A financial crisis swept through, forcing Yan Mo to return home for a blind date. What? Over thirty and still unmarried? Is he a complete straight man? A fake marriage to fool grandpa? Is that some...
Zhenghong Group in the city center.
On the 32nd floor, a morning meeting had just ended. Si Ze sat in the main seat, rubbing his temples tiredly.
"Didn't sleep well?" Xun Jiage sorted out the documents on the desk, came to Si Ze's side, and said casually: "No wonder, with a beautiful woman beside you!"
Although Si Ze did not bring Yan Mo back to the top floor last night, he could not resist Xun Jiage's strong imagination. Moreover, Gu Zhengshan later received a call from Si Ze, who went downstairs and took away the woman Gu Zhengshan had been thinking about.
Without thinking, he knew that they were all "seduced by love". He was not mistaken. The person he saw was Yan Mo, and he must have been taken away by Si Ze.
Everyone around him had a partner, and he began to envy them.
Si Ze stopped what he was doing, glanced at Xun Jiage, stood up and left the meeting room.
Although what Xun Jiage said was true and he was very happy holding the little girl last night, he was also uncomfortable and did not sleep all night.
"Boss Si, wait for me." Xun Jiage followed closely behind, and the two went to the top floor.
"Hey, hey, hey, there's a fire in the old town, did you know?"
"Is it true? Aren't the houses in the old town always damp? How could they suddenly catch fire?"
"That's right! Didn't it rain a few days ago? There shouldn't be a fire."
"They say it was set on fire. It seems a young couple broke up and the whole house was filled with gasoline."
"No?"
"It was a really big fire."
“What a sin!”
“…”
Coming out of the conference room, Si Ze and Xun Jiage passed by the staff office, and the bustling discussions in the tea room came out.
Si Ze suddenly stopped and listened attentively to the discussion inside.
"you do not say!"
"Someone saw two very beautiful girls go in this morning. What a pity."
…
Xun Jiage frowned.
These people are really something. They can have a good discussion at any other time, but they have to interrupt at this point. They are so bold.
Xun Jiage watched Si Ze's expression gradually become ugly, and hurriedly said, "Boss Si, I'll go and scold them right away." After that, he walked past Si Ze and went to the tea room.
Hearing the voices, Xun Jiage probably knew who those people were. They had a good relationship with him. It would be best if he could save them. If he couldn't, it wouldn't be unfair. After all, being caught by the president was like walking into a gun.
"Wait." Si Ze grabbed it and muttered in his heart: "Old town?"
Suddenly.
The conversation with Yan Mo this morning came to mind:
"Momo, where does Zhou Fengwei live?" Si Ze asked.
"I heard from Gong Ling that he lives in the old city."
Two girls, old town?
Si Ze's expression suddenly changed, and he said anxiously, "Let's go to the old city." As he said that, he immediately let go of Xun Jiage, turned around, and walked quickly towards the president's exclusive elevator.
"Boss Si, what's wrong?" Xun Jiage followed closely behind him and asked in confusion.
Si Ze stood anxiously at the elevator door and instructed Xun Jiage: "Contact Gu Zhengshan and ask him to come to the old city." After that, he changed direction and quickly walked towards the stairs.
Realizing that something might have really happened, Xun Jiage put away his cynical smile, took out his cell phone, and immediately contacted Gu Zhengshan.
…
In the old city, flames shot up into the sky, dyeing it red. Everyone was in a panic and ran out. Some were carrying buckets, some were holding basins, and some were moving water pipes, trying to use water to stop the raging fire.
Deep in the alley, inside Zhou Fengwei's house, a raging fire was burning. White smoke filled the entire house. The thin air was getting less and less, choking people to the point of tears and difficulty breathing.
There was also Zhou Fengwei's almost crazy laughter.
"Ahem... Zhou Fengwei, is it worth it? You are only eighteen or nineteen years old this year, and you still have a long life to live. What is there that you can't get out of?" Yan Mo kept observing the environment in the room with his eyes and advised kindly.
"Yan Mo, shut up. Ling, break up with me. You have made great contributions. It is not unfair for you to die here. In your next life, remember other people's affairs and stay out of it." Zhou Fengwei stopped laughing and suddenly stared at Yan Mi with a resentful look, roaring heartbreakingly.
Gong Ling stepped forward, pushed Zhou Fengwei aside, stood in front of Yan Mo, and shouted:
"This is none of Momo's business, ahem, just let her go."
Seeing that Zhou Fengwei was not convinced, the fire grew bigger and bigger, and the beams, wooden beds, and furniture all began to burn.
In this desperate situation, every second counts for survival. Yan Mo decisively gave up on the excuse and tore off a piece of cloth from the corner of the bed. He ran into the bathroom, wet it, and covered his mouth and nose with it. He then returned to the living room, handed a piece to Gong Ling, and said hurriedly:
"Stop talking nonsense with him, let's go quickly, otherwise we really won't be able to leave."
"Okay." Gong Ling looked deeply at Zhou Fengwei, who was fearless, and sighed, "Xiaowei, you take care of yourself!" After that, she ran to the door, pressed the door handle lock in a panic, trying to open it, but it was in vain, so she turned and started looking for other places.
Yan Mo trotted over to Gong Ling, grabbed her arm, and quickly said, "Ahem, stop looking."
"bump."
A piece of door frame fell down, and Yan Mo reacted quickly, pushing Gong Ling away with a palm. Due to the interaction of gravity, she also fell to the ground and accidentally scratched her wrist.
Saving his life was the most important thing. He could not care about his injuries now. Yan Mo quickly got up and stumbled to Gong Ling's side. He extended his hand to help her and said worriedly:
"How about it?"
"It's okay." Gong Ling shook her head, grabbed Yan Mo's arm and stood up.
"That's good."
As he said that, regardless of the obstacles, Yan Mo took Gong Ling, narrowly avoided the threat, and ran towards the room.
As they were about to step into the threshold, Zhou Fengwei followed them and suddenly reached out, grabbing Gong Ling with a look of confusion and pain in his eyes.
He didn't want to let her go. She was the only light in his life. Without her, how would he live in the future? He would still be alone and cold.
Therefore, he would rather sleep with her for a long time than let her leave.
"Xiaowei..." Gong Ling shouted unwillingly.
"Ling, you can't leave. You really can't leave. I will take you away from this filthy place and take you to a place where it's just the two of us."
Gong Ling shook her arms vigorously, but Zhou Fengwei held her hands and did not struggle to break free. Gong Ling said some words of comfort, but Zhou Fengwei remained indifferent.
Gong Ling's remaining hope was completely extinguished as she looked away. She let go of Yan Mo's hand and said with tears and laughter:
"Momo, if you can escape, then do it! Don't worry about me." Gong Ling looked up at the sunlight outside the window, her eyes filled with nostalgia and deep reluctance. She sighed, "I'm going to hate it when this method ends!"
"Don't give up." Yan Mo encouraged.
"Mo Mo, the wheel of fate turns. Debts owed must be repaid, and you can't blame others." Gong Ling smiled bitterly and said, "Let go! I can't let you get involved."
"Stop talking nonsense, we will be fine." Yan Mo did not let go, but held it tighter and said firmly: "Si Ze will come to save us."
