"What about the people inside? Were they saved? The workers, manager and the cook; have you saved them?"
"I don"t know. I heard that the fire spread very quickly. In a very short moment, the cafe was engulfed in the fire. "The people inside...."
Ru s.h.i.+ paled even more when she heard him. Suddenly another person interrupted.
"They saved them! I just saw them taking the workers to the hospital." Ru s.h.i.+ turned to look at the speaker.
She breathed a sigh of relief. "They are all saved?"
The man shook his head and sighed. "Unfortunately, the fire is too fierce. When the fire brigade came it has already burned up. Even though the workers were saved, the cook hasn"t come out yet..." Ru s.h.i.+ rushed towards the cafe."Cook! Cook!. She shouted trying to rush in. Now that the fire was so big, she was stopped by the firefighters.
"Miss, don"t disturb us from putting out the fire!"
"But the cook is inside!" Ru s.h.i.+ continued to struggle but was blocked by the firefighters. The cook was the one who helped her when she lost everything. She was trying to commit suicide that night but she saw her and saved her. She gave her a reason to live. Since then she"s the only near relative she has left. How can she lose her too? Is she really a disaster star?
She was planning on giving the cook the best life when she finished school. That is why she did not stop even after breaking up Feng Lu. But now she hasn"t even finished school but...
Ru s.h.i.+ burst into tears, "Cook...." Several firefighters could not hold her back.
"Miss, you will affect the rescue work." They pulled her outside and she was not allowed to come any closer.
Ru s.h.i.+ sat down on the ground. The sound of flames, the sound of water gus.h.i.+ng out from the hoses and the voices of people surrounding the place all flew past her.
Ru s.h.i.+ held her knees, as she cried. Thinking about the good times she had shared with her.
She wanted to make a better life for the cook. She wanted to thank her for that day but now, she was no more. She was gone. Tears kept falling from her eyes.
Ru s.h.i.+ sat in the crowd as she cried like a child. Someone in the crowd slowly approached her.
"Do you want to know why the cafe is on fire?" A voice suddenly said behind her. Ru s.h.i.+ turned back. Someone wearing a black dress and a cap was leaving quickly.Ru s.h.i.+ heard the statement and her heart skipped a beat.
The workers in the cafe had been very careful. How can the cafe suddenly catch fire?
The only possibility was that the fire was set by someone. She was scared by her own speculations. She stood up with clenched fists and chased after the person. The shadow ran very fast but Ru s.h.i.+ chased him.
After a while, he left the crowd.
"Boss, something happened!" Li Yi fl.u.s.tered voice said as he entered Mu Chang"s office.
Mu Chang raised his brows. Due to some problem with his gang, he has been busy. He even switched off his phone because he did not want any distractions."What happened?" He asked coldly. He really hoped it was something important or else…
"Boss, the cafe where Miss Ru works caught fire!". Mu Chang stood up when he heard him. "What?"
He picked up his jacket as he rushed out of the office.
"Let"s go!". Mu Chang"s car arrived at the café. The blazing fire made him feel uneasy.
He got down as he walked towards the cafe. Now the fire was getting smaller but it had not been completely put out. The darkened walls were shocking. Mu Chang searched around but he could not see his Ru s.h.i.+"s figure. He asked the people around him.
"Have you seen a twenty-two-year-old girl wearing a blue dress?" The man he asked frowned as he thought that the description sounded really common. Suddenly he remembered Ru s.h.i.+. "Oh, there was such a girl. When she saw the fire she rushed towards it but she was stopped." Mu Chang frowned and his heart panicked even more. There was a bad feeling in his heart. He quickly walked towards the cafe but did not speak to anyone. The conversations of several people caught his ears.
".....it"s really pitiful. When she heard that the cook inside wasn"t saved she rushed in."
"A good life has been buried in the fire…"
"I heard that even the body has not been found." Mu Chang heard this and his body trembled. He could not believe this. He turned his head and glared at the people who were talking. They became scared by his gaze and no one dared to speak. Li Yi had heard this and he was shocked. He could not believe it."What they said, it won"t be..." Mu Chang"s face changed instantly. His eyes were full of fear. He grabbed the person who had just spoken. "
Is it a woman? Has the woman been rescued? The other person was scared by his reaction."Ye...es is a woman, but she has not been rescued..." When Mu Chang heard him, his heart tightened instantly. He took a few deep breaths. In the next second, he rushed towards the cafe that was on fire. The firefighters were so scared that they stopped him."Sir, you can"t go in!" Mu Chang"s expression became fierce as he pushed away from the firefighter in his way. He furrowed his brows and shouted at the firefighter.
"My girlfriend is inside!" After he finished speaking he rushed inside the cafe that was on fire.
"Li Mu!!" Li Yi shouted but he could not stop him. He could only watch his figure disappear into the fire.
The woman who had just spoken to Mu Chang was stunned at this time.
"I never knew the cook had such a young and handsome boyfriend. Wait; did he just say, boyfriend?"
She asked astonished. When Li Yi heard her he turned."What did you say? Who? Is the cook inside?"
The woman nodded.
