Only after retreating more than ten meters away in the corridor could everyone finally catch their breath.
But then, Liu Rulan's gaze swept quickly over the people around her, and then, coughing, she gritted her teeth and shouted, "Xiao! He!"
That brat, he never lets anyone have a moment's peace!

When Cheng Bei broke into the room, visibility was still acceptable; it hadn't been completely engulfed by thick smoke, and he could barely observe the situation:
There were obvious signs of a struggle in the living room. The sofa next to it was the main point of origin of the fire. The cause of the fire is currently unknown. However, its burning ignited the wallpaper and curtains at the window, causing the fire to get out of control and spread to most of the living room. Other items with low ignition points are now emitting white smoke due to the high temperature and may spontaneously combust at any time.
Cheng Bei's expression grew increasingly grave. He seemed to see something out of the corner of his eye; he looked down at the bloodstains on the ground, then quickly lifted his foot and rushed towards the trail of blood—
A man lay in a pool of blood, his fate unknown!
Cheng Bei paused, a flicker of doubt in his eyes. He quickly crouched down and checked the other person's pulse—it was very weak, but thankfully the person was still alive!
Who is this person? Where did he come from? Where did the real target go? What happened at the scene?
But there's no time to think about these issues now; we need to get the person out of here first!
"Knock knock—"
Heavy stomping sounds came from behind Cheng Bei.
Cheng Bei turned his head and saw that the strange boy he had just encountered had come in with him.
Xiao He stopped stomping his feet, gestured towards the bedroom to Cheng Bei, then pointed to himself and pointed at the man on the ground.
Cheng Bei understood.
He went to the bedroom to look for someone, while Xiao He stayed behind and took the man out.
Cheng Bei nodded immediately, then turned and ran towards the bedroom without hesitation.
Xiao He swiftly picked up the person from the ground.
Xiao He was surprised for a moment when he saw the other person's face.
Cheng Hongwen!
Xu Youyou and Ran Yunrui's agent!
What is he doing here?
Although Xiao He had a rough idea that all of this was related to Ke Ming'en and the "Silent Search" crew the moment he saw Tong Junhui and Cheng Bei, and even vaguely guessed that the person Cheng Bei wanted to save was Xu Youyou—after all, Xu Youyou would definitely seek protection from others after she got out, and the only ones connected to Ke Ming'en were Dong Zeng and Feng Zhengyang from the "Silent Search" crew.
But Xiao He never expected that Cheng Hongwen would also appear here!
Since Xu Youyou's incident, their agency quickly severed ties, terminated the contract, and threw Xu Youyou out, afraid of getting involved in anything. Therefore, Cheng Hongwen is no longer Xu Youyou's agent.
Why is he here?
Are you here to see Xu Youyou?
Xiao He was full of questions, but when he saw the knife wound on Cheng Hongwen's neck, he didn't dare to delay. He covered the other man's neck, grabbed him, and rushed outside.
"Xiao He!"
As soon as Xiao He rushed out, he bumped into Liu Rulan.
Seeing Xiao He emerge safely, Liu Rulan breathed a sigh of relief. However, before she could utter any words of reprimand, she was startled by the blood-soaked person in Xiao He's arms.
"Cheng Hongwen?" Liu Rulan blurted out, "What's that guy doing here?"
