C174 Backyard Fire
The three of them only took a few steps forward and saw a crowd of people gathering in front of them. Moreover, a wave of smoke was coming out from the office building in front of them.
"What a big fire, I wonder who did this!" He Shaoyu looked at the billowing black smoke and sighed.
Lin Bai also sighed in his heart. Although natural disasters and man-made disasters could not be avoided in one's life, whether it was himself or someone else, it would always make one's heart ache.
Something was not right. Why did the building that was emitting black smoke look so familiar? Why did the more he looked, the more it looked like the office building he rented …
F * ck!
Lin Bai ignored the two people beside him and ran in the direction of the fire. When he came out, Xia Xiaoqing was still in the room, it was impossible for anything to happen to her!
He Jia Er's expression also changed drastically. Holding onto her skirt, she followed Lin Bai and ran forward.
By the time they reached the office building, it was already filled with people. The office building was already covered in black smoke. Not only was the smoke billowing, but the fire was also very strong. Fortunately, the firemen had arrived. They were standing on the ladders, holding high-pressure taps to extinguish the fire.
Lin Bai raised his head and looked up. His entire person was in a mess. The expression on his face was twisted into one as he pushed through the crowd of people and rushed towards the office building.
However, Lin Bai was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. There were four or five strong young men who could not get close to him, and they desperately rushed towards the office building, as if they wanted to rush up the stairs with just one step at a time.
He Shaoyu rushed to Lin Bai's side in a hurry and tried to grab his clothes to drag him out, but Lin Bai threw her out with a wave of his hand.
"What's the matter with this young man?" Such a big fire, why is it rushing towards us?! "
"Maybe there's something precious or someone from his family in the fire. They're still young, what a pity …"
The spectators all sighed when they saw Lin Bai's appearance, feeling an incomparable pity for him.
"Lin Bai …"
Lin Bai finally managed to break free from the restraints of the crowd. As he rushed to the office building's entrance, he suddenly heard an incomparably familiar voice coming from behind him. He turned his head and saw Xia Xiaoqing standing in the middle of the crowd, looking at him with teary eyes.
Without another word, Lin Bai turned and ran over. He hugged Xia Xiaoqing in his arms, and gently sniffed her hair as he muttered, "As long as you're fine!"
Finally, the fire was put out and the onlookers gradually dispersed. After Lin Bai comforted Xia Xiaoqing for a while, he brought everyone upstairs to see what the situation in the room was like.
As soon as he went upstairs, the smell of burnt flesh assaulted his nose. The aquarium in the living room had burst open and water spilled all over the floor. The two yellow river red carp kept inside were also dead. The walls were blackened by the black smoke, and the electrical appliances at home were even worse off. Countless pieces of the wall were floating on the water in the living room, which had been washed in by the high-voltage dragon head.
"How did this fire start?" Lin Bai turned his head to look at Xia Xiaoqing and asked in a soft voice.
Xia Xiaoqing shook her head: "I was still reading on the balcony when I smelled the smell of pasty food. Before I could react, the fire came rushing at me. If it wasn't for Xiaohei, I'm afraid I would already be in the fire!"
When Lin Bai heard Xia Xiaoqing's description, he couldn't help gasping for breath as he turned his head to look at the little black cat in Xia Xiaoqing's embrace with a grateful gaze. If it were not for the little black cat, this Phantom Transformation, she would have been buried in the sea of fire, just as Xia Xiaoqing had said.
After a moment of silence, he looked up at Lin Bai and said with a trembling voice, "Fire, I set the fire!"
Everyone was stunned. He Jia Ruidao was clearly out shopping, how could he possibly have set fire to the office building? Xia Xiaoqing frowned as she looked at He Jia Er, "Jia Er, don't speak nonsense. How could you be the one to set the fire!"
"I was boiling water in the kitchen when I went out, but I forgot to turn off the gas. "Lin Bai, if you want to blame something, then blame me. I was the one who harmed Sister Xiao Qing; even if you hit me, I would definitely not retaliate!" He Jia Er lowered his head and whispered with tears flowing down his face.
Lin Bai sighed but didn't say anything. Although He Jia Er admitted that the fire was caused by her, Lin Bai still felt that this matter wasn't that simple.
From the time he went out today and fell on the stairs, to the time he almost died in a flower pot, to the time his wallet was stolen, the house caught fire. All of this was like a chain reaction, getting more and more intense. As long as it was someone close to him, there would always be some sort of trouble. [What the hell is going on?]
"Lin Bai, are you alright?!" Just as everyone was looking at each other in dismay, an anxious voice drifted over from the entrance. The crowd turned and saw a young lady clad in white standing at the entrance of the room. Her features were incomparably beautiful, but her entire body seemed to be emitting a cold air, causing them to not dare to get too close to her.
Who else could possess such temperament other than Ning Xiaoxiao?
When He Shaoyu saw this woman, she turned her head to look at Xia Xiaoqing and He Jiale, and couldn't help sucking in a breath of cold air. Lin Bai was truly too awesome. He had actually gotten another sister-in-law to come out so quietly. If it wasn't for the fire, he would still be in the dark.
"Why are you here?" Lin Bai turned his head to look at Ning Huaiyan and asked softly.
Ning Huayan glanced at the two girls beside Lin Bai and said softly, "I saw a fire here on TV. I knew it was you, so I came over to take a look!" It's good that you're fine, then I'll be going back! "
Finishing her words, Ning Huayan turned around and was about to leave. But just as she was about to take a step forward, she realized that she could no longer move. When she turned around, she saw Xia Xiaoqing grabbing her arm with a smile.
"You should be the little sister that came here to play earlier. I've always heard Lin Bai talk about you and wanted to meet you, but I never had the chance." When I saw my sister today, I knew that there was actually such a beautiful person in this world! " Xia Xiaoqing looked at Ning Huayan's eyes and said with a beaming smile, but there was not a hint of arrogance in her words.
What a formidable woman! Ning Huayan was secretly surprised. To be able to show such an attitude and praise when she met her husband and other women, it was indeed not something an ordinary person could do.
"Sister, you must be joking. Compared to you, sister, my looks are nothing." With these thoughts in her mind, Ning Huayan felt that she could not be at a disadvantage, so she met Xia Xiaoqing's eyes and spoke softly with a smile.
Although his words seemed calm, it was like he was going to make a move at any moment. It truly made one's soul tremble when they saw it. He Shaoyu stood at the side, her gaze sweeping across the faces of the three women one by one. She then looked at Lin Bai, who looked as if nothing had happened, and the admiration she had for him deepened.
One of the three women was like a blooming peony flower, graceful and elegant. The other one was like a rose with thorns, beautiful and alluring, but could be stabbed if she was not careful. The other one was as cold and gorgeous as ice and jade.
In this world, other than him, who else could be so bold as to let three beautiful women walk around him obediently without a shred of conflict? How deep must one's cultivation base be? Such a man is really our role model!
She understood what this woman meant to her, and she had also thought about what kind of attitude she would have if Ning Xiaoxiao appeared in front of her. However, when she saw her, she realized that her previous thoughts were all wrong.
Xia Xiaoqing realized that her current state of mind was very calm. She was not like those ordinary girls; she had experienced far too many things. She had seen far too many things, especially in a place like 49 cities.
What kind of person was his own man? He had become a lord that could shake four or nine cities with a stamp of his feet as soon as he appeared in four or nine cities. The old elders of the four or nine cities admired him greatly. What kind of woman didn't want to get close to such a man? What kind of woman didn't want to get close to him? And no matter how he tried to stop her, how could he not let Lin Bai have other women by his side?!
She already knew of Xia Xiaoqing's existence, and apart from the breathtaking sight of Xia Xiaoqing, there was inevitably a little jealousy in her heart. But she was even more clear that this jealousy was due to her not being able to fully possess that excessively outstanding little man. Having a little jealousy was already not bad enough.
After thinking for a while, Ning Huayan turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly, Lin Bai's voice came from behind her:
"Huaiyan, don't go yet!"
When he saw these three women, Lin Bai suddenly had a bold guess in his heart. The more he thought about it, the more accurate his thoughts became. Everything that happened to him today should be related to these three women.
If he wasn't wrong, someone must have done something to the three women beside him that he didn't notice, which was why the situation was like this.
"You can't beat me in a fight, and your fighting techniques are inferior to mine. To think that you would resort to such underhanded methods and even target my woman, you are truly courting death!" Lin Bai turned his head and looked at the sky outside the house as he suddenly muttered to himself.
