Chapter 2676: Intentional Arson
"Gao Shusheng is not a good person. I used so thods."
Jiang Xiao felt no psychological burden and directly told Gao Shan that she had taken so asures against his nephew.
Gao Shan was stunned for a mont, then burst into laughter.
As he laughed, he beca sowhat dejected and said, "Everyone outside says I’ve been removed, but the truth is I didn’t want to continue. Yes, it has to do with the fire back then. Let tell you this, I investigated it myself, and learned what those deceased children were like usually. I don’t believe it was them playing with fire that caused the blaze."
Jiang Xiao was shocked upon hearing this.
She looked at Gao Shan, her gaze turning sharp.
"Yes, you heard right. I have always believed the fire wasn’t caused by those kids playing with fire. I insisted on investigating the cause of the fire, but faced trendous resistance. Because of this, Chun Hong fought with , took the remaining people, and left, disappearing without a trace. Due to pressure from above, because they said if I kept investigating, I’d lose my position as town mayor. I directly stepped down from that post."
Speaking of this, he looked down at his legs, his hands clasped tightly on his kneecaps.
Jiang Xiao instinctively asked, "Director Gao’s leg?"
"You noticed? It wasn’t la before. Later, I got beaten up, a group of people gang-attacked , even threatened if I continued investigating, none of my family would survive. That night, my elderly father knelt by my bedside, tears streaming, begging to stop the investigation. Three days later, I left Linchang Town with them and ca here. The factory director here was a forr comrade-in-arms, he took in, allowing to serve as a director in the workshop."
Jiang Xiao felt a choking sensation in her chest, unable to speak for a long ti.
Gao Shan also glanced out the window and sighed, saying, "Miss Jiang, why do I believe you? It might be because your eyes have a sense of justice, and you carry an aura, how should I put it, like a soldier."
"My fiancé is the Supervisor Guard," Jiang Xiao said.
The Supervisor Guard? No wonder, the Supervisor Guard is also upright and imposing.
"Subtle influence?" Gao Shan chuckled, "It’s possible too. I didn’t expect Miss Jiang to be so young and already engaged."
"You used to be a soldier?"
"Yes, I even went to the battlefield." Gao Shan laughed bitterly, "I used to think being a soldier ant having decent skills, but as I got older, after being mayor for so long, my skills have deteriorated."
"What do you think caused the fire?"
"Soone set it intentionally," Gao Shan asserted, "If it wasn’t deliberate, it wouldn’t burn so fiercely because I investigated it myself. The location they said the kids were playing with fire wasn’t the actual source. Also, if they were indeed playing there, with the wind that night, the fire wouldn’t have spread like that. I rember that night very clearly, there was a freak wind, Linchang Town occasionally experiences quick shifts in wind patterns."
Gao Shan proceeded to analyze the situation he discovered back then to Jiang Xiao.
According to the conclusion given by those people, it was around nine o’clock when several kids wanted to roast sweet potatoes and accidentally started a fire.
But around nine, he happened to be out checking the town because a sudden wind rose up. So elderly households might not have closed their doors and windows properly. He had this habit of night patrolling, so he was outside at that ti and rembered it clearly.
The wind whipped up.
It wasn’t until around ten o’clock that it cald, and then soone discovered the fire burning at Luofeng Institute.
The blaze was intense, spreading rapidly, and they couldn’t put it out.
