Chapter 189 - Sheep without a Shepherd (2/2)
Liu Feng’s words shocked Li Younan into reality and awareness of the situation. Looking at the ones wounded in the port and his own injuries, Li Younan knew that the logistics center was doomed.
Ten minutes later, the three left the port. Behind them, the entire port was engulfed in flames. The huge piles of goods, containers, and rows of large cargo ships, became fuel for the fire.
The people of the logistics center had already retreated from the port. These people had no expressions on their faces, seeming stupefied by what they had just witnessed.
By the time the police car and the fire trucks arrived, the fire was completely out of control. The only thing they could do, was to prevent it from spreading beyond the port.
However, this was only the beginning. Two hours later, there was a report of another fire at the port of another city. Both these ports belonged to the super-large logistics centers of Kosa Company. At least half of the staff and security personnel were injured.
This was not the end In the early hours of the morning, another incident occurred at one of the largest warehouses of Kosa Company.
The blazing fire illuminated the night sky, and the heat waves swept out in all directions.
People could see the fires from miles away, and could even feel the heat from the flames.
“Wow, wow! It feels great to start fires everywhere. I am happy!”
Yang Shiwen ran excitedly out of the main entrance of the warehouse, which was on fire. Then she swung her little hand back to throw a lighter onto the raging fire.
The Lincoln limousine, which had been parked on the side of the road, moved slightly, and someone opened the door of the car.
Miss Yang slammed the car door and the car left quickly.
“Bump!”
At this time, Jiang Zhicheng smacked his fist hard, on the desk in the President’s office of Kosa Company.
“These three acts of arsons have ruined the logistics centers and warehouses of our Kosa Company, which is our lifeblood!” Jiang Zhicheng’s eyes were blazing with anger.
It was already the early hours of the morning. None of the executives of Kosa Company had returned home from work.
They were all standing in the President’s office, collectively holding their breath.
“CFO Piao Bugou, can you estimate how much we have lost, from these three acts of arson?” Jiang Zhicheng focused on his CFO, after he had lost his temper.
“The, the, in the two main logistics centers, the total loss is over 1 billion dollars for all the goods and cargo ships. Plus the warehouses, about 1.5 billion dollars,” Piao Bugou said sadly, as if he had lost his child. “This is not a big deal. The key is that most of the goods are not ours. As we are doing the logistics part, it involves at least hundreds of companies that were partnering with us…”
“Bump!”
Jiang Zhicheng was so angry that he slammed the table once again. Piao Bugou dared not speak again.
“Hundreds of companies that were partnering with us. It’s OK to lose money, but if we lose the relationship, how will we ever get the chance to make a comeback?” After Jiang Zhicheng finished this sentence, he lost his spirit.
“President, I think that someone is out to deliberately sabotage our company. It’s a shame that the people who are against us, has sent a beautiful girl to set fire to our goods everywhere.”
“President, since those who are against us, deliberately started the fires, they might launch a final attack on us. We must make preparations.”
“Yes, if nothing else, they are likely to target our headquarters directly.”
In order to draw Jiang Zhicheng’s attention, these executives began to divert the topic to those who had targeted them.
And this move seemed really good. When Jiang Zhicheng heard their words, he seemed fearful, but later, he was back to his normal self.
“Will they be able to locate our headquarters? Well, I will wait…” Jiang Zhicheng said with a grin.
However, even before he finished speaking, his female secretary dashed in, without even knocking on the door.
“Oh, president, a man, accompanied by two beautiful women, has broken in. One of the beautiful women, is holding a lighter, and is threatening to set fire to our headquarters building.” The female secretary said in a panic.
“Well, I will wait here to see how she will start the fire.”
At this point in time, Jiang Zhicheng suddenly calmed down and waved his hand, “Kosa company is now at its end. If you are willing to stay on with me to deal with the problems, I will make sure you are well taken care of. If you want to go, you can leave now.”
“President, my wife is about to give birth. I want to take leave and go home. I will come back soon!”
Jiang Zhicheng never expected that CFO Piao Bugou would be the first one to retreat. After saying this, the CFO turned and ran out.
“President, I just received a call that my daughter has a fever. I have to take leave now.”
“President, my dad had a heart attack, and I am taking leave.”
These spineless executives left, one by one. The office emptied in less than three minutes.
“Sheep without a shepherd!”
When there was only Jiang Zhicheng left in the office, he heard the hoarse voice again that chilled him to the bone. “No wonder Liu Feng can defeat your company so easily. You are all sheep without a shepherd!”
