Lu Benlai scanned the surroundings, but Leng Nuan was nowhere to be seen. So, he grabbed a random person and asked, "Did the person staying in this room come out?"
That person was probably here on vacation. Upon hearing Lu Benlai's question, he shook his head and replied, "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 that?
Lu Benlai's voice sounded a little anxious, "When did you get here? Didn't you see anyone coming out of the room? "
This time, before the person Lu Benlai was asking could reply, another person had already answered, "I came earlier than him. By the time I arrived, the fire was already very intense, and thick smoke was pouring out of the windows. However, it's been a while, and no one has come out yet. If there's really someone inside, there's a high chance that they've already fainted by now …"
This time, before the person could finish his words, Lu Benlai had already dashed toward the burning wooden hut.
"Hey, Brother, what are you doing?"
"Given the size of the fire, you might not be able to come out if you go in. Besides, we've already called the police, and the fire brigade will be here soon …"
Ignoring the warning from the kind-hearted person behind him, Lu Benlai rushed to the door of the wooden hut and began shouting Leng Nuan's name.
But there was no response.
The door was locked from the inside. He tried pushing it twice, but it wouldn't budge. So, he turned to look at the open window by the side, and without any hesitation, he dashed toward the window.
Along the way, he happened to pass by a small fountain. Ignoring the fact that it was winter, he stood on top of the fountain and quickly soaked his clothes. After which, he tore off a piece of his shirt and covered his mouth and nose before leaping into the room through the window.
The room was filled with flames. Lu Benlai shouted Leng Nuan's name as he searched for her.
Through the crackling of the fire, Lu Benlai heard the sound of the fire alarm outside.
Following which, the door opened, and someone rushed in to drag him out.
"Leng Nuan, Leng Nuan …"
After being thrown out of the wooden hut, Lu Benlai subconsciously dashed back into the hut, but he was soon stopped by the security guards.
"Let go of me, I want to go in and look for someone … Leng Nuan … Leng Nuan …"
Lu Benlai struggled frenziedly, but due to the fact that he was unable to break free from the restraints of the security guards, his voice sounded hysterical.
Perhaps it was because he was using too much strength, but his voice ended up becoming a little hoarse by the end. Even so, he continued shouting Leng Nuan's name with all his might. Just as his voice broke, a clear and cold voice sounded from behind him, "Senior Lu …"
As if someone had struck Lu Benlai's acupoint, he suddenly quietened 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 before a look of ecstasy flashed across his face. He broke free from the security guard and subconsciously dashed toward Leng Nuan.
"Are you alright? You weren't 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 to ensure that she was fine.
However, before his fingertips could even touch Leng Nuan's clothes, Leng Nuan had already taken a step back in extreme repulsion, dodging his hand.
"I'm fine, Senior Lu …" Leng Nuan's voice still didn't carry much emotion.
