Chapter 367 Hotel Fire

Chu Wanyuan said, "Don't be so pessimistic. It's uncertain whether Chu Ci will live to see the time when he will become the successor of the Huo family. Given the Huo family's situation, most people who want to be the successor will probably report to the King of Hell before they even get the job."

He Yunrui nodded after thinking about it: "What you said makes sense. Let's wait and see what happens."

Chu Ci and Feng Ting returned to the hotel after leaving the Huo family's birthday party.

The rooms were booked by Feng Ting, two presidential suites.

If Chu Ci decided on his own, he would definitely go to the dormitory provided by the Academy of Sciences, which is free and does not cost any money.

As soon as Chu Ci returned to the room, he changed into pajamas, went to bed, and started making salted fish with ice cream in his hand.

Feng Ting was on the phone: "Well, okay, have you found out? What kind of intersection did the old man of the Huo family and my sister have? Are you sure there was nothing? This is indeed my sister's first time in Beijing. I want a clear result within 24 hours."

After Feng Ting hung up the phone, his eyes were solemn, which was completely different from the lively and cheerful look he had in front of Chu Ci.

He must figure out what is going on and put an end to anything that may threaten his sister's safety.

This matter of the Huo family is obviously very serious.

There are rumors about the situation of the Huo family in the outside world. Those people are counting on the old man to make them the successor. Now that his sister suddenly shows up, that group of people must be furious and might do anything.

Feng Ting turned and entered Chu Ci's room. He saw her watching TV series, reading the news and gossiping. The serious and gloomy look on her face disappeared, replaced by a relaxed smile.

"Sister, are you watching this kind of meaningless drama again?"

"Why do I need to watch TV dramas for nutrition? If I need nutrition, I won't watch TV dramas." Chu Ci replied.

Feng Ting smiled fondly, "Sister is going to a charity auction tomorrow morning?"

"Yeah, I haven't been there for a while."

"Mom used to say that my sister is actually very kind, and she turned out to be right."

"No, I'm not kind." Chu Ci refused to admit that he had anything to do with "kindness".

She was just trying to survive, and was forced by life, so she couldn't be called kind at all.

Feng Ting grinned, "Okay, if you say it's not, then it's not. Then how about I accompany you to the charity auction tomorrow morning?"

"Didn't you say you came to the capital to take care of work?"

"Well... I do have work, but accompanying my sister is more important than work."

The brother and sister were chatting when suddenly the fire alarm in the hotel sounded.

The hurried voice instantly made the atmosphere tense.

The originally quiet hotel building suddenly became chaotic.

"What's going on?" Feng Ting immediately became alert.

Then he pulled Chu Ci up and went out, ran into the corridor, and saw thick smoke spreading in the corridor.

It seems that there is really a fire, and it is not far from their floor.

Feng Ting pulled Chu Ci and ran towards the stairs, only to see that the smoke was thickest there, with a faint red light visible.

The direction of the stairs is exactly where the fire is most serious.

I can't walk up the stairs, and I can't take the elevator either.

The presidential suite they stayed in was on the top floor of the entire hotel, so jumping off the building made it even more hopeless.

Chu Ci reacted calmly, and pulled Feng Ting back to the original room and closed the door.

"Sister, I'll contact a helicopter to pick us up now."

"It's too late. If you contact them now, it will take at least an hour for them to arrive. By then, the thick smoke caused by the fire will most likely prevent the helicopter from getting close." Chu Ci analyzed calmly.
