Chapter 90: The Correct Mining Method

That person looked young, about 25 or 26-year-old. At that moment, he was staring at Xie Zhou warily.

“How did you know I was in here? How did you find me?”

Xie Zhou held the shovel and glanced at him. “Did the person who instructed you to do this tell you why I was released from Xisha Prison?”

The person shook his head. He only knew that Xie Zhou was from Xisha Prison. He was the same. This was also the reason the person behind him hired him to do this.

Xie Zhou said, “I defeated more than 20 prisoners alone and saved three lives. I made meritorious contributions.”

Most of the prisoners in Xisha Prison were evil criminals. They were extremely fierce. It was unrealistic for one person to have defeated more than 20 people.

There was fear in the man’s eyes.

Xie Zhou continued, “I noticed you on the way to the coal mine this morning! You pretended to be a transporter driver and sneaked into Shanbai Village. Although no one else would notice anything unusual, since I was also from Xisha Prison, I could tell that you were different at a glance. Your actions exposed your identity.”

Xie Zhou couldn’t help but think of himself. Since he had been in prison for a long time, his heart had been very numb when he first came out. He couldn’t show the slightest interest in anything and didn’t dare to walk into the crowd. Although he wanted to show other facial expressions, he seemed very stiff. His eyes were always vigilant as he looked around. Because of his daily training, his standing posture was very proper and he was tense at all times.

It wasn’t until he found Xie Chaochao that Xie Zhou slowly changed and slowly escaped from Xisha Prison completely.

“When the coal mine collapsed, I knew that you must have sneaked into the mine. I personally watched over the construction of the tunnels in this mine. The storm definitely would not have caused the collapse, so someone must have tampered with it!”

Xie Zhou was very familiar with the coal mine. As soon as something strange happened, he determined the position and rushed over to catch the person who had tampered with the mine.

The truth was as he had thought.

This person was indeed the one who caused the collapse of the mine.

“Who instructed you to come here?”

The person shook his head. “I… I don’t know either!”

Xie Zhou knocked the ground with the shovel in his hand. The person shrunk his neck in fear.

“I really don’t know!”

The person sounded like he was on the verge of tears. “I was just released from prison not long ago and was thinking of ways to get some money. Then, someone suddenly called me and told me to do something. After I have completed the task, he would give me a large sum of money. I was in need of money so I agreed to it. Then, I followed that person’s arrangements and came here!”

“Why did that person look for you? You don’t know who that person is. Aren’t you afraid that after this matter is resolved, that person won’t give you the money?”

“I… After I received the call, I was also worried about this. However, he had paid me a portion of the money in advance. I feel that such a big shot wouldn’t go back on his word. Of course, I have also secretly investigated the person who got me to do this. Even if he didn’t give me the remaining amount of money, I would still be able to find out who that person is and ask for the money from him!”

The person sounded proud. “If he wants to go back on his word, I’ll publicize this matter and tarnish his reputation! I don’t believe he won’t give me the money!”

Xie Zhou didn’t ask further. He just kicked the shovel to him. “Come here, get to work!”

He also held a shovel in his hand and started digging at the blocked exit.

The person was afraid of Xie Zhou’s force. He could only obediently pick up the shovel and start digging.

The two of them dug silently for a while. Then, the person suddenly looked at Xie Zhou and said, “Your method is wrong. It’s too tiring and the digging speed is not fast!”
