Chapter 1042

The shout had caused the entire site to go into an uproar.

Countless workers rushed toward the location and the orderly construction site immediately erupted
into chaos.

Jasper and Julian rushed toward the scene the moment it happened, such that the worker from earlier
could not even stop them in time. Not that he had the time to, for he immediately rushed to the office to
search for the person in charge.

Julian was still a trained man, so he ran the quickest and arrived at the scene first.

He took a glance and immediately turned around to hold Jasper back.

“Don’t look, Jasper. It’s a bit unsettling.”

Jasper pushed Julian away and walked forward.

What he saw next was more terrifying than a scene from a horror movie.

Falling from a great height, the man would certainly have died if not for the guard rail and safety net
around the construction.

Jasper saw a young man lying on the floor, his body contorted into a weird angle as weak whimpers
escaped his mouth while he shivered in place.

The sight stunned many of the workers that rushed over. While it was not uncommon for accidents to
happen in construction sites, it was a completely different feeling to see it with one’s own eyes.

Jasper’s complexion paled as well.



He did not expect something like this to happen at his own mega skyscraper. His expression
immediately darkened.

It explained why Julian did not want him to see it.

Just then, the security officer and project manager in charge of the site rushed over as well.

Their expressions changed instantly at the tragic sight.

The security officer was a man with professional training, so he immediately shouted, “Stop looking!
Everyone go back! Secure the area and stop all construction work temporarily! Dial 911!”

Under the efforts of the security officer and a group of officers in charge of site maintenance, order
soon returned to the area.

Just as things were about to calm down, a couple ran over from afar. They wore construction jackets,
so it indicated that they were workers here.

“Oh, my son!”

The woman looked at the young man lying on the ground and wailed. As a mother, one glance was all
it took her to know that this was her son. She was about to pounce on his frail body, only to be held
back by the security officer.

“Please calm down, Madam,” The security officer spoke.

“How am I supposed to calm down? That’s my son!” The woman wailed.

The man beside her paled and stuttered as he asked, “How, how did this happen? He was fine this
morning. How’d he suddenly fall?



“Some, some people have been saying that our construction site’s got bad vibes, that we’ve angered
the gods. It can’t possibly be real, right?”

Someone suddenly asked from the amongst the crowd.

The words caused everyone’s expressions to immediately change.

It was daytime and the sun was blazing above, yet everyone seemed to feel a cold gust of wind rush
from the bottom of their feet to their heads.

“What nonsense is that?”

The security officer shouted, “This is the twenty-first century. What kind of medieval superstition is that?
No one is allowed to speak of this anymore, and I’ll come after whoever brings it up again!
Understood?”

As the person in charge of the entire construction site’s safety, the man’s words held quite a bit of
authority. Thus, everyone immediately shut their mouths.

At the very least, no one would speak of it in front of him.

What happened in private was beyond the security officer’s control.

Exchanging a look with the project manager, the security officer was about to speak when he saw
Jasper and Julian standing by the side.

“Where did you two come from?” The security officer asked with a frown.

Jasper’s nerves had calmed down as well and he replied, “We were just walking by so we came here to
take a look.”



The security officer’s expression changed and he demanded angrily, “Who’s in charge of watching the
entrance today?”

The worker that Jasper was conversing with immediately raised his hand to admit, “It-it’s me.”

“Would it kill you to do your job properly?”

The security officer scolded, “How many times have I told you not to let outsiders come in? Now not
only are they inside but they’ve also gotten involved in this mess too! Do you want to die?!”

The worker glanced at Jasper resentfully and was about to reply when Jasper beat him to it, “It’s not his
fault. He told me to leave, but I heard the commotion just as I was turning to leave. He didn’t have time
to chase me away, but he did his part.”

The security officer harrumphed and glared at Jasper unkindly as he answered, “I don’t care who you
are and what you’re here to do. Please just leave now!”

“Something’s wrong, Jasper.”

Julian suddenly looked up and said after he went to check on the victim and the safety measures at the
site.

Jasper raised a defined brow and turned to Julian to ask, “What is it?”

“There’s a high possibility that this is attempted murder, not an accident.”

Julian’s words immediately caused an uproar.

Attempted murder to look like an accident was a big deal since it would mean that this was a case of
homicide!



Just then, the project manager who remained quiet all this while suddenly piped up. He pointed at
Jasper and Julian and shouted, “Who the hell are you two? This is a matter concerning our
construction site, so it’s not up to you to interfere! Get lost, now!

“Why are you acting like detectives? This is obviously an accident, not homicide! Who’re you trying to
scare?”

Everyone present looked confused when heard the project manager’s statement.

They did not know who to believe.

Not to mention, the project manager’s claim caused Jasper to narrow his eyes suspiciously.

Typically, construction site managers tended to blame any on-site incidences as intentional rather than
pin them as accidents.

After all, the managers had to face responsibility for accidents, and serious cases were even filed
under criminal law.

However, if the accident was criminal behavior, then the managers would not need to shoulder any
responsibility for it.

Therefore, this project manager’s attitude was extremely unnatural.

“A simple investigation will tell you whether this is a case of attempted murder or not. I wouldn’t accuse
anyone baselessly! I checked out your safety measures and there are no major issues with it. Hence,
something seriously wrong had to occur for an accident like this to happen at the site,” Julian replied
calmly.

The project manager glared at Julian harshly and roared, “This has nothing to do with you. You’d get
out now if you knew what was best for you! Otherwise, I’ll have someone chase you away!”
