Actually, according to company protocol, such a major incident should not be concealed from the company.
Chen Jiaming delayed reporting for one night, with his reasons based on two points:
First, the cause of the incident was still unclear, and the perpetrator had not been caught; further explanation was pending from the police investigation.
As for reporting to the company, he did not know where to start.
In Chen Jiaming's interpretation, without conclusive evidence, it could only be classified as an accidental emergency. There was no clear cause, and it was not part of any plan. As such, his role as the team leader did not directly link him to any responsibilities, and the relation to the company was also yet to be determined.
