Mo Xiaoqing hurriedly said, "I understand what Captain Xu means. Men are like this after drinking. I won't take it to heart.

What kind of society is this now? Haha, it's not like in ancient times that Captain Xu will be held responsible." The

more Mo Xiaoqing spoke, the more unnatural her expression became. She was so embarrassed that she simply shut up.

"I can only say sorry for what happened last night! After drinking, I really didn't know what I did." When Xu Yao said this, he felt guilty.

With a bang, the bowl in front of Mo Xiaoqing fell over, and the porridge inside spilled onto the table.

She stood up, wiped the table with a rag, and immediately said, "That...that Captain Xu, I'm going to work first. Don't worry, I will forget about it immediately."

Mo Xiaoqing grabbed her bag as if she was escaping and rushed out the door. She obviously didn't care, but why was her face full of tears and her heart aching?

Did she really not care? The first man she slept with was also the first person she really liked.

Xu Yao's attitude had already shown that she was really just a little assistant in his eyes.

Mo Xiaoqing thought: Since Xu Yao has no love for me, why bother? I should learn to turn around gracefully, which is to protect my dignity.

As the Spring Festival is getting closer, the work of the police force has become much less busy. Mo Xiaoqing feels that there is no difference between work and life, except for the deliberate distance between her and Captain Xu.

In order to avoid Captain Xu, Mo Xiaoqing is definitely the first one to rush out of the office after work. When she rushed forward, she happened to meet Xu Yao coming out of the office.

Mo Xiaoqing hurriedly greeted him, "Captain Xu, you're off work!"

Xu Yao coughed twice, "By the way, Mo Xiaoqing, you're off work too, how about I take you home!"

"No, no, no, Juanzi has an appointment with me for dinner." Mo Xiaoqing ran away dejectedly after saying that.

Xu Yao was angry and drove home. He was in a bad mood, so he called Li Tianfeng to make an appointment for a drink, but he didn't answer.

He had no choice but to call his old friend from the same police academy and make an appointment for a drink.

But before he arrived at the agreed location, Xu Yao received a call,

"Hello, Captain Xu, I am Liu Xiaobo, the police firefighters in Mingxin District received a fire alarm call, the Haowei Restaurant on Liyuan Road was on fire. And we found out that Mo Xiaoqing from our criminal police team had made a reservation to dine in the restaurant." With

a hiss, Xu Yao turned the steering wheel as fast as he could and drove towards the restaurant. His hands were shaking as he gripped the steering wheel, and he had some difficulty breathing.

From time to time, he recalled the sentence in his mind, "...the restaurant was on fire, Mo Xiaoqing was dining in the restaurant..."

When Xu Yao hurried to the restaurant, what appeared before his eyes was a tragic scene.

He saw a group of people running out. Some of them were dressed in disarray, and some took off their coats to cover their noses and eyes, crying and shouting as they ran outside.

Xu Yao looked up and saw thick smoke billowing from the windows extending from the first floor to the fourth floor.

"Mo Xiaoqing!" Xu Yao roared.

A very ominous premonition loomed over Xu Yao's head. He shook his head, forced himself to wake up, and rushed out of the restaurant in two steps.

He stretched out his hand to push open the restaurant door, and for the first time he felt that the door was so heavy.

The hissing and crackling sounds of the burning objects inside were endless. A wanton fire dragon had already spread from the first floor to the top, as if it was going to swallow up the entire building.

He wanted to rush in regardless of everything, but the security guard at the door stopped him,

"You can't go in, it's too dangerous inside."

Xu Yao shouted loudly: "Don't worry about me, call the fire truck immediately, quickly!"

While the security guard was still in a daze, Xu Yao forced his way into the thick smoke.

Just after entering, something collapsed above his head. He just heard the sound and was hit hard. His back was burned and he screamed several times in pain.

Xu Yao did not give up, pushed away the wooden board on his back, and stood up again. At this time, the fire dragon met the fresh air released when he opened the door, and became more manic and roared and burned violently.

Mo Xiaoqing was still inside, he must find him.

Now he has no time to think about other things. He can only rely on his intuition to save people in a race against time.

Through the thick smoke, he vaguely saw the stairs leading to the upper floors. Xu Yao figured out his direction. He should be in the lobby of the restaurant. Mo Xiaoqing's mobile phone positioning showed that he was on the third floor.

He walked up the stairs. The temperature rose higher and higher, and the smoke became thicker.

After much difficulty, he reached the second floor. The heat waves hit his face. Xu Yao's face and body were burned and painful. He couldn't open his eyes at all. Everything around him was shrouded in thick smoke and couldn't see clearly. It was darker than hell here.

Xu Yao did not give up. For the sake of the little one, he would save her even if it cost him his life.

He could only hear the crackling sound of objects being burned, and did not hear a single signal for help.

The smoke poured into Xu Yao's lungs through his nose, and he felt that he was inhaling thousands of hot, barbed iron hooks.

Xu Yao chose to squat down, put his hands on the ground, lowered his head, and found that he could breathe.

But in such an environment, Xu Yao was like a blind man who had lost his crutches. He could only use his fingers to tentatively move forward little by little, and he tried to climb the last step of the stairs.

When his fingers touched the ground, he touched a carpet, but it had been burned and rolled up, and the nylon inside was melting.

Xu Yao retracted his hand due to the burn, and his fingertips were already burned. At this moment, he felt like the trapped man Tian Xiusi in Greek mythology, who had to grab Princess Ariadne to get out of the maze.

Xu Yao finally understood that this piece of almost burned ground should be stacked on the restaurant staircase corridor.

He was following this carpet and should soon reach the location of Mo Xiaoqing's box.

Xu Yao shouted Mo Xiaoqing's name loudly, and at the same time, he was filled with immense remorse and regret in his heart.

If he could survive, he would never let Mo Xiaoqing get hurt again.

The flames were burning more and more fiercely, thick smoke was rolling, and the area around him had turned into a sea of ​​fire.

Xu Yao moved with difficulty, crawling forward little by little on his hands and knees, shouting with all his strength,

"Is there anyone? Is there anyone inside? Mo Xiaoqing, Mo Xiaoqing!"

But no one around responded.

Xu Yao began to panic, he was afraid of facing another farewell.
