Every cell in Ma Huiwen's body was filled with terror.
"Yes, ever since you left, she has been targeting my sister. If I hadn't hidden them, Kunkun would have been dead long ago."
Lin Tao gritted his teeth in hatred, "She's trying to kill off my lineage!"
But he also knew that if the police really arrested her, she would have to implicate him, so it seemed that the only option was to silence her.
"Can you do me a favor?" Lin Tao asked.
"What is it? Tell me."
"Go and block the back door so they can't escape."
Ma Huiwen assumed that he had also anticipated their possible escape, which was why he blocked the back door, and told him that she had already blocked the back door.
"good."
Lin Tao responded, then took a mask out of his pocket and put it on.
"You wait here, I'll be right back."
As he spoke, he entered the dance hall, took out a can of gasoline he had prepared in advance from under the counter, and burned it along the entrance and the corner of the wall.
At this moment, in the dimly lit dance hall, shadows swayed, and no one noticed that someone was burning gasoline.
By the time someone smelled the gasoline and realized something was wrong, Lin Tao had already walked out the door and thrown a lit lighter inside.
The dance hall was immediately set ablaze, and the fire spread rapidly along the walls.
Fortunately, the people in the drum hall were close to the door, and they screamed and ran away.
But those in the private rooms inside weren't so lucky.
It takes a lot of courage to run out of there; some people inhaled the thick smoke and immediately lost consciousness.
Jiang Rou's private room was the innermost one.
They were the last to know there was a fire, and by the time she tried to escape through the back door, she found it was locked.
At that moment, Jiang Ning was still working overtime in the office when she sensed a strong light outside.
She went to the window and saw that the KTV was on fire.
A powerful plume of black smoke enveloped the entire building, and flames could be seen inside through the glass windows.
She quickly dialed the fire department's number.
When the dance hall was being renovated, in order to save money, all the materials used were not fireproof, so once there was a source of fire, it would burn very quickly.
Moreover, with the added fuel of gasoline, almost the entire KTV was engulfed in flames within ten minutes.
Some of the survivors stood there, while others sat, watching the fire engulf the dance hall, feeling both lingering fear and relief.
Luckily they ran fast; those who didn't make it out are probably doomed.
After the fire trucks arrived, they started boiling water inside while sending people in to search for survivors.
Lin Tao had already fled the scene and made Ma Huiwen promise that she had never seen him.
I will come back to find Kunkun after things have settled down.
Looking at the unstoppable fire, Ma Huiwen finally realized that Lin Tao had started it.
He was really ruthless to prevent Bai Mian from being exposed.
Ma Huiwen stayed outside, observing and trying to find out about Jiang Rou's situation.
More than half an hour later, the fire gradually died down, and the people inside were all carried out.
Some people are just a black line, turning directly into charcoal.
Some of the people who came out were severely burned and were rushed to the hospital.
With a mix of trepidation and anticipation, Ma Huiwen awaited Jiang Rou's fate.
Not long after, she saw Jiang Rou being carried out.
She wasn't dead; she clutched her leg and screamed.
Her face was blackened by the fire, and her clothes were burned and deformed. She must have been seriously injured.
Firefighters found a package next to her containing a lot of flour that hadn't been burned yet.
They handed all of that over to the police.
The rescue operation continued until the second day.
Everyone inside has been found.
It has been confirmed that three people have died and fifteen have been injured, including two with severe burns.
Jiang Rou was the most severely burned, with burns covering 50% of her body.
Because the smoke and dust have irritated my throat, I can't speak right now.
Because of the large amount of heroin found around her, the police considered her a prime suspect and demanded that doctors revive her and allow her to speak.
When Sister Hong heard the news, she was terrified and rushed to the hospital.
Lu Ming and Jiang Rou were both at the nightclub; it was unknown whether they had escaped or not.
When they arrived at the hospital, they found that Lu Ming had suffered a minor burn to his throat, but was otherwise fine. Jiang Rou, however, was still undergoing emergency treatment.
She and Lu Ming waited outside the operating room and asked him what had happened.
"How was I supposed to know? It suddenly caught fire. Luckily, I ran fast, or I would have been burned too."
Lu Ming was also unaware of the situation.
But soon, Lu Ming was summoned by the police to inquire about Jiang Rou's situation.
"You're her brother, do you know who she usually associates with? Have you noticed anything unusual about her?"
Lu Ming enjoys gambling. Whenever he has money, he goes to play cards with a bunch of cronies. He doesn't know much about Jiang Rou's situation.
Because there were seven or eight people in Jiang Rou's private room at the time, all of whom had burns of varying degrees, it was uncertain whose white powder they found belonged to.
The police can only learn about these people by visiting their relatives.
Even Sister Hong was asked a lot of questions.
A large quantity of heroin was found in the nightclub, and the fire has already alerted the criminal police.
The surrounding shops were also investigated and visited.
Of course, few people had anything good to say about Jiang Rou. Their karaoke room was extremely loud, to the point of seriously disturbing the peace, and multiple police calls had not resolved the issue.
Everyone is speculating about what powerful connections the owner of this karaoke bar has.
After seeing off the police officers who had come to inquire, Jiang Ning returned to her office, where Xu Yan and Wang Meizhu curiously entered the room.
"Why do they question everyone they catch?" Xu Yan complained.
Jiang Ning poured herself a glass of water.
"It's just a routine matter, don't worry about it."
Xu Yan suddenly remembered the textile factory and asked:
"After the Wenshi Textile Factory changed its leadership, it suffered from poor management and is now facing bankruptcy. Mr. Jiang, what are your thoughts on this?"
The textile factory was in such dire financial straits that the newly appointed leadership was constantly trying to plug the holes, yet it was still squeezed out of its last bit of survival space by its competitors in the fierce competition.
If they take over the textile factory, they'll have a complete control over the entire apparel industry, from raw materials and production to sales.
Jiang Ning wanted to hear Xu Yan's opinion.
Xu Yan's bias allowed Yu Xiao to take over the textile factory.
She and Yu Xiao are now purely business partners, with no ulterior motives. However, she still believes that if they can control the fabric supply well, they can make bolder reforms to their clothing designs in the future, adapting to people's diverse needs for clothing.
Seeing that Xu Yan had an idea, Jiang Ning told her to get started.
Regarding the cost, the company will provide full support.
A few days later, the bidding for the textile factory proceeded smoothly under the auspices of the government.
Xu Yan and relevant personnel from Yansha Garment Factory participated in the bidding.
Lying in the hospital, Wen Manman had just finished seeing Jiang Rou when she heard this news. She felt a wave of dizziness wash over her and almost fainted.
