Chapter 360 - 361: Rescuing from Fire
"Yingying! What’s wrong with you?" Song Xiaodong instantly cried out in alarm when he heard Xiao Yingying’s voice, which obviously indicated she was in serious trouble.
"Fire... There’s a fire!" Xiao Yingying completed her sentence only to let out a scream right after, followed by dead silence on the phone.
Pale with shock, Song Xiaodong knew all too well the merciless nature of fire and water. He could no longer heed any caution and bolted out like a shot, nearly knocking Miao Xuanxuan over with his abrupt departure.
"Ah, Dongzi, what the hell are you doing?" Miao Xuanxuan cried out but before her words had even finished, Song Xiaodong had already vanished.
"What’s gotten into this guy?" Miao Xuanxuan pouted angrily, then pulled out her phone and muttered to herself, "He’s in such a rush, must be an emergency. I better find out what’s happening."
However, when she tried calling him, Song Xiaodong’s phone was already engaged.
Song Xiaodong had dialed 119 first. When it came to putting out fires, it was still best to leave it to the professionals. Relying solely on personal ability would be like trying to extinguish a car fire with a cup of water.
The operator on the line specifically told Song Xiaodong that the fire had been reported two minutes earlier. An extra two minutes was a small consolation to him; in the face of a raging inferno, even a second more could mean saving a life.
By this time, Song Xiaodong had already started the car. Today, he was driving Miao Qingqing’s Mercedes, which zoomed out like a roaring monster. It was so sudden that it frightened everyone around, causing them to scatter in all directions and curse behind him.
Song Xiaodong couldn’t bother with that now; luckily, it wasn’t rush hour, so the roads were relatively clear. He quickly revved up to over a hundred, weaving through the traffic like a slippery eel.
