The Lady of the Prestigious Family is a Big Boss-Chapter 149, Grandpa will chase you to hell and won’t let you go (Fourth Update)

"Ye Jiuliang, don’t waste your energy," the man in black gasped as he lay on the ground, mocking relentlessly. "All these doors and windows are made of special material. Unless you saw through from the outside, you’ll just have to wait to die here."

"Cough, cough, cough."

The fire grew fiercer, and the thick smoke spread, making the man in black cough uncontrollably.

Ye Jiuliang stepped forward, pressing his foot against the man’s chest while covering his own mouth and nose, "Speak, where is the switch?"

Knowing there was no escape, the man in black gave up completely, "Honestly, there is no switch. You can’t run away, haha."

They had come here prepared to die with her. If they failed their mission, death awaited them upon their return just the same.

Ye Jiuliang kicked him away and covered her mouth and nose, surveying her surroundings with a lifted gaze.

The space was too small, and the fire was growing; there was no time to waste.

"Strange, why is Baona taking so long just to change her clothes?" Xiang Tian frowned in confusion.

"Eh, Mr. Li is back," Liu Cong said in surprise as he saw Li Mochan running over.

Li Mochan scanned the group and, not seeing Ye Jiuliang, his dark eyes suddenly deepened, "Where’s your boss?"

"We don’t know. Baona said the boss went to take care of something but didn’t say where," Gao Yang shook his head.

At these words, Li Mochan’s aura grew icy.

Just then, Baona rushed back, absolutely frantic.

"Xiang Tian."

Everyone looked toward the source of the voice and saw her disheveled with a tear-streaked face, shocking them all.

"Baona, what happened to you?" Seeing his girlfriend in such a state, Xiang Tian hurried to meet her.

When Baona saw Li Mochan, it was as if she had seen a savior, "Mr. Li, hurry and save the boss, she’s in trouble."

Li Mochan immediately stepped in front of her, his cold gaze fixed on her, "Where is she?"

Baona turned and pointed, "In the abandoned warehouse to the east."

As soon as she finished speaking, a gust of wind seemed to blow past them.

The next second, Li Mochan’s figure was nowhere to be seen.

Wei Nan’s brow furrowed, and without a moment’s hesitation, he quickly followed.

"Hurry, let’s go and see," urged Xiang Tian and the others as they quickly followed.

"There’s a fire, there’s a fire."

"Quick, call for help! Someone help!"

"There’s a fire, get water!"

As they approached, they could hear a cacophony of voices.

Flames surged towards the sky, and streams of black smoke billowed from the crack in the door.

"Sir, there’s a fire inside; you can’t go in," the firefighter attempted to stop Li Mochan from dashing in recklessly.

"Get out of the way."

Li Mochan shoved him aside and charged forward, his eyes bloodshot.

"Ye Jiuliang, Ye Jiuliang..."

Finding that the doors and windows were locked, panic the likes of which was rarely seen seeped into Li Mochan’s usually inscrutable eyes.

If you dare to let anything happen to you, I’ll chase you to hell and back, he vowed silently.

Inside, Ye Jiuliang was stacking ruined steel frames, making her way up. The doors and windows were locked tight, but the assailants had overlooked the wooden roof; it was the quickest escape route.

With smoke billowing around her, her vision blurring, Ye Jiuliang coughed continuously, her complexion growing paler by the second.

Suddenly, she thought she heard a familiar voice, deep and magnetic.

It was Li Mochan’s voice.

Hope flickered in her eyes as she grabbed a dagger from the ground and, without hesitation, sliced her arm open.

The searing pain shot up her arm, jolting her into an alert state.

She dropped the dagger, climbed up the frames, and with a hammer in hand, began pound at the ceiling.
