Chapter 161
At 1 a.m., a phone call woke Yi Feng.
Yi Feng picked up the phone and saw that it was a call from Wang Tie.
Why would Wang Tie call at this time?
Yi Feng’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly answered the call.
“Wang Tie, what’s wrong?”
“Brother Feng, something terrible has happened! I just got a call, our Changqing Road store has been set on fire!”
“What?!”
Yi Feng sat up from the bed in shock.
Half an hour later, Yi Feng and Wang Tie arrived at Changqing Road, only to see flames soaring into the sky, two fire trucks spraying water, and firefighters bustling around, trying to extinguish the blaze.
“Fuck!” Yi Feng cursed angrily, clenching his fist.
“It’s over, this store is finished...” Wang Tie was also stunned.
Yi Feng quickly calmed down and said, “Let’s go, let’s help, we need to get the fire under control as soon as possible, we can’t let it spread to other nearby stores.”
“I hope the surveillance mainframe in the store hasn’t been burnt!”
The two immediately joined the firefighting efforts.
Five hours later, just after 6 a.m., it was beginning to get light.
After completing the police report, Yi Feng returned to the storefront, looking at the shop reduced to a pile of charred ruins, his anger surging, nearly exploding.
If it were someone else, they would have already been crying and wailing in despair.
But Yi Feng knew that crying was useless, wailing was useless, the only thing to do was to calmly deal with the situation, then find the arsonist and bring him to justice!
However... even broken things could be useful.
“Brother Feng, who could be so despicable to set our store on fire?”
“Do you think it could have been done by the Shengde Company?” Wang Tie asked furiously.
Yi Feng’s expression darkened, “It’s possible, but... burning this store wouldn’t profit them much.”
“Wang Tie, think about who benefits from this incident.”
Wang Tie paused, then clenched his teeth, “It’s Zhao Xingyue!”
With this store burnt down, Zhao Xingye’s would be the only computer store left on this street, eliminating his most potent business competitor.
From any angle, Zhao Xingye stood to gain the most from this incident.
Yi Feng nodded, his voice cold, “I suspected it might be related to Zhao Xingye from the start... but without the surveillance system, we have no solid evidence.”
“Without evidence, we can’t investigate him!”
“Moreover, our store was the only one on the entire street with surveillance, even the street corners have no cameras, making it difficult to gather evidence.”
Wang Tie, anxious, said, “Then what do we do? If the police can’t find evidence, are we just supposed to swallow this loss?”
Yi Feng held up the hard disk, shaking it, “Maybe this, still has some use.”
“Uh... Brother Feng, isn’t this thing broken? What use could it possibly have?” Wang Tie asked, completely puzzled.
Yi Feng’s eyes showed a cold glint, calmly stating, “Broken or not, it’s still useful, keep it for now, we’ll deal with Zhao Xingye later!”
