Chapter 88: Shanbai Village’s Security Team

The elders placed the stools they had brought on the ground and sat down in a line.

Seeing this, it was an even bigger headache for Wang Zhongshan.

“Uncles and aunties, are… are your families all workers from the coal mine?”

Grandpa Yang, who was the oldest, had a face full of wrinkles. He could not see clearly and his ears were not working well.

His voice was very loud as he shouted at Wang Zhongshan, “What did you say? Louder! I can’t hear you!”

Wang Zhongshan could only shout at the top of his voice, “I said, are you all here to look for your families?”

“Come closer and tell me, I can’t see clearly!”

Wang Zhongshan could only bend down and move closer to Grandpa Yang.

However, he did not notice that when the elders who came with Grandpa Yang sat down, they all subconsciously distanced themselves from him.

Grandpa Yang shouted, “We are from the security team. So many strangers have come to our village. We were worried so we came to maintain order.”

When he said that, everyone was stunned.

Shanbai Village actually let a bunch of elders who were trembling as they walked form a security team? Were they insane?

Wang Zhongshan also felt that Shanbai Village was very strange. However, it was not the time to think about this. If anything were to happen to these elders here, it would be over for him.

“Elders, the rescue team is arriving soon. Don’t worry, we will do our best to rescue the workers who are trapped underground. We will definitely give you an explanation. It is too chaotic here. You should go back first!”

Fatty’s grandma chimed in, “It’s fine, go do what you have to do. Don’t worry about us. We’ll just watch here. We won’t cause you any trouble!”

Wang Zhongshan still wanted to persuade her, but Reporter Liu had already brought people over.

He shouted at the top of his voice, “Grandpa, we are reporters from the television station. If you have any grievances, you can tell us. Don’t worry, we will definitely handle things professionally and not cover up for anyone. Your family members are trapped down there, we will definitely uphold justice for you!”

Reporter Liu spoke with a strong sense of justice, looking very selfless.

“Uncles and aunties, are any of your families trapped down there?”

Grandpa Yang pulled him closer by the sleeve and shouted, “Come closer! I can’t hear you.”

Reporter Liu looked at his sleeves that were being pulled on and almost vomited.

It was covered in a sticky liquid. It was Grandpa Yang’s mucus.

No wonder those people were so far away from Grandpa Yang!

An old woman said, “My son is down there!”

Hearing this, Reporter Liu couldn’t care less about his mucus. He immediately aimed the microphone at the old woman. “Did your son mention his job to you? When they went to the mine, were all the safety measures in place? How was the environment inside? Did the boss exploit the workers?”

Although he had already done an on-site inspection, it was a live broadcast. He asked again, and under his guidance, it would be even better if someone said something bad about the coal mine.

The old woman said, “My son went down for the first time today. I don’t know what’s going on inside either!”

Seeing that he could not get anything out of her, Reporter Liu went to a different person.

This time, he had picked a disabled person, who happened to be Sun Chengfu’s uncle.

“Big Brother, is your family member trapped down there too?”

His uncle said, “No. I’m the leader of the security team. I’m here to maintain order!”

“Were you a coal mine worker in the past? Did you injure your legs in the coal mine?”
