"It has been preliminarily confirmed that it is because of the aging of the lines, and now it is the hottest time of the weather, the air conditioner and electric fans are turned on, and those wires are overloaded, so it causes a short circuit and a fire. ”

Ma Yunteng explained to reporters.

"You haven't answered my other question, the line is aging, there is such a major fire, the management must be responsible for it, what do they say about this?"

The reporter asked in hot pursuit.

"The management has promised that they will bear all the losses for this fire. ”

Ma Yunteng said solemnly.

"But what about the trapped people? They still don't know whether they are alive or dead, are they going to pay for the management with their lives just because of the management loopholes?"

Another reporter asked sharply.

At this time, Zhou Lin's brows were already deeply furrowed.

"The management has made a huge fortune with the help of Huitong Department Store, and the line has long been old, but they don't care, such a black-hearted businessman, is it over with a sentence of compensation for losses?

Another reporter asked loudly.

Hearing this, Ma Yunteng's face was already extremely gloomy, and these reporters were simply unreasonable.

"Our main task now is the rescue, and as for the responsibility, we will definitely investigate thoroughly, but we will wait until the rescue work is over. ”

He explained to reporters.

"There has been such a major fire, as the management of Huitong Department Store, why hasn't it appeared until now? Can you give us an explanation?"

"Ahem!"

Zhou Lin coughed lightly twice, at this time, he had to say two words.

"I am Zhou Lin, the current owner of Huitong Department Store. ”

He stood up, "And I was very surprised when I got the fire in Huitong Department Store, and then I rushed to the scene as soon as possible and organized the bodyguards of my brother's security to carry out rescue work." ”

"What Mr. Zhou means is that you are already trying your best to rescue, right? Since you are so responsible, the line of Huitong Department Store is aging, why don't you replace the line?"

A reporter questioned Zhou Lin.

"There was a fire in Huitong Department Store, which is something that no one wants to see, and the leader has just said that the most important task now is rescue, and please pay more attention to our rescue. ”

Zhou Lin said in a deep voice.

"I can't agree with your point of view, of course rescue is important, but responsibility is equally important, Huitong Department Store has such a big fire, as the management, you must have an unshirkable responsibility, so, please also give the people an explanation. ”

The reporter was in hot pursuit.

Zhou Lin's eyes narrowed, staring at the other party tightly, "I have already told the leader that I will bear all the losses." ”

"What the people need is more than just empty words, if all the businessmen are black-hearted profiteers like you, where will the people dare to go out and buy things?"

Damn!

Why did Lao Tzu become a black-hearted profiteer?

Zhou Lin's heart was furious, and he was angry at this reporter's nonsense.

There was a fire in Huitong Department Store, this is not something he wants to see, his heart is already very heavy, and he is also doing emergency rescue, these reporters are so slanderous about him, it is simply uneasy and kind!

"Please give an explanation to the people. ”

Seeing that Zhou Lin didn't answer, the reporter continued to hold on.

Zhou Lin's heart was furious, staring at the other party coldly, and he couldn't wait to knock the other party out with a punch.

It's just that he has to stay calm at this time, otherwise, it will really be difficult to tell.

"I am very sad about the fire in Huitong Department Store, and I don't want to shirk responsibility, but I must say that I have been in Huitong Department Store for less than five days. ”

Zhou Lin said coldly.

"Do you mean that there was a fire in Huitong Department Store, and it has nothing to do with you? You are completely shirking responsibility, and the people will be very disappointed. ”

The reporter snapped.

Grass!

Zhou Lin was furious, this reporter was too good at changing concepts, he felt that if he continued to talk to the other party, he would really can't help but rush forward.

No wonder many people are reluctant to face journalists, these journalists are too powerful.

"I'm sorry, I still have to organize someone to rescue, but I'm out of company. ”

Zhou Lin's face was gloomy, and he turned around and left directly.

Those reporters still wanted to entangle, but Zhou Lin slipped away like a loach.

He was a Body Refining Realm cultivator, how could these people catch him?

Those reporters were unwilling, surrounded Ma Yunteng and the two, and began to bombard again.

It's just that they are old fritters in officialdom, and they deal with this kind of problem very calmly, even those reporters are very helpless.

The fire at Huitong Department Store burned until the evening, when it was finally extinguished, and the entire building was completely burned down, leaving only a skeleton.

The Special Forces and Brother Security men were constantly busy, going in and out, carpet searching the entire building, barely taking any breaks.

And Zhou Lin has been directing outside, and he doesn't even have time to think about other things.

At ten o'clock in the night, after the busyness of the special brigade and the brother's security, the search work finally came to a conclusion, but the final result made everyone feel extremely heavy.

This time the fire trapped thousands of people, of which 500 were slightly injured and 300 were seriously injured, and hundreds of people have been confirmed dead.

Among the 300 seriously injured, many of them may not be rescued at any time and are in danger of death.

Outside the whole building, it was still busy, and all the hospitals in Yangping City had already sent doctors to rescue the wounded, and they were busy until two or three o'clock in the morning.

Ever since he got the specific death toll, Zhou Lin had been silent, and his expression was gloomy and terrifying.

This time the huge fire hit him too hard.

"I'm sorry. ”

At this moment, the fat man came to his side and said with a heavy face.

"Why do you say you're sorry?"

Zhou Lin rubbed his face with both hands and asked tiredly.

"If I hadn't repeatedly advised you to take over Huitong Department Store, we wouldn't have to pay any responsibility. ”

The fat man said guiltily.

Zhou Lin shook his head, "What's the use of talking about this now? Moreover, this has nothing to do with you, let's think about how to deal with the aftermath." ”

The day before, they were still excited about the extortion of nearly one billion yuan from Wolf Tooth and Fangda, but today, I am afraid that they will lose all the money, and they will not be able to make up for the loss of Huitong Department Store!

What's more, hundreds of people died in the fire this time, which is not at all measurable by money.

Zhou Lin didn't sleep all night, and his face was full of haggardness.

And the next morning, the whole Yangping was overwhelmed with the news of the fire in Huitong Department Store, which shocked the entire Yangping.

On the news, those reporters described Zhou Lin as a profiteer who only made black money, and belittled him for nothing.

"According to our reporter, Zhou Lin, the current owner of Huitong Department Store, is still the boss of Brother Security Company, a few days ago, he took the so-called bodyguard of Brother Security to sweep the once famous Tianwang Security, and is known as the king of Yangping's new generation. ”

"The editor is very puzzled here, this week, Lin and his brother security, is it really a security company, or a group of hooligans?"

On TV, the news anchor reported bitterly.

"Grass!

The fat man almost smashed the TV in anger.

Zhou Lin's face was also cold, and his eyes were full of anger.

This fire actually allowed the other party to use the topic to play and attack his brother's security.

The fat man glanced at Zhou Lin, who had a gloomy face, and hurriedly changed the channel.

"When our reporter questioned Zhou Lin yesterday about the responsibility for the fire, Zhou Lin avoided the important and light, and even wanted to shift the responsibility to the former manager of Huitong Department Store, our reporter interviewed Mr. Shi Dakai, the former manager of Huitong Department Store, let us listen to what Mr. Shi Dakai said. ”

Then, as soon as the TV screen turned, Shi Dakai appeared, only to see him with a serious face, and said in a fierce voice: "He is completely shirking responsibility, I was forced to transfer Huitong Department Store to Mr. Zhou Lin's name when I was under pressure, and I also mentioned to him the aging of Huitong Department Store's line, I remember that he was very disapproving." ”

"Mr. Shi, can you tell us what kind of pressure you were forced to transfer Huitong Department Store to Zhou Lin's name?"

On the TV, a reporter immediately asked.

"Xiao Shi Hongfei once had a dispute with Zhou Lin because of a woman, thus offending Mr. Zhou Lin, I am not afraid of your jokes, he is now the king of Yangping, where can I offend, so, you should understand. ”

Shi Dakai's face was full of helplessness.

Grass!

This time, without the fat man's hands, Zhou Lin grabbed a bench and threw it directly on the TV.

His face was gloomy and terrifying, and he was now almost 100% sure that all this was Shi Dakai's conspiracy.
