While he was thinking, he saw the high-pressure water cannon on top of the fire truck suddenly increase its strength. Under the impact of the water current, the fire on the roof of the warehouse also began to extinguish rapidly, until it completely disappeared.
The sky was dark, but from their point of view, there was no problem with the exterior of the warehouse.
The leader of the fire department walked over and said with a serious expression: "This fire was deliberately done by someone. We still don't know who exactly it is. If you do, you'd better tell us immediately. "Otherwise, it would be different if we wait for the investigation."
"It's gone just like that? Wait, what did you put in warehouse number 3 until now? "These are all the best literary games, and are all worth billions. If they are burned, the losses will be immeasurable!" Zhou An's heart skipped a beat as he spoke with a serious expression on his face.
"We've already extinguished the fire, but the fire prevention work should have been done by you. As for the condition of the property, you will have to go in and take inventory yourselves. But let me remind you, the fire has just been put out, and the situation inside is still unclear. "
The fire fighters only cared about extinguishing the fire and saving the people. They didn't care how much value geometry was hidden inside. Hearing Zhou An's words, he calmly said, "There is still a large amount of smoke inside. It will take at least a few hours to dissipate, so don't go in for now."
"And this fire is man-made, so we have to investigate and find the person. If you have any clues, you'd better tell me now. Otherwise, when we find out what happened, it would be bad if we could convict you of covering up. Do you two have something to say? "
Naturally, Zhou An didn't dare to speak a word. He remained motionless, as if he hadn't heard a thing.
Lin Jing smiled and said, "Comrade, I do have some clues. My friend had noticed the problem and immediately rushed over, only to bump into someone! "
"Person, who is it? Is it the one who set the fire?" the fire chief asked in a low voice. If they did catch him, it would reduce a lot of trouble and just follow the rules. That was why he asked the direct question.
"I'm not sure about that, but I can invite my friend and the person he found here to talk." Lin Jing said.
Zhang San and his team walked over from the warehouse. They seemed to have been hiding behind it. When they got closer, he said to the firefighter with a smile: "It was this kid who set the fire. If you want to ask, ask him!"
Seeing Zhang San bring the people out, Zhou An's entire body trembled. This person was a member of their Zhou family, there was no doubt about it. The point is how this problem should be explained now. Should he just give up on this fellow?
With a roll of his eyes, Zhou An came up with an idea. After all, they were the type of people who did not succeed in doing anything, so there was no point in keeping them.
Although they had just arrested someone and confronted him, Lin Jingxin was very clear on the fact that Zhou An would not admit to it. However, this was not his goal. He had already figured out what Feng Kui and Zhang San were thinking. However, that was somewhat idealistic. After all, those of the Zhou family might not be able to represent the Zhou family.
Without waiting for Zhou An to speak, Lin Jing smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou, I'm really sorry. I've made a big mistake. The warehouse has just been handed over to us, the Precious Forest Academy, and such a thing already happened.
As he spoke to here, Lin Jing deliberately paused, giving that person a meaningful look. He then continued, "But I can assure you that similar problems will not occur a second time." The person that we captured today will be given to you guys to handle. How about we take care of everything here? "
"Mister Lin, this... "You are too polite. Since it's like this, I definitely have no objections and will do as you say." Zhou An hesitated for a moment. Lin Jingyan had made it very clear that this person could be handed over to him. However, from now on, Baolin would be in charge of the dock.
This responsibility was very different from the previous responsibility. Although it had been overseen by Lin Jing's men, the truth was that it was still controlled by the Zhou family. Because of this, they could brazenly bring a large amount of kerosene into the warehouse. If he nodded now, the situation would be completely different.
Even before the things in the warehouse were loaded onto ships and shipped out of the dock, the Zhou family couldn't even get close. This was completely different from their original plan. However, if Zhou An didn't agree, and Lin Jing was in Lin Jing's hands, if he didn't let this matter go, it would be difficult to deal with him.
Therefore, in the end, Zhou An had still agreed to Lin Jing's request with great determination.
After all, the dock was given to the Baolin temple, and the Zhou family could not come into contact with it for the time being, so they could not use any unexpected reasons to achieve their goal.
In truth, Lin Jing had already expected Zhou An to agree to his conditions. The reason he was so confident was because at this point, the Zhou family actually did not have many choices. Unless they were willing to give up all the layouts and efforts they had made, as if none of this had happened.
Obviously, this was impossible. Just the entertainment in the warehouse alone would require a lot of manpower and financial resources to collect. Moreover, after leaving the Precious Forest Academy, no one would be able to support them. If Lin Jing decided to order some food for them later, that would be a huge matter.
"Mr. Zhou is very grateful for his willingness to believe in our Paulinus. Don't worry. When I get back, I'll definitely come up with a new plan to protect you. I'll show it to you when the time comes. Oh right, I still need to trouble you to inform Zhou Family Head about the delay at the pier for a day or two. After all, something like this has happened, so we need to redo the inventory and then make the arrangements. "
Zhou An's heart stirred. Wasn't Lin Jing supposed to shorten the time and quickly deliver the items to him in order to ensure that they wouldn't crash into his hands? Why didn't he ask to send the goods out immediately, and instead took the initiative to delay the worse time, what kind of scheme was in this?
"Mr. Lin, I have to go back and discuss this with the Patriarch. As you know, for this business trip, our Zhou family has paid a huge price. "Although I am in charge now, I still need to ask the higher-ups before I can decide." Zhou An said hesitantly.
"It's alright. You can go back and discuss it with the Zhou family head. We'll keep the inventory count here." If Clan Head Zhou feels that there is no need for that, you can also directly load the boat without completing the inventory. " Lin Jing chuckled. His expression didn't seem to care at all about the final decision of the Zhou family.
"Thank you, Mister Lin. If there's nothing else, I'll take this man back and deal with it." Zhou An narrowed his eyes and said.
"Mr. Zhou, please do." As Lin Jing said this, he motioned for Zhang San to hand over the items to Zhou An. In any case, he had already gotten what he wanted.
No matter what, the Zhou family had suffered a huge loss this time. Even if it wasn't to the point of shaking up the overall situation, it would at least disrupt the original plan.
Zhang San looked a little hesitant. They had finally caught him with great difficulty. They had thought that they could use this opportunity to solve the Zhou family's problem. They didn't expect that Lin Jing would directly release him. However, Lin Jing had always been the boss. Since he had made the decision to become his subordinate, he naturally wouldn't go against it.
After releasing him, Zhang San watched Zhou An take him away with a look of pity on his face. Lin Jing had already turned his face towards the fire department. Smiling, he said, "I'm really sorry for troubling you." The flammable and explosive oil is still in the warehouse, I'll have to ask you to take care of it. "
The leader frowned and glanced at Lin Jing. Although he had some doubts in his heart, he didn't say anything.
There were too many rich and powerful families on the side of the Wen Jiu City. They had done too many things behind the scenes, even if they wanted to, they couldn't do anything about it. It was better to deal with internal matters.
Lin Jing was naturally relieved to see that the oil in the warehouse had been disposed of by the fire. However, there was another problem that made him feel somewhat awkward.
The security guards at the pier were all still standing there blankly. They didn't recognize Lin Jing, but Zhou An did. As for the steward of the Zhou clan, he had lowered his head, which explained everything. Furthermore, when Lin Fan mentioned the Treasure Landing Temple and Mr. Lin, these people were guarding the warehouse, so they naturally knew who their master was.
However, no one would have thought that the dignified boss of Baolin Temple would be a young cripple. The security squad leader's expression was extremely unsightly.
Just now, he had been trying to coerce and lure Lin Jing out, hoping to extort some information from Lin Jing. Turning around, he discovered that the person he was blackmailing was actually his big boss.
This was not something that could be solved with just a sentence like "A great flood washed away the Dragon King's Temple". In reality, he had no idea what he should do now. As for the others, they just sat there and waited. It was not easy to find a job these days, not to mention there were so many other jobs.
It was a pity that he had no eyes and did not recognize Mt. Tai. Even his own boss could not recognize him. He deserved it. Lin Jing didn't feel this way. Although he knew what these people were thinking and what they wrote, this wasn't the crux of the problem.
Even if they were to open up these people and bring a new batch back, who knows how much time would be needed? What should they do with the gap in the middle? Would the new arrivals be better? It was obvious that Lin Jing wasn't optimistic about this matter. Greed was a human nature, so who wouldn't be willing to make money?
However, even if he did not make a move on these people, he would definitely teach them a lesson.
First, they had to avoid trouble by keeping them here. Second, they had been here for so long, so they were more familiar with the environment and were able to deal with things appropriately. However, those who needed to be beaten had to be beaten, otherwise, the sky would be overturned.
