Zhuo Qiang was trapped in the corridor on the second floor, and more and more people were evacuating.
"Ouyang," Wang Xin called out, "Come back!"
"Captain Wang," the staff stopped him outside, "You can't go in."
"You can't even stop a woman?" Wang Xin said. He walked around outside and then checked his watch. There were three minutes left. "This woman is really desperate. Who else is inside?"
"It's not clear yet, we just arrived." No one dared to go in except professionals.
Ouyang ran to Zhuo Qiang's side and ripped the food from her mouth. "Uncle Zhuo, I'm late." Sweating profusely, she busied herself untying all the ropes that bound him. "We still have time, still have time."
"Ouyang," Zhuo Qiang struggled, "Are you really here?"
They were cheated, they were all cheated. But Ouyang couldn't think of anything else now, the timer filled her mind.
After untying it, Ouyang pulled Zhuo Qiang and ran out: "Uncle Zhuo?" At that moment, Ouyang was pushed out by him and rolled down the stairs. There was a bomb tied to Zhuo Qiang's feet: "Bang!"
"Isn't there still a minute?" Wang Xin pushed the people outside and ran in. He saw Ouyang lying unconscious on the ground. "Ouyang?" He ignored his injuries and dragged her out. Just as they were about to reach the door, the shockwave from the explosion knocked them to the ground.
The fire truck and four ambulances arrived. Both men were taken to the hospital. Ouyang suffered broken legs and a broken hand, while Wang Xin suffered partial burns and a mild concussion.
Wang Xin's colleagues came to his ward and thought he was risking his life for a woman: "Wang Xin, tell me, what is your relationship with that woman?"
"What's the matter?" His head still hurt. "Don't be so playful in front of me."
"The nurses at the hospital are saying this," a younger colleague said, "you've saved the day twice in one day."
"Have you checked what I asked you to check?" Wang Xin asked. "You're still trying to be so smooth with me here."
"How could I not investigate something the boss asked me to?" he said. "Ouyang Shanmu, a Beijing native, used to work for Zhuo's Enterprise and later became a freelancer. She has a special relationship with the Zhuo Group, and Zhuo Qiang takes good care of her."
"Zhuo Qiang?" Isn't that the Uncle Zhuo she was talking about? "Where is he now?"
They looked at each other. "She went in and found Zhuo Qiang. Zhuo Qiang received an invitation to the wedding and came here today, but he didn't expect the explosion to happen!" No one knew what happened after Ouyang went in. "He's dead."
"Dead." Because the on-site notification was timely, all the banquet staff and other people ran out. "How could it be?"
"According to their staff, Zhuo Qiang did attend the wedding, but disappeared a short while later."
This reminded Wang Xin of Ouyang's desperate eyes. She had rushed into the scene without saying a word, fearless, perhaps driven solely to rescue Zhuo Qiang. So who had wanted them to die together?
"Take me to see her!" said Wang Xin.
I walked down to her ward and saw that her hands and feet were in plaster and she looked very seriously injured.
"She's still in a coma," the nurse next to her said. "You are our city's hero."
Wang Xin smiled rudely: "When will she wake up?"
"It will probably be soon," the nurse said as she packed up some things. "Once the anesthetic wears off, she'll be able to feel the pain."
"Thank you."
The nurse and everyone else left. He sat on a chair to the side, looking at the woman he had known for less than two days. Unlike other women, he couldn't guess what she really wanted. At first, he was annoyed by her arrogance, but later he thought she was quite smart. Today, he even felt that she had a kind of aura that he admired. Who would still think about others in the most dangerous time? She was considered a brave woman. Thinking about it, he smiled. Men just have no resistance to beautiful women. Even if she had been deceiving him since yesterday, even if she started to think she was a bad person, he would probably rush in to save her today. He opened his phone to check, and today's news spread quickly. A colleague also filmed the scene of him throwing himself on Ouyang, and someone filmed it. It was really thrilling. However, he asked his colleague to delete the video as soon as possible, because before finding out the truth, it was better not to expose Ouyang and himself.
The Zhuo family was in turmoil. Zhuo Qiang's mother fainted upon hearing the news of his death and is currently in the hospital. Mr. Zhuo has a weak heart and is currently resting at home. Aunt Lin is watching over him at the hospital. Upon hearing the news, Long Yi and his group rushed to the Zhuo family home.
"Mr. Zhuo?" In the dark room, he saw the old man's desperate back. "Mr. Zhuo?"
"You're here?" said Mr. Zhuo. "Please sit down." He had just received many people. Everyone said that Zhuo's company could not be without a chairman, and asked an old man to handle the company's affairs. Everyone was secretly vying for that position.
"Are you alright?"
"Do you have any news about Ouyang?"
"No," Long Yixing said, "We haven't been able to contact her."
Old Zhuo looked at him. It seemed that he didn't know that Ouyang wanted to stay in a hospital in Harbin, so he said, "Don't contact her recently." These people came for the Zhuo family, and he had to arrange someone to protect Ouyang now.
"Is Mr. Zhuo always worried that something might happen to her?"
"After all, she is from the Zhuo family," said Old Zhuo. "Now that the Zhuo family is in crisis, even I, a middle-aged man, must come out to protect the Zhuo family."
