The people around suddenly became panicked.

Yan Zhiyu then discovered that there was a pungent smell in the air, as if something was burning. Just now, she was only concerned with chatting with her sister and Cheng Ruiyuan, and her always keen sense of smell was not used.

She looked around and saw thick smoke coming from the upper floors, and she could even see faint flames!

"Sister, be careful!"

Yan Zhiyu subconsciously wanted to protect Yan Fangwei.

However, when she turned around, she saw that Cheng Ruiyuan had stood in front of Yan Fangwei to prevent her from being hit by the panicked crowd.

Yan Zhiyu: “.”

I feel like I have more than enough!

As the black smoke from the burning grew thicker and the flames grew larger, the temperature in the banquet hall became higher and higher, the crowd became more panicked, and the screams were indescribable.

Some were desperately trying to escape, while others were looking for their companions.

The scene was in disarray.

At this moment, a figure came against the direction of the crowd, looking for something while shouting "Rui Yuan" loudly, his eyes almost popping out of his head in anxiety.

It’s Huo Xianglin.

Yan Zhiyu couldn't help whispering, "It seems that Huo Xianglin still cares about you and is concerned about you..."

Cheng Ruiyuan remained silent.

After Yan Zhiyu waved, Huo Xianglin finally saw this side.

He hurried over, looked Cheng Ruiyuan up and down, and after confirming that he was okay, he breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to himself.

"Fortunately you are okay...Fortunately you are okay...It has only been a few days since I found you. If anything had happened, the ancestors of the Huo family would have cursed you to death. You might as well not live anymore..."

At this moment, two people who were running out accidentally bumped into each other and fell to the ground at the same time.

Everyone passing by was in a panic and almost stepped on them several times.

Cheng Ruiyuan hurried forward to help the man up, and after arranging for the nearest butler to send them out, he turned around and looked over.

"Weiwei, Xiaoyu..."

When he looked at Huo Xianglin, he paused.

"And... Dad, you two should find a safe place to wait and control the situation."

Looking at the hurriedly leaving figure, Huo Xianglin was in a daze for a long time.

After a moment, he startled and shouted excitedly.

"Did you hear that? You all heard it, right? Ruiyuan called me dad...he called me dad!"

Yan Zhiyu revealed a mask of pain.

"...I heard it, could you please stay a little further away from my ears?"

Cheng Ruiyuan showed his quick-witted side and directed the Huo family calmly throughout the whole process. The Huo family, which was in chaos at the beginning, gradually became orderly.

Some were putting out the fire, some were evacuating the guests, everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

Huo Xianglin straightened his back, the pride in his eyes almost overflowing.

This is Huo Xianglin’s son!

Fortunately, the fire was not big and was put out by the firefighters.

Most of the guests were not injured. Only a few of them were accidentally injured or bumped into during their escape. However, they only suffered minor injuries and were not in danger of death.

Cheng Ruiyuan arranged for the frightened guests to be sent home, and asked the Huo family's private doctor to treat the injured. He also called the emergency number just in case.

Soon, Yan Zhiyu, Yan Fangwei, Cheng Ruiyuan and Huo Xianglin were the only ones left in the banquet hall that was noisy just now.

After a housekeeper hurriedly ran down from upstairs and reported something, Cheng Ruiyuan frowned deeply.

Because the guests had already left, he did not hesitate to speak directly to Huo Xianglin in front of Yan Zhiyu and Yan Fangwei: "A charred body was found in the room upstairs."
