Chapter 156 I can’t hold on any longer
She didn't want Suman to die.
She thought that after Suman was locked up for a while, someone would find her and rescue her.
At least……
She didn't want to see Suman die with her own eyes.
After leaving City B, Su Man's fate has nothing to do with her.
But now, she had to watch him die.
"Shi Xin, what's wrong with you? Why are you shaking?"
"Yeah, your lips are so pale. Are you scared by the news? Then I won't read it. I didn't expect you to be so timid..."
"Don't say that. When I think about the boss and those shop assistants, they...are the people we just interacted with not long ago, I feel bad. Just now, that young man served us wine and smiled at me...I'm really sad. So I can understand Shi Xin."
…
Everyone was talking at once, but Qiao Shixin didn't hear a word. She felt her head was buzzing.
She picked up her phone, went to the corridor and called Qiao Shiyan.
When the call was connected, she couldn't help crying as soon as she heard her brother's voice, "Brother..."
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Qiao Shiyan sat up from the bed, very nervous.
He had just washed up and was about to lie down to rest when his sister finished her competition tonight and called him excitedly to tell him the good news. Although she only won an Excellence Award, Qiao Shixin was very satisfied.
But it wasn't long after that and she was crying like this, and she called in the middle of the night. Qiao Shiyan even suspected that his sister was being bullied.
Qiao Shixin sobbed and recounted the story of how Su Man was locked in an abandoned aquarium by Lu Xiaomin.
"What should I do? There was an explosion there, and Teacher Su was still trapped inside... But I didn't dare call the police. I was afraid they would ask me why I knew Teacher Su was in there, and why I witnessed it all and didn't stop it... Am I also the one who harmed others? Wuwuwuwu... Brother... I was really scared at the time..."
Qiao Shiyan had already started changing into casual clothes when Qiao Shixin was halfway through her story. Zhen Hui was hurrying downstairs. "Don't cry, listen to me."
Qiao Shixin held it in.
Qiao Shiyan said, "Call the police right now and tell the rescuers that there are still people inside. You don't have to elaborate on the specifics, but you must emphasize that there are still people inside. Do you understand?"
"Um……"
"I'm going to find someone who can help now."
"Brother, I'm scared... Will Teacher Su..."
"If you act right now, you won't. Do you understand? Be obedient."
"Okay, I'll call the police now." Qiao Shixin continued to sob before hanging up the phone and calling the police as Qiao Shiyan said.
Qiao Shiyan contacted Xiao Beisheng and learned that Xiao Beisheng was still in the company. He drove to Dingsheng.
Dingsheng was also in a state of panic.
Not for company matters, but for Suman.
Just as Gao Xun located Su Man in a very strange place, Xiao Beisheng received a message from Qiao Shiyan saying that Su Man was trapped in an abandoned aquarium.
The most important thing is that there was an explosion in the aquarium.
Now Suman's life or death is unknown.
Xiao Beisheng immediately called for a helicopter, but it would take some time for the helicopter to arrive.
Xiao Beisheng was in a low voice, sitting on the chair in front of the desk, motionless and silent, but the gloomy aura around him was enough to kill people.
Gao Xun was also very anxious. He couldn't believe that he had come up with a bad idea and asked Mr. Xiao and his wife to calm down for a few days, but now his wife had an accident.
If anything happens to his wife... he would never want to die.
Qiao Shiyan arrived in the midst of a low pressure atmosphere.
"Lawyer Qiao..." Gao Xun was a little surprised. Why did this gentleman come here?
Qiao Shiyan didn't even look at Gao Xun, and walked straight to Xiao Beisheng, "How come you didn't know that Su Man had an accident?"
A questioning tone.
Gao Xun was stunned, fearing that the two would quarrel at this juncture.
But Xiao Beisheng was obviously blaming himself. He lowered his head and said, "It's my fault."
"You are saying this now."
Gao Xun received the news that the helicopter had arrived and immediately said to Xiao Beisheng, "Mr. Xiao, the helicopter has reached the rooftop. We can set off now."
Qiao Shiyan said, "I'll go with you too."
Gao Xun:?
Xiao Beisheng came back to his senses at this moment, and looked at Qiao Shiyan with a hint of suspicion. Finally, he squeezed out two words from between his teeth, "No need."
"Why not?"
"Brother, why are you so concerned about Su Man? Su Man is my wife."
Qiao Shiyan choked. He was so concerned that he just wanted to rush to the scene to see Su Man's condition. If necessary, he could help.
He said, "Shi Xin got into trouble, and as her brother, I should go over and take a look."
This reason convinced Xiao Beisheng, and because of this situation, there was no room for further arguments. In the end, Qiao Shiyan and Xiao Beisheng boarded Xiao Beisheng's private helicopter and rushed to City B.
-
Su Man originally wanted to wait until dawn the next day.
But an explosion shattered her hopes.
In an instant, the earth shook and flames shot into the sky.
The fire source was actually not close to her, but the billowing black smoke kept approaching her.
Su Man felt that she would be choked to death or poisoned by the thick smoke before being burned to death.
With the help of the firelight, Su Man could see clearly where she was. It was a large venue with an iron dome that bent over her head. The place where she fell was an artificial deep pit similar to a depression.
It looks like some animals were raised here before.
There is a pond next to it, but it has dried up and the grass and mosses on it have died, appearing gray and withered.
Su Man originally wanted to find a way to leave, but now it seems that it would be safer for her not to go up.
The smoke always moves upwards, and if she stays in this low-lying area, she might be able to avoid some of the smoke.
Lu Xiaomin originally wanted Su Man to fall to her death, but unexpectedly, by accident, Su Man escaped an explosion.
The fire was so large that it would certainly attract the attention of nearby residents.
It will also attract rescue teams.
Maybe someone will come to this place to check whether there are any homeless people or something.
Su Man kept comforting herself in her heart, thinking that this was a blessing in disguise.
Su Man couldn't find any water, so she had to pull the cloth on her body, cover her mouth and nose, and crawl to the lowest point.
After an unknown amount of time, the thick smoke gradually spread towards Suman.
The temperature around Suman also gradually rose.
It was already hot late at night in summer, and the heat made Suman feel dazed.
With her mouth dry and her tongue parched, she vaguely heard noisy voices and the sharp sound of rescue sirens.
These voices seemed to be very close to her.
But it also seemed to come from far away.
"We just received a call from the police saying there's someone else inside!"
"What's going on? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"There's a lot of methane gas in there, and there's a high possibility of a second explosion. Without knowing for sure if there are still people inside, I can't put my team members at risk. I have to ensure my people's safety!"
"Then why don't you go in and save people?"
"It's not that we don't want to save people, it's that we can't get in! Put out the fire and cool it down first!"
…
Su Man opened her eyes in a daze. In her vision, there was thick smoke but no one in sight.
Her chest seemed to be squeezed by a powerful pressure and she couldn't breathe.
She can't... hold on any longer.
