Chapter 150: Gu Chu was Rescued
The fire was getting bigger and bigger. Thick smoke billowed up to the ceiling and triggered the fire alarm. The ear-piercing sound of the alarm immediately resounded throughout the entire building!
Gu Chu was overjoyed. It was a success!
The alarm kept ringing and the thick smoke rushed out from the only back window.
All the residents upstairs ran down. “There’s fire! Where did it come from?”
“Sister Yu’s kitchen is on fire! Put it out!”
The commotion outside was getting louder and louder. Gu Chu could hear their discussions from inside. The three people outside the door must be panicking.
Li Xiu urged the other two men. “Hurry up and leave! You can’t let anyone see you!”
Gu Chu and her secretary looked at each other, thinking that they were going to be saved. However, they never expected to hear the sound of a lock.
Gu Chu: “?” Li Xiu locked them up!
Li Xiu was so vicious. She was going to burn them alive!
In this space of less than ten square meters, the fire was spreading rapidly. The worst thing was that under the cloth was a styrofoam box. They were all highly flammable.
The poisonous fume was mixed with thick smoke. Gu Chu and the secretary’s closed their mouths. They couldn’t breathe.
She drooped her eyelids, feeling that she was slowly losing her consciousness.
But, no!
She could not die here!
The fire was so big, someone would definitely come to put it out, so she had to persevere!
She bumped the secretary who was about to faint, and her eyes indicated that she had to pull herself together. She could not die here for no reason!
The secretary could not hold on at first, but seeing her like this, she also had the will to survive. She whimpered twice.
Gu Chu saw a ball of fire in front of her. She stretched out her legs and used the open fire to burn the rope on her legs. She endured the pain of the fire and did not move. She allowed the fire to burn the rope as thick as her thumb.
She wanted to burn the rope on her hands as well, but her hands were tied behind her. She tried several times but failed. Instead, she caused a few blisters on her hands.
It was getting harder and harder for her to breathe. She was about to faint, so she gave up the idea. Fortunately, she could move her feet and walk. She walked to the only back window. She stood on tiptoe and poked her head out of the window to look out.
She could vaguely see that there were many people standing on the opposite road. The fire engine had not arrived yet. There was only one young man who was not very skilled in using a fire extinguisher to put out the fire. There were also people who poured water from a bucket to put out the fire. It looked chaotic.
She whimpered twice and wanted to call for help, but the tape in her mouth muffled her voice. The secretary followed her actions and burned the rope on her leg. She walked to her side and whimpered with her.
Unfortunately, no one looked over.
The thick smoke made it difficult for her to open her eyes. They were reaching their limit. In such a big fire, if they did not cover their mouths and noses with wet rags, it would only be a few minutes before they suffocate and pass out.
Her head sank and she fell unconscious.
She fell to the ground with her eyes half closed. She could feel the fire burning and every breath she took was so difficult. Tears started to flow from the corners of her eyes and many things from the past began to appear in her mind.
It was like a movie. One scene after another was played and finally, it stopped with a pair of cold eyes.
That was Feng Jia’s gaze. When he didn’t smile, he was emotionless, but when he did, he was so good-looking.
When she thought of him, her tears flowed even more fiercely.
He said that he would come to the capital today. She wondered if it was a good time to collect her corpse? She had tried her best to save herself, but she couldn’t’ do it.
“Bang!”
Before she could finish her thoughts, a loud sound came from outside the door. She was shocked.
Then, there was a second sound. She tried to raise her head and look at the door. Was it an illusion?
Soon, there was a third sound. The door was on the verge of collapsing.
Someone had come to save her!
When she realized this, she immediately cried out again!
Finally, after being kicked many times, the door was knocked open!
She was saved…
She closed her eyes in a daze.
Before she completely lost consciousness, she felt her body being picked up by someone and held in their arms. She was constantly being shaken. “Gu Chu! Gu Chu! Gu Chu!”
Each call was more urgent than the last, and it was so familiar..
The sirens outside continued to sound. The firefighters had already arrived at the scene. Feng Jia carried the unconscious Gu Chu and rushed out of the sea of fire. Now, someone exclaimed, “Didn’t they say that there’s no one inside?”
Who said that? Oh, it was Li Xiu.
Feng Jia said to one of the firefighters, “There’s another person inside, right under the window.”
