C2 (2/2)

After giving him the order, I looked into his eyes and slowly asked, ”I've heard that someone from our construction site has died before? In the room next to the kiosk? ”

Hearing this, it was unknown if Elder Miao was excited or choked on the smoke as he began to cough non-stop.

Seeing this, I immediately patted Elder Miao's back to ease his anger. At the same time, I stared fixedly at him, waiting for his reply.

After a long while, Elder Miao finally stopped coughing. He snappily glanced at me while wiping away his tears. ”Kid, where did you hear this from?”

”Hey!” There's hope! ”

I was elated and immediately smiled apologetically. ”Isn't this something I occasionally heard when they were chatting with each other?”

”Yes, this was indeed the case at the construction site, and it was indeed in the room next door to the watchtower, but the man was not dead. He was rescued by the hospital, and then he heard that it was all right again. What? Why are you asking this? ”

”No, nothing, just curious. Then, what happened to that person? ”

Seeing that Elder Miao seemed a little unhappy, I immediately shoved a pack of cigarettes that had yet to be opened into Elder Miao's hands. However, after opening it, Elder Miao took one out, then returned the cigarette to me and said meaningfully, ”Young man, just listen to the advice of others and do your own thing.” ”Some things are better left unattended.”

After he finished speaking, Elder Miao lowered his head and began working on the task at hand.

Elder Miao's words seemed to be filled with good intentions, but it seemed as if his words contained another meaning.

Could it be that there was something strange about that matter?

With this thought in mind, I bid farewell to Elder Miao and returned to the watchtower to look up the list of names on the construction site.

Detailed information on each worker was recorded in the roster, as well as a record of each worker's recruitment and resignation. Through my research, I discovered that there had been two security guards here before I came.

The one who quit before me is called Li Wenyuan. He's in his early twenties and lives in the city. The reason for his resignation is unknown. The earlier one, like me, was a foreigner. His name was Liang Jia Jun and he was fifty-five years old. The reason why he left was because, as Elder Miao had said, he had a brain hemorrhage.

As of now, he was in his thirties. It wasn't surprising that someone with a brain hemorrhage would appear here.

Even though I didn't know what happened to the person I saw last night, after reading the records on the register, I felt more at ease.

Walking out of the kiosk, I felt my whole body relax, and I couldn't help but look up and take a deep breath.

But the moment I raised my head, I suddenly saw that on the windowsill of the fourth floor opposite us, there was actually a person standing there. Furthermore, when that person saw me, he impressively leaped up and directly jumped down from the fourth floor!

Boom! *

A muffled sound could be heard, and dust began to rise from the back of the pile of building materials that the person had landed on.

”This is bad!” Something has happened! ”

I ran to where the man had fallen.

However, when I rushed to the place where that person fell, all I saw was a sky full of dust. There wasn't even a single trace of a person's shoes on the concrete floor!

”What's going on? Could it be that I didn't get enough sleep last night and was seeing things? ”

I looked at the dust cloud, then at the window where the figure had jumped down. I felt that something was off, so I decided to go up to the fourth floor to check it out.
