Chapter 114 The Madness Before the Fire

In Guan Ziming's luxurious home.

The lights that had been burning continuously were all turned off at this moment.

Lin Yue sat casually in the bedroom chair with her legs crossed.

Guan Ziming stared wide-eyed at Lin Yue, his bottom pressed against the floor, his gaze fixed on her as if trying to see through her skin to discern who was beneath.

The scenes he had just experienced.

That terrifying phenomenon.

It's not something an ordinary person could do.

Who exactly is he?

Lin Yue stood up and slowly paced around the room, casually flipping through the pages, and then noticed an exquisite photo frame lying face down on the headboard.

Take a look.

Through the dim light, one could clearly see that the woman above was exceptionally beautiful, with exquisite features. She looked like she was working diligently in front of a computer. Although she wasn't showing off her charm much, her allure was still captivating.

Lin Yue looked at Li Shuran above, and the corner of her mouth twitched involuntarily.

A woman had been dead for several years, yet a single man still kept her photo in his home.

This means there's no need to even think about what it means.

So, I've found a love rival.

Silently, I put the photo frame down.

Lin Yue sat back down in her chair, ignoring his probing gaze, and said coldly, "Then tell me properly about Li Shuran, what is the connection between her death and Tianxi Textile Factory?"

Guan Ziming paused.

"Who exactly are you?"

This person definitely can't be Li Shuran's cousin, so who is he?

And why are you so concerned about the cause of Li Shuran's death?

"Never mind that. I don't have much patience. You'd better stop beating around the bush and just tell me," Lin Yue said.

Guan Ziming took a breath.

"Li Shuran committed suicide; there is no doubt about that."

Lin Yue raised an eyebrow slightly. "Are you serious?"

"Seriously, but the reason she committed suicide was definitely not because of any professional failure, but because of... fear."

"fear?"

"That's right...just like me."

Guan Ziming's voice was low and deep, as if he was very unwilling to recall that past event.

"When she took over the Tianxi Textile Factory case, it should have been a very happy thing, after all, it was the first case she handled as the lead lawyer."

"But this acquisition was far from as easy as we had imagined."

"The person who acquired Tianxi Textile Factory was very dishonest during the transaction. There were more than a dozen traps in the contract alone. As a business lawyer, Li Shuran did her job very well and pointed out all those problems one by one."

"This should have been her responsibility."

"But that's exactly what happened after the case stalled."

"That major accident happened at Tianxi Textile Factory."

"The fire not only killed several workers, but also turned the entire factory area into ruins."

"Li Shuran collapsed completely."

"Because in this way, the Humphrey Group can acquire the entire Tianxi Textile Factory at a bargain price, and all her previous efforts will be in vain."

"Although she was greatly affected at the time."

"But she didn't let it get her down."

"On the contrary, this disaster has raised some doubts."

Guan Ziming said with his head down, his eyes flashing with pain.

"This fire came about in a very strange way."

"The investigation concluded that a worker's violation of regulations caused a fire to start in the factory, which then quickly spread and led to this disaster."

"But all of this happened too coincidentally."

"Why did the factory catch fire so soon after the case was closed?"

"Moreover, the main suspect who caused the fire had taken a week off before the accident due to serious mental health issues, but on his first night back at work, he caused the fire."

"Behind every incident, there is only one beneficiary: that company."

"That's precisely why."

"Li Shuran launched an investigation into this matter."

"But the problem is, it seems that... during her investigation of the Humphrey Group, she discovered something incredible, and as a result, she became completely different from before... She became incredibly silent, suspicious, and her mental state suffered a serious problem."

"Something incredible? What is it?" Lin Yue asked.

"I don't know. She didn't tell anyone at the time. She just kept it to herself. Even this is something I deduced based on her usual behavior."

You guessed it?

"You can continue."

Guan Ziming breathed a long sigh of relief.

"call"

"However, if I had known what it was, maybe... that thing wouldn't have happened later."

"But generally speaking, I could tell from some unusual details that the whole thing was very wrong."

"First, there's the unusual condition of the deceased from the Tianxi Textile Factory."

"After the fire broke out, the workers who were trapped inside were probably terrified of the flames and fell into a state of extreme panic."

"So, the manner of death was quite strange."

"Some were completely wrapped in cloth, their facial features burned by the scalding cloth, and the fibers stuck to their skin, but the outer layer of cloth only became charred and did not burn in the fire."

"Some of them wrote their names on a lot of cloth before they died."

"Some of the fires had already set him ablaze, but some survivors said that they saw that the man, instead of trying to escape, desperately threw more cloth into the fire, trying to destroy it."

"And the one that impressed me the most."

"Then there was a mechanic who, surrounded by flames, forced himself to... Can you imagine a normal-sized adult, out of fear, squeezing himself into a desk that wasn't even a meter wide?"

As he spoke of this, the shadow on Guan Ziming's expression remained.

"The bones were all crushed, the blood was dried up, and the whole person was stuffed in the drawer like a piece of grilled steak, his whole body burned to a crisp."

"How did he do that?"

"I can't even imagine what kind of suffering that person endured before they died."

Would a human crush their own bones out of fear?

"I always felt that this was not something a human could do."

"Of course, it wasn't just him; there were other dead as well."

"After hearing about these unbelievable ways of dying, only one thought came to my mind."

Guan Ziming suddenly raised his head and looked out the window towards the northwest, where the original site of Tianxi Textile Factory used to be.

"After the fire broke out, the entire textile factory went crazy."

"...including Li Shuran."
