Chapter 3018: Chapter 3018: New Suspicions

Zhu Jinlong glared viciously at the two of them.

"Since you’ve driven things to the extreme, let’s wait and see!"

"Heh..."

Hearing Zhu Jinlong’s threat, Lin Yi chuckled, "Just you?"

"I know I’m stuck today, but my brother won’t let you off!"

"Let your brother come find me, then."

Lin Yi no longer paid attention to Zhu Jinlong but instead said to Yu Siying:

"Keep an eye on things here, don’t let them run. I’m going to the accident site for a look."

"Yes!"

Lin Yi instructed, then turned and ran towards the accident site.

Besides the open-pit mine here, there’s also an underground tunnel.

The accident site is right at the underground tunnel.

The entrance was completely blocked by collapsed ore, resembling a grave.

Lin Yi also knew the real collapse wasn’t at the entrance but somewhere inside.

The situation at the entrance was just an aftershock consequence.

With such a disaster, Lin Yi felt powerless, only able to wait for professionals and construction equipment.

In the face of disasters, human beings are so insignificant.

But what Lin Yi found more unacceptable was the surrounding workers, though anxious, treated it with calm, their expressions particularly indifferent.

They could only shake their heads in regret, to express their feelings.

"Quick, organize the rescue, why are you all stunned!" Lin Yi shouted loudly.

"We’ve experienced this kind of thing many times, it’s surely impossible to save them, just see how much Boss Zhu can pay."

Soon, the sound of police sirens came, from far to near.

Lin Yi felt slightly relieved.

The rescue team arrived, there’s nothing more he needed to do.

Soon, the rescue operation commenced, and Lin Yi quietly retreated to the side.

At this moment, Zhu Jinlong had already been controlled, although his face was gray and dirt-streaked, there was a look of resentment on his face, revealing viciousness.

Just then, a policeman came towards Lin Yi, asking:

"You must be the one who called the police."

"That was me."

"The person in charge here has already been detained by us, please come with me to give a statement."

"Okay, no problem."

Such a procedure was anticipated by Lin Yi.

Afterwards, everything followed the standard protocol.

Lin Yi and Yu Siying were taken back to give their statements; as for how things would be handled next, it’s not something they had to worry about.

...

Shimen City, Dongming Hotel.

A Maybach car stopped at the entrance.

A man dressed in black got out of the car and hurriedly walked into the hotel.

The man was not tall, had short hair, and a somewhat sullen appearance, not leaving a friendly impression, even keeping others at a distance.

After arriving at the hotel, the short-haired man took the elevator to the 16th floor and knocked on the door of room 1608.

The man who opened the door had an average build, was not too young, but had a bald head, making him look a bit aged.

The man’s name was Zhu Jinhua, Zhu Jinlong’s brother.

He was quite influential locally, monopolizing almost all entertainment venues.

"What’s going on? No shipments this month?"

Seeing Zhu Jinhua, the short-haired man anxiously asked.

His name was Liu Qing, owner of a steel factory.

The goods from Zhu Jinlong were always bought by him.

"There was an accident at the Erdaoh River plant, White Water Mountain also needs rectification." Zhu Jinhua said with a gloomy face.

"Didn’t accidents happen before? A bit of money settles it, why is rectification needed this time?"

"This time, it’s different."

Zhu Jinhua lit a cigarette and explained the situation to Liu Qing.

After listening, Liu Qing also had a gloomy look.

"Were they specifically looking to cause trouble?"

"From my brother’s perspective, it doesn’t seem like it," Zhu Jinhua said:

"Initially, they had no intention to report; it was after the incident that they called the police."

"But generally, how could an ordinary person be so capable, especially a woman?"

"Maybe someone retired from somewhere and then started their business."

Liu Qing said from the sofa:

"You’ve been mingling for so many years, your networks are interconnected. If they don’t hold anything against you, it shouldn’t need rectification."

"Not only will rectification be unnecessary, but the accident can also be swiftly settled."

Liu Qing glanced at Zhu Jinhua, clearly picking up the underlying meaning of his words.

"Brother Hu has an idea?"

"If these two are not dealt with, this matter will be hard to resolve," Zhu Jinhua said:

"You know the quality of the ore; if it’s completely shut down, we’re finished."

"The matter is still in our control, there’s no need to use such means if we can help it."

Zhu Jinhua looked at Liu Qing, and said:

"What does President Liu think...?"

"Resolve it with money; we’re all businessmen here. Problems that can be solved with money aren’t really problems."

Zhu Jinlong remained silent for a moment, then said:

"Maybe it won’t work, let’s have a second plan ready, what’s President Liu’s view?"

"My idea is to resolve this quickly," Liu Qing said:

"But the pressing issue is whether you can still find those two."

"My brother has that man’s phone number, finding them won’t be a problem," Zhu Jinhua said:

"Plus, I’ve sent people to tail them, they’re still in the county."

"That’s great, quickly settle this matter," Liu Qing said:

"We’ve cooperated for so many years; my friendship with your brother is not shallow. I don’t want to see this happen. I’ll put up 500,000 yuan to settle it swiftly."

"President Liu is indeed straightforward," Zhu Jinlong said:

"This is our problem; I can’t drop the ball. Wait for my news, I’ll contact you within three days."

"No more than three days; this batch is urgent and can’t delay the production, you need to do your best."

"Leave it to me."

...

That day, it was already past four in the afternoon when the statement was completed.

They randomly picked a roadside stall and had their first meal of the day.

"Boss, this is getting tough," Yu Siying said:

"The mine is sealed, even if we could save the other one, Zhu Jinlong might not want to sell to us."

"Not necessarily," Lin Yi said:

"It’s going to be hard for Zhu Jinlong to take over this place in the short term. We can just find someone new to take over."

"The problem is, the new person is likely connected to Zhu Jinlong, and might not want to deal with us."

"With enough money, anything is possible. If our offer is high enough, I believe they’ll be tempted."

Lin Yi said calmly:

"And the reason I’m doing this is just to avoid a big fuss. As long as I wish, this matter won’t be a problem."

"I understand what you mean."

"But right now, I’m more interested in the buyer connected with Zhu Jinlong."
