When the fire started, Mu Qiong and others had already had dinner.

Mu Qiong specially explained Yue Chaoying's preferences to the steward before, in fact, it was just to find an opportunity to talk to the steward, but the steward listened to it, and finally the food served to them was in line with Yue Chaoying's preferences.

Yue Chaoying picked up a few chopsticks and said, "I'm not picky about food, I shouldn't trouble others..."

Mu Qiong said: "Mr. is a guest, so you should treat him well."

Yue Chaoying said: "You are also a guest, how could any guest say that?"

"That's right...but it's nothing more than asking them to stir-fry some vegetables." Mu Qiong said with a smile, Yue Chaoying's preference...is to eat vegetables!

While they were talking, a hoarse voice of a teenager who was in the period of changing his voice suddenly came from outside: "It's not good! It's on fire!"

Yue Chaoying was startled when he heard the words, and immediately walked out, and then saw the fire not far away.

"Why did it start burning?" Yue Chaoying was anxious, and suddenly realized that something was wrong... "That place was the place that the steward told us to avoid!"

They had visited Huo Ying's entire factory before, but they missed it... Although the manager who entertained them didn't say anything, Yue Chaoying already guessed that there was something unusual there.

He was in no mood to eat, and said, "Let's go over there and have a look!"

There is nothing to see there, the room is empty, and there is only a little Xilin left... As the person who came up with the idea of ​​setting the fire, Mu Qiong is very clear about the current situation, but he can't tell Yue Chaoying about it. followed.

Yue Chaoying soon arrived at the place where the British and French delegations were.

When Yue Chaoying was young, he had stayed in Britain and France for a long time, and knew many people there. He even knew some of the people in the delegation he met now!

He immediately greeted them by using the languages ​​of English and French flexibly.

What Yue Chaoying said was with an accent, but it would not be incomprehensible to people. Even because of his special way of breathing and articulating words, every sentence he said was very clear, making people listen to him subconsciously. speak.

Mu Qiong knew that modern people who study acting and drama want to learn pronunciation so that they can speak their lines better, while Yue Chaoying speaks as if he has received special training.

However, the more Yue Chaoying chatted with these people, the more ugly his face became.

Mu Qiong knew why he was like this—when people from Britain and France spoke, they revealed that the place where the fire was on fire was Huo Ying's factory building used to produce Xilin.

Yue Chaoying couldn't care less about continuing to talk to those foreigners, he said to those firefighters: "At this time, what's the point of putting out a fire? Go in and save people!"

If there is really a place where Xilin is produced, then those people should be the most precious in it!

People are alive, Xilin can still give birth in another place, but if people are gone, Xilin may be gone!

As soon as Yue Chaoying's words came out, someone wanted to save people, but at this moment, there was a loud bang from the scene of the fire.

It's a blast!

Mu Qiong was taken aback, and at the same time hurriedly supported Yue Chaoying—the explosion sound was so sudden that Yue Chaoying almost fell down!

Yue Chaoying just almost fell, and Huo Ying, who was close, really fell.

The explosion brought a huge shock wave, pushing some beams and bricks around. Huo Ying, who was very close to the fire, was even hit by a piece of burning wood.

"Damn!" Huo Ying quickly got up from the ground, quickly took off his jacket that was set on fire by the wood and ran out, cursing inwardly while running: Is the manager under him crazy?There was even a bomb in it!

But this is also good, it can make people feel that all the researchers inside have been bombed to the ground!

Thinking of this, Huo Ying finally felt a little better, and his beating heart finally calmed down, making him feel much more comfortable.

"Second Young Master, are you okay?" Mu Qiong asked.

"I'm fine." Huo Ying said, and found that he had run to the place where the representatives were. Huo Ying wiped his face and cursed: "The one who killed a thousand swords! If you let me know who put the bomb, I will definitely let him go." Die!" He almost died just now!

Huo Ying was furious, and after he wiped his face with his dirty hands, his face turned black...

People from Britain and France: "..." They suspected that Huo Ying had directed and acted all of this before, but now, it has been confirmed that this is definitely not the case.

Huo Ying was really in danger just now, his clothes were on fire... If he had known in advance that there was a bomb inside, Huo Ying shouldn't be so close to the fire anyway!

But even if Huo Ying didn't do all of this, the current situation gives Huo Ying a reason not to give them Xilin...

It's even possible that Xilin was destroyed in a fire just like that!

The faces of the delegation members were extremely ugly.

The people fighting the fire were now putting out the fire on the people around them—although the explosion didn't kill the people outside, but because of the sparks flying around, many people were on fire!

Fortunately, in order to put out the fire, many of them carried water in their hands, and poured it on the people around them to put out the fire.

It's winter, and it's really uncomfortable to wear wet clothes.

"After such an explosion, everything is gone..." Huo Ying murmured looking at the ruins in the fire scene, his face full of disappointment.

"Mr. Huo, what is that place?" asked a British representative.Although they have already guessed, they still need to confirm.

"It's the place where Xilin is produced, and the people who have researched Xilin live in it... Now that it's like this, I'm afraid that the equipment inside will be burned out, and the people inside will be killed." Huo Ying's face There are many gray marks on the body, and the whole person looks very depressed.

And those representatives, hearing Huo Ying's words, were equally disappointed.

Someone asked: "Xilin's production technology must be backed up elsewhere, right?"

"No." Huo Ying said: "It's all like this, let me tell the truth, the Xilin was not developed by me, it was developed by someone else, he asked me to cooperate, and then he was responsible for the production of the Xilin, and I was in charge of the sales, the proceeds Excluding the cost, we split half and half. Therefore, the Xilin was produced, and I have no idea."

People around don't quite believe it.

At this time, Huo Ying simply stretched out his hand and said, "I really don't know how Xilin is made. If I lie to you, I will be hit by thunder!"

Modern people don't take oaths seriously, people at this time are still very superstitious. When Huo Ying said this, most of the representatives believed it.

In fact, what Huo Ying said was indeed the truth...how did he know how Xilin was produced?The research on this stuff was done by his younger brother!

"If it wasn't for this person's refusal to leave Shanghai, I wouldn't have stayed here forever, and would have returned to Shanxi long ago." Huo Ying said again.

The people around believed his words even more - in a place like Xilin, it is indeed more reassuring to study in one's own territory.

When Huo Ying was deceiving people, the fire gradually subsided.

The workers under Huo Ying worked together to put out the fire. After a while, everyone was able to see the situation in the fire scene clearly through the small fires.

They can even smell the smell of barbecue.

Mu Qiong only felt a little disgusted, subconsciously covered his mouth and nose, and at the same time his face was not very good-looking - before the steward set the fire, did he put someone in it?

Mu Qiong felt a little uncomfortable. Those in the delegation who hadn't had dinner all this time had already covered their mouths and retched.

"Someone was burned to death!" Several soldiers who entered the fire scene to check, and after a while, several corpses were dragged out.

Because of the previous explosion, these corpses were not very complete, which made people's hearts ache.

But the most worrying thing is that Mu Qiong has never seen the "world".Those soldiers didn't take these corpses seriously at all, even Yue Chaoying and Han Zhen were very calm.

Yue Chaoying has been working in the Qing Dynasty until now, and has experienced many ups and downs. Although he beat his chest and stamped his feet before, it was a pity in every way, but now he has accepted the reality, and he is very calm.

"Is there a basement inside? Maybe someone is still alive..." Yue Chaoying asked.

"There is no basement there." Huo Ying said, and after he finished speaking, he saw the soldiers dragging some corpses out.

These corpses are much more complete, and one of them is particularly complete...

The soldier under Huo Ying said: "Second Young Master, this man is hiding under others..."

Huo Ying heard this man's words, and after confirming that this man was completely dead, he immediately said: "This is the man who cooperated with me to sell Xilin!"

It turns out that this is the person who researched Xilin, no wonder the people around him will protect him and let him be intact even in such a big fire.

However, even if he was not burned or killed by the blast, he still suffocated to death with such a big fire and smoke.

Everyone looked at this man with great regret—this man was very capable, but unfortunately died young, and even made Xilin's cultivation much more difficult.

One of Huo Ying's subordinates: "..." Although this man's face was gray, he still recognized it!

This is Gao Shengxi!This is Gao Shengxi that the second young master has been looking for!

He remembers this face very well, even if this person is turned into ashes, he can recognize it, let alone this person hasn't been turned into ashes yet!

But what Er Shao says is what...

Huo Ying relaxed a lot after turning a deer into a horse, and at the same time it was a bit strange - where did the stewards under him get these people?

In his factory, there is no such thing as a dark prison, and there are no wicked people who can be burned.

The manager under Huo Ying was also surprised - he didn't know the person in front of him!How did this guy get in there?Shouldn't it be haunted?

Even the superstitious steward was frightened!

At this moment, Mu Qiong felt that this scene was a bit unacceptable.

Although he has seen many deaths, this death is still a bit miserable...

At this moment, only Yue Chaoying was very calm: "Call the police!" Even if the police may be useless, but for such a big matter, the police must be called.
