Xing Haodong's heart suddenly sank.
"Sister Hong, Brother Han! Are you in there?" He shouted loudly inside, but no one answered.
It was obvious that someone had deliberately set the fire and quietly locked the back door from the outside!
What a vicious mind!
He raised the axe and struck the lock again and again.
After a few clangs, the lock was finally broken. Xing Haodong pulled the door open and found that the fire started in the back kitchen. It should have started from the small room where Sister Hong and Brother Han slept.
"Are they coming out yet?"
Jiang Mingxin came back after calling the police. He walked around to the back door and saw this scene. His heart sank.
She stared at the raging flames without saying a word, looked around, and found an iron bucket full of water. She immediately took off her shirt and pressed the water in.
"Jiang Mingxin, what are you doing?" Xing Haodong's eyes swept across her exposed skin, and seeing the shocking scars on her upper body, he understood her intention in an instant.
He walked over and grabbed her clothes, "You are crazy, there is such a big fire, you can't go in!"
"Give me your clothes!"
Jiang Mingxin clutched his completely soaked shirt tightly, refusing to let go. "What if Sister Hong is in there? The house hasn't burned down yet. There's still time to get in!"
"No, the firefighters are coming soon. You have no experience, and if you go in, you might not be able to get out!"
"But this fire might have been caused by me, I have to put it out!" Jiang Ming's eyes were bloodshot, and he rushed in desperately.
Xing Haodong's face was as cold as iron, and he hugged her tightly, "Then you can't be so impulsive, the firefighters will be here soon..."
Jiang Mingxin's eyes were bloodshot. Suddenly, she raised her head and grabbed his arm. "Xing Haodong, Sister Hong is Zhou Suyun."
What?
Xing Haodong is like a sculpture.
Jiang Mingxin held his palm and pinched him hard, "Xing Haodong, Sister Hong is Zhou Suyun! She broke up with the old squad leader because she was harassed by a bully and had to have her face disfigured. And her mother was burned to death!"
Xing Haodong's ears were buzzing with all kinds of noisy and sharp sounds.
He never expected that the person he was looking for was right under his nose.
After being stunned for half a second, Xing Haodong took off his T-shirt and threw it to her, then put Jiang Mingxin's wet shirt on himself, "Don't move, I'll go!"
"You!" Jiang Mingxin reached forward but caught nothing.
She didn't want to morally blackmail Xing Haodong and force him to save people, but for a moment just now, her desire for revenge really burst out like venom, and she wanted Xing Haodong to taste the taste of regret.
She wanted him to know that the woman he so cruelly despised was neither scornful of the poor nor happy.
However, as the fire grew more intense, Jiang Mingxin became more and more anxious.
She looked at the blazing flames and was constantly tortured by her conscience.
What if something happens to Xing Haodong?
It was she who should have taken responsibility, not Xing Haodong.
Suddenly, a shrill cry sounded behind her: "Our store——"
Jiang Mingxin turned around in panic and found that Li Han and Sister Hong were standing behind her safely.
"Sister Hong, are you okay?!"
Seeing her standing there stupidly, wearing only a bra, Sister Hong quickly stepped forward and hugged her. "We're fine, why do you look like this? Hey, what's with the lock on the ground?"
Jiang Mingxin didn't bother to find out what happened and rushed to the door.
"Xing Haodong, Sister Hong and the others are not in there! Come out quickly, come out! Come out quickly——"
She screamed at the top of her lungs, using up all her strength.
One second, two seconds... more than ten seconds passed, and Xing Haodong still didn't come out.
Jiang Mingxin's pupils trembled, and he blinked hard, then shouted behind him: "Firefighters, are the firefighters here?"
Just when she thought Xing Haodong was going to die in there, a figure suddenly jumped out from the fire.
Jiang Mingxin's breathing suddenly stopped and he felt like his heart was about to stop.
She silently poured all the water in the bucket onto him, then picked up the T-shirt in her hand and hit his burning pants hard.
Han Ge also followed suit, took off his clothes and slapped Xing Haodong.
But a moment later, someone shouted, "The firefighters are coming!"
Jiang Mingxin finally let go of his hand, leaned weakly against Xing Haodong, and squatted down.
Xing Haodong glanced at Sister Hong and Brother Han, and after making sure they were fine, he immediately hugged Jiang Mingxin in his arms, blocking everyone's view.
Jiang Mingxin gasped for breath, grabbed Xing Haodong's arm, and looked him up and down.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he found that he only had a few burns on his skin.
"You scared me to death. You really...scared me to death."
Jiang Mingxin fell headfirst onto his chest. The fear that she had just suppressed now gushed out like a flood, breaking through her steel-like dam.
She was extremely scared. What if Xing Haodong really died in there? Wouldn't she feel guilty for the rest of her life?
Fortunately, God had eyes and did not send the man who was brought back to life by her butterfly wings back.
Xing Haodong was also breathing heavily, his heart pounding like a drum, but his feelings were completely different from Jiang Mingxin's.
Not only were there five hundred antelopes running back and forth on his heart, but there were also hundreds of groundhogs with their claws extended, digging at his heart non-stop.
At this moment, their skin was touching each other in 360 degrees without any dead angle. Jiang Mingxin was only wearing a shirt, while he was shirtless.
