Lin Man hesitated for a long time before looking at me and whispering.

"Good...... You said. I clenched my fists and tried to restrain my panic.

"It happened at three o'clock this morning, the workshop...... There was a fire, and although it was extinguished by the employees afterwards, it was ...... The losses are huge, and the clothes we make these days, all ...... Burned. ”

Rumble......

Lin Man's words made me feel like I had been struck by lightning, and I couldn't move.

"Qingling, are you okay?" Seeing my face as if it were dead ashes, Lin Man asked worriedly, holding my body.

I looked at Lin Man weakly, dumb in my voice, and it took a long time before I found my voice again.

"Burned...... How much? ”

We still have more than two months to go, and we have to deliver the first batch of goods, the total number is 10,000 pieces, this is the first batch of goods.

No...... The finished product we make these days...... Destroy it all, right?

"All...... Burned. Lin Man glanced at me, his eyes crossed with a little guilt, but unfortunately, I didn't see it.

I was stimulated by Lin Man's words, and my legs, which were originally sore and weak, were now more like they had been drained of air.

I sat on the ground, convulsing.

Without...... All burned down......

"Mr. Mu." The factory director looked at me and helped me up with some worry.

I staggered away from the factory manager's hand and walked towards the workshop.

There were also employees there to clean up, and I saw burned machines, as well as burnt clothes.

When the employees saw me, they saluted me, and their faces were very sad.

"Mr. Mu, I'm sorry, we ...... Didn't look good at the workshop. ”

Among the employees, Sister-in-law Liu, who has done the most recent in my workshop, said with some guilt.

Sister-in-law Liu has always been very careful in her workmanship, so I like her very much and have always let her keep it now, she is currently the oldest one in the workshop.

"The cause of the fire." I took a deep breath, and in the face of this blow, I could only force myself to calm down.

"The cause of the fire is still unclear, but I heard from the technical workers that the machine suddenly caught fire, which may be caused by excessive voltage." Sister-in-law Liu hesitated for a moment and explained to me.

"Too much voltage? The voltage in our workshop is all carried out under normal resistance, after each work, all the power will be turned off, how can it cause a fire? Also, we have a new line here, and I have an electrician come and check it once a week. ”

I lowered my face, looked at Sister-in-law Liu, and analyzed.

After listening to my words, Sister-in-law Liu also seemed to be a little hesitant, but just shook her head and said, "Then I don't know, they said that it is very likely that the machine caught fire, causing this fire." ”

I walked in front of the burned machines, squatted down, checked it, but didn't check out any human possibility, just when I wanted to leave, inside the machine, there was a glowing thing, I was a little puzzled, picked up that thing, but found that it was an unburned cigarette butt?

It may be that it is hidden in the innermost part of the machine and has not been completely burned out, and I can tell that it is a cigarette butt.

How can there be cigarette butts here?

Although there are many male employees in our workshop, I have already said repeatedly that smoking is not allowed in the workshop.

After all, it's all machine-made, so if it causes a fire, it will be troublesome.

So I also set up a separate smoking area, and those who want to smoke can smoke in the smoking area when they are resting.

"Qingling, what's wrong with you? Did you find something? ”

Lin Man didn't know when he came up behind me and said to me.

I came back to my senses, hid the cigarette butt, got up and said nonchalantly, "No, let's go out first." ”

I don't know why, I hid the matter of finding the cigarette butt from Lin Man, according to reason, Lin Man is my best friend, since I took over the Xi Group, Lin Man has always been by my side to support and encourage me, the two of us, has been working hard until now.

But...... I actually hid Lin Man today, to be honest, I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart, something, as if it was about to break out of the ground, but I could only endure this feeling.

I asked the staff to put the workshop in order as soon as possible, and even if this happened, the workshop would continue, and as for the burned machines, I would have to buy them again.

It costs hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy a machine, and this time I burned three production machines, and I can only admit it, at present, the only thing I can do is to complete Mr. Farrell's order as soon as possible.

However, there are only two months, and the time from design to re-selection and production is probably ......

"Qingling, what are we going to do now?" When I got back to my accommodation, I sat down on the couch weakly, and Lin Man put the water in front of me and asked me with some concern.

I glanced at Lin Man, tired and said, "I can only take one step at a time." ”

"Or else...... We...... Sell your blueprints to another company? Let them make it for us? We just take a little bit of the design fee and give it to Mr. Farrell when the clothes are ready. "Lin Man looked at me and asked me with a hesitant expression.

Lin Man's words are undoubtedly a way, but doing business is about integrity, if I sell my design drawings to another company, let that company make them for me, and then buy them back and hand them over to Farrell, I can get the intermediary fee from it, and the price is not low, but I can make a lot of money, in this way, I can not only complete Mr. Farrell's order, but also make two money.

However, I can't be sure, the father-in-law I handed over will not choose the material of the clothes as carefully as me, and now businessmen, in order to make money, will be opportunistic, although I have a good design, but if the quality is not up to par, it is useless.

"No, we'll do it all over again."

"But we don't have time, you're going to the finals and you're going to have to do it all over again, we don't have enough time." Lin Man said to me with an anxious expression.

She seemed to want me to adopt her idea.

I squinted my eyes, looked at Lin Man twice, lowered my eyes, and said casually: "Lin Man, I remember that you helped me home last night, why did I wake up and didn't see you?" Am I drunk and too confused. ”

"I ...... I was originally holding you, and then you said you wanted to go to the bathroom, and I was waiting for you downstairs, who knows, you ...... I actually opened a room in the hotel to sleep, Qingling, you didn't happen last night, right? Lin Man looked at me and asked with a strange look.

"What do you think will happen to me?" Facing Lin Man's gaze, I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows and asked.

Lin Man didn't seem to want me to talk to her in this tone, and she smiled a little awkwardly: "Haven't I been worried about you?" You drank so much last night......"

I looked at Lin Man's stiffening face, and his eyes were a little cold.

Lin Man...... Don't let me down in you......

"Ding Zero." Just as we were looking at each other, Lin Man's cell phone rang, breaking the unusually strange atmosphere between us.

Lin Man took out his phone after taking one look at me.

I don't know who the person who called her is, I saw Lin Man's face, and suddenly it became extremely difficult to see.

I narrowed my eyes, lifted my lips indifferently and said, "Whose phone?" ”

Lin Man glanced at me in a bit of a panic, and said embarrassedly: "My father's phone, I'll answer the phone first." ”

After Lin Man finished speaking, he left the living room in a panic and returned to his room.

I looked at Lin Man's back as he left, and my eyebrows couldn't help frowning slightly.

What is Lynman hiding from me?

Also, last night...... What's going on?

When I think about last night, I think about the marks on my body.

Damn mean man, you'd better not get caught by me, or I'm going to castrate you.

The last time I was forced to jian, this time I directly slept with someone else in a daze?

Could it be that I'm really stressed because of my work? So?

I rubbed my aching waist and took a deep breath before taking the cigarette butt in my hand and leaving the accommodation.

I was so unwell that I didn't drive, flagged down a taxi and went to the hospital.

"You're looking for me? Something. Situ Ao saw that it was me, and said a little unceremoniously.

Since Xi Mushen died, Situ Ao has not been very polite to me.

I was also very understanding and not angry.

Although Situ Ao is always unkind to me, and he is prickly from time to time, Situ Ao will not refuse if I have anything.

"I want you to help me check the fingerprints of this cigarette butt, and see if there is any residual DNA that can be verified."

I handed the cigarette butt to Situ Ao.

The filter of this cigarette butt should have been bitten by someone before, and it is very likely that it was left by the murderer who caused this accident.

This is the only clue that I must not let go.

"What do you want me to check this stuff for?" Situ Ao glanced at me in disgust, as if he didn't understand what I was going to do at the moment.

"There was a fire in my workshop in the early hours of this morning, you should have heard about it?"

After all, it was a fire, and I believe that Situ Ao's side should already know a little.

"What if you know? You don't have the ability to manage your own workshop yourself. ”

Facing Situ Ao's unceremonious words, the corners of my eyes twitched.

I glanced at Situ Ao and said with a headache: "Okay, it's me who didn't manage my workshop well, but I suspect that this incident is not an accident, so I hope you can help me test it." ”

Situ arrogantly picked up the cigarette butt on the table and said lightly: "As a result, I will help you get it out in the afternoon." ”

"Thank you." Situ Ao said like this, did he promise to help me?

I breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully, "I hope you can help me keep it a secret." ”

I'm going to investigate this matter in secret, so as not to startle the snake.

"Mu Qingling, you have changed."

Situ Ao stared at me with deep eyes, and said with unusually serious eyes.

"People are going to become."
