Chapter 559: Chapter 554 Who Invites Who to Dinner_1

"Long before this, I had heard that these developers were up to no good; I never imagined they would be so brazen and reckless,"

Old Yuan had weathered many storms and understood quite a bit about the actions of those people.

"I don’t want to be passive anymore," Gu Chen said firmly at this moment.

Being passive could lead to unforeseeable events.

Up until now, their measures had been non-violent, but Gu Chen worried that one day they would turn to violence.

Although Gu Chen had already sought Broken Brow and others to protect Tang Tang and Ji Pianran.

But you can never be too careful!

If something indeed went wrong, it would be too late for regrets.

"What do you plan to do?" Old Yuan asked patiently.

"They’ve been in Chuan City for so many years, surely they must have some vulnerabilities," Gu Chen asked.

Upon hearing this, Old Yuan understood Gu Chen’s thoughts.

He remained silent, his thoughts inscrutable.

Several minutes later, Old Yuan finally said slowly, "There are vulnerabilities for sure, the trouble is whether we can find them."

Having vulnerabilities meant that they were also aware of them, making it not so easy for Gu Chen to catch them.

Gu Chen wasn’t afraid of the difficulty of the task; he feared that it might be impossible to do anything at all.

If there were vulnerabilities, then everything would become much easier.

"As far as I know, the Green Sky Corporation was once responsible for the construction of the Liangjiang Bridge, and there was an incident. It caused quite the stir at first, but then it quieted down," said Old Yuan as he continued to smoke without interruption.

"What happened?" Gu Chen’s eyes lit up instantly.

Construction was when accidents were most likely to occur, and that was the kind of vulnerability he was looking for.

"It’s said that one night, the construction team’s foreman suddenly called someone to the site, and after that person went there, he never returned,"

"In the end, the family received twenty thousand yuan as compensation, but people were saying that the construction team used the person as a pile driver to appease the water ghost."

Old Yuan shared this chilling tale with Gu Chen.

Gu Chen furrowed his brows, pondering for a while.

In this day and age, many people were very superstitious, especially those working on construction sites, so Gu Chen thought such an event was not entirely out of the realm of possibility.

"Afterward, the family refused the compensation money and instead demanded that the construction site return the body. However, the site remained silent, dragging on to this day without showing the family the body of their loved one, leaving the death a complete mystery."

After telling Gu Chen all this, he took a deep breath.

Could the people of Green Sky Corporation really commit such heinous acts?

"But if the piling is done, where would you even start looking?" Old Yuan said to Gu Chen.

Although everyone knew something was fishy about the incident, there was nothing they could do about it.

The bridge was already completed, with vehicles driving over it daily.

The cause of the person’s death and why it happened were all dictated solely by the Green Sky Corporation.

Until today, the family could only weep helplessly.

"This matter is not without a solution," Gu Chen suddenly said.

Old Yuan looked at Gu Chen, not understanding what he meant.

"Just tear down that bridge and build a new one," Gu Chen said.

Old Yuan was startled upon hearing this and quickly said, "Do you know how much money it takes to build a bridge? That project had an investment of nearly a million, and if the bridge were torn down and rebuilt, it would cost another million.

Spend a hundred million over this Green Sky Corporation matter? That’s not worth it. Moreover, you should know that even if such a thing happened, Green Sky Corporation would definitely blame it on the construction team; they would never admit to it themselves."

Old Yuan hastily stopped Gu Chen, knowing that Gu Chen probably wasn’t short of money now.

The sports car parked outside was a clear sign of that.

But money that shouldn’t be spent must not be wasted.

Gu Chen knew this was the case, and this matter could only be considered a last resort.

"I’m telling you this just to let you know that Green Sky Corporation really stops at nothing to get their way."

"That boss, Liu Dahai, apart from his legitimate business, also runs a dance hall in Chuan City. That dance hall employs a bunch of people from who knows where, and there’s always people fighting outside, but inside the dance hall remains unscathed."

"It’s said they have a rule that any grievances have to be taken outside the hall; any trouble inside would result in a minor punishment."

Old Yuan truly knew everything, even this sort of stuff.

Dance halls were more popular than KTVs these days, and upon hearing this, Gu Chen instantly became interested.

Green Sky Corporation was unscrupulous yet faultless. If push came to shove, it might not be necessary to start with the company itself; other industries could serve just as well.

"If it were only this, it wouldn’t be too bad, but I’ve heard that some wealthy and powerful individuals who fight and injure people inside are simply ignored by the dance hall, while those who are beaten suffer a lot of hardship."

"It’s said there’s no avenue for redress, and the injured have to pay their own hospital and medical bills, without a shred of evidence that they were even attacked. No one believes it, and there are never any witnesses; the dance hall is staffed by their own people, so who could testify for them?"

Old Yuan spoke of the plight faced by ordinary people.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen’s interest was immediately piqued.

"Old Yuan, where did you hear all this?" Gu Chen asked curiously.

"It was when Qi Qi was in the hospital. I heard it from the old lady in the next ward; her son had his leg broken and can’t take care of himself for the rest of his life."

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen instantly stood up.

"Old Yuan, let’s get together another time."

After saying that, Gu Chen headed straight for the exit.

Watching Gu Chen leaving in a hurry, Old Yuan was left dumbfounded.

The man was too impatient; the food had just been served.

He picked up his chopsticks, intending to finish the meal before leaving.

But just then, the waiter approached cautiously.

"Excuse me, sir, the bill for your table hasn’t been settled yet."

The waiter was worried since Gu Chen had left so abruptly that Old Yuan might bolt as well.

If that happened, the waiter would have to pay for the meal himself.

Old Yuan realized that even the check hadn’t been paid.

For a moment, he didn’t know what to say.

Isn’t he the one who vaguely remembered Gu Chen offering to treat him to this meal?

In the end, he had no choice but to foot the bill himself.

Meanwhile, Gu Chen was speeding toward the hospital.

After parking the car at the hospital entrance, Gu Chen couldn’t wait to rush inside.

Less than eager to reach Qi Qi’s neighboring ward, Gu Chen glanced inside.

Although it was just a wall away from Qi Qi’s ward, the difference between them was night and day.

Qi Qi’s room was an expensive private ward, while this one was more like an open dormitory.

There were quite a few people inside; Gu Chen pushed the door open and entered.
