The rope had indeed snapped in the air, and the incision was in the shape of a tear. It seemed that it had indeed been an accident caused by the rope.

However, Shi Man’s sharp eyes still noticed a strange place on the cut.

There wouldn’t be such a big mistake at the event location that Yi Zheng personally supervised, but the matter happened after he left. Shi Man couldn’t help but suspect that someone was amiss. Her eyes drifted around thoughtfully, and finally landed on a man with an abnormal expression who was trembling as he put away his cell phone.

She pouted in the direction of the person. Tang Zhe immediately understood and went forward to twist the person’s arm and send him over.

Shi Man sized him up and confirmed that she had never seen this person before. She narrowed her eyes and hooked her finger. “Give me your cell phone.”

The person looked flustered and hurriedly covered his pocket. “Why? Are you my leader? This is my personal privacy. Even if you’re my leader, you can’t just look at it.”

Shi Man sneered and looked impatient. “Give it to me.”

The person still held his pocket tightly. He glanced at Yi Zheng in a panic and quickly looked away.

Although Tang Zhe did not know Shi Man’s intentions, he had long treated her as another master. He immediately snatched the cell phone from the man’s pocket and handed it to her.

That person glared angrily with his scarlet eyes and hurriedly reached out to snatch it. As he struggled under Tang Zhe’s shackles, he shouted, “Who are you? What right do you have to snatch my cell phone? Do you believe that I’ll call the police to arrest you?”

“Then call the police.”

Shi Man slowly slid open his phone screen and found the social media app that had been opened recently. She flipped to the video of the accident at the scene and said coldly, “I suspect that this matter has something to do with you. Come to the office with me.”

“What does it have to do with me? What has this got to do with me? Don’t malign a good person!” The person hurriedly looked at Yi Zheng for help and said with an aggrieved expression, “President Yi, President Yi, this really has nothing to do with me. Xiao Liu fell from above himself. I was down there at that time. 1 really didn’t do it!”

“It has nothing to do with you. Come back to the office with us first.” Yi Zheng gave Tang Zhe a look and turned to leave.

Tang Zhe immediately understood. He held the man’s arm and said, “Are you leaving on your own, or should 1 get someone to carry you over?”

“No, no, no. I, I know I was wrong!” The person seemed to be afraid of being involved in this matter and hurriedly begged for mercy. “I’ll delete the video, okay? 1’11 delete it immediately!”

Shi Man returned the phone to him expressionlessly. The person was stunned for a moment and quickly deleted the video with trembling hands. Then, he swallowed nervously. “Can you let me go now?”

“What’s your name?” Shi Man’s dark eyes stared straight at him.

That person stole another look at Yi Zheng’s expression and shrank his neck timidly. “They all call me Dali.”

“Yes.” Shi Man’s intimidating gaze finally moved away from him.

Before that person could heave a sigh of relief, he heard Shi Man say coldly, “During this period of time, look for Tang Zhe to clock in every day. Everyone else has to sign in on time at the sign-in office as usual. You’re not allowed to be late. Otherwise, all your bonuses for this month will be deducted.”

When the surrounding workers noted the trouble they were in, they immediately gasped and hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Only then did Shi Man let them go and follow Yi Zheng back to the office that had been temporarily built with colored steel plates at the event location. At this moment, the person in charge of this project was in the office. When he saw the two of them return, he hurriedly made way for them.

Yi Zheng saw that Shi Man’s fingers were red from the cold and personally poured her a cup of hot tea. He said thoughtfully, “Did you see something just now?”

Everyone’s eyes immediately stopped on her. Shi Man took a sip of tea calmly, her eyelids twitching slightly. She shook her head regretfully and said, “It looks like it was indeed an accident. I’m afraid the project will be suspended. If we can’t find the real reason for the accident as soon as possible, I’m afraid it will be very difficult to obtain the approval of the higher-ups to resume work.”

When the manager heard this, he hurriedly wiped the sweat off his forehead and said with a difficult expression, “I’m afraid this is an oversight on our side. It’s our responsibility. We should contact the family as soon as possible to compensate them. Otherwise, once this matter ferments, it will be even harder to clean up.”

Shi Man looked up at him and said calmly, “Who was at the scene when the fall happened?”

The leaders of the various departments in the room looked at each other, but only a thin man in the corner raised his hand and said in a small voice, “I was there. At that time, I was the one who said that there was a problem with the machine and asked Secretary Tang to go over.”

“Yes.” Tang Zhe nodded and admitted, “At that time, I went to check the machine and asked Xiao Zhao to temporarily replace me in the project of watching the the top.”

Shi Man raised her eyebrows slightly and asked the rest of the people to leave first.. Then, she invited him to sit opposite her and said in a gentle voice, “Then tell me, what did you see?”
