Chapter 190 Fire at the Freight Yard



Jiang Ning's order is progressing very smoothly.

At the garment factory, Yu Xiao personally oversaw everything to ensure delivery was made within the stipulated time.

The samples Jiang Ning sent abroad were also approved, and they are just waiting for the containers to be shipped over.

The country has opened up international shipping routes, but the transportation time is relatively long, taking more than a month to arrive at the port.

All goods in the capital city are transported to a cargo transshipment center, loaded into containers, and then shipped to Tianjin Port.

Jiang Ning and Yu Xiao agreed on a time to transport all the goods to the transit center.

These are all matters that Jiang Ning needs to oversee personally.

That day, the convoy transporting clothes had already departed from the garment factory, but the container that Jiang Ning had originally agreed to was temporarily occupied by someone else.

She needs to go back to the salesperson at the transit center to renegotiate the container issue.

Fortunately, the truck was parked at the transfer station and could not be unloaded immediately. Yu Xiao was not angry, but told the driver to wait there and cooperate.

Because the container was changed, she needed to come back and complete the procedures again.

Seeing her energetic and energetic demeanor, Lucy couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy.

She was still looking unhappy during lunch.

Lin Tao happened to be sitting opposite her, and seeing that she was very unhappy, he tried to tease her:

"What's wrong? Your boyfriend didn't take good care of you. You look sexually frustrated."

Lucy glared at him. "Stop being so glib. I just can't stand Jiang Ning's smug look. If she closes this deal, she'll get a lot of bonuses."

"She gets a bonus, and so do we!"

"How can that be the same? She gets a hundred, and we only get ten. Anyway, I've watched her grow bigger and bigger, and I'm not convinced."

"Give me these jobs, I can do them too! She's just relying on her looks to get those men to willingly protect her."

Lucy was full of resentment.

When she talks to Xu Jie, he always acts like she's making a fuss and advises her to focus on her work and not to be overly ambitious.

Only when she talked to Lin Tao could he truly empathize with her and comfort her.

"Lucy, I feel sorry for you too. You were a perfectly good secretary, and now you've become a waitress, being ordered around to do this and that all day long."

If it were me, I would…

Lin Tao hesitated, his fox-like eyes darting around, as if he were plotting something.

Lucy's curiosity was piqued, which led him to speak freely.

After listening to Lin Tao's advice, she suddenly realized what he meant, and a wicked smile appeared on her lips.

That evening, she arrived at the transit point.

The person who usually likes to wear red and green was dressed in all black today, with her hair pinned up and wearing a baseball cap.

She was also wearing a large mask that almost completely covered her face.

The transshipment area was full of containers. She went to the loading area where the goods were to be loaded onto the ship the next day and looked for container number twenty-one.

She secretly saw this when she was pouring water for Jack.

Unexpectedly, that unintentional glance led to such a smooth success for her plan.

She quickly found container number 21, which had no padlock. She easily lit a piece of cotton cloth soaked in gasoline and stuffed it into the container.

"who?"

Just then, the people patrolling the yard saw a dark figure running towards her.

Her heart tightened, and she ran away as fast as she could.

Unfortunately, when I ran to a tree by the roadside, my hat got caught on a branch, and my hair clip also came off.

Without thinking twice, she quickly ran towards her residential area.

The residential area has a complex terrain, and once she returns to the residential area, she can change her clothes and no one can recognize her.

When she got home, she found Xu Jie there and asked him guiltily why he came so late.

Xu Jie naturally missed her, and he held her as he prepared to sleep.

Lucy thought it was better to keep her here; if anyone asked where she was yesterday, Xu Jie could testify for her.

With that in mind, she began to respond to him enthusiastically.

Xu Jie was taken aback by her sudden enthusiasm, but without thinking much of it, he began to take off her clothes.

The next day, news of the container fire at the transit center made it onto the morning news.

On TV, flames were seen engulfing the transshipment yard. Not only container number 21 was destroyed, but all the containers next to it were also burned.

The direct economic loss amounted to 500,000 yuan.

Another person was injured and is currently receiving emergency treatment in the hospital, remaining in a coma.

When Lucy saw that people were injured, she was so frightened that she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

She just wanted to burn Jiang Ning's goods so she couldn't complete her task; how could she have hurt anyone?

Things get complicated once someone gets hurt.

However, the thought that Jiang Ning must be in just as much pain as she was gave her a twisted sense of pleasure.

She's already run away, so what's there to be afraid of?

But when she saw Jiang Ning's calm and composed face, she was dumbfounded.

How could she remain so composed?

Could it be...?

She dared not think any further.

I moved closer to them, eavesdropping on their conversation, and my heart sank deeper and deeper.

Jiang Ning's container was not number 21 at all. Because it was temporarily occupied, her container was moved to number 108, which was further back.

The fire last night didn't even reach her container.

Although the shipment of those containers had to be delayed by two days due to the fire at the transit center, it didn't harm her in the slightest.

Lucy was so angry she almost vomited blood. It turned out that her actions had actually helped her get revenge for the unjustified occupation of the shipping container.

She was angry, she regretted, and she was even more terrified.

As the news on TV broadcasted the search for eyewitnesses, she broke out in a cold sweat with nervousness.
