In the garage.

Ding Yue took his secretary Wen Ruohan and his AI robot Big White, immediately got into the car, and left Mist City Esports Stadium.

At the same time, Huang Youjie and Xu Bin also followed in their cars.

The school had reported a fire in the student dormitory.

This was no small matter; if any students were trapped inside the dormitory building, it would be terrible.

Ding Yue did not want such an incident to occur at his Mist City Arts and Science University, especially he did not want to see any student casualties due to a fire at his university.

After all, a fire was already distressing enough.

"Xiao Wen, call Director Qi Chunsheng, I need to know the current situation,"

While driving seriously, Ding Yue told his secretary Wen Ruohan to call Director Qi Chunsheng on his behalf since he was too agitated to make the call himself while driving.

"Understood, Principal Ding,"

Upon hearing his instruction, Wen Ruohan immediately took out her mobile phone, found Director Qi Chunsheng’s number in the address book, and called him.

"Hello, Director Qi, this is Wen Ruohan,"

After connecting the call, Wen Ruohan immediately asked, "Principal Ding asked me to check on how the situation is at the fire scene?"

"Turn on the speakerphone,"

Ding Yue instructed.

Wen Ruohan immediately switched to speakerphone.

"Principal Ding, the fire department is already here, the fire has been brought under control, and all the students from the entire dormitory building have been evacuated,"

Director Qi Chunsheng responded over the phone.

"Director Qi, are there any student casualties?"

Ding Yue hurriedly asked.

This was the question Ding Yue was most concerned about; the best-case scenario would be no student casualties, otherwise, the matter would not be so simple. Moreover, as the principal, he had already prayed countless times in his heart for the safety of his students.

"Principal Ding, after several students in dormitory 325 realized the fire couldn’t be extinguished, they immediately evacuated and alerted the other students to leave the building as well, and reported it to the school at the first opportunity, and we organized the evacuation. There were no injuries among any students,"

Director Qi Chunsheng answered.

"Phew."

When Ding Yue heard from Director Qi Chunsheng that no students were injured, a weight lifted from his heart.

"Director Qi, get a handle on the specifics at the scene first, I’ll be right back,"

After finishing, Ding Yue continued to drive seriously.

"Alright, Principal Ding, I’ll immediately get a clear understanding of the specifics of the fire and report to you when you return,"

After saying this, Director Qi Chunsheng hung up the phone.

"Principal Ding, you don’t need to worry so much now. Since the fire is under control and the students are safe, you don’t have to be in such a rush,"

Seeing Principal Ding’s nerves had been strained ever since he learned of the fire in the dormitory building, Wen Ruohan hurriedly urged him to relax.

"How can I not worry?"

Ding Yue sighed and said, "Thankfully no students were injured. We must take this as a warning!"

In Ding Yue’s mind, a plan for safety education was already forming, and the fire in the dormitory building definitely did not happen without cause.

Once the cause of the fire was clear, it had to be dealt with seriously.

This time they were lucky that no students were injured, but if they did not take this seriously and learn from it, what if there was a next time?

"Indeed, we should take this as a warning. Could it be that some students were using high-power electrical appliances in the dormitory?"

Wen Ruohan agreed with Principal Ding’s statement and speculated about the cause of the fire.

"That possibility cannot be excluded,"

Ding Yue nodded slightly and said, "The electrical wiring in our newly constructed dormitory buildings and apartments adhere to residential standards, but it’s different for the old campus dormitories."

Initially, Ding Yue thought that a fire caused by high-power electrical appliances was unlikely because the wiring at Mist City Arts and Science University’s dormitory buildings, apartments, and other constructions were all built to the highest standards.

However, it was an older dormitory building in the old campus where the fire occurred.

The old campus belonged to the former Mist City Siyuan University and had been around for many years, and indeed, the electrical wiring in aging university buildings can be relatively more hazardous.

So Ding Yue did not dismiss Wen Ruohan’s speculation about a fire triggered by the use of high-power electrical appliances.

On the Mist City Arts and Science University side.

After the firefighters arrived on the scene, they immediately began putting out the fire.

Fortunately, the fire was detected early enough, and by the time firefighters arrived, it had not yet spread, and all the students within the dormitory building were evacuated by the school personnel in a timely manner.

"Director Qi, can you confirm once more that there are no students left in the building?"

The fire captain asked Director Qi Chunsheng for confirmation again.

After all, as firefighters, they had to ensure rescue operations while fighting the fire.

"Yes, our school has already confirmed multiple times; when the fire broke out it wasn’t too severe, we evacuated all the students from the entire building,"

Director Qi Chunsheng nodded and answered.

By now, an increasing number of students had gathered below the building. Initially, when the thick smoke billowed from the Peach Garden dormitory building, the students were quite panicked, and many others came to observe the situation.
