Chapter 979 Are you afraid?
She stretched her head slightly from the man's arms to look back, but was quickly covered again.
"Don't look around."
Shen Pianpian then retracted her head and covered her eyes with her hands. Moist liquid kept flowing out from between her fingers, mixing with the blood on her wrist and turning a light red.
And in her mind, what she just saw out of the corner of her eye was still in her mind.
It was a fallen, huge crystal chandelier.
The shattered glass was illuminated by the firelight, casting a bright red color.

The man's cough was intermittent and very strong, as if he wanted to cough out his lungs.
When we reached the deepest room, we found that the walls were also poured with gasoline, and the whole room was filled with a foul smell.
But perhaps because the people working there were not very careful, the corridor they were walking through was covered with traces of broken gasoline, so the fire did not spread so quickly.
The man put the girl on the ground by the window and took off his suit while coughing.
Shen Pianpian took a deep breath, and then began to cough violently in the smell of smoke.
The man rubbed the tip of his nose with the back of his hand, then stood up and closed the door. The thick smoke that had been rushing everywhere was finally slightly blocked out.
He returned to the girl and half-knelt to untie the rope on her hands.
The rope was tied in a knot and was difficult to untie. It took him a long time to untie the knot and slowly touched the skin covered with scars.
Blood coagulated on the pale skin, and the scars caused by the struggle looked particularly hideous.
The man's slender and powerful hands slowly touched the scars, then he lowered his head, half-knelt, and gently placed a kiss on the palm of her hand, along with a drop of cold tears.
The girl's fingers moved slightly, curling up as if to hold the tear.
She raised her eyelids and looked at the man. Her face was wet, but a smile slowly appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Cheng Zhiyuan suppressed a cough, touched her head, and sat down beside her. The moment his back leaned against the wall, his body stiffened slightly, but then quickly returned to normal.
He reached out and gently took Shen Pianpian into his arms, his arms tightly around her, and said in a low voice,
"Are you scared?"
The girl did not answer, but huddled against his chest, silently reaching out to grab the fabric on his waist. She cried again when she felt the wet touch spreading from behind.
But this time all the noises were buried in her suit, so Cheng Zhiyuan could only hear her muffled and weak voice.
"Afraid……"
Grabbing the increasingly damp and bloody fabric, her tears almost drowned her suit.
"I'm so scared..."
The man rubbed his hands, which were covered in black dust and blood, on his suit until they were clean. Then he touched the girl's forehead, raised the corner of his mouth, and whispered,
"It'll be alright..."
He stroked her forehead twice, and finally couldn't help lowering his head and kissing her forehead with his gradually pale lips, muttering over and over again,
"It'll be alright..."
He reached into his suit pocket and pulled out his cell phone. Fortunately, it was expensive enough and waterproof enough that even though it was soaked, it could still be used for calls.
When I turned on the screen, there were already many missed calls.
The man coughed twice and called Secretary Liu back directly.
"We are in the room at the end of the corridor,"
When the man's hoarse voice sounded, Secretary Liu, who was almost going crazy because of the fierce fire in the corridor, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
