As the ladder was gradually raised, it eventually reached a height high enough to reach the third floor, giving rescue workers more room to maneuver.
Wen Zhu anxiously requested the team members to first rescue Shopkeeper Lin, who looked seriously injured, and repeatedly reminded them to ensure his safety; after the teammates successfully rescued and transferred him away, she moved cautiously and followed everyone to slowly descend from the height to the ground.
As soon as she landed, she could no longer hold back her tears, all because she had just accidentally seen the long wound on her companion's back.
As soon as my feet touched solid ground, many enthusiastic residents gathered around, their faces filled with worry and anxiety.
"Doctor! Doctor, please come and give them a thorough physical examination!"
There were shouts of concern from the crowd.
This familiar voice shocked Wen Zhu's heart - it actually came from Fu Yu's mouth.
How is that possible?
How come I met him here?
Could it be that Fu Yu also came to this chaotic place?
It was not until this moment that Wen Zhu felt a little relaxed and had time to look around at the surrounding situation.
Just as she turned her head, the familiar figure appeared in front of her.
Fu Yu, who usually pays great attention to his appearance, looked extremely embarrassed at this moment: his originally smooth and silky black hair now hung down in a messy manner in front of his forehead; he was wearing a dark blue casual suit and a pair of cotton slippers that he would only wear at home.
Such a person who always takes care of himself impeccably on weekdays actually appeared on the street in such an outfit. It was obvious that he rushed here after hearing the news.
But the question is, how did he know about the sudden fire incident here?
Just as Wen Zhu was lost in thought, a professional medical staff member in a white coat quietly walked up to him, ready to make a preliminary diagnosis of the injured person.
She quickly put aside her doubts and turned her attention to the victims who desperately needed help. At the same time, she said anxiously in a slightly hoarse voice, "Please go take care of the others first. I'm fine now, really."
Because just now, Wen Zhu had caught a glimpse of an embroiderer who bravely participated in the fire-fighting operation being accidentally burned and urgently needed professional personnel to treat her wounds.
Realizing that the surrounding situation could not be delayed, the medical staff looked at Fu Yu with some hesitation, but faced with the patient's urgent needs, they chose to follow the instructions.
Then, the two short but powerful words "quickly" and "go" completely drove him to walk in another direction.
Then, as if premeditated, Fu Yu moved to Wen Zhu's side almost instantly, holding the girl's wrist tightly with both hands, his eyes full of concern and uneasiness, and his tone could not hide the deep worry in his heart as he asked: "Tell me, are you injured anywhere?"
When she saw the other person's figure through her blurred vision, Wen Zhu could only vaguely make out the rough outline of a man - that man was Fu Yu, who surprised her but also made her extremely concerned.
Although she was filled with gratitude for the young nobleman who came to rescue her in dishevel in the middle of the night, she did not have any excessive expectations.
She knew very well that it was difficult to expect such a young man to develop any deep feelings for someone of her status.
After adjusting her emotions, she made up her mind and prepared to move forward as planned.
"My Lord, am I in a dream right now? Have I missed you so much that this fantasy has become reality?"
She did not address herself in her usual humble manner, but threw herself directly into Fu Yu's arms, letting her tears soak his clothes.
What was surprising was that Fu Yu, who always had extremely high requirements for personal cleanliness, did not push the person away just because the other person was wet and black all over.
Instead, he wrapped his arms even tighter around the trembling little girl.
At that moment, all the sadness seemed to have found an outlet and poured out. Drops of crystal clear tears flowed down the cheeks, like scattered pearls, unable to control the speed and frequency, and soon wet the corner of the clothes in the arms.
When she was finally able to stop the tears from flowing, Wen Zhu slowly raised her head to look at the man in front of her, her voice intermittent with sobs: "In those few minutes just now, I really thought... I would never have the chance to see your face again. At that moment, I had only one wish in my mind, that even if I can't protect you in this life, I am willing to be your companion for all the lives to come..."
As she said these words, tears welled up in her eyes again. Without hesitation, she threw herself into Fu Yu's broad and warm chest and burst into tears.
At this moment, the strength of his hands around her slender waist became more and more firm. At the same time, he gently rested his chin on her slightly cool and slightly moist forehead, and said in a low but comforting voice: "Don't be afraid, everything is over. Remember, I am here and I will not leave."
Throughout the whole process, both of them seemed to ignore everything around them, immersed in the sense of security and love given to each other, and completely forgot the passage of time and the gazes of others.
At this time, an official cautiously stepped forward to report: "Your Majesty, the patrol officers apprehended a suspicious individual during their mission and discovered a lighter, an unusual item, on his person. Furthermore, not far from where they found the suspect, they unexpectedly found several drums filled with fuel."
Hearing this, Fu Yu's eyes suddenly became as cold and ruthless as winter. He gave an order in an unquestionable and extremely firm tone: "Bring him up to me immediately!"
It didn't take long before the arrested people were escorted by soldiers to Fu Yu and others.
At this time, Wen Zhu, who had been nestled in Fu Yu's arms, slowly let go of his hand, then turned around and faced the arrested person in front of him.
What shocked everyone was that the person standing there was none other than Du Juan, who everyone had always suspected but lacked sufficient evidence to accuse!
It’s really her, the mastermind behind all this!
"Oh my God, I never thought you would be so bold, Dujuan! Don't you know that arson is punishable by death?!"
Faced with the fact that his former friend would actually do such a thing, Wen Zhu's eyes were filled with disbelief and deep anger.
"Now that I've been caught, I no longer think about escaping. My only regret is that I didn't succeed in going to hell with a villain like you!"
