Chapter 267 It's You! You're Back!
Not long after, two police officers came and persuaded the bald-headed men who were blowing hooligans and harassing the girl with their eyes to leave.
The business of "Yuejirong" was able to continue.
As a result, before leaving get off work, Sun Xi actually said that he had to take a leave tomorrow because of something else.
Ye Ying couldn't help but ask, "Sun Xi, you ask for leave so frequently. Are you in trouble? Do you need help?"
Sun Xi shook his head. "No, I just have some things to deal with at home and can't leave, so, so..."
This girl's worries are probably written all over her face, but she still insists that nothing is wrong!
Ye Ying could only sigh helplessly: "Okay! Then you should finish it as soon as possible!"
For the next two days, Ye Ying was alone in the store again!
Those bald guys really kept their word and went to the hotel next door to report for two consecutive days.
Ye Ying was so angry that she was about to close the store and go to the police station, but one of the bald guys started fighting with a passerby.
The reason was that the bald guy whistled at the passerby, winked at her and flirted with her!
The passerby couldn't stand it any longer and started fighting with the bald man. Several of them fought until their heads were bleeding, and the couple in the hotel were scared half to death.
Soon people from the police station came and took away the people involved.
As the incident took place right in front of the hotel, Xu Yang and his wife were also interrogated and had their statements taken. After they came back, they immediately closed the store and said they would be closed for a few days.
Now Ye Ying finally had some peace and quiet, without those noisy bald heads making noise.
Business has been affected in the past two days, so she deliberately extended the business hours today.
Even when Mao Wei across the street closed her shop, she was still open.
Another hour passed, and Ye Ying saw that no one would come to buy anything anymore, so she prepared to pack up and close the shop.
When I was slowly moving the plastic sandals at the door to the store, I turned around and found that the door could not be opened. I was shocked to find that the store door seemed to be locked from the outside!
Ye Ying was startled and pulled violently again.
There was still no response from the store!
Ye Ying's heart skipped a beat, and she panicked. She raised her voice and said, "Who's outside?! Open the door quickly!"
There was no movement outside the door, as if no one was there.
Who is behind this?
Ye Ying was anxious, and began to use her hands and feet to create a loud noise, trying to attract the attention of passers-by, and shouted: "Help! Someone is locked in!"
But still no one cares about her!
Is there no one passing by outside?
The window was made of glass, and Ye Ying ran over quickly.
It would have been a good idea if I hadn't looked at it, but when I did, I suddenly discovered that a flame was slowly rising from the pile of plastic sandals at the door that had not yet been put away.
In an instant, a pungent smell came.
Setting fire and committing crimes, what kind of hatred or grudge is this?
In the blink of an eye, the flame was already half a person's height.
The food was overcooked so quickly that Ye Ying broke out in a cold sweat and banged on the door even more frantically!
If no one discovers the situation here, she will be burned to death in there.
In desperation, Ye Ying began to look for a sharp weapon in the store, preparing to break the glass window and jump out.
But after searching for a long time, she only found a pair of pliers and a screwdriver, which she used to install the shelves.
The only thing she could do now was to give it a try. Ye Ying picked up the pliers and knocked hard on the glass window.
But it was too small. After hitting it more than ten times, only a small hole was broken in the glass window.
The fire has begun to spread rapidly upwards, and now it's like a ghost town outside, with no one alive.
Ye Ying swung the pliers even harder.
After a while, a passerby finally noticed something strange and ran over in a hurry.
A woman pushed the door a few times and then shouted, "Girl, do you have a key? I was wondering why the door won't open. It must be locked from the outside!"
Ye Ying shook her head. The door was locked from the outside. How could she have the key?
"How about you take it and try it?" Ye Ying threw the key out of the small hole.
After a moment, the elder sister said hurriedly: "No, girl, it can't be opened. Let me find someone to put out the fire first?"
Then he ran away.
Ye Ying actually wanted her elder sister to find something to help her break the window...but she ran so fast that she disappeared in a flash.
Helplessly, watching the fire outside getting bigger and bigger, Ye Ying turned around and tried her best to dismantle the shelves, trying to detach the two legs from them.
At times like this you can only rely on yourself. Relying solely on others is unreliable!
Before the legs of the rack could be removed, Ye Ying became increasingly unable to bear the thick smoke and her consciousness began to blur.
Finally, one of the shelf legs was removed!
She quickly took out a towel, wet it with water, covered her nose with it, and then started smashing the window.
But the speed of breaking the window could not match the speed of the rising flames, and Ye Ying was smoked and felt dizzy.
In the firelight, she seemed to hear someone calling her name.
"Ye Ying!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Ye Ying's spirits were lifted.
"Move away."
She moved to the side, but before she could react, the glass splashed in all directions and more than half of the window was shattered.
Immediately, a sturdy figure passed through the firelight and jumped in from the window nimbly.
"Ye Ying! What's wrong with you?"
Ye Ying's still somewhat dizzy mind suddenly became much clearer. She saw the face of the person in front of her clearly and exclaimed, "Ji Lianqi, it's you! You're back!?"
Ji Lianqi frowned deeply and bent his waist: "Come on, hold tight."
Ye Ying obediently lay on his back, and then gradually lost consciousness again.
Soon, she began to hear low voices.
"Ye Ying, wake up quickly."
Ye Ying quickly opened her eyes and found that she was safely outside. A passerby lady gathered a lot of people to help put out the fire.
She came to her senses instantly and said to Ji Lianqi, who looked worried, "Let's go and help put out the fire first!"
Ji Lianqi looked at Ye Ying, who had not yet recovered from her panic, with concern, "How do you feel now?"
Ye Ying shook her head: "I'm fine."
Ji Lianqi's heart tightened, and he held Ye Ying's hand tightly: "Sorry! I'm late again."
Ye Ying looked at the fire that had not been completely extinguished: "Let's not talk about it for now, let's go and help put out the fire together!"
Realizing that now was not the time to talk about this, Ji Lianqi nodded and walked over first.
The fire had spread to the door, and more than half of the wooden sign had been burned, and it looked like it would fall down at any time.
Ye Ying was worried that the door would fall down and hit someone, so she quickly asked everyone to move to the side.
Looking at Ji Lianqi who was trying hard to put out the fire, Ye Ying felt inexplicably relieved.
Then, the police came and asked Ye Ying some questions and took notes.
Thanks to everyone's efforts, the fire was put out soon.
Fortunately, the fire did not spread inside and the property was not affected.
After putting out the fire, Ye Ying gave some "thank you money" to everyone who came to help.
Without their help, she would have had a rough day.
However, this glass window is broken and we need to find someone to install a new one tomorrow.
We have to find a locksmith to open the lock on the outside of the door.
Looking at the smashed window, Ye Ying frowned.
If I leave like this, what if someone comes to steal at night?
With no other choice, she had to get some cardboard and stick it on top temporarily.
This is pure self-deception. If the thieves come, we will not be able to stop them at all.
By the time He Ji Lianqi finished all this, it was already very late.
The two looked at each other deeply, knowing that this was not the place to talk, and prepared to return to the compound and deal with it tomorrow.
At this moment, the half-burned door loosened and fell down unexpectedly.
Ji Lianqi was quick-witted and quickly protected Ye Ying.
After Ye Ying screamed in surprise, she heard a muffled groan in her ears.
