Chapter 1977 Crisis (Part 2)

The person carried out was Uncle Ming. Of course, there was no need to rescue him because he was no longer breathing.

The man on the stretcher was unconscious, with many parts of his body burnt. His identity could be barely recognized on his old face. When Dongfang Liuyun saw clearly, his whole body went limp.

It was Uncle Ming for sure.

He had been with Old Dongfang for many years, and was alone. After Old Dongfang passed away, he retired. He had been serving the Dongfang family all these years and was very good to Dongfang Liuyun.

Uncle Ming was also the old man that Dongfang Liuyun respected the most besides Old Dongfang, so she could hand over Debaozhai to him with confidence. She didn't expect that something like this would happen...

Obviously, when she came here a few days ago, this kind old man said that he must attend her wedding with Qi Lei, but...

...

This disaster came very suddenly, and the loss was also huge. Dongfang Liuyun's Debaozhai was almost destroyed, and even another store next to it was affected.

The fire started burning around 10pm and was not put out until almost midnight.

Dongfang Liuyun felt dazed and just stood there.

Qi Lei was very worried and asked Yang Sheng to come over to deal with the aftermath. There would probably be disputes later. Of course, the main reason was the cause of the accident.

Qi Lei himself knew that the maintenance workers had come to check the natural gas pipeline in person a few days ago. Uncle Ming was also such a cautious person that he would not make such a big mistake.

"Mr. Qi, why don't you send Madam back to rest first, and leave this to me. I will take care of Uncle Ming's aftermath, and please rest assured about the things here."

Yang Sheng saw that Dongfang Liuyun looked very bad, and naturally there was some worry in his eyes.

"Well, call us if you have anything."

Qi Lei left this sentence, and then helped Dongfang Liuyun walk to the car.

...

All this happened so suddenly that Dongfang Liuyun was also caught off guard.

In the car, Dongfang Liuyun didn't say anything. She was in a state of contemplation, and Qi Lei didn't bother her.

There was no expression on her face, but a trace of deep pain could be seen from her brows.

"Drink some water, don't be too sad, the police will investigate the matter clearly, I'll run you a bath, you take a good bath and rest early, ok?"

In the Shengshui Villa area, Dongfang Liuyun sat on the big sofa in the living room, and Qi Lei considerately poured her a glass of water.

Dongfang Liuyun stretched out his hand weakly to support his dizzy head. He took a few breaths and spoke hoarsely, "I still can't believe this is true. Uncle Ming is a very cautious person. How could he..."

"Don't think about anything. I see you are not in a good condition. Go upstairs and rest for a while. I will arrange the specific things."

"Well, I always feel that I can't breathe. Don't let grandma know about this for the time being. I originally wanted to go back to see her tomorrow."

Dongfang Liuyun thought about it and ordered it. He took the water and drank it.

"Let's talk about it after you get up. Uncle Ming... I will arrange it."

"Well, this matter, I always feel too abrupt. Please help me find out what's going on. Recently, these ominous feelings are getting stronger and stronger. I always feel that this matter may not be simple. Uncle Ming... I'm a little... sad..."

Dongfang Liuyun couldn't control the bitterness in his voice and couldn't speak any more.

"Let's see what's going on first. If there's anything, wait until tomorrow. Go upstairs and have a good rest now."

...

Dongfang Liuyun, who looked dazed, finally went upstairs under Qi Lei's urging.

Such a big thing naturally could not escape the media. Even though Yang Sheng had tried very hard to suppress the news, it was already reported in the newspaper the next morning.

Yang Sheng had almost not slept all night and rushed over early in the morning.

At dawn, Yang Sheng had already arrived at the Shengshui Villa District.

Qi Lei also got up very early. When Yang Sheng came over, he had already prepared breakfast.

"Sit down and have breakfast together, while we talk."

Qi Lei put the plate in his hand on the table in front of him, pointed to the seat opposite him, and motioned Yang Sheng to sit down.

Yang Sheng naturally did not hesitate and sat down, and Qi Lei also poured him warm milk.

"Thank you, Mr. Qi."

Yang Sheng took the milk.

"How is it?"

Qi Lei picked up the knife and fork and began to enjoy breakfast elegantly, while asking.

Yang Sheng took a sip of milk and then spoke, "The police are already investigating the cause of the accident. I asked someone to check the nearby surveillance cameras overnight. Nothing unusual was found in the hours before the accident. Debaozhai was open as usual. There are also many customers coming and going, especially now that it is close to the end of the year. There will be a large-scale antique auction held in the International Art Exhibition Hall in a few days, so that street is more lively than usual."

"Also, the police will send Uncle Ming's body for an autopsy, so..."

Yang Sheng hesitated.

"Then try your best to cooperate with the police. The matter must be brought to light. Go and check to see if any unusual people have entered Debao Zhai recently. Also, go and find out about the natural gas company. The family members involved , be sure to appease them and don’t let things cause conflicts.”

Qi Lei explained very neatly.

Yang Sheng nodded, "Don't worry, Mr. Qi, I've already made arrangements. The police are very efficient. We just need to pay more attention. The person investigating this matter this time is none other than Captain Wang."

"Captain Wang, who is responsible for my mother's matter?"

Qi Lei listened, but he raised his eyes and looked at Yang Sheng without being salty.

Yang Sheng nodded, "Yes, it's him! The original incident was able to be found out. In addition to everyone's efforts, it was also thanks to his efforts."

"Speaking of which, I haven't even thanked him properly."

Qi Lei spoke in a low voice, lowered his eyes thoughtfully, and thought for a moment before continuing, "Follow through the recent affairs of the Dongfang family and see who has any abnormalities."

"Master Qi, do you suspect that someone is attacking the young lady again this time?"

Yang Sheng frowned.

"There have been too many things happening around her recently that cannot help but make people suspicious. Even if it is not the case, it is always good to be careful. Just go ahead and do it."

Qi Lei took a calm breath, thinking of Dongfang Liuyun, and felt a little uneasy in his heart.
