Chapter 161 Is This What You Wanted
There were two mourning tents not that far away from them, and two coffins were quietly put inside
them.
Daniel walk towards the tents and looked at the families of the bereaved. Among them, there was also
a pregnant woman, and she seemed to be extremely grieved. She leaned on the pir and was wailing,
devastated by her loss.
"Hello, " said Daniel.
The pregnant woman then opened her tear-filled eyes and looked at him. She was daunted by Daniel''s
manner of speaking, and in an instant forgot how to even reply to him.
"Are you a rtive of Deal Fu?" asked Daniel. Daniel didn''t mind the woman forgetting to reply to his
salute.
The pregnant woman nodded, "Yes. Who are you?"
Shirley came forward and introduced Daniel to the woman. "This is Daniel Si, the CEO of the SL
Group. He is also the boss of the supervisor of this construction site."
When she heard that the man in front of her was Daniel, the big boss, the pregnant woman
immediately stood up from the ground and shouted at the protesters, who were not that far away from
them, "Everyonee here! Daniel Si is here! We can air our grievance now!"
Daniel frowned.
Hearing the woman''s shouting, tens of workers ran towards them, and they immediately surrounded
the mourning tent.
"Daniel Si, you finally showed up! You are an unscrupulous merchant, and you are treating people''s
lives like dirt. You must give us an exnation, today!"
"Yes! You are an unscrupulous merchant! We want an exnation! And that sly William, he even didn''t
dare to show up!"
"You are not allowed to leave here until you give us an exnation!"
...
Daniel''s appearance at the site had stirred quite a sensation here. Most of the protesters were airing
their grievance against Daniel and his partnering CEO, William Zhou.
Daniel stood silently, listening to every word they said.
Finally, the protesters finished theirints, and everyone had their eyes on Daniel, expecting a
reply. Daniel asked the pregnant woman beside him, "How much money did William give you as
"We didn''t ask for money! No one stood out to apologize after the ident. My Deal can''t even die in
peace!" The pregnant woman suddenly became very emotional, and she stared at Daniel with fury
gleaming in her eyes.
But she immediately looked away because she was again daunted by Daniel''s imposing manner.
Daniel continued to ask, "What about Cedric?"

A construction worker reached out from the crowd, and griped bitterly, "That bastard Cedric only offered
to give us five hundred thousand, but he refused to apologize. He said that he wasn''t responsible for
the tragedy."
At that moment, four cars drove into the construction site, and Cedric, William and some other
supervisors came out of the cars and hastily walked towards the mourning tent.
While still panting, William ran to Daniel, and asked, "Mr. Si, when did you arrive? We didn''t know that
you came here, so sorry for beingte." He stood submissively beside Daniel, with his beer belly
bulging out of his belt buckle.
Cedric spat the areca nut from his mouth, and said, "Mr. Si, please go this way. We''ll handle the protest
from here." His golden ne and golden ring were shining under the sun, and he was asking Daniel
to leave and to let them handle the protest.
Daniel nced at them with a cold look in his eyes, and asked them, "Mr. Zhou, what did I say to you
before about this ident?"
William wiped the sweat from his forehead and stared at Cedric, who was standing next to him. "Didn''t I
tell you to offer one million to solve this problem?" continued Daniel.
One million? Daniel''s look became even more colder by the minute.
Cedric thought that he was done! "Err... Well... We haven''t... reached an agreement with the rtives
yet."
Hearing what he had just said, several workers then immediately rose in rebellion. They became very
furious, and they took up the sticks and nks beside them, and howled, "You offered one person one
million, and another five hundred thousand! We don''t want your money now, we want to beat you to
death! You bastard Cedric! You son of a bitch, you took our hard earned money and ced it into your
own pocket!"
"Yes! We will beat you to death. And William too!"
Within just only one minute, the whole situation had skyrocketed out of control. The workers got
exasperated, and they took up the tools in their hands and beat Cedric.
A couple other dozens of people also started on William. There were so many people in the riot, and
Spark shouted at them to stop, but to no avail, because nobody listened.
In the riot, Shirley was pushed. "Ah!" she screamed. She suddenly leaned backwards and was just
about to fall down on the ground.
Daniel happened to stand beside her, and he reached out his hand and caught her before falling.
Thanks to Daniel, Shirley didn''t fall to the ground. "Thank you, Mr. Si."
She thanked Daniel, but she was still scared of what was happening. At this time, a stick was thrown at
them.
All the workers had now gone berserk, with their eyes burning red with fury. They beat whoever they
saw as being their enemies, and the blow was obviously meant for Daniel.
Daniel had just released Shirley''s hands, and Spark was pulled by several workers. He didn''t notice the
stick over Daniel''s head.
But Shirley saw it, and shrieked, "Be careful, Mr. Si!"
She threw herself on Daniel to bear the blow for him, and the stick fell on her neck and on the back
side of her head.
When Daniel turned his head around, he saw that Shirley had taken the beating for him.
Shirley spat out a mouthful of blood, and her face became very pale. She couldn''t stand anymore and
was ready to fall down on the ground.
Daniel held her in his arms. She fainted.
"That''s enough!" The cold scoldinging from Daniel frightened the workers around him, and they
immediately stopped and became silent.
The workers who were beating William and Cedric had also stopped when they saw what was
happening.
"I came here today to solve your problems. If you had any requirements orints, you just had to
tell me about them! Now my secretary was knocked out. Is this what you wanted?" said Daniel in his
cold manner of speaking. His words were powerful, and nobody dared to utter a single sound.
"When the ident first happened, I told William that money was not a problem. We should have
apologized! But now it hase to this. Will you be satisfied if another person died for this?" After he
finished his words, Daniel handed Shirley to Spark, and with some other people''s help, Spark carried
Shirley to the car.
"Now, everybody sit down, and I will listen to yourints. As long as your demands are within my
ability, I will definitely satisfy them!" Daniel''s strong character shocked everyone present. Theyid
down their tools from their hands and they sat down to hear how Daniel would solve their problems.
Seeing that Spark had taken Shirley to the hospital, Daniel then gathered the direct rtives of the
deceased, and he sat down with them to discuss a solution.
One hour passed, two hours passed, three had passed, and finally Daniel took out two cheques and
wrote the same number on each one: three million.
He then led William and Cedric to the mourning tent, and they each lit candles and incense and bowed
to the deceased.
After showing their respect towards the deceased, Daniel told the pregnant woman, "We are very sorry
for your loss, and when your child is born, I will bear all the expenses for the child until she or hee
of age."
Regardless of all the people''s surprised looks, Daniel then walked to the rtive of another deceased
worker. He said to the mother of the son, "Aunt, we are truly sorry for this ident, and rest assured I
will pay for both your pension, and uncle''s. I send my deepest condolences to you."
The mother was moved to tears, and she held Daniel''s hands, and said, "You are a good man, and my
son will rest in peace now. Thank you! Young man!"
"We are truly very sorry for what has happened!" said Daniel again.
What Daniel did won over all the people''s hearts here. They couldn''t find any fault in his actions.
