Chapter 257: Clean Up

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Soon, the sound of the fire truck broke the silence of the Alexandria campus.

Caroline hid in the dark corner of the surveillance camera and watched as the fire was extinguished. Without waiting for the police to arrive, a group of guys in suits and leather shoes rushed into the planetarium.

At this moment, even Principal Brown, who had rushed over after receiving the news, and the police who had rushed over after hearing the news, were stopped outside the school gate.

It was obvious that the group of people who had just entered must have been specially hired by the Shwell family to clean up the things in the laboratory on the top floor and erase the traces of the experiment.

With the Shwell family here, this matter would never be seen again.

Caroline sighed and muttered, “I hope this is not the Shwell family’s idea.”

If the Shwell family really did such shady business behind her back, then her previous idea of forming an alliance with the Shwell family would probably be shattered.

Caroline, who had secretly done something big, took advantage of the chaos on campus to sneak home and sleep.

This farce lasted until dawn before it gradually subsided.

Jeffrey, who hadn’t slept the entire night, stood by the window with a gloomy face, staring at the rising sun.

“Have you cleaned up all the traces?” he asked the person on the phone.

‘Yes, all traces have been cleaned up, including the things that exploded and the corpses of the animals.”

Jeffrey’s tensed heart finally relaxed a little. “Have you found the cause of the fire?”

“We’ve already sent people to check the surveillance cameras. No one broke into that room at night. From the preliminary investigation of the accident at the scene, it should be a fire caused by a circuit problem.”

After hearing the other party’s words, Jeffrey thought of the complicated circuit problems in the laboratory and fell silent for a moment. If this was the cause of the fire, it was not too surprising.

It was originally an astronomical observation room and did not have the conditions to conduct experiments.

Jeffrey had spent a lot of time setting up the room. In order to support his multiple experiments, he had modified the circuit in the room many times, so it was a little messy.

This was also why Caroline had chosen to work in this area. No matter how talented Jeffrey was in biochemistry, he was still a young master. He only knew a little about electrical circuits, so there were many safety risks in the circuits he modified.

What Caroline did was just to add fuel to the fire and let those secret modifications explode in advance.

But Jeffrey was a cautious person. “Are you sure it was caused by a circuit problem?”

The other party’s tone was also very cautious. “From the traces at the scene, our preliminary judgment is so.”

This group of investigators was sent by his grandfather. Jeffrey believed in their professionalism, but for some reason, his intuition told him that things weren’t that simple.

But without any evidence. Teffrey couldn’t ask them to conduct a large-scale search. He could only order, “Check the entire observation room, from the door to the inside. Try to check every detail. Report to me immediately if you find anything unusual.”

The person on the other end of the phone hesitated for a moment, but still said frankly, “I’m sorry, Young Master Jeffrey, we can only try our best to accomplish this, but things might not go as smoothly as we expected.”

After all, this was Alexandria College, not Shwell’s territory. Although they could rush to the scene and clean up the things while the fire was still being put out, they didn’t have the right to lock down the place and stop everyone outside to investigate the scene.

In such a hurry, they were able to quickly clean up the scene and investigate the cause of the fire. Their speed was considered very fast.

Now that batches of people had entered the scene to investigate, there were probably many other traces left behind.

Jeffrey had also thought of this, so he didn’t make things difficult for them. “Do your best to investigate.”

After hanging up, a message popped up on his phone. It was from his grandfather’s personal assistant. [The old man is waiting for your call.]] Jeffrey’s breathing quickened.

Since those investigators had cleared the things, they must have more or less realized that he was doing some experimental research. His grandfather must have already received the news.

Jeffrey had placed his laboratory in the Astronomical Hall precisely because he had done all this behind his family’s back..
