Chapter 1126 Great Fire
Several trucks were parked inside Warehouse No. 2, their doors open, and more than twenty people were sweating as they moved the cargo boxes inside.
Several people stood by the cargo, kicking the boxes out after taking them down. The remaining people caught the goods near the truck and loaded them onto the vehicle.
There were so many goods, densely stacked together, nearly two hundred boxes. These people had been working for most of the day, but they had only managed to move dozens of boxes.
"Faster! Move faster, all of you!" Chao-ge stood in the carriage of a truck, catching the goods and constantly urging the others.
Just as everyone was working enthusiastically, a lackey walked breathlessly to the wall. As he lifted a heavy box, he suddenly frowned and sniffed hard.
"What the hell are you doing?" Chao-ge saw the lackey standing by the wall and shouted at him, "Hurry up and move!"
The lackey turned his head and hurriedly said, "Chao-ge, something's wrong, I smell smoke!"
"Where's the smoke coming from..." Chao-ge sniffed, but before he could finish his sentence, he also smelled a burnt odor.
"Fire! Chao-ge, fire!" Outside the gate, a lackey pointed at the adjacent Warehouse No. 1 and shouted in panic.
"Damn!" Chao-ge quickly dropped the box in his hand, jumped out of the truck, and walked quickly to the outside of the warehouse.
As soon as he came out, Xiao Chao was stunned. He saw that Warehouse No. 1 next door had somehow caught fire, and even the walls with fireproof panels were burning.
"Damn it!" Chao-ge suddenly came back to his senses and shouted, "Don't just stand there like idiots, put out the fire!"
Everyone reacted and began to put out the fire in a panic. Some picked up fire extinguishers, while others connected fire hydrants and sprayed wildly at Warehouse No. 1.
"Pfft!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
No matter how hard everyone worked, the fire didn't seem to diminish, but instead burned more vigorously. Because the fire started from inside the warehouse, where a large number of ordinary goods were piled up, and there were quite a few flammables.
Rolling black smoke soared into the sky, and soon the fire spread to Warehouse No. 2, forming a sea of fire.
One of the lackeys couldn't help but curse, "Damn! Did someone pour gasoline? Why can't we put it out? Even the walls are on fire."
Chao-ge's face was blackened by the smoke. Seeing that the fire was not diminishing, he immediately shouted to his men, "Cough, cough... stop putting out the fire, quickly drive all the trucks out, otherwise the goods will be trapped inside!"
Several people took advantage of the fire not spreading over yet, rushed into the warehouse, and drove the trucks out...
At the same time, in a residential building not far away, residents saw the fire outside and quickly called the police.
Five minutes later, several trucks had already been driven outside.
A group of people gathered near the trucks, panting from exhaustion, surrounded by used fire extinguishers. In front of them, a row of warehouses was burning, and all they could hear was the crackling of the fire.
Chao-ge wiped his black face and saw that the fire could no longer be contained, so he immediately took out his mobile phone and made a call.
...
At the same time, in a black SUV, Lu Guangwei sat in the car with a gloomy expression.
"Ding-ling-ling!"
The phone rang, Lu Guangwei answered the phone, and Chao-ge's voice came from inside: "Big brother... the warehouse is on fire..."
"What the hell?"
As soon as Lu Guangwei heard this, he was about to explode, and immediately cursed: "Are you guys a bunch of trash? More than twenty people, and you just watched the fire start?"
Chao-ge hurriedly explained: "Big brother, we don't know either! The fire started in Warehouse No. 1, and we were all working in Warehouse No. 2 at the time! By the time everyone found out, the fire was already out of control."
Lu Guangwei's head was buzzing, and he hurriedly asked: "How much stuff is still inside?"
Chao-ge thought for a moment and said: "About a hundred boxes..."
Lu Guangwei clenched his fists and slammed them heavily on the armrest next to him, his forehead bulging with veins as he cursed: "I cnm! What else can you do? Quickly find a way to deal with the goods inside!! Once the fire starts, and the fire brigade arrives, everything will be exposed!"
"Yes!" Chao-ge responded and hung up the phone.
Lu Guangwei shouted at the driver, "Turn around! Hurry to the warehouse!"
...
At the same time, the Dragon City Police Department.
"Ding-ling-ling!"
Wang Daolin had changed into plain clothes and was ready to get off work. Just as he was about to turn off the lights and leave the office, the phone suddenly rang.
Wang Daolin took out his phone, glanced at the caller ID, and saw that it was an unfamiliar number: "Hello?"
A somewhat sharp voice rang from the phone, obviously distorted: "Chief Wang, I'm reporting anonymously. No. 108 Daokou Xinglong Street, Rongsheng Logistics Company's Warehouse No. 2, contains a large number of psychotropic drugs. I heard you're going to be promoted, are you going to arrest them or not?"
After saying that, without waiting for Wang Daolin to answer, the other party hung up the phone directly.
Wang Daolin held the phone and frowned.
...
Twenty minutes later, in front of Warehouse No. 2.
The warehouse was still burning, and billowing smoke soared into the sky. Outside the warehouse gate, crowds of onlookers gathered.
These people were all standing on tiptoes, peering into the warehouse through the iron gate outside. Most of them were residents from nearby, some lived next to the warehouse, and they were afraid that the fire would affect them, so they ran out in their pajamas.
Many people also picked up their mobile phones and were boredly taking videos, preparing to post them on MicroTweet.
Just then, a white van suddenly stopped on the side of the road. With a crash, the car door was pulled open, and a well-known MicroTweet blogger jumped out of the car with his team.
Two people began to quickly set up the mobile phone for the live broadcast, and then took out fill lights to adjust the lighting. Two other people were holding cosmetics and quickly applying makeup to the blogger.
After everything was done, one of them handed over the microphone, turned on the live broadcast software, and gave the blogger an okay gesture.
The blogger straightened his back, pointed at the warehouse behind him that was emitting thick smoke, and said to the camera: "Family, I just received an anonymous report saying that Rongsheng Logistics Company has a hidden supply of banned psychotropic drugs! I have now arrived at the company's warehouse here, but a raging fire is burning at the scene..."
Just as the blogger was broadcasting live, a member of the team suddenly pointed to the wall next to him and shouted, "Come and see! There are words here!"
"Everyone, there are some new discoveries here!" The blogger pointed to the wall and walked over.
A group of people holding various pieces of equipment walked towards their companion.
Soon, everyone came to a black wall. On the wall, several large characters were written in red spray paint: "The San Guang Society, vengeance is a must! There is a large amount of banned psychotropic drugs hidden here."
