Wen Yanqing found Lin Gantang on the second floor. She had her eyes closed and was unconscious. The flames were licking at the surroundings and the hanging sunlight lamp fell. Wen Yanqing unhesitatingly rushed forward to protect her. The corner of the lamp hit his head and Wen Yanqing’s view blurred. The intense pain shot through his body and his view turned a misty red.
He gritted his teeth, picked Lin Gantang up, and rushed out.
The second he left, flames rose behind him, and the smoke suddenly grew.
Suddenly, a piece of glass exploded under the high temperature, and shards flew out and cut Wen Yanqing’s face. He couldn’t care less about himself and ran for the exit with all his might.
Blood trickled down his face, and the burnt skin on his arm was in excruciating pain. However, he hugged Lin Gantang tightly. Even if his arm was broken, he would not let go.
He felt a sharp pain in his head, and his strength was slowly draining away. His vision became increasingly blurry. He endured it and dashed out of the bookstore.
Not long after, with the fierce fire, the sound of objects collapsing could be heard. The raging flames swallowed all the things in its path, and surging heat waves rushed out.
Wen Yanqing’s consciousness gradually faded and he fell to the side of the road. However, he still hugged Lin Gantang firmly and did not let go.
When those outside saw that someone had escaped from the fire, they came forward to help. “Hurry, call for an ambulance!”
“Quick, who knows first aid!”
“Who knows how long the ambulance will take? I have a car here. Hurry up and help me carry them!”
“Oh my god, there’s really someone inside.”
“This young man doesn’t care about his life. He really doesn’t care. He even dares to barge into a place that’s on fire.”
“What a sin! Why is it on fire? My shop’s stuff!”
“You’re lucky that you’re fine. How can external objects compare to your life? If it wasn’t for that young man just now, the girl inside would definitely be gone.” Many people sighed.
Hejiang Road caught fire and burned down several shops. Firefighters rushed to put out the fire, leaving only the dark frame of the shops.
People found a few cats that had escaped. One of them was particularly ugly. The flesh on its right front leg was melted and it was trembling in pain. It lay in front of the burnt shop and refused to leave.
“This is a cat from a bookstore. It’s so pitiful. I wonder if any of them were burned to death.”
“When the window broke, someone saw a few cats jump out. I hope they all escaped.”
When the Lin family received the news, they rushed over. At that moment, Lin Gantang was in the emergency room.
“The patient has fainted from smoke inhalation. Emergency treatment is underway.” A nurse who came out of the emergency room informed them of the situation.
“How is she?” Mr. Lin asked anxiously. “Is her life in danger?”
“The doctor will do his best to help the patient out of danger. Currently, her condition is relatively stable.” The nurse looked at the others and asked, “Is the family of the young man who was sent to the hospital together here?”
“His father is on his way. He hasn’t arrived yet. How is Yanqing?” Mr. Lin asked.
“His condition is rather critical. He needs to undergo surgery immediately. The surgery requires the signature of the patient’s family. Please contact a patient’s family member to come over as soon as possible.”
Wen Rendong hurried over from the private hospital and signed the surgery notice as soon as he arrived. He walked in speedily, and the wound from before was aching faintly. He endured it and sat down to ask about the fire.
Lin Zhaonan frowned. “The cause of the fire is still being investigated. When Tangtang wakes up, I’ll go and ask the person in charge of the investigation.”
“Go now,” Mr. Lin said. “I’ll be here at the hospital. If there’s any problem, I’ll call you. Go over there and take a look.”
Lin Zhaonan nodded..
