Tao Yuan couldn't understand why his boss had this attitude.
But thinking about it from another perspective makes sense...
He's a big boss, always the center of attention, so he probably isn't used to being ignored like this.
And so, Tao Yuan drove silently to the construction site.
After getting off the bus, he breathed in the fresh air and seemed to come back to life all at once.
The atmosphere just now was so eerie that he didn't dare to breathe.
After parking the car, Tao Yuan immediately led the way, guiding the two people into the construction site.
"Where did the accident happen?" Jiang Li asked Tao Yuan as soon as she went inside.
Tao Yuan immediately led Jiang Li over, introducing the building as they walked: "It's not far ahead. This is a building that's only half-built, just over ten meters tall."
But at that height, it's enough to kill someone from a fall.
A few days ago, no one would have imagined...
Three lives will be lost in this half-built building, which is only a dozen meters tall.
"Take me up there and have a look," Jiang Li said, staring at the place at the very top where black smoke was faintly rising.
"Um!"
The three of them went up together.
The space up there is quite spacious, and the view is also good.
"The person who jumped off the building must have jumped from here, right?" Jiang Li took a few steps forward and stood in a spot.
Tao Yuan looked over, his expression froze, and then he asked in shock, "Master, how did you know? The position you were standing in and the position where they jumped down... were exactly the same."
"Did all of them stand here and jump?" Jiang Li asked again.
Tao Yuan nodded repeatedly, "Yes!"
Having learned his lesson from past mistakes, he decided to take action.
Whether for others or for himself, he would always have cameras installed before starting a project.
After these three suicides, he reviewed the surveillance footage that showed the area many times.
I am quite certain that they all jumped from the same spot.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have thought things were so strange.
Jiang Li took two steps back from that spot, then nodded her chin at Tao Yuan, "Go stand over there."
Tao Yuan didn't understand why, but he still went over.
He stood where Jiang Li had just stood and looked down.
At first there was no reaction, but gradually...
He felt his mind growing increasingly foggy, but in an instant, it cleared up again. Before him appeared a dreamlike sea of flowers, and within that sea of flowers were piles and piles of red banknotes…
Just as he was getting excited, a gust of wind blew the banknotes to his face.
Just as he reached out to grab it, the banknotes flew forward from in front of him again.
So much money...
It would be such a shame to let him slip away like this.
Tao Yuan instinctively chased after him.
Just as he was about to grab the money, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, and his vision blurred...
When the vision became clear...
The banknotes in front of him had disappeared.
He was standing more than ten meters in the air; one step forward and he would fall.
One of his feet was already in mid-air.
Tao Yuan: "!!!"
"ah--"
Unable to hold back, Tao Yuan screamed.
The other leg, which had been standing straight, suddenly went limp.
He felt like he was about to collapse!
"Help! Master, please help me!"
"Master, I feel like I'm about to fall!"
"Master! I don't want to die! Please save me!"
"..."
Tao Yuan was truly panicked, and his mind was completely blank.
Just one glance down and he felt like he was about to fall in love with the ground.
Waaaaah...
He had so many things he hadn't done, and he died like that...
That would be such a loss!
"Alright, stop howling." Jiang Li couldn't help but pick at her ear, saying with disgust, "Even though one foot is in mid-air, the other foot is still in place, so you won't fall."
"But...but..." Tao Yuan dared not look down any further and nervously closed his eyes. "My legs are weak, I dare not move."
“Even so…” Jiang Li sighed softly, “Didn’t you realize that someone was holding your arm? Even if you’re not careful, someone will pull you down, and you won’t fall.”
Just as Tao Yuan lifted one foot to jump, Jiang Li threw out a talisman to freeze him, and Lu Shiyan, cooperating with Jiang Li, immediately stepped forward to pull Tao Yuan back, preventing a repeat of the tragic fall.
Once Lu Shiyan pulled him to a safe place, Tao Yuan no longer cared about his image or that his boss was in front of him, and he just plopped down on the ground.
He was genuinely scared.
My legs are still shaking.
He won't be able to stand up anytime soon.
"Tell me, what did you just see?" Jiang Li collected the wisp of aura she had captured onto the talisman, then looked at Tao Yuan.
Although Tao Yuan's body was not functioning well, his mind was still clear. He stammered out the scene he had just witnessed.
Jiang Li gave her a strange look. "You don't look like someone who's short of money. Is money really that attractive to you?"
"Uh..." Tao Yuan looked embarrassed. "I don't lack money, but I enjoy the feeling of making money, especially watching the amount in my account keep increasing. It gives me a great sense of accomplishment."
Jiang Li: "..."
Okay.
"So someone set up a formation at that spot?" Lu Shiyan had already figured it out. "When people walk into the formation, they will see what they yearn for in their hearts. Attracted by those things, they will move forward uncontrollably, thus creating the illusion that those workers jumped off the building to commit suicide."
Jiang Li didn't speak, but nodded slightly, agreeing with the statement.
"Do you know who has a good relationship with those workers?" Jiang Li suddenly thought of another question.
“Well…” Tao Yuan scratched his head, unsure. “I only paid attention to their work progress, not their interpersonal relationships.”
"Are all of them in charge of the construction of this building?" Jiang Li continued to ask.
Tao Yuan immediately shook his head, "No, they are in charge of other things."
"Now notify all the workers to come over." Jiang Li's expression turned serious again. "I need to meet with them."
Unless those workers are truly contemplating suicide or jumping off buildings, they would never consider going to areas outside their work area.
so……
There has to be someone who brings them here.
"yes!"
Tao Yuan responded and immediately sent a message to notify the workers to come over.
"Remember, make sure everyone comes over, no one is left out," Jiang Li solemnly reminded her again.
Tao Yuan said that all notifications would be made.
Because they work on a construction site, their homes are all very close by, only about half an hour away...
Those people had already assembled and were all here.
Jiang Li looked at each of them one by one.
Finally, she frowned and asked Tao Yuan, "Are you sure all the workers are here?"
Tao Yuan counted the number of people and nodded seriously, "Yes, all the full-time employees are here."
“Formal…” Jiang Li repeated the three words, her expression becoming even more serious, “And what about informal?”
“We don’t have any informal employees…” Tao Yuan said, then his expression suddenly changed as if he had thought of something. “Oh no! There really is one!”
