Old Zhao's words left me deep in thought. I had indeed not considered this aspect; perhaps uncovering the secrets of the ancient tomb would bring me success, but for those workers, it meant losing everything.
After careful consideration, I decided to continue my investigation.
Although Old Zhao's concerns were not without merit, I believed that the truth was more important than personal interests.
If I gave up the investigation out of fear of losing something, I would never be able to forgive myself.
Upon returning to the construction site, I found that the situation had worsened.
The power of the Vengeful Spirit seemed to be growing stronger, and strange occurrences began to unfold at the site.
Machines malfunctioned inexplicably, resulting in injuries to two workers; the security guard on night duty heard mysterious sounds and was so frightened that he refused to return to work...
These events plunged the entire construction site into chaos and panic.
However, just as I anxiously sought a solution, Master Li and Xiao Chen found me.
"Xiao Zhang, we need to talk," Master Li said with a heavy tone, while Xiao Chen's face showed clear concern.
"What's wrong, Master Li?"
I forced myself to remain calm as an ominous premonition surged within me.
"Xiao Zhang, we know you've been investigating Old Li's case, but we think it's better if you stop."
Master Li hesitated for a moment before finally revealing their intention.
"Why?"
I furrowed my brow, feeling somewhat confused.
"Because... because we've already lost Old Li, and we don't want to lose you too."
Master Li's voice choked slightly: "You are the smartest young person on the construction site, and we all hope you can stay safe. Moreover, if you continue your investigation, it might bring more trouble, and then no one will be able to save you."
Master Li's words left me in silence.
I knew they were worried about my safety, but I also understood that if I didn't continue my investigation, more innocent people would be harmed.
"Master Li, Xiao Chen, thank you for your concern."
I said firmly: "However, I have made up my mind. I must continue the investigation. This is not only for Old Li but also for everyone working on the construction site. I believe that as long as we work together, we can solve this problem."
My words left Master Li and Xiao Chen in silence.
From their eyes, I saw trust and support, but also worry and fear.
In the following days, I began a more in-depth investigation.
I gathered all the information from the construction site, including progress reports and material procurement records, hoping to find some clues.
However, Old Zhao seemed to have noticed my actions and approached me privately.
"Kid, I advise you not to investigate any further."
Old Zhao's tone carried a hint of threat: "This is not your concern. If you continue digging, be careful for your own safety!"
The fierce glint in Old Zhao's eyes filled me with unprecedented pressure.
But I was not intimidated by him. The reason Old Zhao was so afraid of my investigation was that he must know something and did not want these matters to come to light.
