When Chu Yao came outside again, she saw that Lian Jining's villa not far away had caught fire, and the billowing black smoke spread all the way to the sky.

The area was already crowded with various vehicles and onlookers, some of whom were taking pictures with their mobile phones.

"Sister, look over there! It seems to be on fire! Let's go and take a look!" Xiao Nan rocked in Chu Yao's arms.

"Don't look at it, little kid! It's dangerous!"

Chu Yao stopped abusing her spiritual sense, as her current physical condition wouldn't allow it. She looked from afar and saw that the Yali Company's fire truck seemed to have arrived, but there was no action to put out the fire. It seemed someone had stopped them, and the two sides were arguing in front of the gate.

She couldn't see any more details because the place was full of people.

Chu Yao hugged Xiao Nan and sat on a bench at a nearby bus stop, resting her head on her chin, feeling drowsy.

The red sports car roared over, and Xu Bing'er finally arrived. As soon as she got out of the car, she saw Sister Chu throwing a heavy iron block at her.

"Ah!" Xu Bing'er was startled, but still reached out to take it. "What, what is this?"

"Don't ask me, I don't know either." Chu Yao jumped to the back seat as quickly as a cat and closed her eyes.

"Are you the new sister? (●●)" Xiao Nan greeted Xu Bing'er. "Sister, can you take me to find my mother?"

"What? A robot?" Xu Bing'er touched Xiaonan's round head. "Sister Chu is really amazing. She always comes up with new tricks."

"Xiao Nan is not a robot. She is eight years old!" She actually remembered her own age this time. "Sister, you are so beautiful. Beautiful sister, can you take Xiao Nan to find her mother?"

"Wow, you're really good at talking! I've never seen such an intelligent robot before." Xu Bing'er smiled and carried her to the passenger seat, not forgetting to buckle her seatbelt. "We'll take you back to your sister's house first. When the sister in the back wakes up, let her take you there, okay?"

"Okay." Xiaonan nodded his head up and down.

"What's your name? Xiaonan is your nickname?" Xu Bing'er started the car while talking to Xiaonan.

"My name is Xia Qi! Oh, no, my name is Xiao Nan..." Xiao Nan's face showed a confused emoticon. "Who am I?"

The red sports car drove along the road past the burning manor not far away. Xu Bing'er just took a closer look and continued to focus on driving and coaxing the children.

At the gate of the manor, all kinds of vehicles blocked the way, and firefighters in orange fire suits were arguing with a group of people.

"Since we're already here, how could we possibly just leave the fire alone? There's so much vegetation nearby, and there's a residential area further ahead. If the fire spreads over there, can you bear the responsibility?"

They were holding various tools and were very angry, but a group of people in black suits blocked the door tightly and refused to give way.

"This is not under the jurisdiction of your Yali Company. This is Professor Lian Jining's personal residence. He has signed a contract with our company. The surrounding area is the private territory of the Steel Dome Company!"

The man who was speaking held the phone to his ear with one hand and a serious look on his face.

"Isn't your Steel Dome Company based in the city of Unjust in the north? When did Xindu become your territory? If left unchecked, the fire will only continue to spread, seriously threatening the property and personal safety of Xindu's civilians. Your Steel Dome Company cannot bear this responsibility!"

The one who spoke was the captain of the fire brigade. He stood in front of his team members, arguing with reason and refusing to give in.

"Why won't they let us put out the fire? Is this the way big companies work? You really can't mess with me~"

"Humph, these warmongers sell arms to whichever planet they go. Do you expect them to care about us ordinary people? They just want Lingyuan Star to be in chaos so they can take advantage of the opportunity to make money from the war!"

"Everyone, look at this! Steel Dome is taking human life with a vengeance!"

There were constant sarcastic comments coming from the crowd, and someone raised his phone to record the scene.

"No!" The man in black suit also showed anxiety on his face, with sweat on his forehead. He was under great pressure to block the way here with his men.

He just received a call, and "the higher-ups" have issued a death order that no one is allowed to enter this place, even if it means burning it down!

"Our Steel Dome Group's exclusive firefighting team is here. We don't need your Yari Company's personnel here!"

"How far is Injustice City from here?! Even if your fire department takes the maglev train, it will take half an hour to get there. By the time your people arrive, the new capital will be burned down!"

The two sides argued for a long time, but there was still no progress. The fire was only getting bigger. Some nearby residents could not bear it any longer, so they formed a fire brigade and carried basins of water to pour in the direction of the spread.

They didn't want to save the villa, and these ordinary people didn't have the ability to do so, but they just couldn't bear to watch the fire burn to their own house.

After arguing for another five minutes, the two sides finally reached an agreement that the fire brigade of Yali Company could not enter the manor, but could extinguish the fire remotely.

"Wouldn't it have been over if we had done this earlier?" The team leader angrily ordered the team members to quickly prepare the water guns.

The man in black from the Steel Dome Company wiped the sweat off his face with a handkerchief. He had no choice. After all, he was just an employee. How could he dare disobey the orders from his superiors?

Just as he was standing at the door resting while staring at the fire department, he suddenly saw another group of people rushing towards the street in the distance.

The man in black was startled and quickly winked at his companions. Half of them stayed where they were and stared, while the other half, led by him, took the initiative to go forward.
