Chapter 275: The Conspiracy Has Been Seen Through

His one leg was suspended in mid-air; presumably, that leg's position also suffered some injury.

Leader, I'm really sorry, I'm late, I'm really late.

While saying that, he quickly walked over and then placed those things at the head of the bed.

That person merely turned his head to look at him.

Are you Xiao Ming?

That's right, it's me, I'm Xiao Ming. Leader, look, I'm really sorry, such a thing actually happened at my construction site.

Do you know that this is illegal production operation?

Yes, I know, but Leader, do you know that they have now investigated and found that the steel cable had been tampered with?

That's right, I already know this result, so I also think you should also be a victim of a frame-up, but the key issue is that this incident occurred at your construction site, Xiao Ming; no matter what, you also have an inescapable responsibility.

Yes, I definitely admit this point; no matter the circumstances, I will definitely take responsibility. However, Leader, I actually have some issues, so I specially rushed over today to discuss this with you.

What issues?

I find it strange; at that time, I heard my project manager once tell me that several people were at the first floor, then they were introducing the construction situation; at that time, why did you alone go up to the third floor?

Because I heard some movement upstairs.

What? Movement? No, besides those workers working there, there shouldn't be any other movement; are you referring to the construction noise?

No, I heard a child's voice.

You, what are you saying? A child's voice? How could that be possible? How could there be a child at my construction site? Leader, were you hallucinating then?

No, I heard it clearly; there really was a child's voice.

But, but I don't recall my project manager ever mentioning this.

That's right, because normally you all can't hear it; only I can.

You, what are you saying? Others can't hear it, but you can? What do you mean by that?

Xiao Ming listened, bewildered, and felt as if these words weren't meant for him to hear.

Let me tell you this: my hearing is superior to that of ordinary people.

What? Superior to ordinary people?

That's right; sometimes I can hear things that you might not be able to hear. I still can't explain this matter; it might be related to the trauma from a car accident I had seven years ago.

Car accident trauma? You mean that after your car accident, you realized your hearing is very sharp?

Yes, normal people hear sounds around fifty decibels, but sounds lower than that are inaudible to ordinary people, yet I can hear them.

That means, in principle, that sound isn't very loud, so after you heard it, you followed the sound to its source.

Exactly, that's what I mean; that's why I kept searching and ended up on the third floor.

But even after you reached the third floor, why did you go into the elevator? Isn't there still room to search on the third floor?

Yes, because after I walked over, I discovered a pencil case on top of the elevator.

What? A pencil case? How could there be such a thing at my construction site?

I was also puzzled, so I curiously walked straight over, picked it up wanting to see what was going on; at that very moment, the elevator suddenly dropped.

Listening to his description, Xiao Ming truly couldn't believe his own ears.

All of this is like a conspiracy, and step by step it will drag them into that trap.

First hearing the sound, then seeing a pencil case just placed on the elevator; Leader, don't you think all this is a trap?

That's right; at first I indeed didn't think that way, but after I learned the test results, I realized this must be a trap.

If it really is a trap, then, speaking for me, this trap should have been set up for you.

Yes, it was indeed set up for me, but I have no grudge or enmity with these people; could it be that I offended someone else at another time? But that shouldn't be; if I offended them, why would the incident happen at your construction site?

So this is something I've never been able to explain: why did the incident happen specifically at my construction site?

Sigh, thinking about it, it's really hard to put into words; but rest assured, I have already formally reported this matter to the investigators; next, we'll see whether they can actually dig out the person responsible.

Good, if that's the case, then naturally it couldn't be better; by the way, Leader, how is your leg now?

Femur fracture, pelvic bone crack; now I'm just resting in bed, but the doctor says the situation is fairly optimistic, probably about half a year, and I should be able to fully recover.

Good, if I recover, that would be best; however, Leader, rest assured, all subsequent expenses, including all losses, will be borne by me.

Alright, I won't let you take any money you shouldn't bear; as a person, I understand how to handle matters and people.

After hearing that, Xiao Ming merely nodded.

I originally thought this person would be hard to communicate with, but I didn't expect that communication would now go so smoothly, and it seems he has no intention of blaming himself at all.

Leader, I have one more thing I'd like to ask.

Sure, go ahead.

Your hearing is abnormal compared to ordinary people; who knows about this?

Who knows? Quite a few people know; after I showed this condition, I specifically told my unit colleagues, so most people are quite aware.

Unit colleagues? In other words, this isn't a secret; many people will know about it, right?

Yeah, I estimate they also mention it unintentionally in their daily chats, so this probably isn't a secret.
