Initially, upon hearing the foreman’s words, they had thought it was people from a rival construction team causing trouble.
But now, hearing Zhu Li’s words, it seemed they had misunderstood.
Who among those present wasn't a struggling soul?
Upon hearing Zhu Li’s plight, they all glared angrily at the foreman!
The foreman hadn’t expected that Zhu Li, who was usually slow-witted, would be so clear-headed this time.
In front of the workers, he laid bare all the foreman’s crimes!
For a moment, the foreman’s hands trembled, his small, mung bean-like eyes darting around…
No.
He absolutely could not admit to this crime!
Who knew if Zhu Li had brought a voice recorder today?
If they had both witnesses and evidence, and Zhu Li presented it all in court, what good outcome would there be for him?
With this thought, the foreman shouted in a feigned fierce tone, “Nonsense!”
“You know yourself how your wife disappeared, yet you blame me!”
“Do you really think I have no mouth to speak!”
Zhu Li was so enraged he could have shattered his teeth, glaring hatefully at the foreman.
His whole body trembled slightly with anger!
Even at this point, the foreman still wanted to twist the truth!
Zhu Hong, however, was calmer than Zhu Li.
After hearing the foreman’s words, she sneered and said in a clear voice,
“If my sister-in-law wasn’t really killed by you, why are you carrying a yellow talisman with you?”
At Zhu Hong’s words, everyone finally noticed.
A yellow talisman was stuck to the top of the foreman’s tent.
It looked extremely eerie!
The foreman was startled, not knowing how his secret had been discovered.
A hint of guilt flickered across his face.
Over the years, the foreman had indeed caused the deaths of many people.
Both men and women.
Sometimes he would have nightmares at night.
To ward off evil, he had asked for a talisman to carry with him.
Wherever he contracted a project, he would paste it there.
Because the position was chosen cleverly, no one had ever discovered it.
Who knew Zhu Hong could spot it at a glance!
“This was just pasted during the opening ceremony.”
“If judgments were made based on your baseless accusations, would there be any innocent people left in the world!”
The foreman lied with his eyes closed.
After all, these people didn't know the procedures, and it was up to him to say what was what, right?
Zhu Hong was amused, then said directly, “Fine, since you’re so stubborn, I’ll have to bring my sister-in-law’s memorial tablet!”
The foreman’s act of posting the yellow talisman showed that he believed in such things.
Upon hearing Zhu Hong’s words, he became even more guilty.
Although he maintained his composure on the surface, his back was already drenched in sweat!
He knew best what he had done.
Not only had he killed Zhu Li’s wife, but he was also responsible for many of the missing persons from the construction site before.
If such things truly existed in the world…
Although neither Zhu Li nor Zhu Hong had produced strong evidence, the foreman’s reaction made all the workers understand.
Someone said indignantly,
“I must have been blind to have worked with this scoundrel for so long!”
“No wonder he asked me last time why I didn’t bring my daughter to the big city; so he had this kind of idea!”
“It’s a good thing you didn’t bring your wife and daughters, or they would have been in danger!”
Indeed.
Look at Zhu Li and Zhu Hong, each more miserable than the other.
Not only were they wrongly accused by the foreman, but they had also lost their jobs.
And all of this was thanks to the foreman!
The workers present felt a sense of relief.
Seeing that everyone had seen through the foreman’s true nature, Zhu Li immediately continued to reveal the truth.
“All these years, my sister and I have never given up on revenge.”
“Wherever this man worked, we would wait there, just for an opportunity.”
“We discovered that this person is truly a devil. He doesn’t only target women, but he doesn’t spare men either in his pursuit of power and profit!”
“Who knows how many sins are buried beneath the river!”
Zhu Li’s words caused an uproar.
All the workers angrily exclaimed, “We must send this man to the police station for proper interrogation!”
“Right! No wonder his construction teams always have missing persons; I bet he killed them all!”
The power of the crowd was immense.
The foreman, who had always lorded over the construction site with his status, found that at this moment, no one listened to him anymore.
They all hoisted the foreman up and marched in unison towards the police station.
Zhu Li and Zhu Hong exchanged glances and lagged behind.
Zhou Yu followed at the very end, a smile playing on his lips.
“Sir, I heard that this foreman has very powerful backers.”
“We’re afraid that even if we go to the police station, he’ll be able to escape!”
Zhu Li quietly voiced his concerns.
For so many years, he and his sister had gathered a lot of evidence against the foreman, and they hadn’t failed to think of bringing this scum to justice.
But every time, hadn’t the foreman always gotten away unscathed?
This had made them increasingly disheartened and disappointed.
To the point where they no longer had any thoughts of revenge!
“It’s fine, I’d like to see just how powerful his connections are.”
Zhou Yu said with a light smile.
It wasn't a problem to have people helping him, but he feared there would be no one to help him!
If it weren’t for this brother and sister, Zhou Yu wouldn’t have imagined such darkness existing in Yunhai City.
The Jin family?
He didn’t know if the head of the Jin family, Yun Yanlan, was aware of this!
The group, in a mighty procession, escorted the foreman to the police station.
Even the duty officer was stunned.
It took a while for him to react.
“We report that this scoundrel has several lives on his hands!”
“That’s right, he uses his position to bully men and women!”
As the workers entered, they all spoke at once.
The officer frowned and asked them to quiet down.
He then said, “There are too many people here, and it’s unclear. Let those who can explain clearly come forward!”
Zhu Li was still a little apprehensive.
But under Zhou Yu’s encouraging gaze, he stepped forward.
Having organized his thoughts along the way, Zhu Li spoke logically and coherently.
He not only recounted the events of his wife’s disappearance but also presented all the evidence he and his sister had gathered over the years!
The duty officer was a newly appointed young constable.
Upon hearing this, he was furious!
If what Zhu Li said was true, then this foreman was truly lawless!
Because the chain of evidence was sufficient, the foreman was arrested that day.
Watching the foreman being handcuffed, the workers naively believed that the matter was over.
They all began to cheer.
“I say, you two siblings should have come to the police station sooner!”
“That’s right, heaven is clear and bright, let’s see how this devil can hide now!”
Many workers lectured Zhu Li and his sister.
Zhu Li smiled wryly and nodded, but said nothing.
Because it was working hours, even though the foreman had been arrested, they still had to go back to work.
So these workers didn’t stay long before leaving.
Only Zhu Li, his sister, and Zhou Yu remained outside the police station.
After everyone had left, it became quiet outside the police station.
