"It's always bad to have a grudge with an adult that comes down to a child. ”

Now that she has been recognized, there is no need for her to pretend. Seeing that the other party would not let the two of them leave at all, Ji Ran tried to distract the other party's attention while chatting, and at the same time grabbed Gao Xinya tighter.

"You know a fart, isn't Gao Yecheng the most precious of his own children? Now let's see if the red ticket is important in his eyes, or his precious daughter is important. ”

Although Gao Xinya didn't understand it very well, she subconsciously felt that the man in front of her exuded a dangerous smell, and she shrank behind Ji Ran even more fearfully.

"Have you ever wondered if it didn't work?"

"Anyway, you can't turn back, if it's useless......." His eyes were firmly fixed on Gao Xinya's exposed arm: "It's not bad to have someone to go to hell with you." ”

This person is crazy, and there is only one thought left in Ji Ran's heart now. The other party approached step by step, and she could only step back step by step.

"Calm down, if you let us go now and stop, I can help you. ”

The man stopped, as if he had heard something funny, the expression on his face was entangled, and the somewhat drooping triangular eyes were even more crowded together, looking extremely weird:

"Just you, how can you help me?"

"I'm a journalist and can help you report on the unfair treatment you're receiving. ”

"Heh, reporter?" Da Chen's face was even more resentful: "If you mix with someone like Gao Yecheng, what kind of good reporter will there be, I'm afraid it won't be a reporter who can only sneak around! We used to believe reporters, but what happened? Turning around, he sold us and tried his best to say good things for Gao Yecheng, and if I believe you again, I just have a problem!"

"How many reporters have you just met? Why is your tone so loud, just by your eyes, you can see that I am not doing a good thing?" Ji Ran was a little angry, and his tone became excited:

"What are you when you encounter difficulties and only know how to go crookedly and find other people's children to be angry?"

As if he had been stabbed in the pain point, Da Chen snorted twice and didn't say why, but still looked at her viciously:

"Anyway, I don't believe you, and even if I believe in you now, it's too late to change anything!"

After he finished speaking, he took a step forward, reached out and grabbed Gao Xinya, who was shrinking behind Ji Ran, and grabbed her and pulled her to his side.

Gao Xinya was frightened by the action, and subconsciously cried, and then was covered by Da Chen's other hand.

The whole movement was very fast, Ji Ran only had time to grab Gao Xinya's other arm, she used a little strength, and Da Chen was deadlocked.

"She's just a child, you will scare her like this, think about your own child, do you want to be threatened like this, and then leave a shadow in the future?"

Da Chen's expression loosened for a moment, but he quickly relented.

"If I don't succeed today, they will have a bigger shadow. ”

After speaking, he forcibly broke Ji Ran's hand holding Gao Xinya, heard her low cry of pain, shook her off, and threw her to the ground.

"I'm sorry, you're going to be nosy and bumped into the muzzle of the gun today. I don't want to ruin all plans because of you. ”

After speaking, he took out a bottle from the cabinet next to him, snapped, and fell to the ground.

When the strong smell of gasoline rises, Ji Ran's head is fried, which ...... It's going to be extinguished.

She stood up on the ground and threw herself towards Da Chen, quickly choking his neck, but how could the strength of a girl be worth the man who had been engaged in labor activities, so before Ji Ran could kick his dangerous parts, Da Chen had already pushed her to the ground.

Then he quickly snatched her bag and walked to the door.

"I'm sorry, it's just when you're unlucky. ”

Reflecting the flame of the lighter, he dropped such a sentence, threw the lighter in his hand to the ground, looked at the sudden flames, and closed the door.

When Ji Ran rushed to the door, there was only the sound of anti-locking, and she pushed hard a few times, but it was useless.

Because it was a temporary storage room, there were a lot of tables, chairs and benches in the room, and soon, the flames gradually reached the vicinity of the wood, and the oxygen absorbed during the burning also made the air in the room gradually become heavy.

Calm, calm down.

Ji Ran took a deep breath and reminded himself. She grabbed her hair, suddenly lowered her head, and reached down the edge of her skirt to reach for the spare machine tied to her waist.

Fortunately, she made sufficient preparations today, she trembled and found a corner that had not yet been invaded by the smoke, and broadcast the phone with shaking hands.

***

When the phone rang, Bai Xingchen was being called by Gao Yecheng to meet some business partners. The bell interrupted Gao Yecheng's eloquent words, and he glanced at Bai Xingchen's pocket with some displeasure.

He took it out and glanced at the call silently, there was no note, just a string of unfamiliar numbers.

At this time, the best choice seemed to be to press the phone, but Bai Xingchen had some faint uneasiness in his heart, and his intuition told him that if he missed this call, he would miss a lot of important things, and the entertainment here really made him a little breathless, so he pretended not to understand Gao Yecheng's displeasure, signaled, and stepped aside.

"Hey, hello?"

"Bai Xingchen, Gao Xinya is in danger, someone wants to kidnap her and threaten Gao Yecheng, and now she has been taken away from the storage room here around the corner, and the sound is heading to the right....... Cough...... Ahem...... Then there was a fire in here and I was locked inside...... Cough....... Ahem"

Her voice was so hoarse that Bai Xingchen's heart jumped, and her speech speed increased a little:

"Where are you?"

Ji Ran hurriedly reported an approximate location, the smoke had now gradually deprived her of the strength to speak, every time she said more, her throat was full of burning pain, and she simply pressed the phone after reporting the position.

Bai Xingchen put away his mobile phone uneasily, walked to Gao Yecheng's side in a few steps, and whispered in his ear.

"You bring people over, be careful, and keep a low profile. ”

Gao Yecheng's brows furrowed tightly, worried about Gao Xinya's safety, but at the same time, he was also worried that the big thing would have an impact on his social reputation, so he forced his anxiety and ordered Bai Xingchen.

Bai Xingchen's heart was also beating fast at the moment, and a strong sense of uneasiness swept over. He hurried out of the hall with the people lurking in all corners of the hall.

***

When people are in a crisis situation, a minute will always stretch like a day. Just like Ji Ran now, within a few minutes of hanging up the phone, he felt like he had been waiting for several days.

When will Bai Xingchen come over?

As soon as such a thought came to him, Ji Ran shook his head.

Forget it, it's better to rely on yourself first.

She fumbled around the cupboard, covered her nose with the leftover cloth, then rubbed her sore eyes and looked around.

Fortunately, the fire could still leave her some room to move, Ji Ran looked at it a few times, and quickly set the target on the wall facing outward, there was a half-meter-sized window on the wall, which was locked tightly.

Ji Ran couldn't care so much about it, so he hurriedly lifted a few chairs that were not burned by the flames, stacked them one by one, carried a wooden stick in his hand, and climbed up with his hands and feet.

Once, twice, three times, Ji Ran used all the strength of his body to desperately smash the tightly closed small window, and the heavy glass let out one whimper after another, but after trembling, it returned to its original state.

No, I really can't use my strength.

The symptoms of hypoxia are becoming more and more obvious, and Ji Ran also knows that with his current strength, he is afraid that he will have to faint before he can pry open the window.

Bai Xingchen, Bai Xingchen, I really have to count on you now.

Ji Ran thought about it in his heart, and some messy thoughts came up in his mind, including about relatives, about growing up, about friends who had walked hand in hand for several years, although noisy but extremely sincere, and about Bai Xingchen, who had saved her several times.

Her whole body seemed to be drained of all her strength, her thoughts were scattered, and she could only rely on the last bit of willpower to put a napkin on her nose.

In the firelight, she saw what seemed to be shaking even the walls. As it staggered, the door creaked open.

***

Sitting on the stairs, Ji Ran finally coughed up all the exhaust gas in her lungs, and after panting, the feeling of being reborn made her heartbeat finally slowly return to normal.

Bai Xingchen patted her on the back and heard her first question:

"Gao Xinya is okay, right?"

patted her hand and paused, finally escaped death, the first question was actually concerned about the safety of others, it was really ......

Although he was a little helpless in his heart, Bai Xingchen still replied gently:

"It's okay, people have been caught. ”

"Okay, what are you going to do with it?"

"It's locked up now...... I don't know ......."

Before the words were finished, the person who was standing not far away suddenly called out respectfully, "Mr. Gao".

Bai Xingchen swallowed the next words into his stomach, and Ji Ran also closed his mouth in amusement.

Gao Yecheng was in a hurry, and he arrived in front of Ji Ran in a few steps, and his grateful expression did not seem to be fake at all.

"The little girl was able to get out of danger this time, thanks to Miss Ji, I will definitely keep this great kindness in my heart. ”

Before Ji Ran could speak, he bent over and said in a more sincere tone:

"Don't worry, I will definitely be responsible for Miss Ji's follow-up problems this time, and I will definitely not shirk anything that needs help in the future. ”

Ji Ran listened to his frightened tone when he mentioned Gao Xinya, his heart was sour, no matter how many bad things he did, for his children, Gao Yecheng sincerely cared for him, but his tenderness would probably only be used here.

"Mr. Gao is welcome.......

The voice was hoarse, and he couldn't stop coughing just after he opened his mouth, Bai Xingchen frowned, and gently patted her back again. Gao Yecheng didn't have any idea about his actions, he only thought it was his unique gentlemanly demeanor, and when he saw Ji Ran's state, he told her to rest well and contact him for anything, so he silently retreated.

As soon as he walked away, Ji Ran, who was coughing just now, instantly became normal.
