News of the warehouse fire spread throughout the base at lightning speed, after all, it was a seed warehouse containing all the research results of so long.
If they can't get the seeds stored inside, they've suffered a huge loss this time.
The financial loss is negligible; the most crucial thing is that all their hard work has been wasted.
Nan Xiangwan has always been a very calm person. No matter what major crisis he encounters, he will never show his emotions on the surface.
But after hearing that the seed warehouse had caught fire, her expression changed.
"Sister!" Nan Haochen rushed over immediately.
"Sister, are you alright?"
Compared to the contents of the seed warehouse, Ouyang Qian was more concerned about Nan Xiangwan's current situation.
Nan Xiangwan shook her head and said, "I'm fine. You need to find a way to put out the fire as soon as possible!"
Her voice trembled slightly, and Nan Haochen felt a pang of pity. He truly couldn't believe that someone would do something so heinous.
Nan Haochen originally wanted to investigate the responsibility, but the most important thing now was to put out the fire. If the fire wasn't extinguished, the entire warehouse of seeds would be ruined.
"Okay, Qianqian, you stay here with me. We don't know what the situation is like inside the base right now, so don't leave without permission. I'll have Zhou Weixiong stay with you!"
Since having Ouyang Qian and preparing to become a father, Nan Haochen has become more mature and composed.
There are some things that cannot be entirely relied upon by Nan Xiangwan, so Nan Haochen has to handle them himself.
Nan Xiangwan frowned and said, "No, you have your own things to do. I'll put out the fire with Zhou Weixiong!"
Although Nan Haochen meant well, how could Nan Xiangwan let him focus all his energy on this?
Although no one is saying anything about the warehouse fire now, it will definitely be investigated later. If the culprit cannot be found, the base will have to push someone out to take the blame.
Currently, the main person in charge of the seed base is Zhan Siyu, the second person in charge is Nangong Chen, and Nan Haochen is the third person in charge.
Nan Xiangwan couldn't let them bear this blame. If the old general really wanted to hold them accountable, then he would have to take the blame.
"Sister, what time is it now? You and Qianqian still have a child!"
"Don't worry, nothing will happen to me, you have to believe me!"
Seeing that Nan Xiangwan was being stubborn, Nan Haochen frowned, hoping that she would stop being so stubborn.
Nan Xiangwan also frowned. These matters were not for them to decide. Nan Haochen would definitely be pushed out to take the blame, and he absolutely would not allow that to happen.
"Didn't you notice? No one in the entire base came to the warehouse. They're just waiting for someone to step forward first, and that person will be the scapegoat!"
"My silly brother, you can't..."
Before Nan Xiangwan could finish speaking, Nan Haochen quickly stopped him.
"Sister, don't worry about it. Your brother is all grown up now and has his own ideas. You and Qianqian stay here!"
Nan Haochen clearly didn't give Nan Xiangwan time to refuse. He quickly looked at Zhou Weixiong beside him and said, "Send my sister back immediately!"
"Captain Zhou, I'm entrusting my wife and sister to you!"
Hearing Nan Haochen's words, Zhou Weixiong was also helpless. He was the security captain. If he abandoned his post at this time, he might be severely punished later, or even dismissed.
Therefore, Zhou Weixiong was actually a little reluctant to obey Nan Haochen's orders. He was only the third person in charge of the base, and there was no reason for him to give orders.
But at this point, Zhou Weixiong also understood a principle.
Whoever stays here to do the final firefighting work will ultimately become the scapegoat.
Compared to leaving his job, he couldn't afford to compensate for the seeds in this base, so the best option was to leave as soon as possible.
He nodded quickly and said, "Okay, then I'll leave it to Mr. Nan!"
Zhou Weixiong ultimately obeyed and stayed where he was; he did not intend to continue participating in the firefighting efforts.
Although Nan Haochen knew what he was thinking, he did not stop him.
Finally, he glanced at Nan Xiangwan and Ouyang Qian, then turned and walked to the vicinity of the warehouse, where a raging fire had been burning for more than twenty minutes and showed no signs of going out.
Nan Xiangwan knew Nan Haochen's good intentions, so she did not refuse and instead took Ouyang Qian back to the lounge.
Ouyang Qian was very anxious. She wasn't worried about the experimental results at the seed base, but rather about Nan Haochen's current safety.
"Sister, do you think Haochen will be in trouble?" Ouyang Qian asked.
Nan Xiangwan shook her head. Nan Haochen had grown up and was capable of protecting himself. No one could hurt him so easily; there was no doubt about that.
Therefore, Nan Xiangwan was not worried about Nan Haochen's safety, but rather about the mastermind behind it all, who would not let the matter rest so easily.
"Thirty-five minutes have passed now, why hasn't the fire truck arrived yet?" Nan Xiangwan asked.
Zhou Weixiong stood to the side, also feeling very strange. He kept looking at his watch, which showed that thirty-five minutes had passed. Under normal circumstances, the fire truck should arrive within ten minutes.
Moreover, this is a military training base, and any disturbance here will be noticed very quickly.
The fire truck should arrive sooner, but strangely, there's no sound of it at all.
"I don't know," Zhou Weixiong shook his head.
His eyes were somewhat unfocused. It wasn't that he didn't know what had happened, but he felt he shouldn't say it.
In fact, people from the Blue Planet have never been well received by most people. Apart from a few Rose Planet people led by the Ye family who treated them relatively well, the rest were generally xenophobic.
Especially with the great success of Zhan Siyu's research project, the Nanxiangwan food street has also entered the preparation stage.
The arrival of people from the Blue Planet will bring about tremendous changes to the entire Rose Planet, but they will not receive any of the benefits.
This is why many people are targeting Zhan Siyu and Nan Xiangwan behind their backs; it's something they can't stop.
Zhou Weixiong had heard such rumors to some extent, so he could only shake his head.
"Asking me won't help. You should know some things very well yourselves. People from Water Blue Star aren't very well-received, at least not in the eyes of ordinary people right now!" Zhou Weixiong said.
