Li Ping's cell phone suddenly rang.
He smiled apologetically at Tang Xiaobao and then answered the phone.
But soon, he stood up, his face changed drastically. "What did you say? The weavers' building of the textile factory, right? Have you notified the fire department? Okay, okay, I'll be right over and will do my best to put out the fire and save people!"
After hanging up the phone, Li Ping's forehead was full of black lines.
"Xiao Tang, well, there's an emergency I need to deal with. Let Rose take you home later. I'll treat you to a nice dinner at home another day. Tonight really spoiled your fun."
Tang Xiaobao quickly asked, "Secretary Li, is there a fire somewhere?"
"Yes, there's a fire in the weavers' quarters of the textile factory, and I must rush to the scene immediately."
"Let me go with you. I'm worried about you drinking."
Qi Qin also quickly stood up.
"Okay, let's go. You drive."
Li Ping ran out quickly with Qi Qin.
When going out today, Li Ping did not take the bus, nor did he call a secretary or driver.
He had just received a call from his secretary, informing him that a fire had broken out. As the head of the municipal party committee, he had to rush to the scene to direct the firefighting efforts.
Rose was also a little worried and said, "Brother Tang, let me take you back."
"All right."
Tang Xiaobao said.
When the two of them went out, the manager was at the front desk.
Rose went to pay the bill, and the manager quickly told her that Director Yi had already paid the bill.
After getting in the car, Rose drove, and Tang Xiaobao asked, "Do you know where the textile factory workers' quarters is?"
"Ah, Brother Tang, are you going to the fire scene?"
"right."
"No, absolutely not. It's very dangerous there."
Rose immediately shook her head.
Just kidding, she didn't want Tang Xiaobao to take any risks.
Tang Xiaobao smiled and said, "Have you forgotten? I know Kung Fu. Besides, I'm just going to watch the fun. Maybe I can help later."
"But--"
"No buts, if you don't take me with you, I'll get a taxi."
Tang Xiaobao didn't want to waste any more time and just said it.
Rose was helpless and said, "Okay, actually I want to go over and take a look, but you must not take any risks. There are firefighters to put out fires. This is a very professional and dangerous job."
"I understand. Let's go."
Rose's driving skills were not very good, so it took her half an hour to reach the textile factory staff residential area.
From a distance, I saw a cordon at the entrance of the community. Ambulances were constantly coming in and out, with thick smoke billowing inside and screams coming from time to time.
"Stop, this place is under martial law, no one is allowed to enter."
A policeman came forward to block the road.
Rose suddenly had a clue and said, "Comrade police officer, Municipal Party Committee Secretary Li Ping is my father. I'm here to give him a cell phone. He forgot to bring his phone when he had dinner just now."
"You won't lie to me, will you?"
When the police officer heard this, he became suspicious.
But because it involved the municipal party secretary, his attitude softened a lot.
Rose said, "Do you think I need to lie to you at this time? If you don't believe me, go ask my dad."
How could the young policeman have such courage? He thought that there was really no need for Rose to lie to him, so he let her go.
The car drove to the residential complex and parked. From a distance, many residents, policemen, and firefighters were seen under a building. Municipal Party Committee Secretary Li, Mayor Xiong, and a number of senior officials of the Municipal Party Committee were all present. Tang Xiaobao also saw a familiar figure, who was his sworn brother Wei Bing, who is now the deputy director of the Municipal Bureau and also serves as the captain of the criminal police team. Standing next to him was none other than Wei Donglai, but Wei Donglai is now the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission. No one knew why he did not appear at the airport with Wei Bing today.
This staff residential complex was built in the 1990s. It is composed of ten-story buildings. An elevator was installed a few years ago and it has been renovated, but it still looks a bit old.
The textile factory is the largest state-owned enterprise in Bazhong, with thousands of employees, almost all of whom live in this old residential area.
Tang Xiaobao wiped his face and the disguise was complete.
Rose was introducing the textile factory to him when she saw the people around her suddenly changed. She was startled and looked around, but couldn't find Tang Xiaobao. Then she asked curiously, "Who are you?"
"It's me."
Tang Xiaobao winked at him.
Rose's eyes widened, her mouth opened, and she finally reacted: "Brother Tang, what are you doing?"
"Nothing, I just don't want to be recognized. You can't reveal my identity later."
Tang Xiaobao gave a warning.
Rose nodded subconsciously and quickly asked, "Brother Tang, what are you going to do? You can't do anything rash. You promised me not to take any risks."
"Don't worry, I'm just here to see what's going on. Let's go over and ask."
Tang Xiaobao walked towards the crowd first.
"Why haven't those firefighters come out yet?"
"Yeah, it's been a while since I went in."
"There's a fire on the eighth floor, and it's almost reaching the fifth floor."
"Oh my god, luckily I ran fast, otherwise I would be dead today."
"I just came back from dinner when I heard there was a fire on our floor. It's over, it's over. My house is completely ruined."
"Old Li, you should be thankful that your family is standing here unharmed. Don't worry about your family problems. The government will solve them for you sooner or later. There's no need to rush."
"Poor Wang Cheng's family! I heard that most of Wang Cheng's body was burned."
"I don't know if I can survive yet."
…
Everyone was talking about it.
Tang Xiaobao slowly understood.
The fire suddenly caught on the eighth floor. Due to the dry weather and the fact that these were all old buildings, the fire quickly spread to the seventh floor and is now almost on the fifth floor.
The fire was simply out of control.
Several groups of firefighters have entered, and most of them have retreated. Now there are only seven people still inside rescuing people. They are also the last group of firefighters. Outside, firefighters are putting out the fire, and two ladders have been set up.
Not far away, several injured officials were being carried into an ambulance. Two of them were still reluctant and wanted to rush into the fire again.
Seeing this scene, Tang Xiaobao was a little moved.
What a lovely group of people, no, great people.
Normally, no one notices their existence, but once a disaster occurs, they are always at the forefront, fighting for their lives with the god of death.
Suddenly, two firefighters rushed out from the corridor and ran towards this side staggeringly. They were holding a man and a woman in their arms, neither of whom were seriously injured. However, they themselves were severely burned, and most of their clothes were burned.
Someone immediately went to meet them.
The rescued victims were sent to the ambulance, while the two officers and soldiers fainted on the ground.
Medical staff immediately rushed forward to provide first aid.
A group of leaders, led by Li Ping, quickly surrounded them.
