Lin Qingqian reacted and ran down the mountain without hesitation.

There were many bushes on the mountain, and the fire was fierce. A large area of fire would cause thick smoke. Lin Qingqian did not run for long before she felt the thick smoke blocking her nose and she could not breathe.

As she ran, she took out the water and a silk scarf from her backpack. She wet the scarf and covered her mouth and nose with it. Then, she threw away the rest of the water and the backpack, reducing the burden on her back, and increased her speed as she ran.

The fire was ferocious. The sleeping birds could not react in time and were quickly devoured by the blood-red flames. Their feathers fluttered down slowly and were quickly burned to the point where even ashes could not be seen. The mountain fire seemed to want to burn a hole in the dark night sky.

Lin Qingqian did not dare to hesitate or turn around to look. She ran down the mountain with all her might.

Her survival instincts had already made her forget about the soreness and fatigue in her legs, Jiang Yanshen, Lan City, and everything else. Her only thought was to live.

She didn’t know how long she ran for, but she felt the heat wave chasing her getting closer and closer. The skin on her back hurt from the heat, but she didn’t dare to look back and just ran with all her might.

In the midst of destruction, many figures suddenly appeared in front of her. The first to appear in Lin Qingqian’s eyes was Jiang Yanshen.

At this moment, he had already taken off his suit. His black inner shirt was wrapped around his muscular figure, and his long legs quickly strode towards her, rushing in front of everyone.

His dark eyes surged with unreal concern under the light of the fire.

Lin Qingqian wanted to tell him to run, but her throat could no longer make any sound. There was only the sound of the raging flames and her own panting in her ears. Her legs became weaker and weaker, and she staggered. She fell and lay on the ground like a dead dog.

Jiang Yanshen’s expression became even gloomier. Suddenly, a huge burning tree trunk crashed down. It was falling towards the place where… Lin Qingqian had fallen.

Without any hesitation, he pounced forward to hug Lin Qingqian and rolled on the ground a few times.

Gu Xici was shocked. “—Ah Yan!!”

Then, he shouted, “Fireman!!”

They had originally planned to seal the mountain to look for her, but they did not expect to suddenly receive a notice that there was a fire on the mountain. The situation was extremely dangerous.

Gu Xici had originally asked Jiang Yanshen to wait at the foot of the mountain while he and the firefighters went up to put out the fire. Jiang Yanshen had insisted on coming along, but they didn’t expect…

The firefighters had brought all the firefighting equipment over. As soon as they encountered the fire, they immediately began to try and contain it.

Gu Xici went forward to help Jiang Yanshen up. His sharp eyes saw that the sleeve of his arm had been burned, and even his flesh was charred. There were even red threads in his flesh, like burnt braised pork.

“You’re injured!”

Jiang Yanshen did not say anything. His gaze landed on Lin Qingqian and he sized her up twice to confirm that she was fine before he heaved a sigh of relief.

Lin Qingqian had escaped death and was already exhausted. Her entire mind was in a daze. Her gaze moved from his face to his arm and she pursed her leather lips without saying anything.

The firefighters asked them to evacuate as they put out the fire. The fire was too big and it was dangerous to stay here.

Gu Xici nodded and turned to Jiang Yanshen. “I’m staying here to help. You and Lin Qingqian go to the hospital first.”

His injuries needed immediate attention.

Jiang Yanshen nodded. Other than his face being a little pale, his indifferent expression was no different from a normal day. “Leave the bodyguards I brought behind too. They’re all retired soldiers. They can help.”

Gu Xici did not stand on ceremony with him. It was more important to put out the fire and save people.

Lin Qingqian’s entire body was sore and weak. Jiang Yanshen ignored the injuries on his arm and picked her up horizontally before turning around to leave the mountain.

She subconsciously turned around. All she could see was flames devouring everything. It was the people in orange uniforms sweating profusely as they fought against time to contain the fire.

For a moment, it was unknown if it was because of Jiang Yanshen or these people who were traveling in the opposite direction with heavy loads, but her eyes became laden and sore…
