Chapter 61 Rescue

It takes more than an hour to drive from Huayue Building to Chenghai Road, but Yao Ping managed to shorten the time to 40 minutes. However, when he arrived, the fire had already spread to the upper floors, and the room where Jiang Wu lived was completely inaccessible. The firefighters could only use fire pumps to spray water on the upper floors to put out the fire.

As soon as the two men passed by, they were stopped outside by firefighters. Yao Ping immediately explained Han Zhong's identity, and the firefighters withdrew their hands instantly, but still kept their arms open to prevent him from passing.

"The fire is too big. If you get too close you'll get hurt!"

"Where are the people?" Han Zhong looked at the building surrounded by flames, his voice trembling, "Where are the people inside? Have they been rescued?"

"The fire is too big, we can't go in to rescue for now..."

The firefighter turned around and looked at the fire behind him, but he didn't hold out much hope. Based on past experience, the people inside were probably dead.

Han Zhong froze there, recalling the image of Jiang Wu walking into the building that night, and clenched his fists tightly.

"I am a retired soldier. I am in good physical condition and can climb in from the balcony by climbing the rope."

Han Zhong had already taken off his suit jacket and tie as he spoke, and the firefighter's eyes widened. "...You want to crawl in there by yourself?!"

"No!" Yao Ping immediately retorted, "Boss Han, calm down! Don't you say that professional matters should be left to professionals? If something happens to you——"

Han Zhong threw away his coat and pushed him away, looking at the firefighter, "Do you have a rope?"

Naturally, the firefighters would not let him go in. Not to mention the president of Huayue, they would never let any ordinary citizen go in to save people.

As the two sides were arguing over how to stop the attack, the crowd watching behind them suddenly shouted in surprise: "Someone has gone in!"

The firefighter was shocked and looked back quickly.

Han Zhong also looked up and saw a familiar figure rushing to the burning building with a bundle of ropes. He swung the rope around twice and then threw it upwards.

The rope accurately entangled the clothesline built by the neighboring resident on the sixth floor. The figure grabbed the remaining rope and leaped up, climbing to the sixth floor at an astonishing speed in front of everyone's astonished eyes.

The crowd watching cried out in surprise when they saw this scene, and many of them raised their cell phones to record the incident.

Only Han Zhong looked at the familiar figure with bloodshot eyes and shouted angrily: "Jiang Wu!!! Get the fuck down here!"

“…”

The sound shook Yao Ping and the firefighter beside him so much that they trembled all over. The sound also reached Jiang Wu's ears who had just climbed to the sixth floor. He looked back in confusion, but saw only a crowd of people and fire trucks.

Strange, why do I seem to hear Han Zhong’s voice?

But thinking that Han Zhong would not appear here, Jiang Wu did not think much, loosened the rope and jumped, grabbed the edge of the balcony of his rented house with both hands, and then exerted force with his arms to push his body up and successfully flipped onto the balcony.

The scorching heat hit my face, and red flames rushed from the living room to the balcony.

"The gods are at my service, and the stars are out of my way.

As he chanted the spell, Jiang Wu made a seal with his right hand in front of his chest, and the tongue of fire that was blowing towards his face seemed to hit an invisible barrier and suddenly stopped in mid-air.

Next, with every step Jiang Wu took closer, the fierce tongue of fire that was swooping towards him would retreat a step, until Jiang Wu walked safely into the living room, completely surrounded by flames from all directions, as if he had stepped into a sea of ​​fire.

The next second, the cocoon wrapped in flames emitted a circle of golden-red light, and the sea of ​​fire was shattered into countless fragments, which dissipated in the hot air, revealing Jiang Wu's figure.

This was the last scene Zhang Xiaoyu saw before he lost consciousness. The shock in his heart disappeared from his consciousness along with his blurred vision.

When Jiang Wu carried the person back, he found that the rope had been burned. Fortunately, the fire had been basically under control. The firefighters set up a fire truck and successfully took the unconscious Zhang Xiaoyu down.

When Jiang Wu went down, he saw Han Zhong with a face full of anger, as expected.

“…”

He suddenly realized that he seemed to have heard Han Zhong calling him earlier, and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Han Zhong said nothing as he walked step by step towards Jiang Wu and looked at the innocent-looking young man in front of him. His clenched hands turned white from excessive force and the blue veins on the back of his hands were trembling slightly.

Jiang Wu looked at the gloom and anger in his dark eyes and silently took a step back, "...I saved someone."

Han Zhong gritted his teeth, but in the end he didn't scold him. Instead, he asked, "Does it hurt anywhere?"

Jiang Wu shook his head, "No."

"good."

Han Zhong gritted his teeth and said, then without hesitation, he lifted up the back of his clothes and said, "Come with me!"

Jiang Wu: “…”

Zhou Changming, who had watched the entire process since he got off the bus, looked in amazement at Jiang Wu being carried away by the furious Han Zhong, and looked at Yao Ping in confusion, "Why is Han Zhong here?"

"President Han learned about the fire at Mr. Jiang's residence right after the meeting, and he couldn't get through to Mr. Jiang on the phone, so he rushed here."

"I remember it took more than an hour to drive here from Huayue? You guys came so quickly?"

"...Boss Han asked me to drive here at a speed that would cost me my driver's license." Yao Ping sighed, "Boss Han even asked me to run a red light."

Zhou Changming was a little bit unbelieving, "Really?"

Outsiders think that Han Zhong was born in the Han family, and they all imagine him to be a domineering president who overrides the law. But in fact, Han Zhong has been very strict since he was a child. Not to mention breaking the law like other rich kids, he has never even run a red light. He was an active member of the party in college. He is simply righteous to the point of being evil.

Because of this, he could not play with other children from aristocratic families. Everyone thought he was hypocritical and unsociable. But only Zhou Changming knew that Han Zhong was not pretending, but really followed the social rules to a pathological degree.

Such a person actually ran a red light one day and almost had an argument with the firefighters just now, and all this was for Jiang Wu.

Zhou Changming suddenly remembered what Jiang Wu said in the car, and his expression became a little subtle. Good guy, so it’s not unrequited love at all, but mutual love?

Yao Ping hurriedly said goodbye to Zhou Changming, rushed back to drive his boss and his boss's savior, and took them all the way to Hualing Hospital.

Yao Ping didn't dare to say a word along the way because the air pressure in the car was too low. The boss's face was so gloomy that it seemed like tears were dripping from his eyes. The culprit next to him was actually distracted by the scenery outside the window.

Jiang Wu was certainly not distracted. He was thinking about how to deceive Han Zhong by saying that he had rushed into the fire. If he had known that Han Zhong was there, he would have chosen to go around to the back and use Qinggong to get up. It didn't matter if he went slowly. Anyway, Zhang Xiaoyu was wearing the amulet he gave him, so it was not a big deal.
