As soon as Ye Xincheng said this, everyone looked over, each with their own thoughts in their minds.
Zhou Yutong suddenly said, "Some dirty work doesn't necessarily require the boss to personally do it; the subordinates will do it themselves!"
This statement was obviously a rebuttal to Ye Xincheng's words, and also indirectly indicated that Zhou Yutong suspected that the target of arson was also the Chen family.
Because he was empathetic. After all, the Chen family's medical device research center was set on fire, and the Zhou family also did not show up. It was all done by their subordinates.
Ye Xincheng was choked and said unhappily:
"Mr. Zhou, the Telecom Building is 38 stories high. Since you're saying it was arson and there was gasoline at the scene, think about it. How much gasoline would it take to set such a large building? And how many people would it take? Have you started your investigation from this point?"
Standing next to him was the Commissioner of Police, Brown, who had obviously done some investigation.
"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Ye, our police have checked the nearby surveillance cameras. There were no large crowds or vehicles near the Telecom Building that night, and the traffic on the road has been showing normal activity."
At this time, the security captain on the scene also looked terrified:
"Boss, we were absolutely dedicated to our duties every night and never slacked off. The fire started on the top floor, and we evacuated the crowd immediately until the Second and Fourth Masters arrived. We were guarding the building the entire time and never let anyone in."
As soon as the police and security guards spoke, everyone at the scene was filled with questions. They looked up at the building that was still on fire, deep in thought.
Ye Xincheng was the first to be dissatisfied and started to yell. He had a hot temper, and everyone knew it:
"Everyone, if someone uses gasoline to set a fire, even if you each bring a bucket, the most you can bring is 50 liters, right? But what good is 50 liters of gasoline?
Well, even if there were more than one person, even if there were 50 of us, that would only add up to a little over 2 tons. Obviously, 2 tons of gasoline is not enough to set a 38-story building on fire, after all, the building has automatic fire-fighting equipment.
But 50 people carrying gasoline cans in the middle of the night, how many vehicles would that take? How could the road surveillance not capture it? How could the security guards on the scene not notice it?
"Yeah, that's weird."
"Dozens of people came to set fire in the middle of the night. There's no way there wouldn't be any clues."
"There's something fishy about this."
People at the scene started talking about it, and it was obvious that everyone had their own guesses about this suspicious point.
Seeing Zhou Yutong remained silent, Ye Xincheng continued:
"Mr. Zhou, I know how you feel right now, but there's no evidence to suggest this was arson, let alone the Chen family. I think it's better to investigate thoroughly and avoid making random guesses, which will only complicate things."
Ye Xincheng's words were apparently a warning, but in fact they were also a warning: If you want revenge, my Ye family will not stand idly by.
It would be strange if Zhou Yutong could remain calm at this time.
"Investigate? How do I investigate? Our Zhou family's telecommunications company has been burned down, and my two younger brothers are missing. How can I calmly investigate?"
There was one thing Zhou Yutong didn't say, that is, there were more than ten tons of gold, 200 million US dollars, the entire inventory of Zhou Jewelry, and some antiques in the basement of this building.
The old man still had a glimmer of hope. Even if everything on the ground was burned, he hoped that the underground vault could be preserved. Money could be burned, but gold could not be burned, right?
It’s a pity that all this gold, banknotes, jewelry, and antiques are now in Mr. Chen’s space hospital.
At dawn, the two fires that occurred that night quickly attracted the attention of the entire society.
If the Chen family's research center was still a "small fire", then the big fire in the telecommunications building was definitely the most serious social event this year.
All of a sudden, reporters from radio stations, newspapers, and news stations flocked to the scene.
The media, who are always eager to create chaos, have now laid out the grievances between the Zhou and Chen families on the table.
Of course, no one is optimistic about the Chen family, thinking that how could such a newly emerging family possibly compete with the old-established families?
Everyone is watching how the situation develops.
The Hong Kong Governor's Office also issued a statement expressing condolences to the Zhou family and stating that it would thoroughly investigate the cause of the fire in the telecommunications building, without mentioning the "small fire" in the Chen family.
Just after Ye Xincheng left, Chen Defa issued two orders.
First, all employees of Four Seasons Security Company will have their vacations canceled and enter a level one alert state.
The security company currently consists of more than 2,000 "big circles", all of whom are elite retired soldiers, and there is no doubt about their fighting strength.
Hu Jianfeng had quietly opened the warehouse and distributed all the weapons.
This armed force can not only deal with the Zhou family, but can even try to attack the Governor's Office.
The second order was that all members of the Chen family in Repulse Bay must evacuate and return to the mainland as quickly as possible.
But this order was issued too late.
The Zhou family acted very quickly.
As soon as Zhou Yutong learned that his two younger brothers might have been burned to death, he ordered "Fu Yixing" to arrange people to rush to the Chen family villa in Repulse Bay as soon as possible.
The goal is to control the Chen family's families before they can react, and kill them if necessary.
The old man has completely lost his mind and has become furious.
Those who were in the villa that night included the empress dowager, Gu Lin and the triplets, Chen Chun's family, Chen Qiu, Chen Jiang, aunt Chen Shufen and her two daughters.
There were also five or six servants, but there were more than 20 security guards outside the villa on guard at all times.
Chen Shuqin still made a mistake and only paid attention to the safety of the three giants.
But she didn't expect that things would develop to such an uncontrollable level that night. Someone in the Zhou family had died, and they were about to launch a crazy counterattack.
At 4 o'clock in the morning, before daybreak, outside the Chen family villa,
Li Laoba and his brothers were vigilantly observing any movement around them.
With many years of military service, Li Laoba has rich combat experience. He knows that the situation tonight is special. Even the boss was ambushed on the way, and it is possible that the Chen family villa will also be attacked.
There is a mountain to the east of Chen's villa, so he cautiously arranged two secret sentries at the foot of the mountain, equipped with infrared telescopes, and required them to fire warning shots immediately if they spotted the enemy.
Suddenly, Li Laoba heard a burst of gunfire, followed by the sound of gunshots. The red trajectory of the bullets was particularly obvious in the dark night.
The two sides fought.
The residents around Repulse Bay were all fast asleep. When they heard the gunshots, they thought someone was setting off firecrackers. They turned over and cursed and continued to sleep.
Li Laoba roared:
"Turn on the electric fence at the villa, bring up the heavy machine guns, aim them at the intersection, and start shooting anyone who comes. Damn it, too many people have been killed tonight. The worst that can happen is that we brothers can go back to the mainland with the boss."
After a while, gunshots rang out, and machine guns began to reap lives.
At this time, the Chen family villa was in chaos.
