Chapter 52 Silver Faced Man
"Miss!" Guyu exclaimed.
Chen He reacted almost instantly!
This is a trap!
Targeting Zhou Yan'an! Or rather, targeting all of them!
She rushed to the inner room door and knocked hard.
"Zhou Yan'an! Zhou Yan'an!"
Zhou Yan'an's rapid coughing and the sound of banging on the door came from inside!
The fire spread very quickly!
The door panel has started to get hot and thick smoke keeps coming out from the gap!
“Get out of the way!”
Shen He took a step back and shouted to Chu Yue.
She looked around for something heavy to smash the door with.
Right now!
A figure, like a ghost, appeared silently beside her and pulled Shen He's arm hard!
It’s Xue Minglan!
He looked at the burning door with complicated eyes.
"Chen He, don't go!"
"The fire inside is too big! You can't get in!"
Shen He turned his head suddenly, his eyes as cold as a knife!
Where did he appear from? How did he know he couldn't get in?
“Get out of the way!”
Xue Minglan stood in front of her and shook his head.
"I can't let you go and die!"
"He is from the Ministry of Justice and has his own court..."
"I brought him here to investigate this matter. I have an obligation to ensure his safety!"
Shen He interrupted him harshly, with a sense of determination in his voice!
She couldn't just watch Zhou Yan'an die!
In her previous life, the people around her left one by one, and she never wanted to experience that feeling of powerlessness again!
"Xue Minglan, I'll say it again, get out of the way!"
A raging fire burned in Chen He's eyes, even more intense than the fire behind the door!
She pushed Xue Minglan away suddenly!
Xue Minglan staggered and almost fell.
Chen He grabbed the wreckage of an overturned medicine cabinet nearby and smashed it hard against the burning door with all his strength!
***
inside the house.
Thick smoke and oppressive heat!
Zhou Yan'an was choked and coughed repeatedly, and the sparks almost burned his eyelashes.
But there was no panic in his eyes.
The more dangerous the situation, the calmer he is.
Death? Zhou Yan'an's life is not so easy to end here!
His eyes quickly swept across the small inner room, and in the sight shrouded by flames and thick smoke, he caught a glimmer of hope!
Corner!
There was a tiny single window there!
Looking at the structure, it seems to be much weaker than the solid wood and brick walls at the door!
Without any hesitation, Zhou Yan'an drew out the sword from his waist with a "clang"!
A flash of cold light!
He held his breath, poured in his inner strength, and chopped down fiercely at the single window!
"Bang!"
“Crack!”
The solid window frames made a sound of being unable to bear the weight, and wood chips and gravel flew everywhere!
A few more hits and he'll be able to break out of the window!
Just then!
Outside the door, there was a faint "bang bang" sound, and a familiar and urgent female voice, tearing through the crackling sound of the burning flames!
"Hold on! Zhou Yan'an! I'm here to save you!"
It’s Shen He’s voice!
Zhou Yan'an's whole body trembled, and the chopping movement suddenly stopped!
He couldn't believe his ears!
Chen He? !
She came to save him? !
Why? !
He was just a minor official in the Ministry of Justice. If it was true as the note said, he was just a chess piece of hers. If he died, he died. With her intelligence, she could find another one at any time.
How could she, how dare she, how could she brave this raging sea of fire and rush in to save him?!
A huge, indescribable shock gripped Zhou Yan'an's heart!
He was already prepared to swing the knife at the window again, but his movement froze in mid-air.
The foot that was about to step towards life was nailed to the spot by an invisible nail, unable to move!
"Bang--!"
An even louder bang!
The door, which was already shaking from being licked by the flames, was suddenly slammed open by a huge force from the outside!
Sparks flying!
A slender figure with an indomitable and resolute aura, wrapped in the smoke and dust outside, rushed in like crazy, regardless of the scorching heat wave!
"Zhou Yan'an!"
Chen He's voice was hoarse from inhaling thick smoke, but the anxiety in his voice was extremely clear!
In her eyes, there is only him!
She ran straight towards him, as if he were some rare treasure, rather than a "witness" who might bite her back at any time!
"Go!"
Shen He rushed to him, and without thinking, she grabbed his arm and tried to pull him towards the door she had rushed in from!
Zhou Yan'an staggered as she pulled him, and subconsciously turned his head to look at the door.
Just one glance and both of them gasped!
The way back is gone!
In the brief moment when Shen He broke through the door and rushed in, the beam collapsed under the heavy weight!
The surging flames were like a greedy beast, completely engulfing the doorway and forming an insurmountable wall of fire!
The heat wave was so intense that it almost scorched people's skin!
“Oh no!”
Chen He's face turned pale instantly, and he subconsciously tightened his grip on Zhou Yan'an's hand, his fingertips cold.
Zhou Yan'an looked at the blazing wall of fire, and subconsciously glanced at the window that he had just chopped in half.
He can actually walk.
Even if Shen He didn't come, if he was given a little more time, he could escape through that window.
He can't die.
But she...
However, even though she knew that it was a deadly situation inside, she still rushed in to save him at the risk of her life!
She gambled her own life on the life of a "chess piece"?
Why on earth is this happening?!
A huge sense of absurdity and a boiling emotion that even he himself couldn't explain or define surged and exploded in his chest like magma!
He stood there in a daze, letting Shen He's cold hand tightly grasp his burning arm. For the first time, he felt an emotion called "being at a loss".
"What now?"
Chen He's voice was nasal and trembled uncontrollably. She looked at the completely sealed door, then at Zhou Yan'an who seemed dazed beside her, and felt extremely anxious.
Her hands clenched tighter.
Zhou Yan'an suddenly came back to his senses!
Now is not the time to think about these things!
He grabbed Shen He's wrist with his backhand, and felt the coolness and tenderness beneath the scorching heat.
“This way!”
He was about to speak, to pull her towards the broken window where there was still hope—
Just then!
There was a rustling sound above my head!
A black shadow, like a falcon in the dark night, fell silently but with the force of thunder without any warning from the cracks in the burnt and broken beams!
quick!
It’s so fast that people don’t have time to react!
The man was dressed in a neat black suit and had a cold silver mask without any patterns on his face, revealing only a pair of eyes that were bottomless and as cold as a pool!
He didn't even see the situation inside the house clearly. The moment he landed, his target was clear!
His left hand shot out like lightning and precisely grasped Shen He's waist!
At the same time, he stretched out his right hand and grabbed Zhou Yan'an's arm, who was still in shock!
No explanation!
There was no time at all for the two to react or ask questions!
The silver-faced man spun suddenly, taking the two of them with him, and rushed towards the window that Zhou Yan'an had chopped out a crack, like a whirlwind, breaking through the window and rushing out!
“Boom!”
They just broke away!
The beams of the inner room could no longer support the building, and it collapsed with a loud bang, sending sparks flying all over the sky!
Dust is flying and heat waves are hitting!
The raging fire, accompanied by the loud noise of collapse, completely separated the two sides!
Xue Minglan, Chu Yue and Guyu were forced back by the raging flames and billowing smoke, and were blocked outside the wall of fire!
On this side, only Chen He, Zhou Yan'an who was coughing and choking, and the mysterious iron-masked man were left.
The air was thick with the acrid smell of burning wood and smoke.
Chen He didn't care about the choking smoke and dust and immediately squatted down.
"Zhou Yan'an? How are you?"
There was a subtle hint of anxiety and fear in her voice.
Zhou Yan'an coughed violently, and every time he inhaled, his lungs felt like they were being burned by flames.
He waved his hands, trying to reassure Shen He, but he couldn't even utter a complete sentence.
But his mind was extremely clear at this moment.
"I can't die yet..."
Seeing that he could still speak, Chen He breathed a sigh of relief, then turned his head abruptly, his sharp eyes directed at the silver-faced man who had been silent.
Is he the one who saved her that night?
"Is it you?"
