Chapter 1065 - Escaped?



Chapter 1065: Escaped?
Si Yiyan tailed the firetruck in front of him as an ominous feeling filled his heart. He was certain that a fire must have broken out, though he had no idea where.
Si Yiyan gave Wen Xinya a call which she did not answer.
The ominous feeling in his heart intensified as he proceeded to call a few more times. After three failed attempts at reaching her, Si Yiyan decided to call Zhou Tianyu instead.
Although he did not know Wen Xinya’s friends too well, nor had he ever met them. However, he saved all of the mobile numbers of Wen Xinya’s close friends for safety purposes. He had even memorized the numbers of those whom she was closest to.
Zhou Tianyu did not answer either.
It was the same for Gu Junling and the rest.
Si Yiyan pursed his lips which had turned a little pale, accentuating the cold creases of his lips. He stepped on the accelerator, after which his car darted forward like an arrow.
At about 8:28 PM, Si Yiyan arrived at the club, only to see that it was covered in flames with thick fumes of smoke coming out of the third, fourth and fifth floors, all of which had already been burnt. The burning fire seemed extremely daunting.
People continuously escaped from the safety passageways, screaming, cursing and yelling at the top of their lungs.
They crowded along the roadsides together with some gossipy bystanders. The massive crowd caused a heavy traffic jam and numerous traffic police officers rushed to the scene to restore order. Several firetrucks also arrived one after another.
Firefighters dressed in yellow split up into dozens of groups, some of which were in charge of putting out the fire while some were in charge of evacuating the victims still trapped in the building.
Everyone got into position and were as busy as bees.
Due to the fact that it was his first time meeting Wen Xinya’s friends, Si Yiyan put on a green shirt which was like a refined bamboo, taut, sharp, classy and fierce.
Everyone at the scene could not help but steal a few glances at him. However, they could not take their eyes off him either.
At this moment, Si Yiyan weaved through the crowds to search for Wen Xinya.
Zhou Tianyu and the rest were all separated from each other because of the human stampede. Hence, they had no choice but to leave from the other end of the safety passageway. However, they did not expect the fire to spread so rapidly. The bunch of them managed to escape after putting in a ton of effort.
The survivors looked extremely disheveled and the items were scattered all over the ground and they began coughing violently while being sprawled across the ground. The thick fumes of smoke hurt their eyes and made their throats turn dry and raspy. They were overwhelmed with an inexplicable discomfort as if their chests were filled with water.
Zhou Tianyu bent forward and knelt on the ground while coughing violently to the point of tearing up. Her eyes were so dry and painful that she could not see anything clearly.

Where’s Xinya? Didn’t she escape together with you guys?
Si Yiyan asked in a clear and assertive voice.
Zhou Tianyu was shocked speechless by his commanding aura, so much that she dared not even cough. She subconsciously looked up to see that it was the mysterious Mr. Perfect, Si Yiyan.
Zhou Tianyu stared at Si Yiyan, who was as elegant and genteel and fit the descriptions in an ancient poem written by Kong Wuzhong in the Song Dynasty.
She suddenly remembered that he was Wen Xinya’s boyfriend.
The thought of Wen Xinya made Zhou Tianyu subconsciously look around, only to see that Xu Tongxuan, Gu Junling, Han Mofeng, and Ling Qingxuan were safe and sound.
Zhou Tianyu heaved a sigh of relief and said,
Fortunately you guys are alright.

Everyone felt thankful that they had escaped the ordeal.

Where are Xinya and Ruoruo?
asked Gu Junling, who finally realized that Wen Xinya and Du Ruo were nowhere to be found.
Everyone turned pale and began to panic. They hurriedly looked around but did not manage to see Wen Xinya or Du Ruo.
Xu Tongxuan exclaimed with quivering lips,
Could it be… that they didn’t manage to escape!?!

Ling Qingxuan frantically said,
That can’t be. Xinya has always been nimble and agile. It can’t be that they didn’t escape.

The few of them watched as the flames continued to burn brightly with no signs of dissipating. For some reason, their faces grew sullen.
Si Yiyan pursed his lips tightly with a cold and daunting expression on his face.
Did Xinya not escape?
Everyone began yelling Wen Xinya’s name anxiously.
Gu Junling finally realized that Si Yiyan was standing in front of them. He frantically explained,
The fire broke out too abruptly. By the time we found out, the flames had already spread to our floor. Due to the fact that the club is not that big, the safety passageway is too narrow to fit everyone. It could only fit two rows of people and there were lots of people trying to escape. The entire situation was chaotic and maybe we got separated from Xinya at that time. The thick fumes hindered us from speaking or seeing anything. Besides, the stairwell was too narrow, so we didn’t realize that Xinya and Ruoruo were no longer with us.

In order to avoid breathing in more smoke, everyone covered their noses and mouths.
Gu Junling felt extremely guilty at this point. He stole a glance at Si Yiyan, surprised to see how calm he was despite the fact that Wen Xinya was missing. He began to wonder if he was just pretending to be composed on purpose or he simply did not care.
Si Yiyan pressed his lips tightly together, the fairness of his porcelain skin accentuating the greenness of his veins. He looked extremely menacing.
Deep down, he was not as composed as Gu Junling thought.
His panic had turned into anxiety, and it was as if a century of misery had passed. His brain began to clear up.
He started observing the entire building and the progress that the firefighters were making.
At this moment, Zhou Tianyu ran towards them frantically.
I’ve searched everywhere but couldn’t find Ruoruo or Xinya. Are they still in there?

A look of dismay formed on Han Mofeng’s and Ling Qingxuan’s faces. They felt that Wen Xinya was proficient in martial arts and was quick and agile. There was no way that she would still be stuck inside when they’d already escaped.
Si Yiyan asked calmly,
Where did you guys come out from?

He could not sit back and do nothing.
Pointing towards the left, Gu Junling said,
This side. The flames had already spread towards us when we escaped.

Si Yiyan moved his feet.
Xu Tongxuan grabbed his sleeve and asked,
What are you planning to do?

Si Yiyan answered,
I’m going up to take a look.
