Chapter 548 Setting the Mountain on Fire
Chapter 548 Setting the Mountain on Fire
[Everyone was talking and laughing together, but he insisted on squeezing next to others, lit a cigarette and smoked it fiercely, and even deliberately flicked the ashes onto the pregnant woman's belly.
The pregnant woman, out of consideration for her unborn child, had to give in and leave the room to get some fresh air.
Zhang Junjie's face turned extremely ugly and his palms were sweating.
[The Butt-Kicking Expert: Unexpectedly, Zheng Junjie followed her out and continued smoking in the corridor. The pregnant woman had no choice but to keep changing locations. In a panic, she slipped and fell to the ground.
She's still lying in the hospital bed trying to protect her pregnancy, and you're just talking nonsense. You're really lucky!
Zhang Junjie: "Master Ling, did she cast a curse on me? That's why I'm like this now. Cough cough cough..."
Mei Ling'er noticed the man's cough and asked, "Have you been feeling unwell recently?"
"Yes."
"It shouldn't just be a cough, right?"
"Yes..." the man said with a bitter face, "I've been having chest tightness and shortness of breath lately, and my heart is aching."
Mei Ling'er: "It seems that this matter has affected your physical health. If it is not resolved quickly, your life may be threatened."
"Really?" Zhang Junjie said in a panic, "Master Ling, please help me!"
I originally thought you were ridiculous and pathetic, but after reading the comments from those in the know, I think you totally deserved it. Master Ling, please leave him alone and let him learn his lesson.
[Right! To put it bluntly, he doesn't care about his own life, and he actually wants to harm a pregnant woman. Don't you like smoking? Now you can smoke as much as you want!]
He could even smoke so brazenly in front of a pregnant woman. It's easy to imagine he smokes wherever he goes, never caring about other people's feelings. The constant stream of resentment from everyone led to the consequences he has to endure. How can someone like this be saved?
……
"Why are you so inhumane?"
Mei Ling'er said calmly, "Isn't what the comments said true?"
Zhang Junjie immediately became anxious, "I... I just... have a strong addiction to smoking..."
"Oh?"
For the sake of his own life, Zhang Junjie hurriedly promised: "As long as you save me this time, I promise that I will never smoke in public places again!"
[Still smoking???]
[You're really asking for death... You still don't quit smoking even though you're in this state! ]
[Smokers stink worse than a cesspool! Master Ling, just leave these stinkbugs alone!]
"Don't, don't, don't..."
"I quit smoking! I quit smoking!"
"Master Ling, please help me!"
Mei Ling'er glanced at him. The man had a strong yin aura. "This matter is not that simple. You haven't told me the whole truth yet. Did anything else happen during the team building?"
Zhang Junjie grabbed his hair and said distressedly, "Apart from smoking, I really didn't do anything else... You must believe me, I dare not lie now."
"Master Ling, is he lying? He'll do anything to save his life."
Mei Ling'er took a sip of boiled water and said calmly, "The team building site is only an hour's drive away. If you forget what you did, you can go and try to regain your lost memories."
"Okay, I'll drive over now."
While waiting for the traffic light on the road, Zhang Junjie saw that most of the comments on the screen were cursing him. He really didn't expect that everyone would have such a strong hatred for smokers. The man began to reflect on his behavior: "Everyone in the live broadcast room, please forgive me. I really know I was wrong. After I get better this time, I will definitely quit smoking and persuade those around me to quit smoking."
"Also, all the money I've earned from working as a slave will be donated to the Hope Project."
Nothing is more important than life, and money is merely a fleeting possession. With this awareness, you won't be drawn to the temptations of nicotine. However, if your life weren't threatened, you probably wouldn't have this awareness either.
[He has already realized his mistake, so please give him a chance...]
We have no right to forgive him. Pregnant women and people who inhale secondhand and thirdhand smoke will judge him.
The green light came on, and the car behind Zhang Junjie honked its horn. The man hurriedly started the car and continued towards the team-building destination.
The team building site is located at the foot of the mountain. The boss built several villas and wooden houses in the camp. Even at night, it is brightly lit, and there is even a group of people chatting in front of the campfire.
Zhang Junjie walked to the fire, rubbing his hands and asked, "Master Ling, this is it."
"Do you want to start the ritual?"
Mei Linger glanced at the screen and said, "Not here, go to the back mountain."
Although Zhang Junjie was a little confused, he still did as Mei Ling'er said and walked to the back.
"Wait a minute!" A man in work clothes came over and stretched out his hand to stop him, "Mr. Zhang?" He recognized Zhang Junjie.
"Yes...it's me." Zhang Junjie admired the other party's good memory very much, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Are you here alone today?" The staff member smiled slightly, "I can arrange a room for you."
"No..." Zhang Junjie waved his hands, "I came here today... for something else."
The staff member nodded and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "I saw you were planning to go to the back mountain."
"Yes." Zhang Junjie rolled his eyes and lied, "A colleague said the view from the top of the mountain is good. I want to go up and see the stars and the moon."
Is it really that romantic? It's like a line written by Qiong Yao.
"Okay, but please be careful," the staff member reminded. "During the days you were here for team building, someone started a fire on the mountain and burned a lot of flowers and plants. Fortunately, it rained heavily that night, otherwise the fire would have spread to the foot of the mountain and affected our camp."
"A wildfire?" Zhang Junjie looked incredulous. "Which idiot started the fire? Doesn't he know that setting a mountain on fire will result in a life sentence?"
"Sigh..." The staff member sighed heavily. "Government officials come to promote this every year, but we haven't seen anything like this in a long time."
Zhang Junjie said indignantly: "Firefighters risk their lives to put out forest fires. I'm really impressed by these idiots!"
"I didn't realize you were such a sentimental person."
"Huh?" Zhang Junjie scratched his head. "Isn't this a normal human reaction?... I remember when I was a kid, the mountain where we visited graves burned down, and someone was arrested. They said a cigarette butt set the mountain on fire. The person was sentenced to decades in prison. Then a sign was put up on the mountain that read, 'Setting the mountain on fire means life imprisonment.'"
"My elders are all buried on that mountain. When my father heard that the mountain was on fire, his eyes turned red. He said that the people underground can't rest in peace..."
The staff member opened his eyes wide, "There is also a solitary grave in the burned area on the back mountain."
