My sister regretted sending me to the correctional facility.

In a moment of quick thinking, I decided to dodge their questions.

"I owe money? Whom do I owe money to?"

The person on the other end saw that I was acting like a rogue.

They were all furious.

The knives they're holding are no joke.

This thing stabbed me.

That means a white knife goes in, and a red knife comes out.

Then we can set up a feast.

"Lu Yi, are you playing dumb? We're warning you, if you don't pay back your debts, don't blame us for being ruthless!"

Two men were brandishing knives in front of me, constantly threatening me.

Seeing their expressions, I immediately calmed down.

These two people look fierce and menacing.

But in reality, they were just putting on an act to scare me.

They really tried to kill me with a knife.

These two people probably don't have the guts.

After I saw through the true nature of these two people.

My heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

However, I still can't relax too much, lest I really push the other party too far.

Even a cornered dog will jump over a wall, and a cornered rabbit will bite.

I said cautiously, "I have no grudge against you. If you really kill me here, not only will you not be able to get the money from me, but in this society, there are cameras everywhere on the streets."

“I die, and then your murder is captured on camera, and in the end, you two will also be sentenced to death.”

Is this the ending you wanted to see?

At that moment, I saw that my words had moved the two robbers somewhat.

Their expressions were clearly different from before.

The two robbers gradually showed expressions of pain on their faces.

"Then what can we do?"

“You owe someone money, and you don’t pay it back, so they’ve forced us to come and collect it.”

"If we can't get our money back, they won't give it to us!"

I listened to the two robbers ramble on and on.

Gradually, I began to understand what the other person meant.

I started to speculate.

These two are probably ordinary working people, the lowest level of laborers.

However, they were just laborers working on the construction site below Liu Chaoyang.

Because Liu Chaoyang was cheated out of money by Zhao Ming.

This resulted in him not having the money to pay his workers' wages.

Then the workers went and found Liu Chaoyang.

But Liu Chaoyang said he had no money unless the two workers could come to him to get their money back.

Only then could Liu Chaoyang pay the workers below his salary.

I sorted things out in my mind like this.

The events that were unfolding before my eyes suddenly became perfectly logical.

So I tentatively asked, "Are you working for Liu Chaoyang?"

The other person looked at me in surprise.

"How did you know?"

The two robbers were still thinking to themselves that they hadn't revealed their identities from beginning to end.

Why was I able to identify them so accurately?

However, now that I know who the visitor is...

Then things will be easier to handle.

So I comforted the two of them: "To be honest, things aren't as Liu Chaoyang said. Someone does owe him money, but that person isn't me."

These two people were staring at me with unwavering stubbornness.

"Boss Liu said that the person who owes him money is named Lu Yi!"

"Are you named Lu Yi?"

I nodded.

"That's settled then! Paying back debts is a matter of course, so hurry up and pay back Boss Liu!"

The two robbers, in a fit of rage, picked up their knives again.

I'm completely speechless now.

It's difficult to even have an in-depth conversation with them.

However, as long as we don't give up, there are always more solutions than problems.

I said, "Boss Liu isn't short of money; he was just cheated, so he's unwilling to distribute his money to his subordinates."

As a result, the other party turned their attention to me.

"It must have been you who tricked Boss Liu!"

Upon hearing this, I was choked up and couldn't utter a single word.

"It's really not me!"

I helplessly explained that Zhao Ming was the one who framed Liu Chaoyang, so why did I end up taking the blame?

However, I know that Liu Chaoyang himself is not a good person either.

This person has always operated in a way that involves both the legitimate and criminal worlds.

Therefore, Liu Chaoyang had done this kind of thing quite often before, such as withholding or delaying wages.

This person's dark history is easy to uncover.

It's just because Liu Chaoyang has a strong background that he has been able to thrive in Jiangcheng all this time.

They wanted Liu Chaoyang to settle the workers' unpaid wages.

We need to come up with something truly shocking that will frighten Liu Chaoyang.

Recently, with Lin Xia's help, I've been researching Liu Chaoyang's past experiences, and I've discovered something quite strange.

This happened a year ago, also due to a wage arrears issue.

A middle-aged man rushed into Liu Chaoyang's office with a knife.

He publicly threatened Liu Chaoyang, demanding that the owed wages be settled today!

This incident caused quite a stir back then.

The company's CEO was attacked by a migrant worker who stormed into his office with a knife and held it to his neck!

Liu Chaoyang was terrified that time; it was also the closest he ever came to death.

Finally, Liu Chaoyang compromised and immediately settled the bill with the migrant worker.

Because once someone does something, others will follow suit, and soon someone will imitate the first migrant worker.

Liu Chaoyang was constantly filled with anxiety because of this group of people.

He strengthened company security and hired private bodyguards to protect him.

It was on the third day after the incident.

A man's body was mysteriously discovered by someone on the riverbank.

That man was the first migrant worker to ask Liu Chaoyang for his unpaid wages.

This incident caused a huge uproar.

However, the media coverage was suppressed.

The people below are all speculating.

The migrant worker who died was murdered by Liu Chaoyang.

However, no evidence was found, and Liu Chaoyang had been staying at the company the whole time, so there was no motive for the crime.

The incident ultimately ended in an accidental drowning.

I looked at the two robbers in front of me.

Suddenly, I remembered something that happened a year ago.

So I asked, "Do you know Sun Lei?"

Sun Lei?

Upon hearing the name, the two robbers exchanged glances, their faces showing surprise.

I can tell from their reactions.

These two people seemed to know the migrant worker who had drowned.

"know."

They both nodded.

I continued, "Do you know how Sun Lei died?"

The two answered, "They drowned."

"Was it really drowning? Or was it caused by someone else?"

When I said that.

The two of them fell silent simultaneously.

After a while.

One of them said with a grim expression, "Before Sun Lei died, he drank with the two of us. I remember it very clearly. He was very happy that night because he got his salary. He was on good terms with us, so he treated us to barbecue."

Another person clenched his fist: "But unexpectedly, on his way home, he was suddenly pushed into the water. Because he couldn't swim, he drowned."

I took a deep breath and looked at the two people in front of me with a serious expression.

"So, was his death related to Liu Chaoyang or not?"

Upon hearing this, the two immediately showed expressions of fear.

They dare not say.

But I told them that as long as they told the truth, I would definitely find a way to help them get back the wages that were rightfully theirs.

So the two of them made me promise again and again that I would never tell anyone what they had told me.

I swore an oath to God in front of them before I gained their trust.

"Sun Lei's death was orchestrated by Liu Chaoyang!"

“He was afraid that because of Sun Lei’s case, more and more people would imitate Sun Lei and go to him to demand their unpaid wages.”

"So he had Sun Lei killed to make an example of him!"

"After Sun Lei died, no one dared to ask him for his unpaid wages."
