The fire started instantly, but the paper figures were almost completely burned, and not a single spark appeared on the door.
Yuanyuan took the paper money from the side, stacked several bundles together, and lit it...
The fire suddenly burst into flames, burning Yuanyuan's hair and illuminating the entire room.
Yuanyuan quickly hid in the bathroom, covering her mouth and nose with the blanket, and peering out through the crack in the door.
The torches set the doors and windows ablaze, and in an instant, the flames reached the roof. All the other paper items inside caught fire, and the entire house was engulfed in flames.
Yuan Yuan felt like he had messed up. What if the door hadn't burned down and he had been reduced to ashes? With the fire so big, he didn't dare to go out at all.
"Dad, Mom, Grandpa, Grandma, please come and save me!" Yuan Yuan cried out in his heart, sitting in the bathroom with tears streaming down his face. He was really going to die, and he would never see his parents, grandparents, brother and sister again.
Tuantuan and the taxi driver were also wandering around this area.
They went through all the places they passed, and at the last traffic light there was a fork in the road, which was in this direction.
It was already dark, and although there were streetlights near the funeral home, it still felt particularly eerie.
"The people are probably over here," the driver swallowed hard. Based on his years of experience in the film industry, this place was sparsely populated, suitable for Tibetans, and a favorite spot for kidnappers.
"I also feel it's nearby, Uncle. Park the car here, I'll go down and look for it." Tuantuan had a strong feeling that it was nearby.
The driver said, "If you're just a kid, you'll only be delivering vegetables anyway. Let's call the police to come and look for it."
"Without evidence, the police might not come. I'll go check first. Uncle, you can wait here for me." Tuantuan stuffed all the money in her pocket into the driver's pocket and got out of the car.
The driver looked at the money in his hand, feeling a pang of guilt at having to let a child take such a risk.
He gritted his teeth. He couldn't let a good deed be half-done. If there was any danger, he would definitely run away. No one's life was more important than his own.
The driver also got out of the car, picked up a hammer for self-defense, locked the car, and followed Tuantuan.
Tuantuan was actually very scared, but when she saw the driver follow her, she said, "Thank you, Uncle."
"Run if there's danger. If you try to force your way in, I won't take care of you," the driver said irritably.
"Okay, Uncle, you run first."
driver……
There are no residences near the funeral home; the road is lined with shops that provide funeral services.
"It looks like there's a fire over there?" Tuantuan, with her sharp eyes, spotted the flames and took off running towards the fire.
The driver followed closely behind. There must be something fishy about this place being on fire.
Meanwhile, the old woman and the man also saw that they hadn't gone far when they received a phone call from their boss, who had hired them, saying he wanted to come and check on the hostages they had brought.
The old woman and the man, not wanting to alert the enemy, quickly turned back, noticing the firelight.
"Wasn't the candle lit when you came out?"
"Destroyed it, it must have been that brat's doing," the man said viciously.
"That kid's trying to run away, you'd better hurry back!" the old lady said anxiously. That's twenty million! That's a lot of money!
The man was very burly and ran very fast; he arrived at the door before Yuanyuan and the driver.
The fire had already leaped off the roof, and black smoke was everywhere. The man's eyes were bloodshot with rage. His money! His money!
He quickly kicked away the wood blocking the door. Before the fire could even burn through the door, the man used a key to open it, and flames shot out instantly, setting the man's face ablaze.
The driver happened to see it and quickly picked up Tuantuan and hid to the side.
"Uncle, my brother must be inside. I have to go save him!" Tuantuan cried, knowing that this was wrong, but he couldn't just watch Yuanyuan burn to death.
