Chapter 169 Chen Hao blocks the injury
Chen Hao shrugged, putting away his cynical expression, "Okay."
The two walked to the front of the bungalow together, and the sound of quarreling inside was endless.
"You big bosses all dress so brightly, but have you ever thought about us laborers? Now my brother has lost his life, and no amount of money can bring him back!" As soon as these words came out, the voice inside became even more indignant.
Jiang Man frowned, knocked on the door gently, pushed it open and walked in.
The sound inside suddenly stopped.
Jiang Man saw Su Heng sitting in the middle of the table with a complicated and unpredictable look in his eyes.
He looked up at her, his pupils shrank slightly, and looked at Chen Hao beside him with a hint of reproach.
Chen Hao suddenly felt like a deflated ball, muttering to Jiang Man, "I'm going to be criticized again later."
The two walked behind Su Heng, and Su Heng tilted his head slightly, "Who told you to bring her to a place like this?"
Chen Hao sighed and betrayed Jiang Man unrighteously, "Brother, she insisted that I bring her here."
Jiang Man widened his eyes, but couldn't refute it, because it was indeed the fact.
She coughed lightly and whispered, "Didn't you ask me to find Chen Hao?"
"I'll settle the score with you when I get back." Su Heng glanced at her.
Jiang Man shrugged indifferently.
"Go on." He looked at everyone and said lightly.
Hearing this, the contractor was filled with righteous indignation again, and yelled at Su Heng, demanding justice.
His roar aroused the anger of the crowd, and everyone shouted and refused to give up.
The staff member standing by couldn't stand it anymore and waved his fist at the worker in front of him.
This punch escalated the situation instantly, and both sides fought fiercely.
Faced with this sudden change, Su Heng remained calm. He picked up the water glass and took a sip, his eyes flickering slightly. "Stop," he shouted in a deep voice.
I don’t know if it was because his aura was too strong, but everyone really stopped what they were doing.
He glanced at the contractor indifferently, tapping the table with his index finger. "After all this talk, you're just complaining the money isn't enough. Tell me, how much do you want?"
Hearing this, all the workers were whispering, but the contractor was the only one who remained stubborn and refused to give in.
Su Heng twirled her pinky ring. "If you feel it's unfair, don't worry. The company will be responsible for supporting his parents and children, and will never mistreat them a cent."
"If you want to continue the strike, I'm sorry, the company doesn't need this kind of construction team that disobeys management." He spoke slowly, placing the water cup heavily on the table. "If everyone obeys the arrangements, the company will never treat you unfairly. We will give everyone a satisfactory explanation for this accident." After speaking, he stood up and glanced meaningfully at the employee who took action first.
His words successfully calmed the noise.
He led everyone out of the bungalow, and as soon as they walked out the door, a group of thugs rushed out shouting about fighting and killing.
Su Heng narrowed his eyes and quickly protected Jiang Man behind him.
Seeing someone making trouble, the workers picked up their weapons again and started fighting with the group.
In the chaos, Jiang Man's eyes flashed, and he quickened his pace and ran towards the child not far away.
The warmth in his arms suddenly disappeared. Su Heng frowned and shouted, "Jiang Man."
Faced with so many people, the child was already frightened and started crying loudly, standing there at a loss as to what to do.
Jiang Man hugged the child tightly in her arms, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." She patted the child's back and wanted to hide in the bungalow with the child in her arms.
Unexpectedly, the person on the opposite side was very sharp-eyed and swung a stick down.
Jiang Man screamed and held the child in her arms.
The pain did not come as expected. She opened one eye in fear. Chen Hao stood in front of her, and blood from his forehead dripped down his jaw.
"Chen Hao..." she cried out tremblingly.
A smile appeared on Chen Hao's pale face, "Sister-in-law, I brought you to this kind of place. If I don't protect you, your brother will definitely skin me alive, right?" He turned around and kicked the person behind him, dodged the stick, and joined the fight.
Su Heng walked up to her and cursed, "Are you an idiot?"
Jiang Man was still shocked, tears in his eyes, and shook his head.
Seeing her aggrieved look, he swallowed back the words of blame that were about to come out of his mouth.
"If you encounter this kind of thing again, remember to protect yourself first." After saying that, he turned around and followed the workers to join the battle.
With the addition of Chen Hao and Su Heng, the thugs were quickly beaten away.
Looking at the worker lying on the ground, Su Heng's eyes flashed slightly, and he turned around and made a phone call.
Soon, the hospital's ambulances arrived one after another, and the injured workers were helped into the vehicles one by one. Even the contractor, who had been arguing with them earlier, was asked to get on the ambulance.
After arriving at the hospital, crying and groaning sounds were heard one after another.
Su Heng frowned and walked closer to the foreman. "Is this kind of situation commonplace?"
The contractor looked at him with an embarrassed expression and nodded slightly, "A Feng was beaten to death by those people."
Hearing this, Su Heng's brow twitched slightly, "Didn't they say that he fell because of inadequate safety measures during the operation?"
The foreman contractor tugged at the dusty corner of his clothes and sighed, "Boss Su, you are a good man. Someone asked me to say this." He sat dejectedly on the bench, "We have no choice. Dozens of brothers are waiting for meals. I don't know who instigated those hooligans to come and make trouble every now and then, making it impossible for us to carry out normal construction. Once we stop working, we have no income. We all came from the countryside to the city to make a living." As he spoke, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Su Heng nodded. "Why are you telling me all this truth all of a sudden? Aren't you afraid that you won't get the money from the mastermind?"
"I can't do things against my conscience. I'm a rough guy, but I also know that I have to do things that are worthy of myself. I hid it from you before because I wanted to earn some hard-earned money so that I could go home and live my life."
"But after meeting you today, I found that Mr. Su is different from those big bosses, and the people around you are also different. The child that the young lady just saved is my son."
"He came over to play today. I wanted to take him out after I finished dealing with things here, but I didn't expect..." He was dejected. "I thought you big bosses didn't treat us as human beings. I didn't expect you to join us in fighting against those thugs. I am grateful in my heart, so..." He didn't say the rest, and Su Heng already understood.
"Don't worry, I will bear all the medical expenses here. As for those troublemakers, it is also my responsibility. I will send people to drive them out." After saying that, he patted the contractor's shoulder and turned to leave.
The contractor wiped the tears from his eyes and said, "Thank you, thank you!"
