"Oh no! There's a fire! Run!"
"Where is the fire? I see there's a fire warning on the top floor. Hurry up and call the other colleagues down, let's go together!"
The fire burned so fiercely that it even meandered up the building.
Originally the fire was just in the backyard, but the hotel was wrapped in a layer of flammable foam, which soon affected it.
Someone gasped and took two steps back in fear as he saw the flames almost reaching the roof.
"Hey, something's wrong..."
"We just wanted to burn down the backyard to teach them a lesson, but how come the upstairs is on fire too?"
Seeing that the situation was not good, the contractor turned around and was about to leave.
However, the brothers behind him were so scared that they couldn't move.
The lobby manager inside is organizing the evacuation of people in an orderly manner.
But just as he was about to leave, two figures suddenly flashed through his mind.
Chen Yuan and Gu Jiju are still upstairs!
"No, you can't leave!"
Several employees stopped at the door, just one step away from running out.
But when they heard the sound, they subconsciously stopped and looked at the manager blankly.
Someone was about to object when the manager said, "Boss Gu and Boss Shen haven't come down yet! If anything happens to Boss Gu, we'll all be in trouble! Hurry up, go up and save them!"
"The fire is so big, we'll die if we go in. Call 119!"
The noise grew louder and louder, but the fire was scarier than expected.
Several employees have turned back to bring Gu Jiju down.
But the beams on the second floor fell down because they were not strong enough.
With a loud bang, the group of people were completely blocked.
Whether climbing through the windows or going through the main door, the fire blocked the passage.
At that time, Gu Jiju rushed out of the room and happened to meet Shen Yuan in the corridor.
"How are you!"
Without waiting for Chen Yuan to greet her or express concern, Gu Jiju subconsciously put his arm around Chen Yuan's shoulders.
There was a violent movement, followed by a brute force that trapped him in Gu Jiju's arms.
It came together with a burning sensation around me.
"I'm fine, let's go!"
Gu Jiju subconsciously grabbed Chen Yuan's hand and looked up and down the stairs again.
The entire hotel is built with a hollow straight-through structure.
You can see what's happening on the top floor by looking up from the first floor.
The middle area was made into a transparent glass plank road, but at that time the fire was too severe and the plank road was no longer accessible.
"The fire started downstairs."
Gu Jiju was neither hurried nor slow, but he was very panicked in his heart.
But in front of Shen Yuan, Gu Jiju still pretended to be calm and took Shen Yuan gradually closer to the fire escape.
Fortunately, the stairs were accessible, and the two of them quickly got into the passage at lightning speed.
Upstairs, Wang Shan and another man just ran down.
"Mr. Gu!"
“Miss Shen!”
The four of them looked at each other, but at this moment they had no time to care about each other's situation.
The fire was still going on, and Gu Jiju could only take Chen Yuan and escape as quickly as possible.
Fortunately, only the outer layer was burning, and the situation on the first floor was quickly dealt with by the lobby manager.
When Gu Jiju and his companions ran to the third floor, the manager sent someone up to greet them.
The call of 119 also sounded outside, alarming all the workers in the backyard.
"What should we do now? The fire department is here..."
"Run! What else can you do? It will be terrible if you get caught!"
In the darkness, a group of people were hidden.
Gu Jiju had just escaped with Chen Yuan.
Wang Shan and the other man behind him were panting and standing at the door of the hotel with Gu Jiju.
Looking up, the entire hotel was shrouded in smoke.
Fortunately, the firefighters arrived in time and prevented the fire from spreading.
Just as Gu Jiju was repairing the room, the firefighters caught the lobby manager and questioned him.
Gu Jiju pricked up his ears and continued to observe the conversation between the two.
"Are there any people inside who haven't come out yet?"
"No more, they're all here."
Looking around, apart from Gu Jiju and his group, there were only a few staff members in groups of three or four.
There are less than ten people in total.
There are only a few people in such a big hotel. The firefighters would never believe it.
"This is a hotel!"
The man pointed to the illuminated sign and reminded, "Open 24 hours a day. Are you sure there are only this many staff members? Also, where are the customers? There are 30 floors in total, and only four customers?"
Gu Jiju glanced sideways, and the manager seemed to still feel his burning gaze.
While Gu Jiju was still looking away, the manager could only reply tremblingly:
"The owner of this hotel ran away. I just found someone to take over a few days ago. There are no guests yet..."
It turns out that the only ones who were taken advantage of were Gu Jiju and Shen Yuan.
The woman frowned, thinking the situation was really strange. She couldn't help but complain, "How did you find this hotel?"
Gu Jiju was also puzzled.
We had a good conversation before coming here, and they said this place is a good place for Feng Shui.
The previous owner gave up this building because he went abroad to study.
Before this, Gu Jiju had also done research and did not find any unexpected situations or reserved projects waiting for him to deal with.
Why is it that when we conduct on-site surveys, we see shoddy construction everywhere?
"Don't worry, I will investigate the situation thoroughly. If I find out there's any insider information behind this hotel, I will definitely not cooperate and I won't let you suffer any losses."
Chen Yuan didn't say anything, just sat outside in a daze, watching the fire in the entire building being put out.
