No one who saw this scene would know that there was another person in the Huo family, hiding behind the door panel of the hall.
Listening to the laughter coming from inside, Qin Luoying sneered again and again.
"It was night, and power outages are common in Central Africa. It was pitch black all around where I lived. Going to the toilet felt like I had to pass by countless ghosts. The people there were so dark that only one tooth could be seen. At night, it felt like seeing a ghost. .”
Gu Erya shared the interesting things she encountered abroad, which resonated with Huo Yiquan, and they had a great conversation with him.
Ye Mingqian and Gu Yan leaned against each other, listening to the two men blowing each other. They chatted about skin care products in a low voice. The four of them had two channels, but they were surprisingly harmonious.
On a late autumn night, there was a cool breeze. Ye Mingqian gathered up her skirt. The cold air hit her and she couldn't help but sneeze. When she breathed in again, she smelled a burnt smell.
What is the taste?
This familiar panic rushed into her heart, and she stood up quickly, "Is it on fire?"
The other three people were shocked.
Gu Erya was the first to react. He strode to the door. The heavy double-open solid wood door did not move at all under his hard push.
Seeing this situation, everyone's expressions suddenly turned ugly.
"There's also a back door." Huo Yiquan pointed in the direction of the atrium.
Half a minute later, he came back dejected.
"I can't make any calls on my cell phone either."
Gu Erya looked heavy as she held her phone.
"There are no base stations nearby." Gu Yan bit her lip, "Unless someone deliberately interferes with the signal."
"Someone wants us dead."
All the lights above the head were turned off at this time. Ye Mingqian turned on the flashlight of her mobile phone and put it on the table. Although it could not illuminate the entire room, she felt calm with the light source.
"Find tools first, break the window, Gu Yan, then make the call."
The smell of smoke in the air became heavier and heavier, but her mind became clearer.
She had experienced being buried in a sea of fire countless times in her dreams. The fire in Zhou's house didn't kill her, so she would not die in Huo's house today.
The two men spread out to find tools. Although Gu Yan was scared, she still picked up her phone and kept making calls. The light from the phone screen shone on her face, and her lips could be seen trembling.
Ye Mingqian took out a pair of scissors from the drawer under the coffee table. She cut off all the curtains in the hall and piled them in the middle of the living room.
Then she picked up the scissors and stabbed hard at the window. Even though she tried her best, she didn't leave a white spot on the glass.
"It's bulletproof glass." It's double-layered.
The person who set the fire calculated that it was easy to get in and out of the Huo family.
Who is doing this? Huo Jili?
No, it's impossible. Even if he finds out what she did in the study, he won't confront her in the Huo family. Among them are a pair of children from the Gu family. If something happens to the Huo family, he can't explain it to the Gu family. .
"Ahem."
There was obviously no gap, but the smoke in the room was getting thicker and thicker.
"Is there any water?"
Ye Mingqian pulled off a few pieces of cloth and spread them on the coffee table, wetted them with water from the teapot, distributed them to the other three people, and said, "Cover your mouth and nose."
"No, the door panel is too thick."
Huo Yiquan held a chicken feather duster broken into two pieces in his hand, blew the chicken feathers from his mouth on the ground, and covered his face again.
"The smoke is coming in too quickly. Check where there is an air outlet."
Even if there is a fire, the Huo family is so big and there is an open space in the middle of the atrium. Logically speaking, the smoke cannot spread so fast.
boom! boom!
Gu Erya turned a deaf ear and ignored the blood flowing from his palms. He gritted his teeth and slammed the door with a chair. There was already a broken chair on the ground.
This is pure solid wood!
Ye Mingqian saw this and was frightened.
"elder brother."
Gu Yan ran over and grabbed Gu Erya's arm, "If you hit it again, your hand will be useless."
"It's just a pair of hands. If we don't run out, our brother and sister's lives will be handed over here." Gu Erya threw away the heavy chair, arched her body and slammed into the door panel. She only heard a muffled groan, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. He wiped it off nonchalantly, "You must get out alive."
"elder brother."
Gu Yan stood there helplessly, but couldn't stop Gu Erya. The phone in her hand suddenly lit up. She picked it up happily and answered: "Hey, hey, you can hear me. This is Huo's house in the west of the city. There's a fire. Hello. Hey hey..."
She was answered with busy signals one after another, and when she checked her mobile phone, there was still no signal.
"Get through?"
Ye Mingqian lowered her head when she heard the noise. She stacked the chairs one by one and climbed to the top, where there were uncut curtains.
"Gu Erya, don't use your physical strength, cough." When she spoke, she suddenly inhaled a puff of smoke, bent over and coughed violently, and the chair shook like a stack of Arhats.
She leaned against the window and grabbed a corner of the curtain to steady herself, feeling the cool wind blowing from the back of her hands.
"There's a hole!"
An exclamation made Gu Erya stop banging on the door. He ran under Ye Mingqian, steadied his chair, raised his head and shouted, "Is it a window?"
"no."
Huo Yiquan heard her words just after he arrived, and he was immediately disappointed. He was like a trapped little animal and began to become impatient, "It's true, uncle, glass is so strong."
"A fire vine is coming in."
Gu Yan screamed and ran. Behind her, the light of fire could be seen faintly in the crack at the bottom of the living room door.
"Give me the scissors."
There is no metal in the living room, only these scissors can be tried.
Ye Mingqian stretched out her hand. There was a small breathable layer at the top of the window. She touched the material. It was made of crystal and had a hollow shape. The smoke poured in from here. Although her face was covered, she could not face the thick smoke. The smoke still made her dizzy.
Taking the scissors handed over by Gu Erya, she used the handle of the scissors and smashed it hard against the prismatic hollow.
The first blow was useless and the scissors in her hand almost fell out of her hands.
"Take it easy."
If it weren't for the rickety chair that couldn't support the weight of a grown man like him, Gu Erya was so anxious that she would have wanted to hit it herself.
The temperature in the room was getting higher and higher. Ye Mingqian, who was holding her breath to the limit, turned her head to breathe, but she still couldn't escape the inhalation of smoke. She forced herself to open her eyes, found the support point of the dendrite crystal and smashed her hand.
Card.
The cracking sound made her perk up, and she hit the same spot hard.
After smashing the first disconnect hole, Ye Mingqian ignored the pain in his hands and continued to smash wildly.
Then came the second hole, then the third...
The carpet in the living room had begun to catch fire, and the whole room was filled with smoke. Even the moisture in the fabric on the surface began to evaporate and become hard. She did not dare to waste any more time. After breaking through the last crystal, it was enough for her thin body to pass. There was no time to clean up the remaining debris, so he struggled to crawl out.
"Ye Mingqian is out."
