"Thud!" "Thud!" "Thud!"

The sound of footsteps on the stairs echoed, like the beating of a heart.

Arriving upstairs, Liu Xin's gaze swept across every corner, including the places where many workers were standing, inspecting each area.

From this tall building, you could see the conditions elsewhere, spotting the cluttered items scattered around.

...

On one side of the road, Qin Yun parked his car, sitting inside, discussing the clothing store matters with Zhao Tianqiang.

"President Qin, now all three Celestial Fortune clothing stores in Rongyang City have been fully renovated, and clothing items are being gradually moved in. The staff training is also in progress," Zhao Tianqiang reported.

For the clothing stores in Rongyang City, recruitment must be conducted there, rather than hiring in Jinling and then sending them over to Rongyang City.

The time had come to the end of December. Soon, December would be over, and the new year would arrive.

By January 1st, Celestial Fortune will own fifteen clothing stores within Su Province.

"Hmm, the large store will open on the 1st, and the two smaller stores will open on the 2nd," instructed Qin Yun.

While speaking on the phone, Qin Yun glanced out of the car window, noticing a construction site nearby. At once, he could see the busy workers inside the site.

Just about to look away, Qin Yun suddenly froze, his pupils slightly contracting.

"Bang!"

He quickly opened the car door, his whole body moving exceptionally fast, rushing towards the construction site.

...

Upstairs, Liu Xin was busy moving things.

"Liu, let's head upstairs after moving these items," a worker said.

"Alright." Liu Xin nodded, smiling shyly.

He looked at the wooden boards in front of him, his expression unchanged, and walked over them.

At this moment, his mind was clear, knowing full well what was about to happen next, yet he felt no fear.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do this," he silently said in his heart.

"Crash!"

As he reached a spot, a sudden sound rang out, and several wooden boards beneath Liu Xin suddenly shifted.

He staggered under the shifting boards.

"Liu!"

Seeing the situation, the workers in the room turned pale, wanting to rush forward.

But it was too late; everything happened so quickly. Staggering, Liu Xin reached the edge of the building, and noticing this, a trace of terror appeared in his eyes, but his body was already leaning and couldn't straighten up. Then his body plunged downwards.

"Not good, Liu Xin fell off the building!"

Cries of alarm continuously erupted.

At this moment, Qin Yun, who was running, also witnessed Liu Xin falling directly from the building.

...

In mid-air, as Liu Xin fell, in that instant, he felt no fear, but a sense of relief.

The previous situation would appear to anyone as an accident, impossible for anyone to think he did it on purpose.

Even if they realized it, the construction site would definitely provide some form of compensation.

This was a deceitful act, but Liu Xin had no choice. He could only think of this as a way to get a substantial amount of money right now.

Below, faint voices could be heard.

"How's my car? Just bought it recently?"

"Look at the decorations inside, it cost me over a hundred thousand."

A voice casually remarked, full of complacency.

For others, a hundred thousand might seem ordinary, but for Liu Xin, it was hard to come by.

Soon after, Liu Xin felt a sharp pain in his body, hitting something before reaching the ground.

"My car!"

Li Wei was driving, bragging to his friends, when suddenly there was a loud crash against his car, followed by a figure appearing outside the window.

He exclaimed in surprise, quickly getting out of the car.

"Someone fell from the building!"

Li Wei's complexion changed drastically, although he felt a twinge for his car, he was more concerned about human life.

This was a site contracted by his father, and now that the country was increasing scrutiny over real estate, a fatality here would certainly be a significant impact.

"Are you okay?"

Hastily getting out of the car, seeing the pained Liu Xin on the car, Li Wei quickly asked.

He dared not touch Liu Xin, instead, directly calling 120 on his phone.

"Someone fell from the building."

At this moment, some nearby individuals noticed the situation here, their faces changing as they rushed over.

"Another incident on the construction site."

"These heartless real estate developers, doing work at heights with no safety measures, inflating housing prices so high I can't afford a house, my girlfriend left me, I need to record this, we can't let workers be bullied."

Onlookers approached, and some discreetly filmed with their phones among the crowd.

Li Wei noticed, his expression shifted slightly, but he couldn't stop it. If he attempted to do so, the footage would go online and cause public outrage, which would be disastrous.

Shock? Another significant hazard exposed at the construction site!

Where is justice! Arrogant rich second generation? Workers oppressed, jumping off the building?

A series of headlines flashed through Li Wei's mind at that moment.

With so many irresponsible posts online, though somewhat unruly, Li Wei knew handling the situation properly was crucial.

Li Wei called for help, and soon Qin Yun arrived by Liu Xin's side. The worst-case scenario hadn't occurred, and he exhaled slightly in relief.

"Liu Xin, how do you feel now?" Qin Yun hastily inquired.

"Brother Qin."

Liu Xin, seeing Qin Yun, showed a pained expression, sensing the pain throughout his body.

More than the pain, his heart sank into despair, feeling chills as his perfect plan failed.

He knew his injuries weren't severe, meaning the compensation wouldn't be much.

Once enacted, a staged accident couldn't be done again.

The anxiety gnawed at him, numbing the pain until the ambulance arrived and he was sent to the hospital.

The test results came quickly, revealing a minor leg fracture, not severe.

Upon hearing it, the wealthy second-generation Li Wei sighed in relief, grateful his car cushioned the fall.

Otherwise, a more severe fracture was inevitable for Liu Xin.

Leaving some money, Li Wei and his companions left.

"Liu Xin, are you feeling better now?"

Qin Yun brought some food over since there were only a few people in the ward at that time, placing it on the small table beside the bed, and asked.

"Brother Qin, I'm much better," Liu Xin forced a smile.

Looking at Qin Yun, he suddenly said, "Brother Qin, could you not tell my parents about the accident on the construction site? I'll recover in a couple of days, and then I'll go back."
