"This..." Tang Yumeng was stunned.

"This means Lin Chuan definitely isn't dead," Silver Fox seriously said.

"Then... where is he?" Tang Yumeng hurriedly asked.

"That... you'll have to ask Big Sister yourself," Silver Fox said, glancing at Tang Yumeng.

Shocked, Tang Yumeng stumbled and ran out, then opened the safe at home, took out a BlackBerry phone, a satellite phone used internally by the Fire Fox Organization. Tang Yumeng couldn't miss this opportunity, she had to get a clear answer from Silver Fox.

On the other end of the phone, Silver Fox's voice came through: "Red Fox..."

"Silver Fox!" Tang Yumeng gritted her teeth: "Is Lin Chuan with you?"

"Correct," Silver Fox nodded.

"Thank goodness," Tang Yumeng, learning the news, burst into tears of joy.

"You really don't appreciate him enough!" Silver Fox said, "This time, if it weren't for me, Lin Chuan might have lost his life."

"Yes, it's my fault," Tang Yumeng quickly nodded.

"He's at **** Hotel!" Silver Fox spoke.

"I'm on my way!" Tang Yumeng hurriedly hung up the phone.

After hanging up, Tang Yumeng dashed outside. Just then, Silver Fox urgently shouted, "Miss, you haven't changed your clothes yet, you're still in your pajamas!"

"It doesn't matter." Tang Yumeng left those words behind and sped away.

......

City Committee.

Tang Yumeng did not come to work today. Song Ming sat in his own office.

He had already heard about the fire.

"This fire was so sudden," the Chief of the Fire Department said helplessly, "Secretary Song, I should take responsibility for this, my efforts in putting out the fire were insufficient. We almost lost Secretary Tang."

"No, you're not to blame," Song Ming said.

"It's all my fault for not organizing the firefighting forces in time," the Chief of the Fire Department said guiltily.

Meanwhile, many officials sat there with straight faces, feeling very guilty about what had happened. However, a fire disaster is indeed an unexpected event.

The group talked about the fire incident for a long time. Discussions about responsibility could not be settled, as no one wanted to take on such responsibility.

"Enough," Song Ming interrupted their discussion, "Let's put an end to this matter. Let's continue with the meeting."

Inside the office, Song Ming continued the meeting with the group.

......

Qinghua Pool.

The head of the Tiger Gang, Northeast Tiger, also held an emergency meeting, gathering people to discuss the fire that happened last night in Western City District. This fire had a great impact, and now almost every TV station in Jiangbei City was broadcasting last night's news. Northeast Tiger was very interested in Mu Bai, an outdoor host in Jiangbei City, so he watched Mu Bai's news almost every day. He accidentally learned of the news last night.

"Boss, last night's fire at Western City District Drum Tower was arson," a subordinate hurriedly said.

"Is that so?" Northeast Tiger's mouth curved into a sinister smile, "Fuck, I knew it had to be arson, and it was aimed at Tang Yumeng."

"What?" The group was suddenly stunned.

"Hmph!" Northeast Tiger snorted coldly, "It seems we should also keep something up our sleeve."

"Who are we not going all out against?" a lieutenant hurriedly asked.

"Who else can it be?" Dongbei Tiger smirked coldly.

"Could it be him?" The crowd looked towards Dongbei Tiger.

"Yes!" Dongbei Tiger nodded.

"Impossible, right?" The group couldn't believe it.

"What's there not to believe?" Dongbei Tiger chuckled, then said: "Every man for himself heaven for us all. Isn't he also acting in his own interests?"

"This..." the lieutenant hesitated.

"If he's guarding against me, how can I not guard against him?" Dongbei Tiger chuckled.

"Makes sense!" Everyone nodded in agreement.

"This partnership is just a cooperation based on interests," Dongbei Tiger glanced at the crowd and continued: "Lately, the exchanges between him and us have faded, which means he's starting to distance himself from us."

"But... It's not necessary to be wary, right?" someone spoke up: "After all, he has helped us quite a bit."

"But we've helped him a lot too!" Dongbei Tiger smiled: "How much profit do we funnel to him each year? I already said, our relationship is cooperative and beneficial. This kind of relationship can break at any moment. Therefore, we must be cautious."

"Yes!" The subordinates all nodded.

"I heard that Tang Yumeng wasn't seriously hurt in the fire?" Dongbei Tiger inquired.

"That's right!" the lieutenant quickly nodded, adding: "She was rescued by Lin Chuan, but Lin Chuan died."

"Hehe..." a strange smirk crept across Dongbei Tiger's lips, saying: "Really dead? Have you seen the body?"

"This..." Everyone glanced at each other, then said: "We haven't seen the body."

"Exactly." Dongbei Tiger laughed, saying: "No body found, how can his death be confirmed? In my opinion, it's very likely Lin Chuan is fine. He's probably hiding somewhere, enjoying himself."

"Why would he do this?" a bearded man asked curiously.

"From what I know about Lin Chuan, he's a low-profile guy," Dongbei Tiger chuckled and continued: "The bank robbery last October, in fact, it was Lin Chuan who killed those four robbers, not that Song Xiaojia. Following that, the crisis at the vanguard chemical plant, that was also Lin Chuan's doing... yet, he never got the accolades. This shows, he dislikes public attention. Now, the media caught him rescuing someone at the scene, he probably just wants to lay low and enjoy some peace."

Everyone listened and suddenly understood.

"I and our boss came to the same conclusion!" Qiu Wuming spoke up.

"Hehe, if the third brother thinks so, then it must be correct," Dongbei Tiger glanced at his people and added: "So, this time Song Ming's failure is actually an opportunity for us."

"What do you mean?" they inquired urgently.

"Find a way to capture the arsonist," Dongbei Tiger narrowed his eyes: "That's a leverage over him, beneficial for us."

"Yes!" Everyone immediately nodded.

......

In the hotel's room.

Tang Yumeng collected her room card from the front desk, then hurriedly opened the door to Lin Chuan's room. She was desperate to see Lin Chuan. The urgency inside made Tang Yumeng's steps swing like a rapidly oscillating pendulum.

Tang Yumeng appearing at the hotel in her pajamas certainly caught quite a few eyes.

Upon opening the room's door, Tang Yumeng's steps halted. She dared not walk forward because she was scared; she feared that everything was a scam. After hesitating for a moment, she slowly walked in.
