Era: You're asked to cook a home-style dish, but you cook Wellington.

The smoke and dust cleared.

Gao Yang curled up on the ground, feeling as if his internal organs had shifted and his body ached all over.

"Raise your voice! Raise your voice!"

Outside the wall, Su Wanqing and Old Man Lin were calling out anxiously.

They saw a thick plume of black smoke billowing out of the window, and the smoke rising inside was undoubtedly unavoidable.

That must be so hot!

Su Wanqing sadly shed tears.

The image of Gao Yang protecting her was still vivid in her mind; the scorching pain from the heatwave lasted only a moment, and she couldn't bear it.

Ke Gaoyang, he...

At this moment, firefighters kept running over.

"Did you escape? Is there anyone still inside?"

"Yes, there's another person inside!"

Su Wanqing felt as if she had grasped a glimmer of hope, and grabbed the firefighter's clothes, afraid that he would run away.

The firefighter patted Su Wanqing reassuringly, signaling her to let go, and then walked to the wall.

"Is the person inside still conscious?"

Gao Yang understood that someone had come to rescue him.

"Sober!"

His throat felt like it was being cut by a dull knife.

The firefighters outside frowned and quickly waved to their colleagues to come over.

"You two keep cooling down, we're going to remove the windows."

"yes!"

The four of them acted quickly.

Water jets from the high-pressure water gun sprayed into the window.

The other two worked together, carrying hydraulic shears, and pretended to forcibly dismantle the window.

"Hey bro, how's it going?"

The firefighters looked at Gao Yang and gasped when they saw the blood seeping from his wound.

"good."

Gao Yang replied.

The high-pressure water gun kept cooling him down, and the dense water droplets fell on Gao Yang's body. He felt cool all over, and compared to before, he felt incredibly comfortable now.

The firefighters acted swiftly, cutting the window sill in just two strokes with hydraulic shears.

He removed the window and reached out to pull Gao Yang.

Looking at the strong arms, Gao Yang also breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems we can get out now.

He was about to put his arm around the firefighter's arm.

At that very moment, a sudden change occurred.

Fierce flames surged forth, burning directly at the two of them.

"not good!"

Gao Yang's body stiffened.

No, there's absolutely no way to avoid it.

He could only watch as the raging fire was about to engulf him.

Su Wanqing outside seemed to sense something as well, her heart feeling as if it were being tightly gripped by a large hand.

She looked in Gao Yang's direction, her breath catching in her throat.

At the critical moment.

"Change!"

As the firefighter finished speaking, he and his teammate instantly switched positions, and the jet of water they were spraying changed shape, becoming an umbrella, which steadily brought the flames under control.

Gao Yang hid in the safe area, his heart pounding like a drum.

His senses were incredibly sharp; if it weren't for the firefighter's quick switch, he would have been burned alive in that instant.

"Quick, get on!"

A strong arm reached out again.

Without the slightest hesitation, Gao Yang braced his feet against the wall and was pulled out using the force.

"It's alive! It's alive!"

He lay on the ground, panting heavily.

Just now, I really felt like I was on the verge of death.

"Here, have some salt water."

Su Wanqing asked a nearby shopkeeper for a bowl of salt water and carefully fed it to Gao Yang.

Her hands trembled and her shoulders heaved as she fed the baby, but she couldn't hold back her tears any longer.

"How could you be so foolish? You almost died in there, do you know that?"

Su Wanqing's tears flowed freely as she looked at the man in front of her, covered in soot from protecting her, and her heart ached terribly.

Gao Yang forced a smile and took Su Wanqing's small hand in his.

Hmm, it's still so soft.

He thought this in his heart, but his face showed utmost tenderness.

"Okay, okay, I'm fine now."

He patiently coaxed Su Wanqing.

It took a long time for Su Wanqing to vent her emotions, but her eyes were still red.

"You can't do that again. You have to think about your own safety first."

Gao Yang nodded slightly.

Old Lin, standing to the side, wore a warm, aunt-like smile.

"Stop your lovey-dovey talk, the ambulance is here. Go to the hospital first."

His voice wasn't loud, but it startled the two of them.

Then the two of them remembered that there were other people around.

Su Wanqing's face turned bright red, she was so cute that Gao Yang felt like he didn't feel any pain anymore.

This scene made Old Lin's aunt-like smile even wider; even though he was in pain himself, he still couldn't resist making a joke.

"Su girl, when you get home, I'll talk to her on your behalf."

Shortly afterward, the three were taken to the hospital by ambulance.

Gao Yang had been bandaged up and was sitting on the bed, peacefully enjoying the fruit that Su Wanqing was feeding him.

"Boss, those two have been interrogated. They insist they're from the Green Dragon Gang and are seeking revenge."

Qian Liu stood beside Su Wanqing, reporting with a cold face.

At this moment, Su Wanqing had calmed down and put on her usual icy expression.

Her hand, which was peeling the apple, paused.

"It seems the other side has quite a background. Continue investigating, and if necessary, try to restore their memories."

Su Wanqing's words were cruel and cold-blooded.

Upon hearing this, Qian Liu nodded slightly, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

"Boss, don't worry, I've already spoken to the people. I'd like to see when I can get these two to talk."

After saying that, he left the room and headed to the police station.

Su Wanqing cut the apple into small pieces and used a toothpick to feed it to Gao Yang.

Gao Yang accepted with pleasure.

The air became much quieter for a moment.

"Mr. Lin, when are you going back?"

Sitting on the bed, Gao Yang went through everything. He figured the other party was too high-ranking, so it wasn't his place to take action. To break the peace, he looked at Elder Lin.

Old Lin had just taken a shower and changed his clothes.

His hair was hanging down normally.

After this experience, Old Lin finally understood how he would spend the rest of his life.

"Ahem, I'm leaving tomorrow."

Old Lin frowned, feeling a sharp pain in his lungs, as if muscles had grown from inhaling so much cigarette ash.

"Damn it, these guys really want to kill me."

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth, and even with his long-standing upbringing, he couldn't help but utter a curse.

"So fast?"

Su Wanqing was also surprised and turned to look at Old Man Lin.

Old Lin said helplessly, "If this hadn't happened, I was planning to stay here for a couple more days. Now it's all over. I'd better hurry back to Beijing to submit the materials."

Indeed, although Long Tianxiang has been imprisoned, the power behind him and the intricate network of relationships are still far from being fully understood.

Gao Yang recalled that this year, a nationwide campaign to crack down on organized crime began. This time, it wasn't just a small-scale operation in Yicheng; it was a comprehensive cleanup from top to bottom.

Old Lin continued, "Gao Yang, to be honest, we were able to survive this time thanks to you. But we can't reward you openly, otherwise we'll face retaliation. However, don't worry, you'll receive plenty of resources behind the scenes."

Gao Yang nodded.

Su Wanqing looked at the man sitting on the hospital bed, his body wrapped in bandages, and after thinking for a moment, said, "Gao Yang."

"What's wrong?"

Gao Yang looked down and met Su Wanqing's eyes. He felt that Su Wanqing seemed to have changed a little, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what had changed.

Su Wanqing opened her mouth, as if to say something, but ultimately did not say anything.

"fine."

She smiled and shook her head.

Just then, the ward door opened.

"President Su, Elder Lin, they've both confessed."
