At night, an east wind suddenly rose from Baiyun Mountain. The leaves of the forest on the mountaintop kept blowing.
Because of the hot spring she had soaked in at night, Jian Ai felt much more relaxed. At this time, she was wearing a bathrobe and standing in front of the room window to make a call.
“Sect Master, I’ve already made arrangements at the hospital. Don’t worry,” Bai Zhou said.
Jian Ai heaved a sigh of relief and felt that the stone in her heart had fallen to the ground. “Thank you, Bai Zhou.”
Jian Ai was telling the truth. To her, only after her mother’s illness was resolved could she do other things.
However, her words made him feel particularly terrified. “Sect Master, you’re too serious. This is something that we can do.”
First, Bai Zhou. Then, Xiao Zhen. Although Jian Ai was not used to their overly respectful attitude, she had to accept it. The difference in seniority seemed to have been ingrained in their hearts. It was not something that she could change with just a few words.
Jian Ai had no choice but to change the topic and talk about the company. “Did you get the title deeds for the two pieces of land?”
“I have them. The lands are now officially registered under our company.”
“Very good. We’ll talk about the details in the meeting tomorrow afternoon. It’s late. Rest early.” Jian Ai looked up at the sky and closed the curtains.
“Good night, Sect Master!”
“Good night!”
After hanging up, Jian Ai went straight to bed. The resort hotel bed was soft and comfortable. In a trance, Jian Ai felt as if she returned to the high-class apartment in the capital in her previous life.
Perhaps a little tired today and coupled with the comfortable bed, Jian Ai fell asleep not long after.
After an unknown period, Jian Ai felt the smell of choking smoke in her sleep. Before she could open her eyes, an ear-piercing and anxious alarm sounded in the villa.
Ring! Ring!
Jian Ai suddenly opened her eyes and found that her room was filled with thick smoke that almost blocked her vision.
Cough, cough!
Jian Ai was caught off guard and inhaled a puff of smoke. She coughed violently and subconsciously reacted. Oh no, there’s a fire!
She spun around and got off the bed. Jian Ai didn’t even put on her clothes. She wrapped herself in a bathrobe and rushed out of the room. As soon as she opened the door, a thick smoke pounced on her, and it instantly swallowed Jian Ai.
“There’s a fire. Everyone, run!”
Amidst the smoke, Xia Qinghuan’s voice could be heard from afar.
The sound of doors opening rang out one after another. The girls on the third floor quickly ran down the corridor. Although the smoke was thick, they could still see the situation.
Jian Ai felt the temperature rising from the ground and used her X-ray vision to look down. She saw that the fire on the second floor was spreading towards the third floor.
“Ah!”
Li Yunmei, who was the first to rush to the staircase and wanted to go downstairs, screamed. At this moment, they could see nothing downstairs. They could only see the raging fire.
The boys on the fourth floor rushed down at the same moment. Everyone was choking and crying, but the fire downstairs was too fierce. Without seeing the situation, they could not escape from the stairs.
“What should we do? The fire already reached the second floor. We can’t go down!” Yu Mengyao was so scared that she cried.
Everyone had never encountered such a situation before. Furthermore, the situation did not allow them to think calmly. For a moment, they did not have any ideas.
