Chapter 112 Soaked to the bone
"It's almost time. The sleeping incense should have knocked them out by now, right?"
"Don't worry, those ten cows should have been taken down long ago."
"Then what are we waiting for? I want to send them on their way myself."
The man gave the woman another hard squeeze before opening the door. The two pinched their noses, found the fuse, and Xia Wanqing lit it directly.
The fuse crackled and sputtered as it extended forward.
The two quickly left the room, and the moment they stepped out of the old house, a loud bang came from the room, and flames shot into the sky.
Everyone was startled; the flames illuminated their shocked faces. After regaining their composure, they ordered the police, fire department, and ambulance to be called, and then instructed the servants to quickly fetch fire extinguishers to put out the fire.
The fire was too big and the area affected was too large; a few fire extinguishers were simply not effective.
A group of people arrived at the open space in front of the old house.
"Something terrible has happened! Su Xi and Ye Qingqian are in a burning room. Help!" a maid shouted anxiously.
Gasps of surprise erupted from the crowd.
"Oh my god, what did they do? Why did they set the house on fire?"
"This is probably a bad omen, poor two beautiful women."
Feng Jinchen's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly called Su Xi, but no one answered.
Ye Qingqian's phone was also unreachable.
Feng Jinchen had a bad feeling; his heart almost jumped out of his mouth. No, Su Xi couldn't be dead; she must be somewhere else.
The man immediately ordered the servants to go find Su Xi and Ye Qingqian.
Layers of air currents rolled down, revealing a black veil of tassels in the air. It floated gently with the air currents, drifting far away before slowly descending.
Feng Jue reached out and grabbed the black veil, his pupils suddenly contracting.
“This…this is indeed an embellishment on Su Xi’s dress.”
Feng Jinchen snatched the black veil, his legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.
Ye Qingqian and Su Xi were together, and Su Xi was inside. So what about Ye Qingqian...? Chu Xu and Fu Heng's expressions changed drastically, and even Gong Shaofan's face turned pale.
Feng Jue snatched the fire hose from the servant, soaked himself from head to toe, then covered his nose with a wet towel and rushed straight into the fire.
Chu Xu clenched his fists, grabbed a hose, soaked himself, and rushed into the fire with a wet towel over his nose.
Fu Heng followed closely behind.
The three men moved swiftly, giving everyone no time to react.
By the time everyone realized what was happening, shouts of surprise, louder and louder, filled the air.
"My God, are they out of their minds?"
"Help! Master Feng, Chu Xu and Fu Heng are inside too! Help them!"
The scene was in complete chaos.
Feng Jinchen was about to rush in when Feng Qinyue held him back tightly. "Brother, calm down. Su Xi will be alright. With a fire this big, you can't save anyone. Su Xi will definitely be okay."
Feng Qinyue said this, but in her heart she prayed that the fire would burn Su Xi to ashes. If her mother knew this good news, she would probably be overjoyed even if she had to kneel in the ancestral hall and go hungry.
When Luo Anya arrived, she saw Feng Jue rushing into the sea of fire.
She was so frightened that her vision blurred and she couldn't even hear her own voice for a moment. After regaining her senses, she rushed forward without hesitation.
Pei Yun Shen quickly hugged the woman, "An Ya, calm down, Feng Jue won't die easily. He'll be alright."
Tears streamed down Luo Anya's face, and she almost lost her balance.
When Su Xi and Ye Qingqian entered the room, there was no one there.
Because of her pregnancy, Su Xi was particularly sensitive to smells and immediately detected the smell of gasoline.
She immediately pinched her nose, gesturing for Ye Qingqian to do the same. The room was empty, and there was a strong smell of gasoline; something was definitely amiss.
There are definitely guards at the entrance; going out would be like walking into a trap.
Su Xi immediately led Ye Qingqian to the balcony, and from there they climbed over to the room next door.
What she didn't know was that because she held her breath in time because of the smell of gasoline, she accidentally avoided inhaling the sleeping gas.
I don't know if the black tulle tassel decoration on the dress was torn off when I climbed over the balcony.
They had no idea that someone would risk their life to rush into the fire for them.
The two people silenced their phones and hid in the shadows downstairs, hoping to see what kind of conspiracy this scam was and who was behind it. Instead, they saw flames shooting into the sky.
Who is so bold as to set fire to the Feng family's home?
They exchanged a glance, both still shaken, and followed the crowd to the open space in front of the old house.
Flames raged, and the old house would likely need major repairs. Before the two could even feel relieved, they heard Feng Jue, Fu Heng, and Chu Xu rushing inside to rescue people.
Who should we save? Are we out of our minds?
Inside the encirclement, a man spoke with a startled expression, holding up his phone with a mixture of excitement and terror on his face: "I was just recording a video of the fire, and I happened to capture those three people rushing in."
My God, I thought such selfless and risk-of-life rescues only happened on TV; I never imagined I'd see it with my own eyes. My heart is still pounding. Su Xi and Ye Qingqian, having such devoted friends, can die without regrets.
The moment the words left his mouth, the man saw Su Xi and Ye Qingqian squeeze in, and his pupils suddenly shrank to pinpoints.
Weren't they both killed in the fire? How could this be...?
"Ah, a ghost!"
The man was so frightened that he dropped his phone.
Ye Qingqian bent down to pick it up; the image on the phone was of Feng Jue rushing into the fire.
Su Xi's face tightened. Her uncle thought she was inside and risked his life to save her, so what about her...?
She grabbed the hose and soaked herself completely.
Ye Qingqian moved her lips as if to pull her back, but the next second she saw Chu Xu and Fu Heng rushing into the fire to save her.
She thought she had severed all love and affection, but in this moment, a certain string in her heart was deeply touched.
She grabbed the hose and soaked herself completely. The two of them covered their mouths and noses with wet towels and resolutely rushed inside. The firelight illuminated their faces, and the flames burned in their pupils.
"Oh no, Su Xi and Ye Qingqian have gone in too."
The crowd stirred again.
"Weren't those two already inside?"
"Oh, don't even mention it. Those two weren't originally inside. They probably saw Master Feng and the others rush in, so they followed them in."
My God, that's a merciless inferno, do they think it's a romantic scene?
Am I seeing things? Is that fire? Is it fire that can burn a person to a crisp? Is it?
Hearing this melodramatic scene of "you save me, I save you," the crowd sighed and exclaimed, creating a noisy and chaotic atmosphere.
Seeing Su Xi rush in, Luo Anya desperately broke free from Pei Yunshen's embrace and picked up the water pipe.
Her wrist was being held by a man.
Luo Anya's eyes were cold, her gaze bloodshot. "Pei Yun Shen, do you want me to hate you?"
Pei Yunshen's pupils dilated in shock. He dejectedly released the woman and grabbed the nearby water hose to pour water on himself.
Luo Anya's eyes flickered, but she didn't speak. The man, soaking wet, handed her a damp towel, and the two rushed side by side into the burning house.
"Something's wrong! Luo Anya and Pei Yunshen have rushed in too! Help!"
Everyone, "..."
They're numb.
They only have one life, a very fragile life, yet they seem to have nine lives, as if they possess a life-saving armor.
I was puzzled but also deeply moved, and I hoped they were alive.
Feng Jinchen pushed Feng Qinyue aside and tried to rush inside, but Old Master Feng rushed over and had the bodyguards hold the crazed man down.
With a loud crash, the two-story house collapsed instantly, and dust mixed with scorching flames rushed towards us.
