Chapter 179: Chapter 179 The Warehouse is Burned

Hearing the news, Qin Tian’s brows instantly furrowed.

Someone actually dared to burn down a warehouse belonging to a subsidiary of the Murong Group, weren’t they being too bold?

If they didn’t have the backing of an evil force, it’s unlikely anyone would dare to do such a criminal offense.

Therefore, Qin Tian’s first thought was that the Brother Alliance might be involved in this matter.

”How about I accompany you?” Qin Tian said to Murong Fei.

”My sister is still upstairs. Just take care of her for me. I’ll be safe with Uncle Wang protecting me,” Murong Fei said as she walked out of the hall.

However, from Murong Fei’s words, Qin Tian could easily tell she wanted him to protect Su Xuejiao, and mentioned she had Uncle Wang’s protection, which implied that Murong Fei might already have a guess on who the arsonist was.

Seeing that Murong Fei didn’t want him to go, Qin Tian didn’t say much more and went back to sleep.

Murong probably returned to the villa after three in the morning and had to rush to the scene around eight the next day.

Since it was the weekend, Qin Tian insisted on going with Murong Fei no matter what, and without a choice, she agreed, asking Uncle Wang to stay home and watch over Su Xuejiao.

Su Xuejiao wanted to go too, but was stopped by a stern look from Murong Fei.

When Qin Tian drove Murong Fei to the site of the burned warehouse, the scene was a mess and riddled with damage.

The security guard explained that this was a warehouse of over three thousand square meters, used to store construction materials for Murong Construction, a subsidiary of the Murong Group. Since Murong Construction had been busy completing a project recently, this batch of materials was very important and needed on the construction site in a few days.

But unexpectedly, it was burned to the ground last night!

There were supposed to be four security guards on duty, but a group of masked men rushed in, knocked all four guards unconscious, and by the time they came to, the fire was already too big to extinguish.

The fire department rushed over but could only prevent the fire from spreading further.

Fortunately, the warehouse was in the suburbs, and aside from the warehouse itself being burned, there was no other damage to the surrounding residents.

”That group of people came fiercely and quickly, and just as we were about to question them, they started beating us up. There were about ten of them, and only four of us. We were all knocked out and tied up in the woods outside the warehouse. By the time we woke up, the fire in the warehouse was already big, and the outside surveillance had been destroyed by them...”

The chief security officer of the warehouse spoke very apologetically in front of Murong Fei.

From last night until today, the police checked the surveillance around the warehouse, and all of it had been destroyed.

Nearby road surveillance showed that last night around eleven o’clock, indeed two mysterious Chang’an cars drove towards the warehouse, and after forty minutes, both Chang’an cars drove away.

Both cars were unlicensed and matched the timing, so they were highly suspect in the case.

But the vehicles were too ordinary, and the fact that they were unlicensed made it difficult for the police to track them. Through road surveillance, the police were only able to trace the two Chang’an cars heading towards the outskirts before finding them in a forest.

But the cars had been completely destroyed, leaving behind no fingerprints, and the police had no other effective leads besides determining that the crime was committed by habitual offenders.

After the police left, Murong Fei and several mid-to-high-level executives of Murong Construction held a meeting on site to discuss countermeasures.

Later, Murong Fei and Qin Tian stepped out of the temporary office next to the warehouse, ready to leave, only to see two luxury cars parked outside the warehouse.

One was an Audi A7, the other a BMW.

”Yo, President Murong Fei, long time no see.”

A middle-aged man with a Fu Manchu stepped out of a BMW, dressed in a white suit and sporting a mohawk. He was very eye-catching.

This man had gold rings on every finger, a gold chain thick as a pinky around his neck, a cigar in his mouth, and sunglasses on, looking exactly like Zhao Ritian ready to explode.

Altogether eight men got out of the BMW and an Audi. Besides the mohawk showoff, the other seven were also wearing sunglasses and suits, but they were clearly the middle-aged man’s bodyguards.

”Damn, this clown... I’m done.”

Standing behind Murong Fei, Qin Tian almost burst out laughing at the sight of the middle-aged man with the mohawk.

Goodness, even rich folks don’t go around doing it like this; this is just too freaking hilarious.

However, even though Qin Tian’s face was relaxed, the expression on Murong Fei’s face was not looking good.

”President Sun, what brings you here?” Murong Fei said coldly.

”Hehe, I heard your warehouse got burned, so I came to take a look. Oh dear, it seems it really did burn down...”

The mohawk man took a puff of his cigar and dramatically scanned the ruins surrounding the warehouse, exaggeratedly sighing, ”Tsk tsk tsk... such a pity, President Murong Fei. How on earth did your perfectly good warehouse get burned down like this? Did you offend some enemy by any chance?”

”Maybe so,” Murong Fei replied indifferently, ”We’ve already called the police, and they’ve started an investigation. I believe the arsonist will be caught soon.”

”Is that so? Well then, I wish you all the best in finding them.”

The mohawk man put out his cigar and, with a lecherous glare, eyed Murong Fei, dressed in a black professional suit, and her impressive figure, saying, ”Haven’t seen you for a few months, President Murong Fei, and you’ve gotten even more beautiful. They say you’re the number one beauty in Zhonghai, and I don’t see anyone daring to disagree with that.”

Upon hearing this, Murong Fei frowned with displeasure and said, ”Thanks for the compliment, but if you’ve come today just to flatter me, I think I’ll pass. I still have things to do, so please excuse me.”

Murong Fei, displeased, spoke and directly headed towards the parking lot.

”Don’t be in such a hurry to leave.”

Sun Tianba took a step across and stood in front of Murong Fei, blocking her path.

”President Murong Fei, even if we can’t be husband and wife, surely we can still become business friends, right?”

Sun Tianba looked at Murong Fei and said, ”I specially came here today to help you.”

”Thank you, but I don’t need your help,” Murong Fei tried to walk around Sun Tianba, who then moved a couple of steps to block her again.

”Won’t you even hear out what kind of help I’m offering?”

Sun Tianba smiled and said, ”President Murong Fei, as far as I know, the Murong Construction project needs to be completed by the end of this month, am I right?”

At these words, an even more displeased look crossed Murong Fei’s face, yet she didn’t contradict what Sun Tianba said.

”The construction materials stored in this warehouse, those that are imported from abroad, that’s what you had here, right?”

Without waiting for Murong Fei to speak, Sun Tianba said proudly, ”It’s a pity, with just over twenty days left to complete the project, this last batch of urgently needed construction materials got burned along with the warehouse. My, what to do? The key construction materials burned, looks like you won’t be able to finish this month, will you?”
