The third room belonged to Song Ting and Song Ennian.
They were staying in a suite, so knocking on their door would alert them both at once.
Song Enzhi, who was quite intelligent, was now pounding on the door like a village shrew, with a voice louder than ever before, "There’s a fire, Dad, big brother, hurry and open the door. Dad..."
Song Ting and Song Ennian were alert enough to open the door after a short while.
Song Ennian sighed as he saw the thick smoke at the stairway, "Su Xiufeng must have gone mad."
He didn’t need to look for evidence to know that the fire had been set by Su Xiufeng.
Song Ting thought that Song Ennian might have misunderstood Su Xiufeng, but upon seeing that the items piled at the top of the staircase were Su Xiufeng’s clothes, furniture, and gasoline barrels, he sighed as well.
He looked around and said, "The fire on the stairs is too fierce, and with all those gasoline barrels, we can only escape from the balcony.
However, although the steel bars on the balcony are sparser than those on the windows, they are very sturdy, so we have a big task ahead of us."
Song Ting was frustrated with the layout of the Space Villa.
In the past, to prevent theft, the roof was solid, without any doors.
The windows and balcony were also filled with dense steel bars.
At the time, they had considered the possibility of escaping a fire, so the top of the staircase was made very large, with no flammable materials nearby.
If it weren’t for Su Xiufeng deliberately starting the fire to kill people today, an accidental fire wouldn’t be an issue.
Song Ting took the lead to the edge of the balcony, prepared to break off a steel bar.
With the bars on the balcony being relatively sparse, if they could remove one, they would be able to squeeze through.
Song Ting felt that with his and Shen Ci’s strength, breaking a steel bar wouldn’t take much time, but upon looking down at the pile of gasoline barrels below, he fell silent.
Jumping down from the balcony would land them in a sea of flames.
Even the mild-mannered Song Ting couldn’t help but grind his teeth with rage, "She’s insane, truly insane."
As soon as his words ended, a gasoline barrel exploded downstairs, followed by another at the stairway.
The fire at the stairway grew fiercer, and the thick smoke became more suffocating.
As the flames threatened to consume everyone, Meng Chuyue whispered to Shen Ci, "Knock them out."
Shen Ci understood instantly, and with swift motions, he knocked out Song Ting, who knew martial arts, and then knocked out Song Ennian and Song Enzhi, who did not.
After ensuring all three were unconscious, Meng Chuyue quickly locked them in a room within the Space Villa.
Having done all this, she and Shen Ci didn’t immediately enter the Space but each took a gas mask and "swept" through the rooms on the third floor.
This included the items in Song Ting’s secret room.
Song Ting had quietly disclosed the secret of the room to Shen Ci the previous night.
But he had not told Song Ennian.
After collecting the items, the two of them entered the Space together.
The smoke had blackened them both, and they really wanted to bathe, but showering wouldn’t be explainable later, so they held off for now.
By now, Su Xiufeng had already left with Song Enyu.
When Song Enyu came downstairs, she had run into Su Xiufeng just after setting the fire and preparing to leave the villa.
Upon seeing Song Enyu, Su Xiufeng thought it over and decided to spare her life to keep her company.
At this point, Song Enyu was only concerned with saving her own life; she couldn’t care less about others.
When Su Xiufeng beckoned her to follow, she obediently did.
There were few flammable materials inside the villa, so the fire didn’t last long before it was extinguished.
Meng Chuyue and Shen Ci, wary of the heat, didn’t take the stairs. They tore off the bars of a window and scaled down using a rope ladder.
Shen Ci glanced at the male workers’ dormitory, the female workers’ dormitory, and the family dormitory, all showing faint lights, and sighed, "Su Xiufeng is formidable indeed; I wondered why no one from outside was coming to fight the fire—it turns out she had drugged them all unconscious."
"Yeah, let’s go check on them."
After making a round through the dormitories and ensuring that those people had only been sedated and would wake up by morning, they headed to Su Jinnian’s guest room, where they released Song Ting, Song Ennian, and Song Enzhi from the Space.
