Chapter 2965 Another fire?
The next night, it didn't get dark very late, but ordinary people had nothing to do, so they finished work early and went home. Some people were even reluctant to light candles, so the house was already dark.
Most of Xiajiang Town was plunged into darkness.
Of course, where there is night, there are lights to correspond to it. On the street, there are several restaurants with bright lights. After all, this is a place where merchants come and go. Some businessmen choose to talk business in restaurants at night. Even if residents living nearby do not turn on lights at home, they can see everything in the room with the lights of the restaurants.
Not to mention the bell-like laughter and soft singing of the singers and dancers in the restaurant.
After a few wealthy businessmen finished their business talks, they sat down to drink. The beautiful girls who were serving them immediately came up to them, sat in their arms, and brought the wine in the cups to their mouths.
Once the business was over, the attention of these wealthy businessmen was all focused on the delicate skin and soft waists of these beauties.
They chased each other and played, Meiji's clothes were stripped off one by one, and the sweet voices and chattering of the young swallows intertwined to create a scene of extravagance and decadence.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
The wealthy businessmen were all having fun and were very unhappy to be interrupted. But then the waiter pushed the door open, bowed and said with a smile, "Gentlemen, the master of the private room next door said that the noise over there is too loud, so please keep it down."
"What?!"
When the wealthy businessmen heard this, they became furious.
They were drinking and joking here, and no one ever dared to bother them. Where did someone come from who was so bold as to spoil their fun?
One of the leaders immediately stood up and said, "Damn it, who is so ignorant? I want to see."
After saying that, he was about to walk out.
The waiter was originally afraid of the guest in the next room, so he had to come over to carefully remind them. He didn't expect that they would also get into trouble. He hurried to persuade them, but these people had drunk a little bit of wine, and the smell of alcohol was too strong to persuade them. They pushed him away with one hand and rushed to the door of the private room next door.
The wealthy businessman knocked on the door vigorously and said, "Who's in there? Get out!"
The door of the private room was closed tightly, and there was no sound at all.
The people outside thought they were afraid, so they became even more aggressive and pounded on the door a few more times, saying, "Weren't you so fierce just now? You think I'm bothering you? Come out and show me who is so arrogant that you dare to think I'm bothering you."
There was still no movement inside the door.
However, there was a burst of noise coming from the quiet street outside.
A few people were about to bang on the door when they heard someone shouting downstairs.
"Ah, why is it on fire again?!"
When everyone heard this, they hurried to the side of the building and looked outside.
Not far ahead, I saw a burst of fire shooting up into the sky.
Everyone was stunned, staring at the flames with wide eyes. Just a few days ago, Hengsheng Bank's small river warehouse by the river caught fire, alarming most of Xiajiang Town. Unexpectedly, another fire broke out just two days later.
But where is that place?
The waiter standing at the stairs looked for a long time and suddenly said, "That looks like Gaosheng Inn!"
"Gaosheng Inn?"
One of the wealthy businessmen thought for a moment, then immediately turned around and called to the other person in the room, saying, "Old Zhao, come over here and see if the Gaosheng Inn is on fire. You said a few days ago that the other party who was going to take on that big deal with your Guantong Bank was staying at the Gaosheng Inn."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xin, the owner of Guantongxing, hurried out of the room.
Looking outside, I saw a huge fire bursting out of the windows on the second floor of Gaosheng Inn, and thick smoke was rolling into the sky along with the flames.
He was terrified: "This, this is that room!"
The people around were also shocked: "What, really?"
"Your client lived there. Wasn't he burned to death there?"
"What about business?"
"What's the point of talking about business when the person is dead?"
Zhao Xin was so angry that he stamped his feet and said fiercely, "Damn it! I mobilized several cargo ships, and unexpectedly—actually people died. This is really a trap for me!"
Having said that, he ran downstairs angrily.
Not only him, but many people on the street also saw the fire and ran towards Gaosheng Inn.
At the Gaosheng Inn, the guests staying on the first floor were all panicking and running out, their clothes draped over their shoulders. The innkeeper and the waiter had already escaped, but the fire on the second floor was growing bigger and bigger, about to engulf the entire inn. The innkeeper was so anxious that he stamped his feet and shouted, "Hurry up and put out the fire!"
The waiters all went to get buckets of water to put out the fire.
Everyone was in chaos and no one noticed that in a corner, several men in black were watching the flames on the second floor of Gaosheng Inn gradually engulf the entire inn. A sinister smile appeared on their faces, and they turned and left, their figures quickly blending into the night.
While the situation over there was already a mess, in the restaurant over here, the drunk man was still pounding on the door, drunkenly shouting, "Come out!"
Someone nearby was already trying to persuade him: "Old Li, forget it. Look, there's a fire over there."
"The fire has nothing to do with me! I'm going to stay here all day. Whoever makes me unhappy will be made unhappy too!"
After saying that, he turned around and was about to knock on the door again.
At this moment, the door that had been closed suddenly opened.
A tall figure walked out from inside.
He was tall, with a stern face, and his whole body exuded an aura of majesty without even being angry. As soon as he opened the door, everyone in the restaurant felt an unknown pressure coming from all directions, making it hard to breathe.
The person knocking on the door was also stunned.
The man lowered his head and looked at him coldly.
That look was cold and sharp, piercing straight into the heart. The rich businessman suddenly shuddered, and all the wine he had drunk turned into cold sweat, soaking his clothes in an instant.
I didn't even dare to speak.
The man walked out slowly, followed by a noble lady in gorgeous clothes, with an equally stern expression and a somewhat unattainable demeanor, and several servants with equally extraordinary demeanor.
The group went downstairs.
The entire restaurant fell silent until these people left. Then they came to their senses. One of them walked to the door and gently patted the wealthy businessman who was still in a daze, but saw his legs go weak and he fell to the ground.
Everyone immediately helped him up.
"Old Li, what's wrong with you?"
"Why are you kneeling down again?"
"Hurry up, get up!"
Everyone helped him up. The man looked downstairs with cold sweat on his forehead and shivered uncontrollably.
Who was that person who just walked out?
