CHAPTER 1151: CHAPTER 1150: MASTER LIU IS STILL AWAY

Those three people not only haven’t been found, but now two more security guards have disappeared, making it five people missing in total. If we also include Master Yuan’s two people, then seven people have encountered mishaps.

Among them, Master Yuan’s two people died directly in a car accident, so it’s confirmed that they had an incident.

As for those other five missing persons, aside from Afat and his uncle’s clothes being discovered, those two skeletons cannot be confirmed to be those two individuals.

Originally, Erdan disappeared yesterday, and the person in charge of the construction site wanted to suppress this news for the time being, so others wouldn’t find out. But now, with two more security guards missing, it seems hard to keep it under wraps, and it’s only necessary to inform Chairman Su.

Su Wen had just arrived at the company and was preparing to attend a meeting when Secretary Xiao Li received a call from Manager Luo and Manager Han from the construction site.

"Chairman, there’s been another incident at the construction site?"

"Which site?"

Su Wen asked, puzzled.

"The one with the abandoned building."

Abandoned building?

Su Wen was shocked internally.

He had just recently had a good night’s sleep, and now he learns that there is trouble again at the construction site. What happened this time?

"What happened?"

"Manager Luo and Manager Han just called and said a civilian worker went to the restroom in the middle of the night the night before last and then disappeared. Last night, two security guards went out on patrol and also disappeared."

Three people missing?

This reminded Su Wen of the previous incidents at the site.

How could this happen?

Wasn’t Master Liu’s apprentice already dispatched to suppress whatever was causing the trouble?

Could it be that the place is still so malevolent?

"Have the police been notified?"

"Chairman, not yet, they are waiting for your decision. If you want the police called, I will notify them immediately."

Notify the police? Definitely not an option.

So much investment has already been made in that place, and these three men disappeared without reason; we don’t even know if something happened to them at the site or if they ended up elsewhere.

The sales department has already begun selling apartments and shops. If this news gets out, it could seriously impact our marketing. The billions invested would all go to waste.

Moreover, Su Wen feels an internal investigation to find out what exactly happened is crucial. If absolutely necessary, then they might have to involve the police or temporarily halt construction.

For now, he intends to have Steward Su go find Master Liu again and have him check what’s going on over there. How is it possible that the nine crystal coffins buried haven’t had a suppressive effect?

"Steward, it’s me."

Su Wen said.

"Family Head, what is it?"

"Go find Master Liu immediately, tell him there’s trouble again at the construction site. If this continues, the site might come to a complete halt."

Another incident?

This news also made Steward Su quite uneasy; he had not expected problems to arise again there.

After all, it had been less than half a month since Master Liu was called to check, and the crystal coffins were buried. He didn’t expect trouble so quickly.

"Family Head, I will go find Master Liu now. But I must check if he is at home first."

Steward Su ended the call with Su Wen and immediately took out his phone to call Master Liu.

After about a minute, Master Liu picked up and said, "Steward Su, it’s me."

"Master Liu, where are you? There’s been another incident at the site. The night before last, a worker disappeared, and then last night, two security guards vanished."

"Another incident? However, I am currently out of town and can probably only return by tomorrow."

"What about the construction site then?"

"Can you halt construction? I’ll investigate as soon as I’m back."

"Stopping work is difficult; the site is already operating, and residential and shop sales are underway. Halting would mean billions of the Su Family’s investments vanish."

"Then ensure everyone’s safety; I’ll rush back by tomorrow morning."

"Master Liu, please hurry. I’m worried that the pressure on Chairman Su is immense."

"I understand."

After Steward Su finished talking with Master Liu, he called Su Wen again. When Su Wen picked up soon after, he asked, "How did it go with Master Liu?"

"Family Head, Master Liu is out of town. He can only return by tomorrow and suggested halting construction. However, I explained that stopping the work isn’t feasible, so he advised to maintain safety until he returns to deal with it."

Stopping construction really isn’t an option that even Su Wen knows.

In a market with fierce competition, halting shortly after starting would have substantial implications.

It’s not that Su Wen doesn’t care about the three lives lost, but he knows if translated into Huaxia Yuan, compensation would at most be three to four million.

However, if work stops, the losses would be even greater.

From a business standpoint, Su Wen represents the interests of the Su Group, and consideration of financial gain is paramount.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have bid a high price for this abandoned building plot, believing it to be lucrative.

"We’ll have to wait until he returns."

Su Wen said.

After hanging up with Steward Su, he turned to Secretary Xiao Li and said, "Xiao Li, tell Managers Luo and Han that someone will handle things by tomorrow, the site will continue operating, and there’s no need to involve the police. As for the workers, have the subcontractor calm them, and advise against going out at night."

"Chairman, I understand, and I’ll call Managers Luo and Han now."

...

Ye Qiu cultivated all night the "Primordial Five Emperors Technique." The next day, he opened his eyes, slightly dazzled by the sunlight outside the window. When he got up, washed, and went downstairs, he found his parents and sister already up.

However, Liu Lingxiu was nowhere to be seen.

"Lingshow talked with me until late last night; she’s still asleep now."

"Sis, then don’t wake her."

"Ye Qiu, later your sister and I will continue practicing driving. I might run a few more rounds of section three to prepare for the test and aim for my driving license this month."

"Dad, you and sister go ahead."

Section three is way easier than section two; with a few practices and paying attention to the exam rules, one usually passes swiftly.

So, Ye Qiu wasn’t worried.

After Chen Fang and Ye Xue prepared breakfast, Ye Qiu and his family finished eating. Once Ye Weidong and Ye Xue left, Ye Qiu and Chen Fang stayed home to watch TV. It wasn’t until about past nine in the morning that Liu Lingxiu finally came down after washing up.

Seeing Ye Qiu and Chen Fang, she said, a bit embarrassed, "Auntie, I chatted with Ye Xue until late last night and didn’t expect her to wake so early."

"Xue is used to it. When she used to sell breakfast at the porridge and noodle shop, she woke even earlier and slept later. Now it’s much better."

"Mom, Lingshow, do you want to go somewhere fun? I can take you."

"No need, really."

Chen Fang said.

For her, not needing to do any work and having time to watch TV every day was already satisfying. These were things she never dared to imagine before.
