The carriage arrived at Rouge Lane, where the entire area was no longer as it had been, a scene of smoky devastation in the aftermath of a fire.

The authorities had already mobilized to fight the fire and rescue people, with Ling Hua's Hidden Guard assisting on the side, settling the civilians.

The steward of Rouge Building was nowhere to be found, his whereabouts unknown; a junior steward had his face burned, and the rest of the people inside Rouge Building were more or less injured to varying degrees. However, thanks to the timely rescue by the Hidden Guard, there were no fatalities.

The junior steward was brought to the front of Ling Hua's carriage.

Ling Hua sized up the junior steward and asked him, "Where is the steward of Rouge Building? Where has he gone?"

The junior steward shook his head mournfully, "Haven't seen him since early this morning."

"How did Rouge Building catch fire?"
