Kiss Me Goodnight, Mrs. CEO! Chapter 195 - The Explosion Incident

Chapter 195: The Explosion Incident

No matter how fast she was, it was too late. Before she reached the exit, a deafening explosion erupted behind her.
Because of the impact of the explosion, Zuo Weiyi flung onto the floor.
When the noises died down, Zuo Weiyi lifted up her head in dread. However, she felt a high heat approaching her.
She turned her head and saw the pitch-black office was illuminated by a blazing fire, smoke instantly filled the room.
Looking at the fire in front of her, Zuo Weiyi’s eyes widened as she picked herself up from the ground.
She was planning to run toward the exit. Yet, when she got up, a part of the ceiling fell down and blocked her path.
The smoke grew thicker. She covered her nose and mouth with her sleeves while finding an exit.
In the meantime, the fire spread further, engulfing the whole floor.
Boom!
Another explosion occurred. Zuo Weiyi fell into dismay and immediately used both of her hands to cover her ears and ducked.
After a few seconds, she lifted her head up. With the scorching heat and the thick smoke, Zuo Weiyi felt as if the oxygens in her lung were being robbed away and she was suffocating.
Fear, helplessness, horror, and unease filled her mind in an instant. Looking at the fire that was all around her, she almost broke down.
When one was faced with death, their desire to survive would grow stronger.
She had nothing to live for anymore, yet when she thought about dying in an ocean of fire, a face flashed across her mind. It was none other than Shi Yuting’s face.
The exit was engulfed by fire. As the deadly inferno spread, the amount of smoke produced increased. After ten minutes of inhaling those hazardous air, Zuo Weiyi felt her consciousness fading away.
Seeing that the fire was spreading to her feet, Zuo Weiyi lifted her head up. In desperation, she saw that the tearoom was still safe from flames.
With her mouth and nose covered, she dashed to the tearoom.
On the other hand, at Dizun Corporation.
When Shi Yuting walked out of the lift, he immediately received a call from Xiang Yi.
“What’s up?”
His voice was as deep and irresistible as usual.
“Mr. Shi, an explosion suddenly happened in Zuoyue Corporation. According to the men we have assigned to follow Miss Zuo, she hasn’t left the place.”
After hearing his report, Shi Yuting immediately stopped in his tracks. The hand that was holding to his phone tightened.
“Are you sure?” He asked. His tone was visibly in disarray.
Xiang Yi fell silent for about two seconds.
Then, he slowly opened his mouth. “I’m afraid so. Our men are stationed at Zuoyue the entire time, Miss Zuo has not come out.”
As he listened to Xiang Yi’s words, Shi Yuting’s heart squeezed painfully. The grasp on his phone tightened again as if he wanted to crush it.
There was it again. The unease and anxiety he had never experienced before, except when it came to her.
He lifted his head and took off to the parking lot.
Sitting in his black Maybach, he drove it as quick as the wind toward Zuoyue Corporation.
***
In the tearoom, Zuo Weiyi found a towel. She quickly covered her nose and mouth after soaking it wet, not caring if the towel was dirty.
After doing so, it was easier to breathe.
But, she was aware that this method could only help her for a while.
Fortunately, her bag was with her all this time.
She took out her phone and was prepared to call 119.
However, she did not know that as soon as the explosion occurred, the security guard had already called them. The firefighters were on their way to Zuoyue Corporation.
