Chan Sheng was busy dealing with a group of reporters, so naturally he had no time to pay attention to what was happening on his boss' side.

The four people who had been trapped in the fire for seven or eight minutes groped their way into the bathroom amid the thick smoke at the last moment. There were explosives outside the house and thick smoke inside. Even with a fire truck, it would be a drop in the bucket.

But thankfully, there was water in the tap!

Master Huiwu wet his clothes, tore off a piece of cloth, dipped it in water, wrung it dry, and asked Meng Shuo to cover his mouth and nose with it. Lu Cenyan and Yin Jiu closed the door and wet their coats to block the gap in the door.

The situation was very bad. She looked around and saw that there was only one window above her head in the bathroom, and there was thick smoke outside, blocking her entire view. The originally blue sky was completely covered by the smoke.

She couldn't guarantee that she would survive if she got out, but if she stayed here she would definitely die without a burial place.

No matter what, she had no way out.

"Let's take a gamble and jump directly from the window above?"

As he spoke, Yin Jiu pointed to the top of his head.

Time waits for no one, Lu Cenyan moved the washing machine next to the sink to under the window.

The window above their heads was about two meters high. If Meng Shuo was okay, everyone might be able to climb out directly, but with an additional patient, the remaining three could only find a way to get him out first.

"Don't worry about me...just go..."

His voice sounded dry and hoarse, and his lips were a little peeling and cracked due to lack of water and the scorching heat.

"You have to come with us."

Although Yin Jiu knew that now was not the time to act on impulse and that abandoning Meng Shuo and the others might give them a glimmer of hope, he had just blocked a bullet for himself and he could not leave a living person here.

"I'm afraid I can't hold on any longer..."

Meng Shuo could feel his blood draining away bit by bit. The burning sensation from the high temperature made him dehydrated. Due to excessive blood loss and gunshot wounds, his internal organs felt like they were burned by fire.

He had a feeling that he couldn't hold on any longer.

"If I die... all my inheritance will be given to Ah Xiang..."

Lu Cenyan couldn't listen any longer, he interrupted Meng Shuo's remaining words: "Take back your last words!"

Yin Jiu rarely saw Lu Cenyan speaking in such a harsh tone.

Meng Shuo laughed when he heard this. He closed his eyes and lay on the ground, waiting for death to come. He enjoyed the hard-earned relaxation at this rare moment: "After I die... bury me with Meng Yi so that I will have a companion on the road..."

"Forget it, he's annoying me anyway."

Meng Shuo talked a lot, but it seemed like he didn't say anything.

Yin Jiu always felt that time was very long, but only a few dozen seconds had passed.

Lu Cenyan took down the outside window directly, and then he could see the scene below clearly.

Although the surrounding area was also burning, the situation was much better than inside the house.

This is the first floor, and nothing will happen if you jump down.

But the current situation is that Meng Yi doesn’t know where he buried the explosives.

The window opening is a square, just enough for one person to pass through.

Lu Cenyan made a prompt decision and asked Master Huiwu to jump down first to meet the challenge, while he himself sent Meng Shuo out.

At this time, the fire had already burned in, and the wet clothes pressed against the door crack were also dried.

The water pipe must have been burned and not a drop of water is flowing out.

Master Huiwu was not polite. He knew that if he delayed for even a second longer, he might be in danger.

Stepping on the lid of the washing machine, he successfully climbed to the window and jumped directly down from a height of two meters.

Lu Yi, who was putting out a fire outside, was extremely surprised when he found someone jumping out of the window.

The greenery outside had all been set on fire, so they couldn't get close, and the circle inside the greenery was Master Huiwu.

Lu Qi called on everyone else to push all the water toward the outside of the window, trying to put out the fire around the greenery and clear a way out for the people inside.

After Master Huiwu landed, Lu Cenyan and Yin Jiu sent Meng Shuo to the window together.

The fire outside the door spread in, and the heat waves rolled in as if they were going to roast people.

The ceiling light in the bathroom had fallen off the ceiling.

After confirming that Meng Shuo had gone down, Lu Cenyan reached out to Yin Jiu and pulled her up first.

Just getting on top of Meng Shuo, a grown man, had already consumed too much energy, and now Yin Jiu felt dizzy.

She forced herself to go up and pushed Lu Cenyan.

"You go first."

Only one person jumps at a time, and one of the two must go first.

The door panel made a crackling sound, and the wall paint was falling off piece by piece.

Lu Cenyan was reluctant to leave first: "I'm worried about leaving you alone, I'll take you upstairs."

The distance is two meters, and even with a washing machine as a stepping stone, you still need to hold on to get up.

The wall was very smooth. Under normal circumstances, Yin Jiu would have been able to climb up easily. But now she was exhausted, panicked, and the wall was hot and filled with smoke. It was a bit difficult for her to climb up without any help.

Lu Cenyan still had some strength left, and he could leave by himself now. If he helped himself up, not only would he waste his energy and time, but he might also be in danger of suffocation if he stayed here.

"I'm fine on my own, you go down first!"

Although she was obviously very tired, she still pretended to be nonchalant.

"You just came down to dismantle windows and move things. You've used up so much energy that I should be worried about you."

There was no point in arguing, so Lu Cenyan decisively picked her up and sent Yin Jiu up first.

A second before she was pushed down, she saw chunks of debris falling down from the ceiling.

She didn't even have time to warn him before Lu Cenyan pushed her down...

She hit her head when she landed, and the second before she closed her eyes, she heard an explosion coming from the apartment and shouts from all around.

"Beicheng Evening News, regarding the investigation results of the explosion in the city three months ago, a factory owner named Meng had a large amount of fireworks stored at home. He accidentally ignited the screen window while smoking, causing a series of explosions in the apartment. Several friends who were visiting Meng's home were unfortunately injured. Meng died on the spot due to his serious injuries..."

In the hospital, Yin Tongyao turned off the TV, her eyes fell on Yin Jiu, and she sighed softly.

The true circumstances of the explosion three months ago were concealed by the Shen family, who only announced to the public that the fire was caused by someone who had stored a large number of firecrackers at home and ignited them.

Because they were stopped outside, the group of reporters didn't take any pictures. In order to get the job done, they had to rely on Mr. Shen to make up all the information.

Fortunately, this reason was not far-fetched and many people believed it.

Of course, some people suspected that there was something fishy going on, but these comments were dealt with.

Someone in the northern city area has stockpiled hundreds of kilograms of explosives. If this gets out, it will not only cause panic, but may also attract some people with ulterior motives.

If the emperor fired a gun, it would be a slap in the face of the Shen family if this got out.

Instead, it indirectly tells everyone that everyone's safety cannot be guaranteed here, and if someone deliberately stirs up confrontation, it will be trouble.
