Chapter 780 Will You Be Arrested?

Bianca hurriedly tied up her messy hair and hurriedly left the site, intending to rush to T

Corporation. Her eyes were red and swollen, while her black suit was stained with sand, mud, and

debris.

However, Bianca, who had always been obsessed with cleanliness, could not be bothered to clean

herself up now. She was hoping to get a ride to T Corporation. The weather in September was

unpredictable as it changed as it pleased. The sun was still shining a moment ago, but the wind

suddenly turned violent and stormy clouds followed.

The thunder rumbled, and torrential rain pattered against the windows. The rain fell ceaselessly, and

the dark sky seemed like it was going to burst at any second.

The wind carried the rain while the rain urged the wind like they were chasing one another in a

competition. The city was covered by a misty curtain of rain. The weather was already terrible, and

because of the accident at The Galleria, there was heavy traffic on the road. It made it extremely

difficult for anyone to get a taxi.

Bianca walked a long distance in the rain and waited for nearly an hour before she managed to hail

an empty taxi.

She hurriedly got into the car, her entire body soaking wet.

The taxi driver was a chubby middle-aged man. He was tanned and chatty.

The driver looked at Bianca's messy appearance and then at the congestion on the road. He could

not help but say, “Usually, it's quite easy to get a taxi around here, but today, it's raining heavily and

the nearby The Galleria collapsed... It's terrible! The Galleria has been in A City for as long as I can

remember, how could something happen so suddenly? More than a hundred people have lost their

lives in a blink of an eye. The black-hearted developer is the one to blame! They must've cut corners

and caused the building to collapse. They should be fined until they go bankrupt! I hope that they

have it coming for them, so they know how it feels to lose their families!"

Bianca knew that the driver was only standing up for the victims, so she kept quiet.

Her expression seemed indifferent, but her hands that were placed on her knees

trembled uncontrollably. Even the palms of her hands were sweating

She pressed on her tightly knitted eyebrows, feeling very uncomfortable.

If the collapse of The Galleria was not handled properly, it would be a fatal blow to T

Corporation!

T Corporation.

Despite the roaring thunder and violent storm outside, there was still a swarm of people

surrounding T Corporation.

Some of them were holding umbrellas to keep themselves dry, but some of the youths were

standing directly under the rainstorm, allowing the rain to fall on their bodies.

They were drenched and looked pitiful.

The crowd was holding huge banners and filled with outrage! They were demanding justice from T

Corporation!

"T Corporation developed low-quality real estate! The Galleria collapsed and hundreds of people

died. We're weeping and praying for the government to stand up for the people!" "They cut corners

to save costs on construction works, making weak walls. Now, they're pushing the responsibility. T

Corporation, you're unscrupulous! Get out of A City!"

"We strongly resist T Corporation who blatantly disregard human life. We must defend our rights to

comfort the souls of the dead!"

Those big white banners had bright red fonts on them, reminding Bianca of blood. It made anyone

who saw them uncomfortable.

Those who were gathered for the protest included college students, elites in suits and leather shoes,

old people with gray hair, and even unkempt vagrants...

It was such a weird combination of people. Although it seemed like they were seeking justice for the

victims of The Galleria, Bianca inexplicably felt that something was weird with the scene even

though she had just gotten out of the car.

Something felt off.

All the security guards of T Corporation had been dispatched, and countless police officers were

maintaining order. All of a sudden, the police and the people were confronting each other. The

conflict grew more and more intense.

Among them were several people who reacted extremely. They threw rotten eggs and vegetables at

the police and security guards. One of the men who led the protest held a big loudspeaker,

shouting into it, "Look, everyone, T Corporation's reckless behavior has led to the loss of beloved

family members but the police are still protecting T Corporation! They're birds of a feather,

so will we avenge the compatriots who were sacrificed in this accident? "Comrades, have you

forgotten the incident of the poor mother and son who died in the fire in the high-end community

“Greenview Regalia’ developed by T Corporation three years ago? We thought that after such a

major accident, the executives of T Corporation would've learned their lesson and serve the people

well. However, they've deceived us once again. We can no longer sit still! We have to fight for those

we've lost and get justice for them. Get them—"The stormy weather had everyone in a bad mood,

and with the accident that had happened, many people were emotional. Through the instigation of

the leaders, the masses, especially those who lost their relatives in the accident, rushed to T

Corporation like a bull seeing red!

The glass revolving door of T Corporation was almost smashed, and several highlevel officials in

charge of public relations were injured by the crowd who went out of control. For a moment, the

situation was completely wild.

Bianca was shocked. She was smart enough to know that it was not a good idea to rush into the

crowd. If she did, her petite body would be taken down within seconds and it would be fruitless.

Hence, she took a secret passage.

This passage was set up to protect the privacy and safety of the senior management. Only the

senior executives above the vice president level were qualified to know of its existence. The elevator

in this passage led directly to the CEO's office.

CEO's office.

As soon as Bianca opened the door, she saw Luke's tall figure standing in front of the huge French

windows. He was staring at the mayhem outside. His figure appeared exceptionally lonely, and at

the same time, there was forbearance.

Countless cigarette butts had been thrown to the floor behind him, and there was still a lit cigarette

in his hand.

Bianca empathized with him. She hugged him from behind and gently called out his name, "Luke..."

Luke's body stiffened slightly before he turned around, embracing her into his arms. Luke's

magnetic voice was extremely hoarse as he asked, "Why are you here?"

Bianca clung to his body to warm herself up. "Of course, I have to be here for this. Why didn't you

tell me?"

Luke sighed and answered, "You're still sick. You don't need to worry about this kind of thing, I'll

take care of it. Silly, why did you come here without bringing an umbrella? What if your illness

worsens?"

In this high-stress situation, his priority was still her health... Bianca's long eyelashes trembled as she

firmly gripped his sleeve. Tears quietly slipped out as she uttered, "I... I just went to the collapsed

site of The Galleria. It was a mess and the scene was tragic... Luke, was there a problem with the

structure? If... If it is because of a problem on our end, will T Corporation face bankruptcy? Will... you

be arrested?"
