Su An's thoughts were suddenly interrupted, and she came to her senses almost instantly. She quickly put her handbag aside, then turned to look at the hangover soup on the cart outside the house, her mind going blank for a moment.
Without the potion, she suddenly forgot what she wanted to do.
Then I heard the waiter ask, "Are you... still going to the next room?"
"go."
Su An agreed subconsciously and hurried out.
The hangover soup is coming. Since there is no potion, I can only treat it as a favor in front of Gu Jingchen...
Su An thought, standing outside Gu Jingchen's door in a depressed mood.
"Knock knock knock——"
She knocked gently on the door.
There was no sound inside the house.
Gu Jingchen has fallen asleep?
Su An frowned slightly and was about to knock twice more——
But suddenly a voice came from inside the house, "Who?"
"Mr. Gu, it's me."
Su An responded quickly.
There was no sound in the room again.
Gu Jingchen didn't know what he was doing. He waited for a few more seconds before the door opened with a click.
A stream of moist water vapor also hit my face.
Su An was startled, and then she saw that the person in front of her had hair still dripping with water, and her clothes were not as neat as usual. They seemed to have been put on casually.
"What's up?"
Perhaps because he had just taken a shower, Gu Jingchen's drunkenness seemed to have dissipated, and his eyes subconsciously looked up and down at Su An.
Why was she knocking on his door so late?
Is it the same as those women...
Thinking of some things from the past, a dark light flashed in Gu Jingchen's eyes.
But for some reason, another voice came out of my heart immediately, reminding me in a low voice: No, she shouldn't be such a person.
Gu Jingchen was thinking——
Su An suddenly turned slightly to the side, moved away from the waiter who was blocked on the other side of the door, and said softly, "The alcohol content tonight is very high, and Mr. Gu will have an important meeting tomorrow. I'm not worried, so let's
The hotel has made a sobering soup, drink it and then rest."
With that said, she broke off the tray on the trolley, handed it to Gu Jingchen, and then took a step back, with no intention of entering.
Moreover, she did not knock on the door alone, but was accompanied by someone from the hotel.
Gu Jingchen's mind moved slightly, and somehow he felt a little relieved.
His assistant seemed to be more reliable than he thought and knew how to avoid suspicion.
"Well, thank you."
He said thank you in a good mood.
I didn't even say this to Tangze.
Su An was a little surprised when he heard this, but in just a moment, he returned to his previous expression and said respectfully, "This is what I should do. Then Mr. Gu, please rest first and I won't disturb you."
After saying that, she didn't stay any longer and turned around and went back to her room.
Leaning against the door, Su An couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Everything tonight was completely different from what she had planned.
Tomorrow and the next two days, Gu Jingchen will be almost full of meetings of various sizes. He may be so busy that he doesn't even have time to eat, let alone a banquet.
There should be no better opportunity than tonight.
Missed this time...
I don’t know how long it will be until the next time I encounter something like this...
Su An stared at the ceiling in a daze for a while, shook her head helplessly, and then turned to the bathroom to wash up.
I went back to bed and was upset for a while, then fell into a deep sleep.
midnight--
"It's on fire! It's on fire!"
Suddenly there was a loud noise in the corridor.
What followed was the sound of panicked footsteps.
Su An woke up from her sleep, rubbed her eyes and sat up, wondering what was noisy outside.
I could only hear intuitively, even through the door with excellent soundproofing effect, I could still hear the sound of being stepped on in the corridor outside, as if there were many people running.
"What……"
Su An looked out the door in confusion.
The next second——
“Bang bang bang!!!!”
Her door was suddenly banged!
Su An was startled and looked over subconsciously.
At this time, my mind finally came to my senses, and I smelled something not quite right in the air.
It smells like...smoke?
On fire?
Suddenly realizing something, she immediately opened the quilt and jumped out of bed!
Immediately afterwards——
"Bang bang!"
Her door was suddenly smashed twice again!
The people outside seemed to have great strength and wanted to wake her up.
Su An hurriedly walked to the door in two steps and opened it!
In an instant, the billowing smoke almost choked her and staggered her!
The eye sockets were also sore in an instant!
But the figure standing at the door was the one she was most familiar with.
"Gu..."
Su An subconsciously wanted to speak.
I just said one word——
My mouth and nose felt suddenly cold.
"Don't talk yet."
Gu Jingchen spoke very fast. As he spoke, he grabbed her wrist, asked her to hold the wet towel on her face, and then ordered, "Take your ID, don't worry about other things, hurry up."
Su An nodded, not caring too much at the moment, turned around quickly, took off her handbag hanging on the hanger, and walked out.
"Mr. Gu, what exactly is going on?"
Not understanding why this happened in the middle of the night, Su An asked in a dull tone.
"There was a sudden fire."
Gu Jingchen only gave these words.
He didn't know what was going on either.
Normally, he would fall asleep deeply after drinking, but tonight for some unknown reason, his mind was filled with thoughts of Su An, and he didn't even feel sleepy at all.
That's why as soon as I heard the movement outside the room, I immediately came out to check.
The corridor is full of people who don't know what they are doing.
There were more than just the two of them living on this floor.
It's just because everyone has their own things to do during the day, so they basically won't encounter it.
At this time, everyone living on this floor ran out, their faces full of fear and confusion.
Some people clamored to change clothes, some turned around and went back to pack their things, and some stood there at a loss. It was a complete mess.
"Where is the fire point? We have to find a way to get down..."
Su An felt a little uncomfortable due to the thick smoke around her, but she couldn't see the fire point wherever she looked. She instantly understood that the source of the fire was not on their floor.
But it must be very close.
"The safe passage is over there."
Gu Jingchen pointed to the depths of the thick smoke.
Su An immediately understood and followed him towards the inside.
It is most dangerous to take the elevator when you don't know the specific circumstances of the fire.
Their floor was too high. If something happened in the middle, they wouldn't even have a chance to survive.
Now we can only rely on safe channels!
And stay calm!
The two people walked quickly in silence.
Amid the thick smoke, the sign for the safe passage glowed green.
Su An felt more at ease, and when she reached the door, she hurriedly pushed it open!
Unexpectedly, more smoke followed!
It was even vaguely accompanied by firelight and noisy voices!
"close the door!"
Gu Jingchen reacted very quickly. As he spoke, he hurriedly pulled the opened door back and closed it hard!
Su An was also stunned on the spot, looking dazed.
No one thought that a fire would break out in the safety passage.
And it looks like the fire started right downstairs?
This is the top floor!
Thirty floors!
How can they get down if they can't take the safe passage?
Are we going to be trapped and die here together with Gu Jingchen today?
In an instant, countless complex emotions flashed through Su An's mind, and her nerves were tense.
Immediately afterwards——
"Can we use the safe passage?"
A chaotic voice suddenly came from behind, suddenly pulling her back from her thoughts.
The other residents apparently also reacted and arrived at the safe passage.
Su An shook her head.
Before he could speak, Gu Jingchen said first, "The safety passage is on fire and we can't get out."
"Then there are other safe passages! There are them over there too!"
Someone looked towards the other end of the corridor.
Several people looked at each other and immediately turned around without looking back!
Su An looked at Gu Jingchen, with a glimmer of hope in her eyes.
The next second, a big hand pinched her wrist.
Gu Jingchen's movements were very restrained and gentlemanly. He just gently pressed the fingertips of his hands against her wrist bones and whispered, "Follow me."
Then he pulled her and followed the crowd in front.
The smoke was getting thicker and thicker. Even if the two people were only one step away, Su An could no longer see his face clearly, and could only see a blurry and tall figure.
Su An's thoughts moved slightly, and an inexplicable feeling suddenly arose in her heart.
Even after so many things, Gu Jingchen could still give her an unparalleled sense of security at this time...
It's really ironic and embarrassing.
Thinking——
She suddenly heard another rapid footsteps.
It seemed like someone was running towards them.
But she really couldn't see clearly anymore.
I could only see vaguely, there seemed to be several people.
Then I heard someone say, "The emergency passage over there is on fire. Can you go out on the other side?"
"What? Everything's on fire?"
Someone in the crowd asked in surprise.
As soon as these words came out, everyone understood the current situation.
Then fell into silence.
A few seconds later——
I don't know who shouted again, "The elevator can still be used! Let's take the elevator down!"
"No! I don't want my life!"
Someone else immediately retorted loudly.
"Then tell me what else to do! Don't take the elevator! Are we waiting to die here? This is the 30th floor!"
The two of them started arguing with each other.
Su An thought about the location of the elevator, and accurately found the light on the elevator board that shone in the thick smoke, and looked a little hesitant.
The elevator is still on, which means the inside should not have been affected.
The fire started downstairs.
If the elevator only goes down two to three floors, it only takes about ten seconds.
The fire was only on the lower floor, so they might be able to run all the way downstairs through the safe passage on the 28th or 27th floor.
but……
It is also possible that in these ten seconds, one's life will be lost.
Want to take the risk?
A layer of cold sweat broke out on her palms.
Just thinking——
Someone in the crowd seemed to have thought of this, and suggested loudly, "The fire is downstairs. Instead of going all the way to the end, we can just sit down a few floors, maybe we can go down! Otherwise, the fire will come up sooner or later! It's like this here
Gao, even if the fire truck comes, it will not be possible to put out the fire quickly!"
As soon as these words came out, the crowd immediately became excited.
Someone agrees with the opinion just now.
There are also people who say loudly that they will never go to the elevator to die.
Su An's heart was pounding and she no longer knew what the right choice was.
Just thinking——
"You can take the elevator."
Gu Jingchen's voice suddenly sounded beside him.
His voice was not loud, but Su An heard it clearly, and then she felt him gently tapping the back of her hand with his fingertips, as if to remind him something.
Then there was a sudden light that shone through the thick smoke!
I don’t know who it was, but in the chaos, I opened the elevator door!
In an instant, everyone stopped making noises and crowded in towards the elevator!
Before Su An could react, she felt Gu Jingchen pulling her and striding towards the elevator!
Even the person who had been clamoring not to go to the elevator to die just walked over.
Because people all have a herd mentality.
Rather than die together in the elevator, I don't want to be left alone.
The scene was a little chaotic for a while.
In the face of life and death, almost everyone gives priority to themselves.
Pushing, stepping on, almost everyone was trying to squeeze into the elevator with their heads down.
Su An also gritted her teeth and wanted to go in.
There is only one chance.
Now every time you delay a little longer, the danger of this elevator will increase exponentially!
The familiar warmth on her wrist always supported her.
The elevator door is right in front of you.
But at this moment——
Su An suddenly felt that the force holding his wrist suddenly loosened!!!
Gu Jingchen was actually squeezed away!
Su An's heart skipped a beat, as if a piece of it had been hollowed out!
Terror struck overwhelmingly, wrapping her up.
For a moment, she couldn't care about her identity or her past, and there was only one intuitive thought left in her mind.
Gu Jingchen can't die here!
She can't die!
"Gu Jingchen!!!"
Su An called out Gu Jingchen's name, and it was almost hard to see clearly. She could only reach out and desperately grab the place where he was standing just now!
But caught a blank!
The remaining people also ran in.
More and more smoke also entered the elevator.
Then someone wanted to close the elevator door directly.
"Wait a moment!"
Su An squeezed half of her body into the elevator and couldn't see clearly where Gu Jingchen was.
Not caring about anything else, she simply took off the towel covering her face and shouted, "Gu Jingchen!!! Cough cough... cough cough cough..."
The thick smoke cut through her throat like a knife, causing her to cough uncontrollably.
Within a few seconds, the crowd behind him started to get restless.
"Hurry up and close the door! What are you waiting for?"
"That's right! Are you going to come up? Don't delay us if you don't come up! Do you know that every second is a human life? Don't drag us with you if you want to die!"
As a man said this, he reached out and tried to push Su An out!
Human nature is on full display at this time.
"Shut up!!! Cough..."
Su An roared at the other party with red eyes, her voice was smoky, as if it was on fire, and the hole in her heart was getting bigger and bigger.
