Halfway through, Li Tingshen heard a loud sound behind him and his body froze.
The car stopped by the side of the road. When she turned around, she saw the Li Corporation building.
Returning to the Li Corporation building, the entire building looked even worse.
Looking around, she didn’t see her mother or Liang Xuer.
When the judge saw him, he reminded him softly, “Your mother and Miss Liang haven’t come down yet.”
Li Tingshen’s pupils constricted as he looked up at the 12th floor. His Adam’s apple bobbed a few times and his face was terrifyingly cold.
He reached out to unbutton his suit jacket when the judge said, “CEO Li, you don’t have to go up. Someone has already gone up to save her.”
In such a short time, Li Tingshen did not see the fire engine.
Perhaps it was because someone had described the situation, a fire helicopter flew over from the roof of the Li Corporation.
Lian Lili was still upstairs. Even if someone went up to save her, he would not be at ease.
However, the firefighters had already rushed over and quickly raised their guard. Seeing that Li Tingshen was about to enter, they immediately got someone to stop him.
“Sir, the building could collapse at any time. It’s not recommended to go up and look for her. We’ve already arranged for a fire plane to prepare for air rescue. Please don’t provide unnecessary trouble.”

The elevator was undoubtedly broken. Ye Qingqiu took the emergency exit and climbed to the 12th floor on foot.
She and Ye Ze thought that they would definitely meet Liang Xuer and Lian Lili in the safe passage.
But with every level, their hearts turned cold.
It was common sense to escape through the safe passage. Without encountering them, the chances of them dying were higher.
The 12th floor was an explosion point. There was a lot of construction waste at the entrance.
But it was enough to surpass others.
The two of them easily pushed a pillar away and walked in. Thick smoke billowed inside. Ye Ze protected Ye Qingqiu and walked towards Gao Ming’s office.
But there was no one in the office.
“Damn it, where did they go? Liang Xuer!”
Ye Qingqiu was furious and shouted Liang Xuer’s name angrily. However, she inhaled a mouthful of smoke and coughed violently.
Ye Ze hurriedly covered her mouth and nose with a wet towel.
“Don’t shout. They should have gone upstairs.”
“Is she a fool? With the explosion below, the collapse could happen at any time. The fire is spreading and the smoke is rising. Are they tired of living?”
“At least it means that they’re still alive.”
“Miss, I can do it alone. Can you go out first?”
Ye Qingqiu shook her head and ran towards the emergency exit.
“If the cracking program doesn’t work, it’s indeed my responsibility to destroy the Li Corporation. If the Li Corporation is gone, what’s the point of reasoning? Brother Ye Ze, I can’t imagine how heavy a blow he will suffer… At the very least, I have to protect one for him…”
She couldn’t protect the Li Corporation. This time, she couldn’t let anything happen to Lianli.
Ye Ze pursed his lips and remained silent.
They had just reached the platform that led to the 13th floor when a loud bang sounded behind them. The emergency exit on the 12th floor had collapsed.
Ye Qingqiu was stunned.
Ye Ze pulled her. “Let’s go!”
“How are we going to get down?”
Ye Ze said calmly, “The firefighters will pick us up later. Let’s find them first.”
Ye Qingqiu was slightly relieved. Then, she finally met the two women who were blocked at the safe passage on the 15th floor.
Lian Lili sat at the side with her head in her hands. She seemed to have suffered a huge shock and her cries were shrill.
Liang Xuer pushed hard on the beam blocking the entrance of the emergency exit.
But it didn’t budge.
At this moment, the thick fog in the safe passage rose from below.
It came with a wave of heat.
There was the occasional sound of something collapsing below.
“Liang Xuer!”
Ye Qingqiu was furious and went forward to pull Lian Lili up from the ground.
“Are you an idiot? Did you learn too much about fire control? Why are you still going up at a time like this?!”
When Liang Xuer heard this, her body stiffened. She turned her head and saw that her exquisitely made-up face was all messed up. Her hair was messy and her tears were mixed with sweat. She saw Ye Qingqiu and Ye Ze in fear and helplessness.
Startled.
“Move aside!”
Ye Ze stepped forward and said to Liang Xuer coldly. He raised his hand to push the heavy beam and the cupboard in front of him.
The few of them ran in. The lighting was good and the interior was bright. They suddenly felt like they were in a safe place.
However, Ye Ze’s expression darkened. “This is a restaurant?”
Ye Qingqiu was stunned for a moment. “There’s an open restaurant on the 15th floor. The employees usually eat here.”
Ye Ze’s face darkened. “Let’s go. We can’t stay here.”
Ye Qingqiu reacted and hurriedly pulled Lian Lili upstairs.
However, she was pushed away by Lian Lili.
“Don’t touch me!”
Lian Lili ran to Liang Xuer and glared at Ye Qingqiu.
Her emotions seemed to have returned from the chaos, and her hatred for Ye Qingqiu also returned.
Ye Ze’s face darkened. “Madam Lian, Missy risked her life to save you…”
“Even if I die, I won’t be saved by her!”
“You destroyed the Li Corporation and now you want to scheme against me? I won’t let you succeed. Instead of letting you save me, I might as well die!”
Ye Qingqiu had never expected that at such a critical moment, Lian Lili would choose to prioritize her hatred.
Even if he died, he wouldn’t save her?
Ha.
“Lian Lili, did I kill your mother or dig up your family’s ancestral grave? Why do you hate me so much?”
Lian Lili’s nerves completely collapsed. “I do hate you! It’s your mother, it’s Mi Rao. She has ruined my life. The man I love loves her, and my husband loves her. Why is she so lucky? Her life has been so smooth. How many men have gone crazy for her? How many women have been deprived of their happiness by her? Now, even you are the same. You were doted on since you were born and are destined to live a smooth life? It’s a pity that you like my son… You want him to love you wholeheartedly. Let me tell you, I won’t allow it in my life. Even if I die… I will choose to let him hate you for the rest of his life!”
“Not to mention, you want to use me to capture his heart.”
Not only was Ye Qingqiu shocked, but Liang Xuer was also shocked.
No one would have guessed that this was the reason why Lian Lili hated the Ye family and Ye Qingqiu so much.
She had just said that the man she loved loved Mi Rao and her husband loved Mi Rao.
In other words, she loved Ye Jianyun, who had married Ye Qingqiu’s mother.
Li Tingshen’s father also loved Ye Qingqiu’s mother, but he married Lian Lili.
What kind of complicated relationship was this?
So facing Ye Jianyun, Lian Li only hated him because of love?
Ye Qingqiu found it ridiculous.
Her parents were truly in love with each other. If she couldn’t have him, she would blame it on someone else and use her son to take revenge on the other party’s daughter…
It was simply unreasonable.
At this moment, the plane was circling outside the window. Seeing this, Ye Ze walked over and opened the glass window.
“We’re here.”
The helicopter hovered in place. In addition to the pilot, there was a fireman.
Ye Ze called out to them.
“Hurry up, the gas here has leaked and it might explode at any time!”
Liang Xuer panicked when she heard that. Only then did she notice the smell in the air.
She hurriedly pulled Lian Lili towards the window.
“Auntie, let’s go first!”
Lian Lili stood still by the window.
The wind caused by the rotation of the helicopter’s wings blew against her clothes, causing her hair to flutter against her face.
Lian Lili looked downstairs and an impulse suddenly surged in her heart.
Ye Qingqiu couldn’t be bothered to waste any more time with them. She turned to Ye Ze and said, “I’m going to the top floor. Bring them to the plane first.”
After saying that, she turned to leave, but Ye Ze grabbed her arm.
“Why are we going to the top floor?”
Ye Qingqiu’s eyes flashed.
“If you don’t tell me, I’ll think that you’re lying to me so that I can bring them down! I won’t let you go!”
“… The wedding dress he ordered for me is in the lounge on the top floor…”
Her voice was stiff and she pretended to be calm, but her reddened eyes could not hide her anxiety and reluctance.
Ye Ze looked at her deeply for a while and said calmly, “Stay here. I’ll help you get it!”
“But…”
“Don’t waste time!”
Ye Ze said in a low voice, his attitude irrefutable.
As he spoke, he pulled Ye Qingqiu over, wanting her to board the helicopter first. However, she rejected him.
“Let her do it first.”
Without saying who it was, Ye Ze knew who it was.
Ye Qingqiu had always been stubborn. Such a decision was indeed her style.
Ye Ze looked at Lian Lili, who took two steps back. “Let Xu’er do it first! Ye Qingqiu, are you not going to care about Xu’er? Will you leave her here if I go up?”
Ye Qingqiu’s patience was almost exhausted!
“Why should I save her? No one in this world hates her more than me. If nothing goes wrong, I’m the one who wants her to die the most.”
“You…”
“Brother Ye Ze, bring her to the helicopter first.”
Ye Qingqiu didn’t give Lian Lili a chance to speak and interrupted her.
Ye Ze wanted to carry Lian Lili onto the plane, but Lian Lili slapped him!
“I can let you use me to save me, but let Xu’er get on the plane first. Otherwise, I won’t get on.”
Ye Qingqiu took a deep breath and said, “If you can’t fall in love, you can die together!”
“Brother Ye Ze, carry me onto the plane.”
Ye Ze couldn’t wait.
Lian Lili was stunned. She didn’t expect Ye Qingqiu to say that.
Liang Xuer wasn’t someone who wasn’t afraid of death. The collapse downstairs and the sound of the fire spreading and burning other things made her heart tremble nervously.
She held onto Lian Lili’s hand tightly, so nervous that she couldn’t even straighten her tongue.
“Auntie… now is not the time… to be angry. Go up first. Ye Qingqiu won’t ignore me… No matter what, I’m still a member of the Ye family…”
Lian Lili glared at Ye Qingqiu.
Ye Qingqiu turned around and looked at her. “I’ll ask you one last time. Are you going or not?”
Lian Lili moved her lips, but she was unwilling to compromise.
Ye Qingqiu lost her patience. “Brother Ye Ze, bring her up.”
This time, Lian Lili did not reject Ye Ze’s touch. The glass window was a little high. No matter how much strength he had, it was still a little strenuous. After all, it was a height of dozens of meters. Once there was a mistake, there would definitely be an irreversible accident.
After finally settling Lian Lili in the helicopter, Ye Ze handed two safety ropes to Liang Xuer and Ye Qingqiu.
He asked Liang Xuer first, “Do you know how to do it?”
Liang Xuer was a little confused. Ye Ze pursed his lips and walked over to help her tie it.
“You go up first.”
Nervousness and fear flashed across Liang Xuer’s face.
“I… I don’t dare…”
Ye Ze had already turned to help Ye Qingqiu tie the rope. When he heard Liang Xuer’s words, he frowned.
The shouts of the firefighters in the helicopter came through the roar of the helicopter.
“The fire has already spread downstairs. There’s gas on this floor and it’s about to explode. Hurry up!”
Liang Xuer panicked and hurried to the window.
A wave of heat rose from downstairs. She lowered her eyes slightly and saw a raging fire emerging from the window on the 14th floor. It was like a huge fire snake climbing upstairs.
“Hurry up! It’s dangerous!”
The fireman sounded shocked and anxious.
Ye Ze also realized that the situation was pressing. Just as he was about to help Liang Xuer onto the plane, he saw the fireman turn around with his face covered.
He paused and turned to look at Ye Qingqiu. Without thinking, he pounced over to protect her.
“Bang—”
*
There were exclamations downstairs.
On the 15th floor of the helicopter, the explosion was much more serious than any other explosion.
Even the helicopter hovering outside was shaken to the side.
The judicial staff at the side gasped.
“Oh no, she only saved one person. She seems to be CEO Li’s mother.”
“There are still three people inside. They’re probably dead.”
“I didn’t expect Miss Ye to die here. She’s so young…”
The collar of the judicial officer who spoke was suddenly grabbed, and his feet almost left the ground.
Her arms were tight and strong because of the weight of almost an entire person. The sleeves of her white shirt were stretched to the limit because of the tight muscles.
His cold and bloodthirsty eyes were like a pair of sharp fangs, ready to bite someone’s neck off.
“Who do you think will die?”
That person’s throat was strangled and his face flushed red. “It’s… Eldest Miss Ye… The person who went up to save your mother and Miss Liang was Eldest Miss Ye…”
Li Tingshen suddenly swayed and looked up at the spot where the helicopter stopped.
He didn’t believe it because it didn’t make sense.
“Nonsense! She went to the hospital!”
Her father was critically ill, so it was only reasonable for her to follow him to the hospital.
“But it’s true… She and her subordinates… went up together. We all saw it with our own eyes…”
The other judicial staff hurriedly replied, “Yes, CEO Li, he’s right. We saw it with our own eyes… Miss Ye got out of the ambulance…”
“Look! There’s someone hanging from the helicopter!”
Li Tingshen looked up and saw Liang Xuer on the helicopter.
At this moment, she covered her face and screamed sharply. Her thin body was covered in bright red blood.
[About 80,000 words. In fact, 80,000 words can’t be written. It feels too rushed. After thinking about it, I’d rather be scolded than to end it badly… I’ll send you a red packet to apologize ~]
