Chapter 912: Not Much Left

When the three trucks approached the warehouse, a noisy sound suddenly came from the alley where the warehouse was located, with crazy shouting voices and sharp sounds of metal collision.

"Don't even think about running away today!"

I don't know who shouted this, but I saw several men rushing out of the alley in panic, holding a one-meter-long steel pipe in their hands.

They ran and looked back nervously.

"Don't think you can run away!"

Another group of people caught up, also holding steel pipes in their hands.

The two groups fought again, and the scene was chaotic for a while, and it was unclear who was the enemy.

But it was obvious that one side was at a disadvantage, and seeing that it was about to be defeated, someone pulled out a sharp knife from his body and stabbed it into the fuel tank placed on the side of the road. The air was instantly filled with a pungent smell of gasoline.

Smelling the smell, everyone stopped and turned to look over.

The man took out a lighter, lit it, and threw it.

The lighter fell into the gasoline flowing out of the tank and ignited instantly, and the flames "swooshed" illuminated most of the night sky.

"Mad man!"

The two groups didn't care about fighting. They turned around and ran away while cursing, fearing that the fire would spread and affect them.

The fire was very big and fierce, and soon affected the warehouse nearby.

The three trucks sent by the SA Group saw the fire from a distance and quickly accelerated towards the warehouse. When they saw the warehouse on fire, the faces of the people in the car turned pale instantly.

It's over!

"Quick! Put out the fire!"

As soon as the car stopped, everyone got out of the car.

The warehouse was filled with the most important medicinal materials of the group. If something went wrong, all of them would die!

"Everyone, be careful. If there is any mistake with this batch of medicinal materials, you know what will happen! Do you hear it?"

The voice of Pierce's warning before departure seemed to still echo in his ears.

Some people tried to rush into the warehouse to rescue the medicinal materials, but the fire was too big and they couldn't get close at all.

"What can we do? If this goes on, the medicinal materials will be burned out!" Someone was so anxious that his voice changed.

Although there were fire extinguishers on the truck, facing such a big fire, just a few fire extinguishers would not be of any use.

Seeing that the fire was no longer under their control, someone suggested, "Let's call the police!"

"Are you crazy? Do you think it's appropriate to call the police?" Someone retorted sharply.

SA Group was investigated some time ago, and this time something happened again. If the police were alerted, how would they explain to their superiors?

"But if we don't call the police, all the medicinal materials inside will be burned!"

They knew very well that no matter which one they chose, the superiors would not let them go.

But now all they can do is to minimize the losses.

So, they finally chose to call the police.

As soon as the alarm was received, the fire alarm was quickly dispatched, the fire truck arrived at the warehouse, and the firefighters immediately started to put out the fire.

When the fire gradually subsided, they ignored the firefighters' obstruction and the people of SA Group rushed into the burned warehouse.

They had a fluke in their hearts, delusion that the medicinal materials would be intact in this fire.

But the reality is cruel.

When they rushed into the warehouse, they saw that most of the medicinal materials had been burned to ashes, and the remaining ones were almost unusable. Only a few were intact.

"It's really over!" Someone immediately fell to the ground with weak legs and pale face.

Pierce rushed over immediately after receiving the news. When he arrived, the police also came.

The fire was so big that even some surrounding buildings were affected. The police received a call from the masses and came to investigate the situation.

"Mr. Pierce."

When they saw Pierce, the police immediately came to meet him.

Pierce was anxious to see the situation in the warehouse, but because the other party was a policeman, he did not dare to neglect it at all, and could only nod politely, "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard work, we just want to ask if this warehouse belongs to the SA Group?" The other party stared at him straight, as if trying to see something from his face.

"Yes, it belongs to our group." Pierce nodded.

The other party lowered his head and wrote something in the folder in his hand, then looked up at him again, "Do you know why the fire happened?"

"I don't know, I just found out and rushed over."

As soon as Pierce finished answering, he saw a subordinate hurriedly running to his side and whispered something in his ear, and his face changed all of a sudden.

"Sorry, I'll go check the situation first."

Without bothering to say anything more to the police, Pierce turned around and hurriedly walked towards the warehouse.

The police watched him walk away, then turned around to ask the witnesses about the situation before the fire.

"How could this happen..."

Seeing the pile of medicinal materials that had turned to ashes, Pierce's eyes went dark and his body shook slightly.

The medicine was lost, and now the medicinal materials were burned again.

Even if he had ten lives, it would not be enough to take the blame!

"Mr. Pierce, what should we do now?" The subordinates around him asked cautiously.

When Pierce heard this, he instantly ignited his anger, slapped him, and cursed, "Useless! A bunch of useless people, you can't even do such a small thing, what's the point of keeping you in the company!"

Everyone was scolded and lowered their heads and dared not say a word.

At this point, nothing can be said to save this heavy loss.

Pierce took a deep breath and continued: "Listen to me, everyone, you can't escape what happened tonight!"

After saying this, he turned around and left angrily.

Once out of the warehouse, he wanted to leave directly, but the police stopped him.

"Mr. Pierce, we need your cooperation."

"What do you mean?" Pierce's anger was still there, he was no longer polite as he was at the beginning, and he didn't give the police a good look at all.

The other party didn't take it seriously and stated directly, "We just asked the people around us and they said that someone was fighting and ignited the fuel tank nearby, which led to the fire."

"In this case, if you don't go find those people, why do you want me to cooperate?" Pierce's tone became even worse.

"Your group's warehouse was burned down. Does this have something to do with you?"

Pierce was still anxious to report the situation to John, but the police had to cooperate. In desperation, he could only call John first.

It was late at night, and John had fallen asleep, but his cell phone suddenly rang loudly, waking him up.

He sat up from the bed with an irritated look on his face, took the phone and saw that it was Pierce. His face suddenly darkened. As soon as he answered the call, he cursed: "Pierce, you'd better be calling at this time. You'd better have something important to do!"

"Mr. John, there was a fire in the warehouse, and not much of the medicinal materials was left."

After listening to the concise words, John's sleepiness disappeared instantly. He got out of bed, put on his clothes and hurried out.

That batch of medicinal materials was crucial to the group. Without the medicinal materials, the drug would not be developed. By then, not only him, but the entire SA Group would not be able to escape the blame.
