The heroine?

Wang Pusheng was completely stunned.

For a long time he opened his mouth wide, unable to utter a word. He suddenly remembered something he had read in a shady magazine, which said that the head of the He family did not have a smooth childhood as they thought.

His overseas assets were entirely self-made.

He had a hard life.

He had also fought with others in the streets full of black, white and brown people, and fought his way to survival.

People like him are different from ordinary rich people. He may really have the cold blood of the dark creatures in the alley flowing in his bones.

This kind of person is covered with the noble appearance of a rich man, but underneath he is a carnivorous wolf. People like Wang Pusheng are like waving a sword in front of Guan Gong, just showing off their skills in front of an expert.

He remained calm before, not because he was afraid, but he seemed like a human looking down at an ant moving house, wanting to see how far he could go with his hard work -

Until he tried to provoke again and again.

The air pressure inside the car was terribly low.

Sweat broke out on his forehead again. He took out a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe the sweat off his face, but accidentally touched the glass fibers that had pierced his face. He grimaced in pain again. He thought for a long time and whispered, "Okay."

Wang Pusheng knew that He Jinxing got along well with the young masters of the Jiang family.

I thought he was going to rob the gang this time, so I gritted my teeth and thought I might as well burn down the shantytown. Let's see if these people really dare to go one step further -

Unexpectedly, He Jinxing was looking for Ye Lang.

The phone rang a few times before being picked up. The person on the other end said "Hello" in a cold and impatient voice, as if to say "hang up if there's nothing else to say".

"Lu Wan arrested Gou An, and they asked me for 200 million, Alang."

He Jinxing’s words are concise and to the point.

"Shouldn't you also take responsibility?"

There was an immediate dead silence on the other end of the line.

"I have 20 million here."

“…Who asked you for money?”

He Jinxing felt that this wild dog was really stupid.

"They want to burn the house. If they can't get the money, they will die with me or Gou An. But I really can't take out so much cash at once - so you think of a way to get Lu Wan here. I'll wait for you in Zhaipu District."

Most people might ask at this time, since He Jinxing has no money, why is he looking for Lu Wan? She is not worth 200 million.

But Ye Lang's only good point was that after hearing this, he didn't ask any questions at all.

He just said "Oh" lightly and hung up the phone.

He Jinxing hung up the phone under Wang Pusheng's confused gaze. After a long pause, he watched the man start the car again and drive on the route planned by the navigation.

He opened his mouth in disbelief and asked, "You...you...are you just calling one person?"

"Yes." He Jinxing said, "One person is enough."

In the central area, in a high-end apartment.

Lu Wan has been restless since she returned home. She received some news that those people asked He Jinxing for money, and after He Jinxing agreed, they were not satisfied and now wanted to add another 100 million.

People have now gathered in front of the ruins of the shantytown.

The shantytown has a complex terrain and numerous illegal buildings, with buildings connected to each other with almost no gaps between them. It was as if a real-life version of "Burning the Camps" was about to take place. Lu Wan walked around the house aimlessly, holding his cell phone.

Gou An was imprisoned in a shantytown.

Because the terrain of the shantytown is complex, fire trucks cannot enter under normal circumstances. Now the collapse from the previous typhoon has not yet been cleared. Once the fire starts, it will be almost impossible for the people inside to escape.

Just thinking about this, it was as if I could feel the blood flowing upward from the soles of my feet, rushing straight to my heart, and my heart began to beat more vigorously than ever before.

She stood in front of the mirror and could almost see her eyes flickering with excitement.

This fire was going to start anyway, right? That's what ended up happening, a man-made disaster.

Lu Wan held up his phone and looked at his friends circle, where there was no reaction to the big news that would shock Jiangcheng tonight. People were updating their friends circle about the drama they just watched, the places they went today, and the cup of milk tea they just drank...

She narrowed her eyes slightly and carefully posted a message to her friends circle, with a picture of the city view seen from the floor-to-ceiling windows of her high-rise apartment.

The caption is: "Looks familiar."

It really looked familiar. In her dream, she had been to the office on the 31st floor of He’s company. There were very large glass windows there. Looking out of the windows, the city scene she saw was exactly the same as the one she saw now.

However, in the dream, in the reflection of the floor-to-ceiling window, there was a tall man standing behind her.

And at this moment in the photo, she is the only one alone.

Will everything really get back on track? Will her dream come true? While Lu Wan was daydreaming, the doorbell rang. She was startled and came back to her senses. At this time, she was extremely alert. She stood on tiptoe and looked out through the peephole. It was Ye Lang in casual clothes.

At this moment, he stood in front of her house, waiting patiently.

Ah, yes, there is Ye Lang in the dream.

He was like a knight, an older brother, always watching over her...

Compared to He Jinxing, who was almost a stranger now, He Ran, who was almost her enemy, or Gou Xun, who had been together for a while but hadn't spoken to her for a long, long time and blocked her circle of friends -

Ye Lang was indeed the one closest to her.

He had been very cold to her recently, but he suddenly appeared at her door. Has the so-called correction begun? Lu Wan opened the door. Outside the corridor, a man with a delicate face but cold eyes raised his eyes, and from behind his long hair, he looked at the person standing behind the door without any emotion.

"Alan, what's wrong?"

There was a slight blush on her pretty face, and her voice was still soft, like a little white flower blooming in the cold wind, fragile yet strong.

Ye Lang didn't say anything, but just opened the door a little -

That was the opening and closing degree that Lu Wan could not close no matter what.

Jaipur area, shanty town.

Gou An curled up in the corner of the bed, talking to Jiao Jiao intermittently, trying to dispel the growing uneasiness in his heart.

She heard a couple arguing outside, and then the door was opened and slammed shut.

The footsteps changed from two people to one person. It should be that the male owner of the house also went out to join the team that extorted He Jinxing... The He Building is not too far from Zhaipu District. It only takes half an hour's drive to get to He Jinxing.

Gou An was extremely anxious. He wondered if he had called the police. He hoped that he was not stupid enough to come here alone. Would those people skin him alive?

If the fire started, what could he do? No matter how powerful he was, he was just a mortal. He was not Superman and he could not fly.

What if he rushed into the fire to try to find her and save her?

After all, he had done the same thing once before.

Thinking of the glance that he and the man sitting in the excavator had when they met in the storm that day, Gou An realized belatedly that it was probably the legendary glance that lasts a lifetime.

Damn it, to be honest, she doesn't want to die at all. She hopes He Jinxing really doesn't want to commit suicide for love.

Cursing in her heart, but inexplicably wanting to cry, Gou An could not help but complain to the system again: Why do I, a vicious female supporting role, have no special skills at all? What use is it? However, the stupid system cat ignored her.

Gou An then realized something was wrong. As time went by, the System Stupid Cat could still respond normally at first, but in the end it spoke less and less. For example, it was just like now, and he often asked it questions but it didn't respond at all.

Gou An noticed this and finally stopped talking nonsense. She sat up a little and shouted "Jiao Jiao".

The system paused for several seconds.

【Jiao Jiao: He is here. 】

Gou An didn’t know who the “he” Jiao Jiao was talking about was.

[Jiao Jiao: An An, you must remember what I say next. ]

[Jiao Jiao: You will not die here today. This round is a sure win for the vicious female supporting role. You must have this confidence.]

[Jiao Jiao: The negotiations outside are almost about to break down. Some of those people's torches have already fallen into the buildings. The outermost buildings are already on fire. We don't have much time left.]

[Jiao Jiao: I will use the last bit of time to help you motivate an ordinary passerby to take action, but you have to know that it is not my credit. You have to remember that this world is all about karma. If you do good things, luck will return to you a hundred times, a thousand times.]

With the voice of the system kitten, the door of Gou An's room was pushed open.

Gou An sat on the bed and met the eyes of the woman standing at the door. The next second, her eyes widened in surprise: because she knew this woman.

Before the typhoon came, I collided with her in front of a supermarket at the entrance of a street in the shantytown, and was thrown back a meter...

As the woman kept apologizing in fear, she rolled herself up from the ground, and all she said from beginning to end was that she was fine, and she bent down to help her pick up a few eggs.

I didn't expect that we would meet again in this life.

The woman's eyes were red, and the wrinkles on her face became more obvious under the ceiling light at night. She gave Gou An a smile that was uglier than crying, and said, I knew she was awake a long time ago.

"They're crazy, really crazy."

The middle-aged woman took a step forward, still mumbling, and found a pair of scissors. When Gou An retreated in fear, she said, "Little girl, don't be afraid."

She tore off the tape on Gou An's mouth and cut the hemp ropes that bound her hands and feet.

"At first they just said they wanted to get some money, I didn't expect that in the end everyone seemed to be out of control... I heard that the house in front was on fire, and the normal way out was on fire. When you go out, there is a small road to the right, run quickly."

The woman wiped her tears with her palms.

"If you want to call the police after you get out, remember that my husband's name is Li Tie. He didn't have much ability in his life, but he left me a son. My son will enter college next year. He studies very well and has always been the first in the school..."

As she spoke, she suddenly knelt down in front of Gou An, grabbed her trouser legs and cried loudly -

"I beg you, you are a good person. If you are going to call the police, please take Li Tie out because I have released you now! My son is going to college, and he can't have a father who has to go to jail! I beg you!"

Gou An was startled by her crying. At this moment, she had no way of empathizing with her. She could only tremble and respond...

In fact, she forgot the man's name completely when she opened the door and saw the flames outside and was so scared.

There's a big fire outside.

It was so big that the sky seemed to be burning red.

It was almost midnight, but it was as bright as day. On such a cold winter night, she didn't feel a bit of cold because of the firelight blowing in her face.

A simple map suddenly appeared in my mind——

It was like a game map. A cursor was flashing at her location, and there were guide lines on the ground, leading her to the only way out at this moment.

【Jiao Jiao: An An, run, don’t look back. 】

When Gou An started running, she suddenly felt that under some invisible force, it seemed that all the dangers in the world were giving in to her.

None of those collapsed houses or falling buildings touched her, let alone burned a single hair of hers.

She ran to Lixie, but didn't dare to stop.

The further she went, the closer she got to the exit, and she seemed to hear the sound of police cars and fire trucks in the distance, as well as the noise of a crowd, some people crying, some people cursing—

It was so noisy that she even thought it was her hallucination.

She passed by a house that had a statue of the God of Land in front of it. In the overturned incense burner, there was still a half-burned incense stick...

The map of light spots in my mind suddenly flickered violently, as if an invisible force was trying to tear it apart.

Suddenly, a spark fell from the sky, like a light firefly floating past Gou An's nose, igniting the remaining incense, and the incense smoke rose up.

[The holy flame is shining, meow meow is so high! ]

The system kitten cheered.

In Gou An's mind, she heard a "click" sound, like the sound of the old Windows 98 system shutting down.

The kitten was silent again.

Tears blurred my vision.

Gou An relied on the activity map that was gradually disappearing in her mind and ran forward with all her might. She finally saw a figure swaying.

She saw two people entangled together, one of them was wearing a white home suit, barefoot, and stumbling around awkwardly.

Lu Wan cried and screamed as the tall man dragged her by the collar and took off her clothes, and took them into the deep sea of ​​fire where they were at the moment.

The girl shouted in horror, "What are you going to do?" There was not even any extra expression on He Jinxing's face. The flames shooting up into the sky reflected on his face, like an evil demon Asura crawling out of hell.

He said a few words to Lu Wan, and judging by his lip movements, it was probably -

The heroine?

After saying that, he picked up Lu Wan like a lifeless doll and threw her directly into the nearest blazing ruins.

As Lu Wan screamed miserably, a bolt of thunder exploded above her head. The next second before Lu Wan was about to fall into the sea of ​​fire, heavy rain fell from the sky.

The raging fire that seemed to devour everything was extinguished, and the entire shantytown was reduced to charred ashes.

Amid Lu Wan's crying, Gou An never stopped. She used all her strength to run towards the man not far away and fell heavily into his arms.

The rain fell like the sound of drums. After a few seconds of shock, the man turned around and hugged the person who suddenly appeared in front of him.

Gou An fell into a cold yet familiar embrace.

Holding the man in front of him as if he were a life-saving straw, Gou An wanted to scold him and asked if he was crazy for really rushing into the sea of ​​fire. He opened his mouth, but only sobs came out.

"He Jinxing."

There was a strong tone of crying in the little girl's aggrieved voice.

"My cat died."
