"Huang Zhongxiang, I've treated you well, haven't I? When you came to work here and had nowhere to live, I arranged a dormitory for you, provided free meals, and even promoted you to team leader. But now you stab me in the back..."
Lu Chuanbai's voice came through the hissing current, rough and hoarse, but extremely intimidating. It even made Huang Zhongxiang, facing a small plane, feel cold air and killing intent.
Huang Zhongxiang knelt down on his knees with a thud and defended himself, "Boss Lu, it's not me. I was also forced. Lu Fenglin threatened me. If I didn't help him, I would have a hard time. So I..."
"Shut up. Do you think I will believe you?"
Lu Chuanbai unceremoniously exposed his lie.
Lu Chuanbai crossed his legs and looked elegant and noble.
Only a table lamp was on in the monitoring room. Lu Chuanbai's phoenix eyes were hidden in the shadow under his brow bone, looking a bit aggressive and cold.
Even if Lu Fenglin threatened Huang Zhongxiang, Huang Zhongxiang could have come to him for help. He had just taken the money and still wanted to play the good guy.
"Do you know how many years you will be sentenced for bringing people to the construction site privately and infringing on my property?"
Lu Chuanbai spoke slowly, enunciating clearly, and full of oppression.
Hearing that he would be sentenced, Huang Zhongxiang became even more panicked. Without any dignity as a man, he directly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"Boss Lu, please don't be as knowledgeable as me. Let me go! I will never do it again!"
"What if I don't let you go? You not only have to spit out the money you took, but also face several years in prison." Lu Chuanbai's tone was full of irony.
At the moment Huang Zhongxiang betrayed him, he had lost Lu Chuanbai's trust forever.
Lu Fenglin looked at the man's face that was distorted by fear and changed the subject, "Unless you can make up for it..."
"Make up for it!"
Hearing that there was a turning point in the matter, Huang Zhongxiang nodded quickly, "Make up for it! I'm willing to make up for my mistakes!"
Lu Fenglin's lips curled up in a sarcastic smile, "Okay, didn't they ask you to secretly transport out the unearthed cultural relics? You hide them. Don't hand them in one by one."
"This..." Huang Zhongxiang hesitated. He was worried that if he helped Lu Chuanbai, he would not get the money from Lu Fenglin.
"You can also choose not to do it. It's no big deal to go to prison for a few years and lose both people and money."
Lu Chuanbai said the thing that Huang Zhongxiang was most afraid of in the most plain tone.
Huang Zhongxiang gritted his teeth and agreed, "Boss Lu, I'm willing."
"Okay, if you dare to betray me again, the punishment you receive will be a thousand times greater."
"No more. I swear with my life!" Huang Zhongxiang raised his hand above his head and swore.
Only then did Lu Chuanbai nod in satisfaction, and the helicopter flew back into the sky.
Huang Zhongxiang breathed a sigh of relief. The night wind blew, making him shiver with cold. Only then did Huang Zhongxiang find that he was covered in cold sweat. Cold, he hugged his arms to keep warm.
He originally thought that Lu Fenglin was already very gloomy. He didn't expect Lu Chuanbai's aura to be even stronger.
Huang Zhongxiang began to regret agreeing to Lu Fenglin and helping him.
In the pitch-black tomb passage, there was a pungent smell of earth in the air, and wet green moss grew on the stone walls.
"Damn it, this can't be smashed open at all!"
The bald head wore a lamp cap on his head, which could only illuminate a small area in front of him.
The bald head spat on each palm of his two hands and waved the hammer in his hand with difficulty, smashing it on the tomb door in front of him. However, the tomb door in front of him remained motionless.
Li Zhengyi also found it a bit tricky. If there was no one on this island, they could still use explosives to blow up the tomb door.
However, if the hammer was swung too hard, the sound would be discovered. They didn't dare to use explosives at all!
"Don't smash it." Li Zhengyi stopped the bald head. His eyes were as gloomy as water. "Abandon this tomb chamber. Let's go to other places and have a look."
"No!" The bald head was anxious when he heard this. He raised the big hammer again and smashed it on the tomb chamber three times, shaking his tiger's mouth numb. The hammer fell to the ground.
The bald head kicked the tomb door unwillingly, "This place is the main tomb chamber. There must be countless treasures hidden inside. We can't skip this place!"
Fang Qing also came to help, "Is there any other way?"
Li Zhengyi roared angrily, "Why waste time if there's no way to get in! Do you know how big this tomb is? Almost the entire Weishan Island is a tomb."
"There are still many treasures behind. There's no need to be held back by a main tomb chamber. We should abandon the near and seek the far."
Li Zhengyi's words were reasonable. The bald head was silent for a while. Finally, he unwillingly carried the hammer and backpack and followed Li Zhengyi to turn around and walk deeper into the tomb chamber.
The next morning, the workers gathered for dinner.
Huang Zhongxiang stuffed a plastic bag into his work clothes. While constantly stuffing steamed buns into the plastic bag, he nervously looked at the other brothers, afraid that they would discover it.
However, there must be something strange if there's an abnormality. Because Huang Zhongxiang stuffed too many steamed buns, the rice basket filled with steamed buns was empty in a short while, while the others had only eaten a few.
A 20-year-old young man who was very smart and thin and tall was unhappy. He pulled the rice basket and shouted, "What's going on? In the past, this basket of steamed buns was enough for us to eat. But I've only eaten one, and it's gone! Li Dadan, did you eat them all!"
Sitting opposite him, Li Dadan, who was a bit fat and had his mouth full of steamed buns, said vaguely.
"Yang Tianwen, don't wrong me! I've only eaten two steamed buns. Those steamed buns were all eaten by Brother Huang. He ate more than a dozen!"
"More than a dozen steamed buns!" Yang Tianwen looked at Huang Zhongxiang in surprise.
Huang Zhongxiang said calmly, "So what! Do you have to care about how many steamed buns I eat? Isn't there any more in the kitchen! Go and get some more!"
Yang Tianwen stared at Huang Zhongxiang's bulging stomach and frowned, "Don't overeat!"
"I know what I'm doing!" Huang Zhongxiang pushed the rice bowl away. "Okay, I'm full. I won't compete with you."
Huang Zhongxiang picked up the steamed buns stuffed in his work clothes and walked out.
The others were still eating. Huang Zhongxiang was the first to finish eating.
Yang Tianwen couldn't help but say, "Brother Huang seems a bit strange today. In the past, he would always dawdle while eating and leave last."
"Moreover, he can't eat so many steamed buns!" Li Dadan counted the steamed buns eaten by Huang Zhongxiang.
"He ate a full nine big steamed buns!"
The steamed buns in the cafeteria were twice as big as the steamed buns sold on the market in order to make the workers eat more. Even the strongest men would be full after eating two steamed buns in the morning.
After drinking porridge and eating some other things, they wouldn't be hungry for a whole morning of work.
Although Lu Fenglin was strict in his work, he was absolutely humanized in terms of treatment.
And Huang Zhongxiang ate more than a dozen steamed buns at once, not counting the eggs and porridge he ate. It was really unbelievable. In the past, he only ate one or two steamed buns.
"What do you care about this for!"
