Chapter 40 Doomed
For the worldly realm, you are a human being; But for someone, you are his whole worldβ
The headache was unbearable, it seemed that he was even frowning in a drowsiness, and his head hurt as if it was about to crack, Lu Huaining beat his heavy head with his hand in a daze, and looked around, in the dim room, there were vivid pictures on the TV that kept flickering tiredly.
This room is the fixed point for every time he drinks, so he sleeps here all night and no one will disturb him.
Last night's scene was in front of him, he saw the figure downstairs on the top floor of the building, and chased it down, but he saw an empty piece, and the feeling of falling from the peak of hope made his heart empty all of a sudden, and it felt as if he had hollowed out his whole person. He didn't go upstairs again, he drove straight here, asked for a bottle of wine, and drank to himself and fell asleep unconsciously.
Looking at the watch on his wrist, the hour hand was pointing to five o'clock, but he couldn't figure out whether it was five o'clock in the morning or five o'clock in the evening, and rubbed his tense temples again, and he walked away.
After leaving the private room and walking through the hall, he found that the whole bar was quiet as if he was sleeping, and looking at the waiter lying there on the bar, he thought it should be five o'clock in the morning.
Out of the bar, the unique coldness of the air in the early morning came to his face, but the air was wrapped in a burning smell, and when he looked up again, he found that there was an abnormal haze floating in the air, Lu Huaining frowned, and went to open the door.
"Bang!"
In the quiet morning, the sound of the car colliding with the car was particularly loud, Lu Huaining looked in the rearview mirror, and he reversed and rear-ended with others.
Spit out, Lu Huaining pursed his lips, secretly thinking that he must not have sobered up.
In a moment, the window glass was knocked on the buzz, and Lu Huaining was displeased, didn't he just bump into it? I didn't escape!
However, when he saw the face outside the car window, his brows suddenly tightened, "Chu Ci ......, "Shouldn't he take care of his injuries at home?"
But he was looking for him, when everyone thought that Lu Huaining was trapped in the building, he also rushed to the scene to attend but accidentally found that Lu Huaining's car was not in the company's parking lot, this discovery made him excited, he was crazy all over the city looking for him, when he saw Lu Huaining's car, he was so surprised that he forgot to step on the brakes and crashed into it all of a sudden.
"Mr. Lu, is that you? Is it really you? Chu Ci, a man who doesn't have any emotional changes at the top of Mount Tai, has a mixture of sadness and joy on his face at this time, and even the crystal liquid in his eyes is flashing, and even his voice is so flustered and unstable.
"What's wrong?" Lu Huaining had never seen his assistant look like this, and he looked puzzled.
Chu Ci shook his head, the excitement had already made him speechless, and he opened the car door after the most reluctance, and looked up and down Lu Huaining a few times before he said with a heart, "It's good if you don't have a problem, it's good if you don't have a problem, it's good ......if you don't have a problem."
"Chu Ci?" Lu Huaining was confused.
Chu Ci was excited, took a cigarette from Lu Huaining's car and lit it, took two puffs, and then began to set Sheng Tian on fire, and everyone thought that he was inside.
When Lu Huaining was already listening to Chu Ci's report, he had already driven the car towards Shengtian Building, and when he looked at it from a distance, there was no fire, only the scorched smoke was still swirling, and the sky was probably covered with smoke, and it was so thick.
"What is the reason?" Lu Huaining interrupted Chu Ci.
"I don't know what to do, but the fire started from the twenty-eighth floor, and everyone saw you in the company yesterday, and all the employees came in the middle of the night, and they gathered there......" Chu Ci said this, and paused, "Miss Xue is also here......
Hearing this, Lu Huaining's hand holding the direction obviously froze, and the next sentence of Chu Ci was like a bomb, bombarding his heart.
"Miss Xue rushed into the building......"
Lu Huaining didn't seem to hear it, but there was a loud banging sound in his ears......
Chu Ci turned on the car TV, and the picture of the reporter's tracking report was displayed in front of him - "The open fire in Shengtian Building has been completely extinguished so far, and the firefighters are inspecting, and other ignition points are ...... The girl in white who broke into the building regardless of life and death is still missing, and we will continue to track and report for you......"
She stormed the building?
Lu Huaining's brain buzzed, and all the nerves seemed to collapse instantly, leaving only a buzz, as if there were countless flies flying, and he had always been self-controlled, but at this time he was unprecedentedly chaotic, messy, scorched, and flustered......
Chu Ci looked at his boss's face carefully, so calm, and he knew that this was the pretend calm that Lu Huaining would only have when he was most flustered.
"Miss Xue should have heard the news and rushed here......" Chu Ci explained in a low voice.
Suddenly, Chu Ci's neck suddenly tightened, Lu Huaining grabbed his collar, and roared tremblingly, "She broke in?" How can you let her break in? "......" Chu Ci was suffocated by being pinched, but he didn't resist.
She broke in, no one expected it, and at that time, Chu Ci was not at the scene, even if he was at the scene, what could he do? The firefighters watched her break in, wasn't they helpless?
"Now the firefighters are already looking for her in fireproof clothing......" Chu Ci endured the discomfort of being strangled, but still relieved.
Lu Huaining let go, turned around and jumped out of the car, and went straight to the building, Chu Ci reacted and quickly chased after him, "Mr. Lu, you can't go over!" β
Lu Huaining's bloodshot eyes stared at Chu Ci fiercely and grabbed his hand, which was shocking, but Chu Ci didn't let go, "If you go in now, you can't do anything, you can only add to the chaos...... And all the media are coming, all the media are watching all this, and you are going to complicate the whole thing by going over like this......"
"She's inside, she's ...... inside" Lu Huaining roared, raised his hand, and shook off Chu Ci.
She must have thought she was in there, so she rushed in, fool, only her paranoid stupid, fool would do such a stupid thing.
Even if he's in, what can she do when she goes in? Die with him?
Cat, I used to expect your madness, but at this moment I wish you could be selfish.
There were sour bubbles in his heart tumbling, and the most sour bubbles gathered together, and his chest seemed to burst open, "Chu Ci, she can't be fine...... I don't want her to have anything to do! β
"Mr. Lu, I have already notified the fire officers and soldiers and asked them to rescue Miss Xue at all costs......" Chu Ci regained his respect and coldness on his face, and Lu Huaining looked at the building that had been unrecognizable overnight, and felt that he was so powerless, even incompetent.
The fist slammed into the car, making a muffled sound in the early morning mist, watching him use masochism to relieve the pain in his heart, Chu Ci stepped forward to support him, "Mr. Lu, you need to calm down now, now everyone is speculating about your life and death, so before half past eight, you have to hold a press conference, otherwise as soon as the stock opens, Shengtian's shares will be seriously affected!" β
Lu Huaining closed his eyes, not daring to look at the mansion again, it didn't matter to him that the mansion burned down, but she was inside......
Xue Zuining, you are stupid! Why do you want to go in?
"Cat ......" In the corner of Lu Huaining's closed eyes, there was a crystal fall, like a star flashing before dawn.
Lu Huaining sat in the car, staring blankly, various reports came from time to time on the car TV, but those were all nonsense news that could only make his expectation disappointed again and again, and now at this moment, he realized that everything was so unimportant, if he was willing to exchange everything for her, he just wanted her to be safe!
"Audience, audience ......" suddenly, the reporter's hurried voice came from the TV, "The girl in white, who has attracted everyone's attention, now has the latest situation......
This sound was like a shot in the arm, piercing Lu Huaining's numb heart, he held the TV in both hands, staring at the picture, only to see the camera facing the exit of the building, a firefighter wearing protective clothing, holding a girl in his arms.
The girl's hair was spread out, like vines without roots fluttering lightly in the wind, her arms were low, swaying under the footsteps of holding others, the clothes on her body were no longer colorless, and a pair of feet without shoes, black or white, she was like a dirty doll without a little life......
"Now the girl's condition is uncertain for the time being, and it is not clear why she broke into the mansion regardless of life and death, but everyone guesses that there must be someone in the mansion who means something to her...... So far, the girl in white is the only person found in the building, and as for Lu Huaining, the president of Shengtian, who everyone cares about, her whereabouts are still unknown......" Lu Huaining's body fell into the car seat, and he saw Xue Zuining on the screen being carried into the ambulance, and then he couldn't see her anymore.
When Lu Huaining started the car to rush to the hospital, Chu Ci stopped him, "Mr. Lu, not now, all the media are paying attention to her, you can't get close to ......" Not to mention that Xue Zuining is a public figure, and it won't take long for the media to recognize her identity.
"Chu Ci, I want to see her, I can't wait for a second, you have to find a way!" Lu Huaining waved Chu Ci's hand, and the car drove towards the hospital.
He wants to see her, no matter what the reporter, no matter what the consequences will be, he just knows that he wants to see her, whether she is alive or dead?
Chu Ci looked at the man beside him, and finally dialed the phone, "Notify all the people, find a way to separate those reporters, Mr. Lu is going to meet people...... Yes, the president is fine! β
Hanging up the phone, Chu Ci looked at the nervous man, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, "She will definitely be fine!" β
She will definitely be fine, Lu Huaining has always said to himself in his heart, but when he thought of her lifeless appearance on TV just now, the panic in his heart could not be described in words.
"Chu Ci ......," Lu Huaining muttered in a low voice.
Chu Ci took a cigarette and put it to his mouth and lit it for him, at this time, Lu Huaining was like an air bag under high pressure, which would burst at any time. Looking at the street outside the window, which had become lively, Chu Ci also prayed silently in his heart: Xue Zuining must not be fine.
The entanglement between these two people, the reason for this, although Chu Ci is an outsider, can also see a little clearly, and even watching his boss gradually get lost in this transaction for the purpose of revenge, Chu Ci is panicked, and even thought about Xue Zuining leaving, in this way, Lu Huaining will still be the man who was not bound by anything and was indifferent like a god before.
However, when Xue Zuining rushed into the building regardless of life and death today, looking at Lu Huaining's heart-rending pain, Chu Ci remembered a sentence, some people have some things and some love have long been predestined.
It's just that there are still so many stumbling blocks on their way forward, can they really bypass those stones and go all the way to the end?
