"Yo, you bitch, still so arrogant," the foreman retreated a step and waved his hand. The other workers who had been watching coldly immediately stood up and surrounded Shen Qingqing.
The foreman sneered, "Teach them a good lesson."
He was also annoyed by Zhang Xiaotao constantly causing trouble, so it was better to settle it all at once.
Shen Qingqing helped Zhang Xiaotao, who was numb to the point of collapse, to the side and walked towards the men. A few workers thought she was overestimating herself. Seeing her beauty, they had wicked thoughts.
One of them reached out for Shen Qingqing's collar.
She grabbed his hand. The man, not believing it, tried to break free but to no avail. Shen Qingqing glanced at him coldly, a fierce glint in her eyes.
Before the man could react, he felt dizzy and his back hit the ground heavily. He couldn't get up for a long time.
Shen Qingqing's swift and decisive move stunned the others into immobility.
The foreman was also shocked, but quickly recovered. He roared with a dark expression, "Go, get her! No matter how strong she is, she's still a woman and only one person!"
Upon hearing this, they swarmed forward.
However, the reality was completely the opposite of what the foreman imagined. The woman was truly fierce, her punches landing with full force, her movements powerful. With every strike, a man would let out a wailing cry.
When it was all over, several men lay on the ground unable to get up.
Shen Qingqing slowly looked up, her gaze falling on the foreman. Her eyes swept over his neck, chest, and other vital areas. In that moment, the foreman felt as if he were looking at a demon.
"Someone, quickly call for help!"
Only a portion of the workers were eating here; many more were working inside, a total of several dozen people. Hearing the commotion, they rushed out.
The foreman quickly hid in the crowd, realizing his back was drenched in sweat. "Beat her!"
As everyone was about to move forward, a voice rang out from not far away.
"Stop!"
The site manager, Liu Guang, arrived and frowned at the mess on the ground. "What's going on here?"
The foreman immediately stepped forward to complain, "Manager Liu, we were working here peacefully, and this woman came to cause trouble. When I told her to leave, she used her skills to beat up my brothers."
Liu Guang looked at Shen Qingqing. Upon seeing her face, his pupils contracted, and he was too shocked to speak.
The foreman, however, continued to babble in his ear, "Manager, you must do justice for our brothers!"
Liu Guang said nothing, turned around, and kicked the foreman!
The foreman was sent sprawling onto his bottom, his hat falling off. He was shocked and confused. "Manager, why did you kick me?"
Liu Guang glared at him fiercely, then turned to Shen Qingqing. His expression changed from sternness to respect and fawning. "Ms. Shen, why didn't you notify us in advance about your visit to the construction site? I would have guided you. It's my negligence that they offended you."
Everyone was dumbfounded. They had only seen others fawn over the manager, never the manager fawning over someone like this.
Who was this person?
The foreman, clutching his aching stomach, got up and asked in a low voice, "Manager, who is this woman?"
"Shut up! Did you just call her a woman?" Liu Guang reprimanded, "This is our site's investor. Without her, there would be no construction site. Your wages are all paid by her!"
Everyone's faces turned pale. Just now, they had wanted to lay hands on her…
They were insane!
The foreman's arrogance vanished completely. He didn't even dare to breathe heavily, his mind filled with three words.
He was finished.
Shen Qingqing's gaze fell on him. She suddenly smiled faintly. She was incredibly beautiful, captivating, but the foreman didn't dare to appreciate her, feeling a chill run through him.
She looked around, picked up a steel pipe from the ground, walked over to Zhang Xiaotao, who was staring at her blankly, and handed her the pipe.
"Go and break his leg to avenge your brother."
Zhang Xiaotao trembled all over, her eyes dazed, her expression panicked. But her hand instinctively gripped the steel pipe as if it were her last lifeline.
Hearing this, the foreman's face turned deathly pale, and he turned to run.
Shen Qingqing didn't even need to speak. Liu Guang had two workers hold the foreman down.
"If you don't go, you'll miss this opportunity," Shen Qingqing was willing to help Zhang Xiaotao, even let her take revenge herself, but only if she could stand up.
Zhang Xiaotao looked at the steel pipe, her mind blank. She thought of many things, of her brother's pale face in the hospital. He was so young, and now he would be permanently disabled.
She hated him so much.
She slowly got up, her face covered in tears. She walked up to the terrified foreman, all her hatred turning into fierce resolve.
She raised the steel pipe high and smashed it down!
"Ah!"
The foreman's leg was twisted at an unnatural angle, and his screams echoed throughout the construction site.
Zhang Xiaotao stumbled back a few steps and collapsed on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably. Even though she had avenged herself, thinking of her brother, she was still overcome with pain.
"Get up."
A pair of high heels appeared before her. Following the woman's slender, long legs, Zhang Xiaotao saw Shen Qingqing's bright yet cold face. "Crying is useless. Get up and take me to the hospital to see your brother. Perhaps he can still be saved."
Did she mean… she would help save her brother?!
Zhang Xiaotao quickly scrambled to her feet. "Okay, okay, I'll take you. I'll take you right now."
As they were leaving, Shen Qingqing glanced at the foreman and said to the manager, "If anyone on our construction site is injured on duty, they must be compensated. But if someone is seeking revenge… it has nothing to do with us."
"Don't worry, Ms. Shen. I know what to do."
Liu Guang was a smart man and immediately understood her meaning.
The foreman was in too much pain to even cry out. Hearing this, his face turned deathly pale. This meant there would be no compensation, and his leg was broken for nothing.
…
Zhang Xiaotao and Shen Qingqing arrived at the hospital and first went to see her brother. He was asleep, so they went to the doctor's office to find the attending physician.
Upon seeing Zhang Xiaotao, he immediately said, "Why are you only coming now? Are you going to treat your brother's leg or not?"
"Doctor, didn't you say there was still hope before?" Zhang Xiaotao quickly asked, "Can we avoid amputation? He's still young, his life is long. If he loses his leg, how will he live?"
The doctor sighed, "I wouldn't suggest this treatment unless it was absolutely necessary. But your brother's leg has been neglected for too long. It was originally treatable, but it requires a special medicine…"
"I'll buy it, no matter how much it costs!" Zhang Xiaotao, thinking the doctor was worried about money, said anxiously.
"It's not about money. You can't buy it even with money now. His condition is very serious. If surgery isn't performed within three days, the diseased cells will spread, and the worst outcome is paralysis."
