Chapter 341: 340 Someone secretly manipulates

Because of the accident, the normally busy construction site was eerily silent.

Qin Mu, along with a few senior managers from the company, were also present.

Naturally, reporters couldn’t be left out; they always had the quickest access to information. Wherever there was news, they would be there as soon as possible.

Wen Ran didn’t go to the construction site. Instead, she went to Wen’s Pharmaceutical Factory and had Wang Yaohui’s cousin call him to the factory.

Upstairs, in the office.

Wen Ran was waiting for Wang Yaohui’s arrival while chatting with Wen Jin.

“Brother, you can’t be walking too much now. If work is too taxing, get some help,” Wen Ran said, full of concern as she looked at Wen Jin’s leg. He was recovering faster than expected and could already walk on his own, albeit with some effort.

Wen Jin wore a gentle smile and assured her, “Don’t worry, I’ll take care. Work isn’t overbearing for me.”

“Brother, I forgot to tell you something. A few days ago, Sister Li told me that she might quit after the New Year and asked you to find a replacement as soon as possible.”

It wasn’t until Li Qian had left after serving her some flower tea that Wen Ran suddenly remembered. She seemed to have forgotten the reminders Li Qian had given her before.

Wen Jin smiled tenderly: “By the time you tell me, Li Qian might have already quit and gone home. She has already told me about it. However, I don’t think we’re in a hurry to find someone new. We can wait until Sister Li’s pregnancy is confirmed and she quits, it won’t be too late.”

“As long as you know, you’ll be the one to decide when to look for someone.”

Wen Ran smiled nonchalantly. She supposed that she wouldn’t have much chance to help her brother in the future. Not to mention that Mo Xiuchen was reluctant to let her leave, but she, herself, wasn’t willing to leave his side either.

“Ranran, has the crane accident been thoroughly investigated?”

After chatting for a while, Wen Jin turned the conversation to the real matter at hand. The smile on his face faded, and he looked at her concernedly.

“Yes, everything has been investigated, and Brother Lu is now in charge of the case. Didn’t he tell you?”

Wen Ran looked at Wen Jin in surprise. Lu Zhiyan was a good friend of her brother. He had informed her brother about Zhou Mingfu’s cause of death, and even Zhou Mingfu’s diary had been given to Lu Zhiyan by her brother.

“This is MS Group’s affair, Lu Zhiyan may feel there’s no need to tell me.”

Wen Jin shrugged. If it hadn’t involved Ranran, he probably wouldn’t have needed to know.

Wen Ran smiled and explained: “Brother Lu hasn’t finished dealing with it yet. I just learnt about it through Qin Mu. Once Yang Xinfa died and no one was meddling, the truth will naturally prevail.”

It turned out that the accident had happened because someone had tampered with the crane.

This was also why the contract workers were beaten so badly by the bereaved family that they had to be hospitalized, but the crane operator was fine. They thought they could easily deceive the workers at the bottom, but they were wrong. No one was easy to deceive.

Perhaps a leak of information was intentional; hence the bereaved family was so distraught and enraged that evening.

Even Yang Xinfa’s sudden death seemed too coincidental to Wen Ran. It seemed like the whole incident was being manipulated by someone behind the scenes, causing it to unfold bit by bit.

And the person these accidents were aimed at was naturally Mo Xiuchen.

Wen Ran initially felt that she might have been impulsive in promising the bereaved families that she would investigate the reason behind the accidents without asking Mo Xiuchen’s opinion first.

But now, she believed she had done the right thing.

“Hmm, Ranran, this incident might not be as simple as it seems. Be careful when you meet with the family members.”

Whatever Wen Ran could think of, Wen Jin could too.

From the occurrence of the accident to the death of Yang Xinfa, which was a mere twenty hours apart, Wen Ran was almost implicated. Despite Wen Jin not being by his sister’s side during this time, he was always concerned about the development of the situation.

Wen Ran felt warmth spreading in her heart: “Brother, I know. I will not be alone. Xiuchen will be with me. Frankly, I was simply a figurehead.”

Even though she had made the promise, once Mo Xiuchen came back, he took over everything.

There was a knock on the door. Wen Jin concluded the conversation and calmly commanded, “Come in”. The office door opened. Sister Li led Wang Yaohui in and announced: “President Wen, Miss Wen, Mr. Wang is here!”

Wen Ran rose from the sofa and greeted Wang Yaohui as he entered, “Brother Wang, over here.”

Wen Jin, unable to move easily, didn’t stand up but merely nodded at Wang Yaohui.

“President Wen, Miss Wen!”

Wang Yaohui greeted them politely before taking a seat on another sofa, “Miss Wen, you called me here. Is there a result yet?”

Two evenings ago, Wen Ran promised everyone that she would find the truth in three days and provide them with a reasonable explanation. Strictly speaking, the third day would only be tomorrow.

Wen Ran nodded her head and softly replied: “Brother Wang, I’ve invited you here to inform you of the results. However, before that, I would like to understand your thoughts.”

By ‘your’, she was referring more to the other bereaved family.

Wang Yaohui was not a fool. Once he heard Wen Ran’s words, he immediately understood her meaning.

His face revealed a hint of emotion which he seemed to suppress on meeting Wen Ran’s calm and gentle gaze. His voice was slightly harsher: “I will not hide from Miss Wen. The Chen Family and I are prepared for the worst.”

Wen Ran was a bit taken aback, but kept a calm face.

Wang Yaohui stated their plan: “If in three days, Miss Wen is unable to give us an explanation, or if you’re trying to brush us off, then we will seek revenge in our own way.”

“Miss Wen, we can’t distinguish the truth from the fake news online. But one thing is clear to us that this is not a simple accident, nor is it a case of operational error. Someone intentionally tampered with the crane. In other words, this is a conspiracy.”

“The crane operator, who was good friends with my brother before his death, told me this privately.”

“Then, Brother Wang, do you know why someone tampered with the crane?”

Wen Ran asked gently, furrowing her brows slightly.

“Perhaps, as the Internet suggests, MS Group offended someone.”

Wang Yaohui’s expression became cold. He could not control the methods used in the business world, but he was adamant that they should not have used the lowest-level workers as tools in their power struggles.

His brother was in the prime of his life. He had elderly parents and children to take care of. His death shattered their family.

These days, every time he saw his sister-in-law’s gaunt and sad face, his nieces and nephews’ pitiful and helpless gazes, and his father’s pain… his heart ached as if it was being cut by a knife.
