Wang Huaigu was confused.

“Don’t speak too soon? What do you mean?”

He was getting old, and he really couldn’t understand that joke.

Lin Bai said, “It’s nothing. I just want you to stop saying things like retiring after you’re done.”

“But I really want to retire…”

“Don’t say that either!”

“Okay.”

Lin Bai was very tired.

‘Why did he have to voice out his decision so soon? Isn’t he afraid that something will happen to him?’

Actually, it was not only Wang Huaigu who was traumatized by the previous mining accident. Lin Bai was also traumatized.

Although Lin Bai did not personally witness the tragic scene at that time, nor did he directly bear the pressure of various compensation and medical expenses.

But those were real human lives after all!

As long as he thought of so many innocent people dying in his territory, Lin Bai felt very uncomfortable.

He would never allow such a thing to happen a second time.

“Strengthen the security and put all kinds of protective measures in place for me. Don’t save money on this, understand?”

Lin Bai said this in an unprecedentedly serious tone.

Wang Huaigu nodded repeatedly. “Don’t worry about that. I wouldn’t dare to save this money. I’m really scared!”

“Okay, that’s good.”

He had asked all the questions he wanted to ask and also got the clues he wanted. Lin Bai planned to go back.

He was about to say, “Call me if there’s anything.” but he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

It would be best if there were no more such calls and no more accidents.

He didn’t want to make sweeping statements too soon.

With this thought in mind, Lin Bai said to Wang Huaigu, “I’ll be leaving then. You should go back to your work.”

Wang Huaigu said politely, “I’ll send you off again.”

Just as Lin Bai was about to say something, a buzzing sound suddenly rang out in his mind.

It was the buzzing sound of his superpower being interfered with!

Lin Bai was completely stunned.

‘What is going on?’

‘Are there people with superpowers nearby?!’

Lin Bai looked around in shock and saw someone walking out of the gate.

“Stop him!”

Lin Bai shouted without thinking.

That person was so scared that he started to shiver. Then, he started to run away without looking back!

Wang Huaigu was completely stunned. He didn’t understand what was going on at all.

The security guard at the entrance reacted quickly and immediately stepped forward to stop him.

Who would have thought that the man would be so mad that he would directly break through the security guard and continue running out!

Lin Bai could only chase after him personally!

His body had been modified by the supreme-ruler-tier combat technique that the system had rewarded him with. Be it in terms of strength, endurance, or agility, they were all far superior to ordinary people.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Bai had already caught up to the man and successfully pushed him to the ground!

“Why are you running? !”

Lin Bai questioned sternly.

The man who was being held down was a man in his thirties. He was fair and thin, and he wore a pair of thin-framed glasses. He looked refined and elegant, completely different from the miners on the mine.

Lin Bai suspected that he had sneaked in from the outside.

At this moment, Wang Huaigu, who was in a daze, rushed over.

He recognized this man at a glance.

“Accountant Li?”

“Mr. Lin, this is our accountant, Li Wenze. Is there a misunderstanding here?”

Lin Bai pressed him down hard. Such close contact made Lin Bai’s mind buzz non-stop.

Therefore, Lin Bai was very sure that there was no misunderstanding. The guy he was holding down was a man with superpowers!

Moreover, his reaction just now was very telling.

If he had no ulterior motives, why would he run away?

Lin Bai sneered, “I don’t think there’s any misunderstanding. Wang Huaigu, this accountant of yours is very problematic.”

Wang Huaigu’s face stiffened. “What do you mean? Did he falsify the accounts? !”

“…”

Lin Bai was speechless for a while. He cursed silently in his heart. ‘Can’t you broaden your train of thought a little? Must an accountant necessarily falsify accounts? Can’t there be any other problems?’

However, Wang Huaigu couldn’t be blamed for this. He didn’t know what kind of supernatural ability he had. The most logical problem he could think of was, of course, related to falsifying accounts.

Lin Bai said, “I don’t know whether he made false accounts or not. But today’s matter is definitely related to him.”

Wang Huaigu’s face turned completely sullen.

“It just so happens that the two police officers haven’t left yet. I’ll immediately invite them over!”

“Don’t!”

Lin Bai stopped him and said, “Don’t tell the police yet. Find me an empty room… forget it, just take me to his dormitory.”

Lin Bai suddenly changed his mind halfway through his sentence because his intuition told him that he would gain more by going to accountant Li’s dormitory.

Therefore, Lin Bai felt that he should follow his intuition.

Of course, the miners on the construction site all lived in collective dormitories. Accountant Li’s family was out of town, so he also lived with them.

However, his treatment was slightly better. He could stay in a single room.

Wang Huaigu hesitated for a moment. He remembered that Lin Bai had given him so much help before, so he made up his mind and decided to listen to him.

“Okay, follow me!”

Lin Bai picked Accountant Li up from the ground. Accountant Li took the opportunity to escape.

In the end, Lin Bai only used one hand to control him.

“Behave yourself! Otherwise, I don’t mind breaking your arms and legs and dragging you back!”

Lin Bai warned coldly.

Perhaps his expression was too ferocious, accountant Li had a moment of fear.

But this emotion quickly turned into resentment.

He glared at Lin Bai, the black pupils in his eyes rapidly expanding, almost dyeing all the white parts of his eyes black.

However, this state only lasted for a moment before it completely disappeared.

His eyes returned to their normal state, as if the strange moment just now had never happened.

Lin Bai said coldly, “It seems that this is how you bewitched Feng Tiezhu, right?”

“Save it. This little power of yours has already lost its effect.”

When people with superpowers came into close contact with each other, the energy would interfere with each other, and the strong would suppress the weak.

If both sides were at the same level, they would lose their superpowers together.

Lin Bai had verified this rule countless times.

But obviously, Accountant Li didn’t know about it yet.

After hearing Lin Bai’s words, he looked extremely shocked, as if he didn’t believe that he would lose his superpowers.

He didn’t give up and tried again, and tried again..

After repeating this a few times, he finally accepted this fact dejectedly.

His bewitching ability, which he was proud of, could no longer be used.

Accountant Li’s entire body was like a deflated rubber ball. He was so weak that he allowed Lin Bai to carry him around. He could no longer muster the slightest bit of resistance.

He didn’t know why his ability had suddenly disappeared. He only thought that Lin Bai had used some kind of method to suppress it.

Being able to suppress his ability meant that Lin Bai’s strength was far stronger than his.

What was there to resist? It was just a futile effort.

Accountant Li soon arrived at his dorm.

Lin Bai asked him rudely, “Are you going to open the door yourself, or do you want me to search for the key before opening the door?”

Accountant Li’s face was ashen. He said, resigned to his fate, “I’ll open the door myself.”

Therefore, Lin Bai let him go.. He didn’t have any other thoughts and obediently took out the key to open the door.
