"Old Zhao, I know you have deep feelings for this construction site, and I don't want to do this either."
I said calmly, "But now it's not just about Old Li; it's about the safety of the entire site and even the whole city. I believe you wouldn't want to see more people get hurt, would you?"
Old Zhao fell silent, and from his eyes, I could see the struggle within him.
"Kid, I hope you can think carefully about this."
In the end, Old Zhao simply coldly tossed out that line before turning to leave.
As the investigation deepened, opposition on the construction site grew stronger.
Many workers began to think that I was making a fuss over nothing. After all, Old Li had been missing for so long, and they were more concerned about the progress of the project and their own earnings.
"Xiao Zhang, it's not that I'm criticizing you, but when will all this investigating come to an end?"
Master Li said earnestly to me, "We're all here to work, hoping to finish quickly and go home. If you keep stirring things up like this, no one will have a good time."
"Exactly. We're all very upset about Old Li's disappearance, but we can't let that delay the project."
"Yes, and your investigation has gone around in circles without yielding any results."
The workers echoed this sentiment, their eyes filled with dissatisfaction and concern towards me.
I understood their feelings, but I could not give up just yet.
"Everyone, let me say something."
I gathered my courage and spoke loudly: "I know you are all worried about the progress of the project and your income, but we cannot overlook the potential dangers because of this. If we do not solve this problem, worse things may happen in the future, and we will regret it then."
The investigation progressed slowly after that until I unexpectedly discovered a key piece of evidence.
In a hidden corner of the construction site, I found an ancient object that looked like some kind of ritual artifact.
From its style and patterns, it was definitely one of the burial items from an ancient tomb.
This discovery thrilled me because it meant I might be getting closer to the truth.
I carefully hid this finding away, preparing to continue my investigation.
However, I soon realized that investigating alone was not enough.
To quickly resolve this mystery, I decided to confront Old Zhao publicly and force him to reveal the truth.
During a workers' meeting, I questioned Old Zhao in front of everyone.
"Old Zhao, what secret are you hiding?"
I looked directly into his eyes and loudly demanded, "What do your actions have to do with the secrets of the ancient tomb?"
Old Zhao's expression was dark and uncertain; he did not expect me to challenge him at this moment.
The workers began to whisper among themselves, intrigued by my question.
However, just as I was about to press further, strange phenomena suddenly occurred on the construction site.
First, the lights began to flicker erratically, followed by a chilling gust of wind that sent shivers down everyone's spine.
Then, strange shadows started to appear on the ground, shifting unpredictably as if they were alive.
The workers were greatly frightened by these occurrences and began to scatter in all directions.
