40: Zero Yuan Purchase, a Big Bang

The man who was stopped looked solemn and shook his head, "I don't know, I saw there was a fire here, and came here to help put it out." As he spoke, he did not stop and went to fetch water with the tools in his hand.

After hearing this, Xiao Li became uneasy. He walked through the crowd and went straight through the iron gate.

Xiao Li is now standing in the garden, surrounded by people coming and going to fight the fire. There is still a steady stream of flames coming out of the villa. As he gets closer, he can feel the interweaving of heat waves and smoke, which makes him cough constantly.

At this time, he also saw that there were many people from the Zhao family among the rescuers. He quickly approached and asked, "Where are the master, the lady, the young master, and the young lady?"

When they saw that it was Xiao Li, they shook their heads and said, "I don't know. I started to put out the fire as soon as I found it, but I haven't seen the master and his men for such a long time. I'm sure that the fire came from the master's study. The master..."

The servant turned pale upon hearing this, and said with fear and anxiety, "Master... Young Master... Young Lady... They won't..."

The servants' voices were trembling. They were very scared. If something happened to the masters of the Zhao family, where would they go? If they lost their jobs in the Zhao family, they...

Xiao Li was no longer calm. He had forgotten the purpose of his return and joined the firefighting efforts.

What happened in Fang Xiaorou's villa has not been discovered by anyone. The person Zhao Wenchen arranged to monitor Fang Xiaorou's door did not receive any instructions and did not enter the villa.

The fire at the Zhao family villa took several hours to put out, and it was finally put out at around four o'clock.

The servants of the Zhao family looked at the corpses carried out from the master's study. Their identities could be seen from the jewelry they were wearing.

The servants looked at each other in dismay. They were all very sad and confused. The masters of the Zhao family were all burned to death. So where should they go from now on? In this era, it is very difficult to find a stable job.

While everyone was immersed in sadness, a servant said, "Master Wenchen is not at home. He seemed to have gone away by car..." This servant saw Zhao Wenchen and his men leave by car in the morning.

When the servants heard this, how could they wait any longer?

As long as there is still one person in the Zhao family, the Zhao family can survive and their jobs can be saved, so they sent a few people to find Zhao Wenchen, wanting him to return to the Zhao family villa and take charge of the situation.

When they arrived at the gate of Fang Xiaorou's villa, they immediately met up with their companions who were still at the gate. They learned from them that Zhao Wenchen was still in the villa, and their mood suddenly turned from gloomy to sunny.

The few people who had just rushed here from the Zhao family shouted anxiously towards Fang Xiaorou's villa, wanting someone to come and open the door so that they could go in and find Zhao Wenchen.

The people who had stayed here were confused when they saw their anxious looks. When they heard from them that a fire had broken out in the Zhao family villa, they also became uneasy.

However, after they had been shouting for a long time, no one came out of the villa. They began to have a bad feeling. Someone climbed over the gate without thinking, opened it, and everyone walked into the villa.

When they entered the living room, they saw Zhao Wenchen lying in the villa, covered in blood. Their faces suddenly turned gloomy. They hurried over, stretched out their hands to feel Zhao Wenchen's breath, and found that he was no longer breathing.

They saw Fang Shuyong's body lying nearby, and looked around. They didn't see any other members of the Fang family, so they knew that Zhao Wenchen's death was related to the Fang family.

But now, these are no longer important to them. The owner of the Zhao family is gone. They want to get the most benefits from the Zhao family before the Zhao family members come over, and then fly away...

The carriage that Fang Feifei and the others were in smoothly left the city gate, and as soon as they left the city gate they sped up and soon left those who were following them behind.

The people of the Fang family had been tense since they got on the carriage, but they relaxed after leaving the city gate. As long as they left Shanghai, their danger would be temporarily over.

As we got further away from Shanghai, the roads on both sides became more and more desolate. Several horse-drawn carriages were driving on the bumpy official road, and the wheels made rhythmic sounds.

Things are not peaceful everywhere now, and they have to find a place to stay before dark.

In Shanghai, the Zhao family’s shops and factories were in chaos.

When the creditors got the news that the Zhao family had passed away and no one would repay their money, they came to the house and moved their belongings to pay off their debts.

The workers who worked for the Zhao family also took action, looting supplies to pay for their wages.

Little Puppet also received news that there was a fire at the Zhao family's house.

When the officer heard that the Zhao family's house was on fire, he didn't take it seriously. He thought that they could just put out the fire. But when the officer heard that the head of the Zhao family had died in the fire, he suddenly lost his composure.

The Zhao family is considered a big family in Shanghai, and they have quite a few assets (they don’t know about the burglary of the Zhao family’s villa). Before, the Zhao family was used by them, and they didn’t touch the Zhao family. But now everyone in the Zhao family is dead, and there is no one in the Zhao family to work for them. Then what about the assets under the Zhao family’s name...

Thinking of this, the leader of the little puppet immediately ordered his soldiers to gather their troops and go to the Zhao family. They must not let the Zhao family's wealth fall into their hands. It was just right for them to take advantage of the opportunity to investigate the fire at the Zhao family and take control of the Zhao family. With the Zhao family's wealth, they could add a lot of supplies to the camp.

When the little puppet rushed to the shop owned by the Zhao family, many people had already left satisfied with the money they had obtained. Of course, there were still many greedy people who were still looting.

Eventually, they were met with the arrival of the Japanese devils. Not only did they get nothing, but they were also severely taught a lesson by the little puppet.

When night fell, Little Puppet got some information from the servants of the Zhao family and learned that the Zhao family had sent people to monitor Fang Feifei and Fang Xiaorou's homes respectively.

They could guess that the Fang family was the next target of the Zhao family, so they hurried in the direction of the Fang family. In the end, they only found a small amount of supplies in the property under Fang Shuyong's name, and on Mr. Fang's side, they saw an empty...
