Chapter 10 — My House Is 42 Degrees Hot, Turns Out It's A Horrifying Plot

Uncle Ly pointed down at Vuong Cuong and Luu Phuong who were unconscious.

“Comrade!”

“These two people are the arsonists!”

“They also illegally renovated the electrical system, almost burning down the whole building!”

Immediately two firefighters stepped forward to control the couple. The rest of us started to take us away. A firefighter caught me. Take me out. When passing by Vuong Cuong. He suddenly raised his head. Look straight at me. No sound is emitted. Just move your lips. But I understand. I could read his lips. My heart suddenly tightened. He told me to run? Isn't he the person who hates me the most? Isn't it him who wants me dead? So why did you tell me to run? Is that a warning? Is it fear? What is he afraid of? Afraid of the people he just mentioned? Who will come and "tear everything down"? I don't have time to think anymore. Firefighters got us out of the smoke-filled room. Enter the hallway. The hallway was now filled with people. All are residents who have just been evacuated from the building. They wear pajamas. There was still a look of horror on his face after the accident. Seeing us walk out of that "legendary" apartment. Everyone turned their curious and shocked eyes towards this direction. We took the stairs. One floor at a time, run down. When passing by my apartment door. I suddenly stopped. Completely deformed. The anti-theft door was forced inward by the explosion. Warped and distorted. Black smoke continued to billow out from the crack in the door. Through that gap. I can see the living room inside. Everywhere is a scene of destruction. The fire burned fiercely. All my belongings. My past. The traces once proved that I lived in this place. They are all being burned in a sea of fire. I said to myself. The old is not lost. The new will not come. I squeezed the hard drive in my hand. This is the only thing I need to protect. We also ran out of the building gate. The outside was completely surrounded by fire trucks and police cars. Red and blue warning lights continuously flash in the dark. It's so bright that people can't keep their eyes open for long. I took a deep breath. The cold air carried the smell of dust and dirt into my lungs. I'm alive. I watched Vuong Cuong being escorted to the car by the police. It seemed like he also felt my gaze. He turned his head to look at me once. Those eyes were extremely complicated. There is resentment. There is unwillingness. And there was also a flash of... Pity? Right at that moment. I saw a man standing in the middle of the crowd outside the blockade fence. He wore a long black coat. Tall, straight figure. Amidst the panic and noise of the crowd. He looked strangely out of place. He did not look at the fire. Don't look at the police either. He just looked at me quietly. Or more precisely. Is looking at the hard drive in my hand. That look was like a deep ancient well with no bottom. But it carries a deadly attraction. Our eyes met for less than a second. He nodded slightly at me. That's not a friendly greeting. Which is a sign. Like a hunter who has just marked his prey. Right after that. He turned around. Quietly disappeared among the sea of people. Doesn't leave any traces. A cold blast penetrated straight from my spine to the top of my head. I got it.

"They"...

The medical staff put an oxygen mask on me. Check to see if I'm injured. I only inhaled a little toxic smoke. Other than that, there are no serious problems. But my mind is extremely chaotic right now. Vuong Cuong's last complicated eyes. The cold gaze of the man in black. It's all like a giant rock weighing down on my heart. Uncle Ly and the workers were also taken to the emergency area. Their condition is a little worse than mine. Everyone coughed violently. But luckily it's not life-threatening.

“Little sister, are you okay?”

Uncle Ly took off the oxygen mask. Worriedly asked me. I shook my head. Then took out a bank card from his pocket. That was the amount of money I was preparing to use to pay for moving fees.

“There are twenty thousand yuan in this card.”

“The password is six-eight.”

“I really thank everyone today.”

“If it weren't for you guys, I probably would have died up there.”

“Part of this money is wages.”

"For the rest, consider me inviting you guys to refresh your spirit."

Uncle Ly was stunned. Hastily pushed the card back.

“Little sister, what are you doing?”

“We don't help you for money!”

“Besides, the move hasn't been completed yet, so how can you receive so much money?”

My voice doesn't allow for refusal.

"Everyone risked their lives because of my problem, and was injured."

“This is what everyone deserves.”

“If anything.”

“I might need everyone's help with one more thing soon.”
