Chapter 535 Yang Yi, Save Me
It was Zhang Wanting.
Shen Li was shocked. How could she be here?
Zhang Wanting's face held a twisted sense of pleasure as she approached step by step, her eyes seeming to want to devour Shen Li whole.
"Why aren't you saying anything? Are you wondering how I got here?"
"You bitch! It's all because of you!"
Her voice was sharp and piercing, filled with resentment and bitterness.
"If you hadn't seduced Yang Yi, how could my dad have lost his job? How could our family have been ruined?"
"You've ruined my life, leaving me penniless and homeless! You deserve to die!"
As soon as Zhang Wanting finished speaking, two expressionless men walked out from behind her.
"Let me out, and I'll have Yang Yi arrange another job for your dad," Chen Li shouted, pounding on the iron gate.
"Hahaha, I finally managed to lure you here, and now you're going to let you go? Dream on." Zhang Wanting gave her a look.
Two men in plumbing work clothes came over carrying two large buckets of gasoline.
"In a moment, I'll see how you escape from this inferno."
With a single glance, they poured gasoline cans around the wooden house.
The pungent smell of gasoline filled Shen Li's nostrils, making her blood run cold.
What are you trying to do?!
Shen Li was so frightened that her voice trembled.
"Zhang Wanting! You're insane! Let me out!"
Zhang Wanting completely ignored her cries and instead revealed a cruel smile.
"Crazy? You've driven me crazy long ago!"
"Chen Li, today is your death day!"
She leaned close to Shen Li's ear and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, her tone filled with a morbid boastfulness.
"Go in peace. After you die, I will take good care of Brother Yi for you."
After saying that, she straightened up and took a few steps back, as if admiring her masterpiece.
She took out a lighter, pressed it gently, and a flame shot out.
"Goodbye." She tossed the lighter aside.
The moment the flame touched the gasoline, it burst into flames.
The wall of fire instantly engulfed the entire wooden house.
Zhang Wanting turned around, and with the two men, disappeared into the night without looking back, entering the dense forest behind her.
Thick smoke billowed, choking Shen Li so much that she couldn't breathe.
The fire raged around her, and the heat scorched her skin.
...
On the other side, the villa was brightly lit.
The housekeeper rushed in from outside, his face filled with anxiety.
"Sir, something terrible has happened! The wooden house in the backyard is on fire!"
Yang Yi frowned and put down the documents in his hand.
"Let's go take a look."
He got up and walked out, down the stairs, but didn't see that familiar figure.
He casually asked, "Where is Miss Chen?"
The butler replied, "Miss Shen hasn't returned yet. I heard the sightseeing bus broke down on the way."
Just then, the sightseeing bus driver stumbled in, drenched in sweat.
"gentlemen!"
Yang Yi looked at him, "Where is Miss Chen?"
The driver, panting heavily and looking bewildered, said, "Just now... just now a maid came over and said that you asked her to pick up Miss Shen to have dinner together, so she took her away."
Yang Yi's heart jolted, and a strong sense of unease instantly gripped him.
not good!
He didn't have time to think about anything and rushed to the backyard.
"Seal off the entire island! Not a single fly is allowed to escape!" he roared at Chen Kuo behind him.
"Go put out the fire."
...
The fire grew larger and larger, and thick black smoke shot into the sky, blackening half of the sky.
The entire wooden house was engulfed in flames.
Shen Li coughed incessantly from the thick smoke, tears streaming down her face, and her consciousness gradually blurred.
"Help……"
"Yang Yi... help me..."
Her cries were so faint they were almost inaudible, and were quickly drowned out by the crackling of the flames.
She walked further in, looking for another exit, trying to avoid the thick smoke.
But there was no way out, so she rushed out again. The fire was too fierce; it had even heated the door until it was red-hot.
"Yang Yi... Waaah." She called his name in despair.
In the grove, Zhang Wanting and her group were trudging deeper into the woods.
In the past, her father would bring her to Seagull Island for vacation every year, and she knew the route there better than anyone else.
If we just hide here for one night, and then sneak onto the ferry to the island tomorrow amidst the chaos, everything will be fine.
She glanced back at the towering flames, a malicious smile creeping onto her lips.
Shen Li, this is what happens when you mess with me.
...
When Yang Yi arrived, the entire wooden house was already engulfed in flames.
The workers frantically poured water into the fire with hoses, but it was nothing more than a drop in the ocean compared to the raging inferno.
"Chen Li!" he shouted frantically at the sea of fire.
"Lili!" There was no response.
Looking at the raging flames, he rushed in without thinking.
Chen Kuo grabbed him and shouted anxiously, "Brother Yi!"
"The fire is too big! You can't go in! Your sister-in-law might not be inside!"
"Get out of my way!" Yang Yi shoved him away with astonishing force.
He grabbed a wet blanket from the side, draped it over himself, and charged back into the inferno.
He raised his long leg and kicked open the already red-hot iron gate with a powerful kick.
"Bang!"
A wave of scorching heat mixed with thick smoke rushed towards us.
The temperature inside was terrifyingly high, almost enough to bake a person alive.
"Pear!"
"Lili! Where are you!"
He coughed as he anxiously searched for her amidst the billowing smoke.
Finally, in the corner, he saw Shen Li curled up on the ground.
She had already fainted, and her fate was unknown.
"Pear!"
He rushed over and carefully pulled her into his arms.
Just then, a charred roof beam overhead snapped under the strain and fell straight down!
Yang Yi's pupils contracted. Without thinking, he turned around abruptly and used his back to shield the woman in his arms.
The heavy log slammed down on his head.
A sharp pain shot through him, and he groaned. His vision went black, and he was about to faint, but he held on; he couldn't fall.
"Brother Yi!" Chen Kuo rushed in, covered with a wet blanket, and was terrified when he saw the scene.
"Quick! Take her away!"
Yang Yi used his last bit of strength to shout to Chen Kuo.
Chen Kuo didn't dare to delay. He immediately picked up Shen Li from his arms and rushed out.
As Yang Yi watched Chen Kuo and Shen Li disappear into the firelight, his tense nerves finally relaxed.
He coughed a few times, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth. He struggled to get up and walk towards a small room.
As soon as Chen Kuo carried Shen Li out of the fire, he shouted to the people outside, "Call a doctor! Quickly!"
He handed Shen Li to someone else and roared at the bodyguards, "All of you, get in! Save Brother Yi!"
Before he could finish speaking...
"Boom!"
The entire wooden house could no longer hold up and collapsed instantly.
Flames and thick smoke shot into the sky, turning the scene into a desperate inferno.
"Brother Yi!"
"Brother Yi!" Chen Kuo cried out in anguish, his eyes instantly turning red.
Everyone was terrified and frantically poured water on the ruins, hoping to extinguish the flames that were devouring everything...
