Chapter 1311 No Way Out

This time, she finally received an answer to her calls. Toby’s low voice sounded from behind her. “I’m here.” Sonia hurriedly turned around. After seeing him walking over with a solemn face, she let out a breath of relief before hurriedly asking, “Where did you go? Do you know that there’s a fire outside?”

“I do.” He swept a glance at the gates of the factory behind her. The crimson flames had already spread to the small ventilation windows above the gates. Anyone would be able to notice it as long as they weren’t blind.

“I left earlier because I heard something, and I went to take a look. Then, I saw that someone had locked the back door and set a fire outside,” he replied with a dark look on his face. Alarmed by his words, she repeated, “What? Someone set the back door on fire as well?”

Toby nodded. Sonia became even more nervous. “Same here. I couldn’t open the entrance with the remote key at all.”

“Let’s go and look at the other exits.” Although Toby was furious that someone had started a fire, he was doing a better job keeping his composure than her. He took her hand in his before hurrying to look for other exits.

Without further ado, Sonia picked up her pace to match his. The main entrance and the back door were locked, so they could only pin their hopes on the fact that the other side entrances and some of the shorter windows hadn’t been locked as well.

They soon arrived at a side entrance, where the fire outside was even bigger. Here, they could hear the crackling of the burning embers and could even feel the scorching heat of the flames. As Sonia looked at the side entrance in front of her, a bad feeling instantly emerged in her heart.

The structure of the factory was essentially metal. And reasonably speaking, if the fire was only lit at the front gate and back door, it would not have spread here so quickly. Under normal circumstances, they were at the very center of the factory, and as the main and back entrances were at two opposite ends, the sound of the fire shouldn’t be heard from the side entrance.

However, they were able to hear the sound of crackling flames and feel the temperature of the fire clearly from the side entrance. Evidently, someone had poured gasoline and set a fire outside the side entrance. Hence, she now suspected that this side entrance had also been tampered with.
