Jiang Yilai's head was buzzing, and her hands began to tremble uncontrollably. What was going on?
She only realized her legs were weak when she stepped on the gas pedal, and she couldn't make a sound when she opened her mouth to speak.
The car behind her honked to remind her that the light had turned green, but she just couldn't bring herself to press the accelerator.
Suddenly, the cell phone on the passenger seat rang. Jiang Yilai hurriedly picked it up; it was Sun Yufei calling.
She quickly answered the phone and heard crying coming from the other end.
"Lai Lai, something happened to Brother Chen. His colleague just called to tell me that a collapse occurred while they were on a mission. I'm on my way to the hospital."
Jiang Yilai's heart clenched, and she asked with difficulty, "Is it a fire scene?"
“Yes, they said the fire was too serious. He rushed in to save people but got trapped. They also said the situation was very dangerous... Come and stay with me, I'm so scared.”
It really was a fire!
Jiang Yilai felt like she couldn't breathe properly, and she managed to reply with difficulty when she heard Sun Yufei crying.
"Yufei, listen to me. Officer Luo went to the Fu family's old house."
Sun Yufei was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then asked nervously, "What do you mean? What about you guys?"
Jiang Yilai responded with a sob in her voice: "I was tricked out by Li Luyao, and I just got back to the intersection. I saw... I saw flames shooting into the sky ahead, so I'm sorry, I can't come over!"
At this point, Jiang Yilai couldn't continue, and Sun Yufei was also somewhat at a loss.
She suppressed her own distress and comforted her, "Lai Lai, don't panic. Maybe the situation isn't so bad. I heard that many people have been rescued. You should go and check on them."
"Okay, I'll be right there. Contact me if anything happens."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yilai took a few deep breaths to keep herself calm. It was especially important at this time that she couldn't let herself panic.
She restarted the car, but when she reached the intersection ahead, there was a police line and the car couldn't pass, so she had to get out and walk across.
Jiang Yilai wanted to run, but her steps just wouldn't go faster.
The fire was so intense that anyone who got close felt like they were about to melt.
Jiang Yilai saw from afar that the old house was surrounded by fire trucks, and several ambulances waiting for rescue were also parked there.
She moved forward stiffly, but was stopped by the police.
"Miss, please step back. There is a fire ahead, which is very dangerous."
Jiang Yilai asked excitedly, "My husband and child are inside. Were they rescued?"
"I'm sorry, the situation is quite serious, and there are quite a few people involved. We don't have an accurate count yet. You can ask the medical team at the front for more information."
"Thank you, you've worked hard." Jiang Yilai used all her willpower to run forward.
When she arrived at the medical team's office and saw the nurses registering information, she rushed forward as if possessed, snatched the registration book, and wanted to see a familiar name on it.
"Where is Nan Xiao? And his child? Why isn't he on the list?"
She excitedly flipped through the register but couldn't find the person. The nurse, who had calmed down, quickly snatched the register away from her.
"Who are you? How dare you steal my things?"
Jiang Yilai didn't care about her image at this moment. She grabbed the nurse's hand in a panic, tears streaming down her face. She opened her mouth several times but couldn't say a word.
It took her a while to manage to speak, and she gestured as she tried: "My family is inside. I want to know if they've been rescued. I have two five-year-old children."
