Chapter 221: Chapter 140: Eight Treasure Pickles Successfully Marinated, Unexpectedly Delicious!

Water and fire are merciless.

There are numerous painful cases online where years of hard work were reduced to ashes by a fire.

Seeing the first piece of information updated today, Jiang Tao broke out in a sweat for Li Ming.

Although they haven’t known each other for long and haven’t interacted much, they get along well.

The impression Li Ming gave Jiang Tao was that of a friend worth getting closer to.

Just last night, Li Ming spent five or six thousand treating him, Xu Li, and Zhang Bo to dinner.

It clearly shows that Li Ming also regards him as a friend.

Now, upon seeing the information related to Li Ming’s car dealership, Jiang Tao naturally couldn’t remain indifferent and turn a blind eye.

Besides, there’s also that 200,000 thank-you gift!

Yesterday, he spent 700,000 buying a car from Li Ming, minus this 200,000.

It was like getting a million-dollar Mercedes GLS for just 500,000, definitely a great deal.

Although it seemed like a long time, these thoughts flashed through Jiang Tao’s mind in just a dozen seconds.

A tiny spark can start a prairie fire, let alone a car that self-ignites!

This is an urgent matter and can’t wait!

As Jiang Tao got out of bed and walked towards the door with his phone, he dialed Li Ming’s number.

Beep beep beep—

"Hurry up and answer! You wouldn’t have drunk too much, would you?"

Watching the call not being answered, Jiang Tao felt anxious for Li Ming.

A car can turn into a shell within minutes once it catches fire.

If the surrounding cars ignite as well, the loss would be tremendous!

...

In a room at Bulgari Hotel, Sanlitun.

Ring, ring—

The sudden ringing of the phone startled Li Ming, interrupting his activity.

Annoyed, he glanced at the phone to see "Brother Jiang" displayed as the caller.

"Who’s calling, darling? Just ignore it, let’s continue."

Li Ming’s female companion reached for the phone in his hand, but Li Ming evaded her by moving his arm.

"Let me take this call first, be quiet."

After signaling to his companion, Li Ming swiped his finger to answer the call.

"Li Ming, I just saw a video on Quick Shake about a used car dealership catching fire."

"It looked so much like your car lot."

"Are you at the car lot? Go check it out quickly."

As soon as the call connected, before Li Ming could greet Jiang Tao on the other end, an urgent reminder came through.

"Huh? Brother Jiang, you must be kidding, it can’t be our car lot, we have someone on duty."

"If anything like that happened, the person on duty would notify me immediately."

Upon hearing Jiang Tao’s words, although Li Ming thought it probably wasn’t his car lot, a hint of unease arose within him.

"Of course, it’s best if it’s not your lot. I hope it’s not yours either."

"But with others having this precedent, pay close attention to this as well."

"Nothing else, just wanted to give you a heads up. I’m going to sleep now."

After warning Li Ming, Jiang Tao hung up without further chatter.

The decisive and straightforward hang-up was to avoid delaying Li Ming’s best rescue time.

"Who was that, Brother Ming? Calling you in the middle of the night."

Li Ming’s female companion leaned back against the headboard, lighting a cigarette, sounding somewhat displeased.

"Shut up, you have no right to interfere in these matters!"

Looking annoyed, Li Ming glared at his companion, then turned his attention to his phone, opening the surveillance footage from the car lot on the app.

Seeing the fierce flames in the northeast corner of the car lot, Li Ming was instantly dumbfounded, a chill shooting from his tailbone to his head.

It really is my own car lot that’s on fire!!

"Damn it! What is Uncle doing!!"

Swearing, Li Ming quickly found the phone number of the car lot’s duty officer and dialed it!

While dialing, Li Ming hurriedly put on his clothes, ignoring his companion’s shouts, and rushed out of the room.

"Damn it! Answer the phone already!!!"

Waiting for the elevator, Li Ming stared at the still ringing phone, his mind cursing his uncle’s ancestors in succession! 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Ding!

The moment the elevator doors opened, the call finally connected on Li Ming’s dialing phone.

"Hello, Xiao Ming..."

"Wu Defa! What the hell are you doing!!"

"Huh??"

On the other end, Wu Defa was baffled by his nephew’s outburst.

"What do you mean huh!! The D area of the car lot is on fire!"

"Are you still sleeping you jerk!! Go put out the fire immediately!!!"

In the middle of the night, Li Ming’s roar frightened many guests engaged in activities inside their rooms.

Engulfed in anger, Li Ming couldn’t care less about public decorum.

After cursing, he stepped into the elevator, furiously pressing the close button.

On the other end, upon hearing Li Ming’s words, Wu Defa also screamed and dashed out of the room to extinguish the fire, leaving his phone behind.

Half an hour later.

The hotel shuttle Li Ming was in stopped at the entrance of the car dealership.

Getting out, he anxiously opened the door and sprinted towards the D area of the car lot.

The vehicles in the D area were all luxury BBA cars.

Even as second-hand ones, their prices ranged from 200,000 to 300,000, even 600,000 or 700,000.

The most expensive one was a G-Class priced over a million, which Li Ming took out today for a show-off.

If D area caught fire, the loss would be enormous!

Upon entering the car lot, Li Ming was immediately hit by a thick smell of burning.

Arriving at D area, seeing three nearby cars already burnt to shells and still emitting black smoke, Li Ming felt an intense heartache.
