Chapter 180: Perhaps It Would Be Better If You Died
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lu Xuan had not expected someone to place their life beneath an item. As Jiang Zhi cried for help, she started to be afraid. She turned around and ran towards the residential area, wanting to cry for help, but she stopped after taking one step.
Lu Xuan suddenly stopped. She looked at the fire behind her that was getting bigger and bigger, but there was no one around. A terrifying thought came to her mind. If Jiang Zhi died just like that, wouldn’t it be better? Why should I save her? It would be best if she died!
Lu Xuan feigned ignorance. She staggered back to her room and leaned against the door. Lu Xuan’s legs were a little weak. She squatted on the ground, feeling a little tormented but also thrilled!
No one would know what she did here. As long as Jiang Zhi died, all the pain would be gone…
As the fire spread, it did not take long for someone to notice the situation here.
For a moment, the sound of the fire being put out filled the entire base. The sound of panicked footsteps and continuous shouts.
“Someone! Quickly call the police! Call the fire department!”
“The prop room is on fire. Quickly find a fire extinguisher. Quick! Don’t just stand there, come here!”
Everyone was in a mess. At that time, Lu Xuan slowly walked out of the room. Looking at everyone’s busy figures, her heart was beating violently. Looking at the huge fire, she knew that Jiang Zhi… was definitely dead!
“Is there anyone in there? Who was the first to discover it?” Someone asked.
Lu Xuan’s heart was in her throat again. She walked forward to listen to their conversation and pretended to not know anything.
“I was the first to discover it. I didn’t see anyone enter. Don’t worry, put out the fire first!” The staff members communicated nervously. Everyone tacitly agreed that the first person to discover it must have seen the truth.
“Hey, what happened? Why is there a fire?” Lu Xuan said, sounding horrified. She grabbed a random person and asked, pretending that she had just heard the news.
“We don’t know either. Sister Xuan, the fire is too big over there. Put out the fire. There are fire extinguishers in the walls!” After saying that, she hurried to look for fire extinguishers.
Lu Xuan blended into the crowd and kept her head down. She watched as everyone was putting out the fire anxiously. However, no one listened to Jiang Zhi’s cry for help, and no one realized that she was among them.
“Jiang Zhi!” Lu Mian heard the voice and rushed out. The first thing he noticed was that Jiang Zhi had disappeared, so he searched for her in the crowd.
He asked every person he met, “Have you seen Jiang Zhi?”
Everyone was putting out the fire, so no one paid attention to Jiang Zhi’s whereabouts. Lu Mian stared at the fire and felt his heart racing…
Lu Mian suddenly saw Lu Xuan’s calculative calmness and caught on. He grabbed Lu Xuan and asked in a cold voice, “Where’s Jiang Zhi?”
Lu Xuan did not dare to Look Lu Mian in the eye and tried to leave, “How would I know where she is?”
Lu Mian was about to ask more questions when he suddenly heard Jiang Zhi’s voice.
“Save me… Ah Mian…”
Lu Mian almost lost his mind. He ran to the door of the tool room with red eyes and stared at the fire. He knew that Jiang Zhi must be waiting for him to save her!
“Brother Lu! Lu Mian! What are you doing? Do you want to die?!” Someone saw that Lu Mian wanted to rush in and thought that he was crazy. This was suicide!
A few people dragged Lu Mian and shouted at the top of their lungs, “There’s a fire in there. Lu Mian, wake up!”
Lu Mian did not seem to hear them.. He only knew that Zhi Zhi was waiting for him. he shouted, “Jiang Zhi is in there! Let me go!”
