“Fire!”
“Oh my god! Fire! Fire!”
“Run!”
As the crowd continued to shout, Mu Anan instantly tensed up.
She quickly walked to the door.
As soon as she opened the door, she could feel the heat coming at her. The entire corridor was chaotic, and the stretch of room doors was open.
People were rushing out of their rooms.
They were all running for their lives!
The situation became tense and perturbed as the heat continued to sweep over.
Mu Anan also noticed a fire light in Room 801, which was the room next to hers, causing the heat on her side to keep rising.
Mu Anan turned around and shouted at Chen Hua, “Go!”
Chen Hua stood there in a daze. When she heard Mu Anan’s words, she finally reacted and ran toward Mu Anan.
Mu Anan ran out of the room, heading toward the emergency exit passage. However, she suddenly turned back after a few steps and looked at the tightly shut Room 804. She rushed over and banged on the door.
“There’s fire, quickly go.”
There was no response, so Mu Anan kicked the door.
She kicked the door several times before there was a reaction.
A fat man rushed over and opened the door.
Mu Anan turned around without even looking at him.
However, she realized that Chen Hua had been standing behind her. When Mu Anan turned around, she grabbed Mu Anan and ran toward the emergency exit passage.
‘Boom!’
An explosion sounded behind Mu Anan and Chen Hua.
The two of them ran fast, so they were not impacted.
When Mu Anan turned around, Room 801’s door had been blown away. The crazy flames were like a ferocious beast roaring.
With a howl, it went crazy and started to spread.
Someone who was standing nearby was instantly engulfed by the flames. He screamed and shouted, and his entire body burned. In the chaos, he broke through the glass and fell.
“Hurry up and leave!”
Chen Hua kept dragging Mu Anan along.
The flames in Room 801 stopped after a wave of explosions. Then, some flames burned in the direction of Room 800.
After Mu Anan saw the people from Room 804 rush out, she did not care any longer and followed Chen Hua to the emergency exit passage.
Many people were at the emergency exit passage, all heading down for their safety.
Right then, the fire source had only blown up the area between Room 801 and Room 800. It had not fully exploded, so it was the best time to escape.
Mu Anan didn’t overthink. She held hands with Chen Hua and ran down with the crowd.
The 8th floor wasn’t very high, and with their escaping speed, they quickly rushed out.
Many people had already gathered outside Jiang Capital. The alarm rang everywhere, indicating that the supervisor was about to arrive.
Chen Hua held her knees with both hands and panted heavily. She felt lucky that she had survived a disaster.
Mu Anan looked at the building and saw that the fire had started in Room 801 on the 8th floor. At that moment, flames were constantly bursting out of Room 801’s windows. Even Room 800, Room 799, and so on were on fire. Thick smoke spread throughout Jiang Capital.
The screams and shouts of the crowd never stopped.
Mu Anan clenched her fist and coughed non-stop. She coughed so hard that tears were streaming down her face.
However, the area between her throat and lungs was still itchy and uncomfortable.
“Here.” Chen Hua handed Mu Anan a bottle of mineral water.
Mu Anan took it and was about to drink it, but she stopped when she saw that the cap had been opened.
Chen Hua had always been sensitive, so she naturally noticed such a subtle movement. She did not say much and gave the unopened bottle to Mu Anan.
She pointed over there, “There are several boxes of water over there. They’re for the people who escaped.”
Mu Anan didn’t say anything. She opened the cap and took a big gulp before feeling much better.
She and Chen Hua stood at a safe spot outside Jiang Capital. Both stopped coughing and had finished drinking, but they didn’t know what to say.
A silent awkwardness spread.
Mu Anan didn’t want to say anything more. She stared at the entrance of Jiang Capital, waiting for Jiang Qin to run out.
At the same time, she subconsciously touched her hair, wanting to take off the hair clip and hide it. It was a little chaotic, and she was afraid she would lose it.
However…
When Mu Anan touched her hair, she realized there was nothing on it.
In the next second, Mu Anan’s mind went blank, and her scalp went numb.
She looked at Chen Hua and grabbed her arm, “Is there anything on my hair?”
Chen Hua looked lost, “There’s nothing.”
Mu Anan’s entire body began to go numb, and her fear overwhelmed her.
She wasn’t afraid when the fire broke out. She wasn’t afraid when she saw people jumping out of the window from the fire.
However, the lingering fear began to rise when she realized the hair clip might have been lost in the fire.
Mu Anan’s hand that was holding Chen Hua started to tremble.
The bottle of mineral water in her hand fell to the ground. The water splashed when it fell because she didn’t tighten the cap.
Mu Anan wanted to take out her phone from her pocket, but she couldn’t find anything. Chen Hua had thrown her phone on the floor.
Mu Anan reached for Chen Hua’s phone, turned on the camera to take a picture of her hair, and confirmed that the hair clip she wore had been lost.
After confirming that, Mu Anan did not hesitate to return the phone to Chen Hua and rushed to the entrance of Jiang Capital.
“Anan!”
Chen Hua was taken aback by Mu Anan’s behavior. She rushed over and grabbed Mu Anan’s arm, “What are you doing? The fire is starting to spread!”
Mu Anan did not have the time to explain to Chen Hua. She shook off Chen Hua’s hand and rushed into Jiang Capital.
“Anan!”
“Mu Anan!”
Chen Hua kept shouting from behind, but Mu Anan could not hear her.
She only had one thought in her mind. The hair clip!
The hair clip was inside!
She had to find the hair clip. It was a gift from Seventh Master.
That contained Seventh Master’s feelings. The entire Yuyuan Estate was on it.
Seventh Master had given her the Yuyuan Estate and the entire world high up in the sky. She couldn’t lose it.
She couldn’t lose the world and the Yuyuan Estate that Zong Zhengyu had given her.
Absolutely not!
With that thought in mind, Mu Anan rushed up the emergency exit passage that she had escaped from.
The fire was getting more severe.
The fire spread far faster than the speed of people escaping. From Room 801 as the source, the surroundings were already engulfed in flames.
Everyone rushed down with all their might, except for Mu Anan, who rushed up to the 8th floor.
She had been staring at the ground all the way, looking for traces of the hair clip!
Mu Anan was not sure if she had dropped it when she was escaping or if she had dropped it in Room 802.
If it were in Room 802, the flames would have burned the hair clip into ashes.
That made Mu Anan even more anxious.
She did not find it along the way on the staircase. Mu Anan reached the 8th floor and rushed out from the emergency exit passage. However, she bumped into someone who was rushing to the exit, and they took a few steps back.
The impact wasn’t big, so they didn’t fall.
However, when Mu Anan looked up and saw that the person she had bumped into was a naked woman, surprise flashed across her eyes..
