Chapter 29: Ye Han Makes His Move

  Ye Han immediately understood that this matter was not a simple case of arson, but might be related to the struggle between the great families of Huaxia, which made him think of the struggles between the cultivation sects in his previous life, where they would often have open and secret conflicts for their own interests.

  It is indeed true that "where there are people, there will be disputes".

  "I've already asked the local garrison for help, they said a few military rescue helicopters will be sent over soon......" Wang Chen let out a deep sigh, his brow furrowed in concern, and glanced at the room on the 8th floor of the hotel where Tang Xue was, praying: "Heaven bless us, I hope the fire isn't too fierce, and we can hold on until then."

  The two of them were assigned by Tang Xue's father to protect Tang Xue. If anything happens to Tang Xue, they will definitely bear the inescapable responsibility.

  The current situation is that several fire trucks are fighting the fire with all their might, but the flames are too fierce and several water guns seem to be having a hard time suppressing the spread of the big fire. They can only hope that the military rescue helicopters will arrive soon, at which point Tang Xue and other trapped tourists will be able to be rescued with the help of the helicopter.

  But heaven is not from people's wishes, Wang Chen and Li Gang both wanted to burn slowly, but since dawn, the wind has been blowing stronger and stronger, with the help of the wind, the big fire quickly spread from the fourth floor to the fifth floor. Many tourists ran out of their rooms and climbed onto the rooftop, amidst the rolling thick smoke, cries for help echoed everywhere.

  If things go on like this, I'm afraid that before help arrives from other quarters, the nine-storey hotel will be completely engulfed in flames.

  "No, can't wait any longer!" Li Gang gritted his teeth, a determined look on his face, and shouted loudly: "Wang Chen, you continue to request assistance, I'll go in to rescue Second Miss!"

  Wang Chen saw him make a move to charge forward and quickly pulled him back, saying sternly: "Li Gang, if you rush in now, it's the same as going to your death!"

  "I won't go in, am I supposed to just stand by and watch as Second Miss... she... she..." Li Gang said up to this point, his throat choking with sobs, stamping his foot: "Second Miss is only fifteen years old! Only fifteen years old! She's so young, if... if it ends like this, I'll spend the rest of my life in pain and guilt! Let me go, let me go in, as long as there's a glimmer of hope, I have to try!"

  Li Gang struggled with all his might, but Wang Chen just held on tight and wouldn't let go.

  "Alright, you two stop arguing!" Ye Han sighed and patted Li Gang's shoulder, saying: "Give me the wet quilt on your body, let me handle it!"

  He took a look at the fire and knew that if he hesitated any longer, the flames would continue to spread upwards, leaving them with no choice. At this point, just as Li Gang said, they could only take a risk and try rushing in.

  In Ye Han's mind, if he exerted his full strength and agility, plus the two layers of wet blankets on his body, he should be able to avoid burns. However, the most critical problem was how to bring Ye Zhuang and Tang Shuang down from the top floor after they met up. If they took the original route back, it might have been possible for him alone, but bringing one person with him would definitely not work, at least not without harming Ye Zhuang or Tang Xue. And if he jumped directly from the ninth floor, that was also something he couldn't do in his current state.

  Not far away, several firefighters were busy inflating a huge air cushion and then moving the air cushion as close to the hotel building as possible. Someone picked up a loudspeaker and called on tourists upstairs to jump onto the air cushion, but his call did not receive a response from the tourists upstairs.

  No kidding, the air cushion is still dozens of meters away from the building. If you jump down from the building, the probability of landing on the air cushion is pitifully small. In nine out of ten cases, you'll crash onto the hard ground and in 100% of the cases, you'll die instantly.

  Although staying upstairs may end up being buried in the sea of flames, for now the fire has not spread to the upper floors. As long as there is a glimmer of hope for survival, no one wants to risk their own life.

  Ye Han saw the thick, soft and huge air cushion, his heart suddenly moved, and he loudly said to Wang Chen and Li Gang: "You two go to the side of the air cushion and guard it, try to move the air cushion a bit closer to the hotel building. Then use the megaphone to tell the tourists on the upper floor to gather on the rooftop! After I get to the rooftop, I'll throw them one by one onto the air cushion! Oh, if you can still find more air cushions, fill them with air and put them downstairs, waiting for a while to pick up people!"

  Wang Chen and Li Gang stared at him in shock, seemingly thinking that his idea was a bit crazy. Ye Han solemnly said: "Don't worry, I'm confident!"

  After finishing this sentence, under the stunned gaze of Wang Chen and Li Gang, he tightened his wet blanket, covering as much of his body as possible with the wet blanket, then nodded at Wang Chen and Li Gang, turned around, and rushed towards the hotel entrance.

  He started running at a speed that wasn't particularly fast, but after a dozen or so steps, his feet began to accelerate, and by the time he approached the hotel entrance, in other people's eyes, he had transformed into a cheetah sprinting at full speed. In the blink of an eye, he had already broken through the fiery barrier at the hotel entrance and disappeared into the hotel.

  "So fast!"

  "Awesome!"

  Watching Ye Han's figure flash in, the speed was absolutely beyond what they could achieve. Wang Chen and Li Gang looked at each other in dismay, shocked once again, thinking that if Ye Han took action, maybe Second Miss would be saved?

  "Let's go take a look over by the air cushion!" Wang Chen said to Li Gang, putting away his phone and recalling Ye Han's words from earlier.

  Li Gang nodded and walked quickly with him to the already set up air cushion, after a few steps, he couldn't help but ask: "Old Wang, if you throw someone from the top of the building, can you throw them out for over ten meters?"

  Wang Chen looked up at the hotel rooftop and then glanced at the air cushion in front of him, shaking his head with a bitter smile: "I can't do it. Even if I use all my strength, I can only throw it five meters away."

  "Is he... is he okay?" Li Gang said, glancing into the hotel, unsure of Ye Han's current situation. At his terrifying speed, which was as fast as a cheetah, he should have already reached the safe zone on the upper floors of the hotel by now.

  "I don't know... but he's definitely a mastermind, and it's possible that he really has the skills. Wang Chen sighed and said: "Moreover, in our current situation, it seems we have no choice but to believe him."

  "Hmm, hopefully Second Miss is all right."

  Two people walked to the air cushion and took out their certificates from their bodies, showing them to several firefighters. After seeing their certificates, those firefighters immediately became serious and saluted the two in unison. Wang Chen nodded, whispered a few words with them, and then took over the command of the scene from them. With everyone's efforts, they moved the huge air cushion as much as possible towards the hotel building, and then concentrated several water guns to spray the passage leading to the top floor.
