Flames shot up into the sky and thick smoke billowed from the Lancheng Hotel.

Su Haoxuan and Wenxiu stood at the cordon outside the hotel, their faces filled with anxiety and uneasiness.

The sirens of fire trucks and people's shouts intertwined to create a chaotic picture.

Suddenly, there was a sharp and piercing friction sound on the road. A black SUV was driving too fast and suddenly braked suddenly. With the body of the car shaking violently, it slid sideways and stopped on the side of the road.

Uncle Wang, the Su family's housekeeper, hurriedly opened the driver's door, got out, and quickly opened the back door.

Aunt Yun helped Grandma Su get out of the car. Uncle Wang and Aunt Yun hurriedly supported Grandma Su's arms and walked hurriedly towards the Lancheng Hotel which was on fire not far away.

Grandma Su's face looked very ugly and her eyes were wet. No matter how sad she felt, she forced herself not to cry out loud.

She didn't expect that the only five-star hotel in Lancheng, which had been in operation for decades, would be destroyed by a fire.

When the hotel manager saw Grandma Su coming over, he hurried forward and knelt down in front of Grandma Su.

He raised his hand, slapped himself, and cried bitterly about his incompetence.

Grandma Su glared at him fiercely and said, "You spineless thing, stand up quickly, why are you crying! The incident has already happened, are there any casualties?"

The hotel manager wiped his eyes with the back of his hand and stood up. We have organized everyone to evacuate. There are no reports of casualties so far, and firefighters are now putting out the fire. "

Grandma Su staggered forward, her eyes wide open, staring straight at the Lancheng Hotel in the flames, until she reached the cordon.

Su Haoxuan saw grandma coming and hurried over to her, "Grandma, why are you here too? Wang Shuang, Auntie Yun, please help grandma go back. Wenxiu and I are here."

When Grandma Su heard Wenxiu's name, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth and said painfully, "Grandma's hotel, can't I take a last look?"

Grandma Su slowly turned her gaze to Wenxiu who was next to Su Minxuan. Her eyes were filled with hatred and doubt, giving people the feeling that this matter seemed to be related to Wenxiu.

Wenxiu had already sensed Grandma Su's uneasiness and suspicion towards her from her grandmother's hostile eyes.

Wenxiu hurried forward and smiled bitterly, "Grandma, you are not feeling well, please go back. Haoxuan and I are here."

This is my Lancheng Hotel, and it has nothing to do with you. Why are you here to join in the fun? My Lancheng Hotel was destroyed by a fire. Your Lanxing Hotel is in Lancheng, and there is no strong rival anymore. Are you happy?"

Wen Xiu bit her lip, looked at Grandma Su uneasily, then turned her head to look at Su Haoxuan aggrievedly.

"Grandma, what are you thinking about? Wenxiu is one of us now. She will be sad if you say that. Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with Wenxiu."

"How can there be no connection at all? Ever since she opened the Lanxing Hotel, our Lancheng Hotel has lost a lot of customers. Now that the Lancheng Hotel has been ruined, won't her Lanxing Hotel be the only one in the market?"

Su Haoxuan frowned and looked at his grandmother helplessly.

"Grandma, no matter what you think, all results are subject to the police's investigation results. Don't be so stubborn and put all the blame on Wenxiu!"

Seeing Su Haoxuan's expression, Grandma Su finally kept silent.

The hotel manager stood aside and said painfully: "President Su, Boss Su! The surveillance video of our hotel was also destroyed by the fire. How can the police find out the truth?"

Everyone was immersed in extreme sadness and pain. They looked at the Lancheng Hotel not far away being engulfed by fire, and their hearts ached as if they were being cut by a knife.

"Haoxuan, what should we do now?" Wenxiu held Su Haoxuan's arm tightly, her eyes full of worry.

Su Haoxuan's eyes were fixed on the fire scene, and he quickly thought about possible countermeasures in his mind.

"First, we have to ensure everyone's safety. Then, the cause of the fire must be investigated. This fire was definitely not accidental.

Although Su Haoxuan's voice sounded firm, his heart was turbulent.

This fire was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Su family. He had to find the cause as soon as possible and recover the losses.

At this moment, a firefighter ran out of the fire, his face covered with smoke and dust, "Mr. Su, we have controlled the fire, but the interior of the hotel is severely damaged. Fortunately, no casualties have been found yet."

Su Haoxuan breathed a sigh of relief. At least there were no casualties. This was a blessing in disguise. "Thank you for your efforts. Please continue to investigate the cause of the fire."

The firefighter nodded and turned back to the rescue work.

Wenxiu patted Su Haoxuan on the back. “What should we do now? This fire will definitely have an impact on the Su family’s reputation.”

Su Haoxuan took a deep breath and said, "We need to start crisis public relations immediately, control public opinion, and investigate the cause of the fire. I suspect it has something to do with Su Wei."

Wenxiu's eyes flashed with determination, "I will immediately contact our Lanxing Hotel's public relations team to try to reduce the negative impact. Don't worry, we will get through this difficult time together."

The two divided the work and cooperated with each other. Su Haoxuan began to investigate the cause of the fire, while Wenxiu was responsible for dealing with the external public pressure.

They knew that there might be a bigger conspiracy behind the fire.

After several hours, the fire was finally completely extinguished.

Su Haoxuan stood in front of the charred ruins of the hotel, his heart filled with anger and confusion.

At this time, his cell phone rang, this time it was another unfamiliar number.

"Su Haoxuan, how do you feel?" A familiar and cold voice came from the other end of the phone. It was Su Wei.

Su Haoxuan held the phone tightly, with a hint of anger in his voice, and shouted in a low voice: "Su Wei, did you cause this fire?"

Su Wei smiled on the other end of the phone. "Fire? Oh, that's just a small warning. If you don't agree to the conditions I proposed before, what happens next will be more interesting."

There was a flash of determination in Su Haoxuan's eyes. In his opinion, Su Wei had gone crazy.

He said angrily: "Su Wei, you are playing with fire. Aren't you afraid of retribution? The Su family is not your toy. You can't play with it however you want! I won't let you succeed!"

Su Wei on the other end of the phone snorted coldly, "Huh! It's retribution! You are the ones who should be punished. Do you see it now? Is it me who is punished or your Lancheng Hotel? We'll see!" After Su Wei finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Su Haoxuan's heart was filled with anger. He knew that Su Wei would not give up and there might be a bigger storm next.

He must be prepared to protect the Su family from greater harm together with Wenxiu.
