"Really?"
Gu Yan's eyes were so smoked that she couldn't see anything, but with Gu Erya hugging her, the young lady couldn't help crying no matter how strong she was.
Ye Mingqian's body was covered with wounds, and her clothes were scratched beyond recognition. She climbed out of the gap and did not dare to stay for a moment, and went straight to the door of the living room. When she came to the door, she saw an iron general locked on it.
Looking around, she didn't see any other servants of the Huo family. The risk of suffocation for the three of them would be greater if Gu Erya stayed there for a minute. She couldn't count on the other people, so she quickly ran to the guard room, found a swing stick and ran away. Go back and smash the connection point of the iron lock.
The iron lock seemed to be temporarily added and was not as strong as expected. With Ye Mingqian's strength, it only started to loosen in two or three minutes.
Seeing the hope, she pushed harder and harder, and time passed by second by second. Because of the exertion, the wounds all over her body were bleeding continuously, staining her clothes red.
Ye Mingqian, who was completely unaware of this, focused on smashing the lock in one place. Finally, a hole was made in the thick door panel, and the iron lock fell to the ground with a clang.
"Gu Erya, Gu Yan, Huo Yiquan, are you there?"
She avoided the fire on the ground and pushed open the door. Black smoke instantly engulfed her.
"Ahem."
Gu Erya rushed out with Gu Yan in her arms, followed closely by Huo Yiquan.
"Going to drive, Yan'er fainted."
Hearing this, Huo Yiquan glanced at Gu Yan, who had her eyes closed in Gu Erya's arms, and ran down the steps in a panic.
After seeing that they came out safely, Ye Mingqian turned her mind to the other side. She looked in the direction of the atrium, where there was also thick smoke.
She wanted to go to Huo Jili's study!
This is the best opportunity.
"You also come with me."
Ye Mingqian had just raised her legs, and Gu Erya, who was halfway there, stood on the steps and looked at her deeply, "You have to deal with your injuries. Yan'er had called the fire alarm before she fainted. The fire here is very intense." It will be under control soon."
"You go ahead, I just have a superficial injury."
She refused to give up the hard-won opportunity. No longer waiting for Gu Erya to speak, she bent down and ran into the smoke.
"Ye Mingqian!"
Gu Erya hugged his sister and called her. Seeing Ye Mingqian's figure disappear in the thick smoke, he gritted his teeth and freed up one hand to dial Chi Yanchen's number.
"Achen, your ancestral house is on fire, Ye Mingqian is still inside, hurry up."
[Chi Yanchen, the Huo family is on fire. I want to take this opportunity to enter Huo Jili's study. 】
At the same time, Ye Mingqian groped for direction in the black smoke, and based on his feeling, he edited this message and sent it to Chi Yanchen.
She walked through the rockeries in the atrium. What was strange was that there was a fire in Huo's house, and only the front hall and the back courtyard between the atrium could see smoke. The rest of the place was calm.
Moreover, logically speaking, with the Huo family's Chinese style and all solid wood furniture, a fire should spread very quickly, but the fire was not very big along the way, but the smoke was thick.
"How is this going?"
Ye Mingqian came to Huo Jili's study and found that the security guard who always guarded the door 24 hours a day was not there, and the study door was open!
Her heart was pounding.
Whether it's a coincidence or a trap, it has a huge temptation for her.
"I can't control that much anymore." Ye Ming rushed into the study with a heart. He stepped forward and was greeted by a wave of blazing heat.
Fire, the whole room was filled with fire, and the orange flames were reflected in her pupils.
The bookshelf in the study was on fire from top to bottom, and the paper was flammable, so the fire was extremely intense.
Her pupils were slightly dilated. It turned out that the source of the fire was here. Someone deliberately set off smoke at the door of the front hall where they were, and it was their lives.
The expansion of the fire gave Ye Mingqian no time to think too much and choose a place to stay. His eyes were desperately looking for the cabinet that Chi Yanchen and he had searched for last time.
The billowing smoke prevented her from opening her eyes, and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes involuntarily. She bent down and covered her mouth. Based on her memory from the last time, she avoided the obstacle and touched something hard.
Is it a cabinet, or one that is not completely burned.
She felt happy.
Just as he was about to squat down to open the combination lock, there was a sudden sound above his head. Ye Mingqian raised his head nervously and saw that the fire had spread to the beams. Although the huge wood would not break for a while, it would not break again. If this continues, it will be burned down sooner or later.
I knew I couldn't wait any longer.
Ye Mingqian gritted her teeth and squatted down. She had an excellent memory. Every set of data and cabinet number reported by Chi Yanchen was deeply imprinted in her mind. She just glanced at the cabinet number and immediately opened the hidden compartment and entered the password.
"cough."
Unexpectedly, the password lock did not open. I didn't believe it, so I pressed the password again, but there was no response on the display screen.
The number is absolutely correct, and her memory cannot be wrong, so it is possible that the safe has turned on its self-defense function.
Or maybe Huo Jili saw the study from the surveillance camera, and the fire shut down all the unlocking systems.
Whatever it is, things are not going well right now.
Ye Mingqian raised his head to look for the monitoring head, but the smoke in the room blocked it, making it impossible to see clearly. The crackling sound above his head came again.
Her face was covered with sweat and her body was soaked. Looking at the raging fire in the study, she knew that she would definitely die if she stayed any longer.
But I’m not willing to give in!
Under heavy surveillance, it was so difficult to get in. She found all the information she wanted last time, but she couldn't get it out, which made her regretful.
This opportunity was so good that it was absolutely impossible to miss it again. Ye Mingqian forced herself to calm down and think about other ways.
A tongue of fire shot into the sky, and she leaned to one side to avoid it. She happened to see another cabinet next to the front. Most of the wood on the outside had been burned. The white safe inside the wooden cart was clearly visible. Full view of the safe inside.
It's just the size of an ordinary piece of white paper.
There's drama!
Because of the high temperature, her black hair was wet and hanging on her face. Ye Mingqian first tied up her hair, then kicked over the cabinet in front of her. The white safe inside rolled out and stopped at her feet.
She followed the same example and pushed all the cabinets around her into the fire, and then retreated to the door where the fire was less intense.
The black smoke rushed into her eyes, and a spicy feeling hit her nostrils. Tears flowed from her sour eyes, and when she opened her eyes again, she could no longer see anything.
The strong uneasiness of being unable to see made Ye Mingqian slowly approach the wall behind him. Under the high temperature, even the wall was warm. She slowly touched the door frame along the wall, but what she felt on her fingertips was the hot metal.
