However, nobody answered Nanrong Wanqing’s phone either. Leng Feifei and Nanrong Wanqing... Ling Chen was almost dead with worry, could it be that both of them were inside the building? Just as he was thinking this, his phone suddenly rang, it was a call from Zhong Wei.
"Hello!" Ling Chen quickly answered the call and asked, "Captain Zhong, where’s Wanqing, is she with you?"
"The chairman is still inside the Changlong Technology building, Ling Chen, the building caught fire, and I haven’t been able to contact the chairman for more than half an hour now, I’m worried..."
Ling Chen said in a deep voice, "Don’t panic yet, haven’t the firefighters already arrived on the scene? Haven’t they started the rescue?"
"About ten minutes ago, there was a series of explosions inside the building, many stairways are completely blocked, the rescue team can’t get up there at all. They’re still trying to find a way because the fire is on such high floors, it’s impossible to effectively extinguish it, now the fire is getting bigger and bigger, and people trapped inside can’t get out."
"Wait there, I’m coming over right now." Hanging up the phone, Ling Chen imdiately rushed out of the office, Jiang Yunkai, understanding the severity of the situation, quickly caught up with him.
As they exited the building, Jiang Yunkai tossed the car keys to Ling Chen and sat in the passenger seat himself.
With the roaring of the engine, the car shot forward, heading quickly towards the location of Changlong Technology. Despite so traffic congestion, Ling Chen’s worry for Nanrong Wanqing and Leng Feifei’s safety made him drive faster, ignoring several red lights.
At this mont, he was no longer concerned about anything else, as long as he could reach Changlong Technology, no matter the cost.
Finally, in just under eight minutes, Ling Chen arrived outside the Changlong Technology building. At this ti, over a dozen fire trucks were parked on the street outside the building, the police had drawn a cordon to disperse the surrounding crowd.
Ling Chen jumped out of the car, looking at the top of the building, he saw the raging fire continuously pouring out of the windows. All the floors above the tenth were engulfed in flas.
"Ling Chen!" Upon seeing Ling Chen arrive, Zhong Wei and Liang Zhao Hui, who had been waiting outside, imdiately ran over.
"Captain Zhong, Brother Liang, what’s the situation up there?" Ling Chen asked urgently.
"It’s bad, the firefighters can’t enter the fire scene, they’re preparing to deploy helicopters to enter from the top of the building if..."
Boom!
Before Zhong Wei could finish speaking, a huge explosion sounded from the top of the building, followed by countless rocks falling down.
"Run! Run!" The surrounding police shouted loudly.
Ling Chen looked up and saw a huge rock falling rapidly towards him, quickly pulling Jiang Yunkai to run away. Suddenly, with a ’bang’, the rock crushed that car, the car windows shattering, glass flying everywhere.
"What’s going on?"
"Ling Chen, what are you doing here?" Suddenly, a familiar voice ca over. Ling Chen turned his head, stunned and surprised, and said, "Officer Xia?" A few days ago, when he t Xia Mutong, she said she had been transferred to Beijing, he didn’t expect to see her here.
"Are you on a mission here?"
"I’m the on-site commander."
Upon hearing this, Ling Chen’s eyes shone, it seed Xia Mutong was promoted three levels in a row this ti. Such a major fire incident usually had high-ranking officials in command, for Xia Mutong to be the on-site commander, it showed she was of high rank.
"Officer Xia, can you do a favor and send into the building?"
"You want to go in?" Xia Mutong’s eyes widened, looking at Ling Chen, she said, "Are you crazy? Do you know how dangerous the situation inside is? Even the firefighters don’t dare to go in easily."
Just as she finished speaking, a firefighter ran over quickly, urgently saying, "Director Xia, we just checked, there was a big explosion on the rooftop, the entire roof has blown apart, the helicopter can’t land."
"Have the helicopter hover in the air, let other rescue personnel use ropes to descend."
"It’s useless," the firefighter shook his head, saying, "The fire is too intense, it will pose a great danger to our rescue personnel. Also, we’re not sure if there will be a second or third explosion, if anything goes wrong, our rescue personnel will be trapped inside."
"What should we do then? Rescue is your expertise, think of a solution."
"This..."
"Let go," Ling Chen stood out and said, "You take to the roof, I’ll handle the rest myself."
Xia Mutong was shocked, blurting out, "Are you crazy?"
"I’m not crazy," Ling Chen said seriously, "Both Wanqing and Feifei are in this building, I’ve called them, but no one answered, they must be waiting for soone to rescue them."
"What? Why are they both in there?"
"There’s no ti to explain that now, if you consider a friend, help once, let go inside."
Xia Mutong frowned and said, "Do you know how dangerous the situation inside is?"
"I know, precisely because the situation is urgent, there’s no ti to delay, I must go in imdiately. Help !"
Seeing Ling Chen’s determined eyes, Xia Mutong hesitated. She wanted to help Ling Chen, but she was more worried about his safety. Deep down, she didn’t want anything to happen to Ling Chen. However, facing Ling Chen’s pleading look, Xia Mutong hesitated for a while and ultimately wavered.
"Alright, if you insist on going in, I’ll let you." Saying this, Xia Mutong turned to the firefighter, saying, "Arrange for the helicopter."
The firefighter looked at Ling Chen, wanting to say sothing, but before he could, Xia Mutong urged, "What are you standing around for? Go quickly, I’ll take responsibility for any consequences."
"Yes!"
"Follow ." Xia Mutong pointed at Ling Chen and led him to a fire truck. At her signal, soone quickly brought over firefighting gear and an oxygen tank, helping Ling Chen get equipped. "Take this, stay in touch with at all tis." Xia Mutong handed Ling Chen a walkie-talkie and warned, "Rember, if the situation inside is very dangerous, don’t push yourself, co out imdiately, alright?"
Ling Chen nodded and said with a smile, "Don’t worry, I’m so young, I wouldn’t gamble with my life."
The walkie-talkie suddenly sounded, "Director Xia, the helicopter is ready, can take off at any ti."
"Received!"
"I’ll be off then. Thank you!"
Xia Mutong replied irritably, "Thank after you co back safely."
Watching Ling Chen’s figure gradually recede, Xia Mutong couldn’t help but clench her fists, her heart seed to be in her throat, her throat unbearably dry.
Nothing... nothing must happen!
