687 The driving force behind the scenes (1:
The rain had put out most of the fire.
When ning Qing and the others returned, the building had already bee a pile of ruins with white smoke rising from it.
The servants saw them ing back and led them to a new room.
This time, they prepared two rooms.
Not long after, uncle Wu arrived.
Ning Qing and Gu nanzhi were sitting at the table in the brand-new room. Seeing the old man e in, ning Qing asked, ” uncle Wu, you’re still awake? ”
“The police came by just now and made some records.”
Gu nanzhi stood up and gave him her seat. He waved his hand and said guiltily, ” our youran residence has been around for a long time. The owner doesn’t like modern objects. So, I’m afraid it’s difficult to restore the exact situation of the fire.
“……”
I’ve caused you four a lot of trouble. Miss ning and Mr. Nian almost lost their lives. I’ll apologize to you now.
The old man cupped his fists and was about to bow when ning Qing stepped forward to stop him. this is none of your business. You don’t have to blame yourself.
this happened at youran residence. It was my bad management that didn’t check everywhere. I am responsible for this.
Gu nanzhi could not help but nod. you guys are responsible. This building is old and the basic defense is not in place. You burned it all down in one fire.
Fortunately, ning Qing was fine this time. Otherwise, he would have destroyed this youran residence.
“I’m really sorry.” Uncle Wu was extremely ashamed.
Ning Qing said,”don’t be like this. Everyone’s fine now, Zhenzhen.”
She suddenly thought of Nian lie in the hospital and her heart sank.
please look into the fire. If it’s just an accident, you need to get people to inspect every floor. If someone deliberately caused the fire, I don’t think they would be so bold.
After ning Qing denied it, she remembered the factory behind, which was not far from the burned building.
the factory is quite close to the old building we used to live in, ” she said. I wonder if it’s affected there? ”
you don’t have to worry about that, ” uncle Wu said. the craftsmen are a little affected, but the factory is very safe. It won’t delay the construction.
Ning Qing heaved a sigh of relief. that’s good.
He was afraid that something might happen to her and she would not be able to make it in time for the petition.
Ning Qing held the old man’s hand. it’s late. You should go back and rest early.
Uncle Wu nodded and said, ” you two should rest early too. We’ll go to the hospital to visit Mr. Nian tomorrow.
“……”
Uncle Wu left with his men. Gu nanzhi knew that ning Qing had gone through a lot today. alright, you should go to sleep too.
He lifted his legs and walked out, not giving ning Qing a chance to speak.
Ning Qing was indeed tired. With the last of her strength, she took a quick bath in the small cubicle, climbed into bed, and turned over to sleep.
In the pitch-black Garden, uncle Wu walked down the stairs. Under the shadows of the lights, a person walked over and whispered to him, ” I’ve found the person. He’s one of miss Qing Yue’s men.
Uncle Wu paused and turned his head. He was no longer as charitable as before.
“Did you report the news to the master?”
no, I met eldest miss and told her the news.
Uncle Wu’s white brows furrowed. what did miss say? ”
The man lowered his head. he didn’t say much, only that he got it.
Uncle Wu understood a little. After all, the two people upstairs were important guests brought by his miss. Their every move was probably clear to her.
He didn’t want them to know.
Uncle Wu nodded to himself. alright, you may leave.
“Yes.”
The man turned around and quickly disappeared into the dark garden.
