Chapter1

When Xu Yun woke up from the dream, it was already dark.

In the foggy sky in the evening, she lay on her back on the bed, turned her face sideways to see the crow-blue canopy outside the floor-to-ceiling window, and felt that the whole world was empty, and she seemed to be alone as if she was the only one left.

She stared at the gray sky outside the window for a moment, and then her dilated pupils began to focus.

The phone rings at the right time.

She rubbed her sore temples, reached for her phone from the bedside table, and swiped the answer button.

"Hello?"

"Reporter Xu, are you done now?"

"Do you have time to meet with me? Just give me ten minutes! ”

Unlike Xu Yun's laziness when he just woke up, the middle-aged man opposite was slightly anxious and apprehensive.

His name is Gu Minsheng, and he is a family member of a murderer in a chemical plant poisoning case reported by Xu Yun a few days ago.

He had been looking for her countless times before that.

It is nothing more than to use the media's public opinion to clear his son's name and find some other auxiliary methods of commutation.

But Xu Yun's heart is black and white, being a journalist is her profession and her dream for many years, so she can't tolerate a little sand.

For this, the leader of the station has failed to count how many times she doesn't know how to be flexible.

Xu Yun sighed slightly, turned on the switch of the bedside lamp, and walked to the kitchen, and the rejection on the other end of the phone was neat.

"I'm sorry Mr. Gu, I'm still working overtime now, and I don't have time."

"I really can't help with your son's affairs, so don't bother with me."

After saying that, she didn't care what the other party wanted to say, and hung up the phone resolutely.

It was getting late, and after the aunt who had endured all the evil cooked instant noodles and finished eating, Xu Yun retracted back into bed again, enjoying the rest of her vacation of less than twelve hours.

But that night, as soon as she fell asleep in a daze with a hot water bottle, she was woken up by a faint smoke spreading from the living room.

She covered her mouth and nose, almost choking.

A large amount of smoke spread from under the door into the bedroom, and the scorching fire was faintly visible through the crack in the doorway.

Xu Yun jumped up from the bed with a spirit, and the hot water bottle was thrown to the ground, stained with gasoline.

The windows are old-fashioned burglar-proof and can't get out.

She went to open the door and found that the bedroom door was also blocked and could not be wrung open.

Dizzy, Xu Yun heard the vibration of the mobile phone.

Yes, call the police!

Her eyes lit up, and her aching and cloudy brain suddenly turned around because of her physical discomfort and choking on smoke.

Xu Yun knew that less than three hundred meters away from their community, there was a fire brigade.

But as soon as I turned on my phone, before I had time to dial, a strange call came in.

She didn't even look at it, and immediately pressed the hang up button.

The man persevered, and continued to fight.

She didn't want to delay any longer, so she gritted her teeth and picked it up.

A slightly frantic voice immediately came from the other side.

"Reporter Xu, aren't you working overtime?"

"I said you should give me ten minutes, you have to agree, do you regret it now? You blood-eating liar! ”

It is to take care of people's livelihood.

The blood in Xu Yun's whole body was cold.

But she didn't have time to chill, and she didn't have time to continue to be in a daze or panic.

After quickly hanging up the phone and blocking the number, she dialed 119 while walking quickly to the bedside table, covering her mouth and nose with a wet pillow towel with water in a cup, and squatting in the corner to wait for rescue.

The wait was long and arduous.

The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and Xu Yun was burned unconscious.

Her feet were stained with gasoline poured from under the door, and she was about to roll up the sheets and reach the corner of the wall where she was squatting, when someone suddenly kicked open the bedroom door and rushed in with billowing smoke.

It's a man.

Wearing a set of protective clothing for the fire brigade on his body, he was tall, bowed slightly when he entered the door, his face was hidden in the safety helmet and blurred, only the scar on his neck was unusually conspicuous.

Xu Yun only heard him ask in a cold voice, "Can you still go?" ”

She nodded, but her top-heavy body fell uncontrollably to the ground.

A second before her forehead hit the ground, a pair of powerful arms grabbed her by the waist and strode through the collapsed building materials and surging tongues of fire, and ran outward.

His chest was broad and steady, his arm muscles were smooth, and his weightless body was imprisoned like steel, and his tall figure was like a lighthouse, giving her inexplicable peace of mind in the turbulent road ahead.

As soon as the string in his heart was loosened, Xu Yun exhaled and completely fainted.

When she opened her eyes again, she was naturally in the hospital.

There was a circle of familiar faces around the bedside, all of whom were colleagues working at the TV station.

Seeing her open her eyes, Hu Qing, who was closest to her, breathed a sigh of relief and pinched her baby fat cheeks.

"My little ancestor, you frighten us!"

"How are you feeling now, is there anything uncomfortable that I would like to call a doctor for you?"

Hu Qing is the senior sister who brought Xu Yun into the industry, and she is also her direct boss, with a hearty personality and easy to get along with, and she has helped her clean up the mess in Taiwan.

It is the first friend Xu Yun made in the workplace.

Hearing the familiar noise, she came back to her senses from her daze.
