"Is anyone in there?"
The foreman, who was fast asleep, was woken by Zhu Li's voice.
"What is it?" he grumbled irritably.
Hearing a response, Zhu Li immediately let out a cold sneer.
He kicked open the tent flap with one foot.
And walked in himself!
The foreman, who had been trying to roll over and go back to sleep, was startled awake by the loud noise and sat up abruptly.
When he first saw Zhu Li, the foreman didn't recognize him.
"Which captain's subordinate are you? You don't know anything?" he said impatiently.
"I want to rest. Go find your captain if you have something to say, don't bother me!"
With that, the foreman tried to drive him away.
But Zhu Li had come looking for trouble and was not a worker on the construction site at all.
He paid no attention to the foreman's words.
He walked over and stepped on the foreman's stomach with one foot.
His eyes blazed with a hatred as sharp as poison!
"You dog, open your eyes and take a good look at who I am!"
The foreman's sleepiness was completely kicked away.
He took a closer look and remembered.
He had indeed had a worker like this when he worked for a real estate company.
That worker had brought his entire family.
The foreman, finding his wife attractive, had taken a liking to her.
When no one was looking, he had taken her to his tent, intending to have some fun.
Who knew.
That woman was not as pliable as he had hoped.
Not only did she not cooperate, but she also screamed loudly.
The foreman, afraid of attracting attention, covered the woman's mouth.
He accidentally smothered her to death.
Later, to avoid being investigated, the foreman threw the body into the river.
He also warned Zhu Li and told his family to scram.
For many years, Zhu Li had not come to cause trouble.
But construction sites had plenty of young, strong men.
And they all depended on the foreman for a living.
With a single command from the foreman, Zhu Li was always beaten black and blue.
And today he was back again!
"So it's you, you dare to come back!"
The foreman said, narrowing his eyes.
Zhu Li trembled with rage, wishing he could stomp the foreman to death right now!
But he knew.
If he really did that, he and his sister Zhu Hong would be truly ruined!
Now that Zhou Yu was here, he was sure to get his revenge!
Thinking of this, Zhu Li let out a cold laugh, like a vengeful spirit.
He bared his teeth at the foreman.
"If you're not afraid of having nightmares at night, why should I be afraid to come?"
"You can sleep soundly even after taking a human life!"
The foreman shivered, then straightened his neck and said righteously.
"I told you already, your wife's death has nothing to do with me!"
"Get out now, or I'll call for help!"
Hearing this, Zhu Li remembered how he had been beaten black and blue the last time he came to settle accounts with the foreman.
He couldn't help but tremble.
Even the foot he had on the foreman loosened.
Seeing this, the foreman became smug.
Taking advantage of Zhu Li's moment of hesitation, the foreman stood up and tidied his clothes.
Then he said proudly.
"A wise man knows when to retreat. I didn't mean to do what happened back then."
"You don't need to keep bothering me."
"Do you know who is backing me? You can't fight them!"
Zhu Li knew the foreman was telling the truth and couldn't refute him. He could only stare intently into his eyes.
Just then.
Crash—
The tent flap was lifted again.
Zhou Yu stood at the entrance, a half-smile on his face, and asked casually, "Oh? Who is backing you?"
The foreman's eyes narrowed. He hadn't expected Zhu Li to bring someone else this time.
He immediately said, displeased, "What's it to you?"
Zhou Yu was not a man with a lot of patience.
He had only come to help Zhu Li out of an unexpected encounter today.
After being retorted by the foreman, Zhou Yu stepped forward and slapped him.
Crack—
The sound was crisp and clear.
And the force was well-controlled, not sending the foreman flying.
But it wasn't much better.
The foreman's cheek was swollen high.
He clutched his face and stared at Zhou Yu in disbelief. "You hit me?"
Zhou Yu sneered, "And then? Are you going to get the person behind you to talk to me?"
The foreman's eyelids twitched violently, his lips pulled at the corners, and smoke seemed to rise from his head.
He abruptly turned his head to look at Zhu Li and said fiercely, "What do you mean by this? Believe it or not, I'll call the police right now and have you arrested!"
Don't think he didn't know.
Over the years, the foreman had made sure to spread the word to construction sites everywhere.
Preventing the Zhu siblings from finding any work.
The Zhu siblings had never left Yunhai City and had no work. How did they eat and dress?
It was obvious they had to resort to petty theft!
The foreman was certain that if he called the police, the siblings would not only be punished but also implicated for their past actions!
So he believed that Zhu Li would definitely back down after he said that.
Who knew.
The trick that always worked for the foreman failed this time.
Zhu Li chuckled and said directly, "Call them if you dare. I want to see which is more serious, stealing or killing!"
At this point, the foreman was convinced.
Zhu Li had been provoked by something.
Today, he had clearly come looking for trouble.
He was no longer intimidated by the mention of the police!
The foreman's eyes darted back and forth, and then he started shouting at the top of his lungs.
"Help!"
"Someone's been assaulted here!"
Many workers on the construction site were working hard.
Hearing the shout, they all put down their tools and ran to the foreman's tent.
"It was these people, they barged into my tent and attacked me without a word."
"And they even tried to kill me!"
Seeing his men arrive, the foreman breathed a sigh of relief.
He swaggered, pointing at Zhou Yu and his group, and said angrily.
The workers' emotions were quickly stirred up.
Voices of discussion could be heard from the crowd.
"It looks like trouble from the neighboring construction company. We can't let them get away with this!"
"That's right, they dared to barge into our site and injure someone. Don't they have any respect for us!"
"We have to beat them out!"
Listening to the workers' words, Zhou Yu's brows furrowed deeply.
Upon closer inspection, one could see that Zhou Yu was somewhat impatient.
Zhu Li, on the other hand, was getting anxious.
He remembered that when he had come to settle accounts with the foreman before, the foreman had used the same tactic!
As a result, he was driven away by a group of workers before he could even make a move.
Today, with Zhou Yu here, he couldn't afford to fail!
Thinking of this.
Zhu Li stepped out of the tent and took a step forward.
He cupped his hands towards the indignant workers and said, "Everyone, please don't be deceived by this wolf in sheep's clothing!"
"This beast is not a good person. He killed my wife three years ago and blacklisted me from every construction site, leaving me with no work!"
"Now, I have lost everything, and I will make this beast pay the price!"
The workers present were all stunned.
