Chapter 507 The Fire That Came Unexpectedly

The expression on Zhao Siying's face changed from surprise to sympathy. She turned her head and her eyes fell on Lin Yuan.

"Lin Yuan, your life is miserable."

Lin Yuan looked at Zhao Siying's expression and smiled slightly, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

"It's okay, it will be fine after this time passes."

Zhao Siying shook her head, walked to Lin Yuan and chuckled.

"You can't do this, your body will collapse. How about I help you cook? Anyway, I have nothing to do today."

Lin Yuan was stunned and immediately waved his hand, "No, it's just a trivial matter. I don't want to trouble you."

Zhao Siying had made up her mind now. She smiled slightly with a hint of playfulness in her eyes.

"Lin Yuan, are we friends? I'll cook a meal for you. That's okay."

Lin Yuan looked at Zhao Siying, a touch of emotion flashed in his eyes.

He knew that Zhao Siying really wanted to help him, but he didn't want her to risk it.

"Thank you. I appreciate your kindness, but I really don't want you to get involved in these things."

"I can go buy some food for you, but you can't keep eating instant noodles."

After saying this, Zhao Siying left directly regardless of whether Lin Yuan agreed or not.

Lin Yuan sighed, his damn charm!

An hour later, Zhao Siying returned to the apartment carrying large and small bags.

"You're quite fast." Lin Yuan stood up and walked towards the door.

Zhao Siying walked into the kitchen carrying the ingredients, and Lin Yuan followed her.

"I was afraid you were hungry, so I came back quickly."

The two of them handled the ingredients skillfully, and soon, a sumptuous meal was prepared.

Lin Yuan felt helpless. It was better to eat instant noodles. It was too troublesome to cook a meal.

However, it was hard for him to brush off Zhao Siying's kindness.

The two sat at the dining table and chatted while eating.

Suddenly, Zhao Siying's cell phone rang.

She picked up her phone and saw that it was the factory's number, and her heart tightened.

She pressed the answer button and heard a quick voice on the other end of the phone.

"Manager Zhao! Something bad has happened, the factory is on fire!" The voice on the other end of the phone was full of panic.

"What?! I'll be there soon!" Zhao Siying exclaimed, her face instantly turning pale.

She stood up immediately, grabbed her coat and prepared to rush out.

Seeing this, Lin immediately put down the chopsticks in his hands and stood up.

"I'll go with you."

The two left the apartment in a hurry, and Lin Yuan asked his bodyguard to drive to the factory.

When we arrived at the scene, the fire had been brought under control, but the air was still filled with thick smoke and a burnt smell.

The fire truck was spraying water on the fire in the factory, and the water column was particularly eye-catching in the firelight.

The outer walls of the factory were blackened by smoke, and the surrounding warehouses were also affected.

Windows were shattered and flames licked the walls.

Zhao Dewang and the workers were helping to clean up the scene. Their faces and clothes were covered with smoke and dust, and they all looked gray.

Zhao Siying walked quickly to Zhao Dewang and asked anxiously: "Dad, how is the situation? Is anyone injured?"

Zhao Dewang shook his head, his voice hoarse?

"Fortunately, it was discovered early, everyone was evacuated in time, and no one was injured."

After hearing this news, a big stone in Zhao Siying's heart finally fell to the ground.

As the fire was extinguished, Zhao Siying and Lin Yuan stood in a corner of the factory, watching the firefighters busy.

Wearing heavy protective clothing and helmets, and holding tools, they carefully inspected every possible fire point.

After careful inspection, a firefighter came over and took off his helmet, revealing his face covered in sweat.

"Ms. Zhao, we have preliminarily inspected the fire scene. The fire point was the wiring of an old equipment."

Zhao Siying frowned, "We have been using these devices for several years and they have always been fine. How could they suddenly catch fire?"

The fireman's expression was serious. "After the equipment ages, long-term use may cause short circuits and cause fires."

Lin Yuan was observing the scene from the side. He frowned, feeling that something was not right.

He remembers smelling a faint smell of gasoline when he first arrived at the factory.

He interjected: "Is it possible that it's man-made?"

The firefighter glanced at Lin Yuan and said, "At present, it seems that aging equipment is the most likely cause."

"Of course, we will investigate further."

After the firefighters left, Lin Yuan walked to Zhao Siying and said in a low voice: "I think the fire started a little strangely."

Zhao Siying turned her head and frowned, "Why do you say that?"

Lin Yuan pointed to a piece of equipment not far away, "I just smelled a very faint smell of gasoline. The fire was too strong. It's not as simple as an equipment failure."

He walked over to a piece of burned equipment and examined it carefully.

"Look here, these melting marks are very unnatural." Lin Yuan pointed to a mark on the equipment and said to Zhao Siying.

Zhao Siying took a closer look and found that it was indeed the case!

It's possible that this fire was deliberately caused by someone.

"I want to call the police and let the police intervene in the investigation." There was a hint of anger in Zhao Siying's voice.

"Dad, you and the workers should go and take a rest first, and I will handle the matters here."

Zhao Siying was very angry at the moment. Fortunately, the warehouse was not burned, otherwise things would be in trouble.

They have received a lot of orders recently and are still waiting to be dispatched.

If this is set on fire, we will be back to the pre-liberation period after all our hard work.

Zhao Dewang nodded, and he took the workers away from the scene to rest.

Zhao Siying took a deep breath, took out her mobile phone and dialed the police number.

Her voice was trembling, "Hello, police station? There is a fire in our factory."

"It is suspected that someone set the fire deliberately. Please send someone over as soon as possible. The address is..."

The police on the other end of the phone responded quickly and said they would immediately send someone to investigate.

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Siying still felt heavy.

She turned to look at Lin Yuan, her eyes filled with helplessness.

"Lin Yuan, what should we do? The factory has finally improved, but something like this happened."

Lin Yuan patted Zhao Siying's shoulder gently and comforted: "Don't worry, we will find out. The most important thing now is to stay calm and wait for the police to arrive."

Soon, the sound of police sirens broke the silence of the factory.

Several police officers quickly got out of the car and began a preliminary investigation of the scene.

They asked Zhao Siying and Lin Yuan some basic information, and then began to check the factory's monitoring equipment.

A police officer walked up to Zhao Siying with a serious expression.

"Ms. Zhao, we checked the monitoring equipment and found that it has been damaged and cannot provide any useful information."

Zhao Siying's brows furrowed, and she felt that things were getting more and more wrong.

"That's impossible. I checked the surveillance yesterday and it was fine."

When the police officer heard this, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

"We will continue to investigate, don't worry."
