With gritted teeth, Song Yu declared, “This is just her facade. In reality, she’s malicious, fierce, very…”
Before Song Yu could finish, Gu Dai’s voice emerged from behind her.
Gu Dai remarked, “I didn’t expect someone to have such a strong opinion of me behind my back.”
Upon seeing Gu Dai approaching, Song Yu’s expression stiffened. Regaining her composure, she avoided his gaze and forced herself to speak, “You should be reflecting on why I dislike you and change your ways!”
Gu Dai, calming the angry Su Ting, looked at Song Yu indifferently and said, “Then tell me the reason for your dislike. After all, if you don’t say it, I won’t know how to change.”
Song Yu had braced herself for Gu Dai’s anger and even prepared to cry in front of Song Ling later. However, Gu Dai didn’t react as expected.
But, articulating the reasons for hating Gu Dai…
After a moment of reflection, Song Yu opened her mouth but couldn’t utter a word, her complexion growing increasingly poor.
Gu Dai helped her, “Is it because I no longer let myself be bullied by you as before, and I’ve learned to fight back, so you hate me?”
Feeling Lin Rong’s complex gaze upon her, Song Yu’s face grew uglier. She bit her lip and stammered, “I, I didn’t, I…”
Before she could continue, Gu Dai suddenly smelled something burning.
With a cold expression, Gu Dai declared, “It seems like there’s a fire. Quickly, spread the word and call the professionals to put it out!”
Soon, everyone learned of the fire and rushed towards the hotel.
“How could there be a fire? What about the safety measures?”
“I don’t know, I heard the fire started backstage.”
“Let’s not talk anymore; we better leave quickly!”
Suddenly, Song Ling remembered that Gu Dai had headed towards the backstage. He stopped in his tracks and rushed there instead.
Zhao Xuan called out, “President Song, this way… President Song, where are you?”
Without hesitation, Song Ling plunged into the burning backstage, shouting, “Gu Dai, Gu Dai, are you in there?”
Silence surrounded him, broken only by the crackling flames.
In that moment, Song Ling realized the absurdity of his actions. With so many men around Gu Dai, they must have taken her away when the fire started. He didn’t need to come to her rescue.
Preparing to leave with a stern face, Song Ling turned and was engulfed in darkness at the sight of the roaring flames. Memories of a childhood fire engulfed him in despair.
He collapsed, his eyes closing slightly. Above him, a box, weakened by the flames, swayed precariously, ready to fall.
This time, no one was there to save him…
Song Ling closed his eyes, awaiting death.
Hidden nearby, Jiang Yue watched with a smile curling her lips. She then rushed out, crying, “Brother Song Ling, are you alright? Hold on, I’ll get you out of here!”
Song Ling opened his eyes, incredulously staring at Jiang Yue, “Why are you here?”
Jiang Yue’s crying paused, then quickly resumed, “Brother Song Ling, now’s not the time for that. Let me save you first!”
Jiang Yue knew of a secret path backstage leading outside.
Song Ling refused, “Go by yourself. I have a phobia of fire; my legs are too weak to move. And don’t trouble Gu Dai after you leave!”
Jiang Yue was infuriated that Song Ling was still thinking of Gu Dai at such a time.
The teetering box finally gave way, plummeting downwards.
Song Ling’s pupils dilated, shouting at Jiang Yue, “Run!”
Jiang Yue saw the falling box and instinctively ran.
But realizing the opportunity, she threw herself onto Song Ling, allowing the box to fall on her, then looked up, crying, “Brother Song Ling, I love you. Remember me after I die.”
Tears fell from Song Ling’s eyes as he gently spoke to the unconscious Jiang Yue, “Even if you don’t died, I would remember you. Don’t die, Jiang Yue, Jiang Yue…”
The firefighters arrived just as the fire was about to reach Song Ling and Jiang Yue, quickly extinguishing it.
Seeing them, Song Ling urgently yelled, “Quick, save her!”
Meanwhile, Gu Dai questioned the person in charge.
“How could a fire start so suddenly?”
The person in charge shook his head, “I don’t know. We checked all the facilities yesterday.. There shouldn’t have been any accidents!”
