Lin Xiao and his four companions went to get lunch boxes from Manager Zhou, and then they waited in line before they could get their meals.
It was almost half past twelve when they had their meal.
"Damn it! I have to go to work at one o'clock. I might as well be like Mengzi and get a minor injury so I don't have to go to work in the afternoon."
"Hmm...hmm...these dishes and steamed buns are really delicious. The chef at this construction site is really skilled!"
"Brother Lin, the food at this construction site is really good. There are steamed buns and meat. It's better than what we eat at Brother Tian's place! Why don't we just hang out here from now on!"
Lin Xiao's three men were chattering while chewing steamed buns, just like a few women in the village eating melon seeds and chatting.
"Did you see the big guy in front of me when we were getting our meals? I saw him staring at us with ill intentions."
Lin Xiao said as he took a big bite of the steamed bun.
"Really? I don't know. Just look at it! Maybe it's because we are handsome!"
"Don't you know what you look like? And you're handsome!"
Lin Xiao really couldn't listen anymore, so he tapped the narcissistic subordinate with his chopsticks and continued, "I think he looks a bit like the one Brother Tian sent to hunt us down?"
"No way! Is Brother Tian so powerful? He can find us even though we are hiding here?"
"Brother Lin, what should we do? If Brother Tian knew we were here, he would definitely try to kill us."
"Why are you panicking? I'm just saying there's a possibility, not that person. Wait a minute, Shanmao and Dongzi, you two will follow the main group to the construction site to work. I'll pretend to have a stomachache and see if I can find my way to the Lanshan Villa District to investigate."
Lin Xiao finished the steamed buns and vegetables in no time. Maybe it was because he had been hiding from place to place and hadn't eaten enough in the past few days, but Lin Xiao felt that the meal was so delicious.
When several subordinates heard their boss' plan, they all felt it made perfect sense. He was indeed their boss and his brain worked better than theirs.
Seeing that Shanmao and Dongzi were still eating with gusto, Lin Xiao stuffed the empty lunch box in his hand into Mengzi's hand and said, "Let's wash them together later. I'm going to go out and ask for leave from Manager Zhou."
On Chen Da's side, everyone had finished their lunch.
"Today we actually have meat. It's a rare occasion that the construction site is so generous. It's a pity that each person was only given two steamed buns. Otherwise, I would have been able to eat five steamed buns with today's dishes."
"With only five steamed buns for one meal, you can bankrupt the construction site! Hahaha!"
Wang Gang took the lunch boxes of Chen Da and Lao Li and planned to wash them in the mountain spring water.
"I'm just saying. Do you think the construction site is stupid enough to give me five? Gangzi, don't walk so fast. Wait for me!"
Xiaojun chased out with his clean lunch box. Chen Da and Lao Li watched the two young men playing and fighting, and they didn't feel the pain from the wounds on their bodies anymore.
When Lin Xiao was about to reach Manager Zhou, he went to the mountain spring to wash his face and deliberately wet the hair on his forehead, making him look like he was sweating profusely due to a stomachache.
Lin Xiao studied his facial expressions as he walked. He tried his best to act in pain. Just as he was grimacing, Wang Gang and Xiaojun happened to pass by him while chasing each other with lunch boxes.
"Brother Tian's people?"
Lin Xiao and Xiaojun both felt a jolt in their hearts, as they actually mistook the other for Brother Tian's subordinate.
Xiaojun didn't even dare to turn his head. He followed Wang Gang to quickly wash the lunch box and hurried back to the dormitory to tell Chen Da and Lao Li about it.
"Oh? There is such a thing?" Chen Da also knew Brother Tian. They had fought with his men on the 20th floor before.
"This is our official base. How dare those hooligans come in and cause trouble? They are so bold!"
Old Li's eyes widened in disbelief. "Xiaojun, you must be overthinking it. Which gangster would dare to challenge the government? Aren't you tired of living? Are you suffering from paranoia?"
"Uncle Li, what are you talking about! Why would I have that problem? I really heard them say the words 'Brother Tian'." Xiaojun said unhappily, pouting.
"I also think what Uncle Li said is right. Xiaojun, don't be suspicious. He probably just mentioned it once. It actually has nothing to do with Brother Tian!"
Li Gang put everyone's lunch boxes on the table, made his own bed and prepared to go out to work.
Chen Da sat up from the bed, comforted Xiaojun with his eyes and said, "How about this, let's not worry about whether they are gangsters or not, just keep an eye on them when you go to work this afternoon. Let's just follow the saying, don't have the intention to harm others, but be on guard against others."
"Let's observe first. If these people really do anything to harm the base, we will report it to Manager Zhou. If not, that's the best. We can all work together in harmony in the future."
"Okay! I'll listen to Uncle Chen!" After listening to what Chen Da said, Xiaojun put aside his worries and went to work with Wang Gang.
Lin Xiao successfully asked for leave from Manager Zhou, but Shanmao and Dongzi were a little reluctant to go out to work. They were also wondering whether they should pretend to be sick like the boss and get by one day at a time.
"Pretend to be sick, do you two want to be kicked out of the base? If we all pretend to be sick, how can they accept us? Go to work well this afternoon, and keep an eye on the kid next door."
After being scolded by Lin Xiao, the two subordinates did not dare to complain. When the time came, they went up the mountain to work with everyone else.
Because Mengzi had a back injury, Lin Xiao originally wanted him to lie down in the dormitory to rest. However, Mengzi liked to run around. He couldn't do it if you asked him to work on the construction site, but he was very happy to jump around like a monkey.
So when he heard his eldest brother say that he was going to the Arashiyama villa area, how could he not follow him?
It is said that the Lanshan Villa District is the richest place in Lingcheng. If they could live there, wouldn't it bring honor to the family?
"Why are you still standing there? If you want to come out with me, then hurry up!"
Seeing Mengzi grinning foolishly, Lin Xiao thought he was suffering from hysteria.
"Okay! Brother Lin, I'll be right there!"
In the construction site dormitory at the foot of the mountain, Manager Zhou took everyone else to work. Li Zheng also took a lot of protective clothing and followed them to the construction site.
He must not make the same mistake again this time. He must not lock his container and issue each worker a protective suit so that they can carry it with them every day. This way, they will not be afraid even if it rains acid.
There will be no more incidents of scrambling for protective clothing like that in the morning.
The only people left in the dormitory were two cooks preparing dinner and a few workers who were injured in the morning.
Lin Xiao sneaked out of his container with Mengzi, and was seen by Chen Da who got up to drink water through the window.
"There really is something wrong with these people? They are not injured and they are not going to work on the construction site. What are they trying to do by sneaking around now?"
