Chapter 357: Chapter 347: Stubbornly Unenlightened

"Don’t mention it, wait until I help you get your money, then you can thank me. A pack of cigarettes isn’t too much, right?"

Long Chen said with a smile.

"Not too much at all, whether we get the money or not, I should treat you to a pack of cigarettes."

"Fair enough, fair enough, you seem like a good-hearted person too," Long Chen replied with a laugh.

As Long Chen spoke with the worker, they laughed and joked, and during the conversation, Long Chen also learned many specific details about the boss’s wage arrears.

He didn’t notice a girl in the corner of the bus recording everything.

After getting off the bus, the worker led Long Chen to their construction site.

Meanwhile, the girl who was filming on the bus continued to follow.

The worker didn’t notice anything, but Long Chen had realized long ago.

Suddenly, he stopped and turned around.

The girl was startled and immediately halted.

Long Chen frowned and asked, "Why are you following us? I noticed you filming on the bus, and now you’re following us. What’s this all about?"

"Sorry, I was just curious about how you were helping the workers get their money, so I followed. I mean no harm. By the way, I’m a student from Qian University."

She quickly pulled out her student ID from her bag.

Long Chen glanced at it and believed her words.

However, Long Chen didn’t ask the college girl to leave but instead smiled and said, "Since you’re here, you might as well help out."

"Sure, sure, what can I help with?"

The girl asked curiously.

"Pretend to be a reporter conducting interviews, that should have some effect," Long Chen instructed.

"I guarantee I’ll complete the task. Wow, you’re really impressive. How did you know I study this?"

The girl was astonished.

Long Chen was taken aback and then laughed it off, "I didn’t know what you study, you gave yourself away. I wondered why there would be a girl who’s a stalker, turns out it’s because you study this. Well, then, no problem."

"Heehee, as long as you don’t mind, then I’m relieved. By the way, my name is Mu Sisi."

"Nice to meet you, Mu Sisi, I’m Long Chen."

Long Chen smiled and shook hands with Mu Sisi.

Mu Sisi’s smile was twice as sweet, "Long, it’s rare nowadays to see someone as filled with a sense of justice as you."

"There’s a need for people of justice in this world, so here I am."

Long Chen stated.

"Wow, that’s so cool."

Sparkling admiration shone in Mu Sisi’s eyes.

Not long after, led by the worker, the three of them arrived at the construction site.

"Because our team hasn’t received our pay, we’ve gone on strike, but the boss immediately found new people to come work, sigh."

The worker explained.

"Which one is the boss?" Long Chen asked.

"Over there, he should be in the Land Rover," the worker replied.

"Let’s go have a look."

Long Chen quickened his pace.

As he approached the Land Rover, Long Chen realized the vehicle was shaking.

From inside, there were some sounds that were not suitable for children.

It was obvious, the boss was up to no good with a woman inside the car.

Long Chen didn’t care, he went up and knocked on the window.

The boss inside jumped in shock and hurriedly got dressed with the woman.

After a bit of commotion, the burly bald boss finally opened the door, furiously demanding, "Who are you? Are you blind?"

"Boss, you still owe us our wages, don’t you?"

The worker quickly asked.

"Oh, it’s you, Lao Li, you brought an outsider to demand your money? How impressive, very good."

The bald boss smiled ironically at the worker.

The worker was startled and looked troubled, hesitating to speak.

Long Chen lightly furrowed his brow and stated, "Today, you need to settle their wages clearly, or else the situation might turn ugly."

"Who do you think you are? It’s not your place to talk, scram."

The bald boss sneered disdainfully.

Behind him, a woman still arranging her hair, also spoke discontentedly, "Nutcase, stuffed with nothing better to do, coming here to cause a scene. We haven’t shorted you on your wages. If you’re trying to play hero, at least weigh your own worth."

"Baby’s absolutely right, I love it."

The bald boss beamed, hugging the woman.

Then, he said to Long Chen, "Get lost then. There’s no money for you, just one life to take, and if you dare, it’s all yours."

"Heh."

Long Chen laughed.

Afterward, Long Chen asked the worker how much he was owed in total.

The worker thought for a moment and said, "About a hundred and fifty to sixty thousand."

"A hundred and fifty to sixty thousand, that’s more than the value of this car."

Long Chen stroked his chin, appraising the bald boss’s Land Rover.

The bald boss’s face darkened: "So you’re dead set on causing trouble?"

"It’s not me causing trouble, it’s you. How dare you withhold the workers’ hard-earned money? What gives you the right?"

Long Chen challenged.

"The money’s there, but their attitude when they ask for it isn’t good, so I just don’t pay. I just drag it out. It’s not like I’m not paying them. If they’re bold, let them sue me."

The bald boss scoffed with a cold laugh.

"Tsk tsk, so brazen."

Mu Sisi pulled out her phone and started recording a video.

"What are you doing? Put down the phone."

The bald boss immediately barked.

"She’s a journalist, and since you want to be famous, we don’t mind giving you a little push."

Long Chen said.

"You’re courting death."

The bald boss flew into a rage, slapping at Mu Sisi, attempting to stop her from recording.

Mu Sisi jumped in fright, quickly stepping back several paces.

Long Chen also took action in time, grabbing the bald boss’s wrist.

The bald boss tried to withdraw his hand but found Long Chen’s grip terrifyingly strong, and he couldn’t pull it back.

In an instant, the bald boss fiercely lifted his foot, trying to knee Long Chen.

Long Chen scoffed coldly and suddenly exerted strength.

"Ah."

The bald boss screamed instantly, the acute pain in his wrist making him unsteady, and he crouched down at once.

"What are you doing? Let go this instant."

The woman shouted urgently, "Someone come quick! There’s a fight, someone’s killing somebody, help!"

Following the woman’s cries, the working men all crowded around.

Seeing the situation, Mu Sisi loudly said, "This boss is maliciously defaulting on paying the workers’ wages, behaving extremely viciously. If you work for him, aren’t you afraid he’ll default on your wages too?"

At her words, the crowd of workers looked at each other, somewhat worried.

"Don’t listen to her nonsense. All of you, come together and take these three down. I’ll give each of you a bonus of five hundred, and I’ll take care of any problems," the bald boss hurriedly shouted.

But when his words fell, no one moved.

After a brief silence, an older worker shouted, "Boss Luo, we venture out to earn money, not trouble. What we deserve, we must get every penny, and what we don’t, even for five hundred or five thousand, we don’t want."

"Boss Luo, if you’re defaulting on people’s wages, I think you should pay up. How else can everyone feel reassured working for you?"

"That’s right, they’re here to collect their dues. It’s only fair."

The crowd began to speak up one after another.

Hearing this, the bald boss seethed, furious and flustered.

Long Chen said calmly, "Do you see? If you don’t handle this properly today, it’s going to be very difficult for you to prosper in the future."

"Don’t fucking intimidate me. If you dare, kill me. Today, I’m bloody penniless."

The bald boss shouted out loud.

"You’re utterly stubborn. Then tonight, let me give you a proper lesson."

Long Chen took out his phone and made a call.
