The area that was burned by the fire was getting bigger and bigger. The trees that had grown for more than ten years were instantly swallowed by the flames. The heat wave rushed toward Tan Rou and the others. They could not put out the fire immediately and could only run to the side.
Tan Rou didn’t forget to bring Aunt June with her when she left. She couldn’t let Aunt June be burned to death like this. She still had to take Aunt June to settle the score with Xue Lin. However, Aunt June was burned to such a state and she didn’t know if she could still speak.
When Principal Zhang found out that the school lawn was on fire, his first reaction was that a student was smoking on the lawn, which caused the fire. Just as he was about to curse, he heard the school security personnel say that someone had been burned by the fire.
He really had no place to cry. The explosion had just subsided, and now there was a fire. Moreover, someone had been burned. If this was posted online, he did not know what the netizens outside would say about their school.
Principal Zhang could no longer be bothered to scold the person who set the fire. He had to rush to the scene of the fire as soon as possible and then investigate the cause of the fire. He had to quickly seal the news so that no one outside knew.
By the time Principal Zhang arrived, there were already many students around the fire. They had gotten buckets from somewhere and were all carrying water to put out the fire. Some students even bought mineral water to extinguish the fire. They were really too rich.
Tan Rou was also putting out the fire. If she didn’t suppress the fire, who knew where it would spread to? Not far away was the science and technology building that had been built less than two years ago. If it was burned down again, the school would probably not dare to build a new building.
Principal Zhang also joined the fire fighting team. As he directed the students and security guards who came to put out the fire, he reminded them not to get hurt.
The fire was finally brought under control. By the time the firefighters rushed over, all the trees and flowers in the area had been burned clean.
Tan Rou wiped the dust off her face. She felt that it was a pity that this forest had been growing for so long, but it had been burned down by the fire for more than ten minutes. Moreover, the burnt soil had become scorched. It would probably take several years for it to recover.
Principal Zhang was so tired that his head and body were covered in sweat. He panted heavily. “Where are the injured students?”
A student replied, “She’s lying there. I just called the emergency number. The doctor will be here soon.”
Principal Zhang only felt his head throbbing. He asked, “How’s her injury? Is it serious?”
“I don’t know,” replied the student.
Tan Rou walked over to check on Aunt June’s injuries. Aunt Jun’s entire body was burnt black. Her clothes and skin were stuck together, revealing her red and black flesh. She looked very terrifying.
She squatted down and pressed a few acupuncture points on Aunt Juan’s body. Then, she said, “Don’t touch her anymore. Wait for the doctor to come.”
Principal Zhangwas a little puzzled. “This person doesn’t look like a student.”
Although Aunt Jun was burnt like a black coal ball, some characteristics of her body and her face that hadn’t been burned too badly showed that she wasn’t a young student.
Tan Rou nodded and replied, “This person came from outside the school. She was the one who set the fire this time. Her goal was to burn me to death.”
“Air!” Principal Zhang was so shocked that his mouth was wide open. After a while, he said, “Is she an assassin who came to kill you?”
Although Principal Zhang was just an ordinary principal, he knew many rich and powerful people in the Capital. Those people would bring bodyguards with them when they went out to prevent assassins from assassinating them.
However, Principal Zhang did not expect Tan Rou, a student, to encounter an assassin. Could it be related to her family? The Tao family had offended someone. Did the other party send an assassin to kill Tan Rou?
However, this assassin was a little weak. Not only did he fail to complete the mission, but he also burned himself.
Tan Rou looked at the principal’s expression and knew that he was letting his imagination run wild. She said, “I’m going to call the police. If this brings trouble to the school, I’ll apologize in advance.”
Principal Zhang had yet to react. “Oh, call the police? The problem with the assassin is more serious. The school will fully cooperate and find the mastermind.”
It seemed that the school needed to raise the security level. Otherwise, if anyone could break in and assassinate the students, would there be any safe places in their school?
