My Ex-husband Begs Me Back novel Chapter 252

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

The construction site was already blocked. There were a lot of people gathering at the gate. Ayan and Camille entered the construction site through the back door of the garage because there was a live broadcast.

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

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

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

“I also think so. I checked the steel bar on the collapsed floor and found that it was not the third type of steel bar No. 22 we purchased, but the second 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 mixed in. If it’s every single one it means that all our endeavor has been wasted.” Mr. Moss also looked grim. He was to blame for what happened.

Camille was silent. She knew how horrible the situation was thoroughly.

Changing from the third category to the second category meant that the steel bars that can only be used to build ordinary residential houses were used on high-rise buildings, which was equivalent to walking barefoot 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 a long 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 pushed his 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 bottom of her heart.

She opened her mouth and whispered, “Ayan, for the accident, I…I’m sorry. I…”

“It’s none of your business. You have born your responsibility. It’s just an accident that no one wants to happen. Now that it happened, we have to find a way to minimize all the damage.”

Ayan comforted her in a low voice. He took Camille into his arms and hugged her vigorously. Then he touched her forehead and continued in a 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 any errors. 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 of the 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 the spot sustained minor injuries of varying degrees.

As for the man who died at the scene, an investigation was needed to determine 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 of the deceased reached. Now they are outside complaining to the media and 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 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 scene are not allowed to leave here for the time being. I will let them go after this matter is thoroughly cleared up. In addition, all the remuneration during this period will be paid, and we’ll offer them three meals a day for free. Keep an eye on the scene.’

“Alright. I’ll get them informed.”

Mr. Moss nodded and left.

Ayan turned around to find Camille.

After Ayan left, Camille went to the warehouse to check the unused materials. 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 on inside.”

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

Yessica told Preston. He grabbed the phone and said, “Cami, what’s going on there? The media indicated that there are many injured workers and even a worker died. Do you need Yessica and I to go in with you?”

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

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

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

Ayan came in as she finished. He saw Camille supporting her waist and asked anxiously, “What’s wrong?”

“I’ve gone over the materials that haven’t been used yet and there’s nothing wrong with them. There’s no chance to misuse the rebar normally. Ayan, do you think there was a mistake when I checked with Mr. Moss earlier?”

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