Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 328: 327 Someone is instigating

Translator: 549690339

The following day, newspapers, magazines, and internet media were awash with discussions about the Commercial Trade Building accident.

One media report, particularly sharp in tone, hinted beyond mere words. It insinuated that the tower crane accident was not just due to worker’s operational errors and suggested an inside job.

Last night, the police didn’t reveal much to the reporters, only saying they would investigate the cause of the accident as quickly as possible. However, this morning, there were several posts online claiming that recent accidents at construction sites were eventually settled with money.

Other posts claimed that MS Group had won the construction bid for the Commercial Trade Building due to deep relationships with relevant departments. A slight accident like this wouldn’t bother them; hence the suspension of construction would only be temporary. The two workers who lost their lives would just be considered unlucky…

Undoubtedly, these posts aimed to provoke the families of the victims, incite anger and disrupt the peace of MS Group.

Someone even called in, alleging that the MS Group and the construction company were using substandard materials to save costs. The examples given included substandard rebar and cement…

After just finishing her morning routine and before she could leave her bedroom, Wen Ran’s phone rang.

The call was from an unknown number.

Wen Ran looked at the number for a moment, not recalling whose number it was. She hesitated before picking it up, “Hello, may I ask who’s calling?”

“Miss Wen, it’s Wang Yaohui.”

The voice in her ear sounded hoarse.

Concerned, Wen Ran asked, “Brother Wang, why are you calling so early? Is anything wrong?”

“Miss Wen, we agreed last night that you’ll find justice for my brother and Uncle Chen within three days, right?”

“Brother Wang, I keep my promises. You should take care of your sister-in-law and kids first. I’m currently investigating the cause of the accident, and I will let you know immediately once I have the results.”

With a mental shift, Wen Ran replied gently.

“However, I got an anonymous call this morning, saying that the accident involves significant figures and events. At last, it will be downplayed, trivialized, and my brother and Uncle Chen will have died in vain.”

When he said this, Wang Yaohui sounded a bit agitated and moderately angry. If it weren’t for his cousin’s sake, he wouldn’t be so polite to Wen Ran.

He even had a hint of regret.

“Brother Wang, if the person only called you anonymously, you shouldn’t believe in these words. I promise you, I will do right by your brother and Uncle Chen.”

“Alright. I trust you for now. However, it’s not just my trust you need, so be careful.”

Wang Yaohui offered one last piece of advice.

“Thank you for your warning, Brother Wang. I’ll be careful.”

A hint of warmth crossed Wen Ran’s heart. It appeared that the family of the other victim had already believed the fabricator.

After the call, she rubbed her forehead and left the room to call Qin Mu.

At this moment, Qin Mu had just finished a call as well, and was about to pocket his phone when Wen Ran’s call came in.

Seeing her call, a moment of hesitation flashed in Qin Mu’s eyes. He stiffened his lips, then answered, “Hello!”

“Qin Mu, I just got a call from Wang Yaohui. He said that first thing in the morning someone phoned him and told him that yesterday’s tower crane accident affects some higher-ups. They asserted that it will be brushed aside, and the family of the other victim already believes it.”

A layer of gloom lined Qin Mu’s handsome features as he lightly pressed his lips together: “You should stay home and rest today. Both the company and your home are surrounded by reporters. Mo Xiuchen will take care of it when he gets back.”

“I was planning to visit the hospital.”

When Wen Ran came downstairs, Nanny Zhang appeared worried.

“Xiaoxiao already has people taking care of her. It won’t matter if you don’t go for a day. Since the victims’ families are being provoked, you may bump into them if you go to the hospital. It’s better to not go today.”

Qin Mu arrived at the company early in the morning, and reporters arrived shortly after him.

At this moment, he stood tall in front of the floor-length windows. From the rooftop of the high-rise, the entire G City was at his feet.

Nonetheless, standing at such height gave him no sense of superiority. Instead, he felt gloomy as he had speculated last night that some would use this accident to their advantage.

“Alright then! Have you already reached the company?”

“Mmm, I am at the company now. There’s a lot to handle today.”

Qin Mu implied that he couldn’t be wherever she went like the previous days. However, Mo Xiuchen would be home by the afternoon, so she would be safe as long as she stayed home.

“I understand.”

Once Wen Ran hung up, Nanny Zhang worriedly remarked, “Miss, many reporters have come outside, and they’ve asked to see you.”

“Just ignore them. I won’t be going out today, so they’ll leave after a while.”

After breakfast, Wen Ran browsed through a call with Xiaoxiao, today’s newspapers, and news – the plethora of rumors made her feel suffocated.

She finally tossed the newspaper aside, intending to switch to a light-hearted entertainment program when her phone rang again suddenly.

The incoming call was from an unfamiliar number.

“Hello!”

Wen Ran reclined on the sofa; in her voice was a slight chill.

“May I speak to Miss Wen, please? I’m Yang Xinfa from the Municipal Engineering Quality Inspection Bureau…”It was already eleven o’clock when Wen Ran left her house.

Qing Yang was driving, Qing Feng was sitting in the passenger seat, and Wen Ran sat behind, lost in thought.

“Miss Wen, wouldn’t it be better if we notified President Qin?”

Qing Feng looked at Wen Ran through the rear-view mirror and gently proposed. She had suddenly claimed that she had to go out; both he and Qing Yang couldn’t dissuade her.

Wen Ran glanced up at Qing Yang: “No need, he’s busy today.”

“But, Miss Wen, who are you meeting? It’s not the victims’ families, is it?”

Qing Feng frowned. Even though both he and Qing Yang were skilled enough to defend themselves against any wrongdoer, confronting the victims’ families would be impossible.

“Don’t worry, I’m not meeting the families.”

Wen Ran pursed her lips, a chill in her eyes. Her heart was not fully calm; Yang Xinfa’s words echoed in her ear.

She didn’t believe they were true.

The car stopped outside a coffee shop. Wen Ran looked out through the window; seated by the shop’s window was a middle-aged man wearing a black jacket. It was Yang Xinfa, the man who had arranged to meet her.

“Let’s get out of the car. Come in with me.”

After gazing for a moment, Wen Ran instructed Qing Yang and Qing Feng sitting in front of her.

“Alright, Miss Wen.”

Qing Yang furrowed his brows, exchanged a look with Qing Feng, opened the car door and got out. Even if she didn’t allow them, they would still follow her in.
