BXBX NOVEL Chapter 197 Loneliness
The two of them got up and found that the smoke in the room was getting stronger and stronger. The smell was pungent and the temperature had increased by quite a bit. Li Qiang hurriedly grabbed a towel and soaked it in water. He let Chen Xue cover her nose and mouth and found a towel to moisten her face.
Chen Xue said anxiously, "What should we do? It seems like there’s a fire right now, but the door has been locked by auntie. How can we escape?" Li Qiang stepped forward and forcefully pushed the door. It was already tightly locked, even if he used his feet, he wouldn’t be able to kick it. Moreover, black smoke continuously poured in from the door, if he rashly opened it, it could lead to even more serious consequences.
Li Qiang looked at the window and said, "There’s no other way. I can only jump down from here." Chen Xue turned pale with fright. "What did you say? This is the third floor. If you jump, you will die." Li Qiang opened the window and looked down. There was a large patch of shrubs down there, which could probably reduce the force by a bit. However, the probability of landing safely was too small.
He took the sheets and asked Chen Xue to come and help him tear the sheets into pieces. Then he rolled them into simple ropes and slipped them through the window. He tied them to the heating pipe and said, "You go down first. I’ll hold the rope here just in case."
Chen Xue said, "Let’s go down together. I don’t want to leave you alone up there." Li Qiang said anxiously, "It’s already so late, yet you’re still pushing and pushing. I told you to go down faster. If you delay a little longer, the danger will increase. Do you understand?" Chen Xue had no choice but to let Li Qiang carry his onto the windowsill. Then, he pulled on the rope and slid down. Li Qiang instructed, "Move down a little bit. Don’t look down. Don’t be afraid. I’m here." Chen Xue said in a sobbing tone, "Of course I’m not afraid with you here, but my heart is still shaking."
Even in such a situation, Li Qiang still laughed out loud and comforted his, "You’re fine, don’t move recklessly. Grasp the rope and slide down." Chen Xue listened to his words and slowly slid down the rope. After about 10 minutes, he finally landed safely.
Even the fire engine had arrived, but before the ladder could be set up, the infirmary was already engulfed in flames. Li Qiang was forced by the heat wave inside to the point where he couldn’t wait any longer, so he directly grabbed the rope and jumped down, his agile body sliding down a long distance with a single leap, causing the onlookers to exclaim in surprise, including many girls screaming. When he was still more than three meters away from the ground, there was a loud explosion, and the entire infirmary exploded.
Li Qiang looked up and saw that the person holding him was none other than She Ziyan. He was pleasantly surprised and sighed, "Every time I’m about to die, it’s you who save me. Thank you very much." He Ziyan said: "I came late. If I knew that someone wanted to harm you, I would definitely stay by your side and never leave you!"
He Ziyan put Li Qiang on the ground. The surrounding crowd actually gave out warm applause and cheers. Li Qiang silently cursed: "I nearly died, but you guys acted like you were watching a circus, is it that fun?" He unhappily patted off the dust on his body, thinking to himself: "This fire is too bizarre, who did it?"
At this moment, Chen Yue had already rushed back. She held her head and cried, asking Li Qiang, "Are you alright?" Li Qiang said, "It’s fine, we were talking inside when a fire suddenly came from outside, so I changed the bed sheet into a rope and sent Chen Xue down first. I came down myself, but just when I was about to reach the ground, the top exploded again. Chen Yueqi said, "It can’t be? My room is an infirmary, not a arsenal. Where did the explosives come from? Is there something going on? "
Li Qiang was puzzled. However, he saw that there were people among the crowd looking at him with malicious gazes. That person was Zhang Rui! He glared at Li Qiang and Chen Xue, then angrily ran away. Li Qiang understood in his heart and said to Chen Xue, "It looks like it was Zhang Rui who did this. He must have been unable to bear the humiliation last time, so he thought of ways to take revenge on us."
Chen Xue angrily said, "This Zhang Rui is really not a simple person. We’ve already let him off, but he actually repaid us with kindness and even used such vicious means to take revenge. How do you think we should punish him?" Chen Yue said, "Why don’t we call the police? Let the police deal with him."
Li Qiang shook his head and said, "Zhang Rui knows the police. Even if he gets caught, a good lawyer will let him out. It seems like I need to get someone to help me." Chen Xue almost died a violent death, immediately lost his ladylike attitude, repeatedly nodded his head: "This kind of demon that would cause people to go mad, I must properly take care of him!"
He Ziyan who was at the side softly asked Li Qiang: "Why are you not teaching in class and instead going to the infirmary to whisper to a little girl?"
Li Qiang said embarrassedly, "We’re just chatting. It’s definitely not what you think." She Ziyan said: "Don’t fool me, okay? If it’s just a simple chat and there’s a fire, you can just open the door and run out. Why are you trapped inside? It can only mean that the door was locked. A man and a woman alone in a room, there’s no need to guess what they are doing. " Li Qiang said embarrassedly, "You really misunderstood me. Nothing really happened between us."
She Ziyan said, "You also misunderstood. Even if something happened, it had nothing to do with me. What I mean is, why was it so coincidental that you were alone in the room with that Lady Fang and then got set on a fire?"
Li Qiang muttered to himself, "What you said makes a lot of sense. I think it’s indeed a little strange. It’s probably because Zhang Rui followed Chen Xue and saw her chatting passionately with me in the infirmary. So he decided to kill her out of jealousy."
He Zi Yan said: "Didn’t you say before that Zhang Rui wanted to find someone to beat you up, but was stopped by Lin Hu. Moreover, he was afraid that Lin Hu would die of fear. Even if they wanted to harm you, there was no need for them to be so obvious, right? If you want to hear my opinion, then I believe that the person behind this is not Zhang Rui! "
Li Qiang said in surprise, "Then who else?" I can’t think of who that person is anymore. " She Ziyan said: "Don’t worry about this matter. Think about it slowly. Do you have any other enemies in the past few days? Think carefully before telling me. I will help you settle it." Li Qiang said, "With a capable helper like you by my side, I’ve really saved a lot of energy."
