Li Yi did not delay any further, with a wave of his hand, he swept the coffee cup on the table to the ground, and with a series of bangs, the coffee cup fell to the ground along with the incense candle.

There was even a beautiful carpet on the floor of the private room. Not only was the fragrant candle not extinguished when it was knocked down, but the small flame could already be seen by the naked eye.

Li Yi looked at the burning carpet, a satisfied smile flashed past his eyes. He took off his gloves, then calmly and quickly opened the door and walked out of the private room.

Not even two minutes after Li Yi left the private room, a sharp fire alarm came out from the originally quiet coffee shop.

Soon after, thick smoke could be seen coming out from booth 103.

The entire coffee shop was instantly thrown into chaos. The customers who were sitting inside all stood up and ran away in fright.

The shop manager was worried that there were still customers in booth 103. Seeing that the fire was not too big, he hurriedly rushed into booth 103.

As expected, the moment he rushed into the room, the shop manager saw a person lying on the floor in the room filled with smoke.

It was a girl.

It was obvious that the girl had fainted. The manager quickly walked over and carried An Xingchen on her back, then ran out of the room.

The shop manager heaved a sigh of relief after he successfully carried An Xingchen out of the coffee shop and into the safe zone.

Seeing that An Xingchen was still unconscious, she called for an ambulance. As she sent An Xingchen to the hospital, she reported the news to the police.

The fire engine came quickly, and the fire didn't spread very far. It didn't take long for the firefighters to extinguish the fire.

The firemen then surveyed the site and determined that the fire was caused by a candle burning on the table in the coffee shop compartment falling onto the carpet and setting it alight.

Gong Lingqian was currently participating in the weekly board meeting, while Cheng Hao was standing in front of the projector and explaining the contents of the PPT.

After so many years, this was the first time Gong Lingqian's attention wandered from the meeting, and his right eyelid suddenly jumped. When Gong Lingqian regained his senses, he immediately frowned.

It was said that he jumped in wealth with his left eye, and in calamity with his right eye …

Thinking about that, Gong Lingqian raised his hand and pressed it between his brows. In the next second, he turned off the sound which was placed on the conference table.

Gong Lingqian's gaze immediately landed on the phone's screen that was still vibrating on the conference table.

It was a completely unfamiliar number.

This was Gong Lingqian's private phone number, and very few people would know about it, let alone this kind of unfamiliar number.

Normally, if he was in a situation like this, Gong Lingqian would directly hang up the phone. But today, Gong Lingqian was frowning and holding onto his phone, he waved his other hand towards Cheng Hao who was explaining about PPT and immediately stood up, holding onto his phone as he quickly walked out of the conference room.

Just as he placed the phone by his ear, an unfamiliar voice rang out: ”Hello, may I ask if you are Teacher Gong?”

As Gong Lingqian heard this completely foreign voice, he subconsciously frowned and suppressed the doubt in his heart.

”I am a policeman, who is An Xingchen to you? The closest person on her phone is you, so she called you. She's in a coma right now in the hospital.
