Chapter 499: Fire
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
During the recording today, Yu Han thought that she did not do anything overboard to Su Lan. She had also seen the videos and photos sent by Shen Qing’s team, but she did not find any big problems.
If Su Lan’s team wanted to make an issue out of this, it would not be lethal to Yu Han. She was afraid that the other party still had a backup plan. Now that the other party had yet to make a move, it was useless for them to worry. They might as well save time and sleep for a while.
In the end, the conversation ended with a yawn from the two of them. Yu Han casually placed her cell phone on the head of the bed, covered herself with the blanket, and fell asleep.
In her half-asleep state, she thought she heard something. Annoyed, she covered her ears with the blanket, but the sound grew louder.
“Why is the soundproofing in this room so bad?” She turned over and sat up. The next second, an alarm suddenly sounded in the entire building.
It was a fire alarm! The hotel was on fire!
Yu Han perked up and hurriedly jumped off the bed.
She first turned on the light and looked around. Seeing that there was no smoke in the room, which proved that the fire was not nearby, she heaved a sigh of relief.
However, it was a fire after all. Escape was more important, so Yu Han hurriedly put on a coat, picked up her small bag and cell phone, and opened the door.
At this moment, many guests in the building were woken up. They ran out of the corridor in panic to see what was going on. In the end, everyone saw smoke coming out of the elevator.
“There’s a fire downstairs!” someone shouted.
This news, coupled with the ear-piercing alarm, made everyone panic and rush to the escape staircase.
Yu Han’s expression darkened.
The smoke came from below. It was unknown how long the fire had been burning, so there was no way to confirm where the fire had started on the lower floors. Unfortunately, Lang Yu’s room happened to be on the floor below hers.
Seeing that everyone was rushing towards the staircase in a panic, Yu Han instinctively slowed down and did not fight with them. Because in a fire, one of the main causes of casualties was a stampede, so sometimes it was not necessarily a good thing to run fast.
As she walked along the wall, she called Lang Yu anxiously. However, Lang Yu did not hear her. She called a few times, but no one picked up.
“Did this kid run away and forget to bring his cell phone?” If only that was the case. She was afraid that this silly kid would be trapped in the room.
At this moment, Yu Han happened to arrive at the floor below, which was where Lang Yu was.
The door to the escape stairs was already wide open. Guests kept rushing out. Yu Han was still calling Lang Yu on her cell phone, but no one picked up, nor did she see him.
Helpless, she could only run in against the crowd.
By now, more and more smoke was pouring up through gaps like the elevator and the stairway. The air was thick with a choking smell.
A kind male guest saw her running back and hurriedly pulled her back. “Miss, human lives are more important. Why aren’t you running away?”
“I have a friend inside!” Yu Han broke free from the other party’s hand and ran away like a loach.
She had heard from Lang Yu that he lived in Room 1728, which happened to be at the end of the corridor. Yu Han looked at the number plate on the door as she ran. After taking a few turns, she finally found the number plate for Room 1728.
In the other rooms, the door was basically open because the guests had run away. However, the door to Room 1728 was closed, so it was very likely that Lang Yu was really still in the room.
She knocked on the door and twisted the doorknob hard, but she accidentally broke it. The door did not open, and there was no movement inside. She looked around and finally found a fire hydrant around the corner.
She rushed over and broke out the fire hammer, then smashed open the protective glass. She took out a heavy fire extinguisher from inside and smashed it at the door of 1728.
The quality of the hotel’s door was not bad. Yu Han smashed it seven to eight times before finally smashing a bowl-sized hole in the door. She threw the fire extinguisher away and reached in to unlock the door inside. Finally, she opened the door.
A scream suddenly sounded in the darkness. “Wow! There’s a thief!”
Yu Han turned on the lights in the room speechlessly and saw Lang Yu and a man who looked a little familiar hugging the blanket and curled up on the bed with a frightened expression.
“Scream my ass!” Yu Han roared.
“Hanhan, why are you here?” Lang Yu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw her. Then, he saw smoke surging into the room from the corridor.
The two of them were a little stunned.. “What happened?”
