The person who was carried out was Uncle Ming. Of course, there was no need to rescue him because he had lost his breath.
The person on the stretcher was already unconscious, his body was burnt in many places, and his old face could barely be recognized. When Dongfang Liuyun saw clearly, his whole body went limp.
Uncle Ming was right.
He had followed Old Dongfang for many years, and was alone. After Old Dongfang passed away, he also retired. These years, he has always supported Dongfang's family and treated Dongfang Liuyun very well.
Uncle Ming is also Dongfang Liuyun's most respected old man besides old Dongfang, so she can safely hand over Debaozhai to him. No, such a thing will happen...
Obviously, when she came over a few days ago, this kind old man said that he must go to her wedding with Qi Lei, but...
…
The disaster came suddenly, and the loss was huge. Dongfang Liuyun's Debaozhai was almost destroyed, and even another store beside it was also affected.
The fire spread and burned from about ten o'clock in the evening, and was not extinguished until nearly midnight.
Dongfang Liuyun felt that the whole person was in a trance, and he just stood there.
Qi Lei was very worried, and if Yang Sheng rushed over to deal with the funeral, there would probably be disputes later on. Of course, the most important thing was the cause of the accident.
Qi Lei himself is also very clear, obviously a few days ago, the maintenance workers came to check the natural gas pipeline in person, and Uncle Ming is also such a cautious person, so he should not make such a big mistake.
"Young Master Qi, why don't you send Young Madam back to rest first, and leave it to me here. I will take care of Uncle Ming's funeral, and other matters here, please rest assured."
Yang Sheng saw that Dongfang Liuyun's complexion was very bad, and there was naturally some worry in his eyes.
"Well, call us if you have something to do."
After Qi Lei left such a sentence, he also supported Dongfang Liuyun and walked to the car.
…
All of this was so sudden that Dongfang Liuyun was also caught off guard.
In the car, Dongfang Liuyun didn't speak, he was in a state of contemplation, and Qi Lei didn't bother her either.
There was no expression on her face either, just a trace of gloomy pain caught between her brows.
"Drink some water, don't be too sad, the police will investigate the matter clearly, I'll put bath water for you, take a good hug and rest early, huh?"
In the Shengshui villa area, Dongfang Liuyun was sitting on the big sofa in the living room, and Qi Lei thoughtfully poured her a glass of water.
Dongfang Liuyun stretched out his hands weakly to support his drowsy head, took a few breaths, and then said hoarsely, "I still can't believe this is true. Uncle Ming is a very cautious person. how come… "
"Don't think about anything. I think you're not in a good condition. Go upstairs and take a rest. I'll arrange and understand the specific matters."
"Well, I always feel that I can't breathe. Don't let grandma know about this for now. I wanted to go back to see her tomorrow."
Dongfang Liuyun thought for a while, then gave the order, took a sip of water while taking it.
"I'll talk about it after I wake up, Uncle Ming... I'll make arrangements."
"Well, this matter always feels too abrupt to me. Please help me find out what's going on. Recently, these ominous feelings have become more and more intense. I always feel that this matter may not be simple. Uncle Ming... I'm a little … sad… "
When Dongfang Liuyun spoke, the bitterness in his voice was uncontrollable, and he couldn't speak.
"Let's see what's going on first. If there's anything, we'll wait until tomorrow to talk about it. Now go up and have a good rest."
…
The dazed Dongfang Liuyun finally went upstairs under Qi Lei's urging.
Such a big event, of course, cannot escape the media, even though Yang Sheng tried very hard to suppress the news, but the matter was reported to the newspaper the next morning.
Yang Sheng also stayed up almost all night, and rushed over early in the morning.
When the day just dawned, Yang Sheng had already arrived at the Shengshui villa area.
Qi Lei also woke up very early, when Yang Sheng came over, he had already prepared breakfast.
"Sit down and have breakfast together, and talk."
Qi Lei put the dinner plate in his hand on the table in front of him, pointed to the seat opposite him, and signaled Yang Sheng to sit down.
Naturally, Yang Sheng was not polite, and sat down, and Qi Lei also poured warm milk for him.
"Thank you, Young Master Qi."
Yang Sheng took the milk.
"How are things going?"
Qi Lei picked up the knife and fork, began to enjoy his breakfast gracefully, and asked.
Yang Sheng took a sip of milk, and then said, "The police are already investigating the cause of the accident. I asked someone to check the nearby monitors overnight. No abnormalities were found a few hours before the accident. Debaozhai also followed As usual, the door is always open. There are also a lot of guests coming and going, especially now that the end of the year is approaching, and there will be a very large antique auction held in the International Art Exhibition Hall in a few days, so the street is busier than usual. Be more lively."
"Also, Uncle Ming's body will be sent to the police for an autopsy, so..."
Yang Sheng hesitated.
"Then try to cooperate with the police as much as possible. The matter must be cleared up. Go and check if there are any unusual people who have entered Debaozhai recently, and the natural gas company. You should also go and find out. The family members involved , be sure to appease, and don't let things conflict."
Qi Lei explained very neatly.
Yang Sheng nodded, "Don't worry, Young Master Qi, I've already made arrangements. The police are very efficient, we just need to pay more attention. The one who investigated this matter this time was Captain Wang."
"Captain Wang who was in charge of my mother's matter?"
Qi Lei listened, but raised his eyes in a neutral manner, looking at Yang Sheng.
Yang Sheng nodded, "Yes, it's him! It's not only thanks to everyone's efforts, but also his efforts to find out what happened back then."
"Speaking of which, I haven't thanked him properly yet."
Qi Lei said in a low voice, lowered his eyes pensively, thought for a moment, and then continued, "You filter all the recent affairs of the Dongfang family and see if anyone has anything unusual."
"Young Master Qi, do you suspect that someone is attacking Mrs. Young again this time?"
Yang Sheng frowned.
"There have been too many things happening around her recently, which cannot help but make people suspicious. Even if it's not, it's always good to be careful, just go ahead and do it."
Qi Lei calmly took a breath, thinking of Dongfang Liuyun, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
