A man resentful of the rejection of his confession to a female colleague actually set fire to his colleague's car with a lighter, causing damage to the vehicle and a fire hazard. The shocking incident took place last Friday night in the parking lot of a hotel located in the heart of the city.
According to eyewitnesses, the man, surnamed Li, is 28 years old and is a waiter at the hotel. A 25-year-old female colleague surnamed Wang is a receptionist at the hotel. The two usually have a normal working relationship, but Li has a passion for Wang, and has shown her favors and gifts many times, hoping to develop a relationship. However, Wang was not interested in Li and rejected his pursuit.
On the night of the incident, both of them worked late shifts and walked to the parking lot separately after work. Li took the opportunity to confess to Wang again, but Wang resolutely refused and said that he did not want to have any contact with him again. Li was very angry when he heard this, and felt that his dignity had been insulted, so he took out the lighter he was carrying, rushed to Wang's vehicle, and lit the fuel tank port at the front of the car. Wang was horrified to see his car engulfed in flames, and immediately shouted for help and called the police.
Fortunately, fire extinguishers and sprinkler systems were installed in the parking lot, and the fire was quickly brought under control without causing further damage. The police and firefighters also quickly arrived at the scene, subdued Li and took him away, and interrogated him. Li confessed to his actions, saying that he was impulsive and did not think of the consequences. He also said that he really liked Wang, and he just hoped to get a response from her, but he didn't expect her to do this to himself.
At present, Li has been criminally detained by the police in accordance with the law, and is suspected of intentionally destroying property and endangering public safety. Wang's vehicle has been towed away and is awaiting compensation from the insurance company. Wang said that he was very frightened and angry about Li's behavior and hoped that he could get the punishment he deserved. She also said that she will be more careful in the future and not easily provoke some abnormal people.
This incident has attracted widespread attention from the society, and many netizens have left messages condemning Li's behavior, believing that he is an extreme pervert who does not know how to respect other people's feelings and does not know what love is. Some netizens also expressed sympathy for Wang, feeling that she was an innocent victim and hoped that she could restore her psychological and life peace as soon as possible. Some netizens also called for the society to strengthen the attention and education of mental health to prevent similar tragedies from happening again.
