baitong remained silent, the leader said, "Hey, shouldn't you give us some money?"

"What kind of money?" Shao Baitong asked.

"You asked us to gather information, and I gave it to you, shouldn't you pay me?" the leader looked at Shao Baitong. "And when you ask us to do something, shouldn't you also give us a deposit?"

This person had told them a lot beforehand, instructing them to cause trouble at the construction site today, but he hadn't given them a single penny!

These thugs just want money right now.

Shao Baitong was a man who... loved money very much.

He can spend the money he earns on himself, but he is unwilling to let others spend it.

If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have refused to pay compensation when the accident happened at his construction site before.

If he had given compensation, none of this would have happened.

But deep down, he was very resistant to giving money to others. For example, he would delay paying his workers' wages until he could not delay any longer before he was willing to pay them.

Although he had promised these thugs a lot of money before, he didn't want to give them the money unless absolutely necessary.

Especially now, these people haven't helped him with any work at all!

"Didn't I tell you to go cause trouble at Baishi Construction's construction site? I'll pay you after you've done it." Shao Baitong didn't really take these thugs seriously.

When these thugs heard him say that, they immediately thought of what the three men in the breakfast shop had said.

This guy in front of them is probably lying to them and trying to scam them!

That's outrageous!

"You don't want to pay, do you?"

"People have already been arrested at that construction site, and you still want us to cause trouble? What are you up to?"

"Are you trying to get us to cause trouble, get arrested, and then you can avoid paying?"

...

The more these thugs thought about it, the more convinced they became that this was indeed the case.

That person is awful!

These thugs thought Shao Baitong was no good person, but in reality, they were no better themselves.

They got into many fights in town, and made many elementary and middle school students cry. They also did all sorts of dirty things, such as stealing from elderly people living alone.

Moreover, they are at an age where they are prone to impulsiveness.

Shao Baitong actually wanted to trick them... so they immediately attacked Shao Baitong.

This guy looks like a big boss; he must have a lot of money on him!

If he won't give it to them, why don't they just take it from us?

Shao Baitong was indeed quite wealthy.

Although banks offer bank cards, these contractors still prefer to carry a lot of cash with them for gift-giving and other purposes.

Shao Baitong had more than 10,000 yuan with him.

That's over ten thousand.

He treated many people to a meal in Changxi City, but it didn't cost this much money... Of course, Shao Baitong couldn't stand being robbed, so he immediately fought back.

When he resisted, the thugs grabbed him and beat him up.

Shao Baitong had been a big boss for many years, and he had never been beaten like this before. He immediately started yelling and shouting "Help!"

His shouting only fueled the anger of the thugs, who then grabbed him and started hitting him again: "You dare to shout! You cheated us and you still dare to shout..."

"What are you doing? Stop it!" a loud shout rang out.

"Mind your own business!" one of the thugs shouted, glancing outside as he did so—they hadn't closed the door after entering Shao Baitong's place.

Upon seeing this, the thug was dumbfounded—there were several police officers at the door.

"Police! Stop!" the officer who had spoken earlier shouted again.

This policeman felt that he had been having bad luck these past two days.

He was on duty last night when he received a call to the police. He went to the construction site and arrested someone, but it turned out to be a major case of attempted murder, which kept him up all night.

After staying up all night, it was finally time to get off work. He invited some colleagues to eat noodles, planning to go home and sleep afterward, when he encountered a group fight.

Well, they can't go home to sleep now, so we definitely have to take this group of people to the police station first!

They immediately grabbed the thugs, yelling, "It's you again! Causing trouble again! Can't you behave yourselves?"

These bastards are a bunch of idiots, and this isn't the first time we've dealt with them. They're really annoying.

Arrest them... They're not very old, and what they did wasn't serious. They can usually be educated, fined a little, and that'll be it.

If we don't arrest them... we can't just let them beat people up!

That's not all; every time someone is arrested, their parents come to the police station to cause trouble.

But this time… when the policeman saw Shao Baitong's appearance, he gasped and said, “You’ve gone too far this time, haven’t you? Look at the state you’ve left him in!”

Shao Baitong's face was bruised and swollen, looking particularly pitiful, and he was still groaning.

The teenagers were a little scared when they saw the police, and quickly said, "He's a bad guy, we're doing this on behalf of God... He told us to go to a construction site and cause trouble!"

The police officers were taken aback for a moment, then immediately took everyone back.

The police station was crowded during the day. When they returned, they saw their colleagues chatting while packing up their things: "This person is so pitiful, he didn't even have a leg."

"Tsk tsk, those unscrupulous contractors are going too far!"

"Fortunately, our local Whitestone Construction is a conscientious company."

...

When the police appeared and the teenagers said he was a bad guy, Shao Baitong's heart skipped a beat.

If people find out that he caused trouble for Shi Zhen at the construction site... it will be bad for him.

But he can't escape now.

However, Shao Quan was arrested last night, so Shi Zhen's construction site will definitely be fine. Even if he is taken to the police station, it won't matter.

Shao Baitong arrived at the police station, only to hear the police officers praising Baishi Construction.

What's going on here?!

Why is this Baishi Construction company everywhere?!

There's a reason these police officers praised Baishi Construction... Hong Zhiqi was interviewed yesterday and is in the newspaper today.

The newspaper also mentioned that the incident first appeared online.

Although computers were still very expensive at that time, there were still some in the police station, and then someone went online to look it up and read that post.

Upon closer inspection, everyone felt that the contractor who had harmed Hong Zhiqi was truly despicable.

By the way, what was this contractor's name again?

The newspaper didn't mention his name, but it's online; I think it's Shao Baitong?

Upon seeing Shao Baitong and his group enter, the police officers who were chatting inside immediately said to their colleagues who had returned after get off work, "These people were fighting, and you stumbled upon them?"

"Come on, come on, let's take a statement."

"This is a pretty serious injury, should we go to the hospital?"

...

As they were talking, someone asked Shao Baitong, "What's your name?"

Shao Baitong had no idea about what was going on online, nor did he intend to hide his name: "Shao Baitong".

The police officers instinctively glanced at the newspaper on the table—the name was all too familiar!

At this moment, the boys said, "We really didn't mean to hit anyone this time!"

"He told us to sabotage the construction site of Baishi Construction, that's why we attacked him!"

"We are all good people, and we can't stand him bullying us like this!"

...

As these teenagers talked, they began to believe their own words.

Yes, they are acting on behalf of God, not to rob money!

The police officers' expressions turned serious, and they looked back at the newspaper.

The newspaper reports were relatively positive, mentioning that after Hong Zhiqi's story was recently exposed online, Baishi Construction helped him by not only installing a prosthetic leg for him free of charge but also giving him a job.

Even Baishi Construction allocated a sum of money specifically to help people like Hong Zhiqi.

Whitestone Construction is a good company!

As a result, last night, someone went to the Baishi Construction site to damage the scaffolding, not only trying to harm people, but Shao Baitong also tried to bribe thugs to cause trouble at the Baishi Construction site.

How can there be such a person in this world!

Originally, people didn't pay much attention to what happened last night, or to Shao Baitong being beaten today, but now that it's in the news...

This is something we absolutely must take seriously!

Shao Baitong didn't even have handcuffs before, but now someone jumped up and immediately handcuffed him.

This is a vicious criminal!
