Nian Xiaomuâs consolation came to effect very quickly.
Manager Hong was able to get back on his feet again and had his injuries tended to first before dismissing the workers in the factory, getting them to go home.
Looking at the order restored at the scene, the color on Nian Xiaomuâs face gradually returned.
The little boyâs family also took him back. Before they were gone, he even showed Nian Xiaomu a huge bright smile.
Those innocent eyes of his filled up Nian Xiaomuâs heart with warmth.
âMiss Nian, the preliminary investigation of the fire has produced results,â Executive Assistant Yang walked to her and reported in a low voice.
Nian Xiaomu raised her head and saw Yu Yuehan standing beside the group of firefighters.
She hurriedly went over.
The captain of the fire brigade team was a very experienced firefighter. After the huge fire had been put out, he found the source and even discovered a lighter which had not been completely burnt because it was buried under a metal cabinet.
Upon seeing Nian Xiaomu, the captain reported his findings.
âIt is highly likely that this fire was a case of arson. The source of the fire is highly likely to be the accounting office. There are many documents inside which are all paper, so they went up immediately when in contact with a flame. Moreover, the accounting office is connected to the storage room, where all the cloth is kept.â
The combination of paper and cloth is the perfect fuel to start a fire. Just by adding a little gasoline, a small fire would blow out of proportion.
The flames would then engulf the whole factory.
And that lighterâ¦
âWill it be possible to collect fingerprints from the lighter?â Nian Xiaomu asked.
Hearing this, the captain of the fire brigade team hesitated for a moment before replying, âThe lighter was quite badly destroyed by the fire, and there was even a huge hole at the bottom. Iâve sent someone to take it back as evidence to investigate. Whether we can collect fingerprints of the arsonist from it, we will have to hand it to the relevant department and wait until they have checked it.â
âThanks for your hard work!â
After Nian Xiaomu had expressed her gratitude, she sent the fire brigade and ambulance away.
She then went to visit those workers who had more serious burn injuries.
Following that, she informed the companyâs public relations department to deal with the media reporters and prevent them from making false reportsâ¦
After a whole day of work, she was exhausted.
On the way home, while resting in Yu Yuehanâs arms, she asked in a gloomy voice, âWho do you think started the fire?â
âDonât you have an answer in your heart already?â Yu Yuehan looked straight at her.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Hearing this, Nian Xiaomu instantly came out from his arms and sat upright, her eyes fuelling with rage.
âWhy canât he come straight at me since the person he wants to deal with is me? Why does he have to hurt those innocent people? The factory is the blood and sweat of those several hundred workers. Just that fire alone has ruined so many peopleâs hopes and dreams. Wasnât he afraid that lives would be lost? Does Mo Kun have any conscience?!â
âMo Kun has no conscience. Didnât you know that already?â Yu Yuehan muttered lightly while gently pushing a few strands of her hair behind her ear.
If he had a conscience, he would not have been so heartless as to harm his own brother back then.
Given that he could be cold-blooded even to his family, why did those strangers matter to him?
âI know that heâs worried that Iâll produce results, so heâs eager to stop me. But, thereâs one thing I donât understand. If itâs just to stop me, I havenât even taken over Project No.3 officially nor even implemented any proposal yet. Isnât he being too hasty by doing this?â
Nian Xiaomu contemplated suspiciously after she had calmed down.
If Mo Kun really wanted to destroy her authority in the company, shouldnât he wait until she had completely taken over the project to stop her? Wouldnât that be more efficient?
âYu Yuehan, do you still remember that the fire brigade captain said that the fire started in the accounting office?â
That was where the accounts were kept!
