Looking at the man's fierce appearance, Li Ruo knew that this guy was probably not easy to deal with.
But she remained calm and nodded: "Yes, I am Li Ruo, the boss of the company behind this project..."
No sooner had she finished speaking than a disheveled woman with a crazed expression rushed out from behind the crowd.
With red eyes, the other person reached out and grabbed Li Ruo's neck with both hands.
Sensing danger, Li Ruo immediately took a step back.
Fortunately, the project manager reacted quickly and stopped the person immediately.
Even so, the woman still refused to give up, glaring at Li Ruo through gritted teeth, her voice extremely shrill: "You heartless bosses, give me back my husband, give me back my husband, waaaah..."
Seeing the woman crying her heart out, Li Ruo paused, a hint of distress flashing in her eyes.
She naturally understood that if the pillar of a family was gone, it meant that the family was completely destroyed.
But who could have imagined that an accident would happen?
At this moment, the man who had spoken to Li Ruo earlier, provoked by this, also spoke up in a gruff voice: "Now that my brother is dead, what do you plan to do?"
As soon as she said this, many people around her gathered around Li Ruo, seemingly intending to solve the problem by force.
Seeing their posture, Li Ruo's heart skipped a beat, but fortunately she remained calm on the surface.
"First of all, I apologize for the employee's death, as this is primarily the responsibility of our construction site..."
"Stop with the nonsense and just tell me what to do..."
"Exactly, exactly! You're not trying to shirk responsibility and run away, are you? After all, there are plenty of heartless bosses like you who make money off migrant workers' hard-earned wages and don't care about their lives at all!"
"You're not leaving today!"
Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a cacophony of voices.
Seeing the indignant expressions of the people around her, Li Ruo's brows furrowed even more.
She took a deep breath and tried her best to reassure them: "Don't worry, let me explain. As for whether this was an accident or intentional, we will hand it over to the police. We will compensate you according to what the police say..."
"But we don't believe it. Who knows if you're in cahoots?"
"Exactly, what if you spend some money to treat the higher-ups to a meal, and then the matter is dropped? In the end, we'll be the ones to blame..."
"I don't care, you have to give me an explanation within a few days!"
As they spoke, the group lost control of their emotions and began shoving and pushing Li Ruo.
Li Ruo was already wearing high heels, and she almost fell to the ground after being pushed.
"Mr. Li, be careful!"
Seeing this, the person in charge quickly stepped in to help her up.
Noticing his worry, Li Ruo shook her head slightly. Just as she was about to speak, several leaders at the construction site were punched several times.
Driven by anger, these people had completely lost their anger and only wanted to vent their resentment.
Unexpectedly, the situation had spiraled out of control. Li Ruo's face was extremely pale: "Stop fighting! Listen to me..."
Unfortunately, people are too emotional to listen to reason at this moment.
"you……"
Stumbling a few steps from being jostled by the crowd, Li Ruo subconsciously frowned.
At that moment, the woman who had been acting crazy seemed to fix her gaze on her: "Go to hell!"
As she spoke, she raised her hand high and struck Li Ruo hard.
"ah!"
As the hand drew ever closer, Li Ruo's eyes widened, and she hurriedly tried to back away.
In the chaos, their escape route was blocked.
Damn it!
She cursed under her breath and was about to block when a large hand reached out from the crowd, grabbed the woman's hand tightly, and then forcefully flung her away.
The woman staggered several steps and fell flat on her backside.
Soon, a group of bodyguards dressed in black rushed into the crowd and quickly separated the chaotic crowd.
The bodyguards were all tall and muscular, clearly not to be trifled with, which immediately calmed the previously frenzied crowd.
At that moment, Li Ruo suddenly realized what was happening and turned around to see Bai Chuan standing behind her.
The man was chewing gum, wearing sunglasses, and dressed casually as if he were on vacation.
He slowly took off his sunglasses and looked at Li Ruo.
After confirming that she was alright, he breathed a sigh of relief, then grabbed her wrist and shielded her behind him.
This action naturally sent a message to the outside world: that he was in cahoots with Li Ruo.
If they want to take action, they'll probably have to get past her and her bodyguards first.
Looking at Shirakawa, who was clearly no ordinary person, the fierce man who had started the trouble frowned: "Who are you?"
Hearing his question, Bai Chuan smiled slightly: "I am also one of the project managers on this construction site. My name is Bai Chuan, and like President Li, I am also a boss."
Upon hearing this, the victims' families looked at each other in bewilderment.
The man then spoke again: "You brought this group of people here to attack us, didn't you?"
Upon hearing this, Shirakawa smiled and shook his head.
