A girl got out of the car and ran to Gu Shangse's side, panting slightly. She tilted her head up to look at him, "Gu Shangse."
If Su Ling were here, she would immediately recognize this girl with stars in her eyes looking at Gu Shangse as the 'old' acquaintance, Jiao Jiao.
After Jiao Jiao got out of the car, several faces Su Ling was not unfamiliar with disembarked one after another.
And these people were all the ones who had moralistically blackmailed her at her doorstep that evening.
So, how did they know Gu Shangse and gather together?
This question had to start from the night Su Ling left.
That night, after Su Ling burned her villa to the ground with a single flame, she rode her bicycle through the night.
And not long after she left, a Sabre-toothed Tiger drove towards her villa area.
When Gu Shangse drove the Sabre-toothed Tiger near Su Ling's villa, he saw flames everywhere.
Uncertain of the specific situation, Gu Shangse accelerated his car. By the time his car reached the villa burning in the raging inferno, the fire had become too large to extinguish.
Gu Shangse, dressed in uniform, got out of the car. A crowd of onlookers had already gathered near the villa.
Among them were Jiao Jiao, Wang Qiang, and others who had just troubled Su Ling.
Jiao Jiao stood beside the burly Liu Yang and immediately spotted Gu Shangse, tall with long legs, handsome features, a straight posture, and a buzz cut.
When Su Ling reported the break-in at the villa to the police, Gu Shangse had responded to the call with a senior, so he knew that the villa in the fire was Su Ling's.
The fire was too intense, and with the wind fanning the flames, nearby buildings were also being affected.
Gu Shangse's eyes were fixed on the villa's main entrance. Without hesitation, he turned, opened his car door, retrieved a fire extinguisher and a folded thick blanket.
Although the fire extinguisher in his hand was like a drop in the ocean compared to the inferno illuminating the night sky of the villa area, he still wanted to try and rush in again.
At least, for now, the courtyard had not yet been engulfed by the flames.
Carrying the fire extinguisher and the thick blanket, Gu Shangse, under the gaze of Jiao Jiao and the others, kicked open the villa's main door and rushed in.
Gu Shangse stood in the courtyard under the high temperature. He threw the blanket he was holding into the pool to wet it, then draped it over himself. Holding the fire extinguisher, he walked towards the villa's floor-to-ceiling windows.
Looking into the villa through the floor-to-ceiling windows, he could see nothing but thick smoke and flames.
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, Gu Shangse wrapped himself tightly in the wet blanket and shouted with all his might towards the people inside: "Su Ling!"
While shouting, Gu Shangse was not idle. He went around to the villa's front door.
He continued to call out Su Ling's name while ramming his body against the villa's main door.
One impact after another, it made Jiao Jiao and the others outside the villa admire his perseverance and fearlessness.
However, their admiration became understandable when they saw the uniform on Gu Shangse.
Jiao Jiao stood in the crowd, watching Gu Shangse disregard his own safety to save Su Ling. Her eyes were filled with intense envy and jealousy. She gritted her teeth and then, raising her voice, shouted to Gu Shangse, who was still trying to break into the villa:
"Get out quickly, Su Ling is not inside. She went out to search for supplies!"
Fearing Gu Shangse couldn't hear her, Jiao Jiao hesitated, then took a few steps forward, looking at the terrifying fire and the oppressive heat, and repeated her words: "Hey, get out, Su Ling isn't inside. She's gone out to search for supplies."
Gu Shangse still couldn't hear Jiao Jiao's voice. He continued to call out Su Ling's name and bang on the door.
Jiao Jiao's heart hardened. She gritted her teeth and, steeling herself, ran into the villa.
She came to Gu Shangse and said, "Hurry, come with me. Su Ling is safe. She went to search for supplies."
