Chapter 683: Escalation of conflict
The police naturally wanted to investigate these arson cases, but Shen Yifan didn't believe that the police could find any clues in his favor, and he would be wronged because of the improper operation of Shen Yifan's home and store, which caused the fire, although the two stores had been closed for a long time, and there was no one in his house.
In the night, the Demon King came to Lanjing City again, and since the other party dared to fight back like this, he must bear the wrath of his revenge!
He brought the wolf Wangcai with him this time, and anyway, the villa was guarded by Masako and Fluttershy, and there were a bunch of youkai who were inconvenient to go out, so there was absolutely no problem with defense.
He first came to the vicinity of the Jinling Hotel, and asked the wolf Wangcai to dig a hole to enter the hotel from underground. He was going to play big tonight, which made the Yuan family feel real pain.
Since the fire broke out a few days ago, the Jinling Hotel has been temporarily closed and is renovating the top few floors, so only the ground floor of the whole building is occupied by security personnel, and there is no one on it.
In addition, in order to prevent the opponent from coming to make trouble in the middle of the night, the Yuan family hired a lot of well-equipped professional bodyguards to guard the surrounding area of the building at night to ensure that no suspicious people could approach.
They never thought that the enemy would come in from underground, because neither Shen Yifan nor the mysterious person who made trouble in Xishan Villa last time had shown this ability.
The Earth Wolf Wangcai remained underground, while the Demon King avoided the inspection of the security personnel on the ground floor and came to the third floor.
He then used the small clods of dirt he was carrying to destroy all the surveillance probes on the surface, and then began to set fires.
The security guards on duty in the monitoring room quickly found the problem, and the monitoring probe on the third floor did not display the image, because it was a special period recently, they were worried about accidents, and hurriedly went to the third floor to check the situation, and found that there was a fire, and the fire was very fierce, so they could only call the police for help.
Just when the people hired by the Yuan family found out that there was a fire on the third floor of the Jinling Hotel, the Demon King had already rushed to the fourth floor, taking the same action, first knocking out the monitoring probe with stones, and then setting it on fire, his efficiency was very high, and the fourth floor soon became a sea of fire, and then he went to the fifth floor.
Due to the special request of the Yuan family, the fire brigade of Lanjing City specially arranged fire trucks near several important assets of the Yuan family, so the fire alarm was reported here, and the fire truck over there quickly arrived and began to spray strong water jets to extinguish the fire.
This only angered the Demon King, Lao Tzu is here to make trouble today, do you dare to fight back?! I'll see how you pay it back! He directly used the high-level fire spell "Ten Thousand Dragons Burning the Sky"!
Soon, countless angry fire dragons burst out of his body, scattered like living dragons, drilled through the cracks, and rushed all the way to the upper floors of the hotel along the gaps, igniting everywhere they went, and the sound of burning and explosions was constantly heard. The fire started from the fifth floor and burned to the top floor, and the entire Jinling Hotel became a giant pillar of flame!
The fire burned more and more fiercely, illuminating half of the sky, and the fire brigade that was extinguishing the fire could only sigh that it was powerless to return to the sky.
The sleeping residents around were awakened one after another, and got up to watch this rare fire, this time the fire was different from the last time it only burned on the top floor, like a torch, this time the whole building was basically burning, extremely spectacular.
Everyone sighed that the Yuan family was really rich, and they spent hundreds of millions just to light a fire for the people to have fun.
The black smoke from the burning fire soared into the sky, and in the black smoke, the Demon King had already flown up and fled the scene.
Tonight will not end like this, when the Yuan family is in a hurry, the Demon King has already taken the land wolf Wangcai to a department store owned by the Yuan family in the city center.
There is no one else in the commercial building at night except for the security guard on the ground floor, and of course, there are many professional bodyguards arranged outside the commercial building recently.
The same operation followed, and the six-storey commercial building caught fire from the third floor, which soon became a giant pillar of fire.
The third target was the construction site where the fire started last time, and this time another fire was added, and it burned even harder.
The fourth target is the office of the Yuan family's financial company. The security guard on duty was knocked unconscious and dragged outside the building, and he didn't find much valuable and easy to take away in the office, so the Demon King set a small fire and burned the computers and various documents inside.
The fifth target is a villa in Yuan Muren.
Yuan Muren has had an ominous premonition since the first day when the Jinling Hotel caught fire, so he has been living in his grandfather's villa on the other side of Xishan and never dares to go out. However, although there were no people from the Yuan family living in this villa, bodyguards were also arranged to guard it, but unfortunately the bodyguards were knocked unconscious by the Demon King and dragged to the outside of the villa, and the Demon King looted in the villa, taking away hundreds of thousands of cash and a bunch of gold jewelry and handicrafts, and then the villa was burned down by him.
The last target is the "Water World" club on the west side of the mountain.
It was already past three o'clock in the night when the Demon King arrived, and even the clubhouse, which mainly worked at night, had time for the guests to rest. Most of the pleasure boats were docked on the dock, and they were already empty, so the Demon King naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity to sink them all with stones.
He dived into the clubhouse's underground cellar, grabbed a few bottles of well-stocked wine, and burned the cellar, which had countless precious liquors, before leaving.
Although the fire in the cellar was extinguished by the prepared staff before it spread to the ground, the billowing smoke still scared many guests into running out naked, they decided that it was not safe here, and it was better not to spend money in the Yuan family's entertainment venue for the time being, money was a trivial matter, and if you were not careful, your life would be gone.
In this way, the Demon King ran six places in a row, making Lanjing City full of fires, if it weren't for the lack of time, he could have played for a while. In the end, he returned to Huahong Manor with a large bag of loot.
The loss of the Yuan family that night exceeded one billion, no matter how rich the Yuan family was, they couldn't burn one billion to play, Yuan Tianxiong smoked twice after learning the news, and finally couldn't bear the pressure and was sent to the hospital for treatment.
The old man has fallen, leaving the Yuan family leaderless, and it is even more chaotic.
The brothers and sisters discussed the next countermeasures, and some people thought that if they continued to consume each other like this, the loss on their side would be too great, and the other party would have a bad life, and it would be useless to kill him, so it was better to find a way to reconcile with the other party.
There are also people who swear to die, thinking that this is giving in, and when the Yuan family has been soft to the enemy, they must use tougher means to fight back in the past, so that the enemy knows the fate of offending the Yuan family.
Neither side could convince anyone, and when the old man was so angry that he fell ill, they didn't dare to take the initiative to ask the old man about his next strategy, for fear that the old man's condition would worsen, so they could only stand still for the time being.
……
……
There were many fires in Lanjing City overnight, especially the Jinling Hotel, the landmark building of Lanjing, which was completely destroyed by the fire, which was really shocking, and all kinds of rumors were also flying all over the sky, because some careful people found that several places where the fire occurred belonged to the Yuan family's industry.
In order to prevent the image of Lanjing City and even the entire Jiangnan Province, the government issued a strict order to block all news, only saying that it was an accident caused by the fire.
The Lanjing police were very busy, but they knew very well that these arson cases were by no means committed by ordinary people, and with their ability, they could not find any decent clues at all.
The high-level leaders of Jiangnan Province have approached the Jiangnan Provincial Bureau of the War Bureau, hoping that they will investigate these cases, but Tian Heng, the director of the bureau, said that they have a lot of cases at hand now, and they really can't spare manpower, and there is no need for them to participate in the investigation of these "small" cases that do not even have casualties.
The last time Shen Yifan was framed, Director Tian is still angry, although Shen Yifan is just a temporary worker in the Liangxi Branch, but he is also a person who is in the war, and the police dare to participate in framing him in this way, it is really too bad to give him a sudden situation. You are unkind, I am unjust, and now I can't blame him for refusing to help at a critical moment.
And he has also paid attention to the recent serial arson cases in Lanjing City, and these cases are likely to be related to Shen Yifan.
He knew that Shen Yifan had made great contributions in Africa this time, and Minister Shen Wangshan valued him very much, so it was impossible for him to wade into this troubled water.
The senior leaders of Jiangnan Province have no right to command Tian Heng, and they have no choice but to continue to spur the Public Security Bureau to solve the case.
On the other hand, Shen Wangshan also heard about a series of arson cases in Lanjing City, and he had no choice but to contact Shen Yifan and persuade him to restrain himself and not to go too far.
After discussing with the Demon King, Shen Yifan decided to adopt the strategy of "the enemy does not move, I do not move", and did not take the initiative to attack for the time being, if the Yuan family continues to fight back, then he will not be polite, in fact, with the current strength of the Demon King, there are only a handful of people in the entire Huaxia who can catch him, but he is not ready to be an enemy of the government, after all, he still has too many worries in Huaxia.
……
……
The Qin family was also shocked by the recent tragedy of the Yuan family, but they didn't expect that Shen Yifan, who had been cornered by the Yuan family before, turned around and turned the Yuan family's industry upside down.
They instinctively thought that these things were all done by Shen Yifan, or at least by the forces that Shen Yifan relied on, which made them have to look at Shen Yifan differently.
In addition, according to their investigation, Shen Yifan, whose hometown is in Kangqiao Town, may be related to Fa Ge's "disappearance" back then, and the Qin family began to seriously evaluate Shen Yifan, Qin Qixin's "boyfriend", and kept asking Qin Qixin how the other party rescued her from Africa.
Of course, Qin Qixin would not reveal Shen Yifan's secret, she only said that she didn't know very well, anyway, when she woke up, Shen Yifan had already taken many of their abducted and trafficked women to leave the criminals' station and go to the big city. She only knew that Shen Yifan was very powerful, and she was completely in love with this junior brother who was younger than her.
After discussion, Qin Qixin's elders decided not to interfere in the affairs of Qin Qixin and Shen Yifan for the time being, anyway, Shen Yifan is now fighting with the Yuan family, and their Qin family has benefited a lot. The Qin family and the Yuan family have a competitive relationship in some areas, and the Jinling Hotel was completely burned down and could not operate for a few years, so the high-end hotels under their Qin family's name will definitely do better business.
For Shen Yifan, they still need to observe for a while, if he is indeed so powerful, then it will also be good for the Qin family to let Qin Qixin marry such a man.
