Qi Zhiyang suddenly opened his eyes. He felt that the temperature around him was off, and the strong smell of smoke was really choking.
He immediately got up and saw flames outside the window: their house was on fire.
He immediately turned and went to Lin Zhiluo's room: "Luoluo, wake up quickly."
Lin Zhiluo slowly opened her eyes after hearing Qi Zhiyang's voice; she was very sleepy.
Upon opening her eyes, she immediately sensed something was wrong; it was incredibly pungent. She heard crackling sounds from above; the house appeared to be made of brick and tile, but the beams were made of wood.
Without thinking, she rushed out: "Brother, it's on fire!"
Seeing that she was awake and able to run, Qi Zhiyang breathed a sigh of relief.
"The fire at the door is a bit big, and the door is made of wood. I'll go first...you." Qi Zhiyang hadn't finished speaking yet. He wanted to say that he would rush over first so that Lin Zhilu could find a chance to escape.
Lin Zhilu kicked the wooden door, and it collapsed with a thud.
Lin Zhiluo turned around and shouted, "Run!"
Holy crap!
Who is it?
The two had just rushed out when, before they could even catch their breath, two buckets of water were splashed in front of them, leaving them nowhere to hide.
Lin Zhiluo and Qi Zhiyang were not burned in the fire, but after coming out, they were doused with two buckets of water.
Zhu Yuanliang was woken up by the staff. After the staff on the night shift discovered the fire, they immediately woke everyone up, and then everyone came with buckets of water to put out the fire.
Inside are Lin Zhiluo and Qi Zhiyang. Lin Zhiluo is currently the most popular female celebrity. She single-handedly brought down a powerful actor and a master who escaped unscathed.
Needless to say, Qi Zhiyang is not only the financial backer of their program, but also the head of a huge corporation. If anything happens to either of them, the entire program will be finished.
They poured water on the house, but unexpectedly two people rushed out of the flames.
The staff member was so startled that he swore, and Lin Zhiluo subconsciously asked who it was.
There was a moment of silence in the room.
"Are you alright? Are you hurt? Do you need to go to the hospital?" Zhu Yuanliang didn't even care about his disheveled clothes.
Lin Zhiluo's gaze suddenly turned to the left, and she didn't take her eyes off that spot.
Qi Zhiyang strode over, and Zhu Yuanliang followed with his men.
The four people hiding there suddenly panicked. They had to see Lin Zhiluo come out with their own eyes; they couldn't get involved in a murder case.
They're hiding in a good spot; they won't be discovered as long as they don't make a sound.
"Li Rui, let's run!" Xin Na said as she saw him walking straight towards her.
The four of them turned around together, and they were surrounded by the production crew before they had run far.
Qi Zhiyang glanced at the four people and looked at Cai Guanghe a few more times. He had seen this child a few times before. When Old Cai brought him to the Qi family before, the child was well-behaved.
"Cai Guanghe, what are you doing here? What does this fire have to do with you?"
"Uncle Qi!" Cai Guanghe panicked a little, he hadn't heard that Qi Zhiyang was also on the show.
"Guanghe, do you know this man?" Zhou Fan sensed something was wrong. He had just seen this man come out of the house with Lin Zhiluo.
Seeing Cai Guanghe's fearful expression, the remaining three all felt that they were doomed.
"I know him." Cai Guanghe felt that his future was bleak. If his parents found out what he had done, his legs would be broken.
He stepped forward and said ingratiatingly, "Uncle Qi, could you please not tell my parents?"
Qi Zhiyang looked at him calmly, his emotions unreadable to the four children: "So, you set the house on fire?"
“We’ll compensate you, Uncle Qi.” Cai Guanghe glanced at the burning house. The house looked older than his grandfather, so he figured he could just pay some compensation.
"Cen Qi, call the police," he ordered coldly.
"Uncle Qi?" Cai Guanghe looked at Qi Zhiyang in disbelief.
"You told me not to tell your parents, so I'll tell the police." With that, he turned and left.
Lin Zhiluo was wrapped in a blanket provided by the production team. The weather was dry, and the fire was already quite large when they ran out.
The whole house is burning now, and it's beyond saving.
"Achoo!" Lin Zhilu sneezed.
Cen Qi was staying in a place arranged by the production team in the village. He shared a room with Lin Zhiluo's manager, Lin Zhiluo. He was researching information, so he hadn't gone to sleep yet. When he heard that a guest's house in the village had caught fire, he immediately thought of Lin Zhiluo.
She offended Fan Guang today; what if it's his fans retaliating?
When he arrived and saw the boss and Master Lin rushing out, noticing that their clothes were soaked, he immediately contacted his assistant to bring over the boss's clothes. As for Master Lin's clothes, he instructed that they be bought a size too big rather than a size too small.
"Should we go to the hospital?" Qi Zhiyang frowned when he saw her sneeze.
"No, it's nothing, it's just that my clothes were all burned." She said with some regret.
Qi Zhiyang glanced at the production crew: "Given today's situation, we definitely can't sleep here anymore. Why don't I take Miss Lin away to rest first? We'll be back for the live broadcast tomorrow morning."
Zhu Yuanliang immediately arranged for someone to book a hotel, the best presidential suite.
"You don't need to come very early tomorrow."
Cen Qi had already driven over, and Qi Zhiyang left with Lin Zhiluo and Ji Yuanzhou.
"Director, those four kids have been taken away, and our variety show is trending again."
Looking at the firelight, Zhu Yuanliang asked incredulously, "We're trending again?"
"yes!"
Zhu Yuanliang: "And what about the ratings?"
"We broke the ratings record long ago, director."
Zhu Yuanliang exclaimed in disbelief: "This is exactly the kind of variety show I wanted—daring to speak out, daring to do things, and generating buzz and discussion!"
He told the assistant director, "You guys handle the aftermath here, contact the homeowner and compensate them as appropriate."
He needs to think carefully about what to do with the variety shows in the future. He knows that following the current model will offend a lot of people, but he is not afraid of that.
"Achoo." Lin Zhilu sneezed again. It had only been two months since the New Year, and the winter chill was still there. It was like a bucket of cold water had been poured on her, and she, a person with a fragile body, was already reacting.
"Achoo!" She sneezed one after another.
Cen Qi immediately said, "I have already contacted the doctor who is waiting at the hotel."
"Mm." Qi Zhiyang nodded.
Ji Yuanzhou, standing to the side, was surprised that Qi Zhiyang had gone to such lengths for Lin Zhiluo. This didn't seem like a hidden rule; he was being far too cautious.
Lin Zhiluo's room was right next to Qi Zhiyang's room, but a change of clothes had already been placed in Lin Zhiluo's room.
She took a hot shower first. The sudden change from hot to cold could easily cause health problems. After she finished showering, there was a knock on the door.
"This is ginger soup. Drink it and you'll get a good night's sleep. Call me if you feel unwell."
Lin Zhiluo downed the drink in one gulp, and Qi Zhiyang was relieved to see that she had finished it.
The police station has called and I heard that the parents of those children have arrived at the station.
Qi Zhiyang drove himself to the police station, leaving Cen Qi at the hotel so he could help Lin Zhiluo if she needed anything.
Cen Qi watched his retreating figure and thought, "He's so considerate." So, does that mean the assistant has to suffer?
