It's Love That Blinds Him
It’s Love That Blinds Him – Chapter 149

Despite the same screen and the same red dot, Lucia had left Strinas for the Spanish. Looking at the slowly moving red dot on the screen, Malcolm was expressionless, and the turmoil in his heart at this moment was perfectly hidden.

He wanted to touch her, but he couldn’t. He wanted to know what Lucia was doing, but he didn’t want to check again, fearing that it would cause him to fall back into the abyss. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly in a wry smile. Was he making fun of himself or the current relationship between him and Lucia? Maybe both.

At the mine in South Africa, the scientific research personnel sent by the Evans Group frowned after careful investigation. Calvin impatiently awaited the result. On the other hand, Byron seemed much calmer. They all wore protective clothing to avoid possible radiation here.

” What the hell is happening ? » Calvin couldn’t help but ask.

“Director Lamont, there is some radiation in the mine, but it is absolutely not enough to destroy one person, let alone so many people falling one after the other. There is only one source of radiation. light radiation produced after minerals have been accumulated over thousands of years.” The scientific research staff gave a definitive answer after conducting several surveys.

“Are you saying that these miners might have been infected with radiation before they started working here? » Calvin asked another way.

“Can you say that.” The scientific research staff agreed with Calvin.

Byron listened to the conversation with indifference. If there was no strong radiation in the mine, then there must have been someone deliberately framing the Evans group, or the miners themselves did not know if they had ever been infected by radiation. Miners were always rare. Only those who were extremely short of money or from poor families would be willing to do such dangerous work. Two kinds of thoughts hovered in his mind. For safety reasons, Byron headed to the nearby office.

“Sir. Malcolm, there is no radiation in the mine.” After Byron contacted Malcolm, he reported what had happened in detail over the phone.

“Did a dark force do it?” » A cold voice spoke on the other end of the line.

“No…I have investigated the dark forces in South Africa and those threatening the Evans family, but none of them have taken action, including Lowell.” Byron was also confused.

“An accident?” There was obvious doubt in Malcolm’s tone.

“I’m not sure. I’ll report back to you as soon as possible if there’s any news.” Byron never gave an uncertain answer.

After saying that, Malcolm hung up the phone. Byron put his phone away. With what had happened before, he had even checked the mercenary system, but he found that no one had access to mining. Everything seemed to be too quiet. All sorts of possibilities could lie beneath such tranquility. Maybe it was the peace before a storm, or maybe it really was as peaceful as it seemed.

A sudden disturbance outside the office alerted Byron. He quickly left the office and headed towards the location of the disturbance. When Byron saw the scene before him, he couldn’t help but frown.

Two strangers with cameras entered the mine. With certificates, their identities were known: journalists. Who the hell broke the news to the journalists? Byron thought of everyone possible. Finally, he looked at Calvin, but then he shook his head, denying his own idea. If it were Calvin, he wouldn’t be as surprised as Byron was now.

After all, he wasn’t a good actor. His most primal instinctual reaction was absolutely not wrong.

What had happened that day flashed quickly through Byron’s mind. All the miners present knew that several miners fainted and were rushed to the hospital. However, only Byron and Calvin knew what happened after the miners were sent to the hospital. Now that the other miners were excluded, it was impossible for any miners to tell reporters, because they had never left the mine at all. Moreover, they had no way of knowing the real situation in the hospital.

Byron looked even more confused. The only possibility was… A dangerous light flashed in his eyes and he walked step by step towards the disturbance.

“Director Lamont, according to a reliable source, workers who had an accident at the Evans Group mine were infected by radiation. May I ask if there is a radiation source in the mine? » asked one of the journalists dryly.

“I’m sorry. I don’t know how you got such ridiculous news. I think whoever gave you the information must be deliberately trying to harm the Evans Group. I reserve the right to sue you for your comments,” Calvin quickly retorted.

The two reporters looked at each other, seemingly confused by what Calvin had said. They offered to interview other miners at the mine, but were mercilessly refused by Calvin, who then sent his men to escort the two journalists out of the mine. Thus, the two journalists would be under surveillance to prevent an unforeseen event from happening.

“Let me take you two home,” Byron said suddenly.

Calvin glanced at Byron and said nothing. He wasn’t an idiot and knew Byron worked for the CEO. Since the CEO had sent someone like Byron here, there must be a reason. Therefore, he and Byron had never interfered with each other. They performed their own tasks separately. Since Byron volunteered to take on the task, Calvin had no reason to object. After all, it was good to stay out of trouble.

Looking at the tall and strong Byron behind them, the two reporters were slightly frightened. When they arrived at the entrance of the mine, Byron glanced at the relaxed security guards and made a decision in his heart. He signaled the two journalists to leave, but before they could leave, they were provoked by Byron’s lukewarm voice.

“If there’s a rumor, don’t blame me for being rude to you two,” Byron threatened.

After saying this, he turned around and returned to the mine. In a short time, all the security guards at the mine entrance were replaced by the people Byron had transferred from the Middle East earlier. All this was seen by journalists. They exchanged glances and left the mine. However, Byron underestimated foreign journalists. They were eager to know the truth directly, unlike some national reporters who could be easily affected by coercion and temptation.

Due to the emergency that had occurred in the mine, Calvin held an emergency meeting as soon as possible. He reported the current situation to Malcolm. But before this matter was over, more bad news arrived.

“What did you say? Dead? How could that be?” Calvin paced anxiously back and forth, phone in hand.

The call came from the hospital. The miners who had been sent to the hospital a few days ago had died one after the other. The reason for their death was severe organ failure due to radiation infection. The more detailed reason could only be confirmed after the autopsy, but the idea of ​​the autopsy was denied by the families of the miners, who were currently causing problems at the hospital.

“How did their families know? » Calvin asked the hospital manager sternly.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Lamont. We don’t know either. They showed up at the hospital early in the morning.” The hospital manager was confused.

When he arrived at the hospital early in the morning, he was surrounded by many people. They pretended to be the family members of these special patients. Doctors temporarily chased them away with difficult medical conditions. No one expected such an accident to happen soon after. It was beyond their expectations that the patients’ organ failure would develop so quickly.

“But Mr. Lamont, I don’t think the patients’ organ failure was caused by pure radiation. It was too fast. As for the details, we need an autopsy to confirm, but the current situation …”The hospital manager was in a dilemma.

“I’ll be there soon.” Calvin hung up the phone and rushed out of the office like a gust of wind.

Byron followed him. From what Calvin said on the phone, he clearly knew the matter seemed out of control. When they both arrived at the hospital, they exchanged looks. Calvin entered the hospital manager’s office first, while Byron stayed outside to control the chaos outside.

Soon after, Byron’s men also appeared at the hospital. They used appropriate force to suppress the agitation of some of the patients’ family members. After Byron suggested huge compensation, the family members remained silent for a long time. Then they silently signed the autopsy agreements and the confidential agreements. Looking at the signed agreements one by one, Byron said coldly: “Now that you have taken the money, keep your mouth shut.” If bad news spreads, you can imagine the consequences.”

Then a man distributed checks for a huge amount. The surrounding crowd gradually dispersed after receiving the checks. Byron gave a hint to his subordinates , then entered the hospital manager’s office and met Calvin. He handed the autopsy agreements signed by the family members of the deceased miners to the hospital manager. He looked at the door indifferently and soon focused on the situation in front of him.

“We will arrange the autopsy right away. There will be results in three days,” the hospital manager promised.

“I’m waiting to hear from you,” Calvin stood up and said formally.

The two then left the hospital and returned to the mine. The meeting was held in a tense atmosphere again, and all kinds of emergencies caught everyone off guard. However, the worst situation was not the one they encountered at the moment. While everyone thought that the case was temporarily closed, the next day, the shocking headline of a local newspaper in South Africa once again plunged everyone into a bottomless abyss. “There is

a suspected radiation source in the group’s mine Evans. To date, several minors have fainted and been sent for medical treatment.”

Under the huge headline, all kinds of possibilities and the reporter’s guesses were stated. Such a newspaper alone was enough to shock the local population. After all, South Africa was not a place of absolute wealth. Otherwise there wouldn’t be so many miners in so many mines. The report would lead directly to panic among the mine’s miners.

“Shit…” Calvin slammed the paper and cursed.

“Recycle all newspapers today, no matter how much it costs. Inform the CEO immediately. Hold a video conference,” Calvin quickly gave the order.

Byron read the newspaper silently. Yesterday, the families of the miners received huge compensation, but they had already been executed the second after they were released from the hospital. He did not would leave any hidden danger to endanger the Evans group. So, it was because of the two journalists who appeared in the mine yesterday? Byron regretted letting the two journalists go so easily. It was South

Africa South, not Strinas. There were not only local journalists in South Africa, but also many foreign reporters stationed here. Byron checked the source of the information in the newspaper. This was not a role easy to take on.

The problem was becoming more and more complicated. If the situation could not be controlled, the consequences would be unimaginable.
