Blazing Armour - Chapter 185
Running back to the car, Ren Yu took the door and was about to leave. He even forgot that there was Qu Yangbo. Until Qu Yangbo slapped the window, he seemed to wake up from a dream. He suddenly stepped on the brake and looked at Qu Yangbo through the window. His sharp eyes were full of panic and fear.
Qu Yangbo pulled open the door and ordered, “get off and I’ll open it.”
“I…”
“Come down!” Qu Yangbo couldn’t help but drag Ren down, “can you drive in this state?”
Ren Yu was dragged to stagger for two steps, and his chaotic brain finally found a trace of clarity.
He used to be quite confident in his calm and decisive response to the crisis. He was severely trained. No matter how dangerous the accident was, he allowed himself to have fear and worry, but at the same time, he could face it calmly. Now I understand that care is chaos.
He went around to the co pilot and got into the car. His thick eyelashes shook uneasily.
Qu Yangbo started the car and patted Ren Yu’s chest. “You call first, I’ll get there as fast as possible. Team Chen should be with the old captain. It’ll be fine.”
Ren Ying pinched his cell phone and dialed Ren Xiangrong’s phone. No one answered. He dialed Chen Xiaofei’s phone again. Still no one answered. His heart sank and his face turned white: “Yangbo, do you have aunt Xu’s phone?”
“Yes.” Qu Yangbo turned out his mobile phone and dialed it. The phone soon got through. He just heard him say, “aunt Xu, did you go to dinner with team Chen? What? HMM… I, I know.”
After hanging up the phone, Qu Yangbo’s face was also ugly: “she didn’t go.”
“What?”
“She said that Captain Chen only said there was a meal today and didn’t tell her where to go.”
Ren Yi took a breath: “Captain Chen clearly said that day that he would take her to see my father. Why did he change his mind temporarily? Now they don’t answer the phone. What happened!” Chen Xiaofei arrived at four o’clock. Now he is alone with his father. Combined with the police’s suspicion of Chen Xiaofei, how can he not think more? He is burning with anxiety.
Qu Yangbo naturally thought of this layer, but he didn’t participate in the investigation of the case that year. He didn’t know how suspicious Chen Xiaofei was. He comforted: “don’t be too nervous. If you don’t answer the phone, you may not have something. Feilan is not good. Now there’s no traffic jam, and we’ll be there soon.”
Ren Yu nodded his head like a mechanical puppet, as if as long as he kept giving a positive response, what Qu Yangbo said would come true.
The car sped along.
The dusk fell from the sky, and the bean sized setting sun was scarlet as blood. It was struggling to release the last light and heat on the horizon. Everywhere it could be seen, it was its evening glow, but even the energy that glowed in the sky was only a few minutes. Under their gaze, they could not resist to return to silence.
It’s completely dark.
Qu Yangbo rushed to the nursing home as fast as he said.
Seeing approaching, they suddenly heard a familiar sound behind them – the siren of a fire engine.
Both of them looked in the rearview mirror, but their field of vision was limited. Ren Yi simply opened the window and looked out. There was a fire engine behind, and the vehicles in front were trying to make way for it.
Qu Yangbo pulled Ren Yi back, and his hand trembled slightly: “it’s coming, turn this corner.”
Turning this corner, there is no shelter from several high-rise buildings, and the vast nursing home at the end of the road has been vaguely visible. They clearly saw the black smoke rising in the distance. They no longer needed any evidence. All the worst guesses came true.
Ren Yu felt his blood become ice in an instant.
They still did it to their father. Is it revenge, has another purpose, or both?
Qu Yangbo gasps. This long street seems to have no end. Why can’t it come in an instant?!
They rushed into the gate of the nursing home. Two police cars had stopped in front of the main office building. The scene was in chaos. Several policemen were helping doctors and nursing workers to transfer the elderly. The sound of fire engines was getting closer and closer behind them.
Ren Zhuo rushed out of the car. At a glance, he saw Gong Yingxian’s car parked next to the police car and Qiu Yan who was anxiously calling.
“Captain!” Qiu Yan saw him and hung up, “you…”
“Where’s my father!” The only blood color on Ren Yu’s face came from his red eyes.
“Captain Ren, calm down first…”
“Where’s my father!” Ren Yu has judged from outside the building that his father’s ward is in the area with fire and smoke!
“Ying Xian went to find him.” Qiu Yan’s face was sweating, “he, he put on a fire blanket and a gas mask, just…”
It’s even worse.
Ren Yu rushed in before he heard it.
Qu Yangbo hugged him from behind and shouted, “the fire engine will arrive right away, right away.”
“Let go of me!” Ren Yu struggled like a trapped animal and hit Qu Yangbo’s chest with his elbow.
Qu Yangbo’s face was deformed with pain. He scolded: “you’re not a fucking fireman! You don’t have anything now. Do you want to save people or die! No one will let you in like you!” He imprisoned Ren Yu’s waist and forced people to the ground.
Both of them fell to the ground. Qu Yangbo held Ren Yu in his arms. His voice was choked: “the fire engine is here. Put on battle armor and I’ll go with you.”
Ren Yu uttered a wail, and his heart was like fried fire, which was painful.
Two of his most important people in the world were in the fire.
The fire engine stopped behind them and heavily armed firefighters jumped out of the car.
Qu Yangbo got up and pulled Ren Yi from the ground: “brother Mao, give us two sets of equipment.”
Cheng Mao, captain of Bali fire squadron, looked at them in surprise: “Why are you here?”
Qu Yangbo said anxiously, “Ren’s father is here. Hurry up and give us two sets of equipment!”
Cheng Mao stared. He looked at the lost Ren Yu and shook his head flatly: “he’s like this. He can’t go into the fire.”
Ren Yi forced himself to take a breath from the heavy pressure of 10000 tons. He rubbed his face hard and said calmly as far as possible: “brother Cheng, let me in. My father is inside.”
“I know, but you’re not in good shape. It’s my responsibility to go in and have an accident.” Cheng Mao began to command the soldiers to set up ladders and prepare water guns to prepare for rescue.
Ren Yu followed behind Cheng Mao: “I promise to listen to your command.”
“We’ll get your father out.”
“Brother Cheng!” Ren Yi grabbed Cheng Mao’s collar and begged, “I beg you, brother, I beg you once in my life. I beg you.”
Cheng Mao sighed, hesitated for a moment, and ordered the soldiers around him: “take two sets of equipment from the car.” He said sternly to Ren Yu, “do what you say, or I will never let you go.”
Ren Ying picked up the equipment handed to him by a soldier and quickly put it on. Since his negative news was exposed on the Internet, he hasn’t worn a rescue suit for nearly three months, but he has performed this action thousands of times, which has been engraved into the bone marrow and formed muscle memory. One day, like his father, he may forget how to run, but he will never forget how to wear a fire rescue suit.
Cheng Mao divided three teams of people. One team raised the ladder, one team prepared the water gun for standby, one team entered the inpatient department for search and rescue, and two squadrons were on their way.
“What is the cause of the fire?” Qu Yangbo asked Cheng Mao.
“I don’t know yet, but the fire spread very fast. It can’t be ruled out that it was arson with combustion supporting agent.”
“It must be arson.” Ren Yu hated so much that he almost broke his teeth. If Ziyan was in front of him, he could swallow and peel his life alive.
“Are you so sure?” Cheng Mao seemed to think of something, “it’s related to the criminal organization organized by the police and fire control in Hongwu district last year?”
Before Ren had time to answer, there was a loud noise overhead. They were running to the entrance of the inpatient department. The explosion was right above them. The earth trembled under their feet and forced to face the explosion shock wave. Windows broke.
“Run!” Cheng Mao shouted and ran to the inpatient department.
The glass fragments rained down and turned into a sharp knife. What’s more, the whole piece fell. It was a “guillotine” with greater lethality than a sharp knife. A group of people ran wildly with their heads. In just a few seconds, adrenaline was secreted wildly. They only heard the sound of breaking constantly behind them, and they almost jumped into the bunker.
Cheng Mao got up from the ground and looked back to check his soldiers: “is anyone hurt? Say a word.”
Everyone reported peace one after another. They just looked at the place they had just passed, the broken glass on the ground, and felt a lingering fear.
“The natural gas valve has been closed. It may be that the residual gas in the pipeline has been detonated. Be careful after entering.”
Ren Yu couldn’t wait for more than a second, but he stopped with reason.
Cheng Mao said, “there are four floors here, one for every three people. Ren Yu and Yang Bo, follow me to the third floor.”
The third floor, the floor where his father is located, is also the fire floor.
The three men ran upstairs. Each of them put on an extra mask to answer the air call and entered the fire.
Ren Yu knows that Gong Yingxian’s trunk is always equipped with fire-fighting equipment, fire extinguishers, gas masks, fire blankets, insulating gloves, etc., but those things can only last for a while. When he is most worried, this is a fire, a real fire.
Gong Yingxian, he doesn’t even want to get close to the stove. How dare he enter the fire?!
