"Huh?"

Director Qi Chunsheng called Principal Ding to report on the investigation of the fire’s cause but, even though the call went through, no one answered.

"What’s the matter, Director Qi?"

Captain Zhang of the fire department asked.

"Principal Ding didn’t answer my call. Without Principal Ding’s instructions, I’m not in a position to handle the subsequent matters."

Director Qi Chunsheng was well aware that in this private institution, Mist City Arts and Science University, Principal Ding had the final say.

He was just an employee.

"Alright then, your school will handle the students. We have put out the fire and are about to withdraw our team,"

Captain Zhang said.

"Thank you so much, Captain Zhang. We’re truly grateful for the timely rescue by the fire department. Who knows what would have happened to this place if the fire had kept spreading,"

Director Qi Chunsheng said as he grabbed Captain Zhang’s hand, expressing his thanks with great emotion.

"Sigh, if those students had noticed the fire earlier and used the fire extinguishers, it wouldn’t have gotten this bad,"

Captain Zhang said with a sigh.

Of course.

When Captain Zhang mentioned "this bad," he was speaking relatively. The fire had only burned through most of a dormitory, mainly destroying wooden wardrobes, desks, clothes, books, and the like.

The metal bed frames were just blackened by the fire and would definitely all have to be replaced.

"Indeed,"

Director Qi nodded and said, "Captain Zhang, what do you think of our firefighting measures?"

"When we finished putting out the fire and checked, the fire hydrants, extinguishers, and the green emergency exit signs and such, were all in good order. If the students had reacted sooner, we could have avoided today’s fire,"

Captain Zhang said seriously.

It must be said that Mist City Arts and Science University did have proper fire safety measures in place. However, an accident occurred today because a few students from dormitory 325 were so engrossed in watching a match of the Mist City Arts and Science University FY team that they overlooked the trash can that had caught fire. By the time they realized it and tried using the fire extinguisher, it was too hard to put out the flames, leading to the fire that burned down their dorm room.

"Sigh."

Upon hearing this, Director Qi couldn’t help but let out a resigned sigh.

Today’s fire at Mist City Arts and Science University would inevitably affect the university’s "reputation" to some extent.

As the Director of Academic Affairs at Mist City Arts and Science University, Director Qi Chunsheng was naturally accountable for this matter, since the fire had broken out in student dormitories.

"Director Li, immediately take someone to inspect the entire dormitory building. Once it’s confirmed to be safe, start organizing students to return to their rooms,"

Director Qi Chunsheng called over Director Li from the dormitory management department and gave his instructions.

At this time, both Principal Ding and Director Huang from the logistics department were absent, leaving Director Qi Chunsheng to shoulder the responsibility of restoring normal operations at the school.

The dormitory management department had already begun organizing staff to clear the aftermath of the fire in dormitory 325.

Along with checking the dormitory building’s electrical system and fire inspections, students would not be allowed to return to their dorm rooms until all checks were complete and safety was confirmed.

As for the four students from dormitory 325, their room was burned in the fire, and they needed temporary accommodations. They could only move back after the dorm was refurbished and repaired.

Of course, there would be punishments for the fire incident in dormitory 325; however, Director Qi thought that there was no rush to decide on the penalties now and that it would be better to wait for Principal Ding to return.

Moreover, the fire wasn’t a simple accident caused by the dormitory students; rather, it involved two students from an external institution, which complicated the matter. The issue required communication with Mist City University of Technology to resolve.

Unfortunately, Director Qi Chunsheng had just tried to call Principal Ding.

The call went through, but no one answered.

Over at Ding Yue’s end,

he was too busy to answer the phone, as all his attention was captured by a bus.

Of course, there was also his artificial intelligence robot, Big White.

Big White sprang into action just as the bus was about to hit the bridge’s railings, darting forward right before the bus could break through and fall into the river.

The massive force exerted by Big White slowed down the bus considerably, leaving even the bus driver bewildered. What should have been a split second away from dropping off the bridge into the river was somehow halted by something in front.

Using the resistance from the bridge’s railings and its own significant arm strength, Big White tried to stop the bus from falling off the bridge.

Zzzt zzzt zzzt!

Sizzling sounds!

Soon, Big White’s arms and various mechanical joints inside its body started to produce abnormal noises.

Even though Big White could lift a thousand pounds, the sheer size of the bus, along with the passengers it carried, presented a massive impact force.

Nevertheless, Big White did its utmost, firmly blocking the bus head-on.

"Big White!"

Watching this scene from inside the vehicle, Ding Yue’s heart skipped a beat. He was genuinely concerned that if Big White couldn’t hold back the bus, a tragedy would occur.
