Zhong Ruyi, dragging her heavy body, barely managed to help Mingyao up, cursing at Lin Bin's retreating figure.
Lin Bin ignored Zhong Ruyi's words and scrambled to escape with Qiao Wenjuan.
The door had been neglected for a long time, and the lock was rusty.
Lin Bin angrily took an iron bar and kept smashing the lock.
Click! Lin Bin opened the door and pushed Qiao Wenjuan out.
Qiao Wenjuan had just taken a step when her body froze on the spot.
Her pupils constricted as she stared in astonishment at the dagger embedded in her abdomen.
Lin Bin, who was behind, was still a little puzzled, wondering why Qiao Wenjuan had stopped leaving.
Qiao Wenjuan clutched her stomach and took two steps back. Under Lin Bin's gaze, she spat out a mouthful of blood.
Lin Bin was terrified; his face turned ashen.
"mom!"
Qiao Wenjuan glared fiercely at the person outside the door, pointing at her, her mouth opening and closing.
Xia Kexing stood in front of the door, holding a bloodstained dagger, looking at them with a forced smile.
"I'm standing right here today, and none of you are getting out of here!"
Lin Bin glared at Xia Kexing through gritted teeth.
I'm going to kill you!
He lunged at Xia Kexing, only to be stabbed hard in the abdomen.
Lin Bin whimpered in pain, ignoring the wound on his upper abdomen, and gripped Xia Kexing's arm tightly.
"If you don't want us to leave, you're not leaving either!"
He dragged Xia Kexing into the factory and kicked the door shut.
Xia Kexing had a dagger for self-defense, but she was, after all, a woman and no match for Lin Bin.
Suddenly, Lin Bin grabbed her wrist.
With a snap, Lin Bin twisted his wrist ninety degrees.
The dagger fell to the ground, and Lin Bin took the opportunity to pick it up.
Ignoring her wrist injury, Xia Kexing grabbed Lin Bin's ankle with her other hand.
Lin Bin fell face-first into the dirt in a sorry state. When he looked up, his nose and mouth were injured and blood was gushing out.
The two continued to fight, and Mingyao gritted her teeth and took the opportunity to help Zhong Ruyi up.
She helped Zhong Ruyi, who was limping, toward the door.
Qiao Wenjuan leaned against the wall, barely alive, the blood that had seeped out had been dried on the ground by the fire.
Mingyao opened the rusty door and helped Zhong Ruyi out.
Just as Mingyao stepped out, her ankle was suddenly grabbed.
She was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat. When she turned around, she found Qiao Wenjuan staring at her with bloodshot eyes.
She struggled to climb toward the door.
"No, you can't run away!"
Mingyao struggled so hard that she kicked off her shoes.
Qiao Wenjuan still didn't intend to give up, desperately stretching her arms out, trying to grab Mingyao again.
Zhong Ruyi gripped Mingyao tightly and pulled her backward.
Qiao Wenjuan stared intently at Mingyao and Zhong Ruyi, her eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
"Don't...go!"
Qiao Wenjuan had completely stopped breathing. After her arms fell to her sides, her eyes remained fixed on Mingyao and Zhong Ruyi.
Mingyao's body stiffened and she didn't dare to turn around. She grabbed Zhong Ruyi and left quickly.
Fearing that lingering too long would result in being caught by Lin Bin again.
The two of them supported each other and ran a long distance until they found a corner to hide in.
The factory was completely engulfed in flames, illuminating the dark sky as if it were daytime.
Even from a great distance, you can feel the sweltering heat.
Not only that old warehouse, but other warehouses were also affected.
Zhong Ruyi stared blankly at the warehouse engulfed in flames before completely fainting.
Mingyao struggled to drag Zhong Ruyi forward, inching her way forward.
She used almost all her strength to escape from the fire.
Now, they are dragging Zhong Ruyi along, relying entirely on her will to survive.
Mingyao's head grew increasingly dizzy, and her feet felt as if they were shackled, making it impossible for her to move an inch.
Just as Mingyao was about to fall, Qiao Yu's voice suddenly came from behind her.
"Sister Su!"
Mingyao froze, turned around, and the next second, the man uncontrollably pulled her into his arms.
Pei Siyu whispered hoarsely in Mingyao's ear, "Su Xueya, I'm sorry I'm late."
Pei Siyu, who was usually calm and composed, trembled at this moment.
He held Mingyao tightly, wishing he could hold her in his arms the very next second.
Mingyao stood there dumbfounded, a buzzing sound exploding in her ears.
After a brief moment of surprise, Qiao Yu quickly went to help Zhong Ruyi up.
Perhaps she was too tired, Mingyao leaned against Pei Siyu's chest and lost consciousness.
When she opened her eyes again, all she saw was pure white.
The smell of disinfectant in the air calmed Mingyao down a bit.
She tried to move her body and found that her arms and legs were in casts.
She was nailed to the bed, unable to move.
"Sister Su, you're finally awake!"
Qiao Yu looked at Ming Yao with red and swollen eyes, forcing a smile.
Mingyao was stunned for a moment, and when she tried to speak, she found that her throat felt like it was on fire.
Qiao Yu quickly handed her a glass of water.
After taking a sip, Mingyao was able to barely utter a few words.
"You, your aunt and cousin..."
Qiao Yu's eyes welled up with tears again. "The fire is still burning. The police said they might have already..."
Qiao Yu cried uncontrollably, and Ming Yao choked up, reaching out to gently stroke Qiao Yu's face.
She sniffled and wiped away her tears: "Sister Su, Madam Zhong has already woken up once."
"She's going to have an induced abortion."
Mingyao was finally relieved.
The fire at the high-tech company sparked widespread discussion online, with reports covering it extensively.
Mingyao scrolled through the news on her phone.
The number of dead and injured has not yet been determined as the fire has not been extinguished.
