In an instant, Gu Jiju frowned, and the wrinkles between his eyebrows seemed to form the Chinese character "川".
Shen Yuan, who was standing by, also heard the noise and immediately came over happily.
"Man-made?"
The firefighter nodded, took the evidence in his hand, and gave a few reminders.
"Based on the temperature and humidity of this season, a fire shouldn't have occurred. However, this fire broke out suddenly, and it spread from outside the building to the interior. Furthermore, we found evidence of human intervention."
The man took a deep breath, looked around, and finally his eyes fell on the manager.
"If you haven't taken over yet, I need to remind you that this hotel hasn't passed the security inspection. I just took a look, and many of the fire escapes inside are closed. It's not right for such a large hotel to not have alarms."
These are the problems that Gu Jiju has already realized.
The firefighters repeated it again at that time, which made Gu Jiju more concerned about this matter.
"So, I advise you to do a thorough investigation before signing the contract. We will also follow the clues to investigate this incident after we return. If it is indeed human manipulation, there will be legal consequences."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone walked up from behind.
The firefighter looked back, exchanged glances with the other party, and left the scene.
Gu Jiju's brows were gloomy, as if he had something to say.
I originally planned to buy a hotel that was already in good condition and only needed to be maintained and renovated before I could start operating it.
Little did they know that there was a hidden secret in this.
"This isn't right."
Chen Yuan quickly pulled the corner of Gu Jiju's clothes and looked at him with a serious expression.
"But it's late now, and everyone needs to rest. We definitely can't stay in this hotel any longer. How about we find a place to rest first and talk about the hotel tomorrow?"
Gu Jiju can't wait until tomorrow.
I wasn't feeling sleepy to begin with, and now I feel even more alert.
He won't be able to rest assured until the hotel's problems are solved.
"Wang Shan!"
Gu Jiju raised his chin, and the other party immediately came forward.
The man's voice was low and contained a hint of command.
"Go and prepare. Arrange a hotel for everyone and check them in as soon as possible. Also inform everyone that there's no need to rest tonight. If this fire can't be explained clearly, no one will have any sleep."
This is a matter of life and death.
If Chen Yuan and Gu Jiju died in their sleep, would they be finished now?
The group quickly found a hotel nearby and settled down.
But Gu Jiju didn't let these people rest at all.
In order to make this matter clear, everyone gathered in a room.
Gu Jiju was standing not far away, looking at the group of people coldly.
"Tell me, what happened to the hotel?"
For a moment, everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to speak nonsense.
Employees with no status lowered their heads, wishing to escape from Gu Jiju's sight as quickly as possible.
The manager, unable to escape, forced an awkward smile and tried to make up a lie to get away with it.
"It's our fault! There were things nearby that could easily catch fire, and perhaps we didn't notice... Sorry, Mr. Gu, there won't be a next time!"
"next time?"
Gu Jiju frowned and almost laughed out of anger at the other party.
Looking at the man's sharp eyebrows, the manager suddenly trembled all over.
But Shen Yuan discovered the problem and said it out without hesitation.
"As far as I know, this fire wasn't an accident, nor was there anything flammable nearby. It was arson. As the hotel's managers, why didn't you investigate if you knew about this?"
The manager's eyes were evasive.
Even without answering Shen Yuan's question, she could see the problem with this group of people.
It's nothing more than wanting to hide it.
The cause of the arson must be related to this gang.
"If you don't tell me now, I'll hand you over to the police."
Gu Jiju didn't say a word the whole time, and relied on Shen Yuan beside him to make threats.
It turns out that Shen Yuan’s words really work.
Several employees looked at each other, and finally couldn't help but tell the truth.
As soon as these people spoke, Shen Yuan's face changed with anger.
"Actually, this hotel offended a few workers when it was still under construction, and they've been making trouble and demanding repayment. Now that the boss is gone, they haven't come in a while, but..."
When the employee said this, he suddenly felt a burning gaze cast at him.
The man shrank his neck in fear and quickly stopped talking.
The manager embellished it a bit and continued.
"These guys are soft-hearted and won't take hardship. They'll be fine in a few days. It's not like you just arrived, they're looking for trouble with you! I definitely won't let them, and that's why there's a conflict."
Although the manager's words were confusing, Shen Yuan knew the inside story.
It’s simply that the previous money has not been settled, and these workers are not satisfied, so they come here to cause trouble every day.
As long as the previous boss doesn't give a result, these people will not let them go.
In addition, the managers and others did not know how to handle the situation and soon became enemies with the workers.
In the final analysis, a situation that could have been resolved normally was made worse by them.
Behind him, Wang Shan's brows furrowed with anger, and he also said a few indignant words.
"Why should we accommodate them? No, these people must be sent to jail. Arson is wrong. There are no casualties, but what if there were other guests inside? Mr. Gu, call the police!"
Li Wei also joined in and spoke very lively in front of Gu Jiju.
"Yes, Mr. Gu, call the police. This matter cannot be tolerated. It's not our fault anyway. It has nothing to do with us!"
