Wei Huo looked into the window of the house and saw two middle-aged people around 50 years old. The man was silent, while the woman was crying.

It was a reception room. There were two young staff members, a man and a woman, and an armed guard inside.

The two young staff members were helpless. They poured tea for the two visitors and returned to their seats. They did not say a word. The two of them felt helpless. It seemed like they were new here and did not know how to handle this matter. However, they had already reported this issue to the leader.

A young man told the woman, “You guys… Please calm down. I’ve already informed the higher-ups. Someone will be handling this matter soon.”

The woman seemed like she wanted to say something, but she was shocked by the middle-aged man’s words. “Don’t make things difficult for the two children. When the leader comes over, I believe he will handle this matter fairly.”

Soon, a middle-aged man with a beer belly walked into the reception room.

The two employees and the guard turned serious. “Director Wang!”

Director Wang was wearing a white shirt, black trousers, and leather shoes. As soon as he entered the reception room, the male employee went to pour him water. However, he said, “No need. I still have a meeting.”

After saying that, he looked at the two visitors. “I understand your son’s situation. He died in the construction site of Area C7. The incomplete housing collapsed, and the lack of equipment caused a huge fire. Your son died as a result. We are very sorry about that. We have already contacted the construction manager. He promised to double the compensation stated in the contract. Please go back.”

The middle-aged man got excited. “This was definitely not an accident. If it had been an accident, we would not have come here to visit. This was murder. The collapse of the house was real, but the short-distance explosion was fake. The corpse has been destroyed!”

Director Wang was very cold. “If you’re not convinced, you can choose to sue the person in charge of the construction in the arbitration area. You can also ask someone to investigate. We can’t just take your word for it.”

The woman stood up excitedly. “The arbitration area and the person in charge are in cahoots. How are we going to sue them?”

Outside the window, Su Xiaoyu explained, “There’s a construction department in Tengyun City. It’s managed by the administrative department. Due to the limited land, people are not qualified to build private houses.”

Chief Wang frowned and said loudly, “If you don’t take legal action, it means that you have given up the right to use the means available by law. There’s nothing we can do.”

The woman seemed, looking unconvinced. “If you don’t care, I’ll wait here until I die!”

Director Wang glanced at the guard. “Contact the police station and get someone to take them away.”

The woman seemed like she wanted to make a fuss, but the middle-aged man stood up. “We will leave on our own, but before we leave, I have something to say. If you ignore the truth, you will end up in big trouble!”

Wei Huo saw everything. The moment the middle-aged man said that, he felt a wave of luck. This was the first time he had encountered something like this. Even the Luck Severance Skill had no record of this.

Luck fluctuated like a tide. Everyone’s luck began to fluctuate. Suddenly, the luck increased and decreased. This situation lasted for over 30 seconds before everyone’s luck returned to normal.
