Chapter 968: A Desperate Moment
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
A bald man in his thirties held a gasoline can as he smirked, standing in an alley not far from the scene of the fire. His eyes were full of excitement, as though he were enjoying a masterpiece.
There was a black mole on the man’s face, which was very clear. Under the light of the fire, it was exceptionally wicked.
The picture changed again, and everything disappeared. Yang Ming returned to reality…
“Yang Ming…” The voice of Chen Mengyan called him.
” Ah !” Yang Ming was surprised. As he regained his senses, he turned around and saw Chen Mengyan who looked at him with a worried expression.
“Yang Ming, what’s wrong with you? Just now, you seem to turn stupid as a person. When I called you, you didn’t respond!” Chen Mengyan saw Yang Ming look back. She was relieved, but she still asked in concern.
“Nothing…” Yang Ming shook his head with a bitter smile. He couldn’t figure out what happened to him! For no reason, why did he witness such a dangerous scene? It seemed as though it really happened in front of his eyes!
What I saw just now is just like a movie. It forcibly poured into my own sight, so that I can’t see anything other than this!
Could it be…? Lin Zhiyun is really in danger? Thinking of this, Yang Ming could no longer sit still. He quickly took out his cell phone and dialed Lin Zhiyun’s phone number.
On the phone, Shu Ya’s new song “Our Anniversary” came, which was the endors.e.m.e.nt song of the jewelry company. Lin Zhiyun had set it as the ringtone of her phone. It was a very touching song. Yang Ming also understood the inner meaning of this song after meeting Su Ya in Macau.
“Childhood Romance” was probably written for him… However, Yang Ming was in no mood at this moment to savor the meaning of Shu Ya’s song, because there was a cold female voice on Lin Zhiyun’s line. “Sorry, the caller is temporarily unavailable. Please call again later…”
Yang Ming’s heart twisted together! Lin Zhiyun wouldn’t really have an accident, right? Yang Ming was frantic. He dialed Lin Zhiyun’s phone again. It was still the same “Childhood Romance”…
Yang Ming was as though he sat on a spiked rug [1]. His hand holding the phone was also trembling because of the tension.
Regrettably, in the end, the cold female voice was heard again on the phone, telling Yang Ming that the call was not answered.
Yang Ming was shocked. He suddenly stood up and said to Chen Mengyan, “Mengyan, I’m heading out.”
“Where are you going?” When Chen Mengyan saw Yang Ming’s weird manner, she was inexplicable and somewhat worried! Yang Ming had never been as fl.u.s.tered as he was now.
“Zhiyun may be in danger! I have to go to the company right away!” Yang Ming said as he ran outside.
” Ah ? Is Sister Lin in danger?” Chen Mengyan was shocked. She just wanted to ask again, but she saw Yang Ming stride out of the house, making her confused.
Zhou Jiajia was also somewhat inexplicable. “Yang Ming, what is he doing going out?”
“I don’t know…” Chen Mengyan smiled bitterly. “But he said that Sister Lin is in danger. The situation is probably urgent…”
“Sister Lin?” asked Zhou Jiajia.
“She is Lin Zhiyun, another confidante of Yang Ming’s. I will introduce you in a few days.” Chen Mengyan smiled and said, “Her character is very good. You should not bully her.”
“Of course, I won’t.” Zhou Jiajia’s face turned red. She was very clear about her status and situation. If she were jealous, never mind Yang Ming. Probably even Chen Mengyan would boycott herself.
Yang Ming went out of the house and drove quickly to the company in the business district. He was very anxious. Did what I see just come true? Yang Ming was shocked deep down in his heart. This negative thought hovered within him non-stop.
No way! Yang Ming suddenly remembered that the situation he had seen before should be at night with the fire blazing up to the sky. The night was lit as though it were daytime! At that moment, it was still in the afternoon. There was no black sky outside. It would be at least one hour away before the sky got dark. Wasn’t the timing quite a coincidence?
Was the previous event my own illusions? But why didn’t Lin Zhiyun answer the phone?
Yang Ming was clueless, but the cell phone by him rang. Yang Ming picked it up and took a look. It was Lin Zhiyun’s call!
Yang Ming quickly picked up the phone and asked hysterically, “Zhiyun, where are you? How are you?”
” Ah ?” Lin Zhiyun’s voice came over the phone. “Yang Ming, I am at the company. What happened?”
“You are at the company?” After Yang Ming heard Lin Zhiyun’s voice, he felt more at ease in his heart. “So why didn’t you answer the phone?”
“I just went to the bathroom… The phone was in the office…” Lin Zhiyun said apologetically.
Yang Ming just breathed a sigh of relief. He smiled and shook his head. Was I a bit too sensitive? So, he said, “It’s nothing. I saw that you didn’t answer the phone, so I thought something happened to you. That terrified me!”
“I’m at the company. What could happen to me!?” Lin Zhiyun said, “I’m sorry. I will bring along my cell phone in the future.”
“It’s alright. Maybe I was too nervous.” Yang Ming said with a smile.
” En … Since it is fine, I’ll go back to work first. I will call again tonight!” Lin Zhiyun felt that it was not good to have private calls during work. Although she was the boss, others wouldn’t say anything.
“Okay, then you continue with your work,” said Yang Ming.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Zhiyun still felt very sweet deep down in her heart. Yang Ming cares so much about me. It means I still have a very important position in Yang Ming’s heart.
Although Yang Ming knew that nothing happened to Lin Zhiyun, he was still a little uneasy. Besides, he would arrive at the company soon. Yang Ming planned to visit.
After all, the scene he saw before was horrifying. Lin Zhiyun’s frightened and desperate gaze surfaced in Yang Ming’s heart again and again! It was too real, as though he had personally experienced it!
Yang Ming didn’t dare to be negligent. For this kind of thing, it would be better to believe it. Because I saw something, I should take precautions in advance. If something really happened to Lin Zhiyun, then I might regret it for the rest of my life!
He did not expect that when he was close to the business district, he would encounter traffic jams ahead! Glancing at his watch, he saw that it was rush hour. Yang Ming sighed, and though he was in a hurry, he couldn’t help it.
I can’t fly over, right? The car moved slowly little by little, like a long dragon. Every minute and second that ticked away, the sky gradually became darker, which made Yang Ming more anxious!
Suddenly, the traffic flow had slowed down significantly. If it were a tortoise before, it was now a snail. Yang Ming was in a hurry and looked ahead with his special ability. It turned out that there was an accident involving two cars which scratched against each other at the roundabout not far away. Looking at the situation, they wouldn’t walk away in a while.
Yang Ming was in a hurry. He had no patience and time to wait! Yang Ming parked the car in the temporary parking s.p.a.ce by the roadside, then he got off and quickly ran to the company.
Smoke ! Yang Ming was shocked! From one of the company’s corners, there was black smoke puffing up. In the night sky, if one didn’t look carefully, a person wouldn’t be able to tell. However, Yang Ming’s vision was so superb that he could notice the peculiar things at a glance!
Someone set the fire! Yang Ming suddenly thought of the situation he had seen before. He became anxious deep down in his heart instantaneously! At this time, the employees had already gotten off work. However, this little girl, Lin Zhiyun, must not have left and was still studying at the company.
If the fire spread, the consequences were unimaginable. Yang Ming ran to the company and searched around it, especially the alley he had seen before! Sure enough, standing in the alley was a bald man with a big black mole on his face, the one he had seen before!
What is going on here? Is it because of my own ability to predict? Yang Ming was baffled at the same time, but he didn’t dare to delay any further! The fire wouldn’t wait for people. It would burn the entire building of the company in the blink of an eye!
Although Yang Ming would like to apprehend the bald-headed man first, he dared not to take the risk! He must save Lin Zhiyun from the company building before doing other things!
Although this was likely to let this bald-headed man escape, it couldn’t be helped. Yang Ming couldn’t make a joke about Lin Zhiyun’s life. Anyway, he had already memorized the appearance of the bald-headed man. Yang Ming would get to him sooner or later. He could even catch him again afterward.
Thinking of this, Yang Ming quickly rushed to the company. The security guard on duty was still a little unaware. He asked, baffled, “Brother Yang, you are so rushed. What are you doing so urgently?”
“Hurry and call the firefighters!” Yang Ming did not have time to explain to him. He needed to make every second count! Right now the fire hadn’t spread, but who could be sure about the situation later on? If the wind changed, it would turn into a sea of fire!
“Firefighter?” The security guard on duty was surprised.
“Yes, the corner of the company is on fire. Quickly report to the firefighters, and then evacuate swiftly!” Yang Ming ran to him and commanded.
” Ah !” The security guard on duty responded and quickly yelled to the security room, “Everyone, come out. Quickly grab a fire extinguisher!”
Originally, this group of security guards was professionally trained. The quality was naturally much stronger than the average gangster. Under the shouting of the security guard, four people came out of the security room immediately, all of whom were security guards on duty. Two held fire extinguishers, while the other two rushed to the side with something like a mop in their hands.
The security guard on duty quickly picked up the phone and dialed the firefighters’ number.
Yang Ming nodded secretly. The ability of these people to deal with emergencies was good. They weren’t fl.u.s.tered but orderly. However, Yang Ming didn’t have time to continue watching them as he quickly ran upstairs.
