Rustling...
A group of people started charging forward. At this moment, the security guards were terrified. After yesterday's fierce fight, they knew how formidable these guys were. Besides, they were just security guards, why should they risk their lives for a foreman? Thus, the security guards scattered and fled into the construction site.
"Charge!" Zhou Kai, seeing the opponents fleeing, felt his blood boiling instantly.
The other followers, seeing this, also got excited. Without even fighting, the enemy was scared off by their momentum. How could they not be thrilled? Victory often brought a different feeling and excitement.
The foreman of the construction site was still a bit uneasy. At this moment, a security guard ran over in a hurry, even losing his hat: "Foreman, you better run, the bastards from yesterday are here again."
"What?" The foreman was startled, but then calmed down immediately: "Did you call the police?"
"Called... called them." The security guard nodded.
"Then there's nothing to fear." The foreman sneered: "The police will handle this very soon."
"But shouldn't we hide for now?" the security guard hurriedly said.
"Hide? Why?" the foreman sneered again: "Let's fight them first; if we overpower them, we beat them to death. If we can't, at least we can make their crimes worse, and charge them with intentional injury."
"Ah?!" The security guard was immediately dumbfounded.
At this time, Zhou Kai and his group had already stormed in. Despite Zhou Kai being overweight, he ran smoother than anyone. The foreman quickly yelled: "Quick, stop working, there are attackers, go at them."
At the foreman's call, the workers couldn't disobey; they each grabbed shovels, steel pipes... and charged forward.
Just as the two sides were about to clash, Lin Chuan suddenly shouted: "Stop!"
And indeed, Lin Chuan's shout instantly made everyone halt. The crowd of dozens stared curiously as Lin Chuan, light as a feather, swiftly jumped onto a mixer. He glanced at all the workers on site and said: "Folks, we all emerged from the same root, why rush to cook each other with such intensity? We all toil for this bastard. Today, he owes us wages, tomorrow he might owe yours as well. Today, we're here to reclaim our pay. How can you do this to your own conscience? If tomorrow you demand your wages and face the same treatment from your peers, wouldn't that chill your heart?"
Lin Chuan's words immediately enlightened everyone at the scene.
"It's not that we fear you, but we genuinely feel sorry for you," Lin Chuan said solemnly, a majestic aura exuding from him as the sun possibly cast a halo around him. Lin Chuan waved his hand: "I'm worried you'll get hurt and won't have the money for treatment. Do you remember the mixer worker whose head was broken yesterday? Do you know what happened to him? I'll tell you. He was fired by the foreman, and not only did he not get his wages, but not a cent was given for his medical bills either. What do you think of that?"
Rustling...
The workers were momentarily stunned, then someone roared: "Damn it, I've been working here for months without seeing a single cent of wages. If he doesn't treat us as humans, should we also not regard ourselves as such?"
"We also want to demand our wages." Suddenly, another person roared.
"Demand wages, demand wages, demand wages!!" At this moment, the workers were boiling over. Not just the few dozens on-site, but workers from all around the construction site ran over, joining the wage-demanding brigade.
This shocked the foreman, a hint of panic flashed in his eyes. Now, he sneakily prepared to escape.
Zhou Kai had been keeping an eye on the foreman to prevent him from fleeing. When he noticed the foreman's attempt to escape, he immediately roared: "Catch him, don't let him run."
"Bloody hell, still wants to run!" A strong worker swiftly rushed forward, single-handedly grabbing the foreman's collar and violently dragging him back.
Bang...
The foreman was harshly thrown into the mud. The construction site was extremely dirty, especially after rain, the muddy ground was full of pits.
"Beat him up," the workers roared.
Rustle rustle rustle...
A group of workers immediately rushed forward. Most had been bullied by the foreman before; now, they sought revenge and expression of their grievances. The foreman screamed miserably, struggling in the muddy water. Every time he tried to stand up, he was kicked down by the workers.
"Bloody wench, go to hell!" The strong man swung a shovel, chopping off a chunk of flesh from the foreman's head.
Splurt...
Blood gushed out, and the foreman collapsed, clutching his head.
Zhou Kai was horrified by this scene; injuring someone was one thing, but a potential fatality was a whole different matter. Beating was acceptable, but definitely not a fatality. Zhou Kai urgently called out, "Stop hitting for now, see what he says."
"I... I'll give it, isn't that enough?" The foreman screamed miserably, pleading continuously: "Stop hitting, please don't hit anymore."
"Make a call, have someone bring the money over," Zhou Kai stepped on the foreman's back.
At this moment, the foreman was lying under Zhou Kai's feet like a dead dog. The foreman hurriedly pulled out a black Nokia phone; indeed, it was a remarkable device. After tumbling in the mud, it could still make calls, muddy all over when pulled out.
The call went through, and the foreman anxiously said, "Erzi, quick, bring two million over for an emergency, I... I can't make it anymore."
After hanging up the phone, the foreman was panting heavily with blood constantly flowing from his head.
"Call an ambulance for him," Zhou Kai waved his hand and said, "We're here to collect money, we don't want any deaths."
Someone quickly called for an ambulance, and not long after, the ambulance arrived, leaving several doctors dumbfounded, as the victim had rolled in the mud and blood was all over the ground.
"What... what should we do?" The nurse was stunned, not only was the ground muddy, but the patient was also covered in mud. How should this be handled?
"Start by washing with water." At this moment, the doctor was very calm, and he quickly instructed the nurses to start working busily.
The nurses hurriedly used the water from the ambulance to wash the patient's head, finally cleaning off the foreman's head. There was a large wound, which had sliced off a chunk of flesh but did not reach the bone. The doctor hurriedly applied anti-inflammatory and hemostatic medicines, then wrapped it with a bandage.
"He has many other injuries, and it seems his ribs are also broken." The doctor diligently examined the wounds on the foreman's body using clean hands. As he pressed on the chest, the foreman kept screaming in pain. The doctor quickly said, "He must be immediately taken to the hospital for further examination."
"He can't leave for now," Zhou Kai stepped forward.
"Why?" The doctor was puzzled.
"Because he still owes us money, he can leave after paying," Zhou Kai smiled and said, "Besides, this guy is not in great danger, having broken ribs is just painful, it doesn't threaten his life or death."
"If a broken rib has punctured the lung and isn't rescued in time, it could be fatal," the doctor explained.
"Still no," Zhou Kai said with a grim face, angrily, "He must wait until the money is secured before he can leave."
A few nurses were scared and took a few steps back; at the end of the year, there were more people collecting payments. In previous years, those collecting payments would jump from buildings or climb high-voltage poles. But they had never seen anyone beat up the boss while collecting payments. The doctor could only nod, "Alright, but I can't guarantee the patient's condition then."
"Let's leave it to fate," Zhou Kai chuckled.
Soon, a Range Rover drove in, and then, a man wearing a gold chain around his neck and ten gold rings on his fingers appeared. He carried two bags of money down from the car. Seeing the scene, he was shocked, "What's going on here?"
"The money is here," the foreman quickly shouted, "Erzi, I... I'm here!"
The man carrying the money, upon hearing this, hurried over and exclaimed, "Damn, what's going on with you?"
"Give... give them the money," the foreman quickly said, "I... I need to go to the hospital."
The man hurriedly handed over the money, although furious, he dared not speak, as he was alone and there were so many people on the other side. He quickly threw the money on the ground, "All two million is here."
Zhou Kai walked over, opened the money bags, and indeed, there were stacks of crisp new bills.
"Alright, send him to the hospital," Zhou Kai waved his hand.
The doctors quickly loaded the foreman into the ambulance, and the man from the Range Rover also ran off dejectedly, not wanting to stay at the scene for fear of any consequences.
The workers at the construction site quickly gathered around.
"Hold on a moment," Zhou Kai quickly waved his hand, "Who's responsible for the foreman here?"
"I am..." A man quickly squeezed in.
"This is our invoice," Zhou Kai looked at him and said, "For two months, day and night, hauling earth costs fifteen thousand per vehicle per month, so I'm taking six hundred thousand from here. The rest, you guys can split."
"Alright," the man quickly nodded. The remaining one million four hundred thousand was almost half a year's compensation for them, plus, the previous construction site's wages hadn't been settled yet. Calculated for over a hundred people, there should be more than three million. Although one million four hundred thousand might not be enough, it at least gives everyone some peace of mind.
Zhou Kai and his group counted six hundred thousand in bills and then left the construction site.
More than a dozen people stared at the six hundred thousand, damn, they had never seen so much money in their lives. To their astonishment, Zhou Kai and his team had earned so much this time.
"Kai, how did you guys make so much?" a young man who usually had nothing to do asked.
"I made it by selling hard labor," Zhou Kai tightly hugged the six hundred thousand as they walked along.
"Really?" The young man was thrilled and said, "I don't have any skills, but I can do hard labor, so... how about I follow you from now on?"
"That's fine," Zhou Kai did not refuse.
"We'll also work for you," several other young men shouted together.
