Chapter 115: Rescuing Them Without Hesitation

Page 1/3

Tan Xiaoxiao was so stunned by her words that her mouth fell open wide. After a long moment, she clicked her tongue in amazement and said, "Well, I really didn’t see it coming—you actually have a keen sixth sense... Hey, I’m just saying, is your reaction what they call 'caring too much that you get flustered'? Hmm, you still dare say there’s nothing going on between you and Xiao Li!"

Given Lin Siyu’s character, even if someone discovered her true feelings, she would never admit them. At this moment, she hurriedly denied, "Xiaoxiao, why are you talking nonsense again? This is... just concern for a classmate! If it were you instead of Li Sicheng, I’d also stay behind and try to help."

Tan Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. "Oh? So in your mind, Xiao Li and I are on the same level now?"

"I don’t want to bother with you!" Lin Siyu shot her best friend a glare and really said no more.

Soon, the taxi driver pulled over and let the two of them out.

After paying the fare, Lin Siyu grabbed Tan Xiaoxiao’s hand and hurried back toward the burning KTV.

By then, the area was already packed with onlookers, layered thick inside and out—completely impenetrable. Forget two young girls; even a daredevil team made up of Stallone, Schwarzenegger, and the like might not manage to squeeze in.

Lin Siyu scanned the crowd, then suddenly pointed to a café on the third floor across the street. "Let’s go there. If I remember right, the window seats have a good view and we can clearly see what’s happening near the KTV."

They stayed to offer some help to Li Sicheng if anything untoward happened. Since they couldn’t get through the crowd, staying where they could see him was a good alternative. Besides, neither of the two girls planned to intervene directly... Actually, even if they wanted to, two girls alone wouldn’t be of much help.

Before long, they arrived at the café called ‘Dream Fate.’

Seated by the window, they quickly spotted Li Sicheng’s figure.

He was standing amid the crowd, staring fixedly at the blazing KTV.

Li Sicheng didn’t know that someone was watching him from the third-floor café across the street.

His entire attention was fixed on the roaring flames; he desperately wanted to know if any innocent people were trapped inside.

The sharp wail of sirens grew louder.

Firefighters, police, and paramedics arrived almost simultaneously after receiving the emergency call.

As soon as the fire brigade arrived, they set up hoses and began extinguishing the blaze.

The police started questioning those who had escaped, asking whether anyone was still trapped inside.

Li Sicheng pushed through the crowd and moved closer to the officers to hear their inquiries.

Soon, the police’s investigation results were in.

From what they knew, everyone inside the KTV had escaped; no one was trapped in the fire.

Fortunately, although the fire erupted suddenly and fiercely, it hadn’t caused serious injuries. Only the KTV manager had been hurt—he fell during the evacuation, was trampled, and suffered burns on his backside from the flames.

Without a doubt, this injured KTV manager was Cheng Peng!

He deserved such a fate.

Hearing that no one was trapped inside, Li Sicheng exhaled in relief.

He no longer lingered and pushed through the surging crowd, preparing to leave.

But at that moment, a bone-chilling cold suddenly swept over!

Normally, with the raging fire, those nearby would feel the oppressive heat. Yet this cold instantly dispelled the burning heat, making everyone shiver.

Ordinary people noticed the chill but dismissed it as just the evening breeze—a natural phenomenon.

But Li Sicheng’s expression changed instantly.

He clearly sensed that this cold came from the fire itself!

Logically, there should be no cold within a blazing fire, yet it appeared.

What did this mean?

It meant that something unjust was happening within the fire!

When resentment and grievance grow strong enough, natural laws can be overturned, resulting in phenomena like snow in June.

At this moment, the cold rising from the fire, though not as extreme as June snow, was enough to prove one thing:

Someone innocent was trapped in the flames!

Moreover, from this cold, Li Sicheng sensed something ordinary people couldn’t.

A mixture of fear, panic, despair, and sorrow!

Such an aura only emerges when a person is utterly desperate!

"There’s someone trapped in the fire!" Li Sicheng immediately concluded.

His judgment was far more accurate than the police’s inquiries.

He spun around, pushing past the crowd, crossing the police barrier, and strode toward the fire.

Nearby officers quickly surrounded him, shouting:

"Stop! It’s dangerous inside!"

"Step back behind the barricade!"

"Can’t you see the place is on fire? Why are you trying to get in? Do you want to die?"

Li Sicheng shouted back, "Someone is trapped inside, and it's urgent to rescue them!"

"Is it your friend who hasn’t come out yet?" one officer hurriedly asked.

When lives are at stake, no one dares to delay.

Li Sicheng shook his head. "Not my friend, but there really is someone trapped in the fire."

"How do you know someone is trapped? Do you know where exactly?" the officer pressed.

At the same time, another officer said, "Tell us where the person is trapped. If you want to save someone, leave it to the firefighters—they’re the professionals. Charging in like this just makes things worse. You won’t save anyone and might end up killing yourself!"

The officers were not wrong.

For ordinary people without knowledge, rushing into a fire impulsively is almost certain death.

But Li Sicheng was no ordinary person.

More importantly, he didn’t yet know the trapped person’s exact location. He needed to enter the fire and analyze the situation firsthand.

Since he couldn’t clarify the trapped person’s details, the police naturally wouldn’t let him in.

With no other choice, Li Sicheng decided to break through.

He raised his hand forcefully and shoved aside two officers standing in front of him, then darted forward like an arrow released from a bow.

"Stop him!"

The police were caught off guard by his move and quickly fell behind, shouting to their colleagues and firefighters ahead.

But even they didn’t succeed in stopping Li Sicheng.

He ran swiftly and nimbly, weaving and accelerating to leave the officers and firefighters behind, arriving at the KTV entrance.

By now, the fire hoses had turned the entrance into a curtain of water.

Li Sicheng rolled on the ground, soaking his clothes with the pooled water, and then without hesitation plunged into the fire.

Behind him, a chorus of gasps sounded.

No one expected someone to dare charge into the raging flames!

Such behavior was utterly reckless, as if risking life without a thought!
