Chapter 178: Collapse
Xie Jingyan stood on the bustling street.
It was now noon, and people in the workplace had all started eating dinner.
The street had also become crowded.
A roaring motorcycle stopped in front of him.
Wei Jin lifted his helmet, his expression serious: “Get on!”
Xie Jingyan didn’t hesitate and sat in the back seat. He didn’t even ask why Wei Jin was here; he only worried in his heart about Jiang Ning and whether she was safe.
“Go to the unfinished building on Binyuan Road; Jiang Ning is there.” Xie Jingyan finished speaking.
Wei Jin put his helmet back on and let out a light breath: “Alright, hold on tight; I will definitely rescue Jiang Ning!”
The motorcycle weaved freely through the crowded traffic.
Xie Jingyan’s black hair was blown up, revealing his smooth forehead. His face was grave as he finally reacted and asked amid the whistling wind: “Why are you here? I heard you went to participate in the talent show; how did you end up in Jin Cheng?”
“Tch, even participating in the show gives you two days off, right? I originally wanted to come back to find Jiang Ning and go to her school, but the people in her class told me she went to the hospital. At the hospital, I ran into Jiang Yan, and Jiang Yan said she went to the police station. I had just arrived at the entrance when I heard about this. Seeing you so anxious, I reluctantly agreed to take you there.” Wei Jin’s voice scattered in the wind.
Xie Jingyan didn’t listen carefully and could barely hear it.
Hearing this, he sneered and only replied: “Go find someone who truly cares about you; don’t keep thinking about mine.”
Wei Jin was somewhat displeased: “You two are together?”
Xie Jingyan replied: “Yeah, she can’t live without me.”
Wei Jin was full of question marks: “Why don’t I believe that? Jiang Ning isn’t as enthusiastic as you make her out to be. I’ve figured out a bit; she probably has some feelings for you, but it’s not like she’s head over heels. Don’t think just because you’re handsome you can control a little girl; Jiang Ning isn’t love brain!”
Xie Jingyan: “……”
This kid knows Jiang Ning so well.
His voice remained mocking: “Don’t believe it then; Jiang Ning just likes me.”
Wei Jin snorted lightly: “Anyway, I’m not giving up.”
Xie Jingyan was speechless.
This guy is really annoying.
……
At this time
At the unfinished building.
The building had collapsed due to the explosion. Stones from the roof had rolled down, blocking the path. Flames shot into the sky, and there was only a narrow gap wide enough for one person to enter.
Su Wanyuan had waited a long time for Gu Lanli to bring Jiang Ning.
This kidnapping was planned by her and Huo Chengxuan together.
The purpose was to make Jiang Ning completely disappear from Jin Cheng.
But they hadn’t come according to the original plan.
So Su Wanyuan used positioning to find Gu Lanli’s location.
She hadn’t expected that, besides their group, another group had gotten to Jiang Ning first and taken her away.
When she arrived at the destination, she only saw blood seeping from Gu Lanli’s chest as he lay on the ground, unknown if dead or alive.
Su Wanyuan was frightened pale. Flames licked around, and even though she was about five meters from the fire, she still felt the heat rushing at her face.
She laboriously moved Gu Lanli, shaking him anxiously: “Lanli, Lanli! Are you okay?”
Her trembling hand dialed 120 and called two people disguised as kidnappers to move Gu Lanli somewhere else.
However, the next second, Gu Lanli awakened.
He struggled to grasp Su Wanyuan’s hand. His lips were deathly pale, his eyes half-open weakly, and his lips moved: “Jiang, Jiang Ning…… inside, save, save her……”
The jealousy in Su Wanyuan’s heart was about to burst out of her chest.
She had been kidnapped by the kidnappers.
And he was still thinking about Jiang Ning’s safety.
Was that bitch that important?
Su Wanyuan looked at the raging fire, only hoping Jiang Ning would burn to death inside and not come out to bother her eyes anymore.
She soothingly patted Gu Lanli’s hand: “Lanli, before worrying about others, check your own injuries first. I’ll take you to the hospital; Jiang Ning is beyond saving.”
Gu Lanli’s spirit was weak, and he no longer had the strength to speak.
Su Wanyuan half-held him: “The fire here is too big; let’s leave this place first?”
Gu Lanli really hurt too much.
His eyes reflected the firelight, and Jiang Ning’s vivid face seemed to emerge before him, only to be swallowed by the flames the next instant.
With such a big fire and severe collapse, Jiang Ning seemed beyond saving……
A tear slid from the corner of his eye. His lips moved, leaving one word: “Okay……”
With Su Wanyuan’s help.
Gu Lanli soon left this place of trouble and was sent to the hospital.
Arriving at the same time as Xie Jingyan and Wei Jin were police and firefighters.
They had received a report that a big fire had broken out here.
They just hadn’t expected it to be this serious.
The raging flames shot higher than people, inspiring fear.
But fortunately, this was an unfinished building, so there probably weren’t people wandering around.
And the next instant, Xie Jingyan disregarded everything and rushed toward the sea of fire.
Wei Jin hurriedly pulled him back. Even three meters from the flames, he was sweating from the heat, and his skin stung slightly.
“With such a big fire, where are you going?”
Xie Jingyan was forced to stop: “I need to find her.”
Wei Jin looked at the big fire and hesitated: “The search and rescue team is already here. Wait until the fire dies down a bit, then we’ll go in……”
Before he finished speaking, Xie Jingyan pushed him away.
Wearing a trench coat, he charged straight into the sea of fire.
Exclamations rose one after another around him.
No matter how many people tried, they couldn’t stop Xie Jingyan’s steps.
Wei Jin watched Xie Jingyan disappear into the fire and suddenly realized that his own like paled in comparison to Xie Jingyan’s like.
He lowered his head self-mockingly, looking at his toes: “It seems…… I lost.”
The surrounding firefighters rushed over, all panicking: “How did he just rush in? Is there someone inside?”
Wei Jin shook his head, then nodded: “Yes…… someone, please save them……”
The firefighters who had just been relieved because it was a desolate unfinished building instantly changed their facial expressions.
They looked at the big fire with some worry but still set up hoses and began extinguishing it.
After Xie Jingyan entered, he threw the burning trench coat on the ground. The fire outside was fierce, but inside it was surprisingly okay. Besides some fragmented stone pillars and walls, there wasn’t much fire inside, perhaps because it was a concrete building.
Xie Jingyan searched everywhere, shouting loudly: “Jiang Ning! Jiang Ning, can you hear me? Where are you? Jiang Ning!”
Because he was anxious, sweat beaded on his forehead from the heat.
Hearing the shouts, Jiang Ning finally seemed to come back to her senses.
She sat in the corner, looking at the ruins, still not recovered from the earlier explosion.
She looked down at her intact hands; she was fine?
She remembered that at the critical moment, Little Honey had appeared.
A pale yellow light ball had enveloped her, then the shockwave made her lose consciousness.
When she woke up, she heard Xie Jingyan calling, and she was somehow sitting in the corner.
She had survived such a serious explosion unscathed……
Jiang Ning stood up and ran toward Xie Jingyan: “Xie Jingyan, I’m here!”
She tried to hug him from behind but found herself passing straight through his body……
