Rebirth - Steady

Zhou Bin came back to his senses and frowned when he saw everyone looking like the sky had fallen.

This can't go on like this!

After thinking for a while, he quickly came to Xiao Yuan's father.

At this time, Lao Liu still looked like he was blaming himself.

He kept saying: "I have really put out the fire."

Zhou Bin squatted in front of him and looked at him solemnly: "Uncle Liu, are you sure?"

"Sure what?"

Lao Liu obviously didn't react and was still in a state of disbelief.

"Uncle Liu, cheer up," Zhou Bin shook his body vigorously, "I don't believe you would make such a stupid mistake. Think about it again, has everything been taken care of before we leave?"

Hearing Zhou Bin say that he was willing to believe in himself, Lao Liu's eyes suddenly lit up, he grabbed his arm and cried with joy.

"Zhou Bin, are you really willing to believe me?"

At this moment, Lao Liu was nervous and looking forward to it.

When everyone, even himself, puts the blame on himself, trust is too precious to him.

"Of course I believe you," Zhou Bin nodded without hesitation, "I believe that when it comes to paying attention to food stalls, none of us can compare to you."

Having said this, he looked around at the other people who were also gathered around him, and his tone was very affirmative:

"So I think the fire at the food stall is definitely not caused by Uncle Liu's negligence."

Others were thoughtful after hearing this.

At this time, Lao Liu was too excited to speak.

yes!

Their family really attaches great importance to food stalls.

From being impoverished and being looked down upon by others, now he holds his head high and has even become the richest man in the village.

It's all brought to them by the food stalls.

As he himself thought:

If possible, he is willing to use his life to change the food stall to be safe and sound.

Therefore, whether it was when I was helping in Panxiang or now when I came to the county.

He is always the most serious in doing things.

Some matters related to the safety of food stalls are taken the trouble to check repeatedly.

Only when you are 100% sure that there is no problem will you rest assured.

But now that the food stall is on fire, the most likely cause is his negligence. How can he accept this?

The pain in my heart can be imagined!

"Yes, what Zhou Bin said makes sense," Zhou Weimin thought for a while and nodded in agreement, "I can see Lao Liu's usual attitude towards doing things. This kind of low-level mistake will never happen to him."

After the initial panic, everyone else calmed down a bit.

At this time, after listening to the words of Zhou Bin and his son, they gradually realized that something was wrong.

"Yes, with Lao Liu's character, even if the fire is extinguished, he will not feel at ease. He has to check it again. It is really impossible to say that the fire in the food stall was caused by his negligence."

After regaining his senses, Lao Xie also felt that something was a little strange, "It's not Lao Liu, and the food stall has just been renovated, and all the equipment inside is the latest.

Therefore, it cannot be a safety hazard caused by taking too long, so how could it catch fire for no reason?"

Xie Zhenjie stood aside and remained silent.

He knew that this kind of brain-intensive work was not suitable for him.

After hearing what his father said, he didn't take it seriously and said casually, "What else can we do? If it's not us, it can only be someone else who sets the fire!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone at the scene looked at him at the same time.

"Uh~"

Suddenly becoming the center of attention, Xie Zhenjie felt a little uncomfortable. He thought he had said the wrong thing, so he smiled:

"Hey, I was just joking, don't take it seriously!"

"Brother, this is not a joke, you might be right!"

A word woke up the dreamer. Xie Chenjie's inadvertent words made Zhou Bin react.

No matter how unreasonable it is, I never thought of it again.

After eliminating all possibilities, the remaining one, no matter how incredible, will be the only answer.

“Did someone deliberately set the food stall on fire?”

Others couldn't believe it.

What hatred or grudge could lead to something as crazy as setting fire to a store?

What if someone is inside?

They shuddered just thinking about it!

"Who is it? It's so abominable!"

Madoka was furious.

In her opinion, this man not only set fire to their food stall, but also ruined their hard work.

It makes my parents so sad.

He wants to ruin the happy life that he finally had.

"Zhou Bin, we must not let these guys go."

Madoka looked like she was gritting her teeth.

"Yes, they must pay the price."

Others were equally outraged.

Surprisingly, Lao Xie, who was in the most pain before, still remained calm.

After comforting my daughter, I stood up from the ground. Her energy seemed to have recovered a lot.

"These are just our own speculations. The inspection results of the relevant departments have confirmed that it was an accidental fire. Based on this, we have no way to call the police."

"And the most important point is that we have just arrived in the county not long ago and have not had much contact with other people. Who has such hatred for us and wants to set fire to the store?"

When other people think about it, it is indeed the case.

They have all just arrived in the county, and every time they come here, they just stay in the store and decorate it, and have no contact with outsiders at all.

Not to mention making grudges with others.

It is impossible to do something like arson without deep hatred.

After everyone thought about it, they didn't expect anyone to do such a thing.

But Zhou Bin suddenly felt something in his heart:

"Maybe this person has no personal grudge against us, but maybe it's a business competition!"

"That can't be true. Isn't it just a business? Even if he also wants to open a food stall, he shouldn't be able to do it to this extent, right?"

Everyone was shocked by Zhou Bin's guess and looked at each other:

It's just a store, isn't it?

Zhou Bin didn't explain too much and understood their reactions very well.

Before the food stalls opened, they were all hard-working common people.

Because of the limitations of this era, I don’t know much about the outside world.

Although Zhou Bin has never seen it, he has heard too many dirty things in shopping malls in his previous life.

All kinds of outrageous things happen one after another.

It is true that shopping malls are like battlefields.

He was thinking about what to do next, when suddenly, a very familiar-looking car parked next to him.

The car window rolled down, who else could it be if it wasn't Jiang Chao.

"Brother Zhou, I heard that there was a fire in your store, and I came here to have a look. Is the loss big? If you need my help in any way, just ask."

Jiang Chao was very enthusiastic.

Even though he knew he was being polite, Zhou Bin still felt somewhat grateful.

If something goes wrong, it's good to come over and express concern.

Therefore, I was quite pleased with him, and he said with some sincerity, "Thank you, but no, I plan to communicate with the landlord first and see the damage to the store before talking."

"Brother Zhou is right. If this happens, you really need to tell the landlord. But I have heard some things about this store in the past two days, so I thought I should tell you."

At this point, Jiang Chao stopped talking.

"Brother Chao, just say it if you have something to say," Zhou Bin knew that it might not be a good thing. He pointed at the food stall and smiled bitterly, "What could be worse than this situation!"

"In that case, I'll tell you straight away."

Jiang Chao no longer hesitated, "I found out that this store is actually owned by Mr. Sun. He didn't say it clearly when he rented it to you. And..."

Having said this, I looked at Zhou Bin's face and saw that his face was solemn, and he was also full of worry on the surface:

"I also heard that Mr. Sun attaches great importance to this store. Many people asked him to rent it but he didn't agree. Now that it's like this, he must be very angry!"

"oh?"

"This store actually belongs to Mr. Sun?"

Zhou Bin was very surprised.

After carefully recalling the details of renting a house at that time, I also came to a realization.

"It seems that because the store we agreed on at the time suddenly changed its mind, Mr. Sun took over his own store!"

Speaking of Mr. Sun, he thought of another thing.

The look he looked at Jiang Chao also changed a little.

He murmured to himself, "In this case, it's not impossible..."

"What did you say?"

Jiang Chao didn't hear something clearly and couldn't help but ask a question.

"Oh, it's nothing," Zhou Bin said calmly, "I mean, Mr. Sun doesn't know how to be angry after knowing about it?"

"Looking at how confident I am, I don't seem to be worried at all!"

"Indeed!"

Seeing how relaxed he was, Jiang Chao reminded him very kindly:

"I think I don't know the influence of Mr. Sun in the county. If Mr. Sun is angry, it will not be easy for him to gain a foothold in the county."

"Of course I know this, but," Zhou Bin shrugged, "Someone deliberately set the fire, and I can't do anything about it. I believe Mr. Sun will understand."

After a slight pause, he said seemingly casually: "I think he must have hated the person who deliberately set the fire even more."

Jiang Chao was stunned for a moment, his eyes a little evasive, "Oh? Someone did it on purpose? Didn't it mean there was an accidental fire?"

"Maybe!"

Zhou Bin shrugged and stopped talking about this topic.

Jiang Chao obviously didn't want to stay any longer at this time, so he said hello and drove away.

After turning a corner and losing sight of Zhou Bin and the others, they stopped on the side of the road.

He dialed the phone with a gloomy look on his face and said, "Awu, the other party is already suspicious of whether you have done your job cleanly or not. Don't show any signs of it."

Ah Wu, "Brother Chao, don't worry, there won't be any clues."

Hearing what he said, Jiang Chao felt relieved.

"Okay, I've seen the results, and the remaining money will be sent to you today."

"Brother Chao is really happy. If this happens again in the future, remember to find your brother."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chao sneered, "What's the point of doubting? It's useless without evidence. Who will believe you when I see it!"

He slowly started the vehicle and left with a proud look on his face.
