He reacted quickly and rushed over, pulling hard on the door, which was indeed locked.
Remembering the old man's instructions not to make too much noise, Da Tou hesitated. Would kicking the door make too much noise?
Shen Yanqing squinted at the window and keenly smelled the gasoline fumes in the air.
Gu Baiwei also smelled it, and could even faintly see the flames.
Suddenly, with a whoosh, flames shot up high, and the fire outside could be clearly seen through the crack in the door, with flames spreading in through the crack.
"Boss, something terrible has happened! There's a fire outside!"
Once Da Tou realized what was happening, he couldn't care less about anything else and immediately started kicking the door hard.
But after kicking it for a short while, they found that the door was getting hotter and hotter, and they could feel the heat outside through their shoes.
As Gu Baiwei watched the fire spread, the terrifying memories of her past life overlapped with the scene before her.
She felt as if she were still in that airtight sightseeing cable car, surrounded by desperate cries and pleas for help.
Her body was trembling uncontrollably, but she knew very well that being afraid wouldn't solve anything.
She bit her tongue hard, and the pain gradually cleared her muddled mind.
She mustered her strength, took out her phone to call for emergency help, but found that her phone had no signal.
Shen Yanqing and Da Tou checked their phones and found the same thing.
It is obvious that someone deliberately set fire outside and also placed a signal jammer inside the funeral home.
Seeing the fire outside growing ever stronger, Shen Yanqing looked at the window behind him and said, "Let's go through the window."
Although this is the third floor, there is a certain risk in jumping down, but we can't worry about anything else right now.
Da Tou walked over and pushed the window, only to find it locked. He couldn't help but curse and smashed the glass with his fist.
With a loud crash, the wind rushed in through the window, and in an instant, the fire inside seemed to intensify. In just a few moments, the door had been completely burned through.
Shen Yanqing reached out and hugged Gu Baiwei, whispering comforting words in her ear: "Weiwei, hold me tight, don't be afraid."
Gu Baiwei hesitated. Although he had carried her down from the second floor before, this was the third floor.
He should be fine on his own, but bringing her along...
Before she could refuse, Shen Yanqing had already forcefully picked her up and jumped out of the window.
Big Head originally wanted to help the boss carry the person, but found that the boss had already gone downstairs, so he hurriedly followed.
The moment they landed, Shen Yanqing reached out and pulled her tightly into his arms. His back slammed heavily onto the ground with a muffled groan.
Fortunately, when the two landed, they first bumped into a flower bed nearby to cushion their fall, which prevented them from being seriously injured.
Gu Baiwei quickly helped Shen Yanqing up from the ground: "Are you alright? Where did you fall?"
"It's nothing, I just bumped my back, it's not serious."
Seeing that he looked completely normal, Gu Baiwei was finally relieved.
The wind picked up, and the fire at the funeral home grew stronger and stronger, turning the entire second floor into a sea of flames.
Gu Baiwei tried it, and her phone did get a signal after she came out.
He quickly dialed the fire department and emergency number, briefly explaining the situation at the scene.
Seeing that Gu Baiwei's complexion was not good, Shen Yanqing told Da Tou to stay at the scene and keep an eye on Xia Zhenzhen's body, and then took Gu Baiwei away.
The car sped along the road, and Gu Baiwei could still see the flames from the funeral home in the distance through the car window.
Thick smoke billowed and flames soared into the sky, but this time she was not trapped in the inferno; someone risked their life to rescue her.
Her gaze involuntarily fell on Shen Yanqing.
A large hand reached out from the side and grasped hers.
Gu Baiwei's cheeks flushed slightly: "Just drive your car properly."
As he was about to pull his hand away, he suddenly heard a very soft groan.
She immediately looked at Shen Yanqing with concern: "What's wrong? Does your back hurt?"
Shen Yanqing curled the corners of her lips: "As long as you don't move around, I'll be fine."
Gu Baiwei glared at him: "What time is it? Stop making jokes like this. Stop the car right now, let me take a look."
"It's nothing, just a minor scratch."
Such injuries were commonplace in the past, and Shen Yanqing never took them seriously.
But Gu Bai didn't think so, and told him to stop the car in a very firm tone.
Fearing that she would be angry and ignore him, Shen Yanqing eventually parked the car on the side of the road.
Gu Baiwei had him sit sideways, and carefully reached out to lift the back of his shirt to check.
What catches the eye is a patch of crimson on fair skin. There aren't many broken skin areas, but you can clearly see that the entire reddened area on the back is swollen, indicating that the injury has penetrated deeper.
Her eyes instantly welled up with tears. If he had jumped down alone, he certainly wouldn't have been injured like this.
Shen Yanqing waited for a long time without hearing any movement. When he turned around, he saw that Gu Baiwei's eyes were red at the corners, and she had obviously been crying. He immediately felt a little flustered.
I quickly grabbed a tissue to wipe her tears.
"It's all my fault, otherwise you wouldn't be injured like this."
Gu Baiwei's voice was choked with sobs, filled with self-reproach.
Shen Yanqing stared at her fair face, which was streaked with tears. She gently bit her cherry-red lips with her pearly teeth, looking extremely pitiful.
With a slight thought, he slowly lowered his head and leaned closer: "Weiwei, if you really feel guilty, then how about you make it up to me?"
Gu Baiwei looked up through teary eyes, meeting his burning gaze. Her face flushed instantly, and she quickly looked away, saying, "This...this won't do, let's go back first..."
Before she could finish speaking, the person opposite her reached out and pressed the back of her head, his long, slender fingers lifting her chin without a word, and then leaned down to kiss her.
Gu Baiwei was stunned for a moment. Thinking that this person had almost lost his life for her sake, she felt both heartache and sadness.
After a moment's hesitation, she awkwardly took the initiative to hook her arms around his neck and their lips intertwined.
Sensing her initiative, Shen Yanqing's heart began to pound uncontrollably.
For a moment, the night outside the car was quiet, and the car was silent, with only the sound of their intertwined breaths, ambiguous and passionate, audible.
The two were deeply in love when suddenly there was a loud bang from the roof of the car, as if something had fallen onto it.
The sudden noise broke the romantic atmosphere in the carriage. Shen Yanqing frowned in displeasure, released the person, and straightened his somewhat disheveled clothes: "You stay in the carriage, I'll go down and take a look."
After saying that, he picked up the flashlight, opened the door, and got out of the car.
Shen Yanqing stood by the car, raised her flashlight and shone it on the roof, but found nothing there.
Just as I was wondering what was going on, something brushed against my calf, and I looked down abruptly.
In the pitch-black night, a pair of green eyes stared back at him. By the light of a flashlight, Shen Yanqing could see what was at his feet.
It was a completely black cat, without a single blemish.
