Chapter 142
“Pinxian Dairy’s second processing plant covers an area of two hundred acres, primarily processing milk, beverages, ice cream, and more, with nearly two thousand employees. The fire this time broke out in their cold storage.” Ren Yi glanced at the information sent to him by Liang Wei, the captain of the Jiu’an team, and briefly introduced the situation, “Which part of the second plant are Feilan and the others visiting?”HXroaIusCuAKaLFsQmXRzajafRqCjw
sQNQAATUwSynmTxPinxian Group is one of the top dairy companies in the country, and this time, the middle school organized a visit to their newly constructed factory, boasting an investment of twelve billion, equipped with the world’s most advanced technology and equipment. Such a large factory is naturally a key unit for fire prevention as recognized by the fire department.OXaBToGtQmqYmbWCaYISIKEBpbNZIz
bOLxORxVbnyXfgk“It should be the production line, but I don’t know if it includes the cold storage.” Gong Yingxian’s face was somewhat pale, his gaze fixed ahead, wishing he could fly over immediately.PwWgqEbdermUecFnMJLvdPerQPtrii
VuqBpVXRTvYKUhQRen Yi gently placed his hand over Gong Yingxian’s, which was gripping the steering wheel tightly: “Yingxian, you must calm down. The factory is far from the city center and is filled with a lot of metal and electronic equipment. If we can’t get through on the phone, it’s likely due to poor signal. The captain of the district team just told me that there’s only smoke for now, and no open flames have been seen, which means the fire is still under control.”xVMbpCgQKxhGIEVnWLUBqnWWcYyYLX
UQmbudkkGqyEeRn“The building materials of cold storage generally contain a lot of polystyrene, which releases toxic smoke. Even if Feilan is nearby, it’s still very unsafe.” Gong Yingxian took a deep breath, “If this is another premeditated crime by Ziyan, then they are likely targeting Feilan.”TEBnkSrOYrHArbztDaVyinZErHGRkg
VlnObvHvRJKQYSEAny accident happening around them could be related to Ziyan. It’s not that they are overthinking; rather, Ziyan is desperately trying to kill them, going to great lengths and repeatedly sacrificing followers, exposing themselves, as if they have been provoked. This perhaps indirectly proves that under Gong Yingxian’s relentless pursuit, they have no time to get close to the truth.MtXukfDdpbfgaYuybkZhSTZFCWQnWx
KdKjAWuqnSuIaUS“Don’t think too much and scare yourself. The factory has a dedicated fire brigade and security. Feilan is with her teacher and classmates; they will definitely be safely evacuated.” Ren Yi was also anxious, but he dared not show it; otherwise, both of them would panic, which would be of no help.JRBvVieDpgGtoztIEAhvZcIKAfJzQd
QzSltkXtfkJDXAzGong Yingxian struggled to adjust his breathing, but his gaze remained bloodshot.MxngccdDCHWWZXLPkswPomYErAmfPL
uQyvcdcAfaIVGqAWhile waiting for the red light, Ren Yi turned his chin to face him, looking deeply into his eyes: “Yingxian, trust me, Feilan will be safe.”nlXPDOhnmoqegYPRCmUNAdGsDGcQhS
krpfjTaPXHDyHVvGong Yingxian looked into Ren Yi’s determined eyes, feeling a bit more at ease, and nodded vigorously, his breathing gradually calming down.kvzNRQwJHBkRPZjxlJyFUTumfLuCFx
qoFDRKKQItpDgzVAt that moment, his phone buzzed. He quickly picked it up, glanced at it, and handed it to Ren Yi: “Uncle Sheng found the phone number of the teacher leading the group. You should try calling.”DTuLGjFpimjmqoZYcjrTSjkshdantx
gfRHVyCCxFGdfTJRen Yi dialed the number, but it was busy. He sent a text message while saying, “There are probably many people trying to call the teacher right now.”EweBVHCELthcndIIwCfiolJOZcJyoa
etEjacssqiozPLFGong Yingxian slammed the steering wheel: “Help me call the driver.”TkOgzvMzZzsuFxnbALeZfyMuYILFhI
jibOqNcnWEFfgAvRen Yi dialed the driver’s number, and it was quickly answered: “Young Master!”AdazEyoQYxVifyffvfLYvJNHtPbaYx
PEsPdwlrLwXePTt“What’s the situation on site?” Gong Yingxian asked in a deep voice.OrlfpxCPsnmiMwMDLdTZUiMzoeVtYA
odBTINYaRFsXQLm“A few fire trucks and police cars have arrived. We’ve been pushed outside the isolation zone. Right now, we can only see a factory building emitting smoke, and employees and students are being evacuated. I haven’t seen Miss Feilan yet; she might be among those students.”GWcYpJSCQJTTaXsfGfnHHaGTpdtYvm
oqkOImynnPemXDE“Keep an eye on it. Notify me immediately if you see Feilan.”XgjCJOMrLzEScIkQjZaRUKZSfeakKy
mrjqIpUyJfqGCToRen Yi continued to study the fire safety records of the second plant, his brow furrowed.dMwmSJErLwnKQrepMLqMLJxDAONzqz
yUfxkRvTyQPFFoSThis factory area is very large, and the fire is currently in the cold storage. The structure and building materials of cold storage are quite different from ordinary buildings to achieve insulation, especially the walls, which have special material layers. Therefore, fires in cold storage often start smoldering in the layers, producing smoke that makes it difficult to pinpoint the exact ignition point. If no open flames have been seen yet, it indicates that the fire is not large enough, and perhaps it can still be extinguished at the initial stage. Otherwise, there are large amounts of liquid ammonia and other flammable and explosive materials stored in the cold storage and factory area. If it gets out of control, the consequences would be unimaginable.pUDlmXYTKUMHQsPknQQiXxYBJTgWJc
sOwVEVRiDmtCkOLEven if the fire is not large now, such a level of danger would at least mobilize over a hundred firefighters from five or six teams. It’s very likely that the Xijiao team led by Yan Jue has also been dispatched. Ren Yi picked up his phone to call Yan Jue but thought better of it and put it down. Now is not the time to act in haste; Yan Jue wouldn’t know more than Liang Wei.serTmZORDyixDbrEsVZGTPCZFrfBfh
dagobSAUPOTciUbAt this moment, Gong Yingxian’s phone rang again. He quickly picked it up and saw it was a call from Tan Haochun. He pressed the speakerphone button.moReMWEtXvwldQxvPgTlucdoHNcGFV
sIAjabPlibHAJHQ“Dr. Gong, what did you mean by your message in the group just now? Something happened at Pinxian’s second plant?”fvSxDBckvYnhCBmRAGPZLthCEmkjlK
vZvKxPEZDGSEDuE“Yes, there’s a fire. My sister and her teacher and classmates are visiting there. You need to contact the Xicheng branch; they already have police cars on the way and know the situation on site better. I suspect it’s Ziyan again.”uGIslyBImhjgCqjXJrxEENjAbUJrhH
JkmNjcznPUefwAVTan Haochun gasped: “So, you’re on your way there now?”WQkyvordZpEnFrdbKzsPDsUzLSserE
mCcbeoXEjTYQAfK“Yes. Have you intercepted any information related to Pinxian’s second plant online?”YlyfmCIDsNJuIyUFrbUzCUPAXNKMUT
UWiyRRjWENkdejZ“I just searched and found no suspicious information.” All social media used by netizens are actually monitored by the police, and keywords can be searched at any time through the software company’s database.wYKotzCsRGcscDSKpECBGVUlNAYYiO
lOsyPqGCLtlbZYi“Keep an eye on it. If this is Ziyan’s doing, at least the Seraphim will pay attention.”fSsjLNhEJfyGSBohDAadBXxsEmbcfZ
nZavJUpMpXZaMRq“There was a significant discovery, but… let’s talk about it later.”kJgrAJHTjmIWuAoMgznizozXvptrOr
BxotszJhMSADzEm“No, say it now.”GBOrlYMgxaMqVjeIBYgzCpgCTEyrwJ
miUAVPgNhaZxLSx“We’ve been tracking through the bank’s cooperation over the past few days and have identified several members of money laundering organizations. After monitoring their phones and social media, we found several private accounts. Now we have multiple pieces of evidence that lead us to suspect one of the accounts belongs to Bai Chicheng.”pIAfmAOIJHONQgIcdknmrErtGbfRKf
xiqPUmIwOWrfHMjHearing this, Gong Yingxian and Ren Yi exchanged glances.thKdGruTPdNxebCasPRFLjbKpLwJVw
NvDrFGVkcycvViU“The owner of this account is an unemployed youth. The source and flow of funds are very suspicious. Previously, he had no fixed income and could be said to have almost no transactions with the bank, but during the time Bai Chicheng was wanted, his account received several small deposits, not much money, but each was withdrawn in several parts from different locations. Most of these locations overlap with the areas we suspect Bai Chicheng might be hiding.”yIfTUeRtceAMRoIfpjVCwiRMeSxPnn
WxGJHyUhTEmiLok“Have you found this unemployed youth?”kBQNyjRsURUtbvRVeeWhRQEgCgmUAJ
iRKqKQNytxgcQSA“We have his photo and have inferred the area where he lives. Brother Qiang has already led a team to capture him.” Tan Haochun let out a very satisfying snort, “They spent money hiring a public relations company to smear Captain Ren, but instead exposed their own funding chain. They reap what they sow.”vuogPDfmlbZzkBRUiBbInvoFHHMTCy
tbdnpKupFkwDMoH“Catch him as soon as possible.”prgGvYTDllcgqCnpKOUYvkvJrHIkem
KtkbsjtCyRyNOqQ“Don’t worry, I will…” Tan Haochun suddenly exclaimed, “Wait!”sxaJZupygLpfsyRYoxrIcqDjDTZegh
jMNWsJWbIuURsbM“What’s wrong?”TdkztHQMNIHinTAadytUmtPOUBSNUh
bfyWRCMKrTDabwDOn the other end of the line, Tan Haochun could be heard talking to a colleague, seemingly mentioning something about Pinxian’s second plant.eHtKVzNBKKftRgxiXFcsaLovQvRUjH
DSLuTvazCdyLVcxThe two of them perked up, staring nervously.mcnWityyELpmDhxkWCBfEsZlAZrqLs
oTjTSFAkvvCeaAnAfter a minute, Tan Haochun picked up the phone, his breathing becoming somewhat rapid: “My colleague just discovered some information related to Pinxian’s second plant. I can’t confirm if it’s related to what’s happening now, but you must listen.”qKIrXaiScTWbyJdFmLaTOwTlJDcqjD
MTTkMLwDhDepdTW“Quickly say it.”lETiyFKEhPGdFhEQxkFEBGBfIRvoDj
ENehSWduidnXAHC“That Fang Zhixu, during the online backlash against Captain Ren, posted a lot of comments on social media, some of which were very radical.”MqQaDxmkAQaSbMpKyMSQOhLWCGgqSh
mYxMoNwbpwEJHliHearing this name, both of them were taken aback. Ren Yi asked, “What did he say?”ixjvuAydPIAdvQvvSPayTLJrXaXAPv
QnOwLSzUxdCnvfN“At first, he was angry, defending you, but then he turned his attention to the team, implying that the team’s slow response was dragging you down. After the private hospital and your university grades were exposed, this anger began to shift towards you personally. Some of his statements are contradictory; one moment he criticizes you, the next he defends you. It’s hard to define this person’s mindset.”oVwQeiGZRYLVXIKlRdJxXnEnXmzWqx
TgBymtkehvcZvxIRen Yi urged, “What did he post that’s related to Pinxian’s second plant?” Fang Zhixu and Gong Feilan are from the same school; although they are not in the same grade and may not be visiting together, at the very least, Fang Zhixu must know about the visit to Pinxian’s second plant. Just thinking about this made Ren Yi feel a chill down his spine.HbwYbvbMjgXvsrKHyIuJsmOQAXhwyh
cxJYgvwbeVXhpHM“He only retweeted a message from the school’s official account about leading students to visit Pinxian’s second plant. That retweet didn’t say anything, but in the next post, he wrote a few words.” Tan Haochun took a deep breath and recited, “The phoenix needs to undergo a rebirth.”gckElaxJfLPNjTnFWQWQuQAuqzgIdG
fFqsMlZpuAqOFoP“Is that all?”rJfsoYOnEFfOjUeiFnTAQzmvElKOHW
EmZVhVZjfIfKFhf“I’m looking at the content he posted. Since that retweet, he hasn’t participated in any online disputes related to you. This is really unusual; he was very active before.” Tan Haochun said solemnly, “We’ve been dealing with data, analyzing all aspects of people. Based on my intuition, combined with Dr. Gong’s previous insights into his psychology, he seems very off.”tGYDMghzOItKOLugWedYfjWNNUUmNU
aneHpxDNEVjTAEAGong Yingxian’s face turned extremely grim: “Try to contact him. If the phone doesn’t go through, go to his house. Make sure to find him.”AzuImFbLSNPjpuwRvqnjdvWcWTiqnc
KYMYfFPrvGBKEyNRen Yi leaned back in his chair, recalling Gong Yingxian’s words about Fang Zhixu’s distorted admiration for him, feeling uneasy. “Could this matter be related to him?” His voice trembled involuntarily.EfaWawWMqTGRSbhzUrgJWsSfCafuQB
mLntbnRTaOZntQM“I don’t know.” Gong Yingxian said hoarsely, “But if I were Ziyan, he would be a very good target to exploit—an ignorant, impulsive, and self-righteous teenager, the easiest to brainwash and manipulate.”WuusNjXKtcqPLukoXFPqeigVqakrwH
QuBWyzzRbzdsgeWRen Yi clenched his fists, recalling Fang Zhixu’s youthful face, a fire igniting in his chest.JlFgkQwbIrQzfHVzJTEIXlDhwCZCHV
YkvSequzfcAXpCeGong Yingxian drove as fast as he could to Pinxian’s second plant. Several fire trucks and police were on high alert at the scene, the urgency striking every heart.mCrRFkYpLJHenbBPqEcoSIeriDdcTL
