My Ex-husband Begs Me Back
Chapter 252: Chaos

Without hesitation, Ayan let Kian drive and rushed with Camille.

The construction site was already blocked. There were a lot of peoplegathering at the gate. Ayan and Camille entered the construction sitethrough the back door of the garage because there was a livebroadcast.

The workers were very terrified of what happened. Police weresearching for the injured people, who have not been identified.

The atmosphere was solemn. Camille looked at the collapse. “Howcould it happen?” she murmured.

Kian called Mr. Moss and Camille asked, “Why did the cave-in happenall of a sudden? It hasn't rained recently and everything is with thenormal rules. A collapse is impossible.”

“I also think so. I checked the steel bar on the collapsed floor and foundthat it was not the third type of steel bar No. 22 we purchased, but thesecond type of steel bar No. 22.”

His words made Camille's face grimmer.

Her eyes widened. “Are you sure?” she asked.

“I'm sure, but I don’t know exactly how much of the rebars was mixedin. If it's every single one it means that all our endeavor has beenwasted.” Mr. Moss also looked grim. He was to blame for whathappened.

Camille was silent. She knew how horrible the situation was thoroughly.Changing from the third category to the second category meant that thesteel bars that can only be used to build ordinary residential houseswere used on high-rise buildings, which was equivalent to walkingbarefoot on glass slag, even if there was nothing at the beginning,something was bound to happen in the end.

The atmosphere was extremely solemn and Camille stayed silent for along time.

Ayan glanced at her and said to Mr. Moss, “Take me to the scene.”

Mr. Moss nodded and followed Kian out first.

Ayan walked over to Camille, reached over her shoulder and pushedhis gentle hand on her shoulder, “I'm going to check the scene now.You stay here, alright?”

Camille looked pale. There was an indescribable feeling at the bottomof her heart.

She opened her mouth and whispered, “Ayan, for the accident, I...I'msorry. I..."

“It's none of your business. You have born your responsibility. It's justan accident that no one wants to happen. Now that it happened, wehave to replace a way to minimize all the damage.”

Ayan comforted her in a low voice. He took Camille into his arms andhugged her vigorously. Then he touched her forehead and continued ina slight voice, “I'll go to the scene to have a look. You wait here for me.Don't move around. Alright?”

Camille nodded but the solemnity on her face never disappeared.

It happened so suddenly that Camille's mind was in a mess.

She and Mr. Moss went through each batch of materials without anyerrors. Now they saw different pieces of steel bars from the cave-in,which was obviously not their fault.

So, what was it?

Camille's face stiffened as she thought about it.

Mr. Moss took Kian and Ayan to the site, where the police in charge ofthe matter was directing the search. He was acquainted with Ayan.They greeted each other and talked about the situation.

The trapped men were rescued. All but the first man who died on thespot sustained minor injuries of varying degrees.

As for the man who died at the scene, an investigation was needed todetermine the cause of his death.

Ayan asked, “Did you contact his family?”

“Yeah, they were contacting.” Mr. Moss replied.

At the moment, someone said, “Mr. Simpson, Mr. Moss, the family ofthe deceased reached. Now they are outside complaining to the mediaand asking the media to do justice.”

Ayan was here, and it's apparent that Mr. Moss were not in charge.Therefore, he looked at Ayan.

Ayan's face was cold. He looked at Kian, “Go to invite the family tocome in. Now that the accident has happened, what we can do is tomeet all their needs and conditions as much as possible. As for themedia and the public, Simpson Group will give a response.”

Kian nodded and went to deal with that.

Ayan talked to the police for a few more words. The police advisedAyan to start an investigation for such an accident. Only then couldSimpson Group get away with it.

This was what Ayan was thinking. Then he stepped aside and calledRex, “Where is Ray Ward? Let him come back to Hance City today todeal with the collapse for me.”

The collapse has already set off a huge storm on the Internet, so Rexknew a little about it. He said, “There is a lot of noise on the Internet.Isn't Simpson Group going to suppress it?"

“Now that everyone knows, does suppressing could erase people'smemories? If not, it will make them think that we have a guiltyconscience.

Since it has spread, everything would be handled open to the public.Rex didn’t ask any more and replied, “I'll contact Ray right now. He hasbeen at home recently and should be able to get back in time.”

“Not should, must.”

“Can you not be so overbearing?”

“Well, that's it. I have something to deal with.” Ayan said and hang up.Ray is Rex's younger brother. He is a well-known lawyer. He has neverlost a case and is the best at handling such disputes.

Ayan'’s phone had just hung up when Kian trotted in from outside.

Kian said, “Mr. Simpson, the on-site search video was posted on theinternet and all major TV and media are broadcasting. In addition, thefamily of the deceased is unwilling to deal with privately and hopes thatthe media and relevant departments will investigate clearly and give areasonable answer. The media also ask Simpson Group to give aresponse.”

Ayan nodded. “Well, top priority should be given to the deceased, nomatter what they demand, we'll be cooperative.”

The ten of the injured were taken to the hospital. Ayan chose thehospital where Dr. Ellis was working for just in case and arranged allwards of one floor with security guards and family visits in casesomething unexpected happen later.

However, the media refused to leave the gate, saying that they neededAyan to give a promise and guarantee to the victims’ family personally.Ayan wouldn't show up at this time certainly. The accident became well-known to all in less than an hour.

Ayan informed Mr. Moss immediately, “All the personnel on the sceneare not allowed to leave here for the time being. I will let them go afterthis matter is thoroughly cleared up. In addition, all the remunerationduring this period will be paid, and we'll offer them three meals a dayfor free. Keep an eye on the scene.’

“Alright. I'll get them informed.”

Mr. Moss nodded and left.

Ayan turned around to replace Camille.

After Ayan left, Camille went to the warehouse to check the unusedmaterials. She wanted to know if there was any problem.

Yessica called her again, “Miss. Armstrong, are you there yet? Mr.Walker and I can't get in at the door. We don’t know what's going oninside.”

“Well, I'm here. Please talk to Mr. Walker.”

Yessica told Preston. He grabbed the phone and said, “Cami, what'sgoing on there? The media indicated that there are many injuredworkers and even a worker died. Do you need Yessica and I to go inwith you?”

“I don't know the specific situation for the time being. You and Yessicacan go back. I'll contact you after I check the materials."

Camille didn’t say much because she didn't know much actually. All shecould do was to check the materials.

After her going through, Camille was sure that all the unused materialsin the warehouse were OK.

Ayan came in as she finished. He saw Camille supporting her waist andasked anxiously, “What's wrong?"

“I've gone over the materials that haven't been used yet and there'snothing wrong with them. There's no chance to misuse the rebarnormally. Ayan, do you think there was a mistake when I checked withMr. Moss earlier?”

Otherwise, it was the same batch of rebar, why could it be mixed withdiscordant specifications?
