Chapter 3017: Chapter 3017: An Unexpected Accident

"How much poorer is the quality?"

"There’s no real difference in quality, just a lot more stones mixed in that need to be sifted." Zhu Jinlong said:

"I can offer you a cheaper price."

"That works."

Although this place was not clean, Lin Yi didn’t plan on using improper means to resolve the issue.

Everything would go through the business process, as long as the ore’s quality was fine.

"Then let’s go, I’ll take you over there."

"Alright."

After the business discussion, the three of them each got into a car.

Zhu Jinlong led the way to another mining site.

The distance wasn’t far, about 20 kilometers, but the road was quite rough, taking a full hour to reach.

This mining site was also bustling, but the surrounding environment was even more rundown, with a big gap compared to the previous site.

It was hard to imagine that in today’s society, there were still such places.

At the entrance, both cars stopped one after the other, and they walked into the mining area.

Many people came up to greet Zhu Jinlong, including several managers, each one physically imposing with tattoos all over.

Upon seeing Yu Siying, their eyes constantly roamed over her body.

Yu Siying had long been accustomed to such blatant gazes.

Being strong herself, even if these gangsters all came at her at once, they wouldn’t be able to harm a hair on her head, so she naturally wasn’t afraid.

However, the suffocating environment inside made Yu Siying frown.

If a state-owned mine was like heaven, then this place was the eighteenth layer of hell.

There wasn’t even the most basic of safety equipment, and if something happened, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The most ironic part was that there was a big sign overhead with the words "Safe Production" written on it.

This made Yu Siying feel incredibly surreal.

Zhu Jinlong lit a cigarette, casually saying:

"This is my first mining site, been in operation for almost thirty years. There’s not much left, a lot of impurities, but the quality of the ore is definitely fine. Offering it to you at 1600 per ton."

Lin Yi nodded, "Can you give me some samples? I want to take them back for testing."

"That’s no problem. In business, everything should prioritize the customer’s needs." Zhu Jinlong laughed heartily:

"I’ll have someone pack some samples for you to take back and test at your will."

"There won’t be any difference between the samples and the actual shipment, right?"

"Of course not. In business, if I couldn’t at least be honest about that, I wouldn’t bother trying to make a living on the streets." Zhu Jinlong crushed the cigarette under his foot, saying:

"You’re all sensible folks, so I’ll be straightforward. If you don’t trust the samples, you can go into the mining area yourself and pick some out to take back."

Although Zhu Jinlong gave off a strong gangster vibe, his words were forthright, clearly confident in his products.

"It’s settled then. I’ll collect some samples later."

"Alright, let’s exchange contact information so we can get in touch if anything comes up."

"Sure."

After exchanging contact details, Lin Yi and Yu Siying prepared to leave.

But just at that moment, they heard an explosion followed by cries for help.

"Something’s wrong! It’s collapsed!"

Yu Siying was the first to react upon hearing this.

"Quick, call the police and organize a rescue!"

Driven by his instinct as a firefighter, Lin Yi immediately sprang into action, rushing toward the scene.

But after taking just a few steps, Zhu Jinlong blocked his path.

"No need to panic, brother, it’s not a big deal. If the police get involved, my mine’s done for."

"A mining disaster occurred, and you’re not organizing a rescue? What are you planning to do then?" Yu Siying questioned coldly.

"There aren’t many people down there, a few deaths are just part of the understanding; we’ll just pay some compensation when the time comes."

This indifferent response left Lin Yi and Yu Siying looking grim.

"If we hadn’t encountered this, I wouldn’t concern myself with how you handled things." Lin Yi said:

"But since we did, I’m afraid you’ll have to excuse us."

Upon hearing Lin Yi’s words, Zhu Jinlong’s expression shifted.

"Brother, if you do this, you’re cutting off my livelihood."

"That’s on you, then. You have only yourself to blame." Lin Yi replied:

"Your only option now is to call the police, organize a rescue as soon as possible, and reform your other mining site."

Zhu Jinlong’s eyes narrowed with a cold gleam.

"Brother, if that’s how you feel, then I can’t let you go."

Lin Yi raised his eyebrows, looking at him, "What, are you going to detain me?"

"If you’re disobedient, I’ll have to keep you here." Zhu Jinlong said darkly:

"And I’m not afraid to tell you, there was once a journalist who sneaked in here, trying to expose us. After I caught him, I killed him outright. If you’re going to be unruly, you won’t get out of here, and the most that’ll happen is two more deaths. I don’t care."

With that, several of Zhu Jinlong’s men surrounded Lin Yi and Yu Siying.

Following closely, over a dozen more people surrounded them.

Wielding iron bars, they were ready to strike on Zhu Jinlong’s order.

"Handle this, I’ll call the police." Lin Yi said.

"Alright."

Saying this, Lin Yi took out his phone and dialed 110.

Even though he wanted to buy the ore here, nothing was more important than human lives, and a rescue effort had to be organized immediately.

Seeing Lin Yi take out his phone, Zhu Jinlong’s eyes turned red.

"Get moving, snatch his phone!"

Over a dozen fierce individuals rushed at Lin Yi.

But with Yu Siying guarding him, getting to Lin Yi was as tough as reaching heaven!

The first to rush up was kicked away by Yu Siying with a flying kick, sending the brawny man of over 1.9 meters tumbling.

This scene terrified Zhu Jinlong.

Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that this seemingly frail woman could possess such strength.

"What the hell are you all standing around for! Hurry up and get her, losing to one woman, aren’t you ashamed?"

The dozen or so enforcers, mostly with criminal records, were inured to risk.

In this situation, they cared about nothing else, each exuding an aura of menace.

But with Yu Siying present, they were no match.

In less than two minutes, she had them all knocked down, each sporting an injury, and someone even had a leg broken by her.

This paralyzed Zhu Jinlong with fear, cold sweat streaming down his face, immobilized.

"Who exactly are you people? You’re so amazingly strong."

After finishing the emergency call, Lin Yi put away his phone.

"We’re all business people, which is why I can talk to you calmly," Lin Yi said:

"If you cooperate honestly, you might at least keep one mining site. Otherwise, I won’t buy your ore, and I’ll make sure both places are shut down."
