The Azure Brick laid on the ground began to shake violently due to the flowing water.
Several men exchanged glances and immediately fled in different directions according to their predetermined escape routes. Suddenly, a loud crash echoed as the Square Platform built on the riverbank collapsed.
With a splash, it fell into the water, creating a massive wave that drenched the dozen or so men present, leaving them soaked.
At that moment, bubbles of blood-red water began to rise from the depths, spreading out like red flowers resembling a Demoness under the turbulent current.
"Ah!" The cries of alarm rang out: "Someone's dead, someone's dead!"
The loud screams startled neighbors from all directions, causing hearts to race. Someone's dead?
In an instant, a crowd surged from all sides. The town was already densely populated, and as more people gathered, those at the front could still see blood flowers emerging from the water's depths.
"Wow! Is someone really dead?" a woman exclaimed in shock.
At that moment, a man with a face full of flesh, pouting lips, and slanted eyes that gave him a rogue appearance said while chewing on a Dogtail Grass, "Isn't it obvious? Look at all that blood; how could anyone survive?"
"Hiss~~~ What exactly happened? How could someone die? It's so tragic; shouldn't we hurry and dive in to rescue them?"
The earlier man was anxious: "Rescue what? With such a black-hearted Boss around, how could anyone dare to go in? I think it was intentional.
Just look at her behavior; she's from a Young Lady's family but instead of staying home to embroider, she insists on building houses. Is this work for a girl? And building in the water? Ha ha, it's just ridiculous!"
Another man with two prominent yellow teeth and a frail frame squinted as he pushed forward: "This brother is right. Everyone knows you can't build houses in the water, but she had to try. Now look what happened—someone's lost their life."
"No, we have to report this to the authorities. We can't let the culprit get away with it."
"Oh dear, it's just so pitiful."
The two men exchanged remarks, lamenting for the people below.
This stirred the hearts of some softer-hearted women nearby, and tears welled up in the corners of their eyes. "It's truly tragic; they pulled them out only to lose their lives. How pitiful!"
"Isn't it? I used to hear how great Ten Li Pu's Construction Team was, but now look at us. We should just stick to our own work. Although we earn less, at least it's safe." This came from a woman who lived close to Ten Li Pu.
"What are those people doing? Why aren't they rushing down to rescue anyone?" someone finally reacted, looking at Zhang Sanyou and the others.
"Yeah, you guys are too heartless. How can you act like this? You've lost your conscience just to make money; it's truly disgraceful."
"I can't stand it anymore; that blood is making me dizzy."
The crowd continued to blame Zhang Sanyou and his group, as if they had committed some heinous crime.
The two men who had initially stirred up the anger exchanged glances, a determined smile creeping onto their lips.
As people's fury was directed towards the personnel of Ten Li Pu and Construction Team, the two men quietly slipped away to an Alley not far from Boss Qian's house. They stood by the street, gazing in the direction of Boss Qian's home.
"How's everything going?"
The sinister smiles on the two men's faces remained intact. "Lord Liang, Master Ren, rest assured, everything is going smoothly. That wretched Girl, Liu Qingxi, will definitely have no chance of turning things around this time."
"Ha ha ha, good!" The younger of the two men couldn't help but laugh heartily as he took out two Silver Ingots from his pocket and handed them to the leader. "You've worked hard for this. This is your reward. Remember, this matter never happened."
"Hehehe!" The man smiled, his face wrinkling with the gesture. "Don't worry, Master Ren. We brothers are known for our word in Biqi Town. We each get what we need, and once we leave here, we won't know each other anymore."
"That's best!" Ren Qiangsheng smiled slightly.
Once the two men left, he turned to the older man beside him, who was dressed in a black robe. "Lord Liang, it's your turn now!"
The one being called was none other than Liang Siji.
Everything was arranged by the two men who had hired them, and the current outcome was within their expectations.
Liang Siji cupped his hands toward Ren Qiangsheng. "Don't worry, Old Man knows what to do!" Since they had made a decision, they would ensure that Liu Qingxi would have no chance of turning things around.
As time passed, around the half-constructed house of Boss Liang, the construction workers from Ten Li Pu were surrounded by an angry crowd. "You all can't leave; someone has died, and you can't just walk away!"
At that moment, they didn't understand where their anger was coming from or whether it stemmed from their own heroic fantasies. In the end, it was merely a release of jealousy.
Compared to the people from Ten Li Pu in the past, they had no advantages—no stable income and no leader like Liu Qingxi—only envy and jealousy.
But now, seeing them in trouble allowed their pent-up frustration to finally be released. They wished to see themselves as righteous saviors of the world, as if they were the ones saving everyone.
In truth, most were driven by jealousy, especially after being incited by those two scheming men.
"Bring your person in charge out; have her come explain."
"Everyone, don't panic. Things are not as you imagine," Zhang Sanyou was protected by two young men from Ten Li Pu as he stepped forward, but he was interrupted immediately.
"Stop talking nonsense! A person is dead; what are you going to do about it? How will you explain this to us?"
"Exactly! Even though it's not my house, we are all neighbors. What if the other houses you build collapse? Isn't it dangerous for us passing by? Who would dare live nearby?"
"Give us a solution and let your responsible person come out. Your words mean nothing."
Zhang Wuliang was left speechless by the aggressive men, their fists nearly hitting his face, just a hair's breadth away.
Fortunately, he dodged in time; just thinking about being hit made his teeth ache.
"Our girl isn't here; I'm the one in charge. Can we calmly listen to what I have to say?"
"No way! Don't talk nonsense; your words don't count!"
Every time Zhang Sanyou tried to speak, he was shot down, leaving him at a loss for words. The statement that there were no people below and no one was dead had no outlet.
As a result, everyone overlooked that if there really were people below and the water level wasn't very deep, why weren't they going down to save them? All those working on the construction were from the village; how could there be such cold-blooded individuals?
However, the angry crowd had no time to think and followed the lead of the first person, shouting loudly.
