Chapter 957: Fire in the Warehouse
Jian Ai could not help but admire Old Master Ji’s methods. Before he abdicated, he even gave the last bit of warmth to the Ji Group. He was indeed an experienced person who relied on his sharp methods to make the Ji Group the number one in Asia.
If she had the chance, she really wanted to learn from Old Master Ji. With his rich experience, she would benefit greatly if she could learn some knowledge.
However, just as Jian Ai was sighing, Si Yue suddenly walked out of the room with the phone. “Brother Bai Zhou is calling!”
Jian Ai couldn’t help but sit up. Only then did she realize she had left her phone in the bedroom!
Taking Si Yue’s phone, Jian Ai said, “What’s wrong?”
On the other end of the phone, Bai Zhou only said one sentence, but it made Jian Ai suddenly jump up and say in shock, “What?”
Returning to her senses, Jian Ai quickly said, “I’ll be right there!”
“What happened?” Si Yuehan couldn’t help but ask worriedly when he saw Jian Ai’s reaction.
Jian Ai’s face was as cold as ice. She said, “The warehouse in the western suburbs caught fire!”
Without waiting for Si Yuehan to react, Jian Ai had already rushed to the door to change her shoes. Seeing this, Si Yue quickly chased after her. “I’ll go with you.”
…
In the western suburbs of Baiyun City, the fire alarm sounded. Before they arrived, they could see thick smoke from afar.
When Jian Ai arrived, the rescue work was still ongoing. I cordoned the scene off. Bai Zhou, Chi Yang, and Liu Fei, who was in charge of the warehouse, were watching from the side.
“What’s going on?”
Jian Ai came closer and asked Bai Zhou.
Seeing this, Bai Zhou looked around and pulled Jian Ai to a corner before saying, “The fire started suddenly, and it was ferocious. Liu Fei had already seen it in an out-of-control state when he first discovered the fire. We still have to investigate the exact cause of the fire, but I suspect that someone started it.”
Jian Ai’s expression was not good. From the moment she learned the warehouse had suddenly caught fire, her first instinct was that someone had started it.
Bai Zhou continued, “Liu Fei patrols the surroundings of the warehouse a few times every day. No obvious source of fire can escape his eyes, so this matter is probably not that simple. The method of arson also needs to be investigated.”
Jian Ai nodded and couldn’t help but look back at the warehouse wrapped in thick smoke. She asked worriedly, “If something happens to the colored steel glass inside, it will be a huge blow to the company.”
“Don’t worry. With Chi Yang’s barrier, such a fire can’t destroy the colored steel glass. Fortunately, I was careful enough to let Chi Yang cast the barrier. Otherwise, we would have suffered heavy losses,” Bai Zhou said.
Jian Ai was relieved when she heard this. However, on second thought, an unknown anger rose in her heart.
Not that she was targeting the Jian Group, but since they had done something to East Sea Real Estate before, Jian Ai first thought of the Jian Group when the warehouse in the western suburbs caught fire.
However, she still had to investigate this matter clearly. If it was another company who did it, East Sea Real Estate would be surrounded on all sides.
Because the fire was bigger, the fire suppression work lasted for a long time. After the fire was extinguished, they could not enter immediately. They had to wait until the density of the smoke decreased to the point where it was harmless to the human body. This would take almost a day.
Helpless, Jian Ai waited for the fire to go out before leaving the scene with Bai Zhou and the rest.
