The fourth brother, Yongqiang, and Guangkun all became Lin Chen's main targets of observation. He fully activated his Insight Technique and began to observe them carefully. The fourth brother and Yongqiang were in a very peaceful state of mind, simply thinking about getting off work quickly and going home to be with their wives and children.
But Guangkun was different; his mindset was clearly different.
At this moment, Lao Si and Yongqiang had already begun to put on their safety ropes, preparing to work on the elevated structure. However, Guangkun stood still, showing no intention of putting on his safety ropes.
He grumbled inwardly, "This thing is such a burden! Making me carry this thing around, if it weren't for the fact that you're older than me, I would have argued with you already! I'm younger than these old guys, stronger, more agile, and more efficient than them, yet my salary is the same as theirs? Why? I'm not going to work hard for you!"
Guangkun casually fiddled with the safety rope. Although he appeared calm on the surface, he was anything but. Seeing this, Lao Si said to him, "Guangkun, hurry up and put on the safety rope! We're going up!"
Guangkun gave a casual "hmm" and reluctantly put on the safety rope. However, he fastened the rope very carelessly, leaving several buckles unfastened.
At that moment, the major safety accident reported in the newspaper resurfaced in Lin Chen's mind. He clearly remembered that a serious problem later occurred at the construction site where Wang Nanshan worked, resulting in the death of a worker.
The family members came to cause trouble, resulting in Wang Nanshan losing a lot of money and accumulating heavy debts. His dream of rebuilding the welfare home was also completely shattered. Lin Chen hadn't been able to remember who the worker who had the accident was, but now, looking at Guang Kun's appearance, he had the answer in his heart.
That guy with the receding hairline, who was extremely dissatisfied with himself and Wang Nanshan and spoke rudely, must be the worker who had the accident! He must have fallen off the scaffold because the safety rope wasn't fastened properly, and was smashed to pieces!
Because of his own actions, Wang Nanshan was ruined for life! Indirectly, his imprisonment caused Wang Nanshan to become even more mentally and physically exhausted, which ultimately led to Wang Nanshan's sudden illness and early death!
Thinking of this, Lin Chen felt a surge of anger. He watched Guang Kun slowly adjusting the safety rope, his anxiety growing. Finally, just as Guang Kun began to walk away, Lin Chen stopped him. Or rather, he held him down.
Guangkun felt the hand on his shoulder. Although it was only one hand, it made him feel as if his entire shoulder was completely immobilized, unable to move an inch. And soon after, the hand gradually increased its strength, making him feel as if his shoulder was about to break. The pain caused his whole body to tense to the limit.
"What do you want? You brat, let go of me!" Guang Kun turned his head and saw that the hand belonged to Lin Chen, and he was immediately very unhappy. He thought that Lin Chen wanted to take this opportunity to retaliate against him.
However, Guang Kun was no pushover before; he had been to the police station before for fighting, so he wasn't afraid.
However, just as he was about to curse Lin Chen, the strength of the hand on his shoulder prevented him from making any rash moves. At this moment, Lin Chen released him, pointed to the safety rope on his body, and said, "Nothing else, I just noticed that your safety rope wasn't fastened properly, so I wanted to tell you."
Without waiting for Guangkun's reply, Lin Chen secured the safety rope for him himself. Just to be safe, Lin Chen tied two knots at the back of the rope. It would be impossible to untie without help.
"I think you're just looking for trouble, aren't you? Want to fight?" Guangkun was so frustrated by these two deadlocks that he couldn't hold back any longer and blurted out a curse.
However, Lin Chen was not intimidated at all. Instead, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'm ready to fight anytime! But we'll have to wait until you're safe."
Although Guangkun was seething with anger, he could only manage to utter one word: "You..." Lin Chen knew this guy was no match for him, but he didn't care. Compared to a human life, this was truly a trivial matter.
Of course, although he had already confirmed in his mind that this person should be the protagonist of the incident, just to be on the safe side, Lin Chen still kept track of their construction progress from below the overpass in real time and observed their psychological changes.
Fortunately, everything turned out alright, and two hours passed in the blink of an eye. With everything on the elevated road finished, it meant that Wang Nanshan's work on the construction site was almost complete.
Seeing that all three of them had safely descended from the overpass, Lin Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, the worry in his heart did not completely dissipate. This tragedy didn't happen today, but what if it had happened tomorrow? Or even later?
Rushing to change the course of history could very well lead to even more serious consequences than before.
Therefore, during dinner in the evening, Lin Chen couldn't help but ask Wang Nanshan about the construction progress for tomorrow: "Uncle Nan, will anyone be working on the elevated road tomorrow?"
"No, tomorrow's line is underground, it doesn't need to go over the elevated road. And after it's finished, I can go home. Why are you asking this?" Wang Nanshan looked at Lin Chen with some confusion.
"Uncle Nan, has Guangkun been working for you for a long time?" Lin Chen asked tentatively.
"You brat, what Guangkun? You should call him Uncle Guangkun! You have no respect for elders! Why do you keep asking about things that have nothing to do with you?" Wang Nanshan said with some dissatisfaction.
"How could it be unrelated? That guy is obviously a troublemaker, always going against you and mocking me all the time. I've disliked him for a long time." Lin Chen simply couldn't bring himself to call Guang Kun "uncle."
