Chapter 312 You Will Die!

Chapter 312: Chapter 312 You Will Die!

Lu Yi’s pupils contracted slightly, his gaze deepened, and countless shards of starlight fragmented in his eyes.

With trembling hands, he picked up the phone and dialed Qin Yan’s number. Twice in a row, no one answered.

At this moment, a staff member from the news department overheard the conversation and interjected:

"Mr. Lu, Secretary Shen, I think you might be worrying too much!"

"Mr. Qin didn’t go up to the third floor, and I’ve been on the second floor this whole time!"

"When I went to the restroom, I saw Mr. Bo following Mr. Qin into the ladies’ restroom. Since they’re together, surely Mr. Bo won’t let anything happen to Mr. Qin!"

Together with Bo Yunshen?

Lu Yi’s pupils darkened further, seeming to fragment into rivers, making it impossible to discern anything else.

This made him even more worried!

The fire brigade dispatched personnel to the scene, but not all of Bo Group’s employees were accounted for. Standing at the entrance of Bai Le Men, Lu Yi grabbed a bucket of water, poured it over his head, and charged straight into the thick smoke.

Xiao Shen reacted quickly, reaching out to stop him: "Mr. Lu, what are you doing?"

"The situation inside is unpredictable. Going in now is suicide!"

For the first time, Lu Yi’s usually gentle face showed a strange hue, and he forcefully pulled his hand away: "Many of Bo Group’s employees are still inside. I can’t just leave them!"

"Mr. Lu, calm down!"

"Everyone on the third floor has already been evacuated. Those who haven’t come out yet are likely on the second floor!"

"The second floor is entirely engulfed by flames. You can’t go in—you’ll die!"

Lu Yi furrowed his brow tightly. Suddenly, he shook off Xiao Shen’s hand and, without hesitation, dove headlong into the raging inferno of the entertainment venue.

...

Bo Yunshen left the restroom and did not go upstairs. His argument with Qin Yan had been so intense that his temper was flaring, and he hadn’t noticed anything unusual.

He casually opened the door to an empty private room, left it ajar, and sat down on the sofa.

The music on the second floor was deafening, and Bo Yunshen paused briefly, taking out a cigarette from his trouser pocket and lighting it. Only after the ash had built up thickly did he notice someone standing at the doorway.

A woman.

Her frame was delicate, her face obscured in the shadows, but the light outside stretched her silhouette.

Bo Yunshen recognized her instantly.

"Manman?"

Lin Man responded softly and walked into the private room: "Yunshen, the door was open. I saw you and decided to stand there for a moment."

Bo Yunshen nodded, uncertain if he truly registered Qin Yan’s earlier explanation.

"Manman, everyone is upstairs dining. Xu Lin specifically had Bai Le Men prepare specialty dishes. Why don’t you go up and try some?"

"I... let’s just say I’m on a diet."

Bo Yunshen’s gaze paused. She leaned against his arm, tilting her head with a clean and fresh expression on her face: "What’s wrong? Yunshen, don’t you want to see me?"

Suddenly, screams erupted outside, causing Bo Yunshen’s eyes to shift. He murmured, "Something seems to be happening outside."

The two stood up and walked out of the private room.

Outside, thick smoke billowed, and scorching waves of heat rose skyward. Judging by the situation, the fire had been raging for quite some time!

Bo Yunshen instinctively turned his head to look at Lin Man: "Manman, before you came in, didn’t you notice there was a fire?"

Her chest pressed against his, and Lin Man buried herself in his embrace.

She had already sprayed herself with perfume, and her sudden motion flooded Bo Yunshen’s senses with the intense fragrance of jasmine.

The scent even masked the smell of smoke and fire.

"I know!"

"I deliberately didn’t say anything. Yunshen, I..." Lin Man choked, "I want to die with you!"

"This way, we’ll never be apart again!"

Bo Yunshen’s eyelids twitched uncontrollably.

His chest tightened, and his piercing gaze fixed on Lin Man as he murmured, "Manman, don’t say foolish things. I’ll take you out of here."

The stairwell was blocked by the fire, and going back would be extremely risky. Bo Yunshen grabbed Lin Man and headed toward the restroom.

If he remembered correctly, the ladies’ restroom had a platform.

All these years, he had never stopped working out. Carrying Lin Man down from the second floor should not be a problem!

More importantly, when he left, Qin Yan seemed to still be in the restroom!

With the fire being so severe on the second floor, he doubted Qin Yan could escape!

Bo Yunshen pushed through the crowd, pulling Lin Man as they headed straight for the restroom.

With his back turned to her, he missed the fleeting glint of light in Lin Man’s eyes.

After moving just a step, Lin Man suddenly went limp: "Yunshen, don’t..."

"I regret it. I shouldn’t have said nothing. I’m so scared!"

"Yunshen, I don’t want to die..."

Tears streamed from her eyes like beads falling off a broken necklace.

Bo Yunshen’s mind throbbed painfully as Lin Man cried.

Having spent so much time with Qin Yan, he was used to her being composed under pressure. Most importantly, she always managed to calmly resolve unexpected situations.

Lin Man’s sudden breakdown left him feeling somewhat unaccustomed.

His eyebrows darkened with a hint of complexity, and he chuckled faintly at himself. How could he compare Qin Yan to Lin Man?

Could Qin Yan even be considered a woman?

Lin Man had no prior experience with such crises. Coming out for dinner and encountering a fire—it was natural for her to panic and feel overwhelmed!

Besides, if it were Qin Yan in this situation, her response might not necessarily be much better than Lin Man’s!

Bo Yunshen’s lips curled slightly. He reached out to hold Lin Man and reassured her: "Manman, don’t be afraid. I won’t let anything happen to you, alright?"

Lin Man’s eyes brimmed with tears.

But what filled them more was frantic fear and shock.

The fire was raging, and Bo Yunshen didn’t have the patience to talk to Lin Man at length here. He bent down and swept her up horizontally, striding quickly into the restroom.

His steps were large, and within a few strides, he reached the window in the ladies’ restroom.

Outside, firefighters were already prepared. Bo Yunshen stretched out his hand to open the window, gripping Lin Man’s waist with one hand and the platform with the other, before leaping onto it.

He did not let go, his arm supporting himself on the platform. Then, with a light jump, he landed steadily on the lower platform on the first floor.

Bo Yunshen carried Lin Man out of Bai Le Men with remarkable ease.

The second floor stood about four or five meters above ground level, and not a single person upstairs dared to mimic Bo Yunshen’s actions.

Upon landing, Lin Man’s entire body went limp in his arms. She curled herself into his embrace as if having narrowly escaped death, her tears soaking his chest.

"Yunshen, Yunshen..."

"Just now, I really thought I was going to die."

Bo Yunshen felt a surge of restlessness. When he entered the restroom earlier, he hadn’t seen Qin Yan. The fire on the second floor had been clear to him—he was afraid that Qin Yan, like him, had casually opened an empty private room and gone inside.

If that were the case, she was likely in grave danger.
