Chapter 98: The Fire

ng the phone, not knowing what to say, Jiang Ling arrived beside Lin Haisheng at some point. She snatched the phone away. 。"Hello, is this Su Ke Xin This is Jiang Ling" 。This weekend, we're having a...On this side, Su Ke Xin left Gu Yi Han's car and returned to the villa. As usual, she had dinner and went to sleep soon after.

She wasn't sure if it was her imagination, but she felt particularly tired today. When she showered, she felt dizzy and almost fell asleep the moment her head hit the pillow. She didn't even have a dream.

She didn't know how long she had slept, but she was awakened by a pungent smell of smoke.

"Ahem..."

Su Keqin coughed in her sleep, struggling to open her heavy eyelids. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her eyes as if they were being smoked.

She immediately felt something was wrong, scrambling to get up. But the moment she tried to rise, she realized her body was incredibly weak, devoid of any strength whatsoever.

What's wrong with her

At this moment, she couldn't care less about anything else. She just hurried to turn on the bedside lamp.

Suddenly, she saw black smoke filling the room.

This... This is on fire

Su Ke Xin was truly frightened, the pungent smell of smoke made her cough even worse. But she still managed to calm herself down as quickly as possible, swiftly dragging her limp body out of bed, grabbing a jacket on the way, and rushing out the door.

When she opened the door, she was even more frightened!

What a big fire!

Prior to this, the door had been blocked, preventing the fire from spreading inside. But now that the door was open, she saw that the entire hallway was engulfed in flames, with the tongues of fire greedily leaping and dancing.

"Mom Wang! Uncle Zhang!" At this moment, Su Kexin was still worried about the two elders in the room. She called out several times but no one answered, only she herself choked on a mouthful of smoke.

She didn't have time to think about anything else, she just had to take care of herself first.

Looking at the massive fire in front of us, it's impossible to rush out directly!

She forced herself to calm down, ran back to her room, shut the door, then grabbed a blanket and dashed into the bathroom, soaking it in water, and then wrapped it around herself before coming out again.

With this layer of blanket as protection, she was a little braver. She immediately crept from the raging inferno of a hallway, keeping her head down as much as possible to avoid inhaling too much smoke.

Just as she was about to go down the stairs, she saw that the fire at the bottom of the stairs was even worse. Several steps had already burned through, and she couldn't get past!

Just as she was panicking, a sudden burst of thick white mist erupted before her, whooshing towards her!

She stared at the white mist for several seconds before she reacted—

That's a fire extinguisher!

The next second, within the white mist, a familiar, slender figure rushed over.

"Kexin! Kexin, where are you!"

The moment she heard the sound, Su Keixin felt a jolt of shock and joy, like grasping at a life raft as she screamed, "Gu Yichen! Cough cough! Gu Yichen, I'm here!"

The fire extinguisher's white mist eased the flames on the stairs, and Su Keqin immediately saw Gu Yichan running towards her. But just then, the railing in the corridor next to them suddenly collapsed under the heat of the fire, once again separating the two of them, and the flames surged anew.

"Damn it!" Su Keqin heard Gu Yichan covering his mouth and cursing angrily, shouting, "Keqin, stay there, I'll be right there to find you!"

Su Kexin wanted to nod, but suddenly, she thought of something.

Wait a minute, isn't Gu Chi's necklace still in the room

It should be so.

Gu Yichen cherished that necklace very much and usually wouldn't take it off. When he went to work or on business trips, he would keep it in his drawer.

The fire was so big, after the table burned out, the crystal necklace must be ruined.

Then Gu Zhi... Wouldn't he be heartbroken to death

She couldn't help but think of Gu Chi's sorrowful expression every time he held that necklace, and suddenly felt a sour feeling in her heart.

Damn, she was rescued unharmed, but didn't even try to get back what was most precious to her. Wasn't she too selfish

Although she knew the necklace was just an inanimate object, it was Gu Chi's only remaining memory. She couldn't bear to deprive him of his last bit of attachment!

Thinking about this, she looked at the blanket on her body. It was still wet and could probably hold out for a while. Besides, the fire hadn't changed much in intensity yet, and Gu Yichen still needed some time on his side.

Then, she gritted her teeth, pinched her nose and screamed: "Gu Yichan! I'm going back to get something!"

Gu Yichan was struggling to extinguish the fire. Hearing Su Kexin's words, his mind exploded, and he roared, "Su Kexin, are you crazy! What could be more important than your life!"

Su Keqin only had a few words for Gu Yichen, she just ran back to her room after arguing for a few seconds.

Her body was still strangely weak for some reason, but she didn't care about that anymore. She just gritted her teeth and rushed back to the room in one breath.

She ran too fast, inhaling too much smoke, coughing violently, but her footsteps didn't stop, she dashed to the table.

She didn't close the door when she left before, so the fire had already spread into the room. The table was also on fire, and Su Keqin opened the drawer through the blanket.

I didn't want to, but at this time, many places on the blanket had already been dried by the heat, and her hand was immediately burned.

"Ah!" She screamed in pain, but she didn't care much. She just gritted her teeth and pulled open the car door.

Soon, she saw the crystal necklace.

She took out the necklace as quickly as she could. She also wanted to take out the photos, but they were too flammable and burned up in an instant.

She had no choice but to give up, clutching the necklace tightly in her hand, but not daring to squeeze too hard. Immediately, she wanted to rush out of the room again.

Just as she dashed to the door, the bookcase next to it suddenly rumbled and collapsed with a crash!

The books on the bookshelf had long been reduced to charred remains, and the wallpaper along the doorway was hanging down, sparks flying everywhere. Su KeXin was so frightened that she retreated several steps.

What to do...

The door was suddenly blocked, now she didn't know how to get out.

She wanted to roll out wrapped in the blanket, but the blanket was also starting to catch fire.

She was caught between a rock and a hard place, feeling remorse for her arrogance and impulsiveness.

Damn it, that's it, the necklace is lost, and she's gone too, isn't she!

Just wondering, if she really kicked the bucket, would Gu Chi be more heartbroken over her death or more saddened by the loss of his necklace

Probably the latter...

After all, compared to Cheng Ruoruo, whom he once loved deeply, I was just a stranger he had met a few months ago, wasn't I

Su Kexin now even admires herself. At this moment, her brain is surprisingly active, running wild with thoughts like she's been injected with chicken blood.

The surrounding fire grew larger and larger, she could hardly see the corridor anymore, and the smoke became increasingly thick. She coughed until her eyes were blurry with tears!

Could it be...

Is this really where I die

At the brink of collapse, she carefully placed the necklace around her neck, clutching it tightly.

If her body and the necklace are found together, I hope Gu Chi understands her heart. Seeing that she still thought of the necklace before her death, please treat her mother kindly.

As she wept and pondered, a loud roar suddenly interrupted her thoughts.

"Su Kexin!" he explained it, it was useless. He simply stopped explaining and gritted his teeth. After a hard spittle, he cursed at Yang Guilan angrily."Yes! I want you to die as soon as possible! You old geezer...
