Chapter 45: Mr. Meng Gets Mad
34th Floor, Hongyuan Building
Thick smoke like ink rolled and engulfed the corridor.
Wearing a breathing mask, Song Yan kicked open the glass door of Dexian Investment Company, and a heat wave hit him in the face.
"Report to the Captain!"
A firefighter shouted in the thick smoke, "Six people are confirmed missing, five adults and one child!"
Song Yan nodded and quickly assigned tasks.
"Search in two groups! Group A, follow me!"
Fan Shengmei slammed the locked door hard. The thick smoke had seeped in through the crack in the door, choking her and making her tears flow.
"Is anyone there?! Open the door!"
There was chaos outside and no one answered.
She quickly took off her knitted coat, turned on the faucet to soak it, and covered her mouth and nose.
Just as she was about to bang on the door again, a faint cry came from the innermost compartment.
"Is anyone there?"
Fan Shengmei turned back and pushed open the compartment door forcefully——
A little girl of five or six years old curled up on the toilet, her face red from crying.
"Don't be afraid!"
Fan Shengmei hugged the child in her arms and handed her the wet coat, "Hold this to cover your nose, like auntie!"
The little girl was obviously frightened. She was crying loudly, breathing rapidly, and her face was turning purple.
“Don’t cry!”
Fan Shengmei yelled, "If you cry, you lose!"
The little girl was stopped and began to sob.
Fan Shengmei began to comfort her, "Believe in me, we will definitely get out. I have super powers!"
The little girl nodded with sobs.
Fan Shengmei looked around, picked up a metal trash can and smashed it against the door lock.
Bang! Bang!
But the door didn't budge at all—it was obviously held up by something heavy on the outside.
“Ahem…”
Her vision began to blur and her phone slipped from her pocket.
The screen lit up, showing an incoming call from "Meng Yanchen", but she no longer had the energy to answer it.
The little girl's cries grew increasingly distant, and Fan Shengmei's consciousness gradually faded...
"Hold on..."
She hugged the little girl tightly, her voice growing weaker and weaker, "Someone will definitely come to save us..."
Bang!
The sound of glass breaking suddenly rang out!
A black figure broke in through the window, and Song Yan jumped into the bathroom nimbly.
"Hold on!" He helped the limp Fan Shengmei up.
Fan Shengmei pointed weakly to the corner, "Child...child..."
Song Yan turned around immediately and found the unconscious little girl in the thick smoke.
Just as he picked up the child, a piece of burning ceiling came crashing down and hit his left arm.
"team leader!"
Two team members climbed in through the window to provide support.
Song Yan gritted his teeth and handed the little girl to his teammates, "Send the child down first!"
He picked up Fan Shengmei and rushed to the window, where a fire ladder was waiting...
【Hospital】
Fan Shengmei slowly opened her eyes. Her throat felt as if it had been burned by fire and she even had difficulty swallowing.
She tried to move and found that her right hand had been bandaged, but her head was still dizzy and even breathing was burning.
Before she could recover from her shock, the door of the ward was pushed open with a bang.
Xu Qin walked in angrily, his eyes as cold as ice.
"Fan Shengmei!"
Her voice was cold and filled with suppressed anger. "You are an adult, right? Don't you know to run when there is a fire?!"
She walked a few steps to the bedside and glared down at Fan Shengmei.
"Basic emergency knowledge, didn't the school teach that? Didn't the company provide training?!"
Fan Shengmei opened her mouth and wanted to explain, but only a hoarse voice came out, and her throat hurt as if it had been cut by a knife.
Xu Qin didn't give her a chance to speak and continued to accuse her coldly.
"Song Yan was injured trying to save you! We were going to get our marriage certificate tomorrow! Now you've ruined it all!"
She gritted her teeth, "Every time I meet you, it's always bad news. Can't you just stay away from our lives?!"
Fan Shengmei's eyes were red and she wanted to apologize, but she couldn't make a sound and could only shake her head with difficulty.
At this moment, a cold voice came from the door of the ward——
"Xu Qin!"
Meng Yanchen strode into the ward, wearing a well-ironed suit and with a gloomy expression.
He skipped Xu Qin and the first thing he did was to lean over to check on Fan Shengmei's condition. His voice was low,
"Are you okay?"
Fan Shengmei shook her head and added hoarsely, "I'm...sorry..."
Meng Yanchen frowned and gently brushed away the loose hair on her forehead.
"What are you sorry for? Get some rest, and I'll take care of the rest."
Xu Qin stood aside, his face ashen.
"elder brother!"
Her voice rose, "What do you mean?!"
Meng Yanchen then turned to look at her, stood up, and said coldly,
"Is this your quality and cultivation as a doctor? Is this what the Meng family taught you for so many years?"
He glanced at Fan Shengmei's bandaged hands and pale face.
"Can't you see she's injured too?"
Xu Qin was already furious because of Meng Yanchen's attention to Fan Shengmei, and now she was shaking with anger.
"Song Yan is injured! If it weren't for her——"
"Xu Qin!"
Meng Yanchen interrupted her directly and said sternly, "Have you been so obsessed with love that your brain is full of water?"
His voice was serious. "Song Yan is a firefighter! When he chose this profession, he was destined to encounter situations like today, or even worse!"
He took a step forward, his aura fully radiating, "What qualifications do you have to vent your anger on innocent people?"
He looked calm. "Besides, how serious is it? Is it serious if it's just the burn on his left arm? Is he missing an arm or a leg?"
Xu Qin's face turned pale, and he stiffened his neck. "Brother! How can you say that! Do you know that we were planning to--"
"Getting a certificate, right?"
Meng Yanchen interrupted her again, his tone mocking, "What's wrong with getting a marriage certificate? Is it a national holiday? A universal celebration? Or do all ten lanes of the Third Ring Road have to give way to you?"
Fan Shengmei was stunned by what she heard. She never thought Meng Yanchen was so vicious...
How much do you despise this brother-in-law?
Meng Yanchen continued to speak, "Do you want me to arrange it? Even if Song Yan is paralyzed today, the Civil Affairs Bureau can send someone to let you pick up the certificate tomorrow!"
He sneered, "Don't worry, you two will definitely be able to live together."
Fan Shengmei, “…”
Eyes widened in shock.
Damn it!
Is this the real-life version of "moving the Civil Affairs Bureau here"? So domineering!
Xu Qin didn't expect Meng Yanchen to defend Fan Shengmei in front of her. She was so angry that she was shaking all over and her eyes were red.
She glared at Fan Shengmei fiercely, then looked at Meng Yanchen——
Meng Yanchen simply turned sideways, standing between the two of them, completely blocking her sight.
"elder brother!"
Xu Qin's voice trembled, "This is a hospital, do you really have to talk to me like this?!"
The two men confronted each other, and the air seemed to freeze.
Meng Yanchen spoke coldly,
"Qin Yu!"
Qin Yu, who had been hiding outside the door, quickly poked his head out, "M-Mr. Meng..."
"Arrange for Miss Fan to be transferred to another hospital."
When Fan Shengmei heard this, she was stunned. Why was she involved in this?
I hurriedly tried to pull Meng Yanchen's sleeve, wanting to say that I didn't need to be transferred to another hospital, but he gently held my hand.
"Don't move, be careful of the wound."
Xu Qin stared at Meng Yanchen intently, "What do you mean? Are you afraid that I'll take revenge on her and cause trouble for her? In your heart, I am this kind of person?!"
Meng Yanchen's face was expressionless. "I'm worried that her old injuries haven't healed yet, and her internal injuries are even more serious."
He glanced at Xu Qin and added calmly, "The quality of the medical staff in your hospital is worrying, which is not conducive to her recovery."
He looked at Qin Yu who was standing aside and dared not move, and said in a cold voice,
"What are you standing there for? Why don't you do it quickly?"
This was the first time Qin Yu saw Meng Yanchen and Xu Qin confronting each other like this. He couldn't tell if he was speaking in anger or seriously, so he asked cautiously,
"Mr. Meng, where are you going..."
Meng Yanchen still stared at Xu Qin and shouted angrily,
"Where do you want me to teach you? Do you want me to teach you how to spend your salary?"
"Go wherever is best!"
Xu Qin's eyes were red with anger. Finally, she glared at Meng Yanchen fiercely, slammed the door and left...
