156. Death threats
Xia Nianxi slept until midnight and was suddenly choked up, and when she sat up, she found that the room was full of smoke.
"Ahem...... "Ahem" uncovered the quilt, and just as he was about to get off the ground, he fell to the ground with a sour body, the temperature of the room was getting higher and higher, and Xia Nianxi's face turned pale with fright.
A fire?
She has to save herself, her brother is next door, she is going to find him!
Phone...... Where's the phone?
The phone was in the living room, not in the bedroom, Xia Nianxi stood up on the edge of the bed, she was weak, she gritted her teeth and walked to the door, stretched out her hand to push the door open, there was more smoke in the living room, and she could vaguely see a fire at the door.
Breathing heavily, she leaned against the doorframe, and hurried footsteps and screams rang out from the hallway.
βinhereοΌβ
"Help...... Over here...... ...... choked with tears, Xia Nianxi hurriedly closed the door, leaning against the back of the door, she tried to breathe.
The suite she lived in was second only to the presidential suite, and when the Situ family booked a room, they were afraid that it would be too good and would cause unnecessary trouble, so she lived in a quiet suite.
The room is located in the innermost corner of the fourth floor, and it is generally rare for guests to come inside, so Xia Nianxi can live here quietly without being disturbed.
"Brother ......" If Situ Xian is asleep, will he have an accident?
Not daring to think about that possibility, Xia Nianxi covered his mouth and nose with his hands, looking at the bathroom close at hand, but he couldn't use any strength at all.
There was less oxygen in the air, and her consciousness was fading.
Hold on to the wall step by step and move to the bathroom, her fingers weakly turned on the faucet, and as soon as she pulled down the towel to soak it, Xia Nianxi fell to the ground, her consciousness was still clear, but her body couldn't move, and it didn't take long for her to fall into a coma.
A huge fire broke out in the hotel suddenly, most of the people were evacuated, everyone stood in embarrassment at the door of the hotel, some people only wore pajamas, and some people ran out wearing only underwear.
Cheng Nuo was anxious to look for it in the crowd, "Miss Xia? Miss Xia, are you there? β
After looking around the crowd, it was clear at a glance that Xia Nianxi was not there.
took out his mobile phone to call Xia Nianxi's phone, but still no one answered, Cheng Nuo nervously dialed another person's phone, "Something happened, the hotel was on fire, I couldn't find where she was, and no one answered the phone, what should I do?" β
The person on the other end of the phone didn't say a word and hung up the phone.
Grabbed his mobile phone and saw that the fire was about to burn to the room where Xia Nianxi lived, Cheng Nuo's heart was beating wildly, and he took out his mobile phone to dial another call, "There was a fire in the hotel where Xia Nianxi lived, no one can be sure that she is not in the hotel......"
Half an hour later, the two cars arrived at the door of the hotel at the same time, Rong Xiu got out of the car and rushed into the crowd, but was stopped by the police and kept persuading them to retreat.
"I'm a doctor, let me in, I might be able to help someone who is hurting." Qiao Ancheng brought an internationally recognized doctor's license to the police.
The two policemen muttered quietly for a while, getting out of the way for Qiao Ancheng to enter.
Qiao Ancheng threw four words at Rong Xiu and hurriedly ran into the injured crowd, "I'll go find her." β
Seeing that Qiao Ancheng had entered, Rong Xiu's eyes were bloodshot, "Get out of the way!" β
The policeman said in broken English: "Danger, it's dangerous here, we can understand your feelings, but the rescue team has already tried to enter the hotel, trust us." β
"My wife is inside, let me in!" Rong Xiu tried to stay calm, but his hands couldn't help shaking, he could barely hold the phone.
Rong Xiu suddenly felt a suffocation in his heart, he covered his heart, and muttered in his voice, "Is it you?" It's hard, don't be afraid, I'll come to your rescue. β
Bang! There was a sudden explosion on the fourth floor, and the people around him retreated in panic, Rong Xiuxin was like an ant on a hot pot, he opened a policeman blocking the road with one punch and rushed inside.
Several Italian policemen rushed up, raised their batons, and warned sharply: "Sir, please stand back!" β
"My wife is inside, don't stop me." He spoke in Italian, gritting every word to the root of his teeth.
Rong Xiu was so anxious that the bruises in his neck flared up, killing intent flashed in his eyes, and the muscles in his body tensed, as if he was about to kill in the next second.
"There's also a woman upstairs, the fire is too bad, who is her family?" The captain of the rescue team shouted in the crowd with a bullhorn.
Rong Xiu shouted, "I'm here!" β
The captain hurriedly walked over, asked the police to get out of the way, and brought Rong Xiu in, with a hurried pace, "Sir, your wife is in the bedroom at the corner of the fourth floor, in the blind spot of rescue." The fire has been burning for a long time and could explode at any time......"
"Don't talk nonsense, I'll save her."
The rescue captain pressed his shoulder and looked serious, "No, sir, you can't do this, it's dangerous, we will definitely do everything we can to save your wife." Now we're going to ask if she has any respiratory problems, or any other illness. For such a long time, if there is a respiratory disease, it is very likely that the person has ......"
Rong Xiu looked up at the window on the fourth floor, the fire had already surrounded the window, "No, she's still alive." She asked me to save her. Send me to the window on the fourth floor, and I'll save her. β
"It's dangerous, and it can explode at any moment."
Rong Xiu grabbed the captain's collar, stared solemnly into his eyes and said, "Don't talk nonsense, she is my wife, we live and die together!" β
The captain was taken aback, reacted, and immediately ordered someone to drive the fire ladder over.
Rong Xiu got on the ladder, and the ladder slowly approached the window on the fourth floor, but the fourth floor had already burned, and there was still a distance of two meters, so it was no longer possible to get close.
They discussed to rethink the plan, Rong Xiu took an oxygen mask, picked up the leather blanket and held it in his arms, stood on the ladder, and crashed into the living room with a jump, the glass slag was inserted into his leg, and Rong Xiu's face did not change.
The temperature in the living room was extremely high, he grabbed the fire blanket and draped it on his body, and walked to the bedroom door, "Nianxi?!" Ahem...... Nianxi, can you hear me? β
There was a bang outside, and Rong Xiu was knocked down the wall by the impact, and his eyes turned black all of a sudden, and he couldn't get up.
Someone downstairs exclaimed, "Hurry up, the fire has burned into the gasoline depot, everyone needs to evacuate!" β
Rong Xiu got up from the ground, and because of the high temperature, some blisters began to appear on his body.
He leaned against the wall to the bedroom door and kicked it open.
Xia Nianxi was lying in the bathroom, the bathroom was full of water, and the water from the faucet flowed all over the ground, dropping the temperature a lot.
ran to the bathroom and helped Xia Nianxi up, "Nianxi, wake up!" β
Xia Nianxi's face was pale, her breathing was weak, Rong Xiu's eyes turned red, and she hugged her tightly, "I'm here, don't be afraid, my husband will take you out." β
I don't know if I heard it in the coma, but a tear fell from the corner of Xia Nianxi's eyes.
Rong Xiu wrapped the leather blanket around her, put the oxygen mask on her face, picked up Xia Nianxi and walked out.
The fire had already burned to the bar, and Rong Xiu's back was hot, as if it was about to burn.
The flames at the window were getting stronger and stronger, and the fire ladder was four or five meters away from them, a distance that they couldn't get out of anyway.
Looking back at the doorway, flames drilled through the crack in the door, pressing down the wall.
Put Xia Nianxi on the ground, Rong Xiu ran into the bedroom and took the quilt to the bathroom, soaked it in the bath, and then took it out, looked at the flames at the window, spread it out and pounced on it.
The fire inside was suppressed at once, Rong Xiu picked up Xia Nianxi and hurriedly ran to the window, "Hurry up!" β
Qiao Ancheng stood on the safety lift and wore a firefighting suit, "No, the fire is too big outside!" β
Rong Xiu yelled impatiently: "Get closer, she has a fire blanket on her, hurry up, this quilt won't last long!" β
Qiao Ancheng pursed his lips, held the handle, and stretched out his hand to signal the people below to come closer, seeing that his body was in contact with the flames, his body stiffened.
"Catch her." Rong Xiu's voice was a little tense, his neck was red, and the many blisters on his arms were shocking.
The quilts were useless, and the flames came out of the quilts, burning his legs.
Seeing Qiao Ancheng approaching, Rong Xiu sent Xia Nianxi to him, the flames burned his legs, and Rong Xiu bit the blood from the root of his teeth and didn't let go.
The moment Qiao Ancheng treasured Xia Nianxi, Rong Xiu immediately retreated. The flames are arrogantly occupying the window again, and the only way out.
The safety ladder slowly descended, and Qiao Ancheng hurriedly shouted: "There is still someone inside!" β
The people below shouted anxiously, "Can't get any closer." β
"Take her away, I'll figure it out myself!" Rong Xiu shouted at Qiao Ancheng, turned around and rushed into the bedroom, drenched himself in the bathroom, ripped off the sheets and soaked them in the bathtub, and then draped them over his body.
Pick up the table and wait to go to the window, smash the window glass hard, climb up the window, and there is a layer of power grid outside, then the back alley of another building.
The middle distance is more than three meters.
The living room exploded again, and Rong Xiu quickly climbed out of the window and carefully stood on the platform that was only ten centimeters wide.
Downstairs at the hotel, the rescue team ordered, "Do everything you can to extinguish the fire." β
At the sound of an order, the firefighters sprayed water directly into the room on the fourth floor. The water is mixed with harmful substances, which can effectively extinguish fires, but it is harmful to the human body.
Qiao Ancheng fell to the ground with Xia Nianxi in her arms, Qiao Ancheng stumbled, Xia Nianxi slowly opened her eyes, and saw Qiao Ancheng holding her, her eyes were dull, and she fainted again for a moment.
"There are patients here who need first aid."
Xia Nianxi was in a daze and heard Qiao Ancheng keep talking in her ear.
She must have had a nightmare, and she would hallucinate Rong Xiu to save her, and said that she would take her home.
Consciousness slowly dissipated, Xia Nianxi's hands fell on his sides, and finally lost consciousness completely.
"Cheng Nuo!"
"Yes, young master." Cheng Nuo retracted his gaze and walked to Qiao Ancheng's side.
Qiao Ancheng held Xia Nianxi's head with both hands, looked at Xia Nianxi's face firmly, and said in a deep voice: "Find out, where did this fire come from?" β
Cheng Nuo turned his usual and smooth appearance, put on a straight face, and said calmly: "If we come to investigate this matter, it will soon be exposed...... If something happened to Miss Xia, the Situ family would not give up, and they would naturally find out. β
Qiao Ancheng looked up at Cheng Nuo and emphasized again unhappily, "Go check!" β
"Young master, let's decide after I tell Mr. about this matter."
Cheng Nuo pulled out the head of the Qiao family, Qiao Ancheng put down Xia Nianxi, stood up and looked at Cheng Nuo, "Don't forget, who are you working for." β
Cheng Nuo raised his head and looked at Qiao Ancheng, like an unruly queen, her eyes were indifferent, "Mr. said don't be impatient, the Qiao family can't be too public." β
ββ¦β¦β
"It's time to send Miss Xia to the hospital, you should have a good relationship with Miss Xia, it is very suitable for heroes to save beauty, please take advantage of this opportunity. I'll take care of other things first. After Cheng Nuo finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Cheng Nuo rushed into the crowd again, she looked around, where did that person go?
He must have been injured, where the hell is he? Cheng Nuo hurried his steps, looking for another person everywhere.
"There's someone injured here, come on!"
Cheng Nuo saw a few people helping Rong Xiu out of the back alley, his clothes were already burned to tatters, his body was full of scars, and even his hair was burned messily.
Covering his mouth, his eyes filled with tears.
It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive......
If you die, what's the point of me staying here and doing things against my will?
Rong Xiu was carried onto a stretcher and carried past Cheng Nuo.
Her nails dug into the flesh fiercely, so many years of forbearance, just to fulfill your dreams, if you die, what's the point of me staying here......
We can't let people know each other, we can't get close to you, we can't even say a few words to you.
Cheng Nuo didn't know how much he envied Xia Nianxi, that woman she could be his wife, even if she was divorced, she could still make Rong Xiu so reluctant.
They even ...... Have a child.
β¦β¦
In the Roman aristocratic hospital, Xia Nianxi was lying on the hospital bed, suddenly coughed violently, opened her eyes, and saw the white ward, she rolled her eyes, and felt so stiff.
The mind was dizzy as if I had slept for a long time.
Turning his head, he saw Qiao Ancheng standing by the window in long sleeves with a solemn expression.
"Dr. Joe."
Qiao Ancheng turned his head, a hint of complexity flashed in his eyes, and then disappeared and walked to the side of the bed, "How do you feel?" You inhale too much carbon monoxide and you've detoxified, but some carbon monoxide still gets into your bloodstream and you're in the hospital for a few days. β
"Is there anything wrong with my baby?" Xia Nianxi looked at Qiao Ancheng worriedly.
Qiao Ancheng sat in front of the hospital bed and reached out to pin her hair behind her ear, "The baby is very strong, although it also has fetal gas, but it will be fine for two days." Remember what I said and keep the mood up, you know? β
wanted to avoid Qiao Ancheng, but saw him wrapped in gauze on his arm, "Are you injured?" β
"It's a small thing, it's just a burn."
No wonder he was wearing long sleeves, recalling that Qiao Ancheng was wearing a firefighter suit and holding her, and he saved her again.
And she always causes trouble for him, Xia Nianxi has tears in her eyes, she bites her lip, "I'm sorry." β
She couldn't bear Qiao Ancheng's kindness to her, he was excellent, perfect, and didn't match her in all aspects.
"Fool, as long as you're okay, I'm at ease." Qiao Ancheng reached out and hugged Xia Nianxi.
"Don't be so nice to me......" She struggled slightly, touching Qiao Ancheng's wound, she heard him take a cold breath, and Xia Nianxi immediately quieted down.
She leaned on Qiao Ancheng's arms, listening to Qiao Ancheng's heartbeat, and couldn't bear or dare to push him away.
Knock knock!
Qiao Ancheng let go of Xia Nianxi and stood by the bed, the nurse pushed open the door of the ward and came in, and when she saw Xia Nianxi waking up, she breathed a sigh of relief and said to Qiao Ancheng in Italian, "It's so lucky that the two of them woke up at the same time." They are truly a God-favored couple. β
Qiao Ancheng smiled awkwardly and responded politely, "Thank you." β
Xia Nianxi couldn't understand Italian, but when she saw the nurse smiling at her all the time, there seemed to be envy in her eyes.
Is it envy that she won't die?
She was really lucky, but all this luck was brought by Qiao Ancheng.
After checking it and handing the medicine to Xia Nianxi, the female nurse looked at her with a smile on her face and said kindly, "mayyoubeinlovefovere."
Xia Nianxi's face turned red, and she glanced at Qiao Ancheng embarrassedly, did these people misunderstand her relationship with Qiao Ancheng.
After the nurse left, she said, somewhat confused, "Sorry for letting them misunderstand you." β
"Misunderstanding what?"
"That's it...... That one...... Misunderstanding that we are a couple......" Xia Nianxi's voice was as small as a mosquito.
Qiao Ancheng bent down to look at her at eye level, he reached out to hold Xia Nianxi's face, and said affectionately: "If I like this misunderstanding? Nianxi, can you not call me Dr. Qiao, this name is too distant and unfamiliar. β
"An, Anseong."
They had known each other for so long, and he always saved her name, and she didn't get enough of this request, so she didn't know what to do.
He smiled at Qiao Ancheng.
Qiao Ancheng's eyes warmed, revealing a breathtaking smile, Xia Nianxi felt that his breath was suffocating, and people who were too handsome were poisonous.
Keep your distance and don't be tempted by beauty!
She changed the subject and asked, "What about my brother?" β
She hadn't seen Situ Xian from beginning to end, they had obviously gone back to the hotel together, why hadn't they seen him all the time.
"Your brother is missing."
Xia Nianxi was shocked: "What? We had dinner together last night, you-"
"You've been asleep for three days, Nianxi, your brother has been missing for three days. After the fire broke out in the hotel, he was not found anywhere, and the fire killed three people, and there was no your brother in it. His phone couldn't get through, and he didn't contact anyone in China, so I had already called my uncle and aunt to inform him. When Qiao Ancheng said this, his expression was extremely solemn.
Xia Nianxi felt chills all over her body, she fell asleep for three days, and her brother disappeared for three days!
It feels like it was just a few hours ago, why it's only three days? She didn't believe it, so she hurriedly got up, took her mobile phone from the table, and looked at the time, it was really three days.
"Did you call the police?"
Qiao Ancheng shook his head, "Xian is not an ordinary person, if he really disappears, this matter will have a great impact on the Situ family, I secretly found someone to find it." Whether to call the police or not, you still have to wait for the aunt to come over before deciding. β
She didn't dare to wonder what her mother would have done if she had found out the news.
The door of the ward was pushed open, Cheng Nuo came in with lunch, and when he saw Xia Nianxi waking up, he walked over with a smile, "Miss Xia, you finally woke up!" β
"Hmm." Xia Nianxi nodded, her whole mind was now on Situ Xian's disappearance, and she was in no mood to care about anything else.
Qiao Ancheng reached out and pressed her shoulder, "Don't worry, the people from your branch have already gone to find it, and I have also sent some people to find it, maybe it is more reliable than the police, I will notify you as soon as there is news." Everything will be fine. Eat something, you can't get sick. β
Yes, she can't get sick, she is the only one in the Situ family who is in Rome, and she still has to find Situ Xian.
Cheng Nuo opened his lunch and put it on the bed table, "I only brought one, I'll buy one later." β
"No, I'm not hungry." Qiao Ancheng said in a displeased tone.
He has not forgotten Cheng Nuo's disrespect for him.
Cheng Nuo didn't care, she quietly turned around and walked out of the ward, only Xia Nianxi and Qiao Ancheng were left in the ward, she took a fork and looked at Qiao Ancheng, "Thank you for saving me." β
"No thanks, I don't know what to do if something happens to you."
"Did Cheng Nuo inform you?"
"You ......"
"The last time I saw you take her back to the hotel at the door of the hotel, you already knew each other."
A trace of panic flashed in Qiao Ancheng's eyes, and he hurriedly spoke: "You listen to my explanation!" β
"No need to explain, thank you for doing so much to take care of me, Cheng Nuo is very good, she takes good care of me."
Qiao Ancheng clenched his fists and coughed at his mouth, hiding his panic, sorting out his emotions and returning to normal, "Women take care of you, you may be more comfortable, I definitely don't mean to spy on you." β
"Well, I understand. She is a very smart woman, and being a tour guide is too condescending. β
There is no doubt that the speaker has a heart, and Qiao Ancheng did not answer, but just kept smiling.
In the afternoon, Qiao Ancheng went out for something, Xia Nianxi took it in the ward, and Cheng Nuo brought some things to relieve her boredom.
Xia Nianxi was in no mood to look at it, and her heart was full of where Situ Xian was now.
"I'll go out for a walk."
"Miss Xia, you'd better not go out, the doctor said you need to recuperate."
"Don't worry, I will take care of myself, Cheng Nuo, thank you, wronged myself to be my tour guide." Xia Nianxi looked back at her.
Cheng Nuo's expression froze, "Miss Xia knows?" β
"Well, I know all about it, if you hadn't notified Dr. Qiao in time, I might have ......"
In her mind, she recalled the scene when she saw Rong Xiu in the bathroom of the bedroom, but in fact, she couldn't be sure if it was a dream.
However, how could he appear there in such a timely manner, probably it was really a dream.
"Still don't come out-" Before Cheng Nuo finished speaking, Xia Nianxi had already pushed open the door and walked out.
There was no way, Cheng Nuo had to go out, there were many burn patients in the hospital, all of whom were burned in the hotel that day.
Xia Nianxi herself also burned her thighs and shoulders, and there were several blisters on her arms.
But because she was in the bathroom all the time, it saved her life.
"He was so brave that he jumped from the fourth floor!"
"I heard that he was there to save his wife, if he was disfigured, would they divorce?"
β¦β¦
Xia Nianxi listened fragmentedly, but she could still understand the main meaning, frozen in place, she was so nervous that she couldn't breathe.
She kept telling herself that it was just a dream, a humble longing in her heart until the last moment of her life.
This longing can't see people, she resists a person so strongly, but she wants to die in his arms before she dies, which makes her really shameless.
Isn't it all a dream?
Rong Xiu was really in the hotel at the time?
Turned around and grabbed Cheng Nuo's arm, "I'm looking for Rong Xiu, is Rong Xiu in this hospital?" β
"Rong Xiu?"
Xia Nianxi grabbed Cheng Nuo's hand and asked anxiously: "Yes, you have seen the Chinese man who came to me, help me ask if he is here." I don't know Italian, Cheng Nuo, help me! β
