Lu Benlai looked around and didn’t see Leng Nuan. He grabbed a random person and asked, “Has the person who lives in this room come out yet?”
That person was probably on vacation too. When he heard Lu Benlai’s words, he shook his head. “I don’t know. I only came out to take a look after hearing the commotion…”
I don’t know… What kind of answer is this?
Lu Benlai’s tone was slightly anxious when he spoke again. “When did you come? Didn’t you see anyone coming out after you came?”
This time, the person Lu Benlai asked had yet to reply, a person beside him answered, “I came earlier than him. When I came, the fire was already very big. There was thick smoke coming out of the window. However, no one came out after such a short while. If there really was someone inside, they would have probably fainted by now…”
This time, before the person who spoke could finish his sentence, Lu Benlai rushed towards the burning wooden house.
“Hey, Buddy, What are you doing?”
“Such a big fire, you might not be able to come out if you go in. Moreover, we have already called the police. The fire department will be here soon…”
Lu Benlai completely ignored the warm-hearted person’s reminder behind him. He directly rushed to the door of the wooden house and began to shout Leng Nuan’s name loudly.
No one answered.
The door was locked. He tried to push it twice but could not open it. Then, he looked at the open window beside him. Without hesitation, he ran straight to the window.
On the way, he happened to pass by a small fountain. He did not care that it was winter at the moment. He stood on the fountain and quickly soaked his clothes. Then, he tore a piece of his shirt, covered his mouth and nose, and entered the room through the window.
It was full of flames. Lu Benlai called out Leng Nuan’s name while looking for her inside.
Through the crackling sound of the Flames, Lu Benlai heard the sound of the fire alarm outside.
Then, the door was opened. Someone rushed in and dragged him out.
“Leng Nuan, Leng Nuan…”
Lu Benlai, who was thrown out of the wooden house, subconsciously rushed into the wooden house again. But soon, he was stopped by the security guards.
“Let go of me, I want to go in and find someone… Leng Nuan… Leng Nuan…”
Lu Benlai struggled crazily. As he was still unable to break free from the security guards, his voice sounded hysterical.
Perhaps it was because he had used too much strength, his voice became a little hoarse in the end. However, he was still desperately shouting Leng Nuan’s name. The moment he broke his voice, a clear and cold voice came from behind him, “Senior Lu…”
Lu Benlai seemed to have hit his acupuncture points and suddenly quieted down.
Three seconds later, he turned around and saw Leng Nuan standing under a plum blossom tree about five meters behind him.
He was stunned for a moment, and then a look of ecstasy flashed across his face. He broke free from the security guard and subconsciously rushed towards Leng Nuan.
“You’re fine. You’re not in the room. You scared me to death. I thought you were trapped inside…”
As he spoke, he reached out to grab Leng Nuan’s arm, wanting to make sure that she was really fine.
However, before his fingertips touched Leng Nuan’s clothes, Leng Nuan took a step back in extreme repulsion and avoided his hand.
“I’m fine, senior Lu…”Leng Nuan’s voice was still emotionless.
“It’s good that you’re fine. It’s good that you’re fine.”Lu Benben didn’t mind Leng Nuan’s coldness and alienation. He repeated the words several times like a false alarm, then he said something new, “I thought you were in the room…”
