Chapter 483: Escape from Death

In just half an hour, the entire Zijin City area was illuminated red by the blazing flames.

From a distance, the entire building looked like a huge glowing column, and from up close, residents in the community could clearly see billowing black smoke coming out of windows on every floor of the building.

Residents of the community saw more than a dozen fire trucks parked in the community, but strangely, those fire trucks were parked in front of the building and had not been used for a long time. On the contrary, dozens of firefighters wearing fire masks continued to step on fire ladders and break into the building through the windows.

In the narrow escape passage filled with thick smoke where one could hardly see one's hand in front of one's face, dozens of bodyguards were fighting a desperate battle with those "firefighters".

Several bodyguards stood in front to clear the way for Jiang Yuan and the other three. Jiang Yuan's mother had already exhausted herself and was in a semi-fainted state. Jiang Yuan and Xu Hui supported her from both sides, and they climbed up the stairs with difficulty under the protection of the bodyguards.

The soaked quilt on Jiang Yuan's body was almost dried out by the scorching smoke. The concentration of toxic gases in the air was getting higher and higher. With every breath, her throat was irrigated by the scorching airflow.

Those "firefighters" who suddenly broke in from the window looked like ghosts. The bodyguard initially found that these people had a very clear goal, which was to kill Jiang Yuan, but later, their purpose changed, and it seemed that they wanted to capture Jiang Yuan.

Several bodyguards surrounded Jiang Yuan and the other three in almost 360 degrees, but they were soon dispersed by several "firefighters" who suddenly broke in. At the narrow corner of the corridor, Jiang Yuan was tightened by a huge force in a panic and was dragged to the window sill.

The choking smoke prevented her from opening her mouth to call for help. She used all her limbs and struggled to break free, but she couldn't.

Just when she was in despair, the person behind her suddenly let out a shrill cry, and the strength on Jiang Yuan suddenly loosened.

She looked up suddenly, and in the dim smoke, she saw Sister Hui holding a fruit knife tightly in her hand. The blood on the blade was particularly glaring in the gray smoke.

Sister Hui's knife stabbed directly into the man's neck, and the man fell backwards to the ground.

Jiang Yuan immediately took off the fire mask on the man's face and handed it to Xu Hui. Neither of them could open their mouths. The only mask was pushed back and forth between the two of them. Finally, Xu Hui snatched the mask and put it on Yang Xue.

Jiang Yuan had just caught her breath when someone suddenly grabbed her waist with force and then lifted her whole body onto the windowsill. Her hands were clinging to the windowsill tightly, but the huge force on her waist dragged her entire lower body out of the window more than ten stories high.

Those two arms almost drained all her strength, leaving her unable to even shout.

The arm on her waist dragged her down like an iron clamp, and her whole body seemed to be cut in half. The huge pain made her grit her teeth, but the two slender arms were still dragged down little by little away from the edge of the windowsill.

At a certain moment, Yin Dong's face suddenly appeared in front of her eyes. She opened her eyes wide but still dared not confirm it, until her waist was suddenly loosened, and then she heard a dull "bang" from downstairs, and the "firefighter" fell straight down from the fire ladder dozens of meters high.

Before she could turn around, she was picked up by a pair of large hands and fell into a familiar embrace.

When Jiang Yuan opened her eyes again, she was being carried to the top floor. On the huge platform, the propellers of more than a dozen helicopters were spinning at high speed, making a huge buzzing sound. Armed police jumped out of the helicopters and ran downstairs in a well-trained manner.

Jiang Yuan grabbed Yin Dong's clothes. Her throat felt so painful that she couldn't make a sound. She could only open her eyes wide and look at him.

Yin Dong strode towards the helicopter. His cold eyes softened the moment he looked at her. He lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry. Your mother has been sent to the helicopter. Xu Hui is here too. Let's go straight to the hospital."

Jiang Yuan nodded. When she saw the blood oozing from his forehead, she suddenly made a hoarse sound and asked, "How did you get hurt?"

He met her anxious gaze with his deep eyes and replied simply, "I was driving back in a hurry and hit the curb."

She stared at him without blinking, and after a few seconds, tears flowed from her eyes.

Yin Dong's heart ached so much that it almost deformed.
