Nian Xi stayed there until the fire was extinguished.
The fire had burned down five laboratories, causing a great loss to the school.
When the principal came over, he was heartbroken. "The school spent a lot of money on many instruments and materials. We've lost at least a million yuan."
The fire chief explained, "The laboratory is full of flammable materials. There are many wires in the fire, so the electric current is very strong. Our preliminary conclusion is that when one of the instruments fell to the ground, the strong electric current instantly ignited the flammable materials in the laboratory. The electric current should be more than ten thousand watts. After the fire broke out, ordinary fire extinguishers didn't work at all. Under normal circumstances, if you can't escape from that laboratory within three minutes, you will die without a doubt."
Nian Xi broke out in a cold sweat. Once again, she felt lucky that she had brought Jiang Yuning there tonight.
The principal nodded and said, "Yes, there are many wires in this laboratory. However, for safety measures, we have to cut off all the electricity before students leave. It's been so many years, but …"
After saying that, he glanced at Nian Xi with mixed feelings.
Nian Xi was angry. "What? You don't believe me? I know nothing about laboratories. If it wasn't someone who knew about the laboratory, how could such a big fire suddenly happen? Besides, Professor Jiang was right beside me at the time. With his ability, he should know what was going on in the laboratory. Principal, how could you believe Yang Wenzhi?"
The principal let out a long sigh, but the fire chief said, "Logically speaking, it should be man-made. When our people went in, the equipment rack was on the ground, which is consistent with what Officer Nian said. I hope we can find more evidence to prove that the murderer did it."
"Thank you, sir."
…
Nian Xi rushed to the hospital after finishing her work.
When she got in the car, she realized that she was only wearing a thin sweater. She didn't feel it earlier because she was busy outside, but now, she felt cold.
She sneezed twice, then suddenly remembered that Jiang Yuning was wearing something similar to her.
So, she bought a coat on her way to the hospital.
When she arrived at the hospital, she contacted Jiang Yuning and found out that he was in the infusion room.
In the infusion room, there were several beds. He was lying on the bed near the window. His sleeves were half rolled up, and there were bandages wrapped around them. The white bedding covered his body, and the white light above his head made him look pale and fragile.
He looked like the porcelain dolls that Nian Xi used to play with when she was young. If she didn't take good care of them, they would break.
His eyes were closed. Hearing footsteps, he abruptly opened his eyes. When he saw Nian Xi standing by the bed, he immediately smiled and said, "You're here."
"How did you know it was me?" Nian Xi was surprised.
"The sound of your footsteps." Jiang Yuning smiled like a kid. "They're always in a hurry."
She glanced at the bedside table. There was nothing on it, not even a glass of water. Her heart ached a little. Had he been lying here for the past hour? "Why are you alone? Isn't Uncle Han always by your side?" she asked.
Jiang Yuning moved his thin lips, but in the end, he decided to tell the truth. "I told Uncle Han. Uncle Han said that he'll come, so he won't come. Otherwise, if he comes, he won't be responsible for me under his care."
"…"
Nian Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Uncle Han was such a cunning old fox. However, she didn't expect him to be so cruel to such a cute and delicate man.
