the knife of love

Chapter 154 Serious injuries, self-destruction

The word "the victim's body" made Tang Jingcheng's chest twitch again. He rushed to the door and wanted to vomit it out, but there was nothing in his stomach, so he couldn't vomit it out, but his whole body felt numb.

Su Jue wiped his forehead with his hand, and went to hold Tang Jingcheng's arm.

"Go and sit in there for a while."

She shook her head, pushed Su Jue's arm away, and leaned against the door weakly.

"How many corpses were burned in total?"

"..."

Su Jue didn't answer.

Tang Jingcheng sneered. In the morning at the Yudu Hotel, Radumin had already revealed the figures. Hundreds of lives were laid on the ground.
"How does Su Fan plan to accommodate the families of the victims?"

"There will be a pension."

"How many?"

Su Jue closed his eyes: "What exactly do you want to know?"

"I want to know how much you Su Fan are willing to spend to buy hundreds of lives!" Tang Jingcheng's words were compelling.

Su Jue looked at her red eyes from the heat, shook her head, and smiled: "This is not something you should know!"

"I shouldn't know or you don't have the guts to say it?"

Su Jue was speechless again.

Tang Jingcheng forced him to look at him: "You look at me and answer me."

What does he think?
He always knew that this woman had eyes that could seduce and kill.

"I won't answer you!" Su Jue still bit her to death.

Tang Jingcheng pushed open the door and pointed to the smoky hilltop in the distance. More than 100 people died, and many others were still buried under the pile of sand and gravel.

"Can you cover up the facts if you don't answer? Can you just burn the body and pretend nothing happened? Radumin told me this morning that all the miners have signed life and death certificates. If an accident occurs, you will not I will be responsible, I just want to confirm something with you, isn't that right?"

She wanted to break the casserole and ask the end.

Su Jue looked at her cold eyes and squeezed her fingers: "Yes, what Radumin said is the truth. There were clauses in the labor contract at the beginning, and every miner also signed on it, so like this In this case, we will only pay part of the money.”

"A portion? How much?"

"Rarely, converted into RMB may not be enough for you to have a dinner at Yunling's high-end restaurant." Su Jue's words poured Tang Jingcheng from the head to the bottom like a pot of cold water.

How can you do this?

"And what about the injured miner?"

Su Jue closed his eyes again, maybe he wouldn't have such patience if someone else asked him these questions.

"The injured miners have been sent to the hospital. As for the treatment results, if we don't spend any more energy on managing them, all the injured will be paid in one lump sum."

In other words, whether you die or live, Su Fan will no longer bear any responsibility.

Tang Jingcheng leaned on the wall and sneered: "For the money of a dinner, do you think a seriously injured miner can be healed with the money of a dinner?"

This is the "self-destruction" that Radumin said in the morning!
Su Fan shook his head, this woman is still too naive.

"Since you asked about these things, I might as well tell you that when encountering such a catastrophic accident in Pagan, what is often lacking is not money, but emergency medicine and doctors."

There is only one hospital in the town that can provide medical emergency in the entire mining area. There are not enough doctors and medicines.

Like last night's accident, once dozens or even hundreds of people rush to the hospital, a few doctors in such a small hospital can't treat it. In addition, the medical equipment is outdated, and blood transfusion alone may not be enough for first aid. Do it because the hospital does not have a blood bank.

Of course, there may be one in Myitkyina, but the mountain road is rugged and the transportation is inconvenient, and people who are transported to Hakant may have died.

These are inescapable realities, but Tang Jingcheng doesn't know it.

Not only did she not know, but she could not understand.

"Su Fan has always claimed to be a conscientious enterprise. Every year in China, you will allocate funds to charity organizations. Why do you blindly evade responsibility when this kind of thing happens?"

"Evading responsibility? We followed the original contract for every payment and settlement. I don't think we are evading responsibility!" Su Jue spoke eloquently, and the expression on his face was so calm that there was no ripple at all.

Tang Jingcheng couldn't connect him with the man under the U Bein Bridge who kissed him in the afterglow of the sunset.

He was so gentle then, but now he is as cold as ice.

"But that earthwork is from the Sufan mining area."

"So what? Abandoned earthworks like this are everywhere in the mining area. We have also erected warning signs around the earthworks, and private digging is strictly prohibited. Can anyone listen? No! In this case, Su Fan is not a charity! Tang Jing Cheng, I told you earlier that I am a businessman, do you know what is the biggest characteristic of a businessman?"

Su Jue suddenly approached.

Tang Jingcheng seemed to see the Su Jue whom he had just met at the beginning again, his eyes were always filled with coldness, which made people feel inaccessible.

"The biggest characteristic of a businessman is that no matter what he does, he always takes profit as the premise, and maximizing profit is the quality that every businessman must possess!"

Su Jue's cruel and cold words.

Tang Jingcheng leaned his back against the door and couldn't help shaking.

For a long time, she fixedly looked at the indifferent man in front of her, with sweat on her forehead, and suddenly said, "You are not a good person."

"..."

"Who told you I was a good person?"

"For a brief moment, I thought you were."

She thought that Su Jue might be different from Su Hongzhi and Su Zhan. Although his feelings for Yao Xiaotang were based on profit, she could feel the gentle and considerate side of this man in the details, but in the end she was too innocent.

Su Jue was bewildered by her sudden dazed and fragile gaze, closed her eyes again, and leaned over to hang the mask on her ears.

"Okay, as you wish, I'm not a good person, let me, who is not a good person, take you to a place now."

Su Jue led Tang Jingcheng out of the bungalow.

The thick smoke on the other side of the mountain is still rolling, but the sour smell in the air has dissipated a little.

The sun is still blazing, hanging above the head like a fireball scorching the mountains and hills, and the grayish-yellow dust that rises in the air seems to never stop.

Su Jue took Tang Jingcheng's hand and walked across the grass in front of the bungalow, onto the narrow road to the mining area.

Heavy trucks loaded with stones kept coming on the road, and Tang Jingcheng could feel the whole ground trembling when passing them.

The entire hill was filled with the roar of excavators.

Su Jue finally took Tang Jingcheng to a mining area. The mining area was on a gentle slope. The excavator tore large holes in the vegetation and the hillside. Dozens of miners rolled up their trousers and jumped into the entrances. Water from the ground came out. Come, wet the soil and gravel on the surface, it will soon be muddy.

The miner bent down and squatted in the mud, digging with his hands and tools, with his back under the scorching sun, his face and clothes were already covered with mud...

"There are dozens of mines like this in this mountain alone, and each mine employs an average of [-] miners. Dozens of large and small mining accidents occur in the entire Pagan mining area every year. You can count how many people will be buried here. .” Su Jue’s words were clear.

Tang Jingcheng looked at the workers who were working in the mining area. Everyone had almost the same expression. Their eyes searched in the mud and rocks, and they kept repeating the same movements.

"Hapakant is the first place in the world to discover jade, and it is also the place where Myanmar produces the most jade and the best quality of jadeite. October to April of the next year is the peak season for jadeite mining in Hakant, and the annual average output of jadeite can reach Around 10 to 4 tons."

Su Jue listed some more data.

Tang Jingcheng sighed: "Why are you telling me these things?"

"I just want you to know that the truckloads of stones that are transported out of Hpagan every year are dug out by hand by these miners day and night. Maybe it's not enough for me to have breakfast at Yunling."

"So you want to show off your capital superiority to me?"

"No!" Su Jue pointed to the shacks that can be seen everywhere on the mountainside, "Did you see that? That's their residence, where their wives and children live. If they don't work in the mine, how will they support their families? ?”

This is the law of survival.

Su Jue looked at Tang Jingcheng with a calm face: "You are different from them. You have never had to worry about money since you were born, but do you know how many people in this world are still running around for three meals a day?"

"Yes, I was born superior, what about you? You are the son of Su Hongzhi, a criminal capitalist who specializes in exploiting the surplus labor of these poor people. How have you ever suffered?"

"Why not? Before I was 13 years old, I lived in a basement of only a dozen square meters, with a curtain in the middle. I did my homework on the side of the curtain, and my mother did business on the other side of the curtain!"

This is the childhood that Su Jue doesn't want to recall in his life.

Half of his body is the noble blood of Su Shi, and half is the humble dignity of his mother.

"Haven't you heard it mentioned by people in the industry? My mother used to be a prostitute in a karaoke hall, and she gave birth to me with Su Hongzhi by chance. I suffered more pain and poverty than you imagined, even very To a large extent, I may not be able to match these miners, so what position do I have to sympathize with them? Besides, is sympathy useful? This world has always been like this, power rules everything, and the poor can only live like this."

Su Jue didn't know why she wanted to tell Tang Jingcheng these things, as if she suddenly uncovered the deepest scar in her heart.

"Also, you asked me why I didn't save those who were injured in the landslide, I'll take you to see the reason now!"

He pinched Tang Jingcheng's wrist again.

Tang Jingcheng's thoughts were still stuck in what he said just now, and when he regained consciousness, he had already brought her to the road again.

This man seemed to burst out some kind of power that had been suppressed in his body today.

After walking for about five or six minutes, Su Jue led Tang Jingcheng to a stop in front of a large pile of earth and rocks.

Looking up, the hills are probably piled up to a height of more than ten meters.

Apart from them, there were many people gathered at the bottom of the hill, including old people, children, and even many dark-skinned women. Those people chattered Burmese, with irritable and serious expressions, and looked like they were not workers in the mining area.

Tang Jingcheng didn't know what so many people were doing here. Could it be that they were basking in the sun on a hot day?
