Victory in Life
Chapter 578
Fire and smoke engulfed the construction site on the south bank of the Southface river, drawing the attention of many.
Long before he arrived, Jasper could already see how the flames illuminated half of the sky as smoke soared into the air. The smell of burning materials
seeped into the air many kilometers away from the scene.
"This is not a small fire this time, Jasper, from the looks of it I think is quite severe," Julian spoke grimly to Jasper.
Jasper took a deep breath and replied calmly, "It's okay, not a loss if it can be fixed with money."
The large Bentley arrived outside the construction site and was restrained by warning tape mounted by firefighters.
Jasper did not explain himself to firefighters as he got out of the car and walked towards the scene.
Jasper and Julian were currently about 700 to 800 meters away from the site, but despite being far away, Jasper could still feel the searing heat from the scene, the report said, it talks about how severe this fire is and it spreads quickly.
"Master... Lord Laine!"
After arriving in front of them, Sean ran over breathlessly, Sean's meticulous suit was now in a humiliating state with traces of soot everywhere, the man was drenched in sweat, soaking in sweat, and it was a sad sight.
"What's the situation?" Jasper walked towards the location with Sean following beside him.
Panting, Sean replied, "The fire hasn't gone out yet, but the firefighters told me that from what they saw, the fire appeared in two different places, the resting place and residence of the workers, and the warehouse for all building materials.
"The two fires appeared almost simultaneously, so that explains why the fire was so unrelenting.
Firefighters suspect arson, but there's no real evidence."
Sean took a deep breath and wiped the sweat on his forehead. "I agree, that's what I thought too"
A firefighter who appears to be the captain ran over to Jasper and interrupted Sean with the question, "Who are you?"
Jasper did not mind the sudden attitude of the others and replied, "I'm the one in charge of JW Real Estates."
Firefighters mocked and pointed to a construction site still on fire. "What kind of security measures are you using here? it's so hard to withstand a fire this big, you have to take legal responsibility if people lose their lives or get hurt from this fire!"
Sean's expression changed, and he was about to reprimand the captain when Jasper waved at Sean to stop him.
"I understand how you feel, captain, but trust me when I say that I'm more nervous about this than you are, you have to trust me when I say that there is nothing wrong with the security measures at the construction site, we can talk about whether I should be responsible or not later, he said, but I only have one request at the moment."
Jasper's gaze turned serious as he looked at the captain and continued, "Do whatever you can to minimize the damage done to my workers!"
The captain was astonished when he heard Jasper, he had dealt with countless industrial fires and almost every boss was most worried about their property and materials, he said, this was the first time he had heard such a request.
"Are you not worried about losing property?" ask captain.
Jasper replied calmly, "I can continue to invest if it's just a monetary loss and I can buy more facilities if it's broken, but there's nothing I can do to make up for if human lives are lost here."
The captain instantly felt respect for Jasper at his words and stared at Jasper intensely before he spoke, "Don't worry, it's our job, that's our job, so we're going to do everything we can to save the workers inside."
Jasper took a deep breath and replied, "Then, I also ask the firefighters to be careful."
