C2164 How Could There be a Cigarette?!
Realizing Huo Niannian's mocking gaze, although Gu Zifan was irritated, he restrained his emotions and said, "Gu Tingshen is not as good as you see! He is a villain who will do anything for the sake of power and status!"
"Shut up!"
Huo Niannian scolded loudly with a cold face. Her eyes were like sharp ice blades that were dipped in poison, incomparably fierce.
"If you dare to speak ill of him again, I will not let you off!"
She gritted her teeth and her hands could not help but clench the report in her hands.
What face did Gu Zifan have to slander Gu Tingshen?
Did he not know his own limitations?!
"What I said is true. Gu Tingshen designed such a big play in order to take away my shares. He made me invest in the black industry chain and almost destroyed Gu Industries! What else can he not do..."
Before Gu Zifan could finish his words, a green smoke suddenly came out from the crack of the door, choking Huo Niannian and making her cough in discomfort.
"What's going on?" Huo Niannian suddenly got up from the ground and looked at the bottom of the door.
A large amount of green smoke entered the storage room.
The temperature in front of the door was much higher than before.
"Who, who is outside..." Huo Niannian used her hands to hammer the door. "Cough cough..."
Soon, the thick smoke had covered the entire storage room. The raging fire could be seen through the gap between the door and the door.
"Be careful!"
A beam fell from the roof and hit the cabinet behind Huo Niannian. Gu Zifan rushed to her back immediately. He did not have time to push her away. He could only use his body to support the cabinet and try his best to protect her.
Huo Niannian turned around and reached out to support the cabinet. Maybe there were too many things in the cabinet and she could not push it at all.
Gu Zifan exerted his strength and took a step forward. The cabinet fell to the ground.
His left shoulder was injured and his hand subconsciously held his shoulder.
"You are injured..." Huo Niannian looked at the rice shirt on his body. There was already red blood on his shoulder.
Huo Niannian stared blankly at the bright red color. Why would he save her?
Shouldn't Gu Zifan hate her...
"I'm fine. Go away." He gestured to Huo Niannian and walked to the door. He lifted his leg and kicked the door hard.
Unfortunately, this door was not an ordinary wooden door. It was made of stainless steel. There was no way to kick it open.
Gu Zifan gritted his teeth. More and more blood flowed from the wound on his shoulder.
No, he couldn't die here...
Saving Huo Niannian just now was just a subconscious action. He was a man after all. Protecting a woman who was weaker than him deserved it.
Even though this woman was Huo Niannian...
Gu Zifan knew that he did not like Huo Niannian nor did he love her. The reason why he saved her was more of a subconscious action.
After all, he was with Huo Niannian now. If something happened to Huo Niannian, the responsibility would be pushed onto him.
He was not as stupid as Du Ruoqing. He knew how to prioritize things.0
It was just that the current situation was not too good...
The fire outside was getting bigger and bigger. The sound of the raging fire being blown by the wind filled Huo Niannian's eardrums. It was extremely terrifying.
"Cough cough..." A large amount of thick smoke started to cough after Huo Niannian inhaled the lungs. She squatted on the ground, legs weak and paralyzed as she sat down. She looked at the thick smoke that filled the room. And... The temperature was getting higher and higher, and fear slowly rose in her heart.
While she was afraid, Huo Niannian clenched her fists tightly. Her nails dug into her palm, and with the help of the pain, she managed to maintain her consciousness.
She told herself not to panic, and not to panic.
There must be a way to get out... There must be a way...
Huo Niannian's mind slowly returned to normal and she found something strange.
This fire came mysteriously. If it was not man-made, it would not have spread so quickly.
Who was it...
Who in Old Mansion wanted to harm her?
Could it be Du Ruoqing... No, it wasn't possible... If Du Ruoqing wanted to harm her, how could she possibly be together with Gu Zifan...
