Xia Meng and Gu Ye watched a movie. After coming out, Xia Meng looked at his watch. It was already past eleven o'clock in the evening, and there were still many people in the Cultural Palace.

The cool breeze blows on the skin, the coolness is like strands, and it is as cool as mist.

Gu Ye took off his coat and gently put it on Xia Meng's shoulders. The two of them clasped their fingers tightly and walked on the dark road side by side.

There were not many people walking on the road, so Xia Meng slowly pulled out her hand and took Gu Ye's arm. The two were close to each other, very intimate.

Unconsciously, they arrived at the entrance of the alley, and when Xia Meng was thinking about inviting Gu Ye in for a cup of tea, she unexpectedly saw Sister Sun standing at the door of her house, looking around with an anxious look on her face.

Xia Meng calmed down instantly and walked over quickly, "What's wrong with Sister Sun?"

Sun Mei's eyes lit up when she saw Xia Meng and Gu Ye, she took a few steps forward, grabbed Xia Meng's hand, her tone was anxious and panicked,

"Sister, a man named Tian Zhiwen came over in a hurry just now and said... your factory's warehouse was on fire."

"What?" Xia Meng was startled, turned around and ran towards the factory.

Xia Meng's house was a bit far from the factory, Gu Ye said quickly,

"Wait a minute, I'll drive."

Gu Ye quickly drove over to the jeep parked not far away. Xia Meng quickly got into the car, not forgetting to tell Sun Mei,

"Sister Sun, it's so late. You should go home and rest. Don't worry about me. Lock the door!"

Sun Mei nodded hastily, "Sister, don't worry about me, you must be careful yourself."

Xia Meng nodded, "Okay!"

There were few people at night. Gu Ye knew that Xia Meng was anxious, so he drove a little too fast.

Before arriving at the factory, Xia Meng saw the red sky reflected in the distance. The only patch of sky in the dark night was red, and the changes in brightness and dimness conveyed an ominous feeling that made people feel anxious.

When they were approaching the factory, the whole street was full of people, and even the fire truck came. Gu Ye had to stop the car. As soon as the car stopped, Xia Meng couldn't wait to push the door open and run towards the factory.

Xia Meng squeezed through the crowd and quickly entered the factory. She saw many workers carrying buckets and fighting the fire with the firefighters.

The tall warehouse in front of him was surrounded by raging fire. The beating flames were like the dance steps of the god of death. The scorching temperature seemed to dry out the air, making it difficult to breathe. The suffocating feeling came like a tide, depressing and despairing.

Someone saw Xia Meng and exclaimed, "Chief Xia!"

Xia Meng nodded and asked solemnly, "How is the situation now? No one is injured, right?"

"I have no idea."

Xia Meng nodded and had no choice but to ask others again. After asking several people in a row, no one knew what the situation was. Xia Meng became more and more anxious.

What Xia Meng is most worried about now is not that the goods in the warehouse have been burned. She, the head of the security department, is responsible. Will she be compensated? It is the issue of whether there will be any casualties?

Fortunately, Xia Meng found people from the security department who were putting out the fire in a corner.

Seeing Xia Meng, everyone in the security department gathered around Xia Meng as if they had seen their backbone.

"Senior!"

"Section Chief, you are finally here!"

"Sorry, I'm late," Xia Meng asked quickly, "How are you? Are you okay?"

Everyone shook their heads, "It's okay, it's okay."

Xia Meng then asked, "Is there anyone in the warehouse?"

Everyone looked at each other, embarrassed.

Xia Meng frowned, "It's time now, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Finally, Zhou Haiyang stood up and said in an uncertain tone,

"Old Meng, the warehouse manager, seems to be... still inside."

"What?" Xia Meng grabbed Zhou Haiyang's arm in a hurry, speaking in an anxious tone.

"Are you sure?"

"I..." Zhou Haiyang said hesitantly, "I'm not sure. I heard it from other workers."

"What should I do?" Xia Meng looked at the blazing flames in front of him, with an expression on his face that he wanted to rush in.

At this moment, Gu Ye parked the car and rushed over. He noticed Xia Meng's strange behavior and quickly asked,

"what happened?"

Xia Meng kept staring at the warehouse in front of him, his tone was anxious,

"There might be someone in the warehouse!"

As soon as these words came out, Gu Ye's expression gradually became serious.

If the fire had been smaller, they might have rushed in to save people, but now the fire was too strong, and there was a high probability that they would be burned to death inside and unable to get out at all.

Gu Ye was afraid that Xia Meng would rush in, so he calmly held Xia Meng's wrist.

"Let's put out the fire together!"

Xia Meng bit her lip, "Okay!"

The other people from the security department also hurriedly continued to fetch water and put out the fire.

But at this moment, a roar sounded from not far away:

"Xia Meng!" The slightly hoarse voice was filled with anger that was so strong that it could not be ignored.

Xia Meng raised her eyes and saw Factory Manager Wang leading a group of people toward her in a mighty manner. Before she could reach Xia Meng, she was cursed with all her face.

"Xia Meng, what did you do? The warehouse is piled with goods to be delivered this month, and now a fire has burned them all. How can we deliver the goods on time?"

"Do you know how much we will lose in this fire? You are the chief of the security department, and you cannot escape this responsibility!"

"I tell you, you are derelict in your duties! You really disappoint me!"

"Why are you, a woman, the head of the security department? Women are really unreliable! You, a woman, should just stay at home and take care of your children. Why are you trying to be strong?"

"This matter is not over yet. If such a big thing happens, all of you in the security department will not be able to escape the relationship."

Then, Director Wang’s secretary whispered something into his ear, and Director Wang immediately showed a sad expression on his face.

"Comrade Li, the warehouse manager... is trapped inside, and now I'm afraid..." Director Wang said, turning to look at the blazing flames behind him,

"I'm afraid it's already in danger!"

"Xia Meng, this is all your fault! If your security department had been more careful when patrolling, the fire wouldn't have been so big and Comrade Li wouldn't have died!"

It is indeed the responsibility of the security department to protect the safety of factory workers and finances, but the person most directly responsible for warehouse losses is the warehouse administrator.

Xia Meng and his security department were at best the second most responsible persons. The warehouse was burned down. Xia Meng was indeed anxious and sad, but Director Wang wanted to blame all the blame for this incident on their security department. Xia Meng couldn't bear it anymore.

Xia Meng sneered, anger surged, and she cursed back unceremoniously,

"You fart!"

"It's not like our people from the security department set fire to the warehouse. Why should we put all the blame on us?"

After hearing this, the other people in the security department also supported Xia Meng.

"That's right, our people in the security department were not lazy and did not patrol. We started putting out the fire as soon as they discovered the fire and called the police. Even if we are responsible, it is only a small part of the responsibility. How can we be fully blamed?"

"Yes, director, you can't be indiscriminate!"

"Put all the responsibility on us, but we don't admit it!"

"Yes! We don't recognize it!"

Xia Meng is now scolding Director Wang, not only for herself, but also for everyone in the security department.

Now Factory Director Wang wants to put all the responsibility on Xia Meng and the Security Department. If Xia Meng doesn't refute and really accepts this big blame, she can bear it herself, but what about the rest of the Security Department?

Moreover, as the section chief and leader of the Security Section, if Xia Meng does not know how to protect her subordinates, how can she be a leader in the future? Who among her subordinates would still obey her? Listen to her?

Therefore, Xia Meng would never let Factory Director Wang put the blame on their security department.
