Chapter 249: Human Work (First Update, Seeking Monthly Tickets)
The Fire Investigation Team replied, "The family who escaped also lived on the top floor, but the explosion didn't start in their kitchen. It started in the apartment across from them."
"The apartment across from them was the Yu Wangyou family's."
"According to the information we received from the hospital, that family also suffered tremendous damage. The adults and children are still unconscious. The girl who is awake is Yu Wangyou's neighbor. It is said that she couldn't sleep because she chatted with Yu Wangyou half the night, so she wasn't affected."
The reporters were even more excited.
"What's this girl's name? Is she a relative or classmate of Yu Wangyou?"
"This is personal privacy, please forgive us for not disclosing it."
"Then why did the natural gas leak in the Yu Family's kitchen? And how did the explosion affect the entire building?"
"According to our fire investigation, the natural gas leak started in the Yu Family's kitchen, and then it encountered sparks from incense burning in the kitchen, which caused a huge explosion."
"Then why did the natural gas leak? Was it due to aging pipes, or... a man-made accident?"
"According to the on-site investigation, unfortunately, the natural gas leak was indeed due to aging pipes. Everyone should know that this building is a very old building, with hundreds of years of history."
"There are many such buildings in our Mulan City. We hope this unfortunate accident can serve as a wake-up call for Mulan City's municipal construction."
"Urban renewal is imperative. We can no longer allow our residents to live in these old buildings from hundreds of years ago. There are too many fire hazards!"
"So, this is just an unfortunate accident?"
"Yes, it is indeed an unfortunate accident."
"If Yu Wangyou hadn't committed suicide, would she have also died in the natural gas explosion in her kitchen?"
"Based on the time of the accident, your conclusion is correct. Even if she hadn't taken poison, she would have died in the natural gas explosion. In fact, her parents and the family's nanny all died in this accident."
...
When this fire investigation press conference was held, Xia Chujian was already in a private room at Imperial Official Hospital No. 892, waiting for Xia Yuanfang and Wu Fu to wake up.
Si Xi hadn't been able to be sent to the emergency room, but it had woken up on its own and was now lying obediently at her feet, without making a sound.
Xia Yuanfang and Wu Fu had just been sent out of the emergency room.
After the doctor's examination, they were not in life-threatening danger, but they had inhaled too much dust, so they were temporarily unable to wake up.
The hospital had arranged for Xia Yuanfang and Wu Fu to enter the Medical Cabin, which could eliminate the effects of the dust more quickly.
However, only a few doctors in this hospital could operate this Medical Cabin. It was still early, and the hospital couldn't find a suitable doctor for the time being.
Xia Chujian then sent a message to Shen Junyi.
Shen Junyi was a doctor who treated Gene Evolvers. Xia Yuanfang and Wu Fu's symptoms didn't require Shen Junyi's intervention at all, so the hospital had no intention of notifying Shen Junyi.
Xia Chujian had no choice but to ask Shen Junyi for help through personal connections.
Shen Junyi rushed over after receiving the message.
"Chujian, how is your Aunt?"
He hadn't seen Xia Chujian for a few months, but he still had contact with Xia Yuanfang privately.
He didn't expect that after only a few days of no contact, Xia Yuanfang was back in the hospital.
He was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead.
Xia Chujian used to come to the hospital to see Shen Junyi almost every week for her aunt's sake.
That feeling of oppression, humility, and helplessness had weighed heavily on her heart for three years.
She actually had a lot of resistance to this place.
So, since Xia Yuanfang was discharged from the hospital, she had subconsciously stopped contacting him.
Seeing Shen Junyi again, Xia Chujian was a little embarrassed. She quickly stood up and bowed deeply, saying, "Aunt inhaled too much dust into her lungs. I was hoping she could enter the Medical Cabin for quick elimination, so I sent you a message... It's not even four in the morning yet, I'm disturbing your sleep..."
"It's okay, I'm used to it. I'll go take a look." Shen Junyi was more concerned about Xia Yuanfang after all. He nodded to Xia Chujian and hurriedly had Xia Yuanfang and Wu Fu pushed into the treatment room where the Medical Cabin was located.
Xia Chujian was relieved, and then she felt the Quantum Optical Brain watch carrier on her wrist emitting a message notification sound.
She casually raised her hand to take a look and was immediately stunned.
It turned out to be a Hot Search push notification.
And the push notification clearly showed that it was a long Star Network post from an account called "Yu Wangyou"!
By the time Xia Chujian saw this explosively popular Hot Search, it had already been an hour since Yu Wangyou's account had automatically posted the article.
Xia Chujian hurriedly clicked on the Hot Search to read the original text.
She read the content of this long Star Network post three times back and forth before realizing that Yu Wangyou had written down what she had told her last night in more detail and posted it on the Star Network...
There was a lot of specific information in it that Xia Chujian was only learning about now.
Because of this explosive blog post, the Star Network was flooded with push notifications about this long Star Network post! The top ten Hot Searches on the Star Network were all related to Yu Wangyou's topic!
Some people were sympathizing with her, pitying her, while others were cursing her.
#Your classmates only lost their lives, but Yu Wangyou apologized!#
#What's the point of having the Punishment Department and the Law and Justice Department if apologies are useful?#
#She's also a pitiful person, let's not be too harsh on her!#
#When she was hurt, did anyone offer her a helping hand?#
#But if she doesn't say anything, the Disciplinary Department and the Special Security Bureau wouldn't know!#
#It's that Judge Organization! It seems they've even infiltrated the Imperial City!#
#Cults are harmful! Let's take this as a warning#
...
Xia Chujian's mood was mixed.
This popularity was indeed going to overshadow the news of the emperor killing members of the Imperial Clan...
And those words that Yu Wangyou used to praise her in her long Star Network post made her even more confused.
If she wasn't really involved, she would have thought Yu Wangyou was praising someone else!
It seemed that Yu Wangyou was already planning to commit suicide when she was chatting with her last night.
Last night, Yu Wangyou, and the various abnormal phenomena of the Yu Family, even Liu Shun noticed, but she didn't think much about it...
Xia Chujian felt guilty and ashamed.
She really didn't deserve those praises that Yu Wangyou had given her in her suicide note.
And she was really too insensitive last night, she never thought that Yu Wangyou would end her life in this way.
Just as she was feeling sorry for Yu Wangyou, her Quantum Optical Brain's message notification sound and video call invitations rang out one after another.
This time, it wasn't just the Hot Search push notifications on the Star Network, but also messages and video call requests from her relatives, teammates, friends, as well as her superiors and mentor.
Xia Chujian then realized that everyone must know about the collapse of her building.
So many things had happened around her in the past two days, she was really causing trouble for everyone...
She first opened the messages from Aunt Chen, Zhu Yingying, and San Zong, these three Humanoids.
[Aunt Chen]: Chujian, are you and Xia Researcher okay?! We saw on the Star Network that your building caught fire and exploded, and only three people survived! I hope it's you! I know it must be you!
[Zhu Yingying]: Chujian! Tell me you're okay! Tell me you're okay!
[San Zong]: San Zong believes Young Lord is definitely okay! San Zong believes Young Lord is definitely okay! - As long as Young Lord gives San Zong a small punctuation mark in reply.
Xia Chujian twitched her lips, pulled the three Humanoids into a group, and replied uniformly.
[Xia Chujian]: I'm fine, Aunt Chen guessed right, the survivors are me, Aunt, and Wu Fu, Si Xi, and Liu Shun. Liu Shun is our Housekeeping Robot.
Then she accepted the video call invitation from the Dark Night Hunter Team.
It was initiated by Ye Shijie in the Squad Channel, and the whole team could have a video call together.
Xia Chujian sighed and said, "I'm fine, don't worry."
Ping Qiong stared at her background and said, "You're in the hospital, and you say you're fine?"
"I can sit here and talk to you, of course I'm fine." Xia Chujian clicked on the camera switch to let them see the ward, "It's my Aunt and Wu Fu, they are still in the Medical Cabin."
"Ah? What happened to Xia Gugu and Wu Fu?"
Ping Qiong knew about Wu Fu and had mentioned it to the team, so they all knew Wu Fu had been adopted by the Xia Family.
Xia Chujian thought for a moment and said, "They absorbed too much dust when the building collapsed, so they're still unconscious. But they're already in the Medical Cabins, so they should be fine."
The teammates breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Shijie said, "Can you manage on your own? Should our team take turns helping you?"
They hadn't taken on any missions lately and were resting at home.
Ping Qiong and Song Mingqian were fine with it, but Li Fu scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "I'd like to help Xia Chujian too, but I'm on Beichen Star right now and can't get back right away."
Xia Chujian smiled and said, "I know you guys are good to me, but it's really not necessary. My Aunt and Wu Fu don't have any serious injuries. The Medical Cabin will take care of it in a few minutes, so don't make a fuss."
Ping Qiong then said, "Chujian, your house is gone for now. Why don't you stay at my place? The house I bought has been empty all this time."
Then she said embarrassedly, "It's just that it hasn't been renovated yet, so don't mind it..."
Xia Chujian remembered when she went out in the Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha in the early hours of the morning, she had glanced at the fully furnished apartment Ping Qiong bought...
She smiled and said, "Really, there's no need. By the way, did I ever tell you that I bought a piece of land a while ago? I just built a house on it, so I can move in."
The team members: "!!!"
"When did that happen?! Xia Chujian is amazing!"
"Chujian, you didn't even tell us?! Don't you consider us friends?!"
Xia Chujian quickly said, "It's not that I was hiding it from you. There were a lot of things that weren't done before, like building a fence, building a house, and decorating. I was planning to invite you over for a housewarming party after the renovation was done. You can use my house as a base for the team in the future."
"You still need to build a fence? Is it big?" Ye Shijie reacted immediately, "Where is it?"
"It's on the North Side of Mulan City, where it borders the Exotic Beast Forest. Remember where that Flying Vehicle was parked? It's there... It's not that big, maybe ten hectares."
Xia Chujian said casually, and the teammates were silent.
They thought she would buy a piece of land to build a detached villa at most, but—ten hectares!
Is she even human? Li Fu widened his eyes: "Xia Chujian, did you really buy such a large piece of land?! Do you know how heavy the land tax is?! Also, does this land really have a land deed? Don't get scammed!"
Ping Qiong didn't think so much and immediately said, "I'm free these few days. I'll help you with moving."
Speaking of moving, Xia Chujian smiled wryly and patted the gun case beside her: "This is the only thing I managed to salvage. I have to go back and see if there's anything that hasn't been burned in the ruins of my house."
Li Fu frowned: "I saw the news. The fire was so big, and the explosion was so violent, how could anything be left?"
